Why are you so quiet?” Lukas asked, his voice edged with impatience. “At least tell me if she did anything more than that.”

Only then did he notice she wasn’t even looking at him.

    Lukas flipped the receipt. He found a note on the back.*Lukas, this is the receipt of my spending. Please subtract from my salary in exchange. Thank you for letting me use your card. And also, I bought you food from the restaurant for your dinner we came back from the mall late."Nonsense," Lukas said. He crumpled the paper. Threw it in the trash can. He was in a bad mood already. Reading this made him more annoyed.She still talks about salary this and that. Subtract salary? Does she think I can't give her what my brother gives? Lukas thought mad.Gloria got up Sunday morning. She washed her face. Brushed her teeth. Tied her hair in a bun. She opened the next bedroom door. Checked on Annabel. Annabel slept soundly. Like a little angel.Gloria closed the door quiet. Did not want to wake her.Gloria went up to Lukas's penthouse. Cooked breakfast. Cleaned a little before the housekeeper came late in the noon.She did everything on autopilot.

    One of them is called Lucy She is my mother-in-law’s niece from her brother. She kidnapped Annabel and took her hostage?Isaiah's eyes widened. “what!”"Shh!" Gloria covered Isaiah's mouth quick. She pointed at Annabel with side-eye. It meant: Quiet! It hurts her to remember."Mary kidnapped her when Annabel was in the Gray mansion with Dorothea," Gloria whispered. "I almost died out of panic when I got the news my daughter was kidnapped. I thought I would die too if Mary killed Annabel.""And how did it get solved?" Isaiah asked soft."Lucy wanted my mother-in-law to give her 100 million cash as ransom. But my mother-in-law and Victor tracked her down in less than four hours after Annabel was kidnapped," Gloria explained. "Annabel said Aunt Lucy slapped her and squeezed her arms until they were red. She was so scared by her mean face. Lucy had forced Annabel to shut up. Said 'Aunt Lucy will choke you to death if you don't zip your lips.'""And what happened to Lucy after she got caug

    Funny thing: people in the news hardly ever saw Gloria or Annabel. They were the wife and daughter of a young, handsome billionaire. But when reporters asked Victor about his missing wife, he always said the same thing. "My wife is shy. She hates cameras. I protect my family."People believed him. They thought he wanted a normal life away from flashing lights."Why don't you go to big events with him?" Isaiah asked."Victor says no. I can't meet strangers. I can't go out much. I'm stuck in the house," Gloria said sadly. "I just care for Annabel, cook food, wash clothes. At first, it was okay. Victor is jealous. But then I learned he sleeps with other women all the time. Non-stop. I felt like old furniture. I got so sad. I even thought about ending my life."Isaiah's eyes went wide. Gloria smiled a sad smile. "Please don't tell Lukas, okay? I don't want him to think I'm a problem. I can't lose my job now. It would be the end for me."Isaiah bit his lip. At first, he thought Gloria was

    Isaiah smiled big. He knelt down in front of Annabel. He was very tall. He knew he looked scary to small kids. Especially shy ones like Annabel."Of course, Princess," he said softly. "My name is Isaiah Johnson. You can call me Uncle Isaiah. What is your name again?"Annabel turned white. She heard "Uncle" and got super scared. She ran behind Gloria's legs fast. She hid her face in Gloria's leg. She held on tight.Isaiah frowned. This was not normal for a kid. Something was wrong."Mommy, I'm scared!" Annabel cried. Her voice was small and shaky.Gloria looked at Isaiah. Her eyes begged him to help. "It's okay, baby. Call her Mr. Isaiah. She is not your uncle, right Mr. Isaiah?"Isaiah felt confused. But he nodded. "I'm sorry, little princess. I am not your uncle. Call me Mr Isaiah, okay?""Um..." Annabel nodded a little. She peeked out. "My name is Annabel Rose Gray. Mr Isaiah can call me Annabel.""Okay, Annabel. Nice to meet you!" Isaiah smiled again. He hoped she would relax now.

    Gloria and Annabel went to Mall to buy groceries Luckily for her It was late afternoon, so not too crowded."Yay, grocery time!" Annabel hopped happily behind her mom, skipping down the aisles. Gloria checked her list: raw ingredients, spices, dairy.They shopped here before. They drove from their mansion to the Upper East Side for Citarella or Grand Central. Then dinner at The Brown Hut—just them, laughing and sharing desserts.Victor was rarely home. Busy with business—and sleeping with any woman he met.Sometimes Gloria got tired. She drove Annabel to school morning and night, then shopped. At home, she cooked and did laundry.Housekeepers cleaned every two days. Gardeners helped. Gloria just cooked for Annabel and washed clothes.But she did it all alone, with depression and starving herself for diets. It made her weak and sick.She asked Victor for a driver. He said no—called her a "thirsty whore" who would sleep with the driver.So only Victor was the man in the house.He proba

    How do can I hid this? Lukas can't know about this," he must never find out.” Gloria mumbled at the mirror. "If he knows my body problem, he'll think I'm annoying.""Maybe he'll kick me out. He won't want me as his worker. He's so unpredictable."It was just her guess. But Lukas got mad easily. She did not want to risk it.She wanted to save money for her daughter. Maybe get another job or open a store later. Any way to support herself.She could get divorce money, but Victor refused to divorce. With his corrupt friends in power, Gloria would lose and suffer most.She had no plan to charm Lukas. She did not believe in love anymore."Staying with Lukas is temporary," Gloria told herself.Lukas fixed his shirt cuffs and left his room. He looked for Gloria. He frowned at the dirty plate on the table."Where is she?" Lukas wondered."Sister-in-law?""Gloria?""Gloria!" He raised his voice. She answered from the bathroom near the kitchen."Y-Yes!" Gloria opened the door. She walked slowly
