“Straighten the skirt perfectly, Narra. I don’t walk around with wrinkled clothes in the mall,” Amari instructed from the couch while I was ironing her clothes in Rafael’s bedroom.

My stomach tightened every time I looked around the room, thinking of the time Rafael was slamming his body against mine and whispering my name in my ear.

My face flushed, and I cleared my throat, trying to rid my mind of Rafael’s thoughts. He was the worst man I could’ve offered my body to.

“Yes, ma’am,” I whispered as I straightened the skirt as best as I could.

I was doing everything I could to survive until the next day. So long as Rafael spared me, Amari could order my release.

“When you’re done, I want you to hand-wash my clothes. I don’t want the dryer to ruin the fabric. Okay?” She glanced at me before returning her gaze to her cellphone, tapping nonstop on the screen.

I looked at her as she lay on her back on the couch and felt like slamming the iron into her face. Everything I could

    •NARRA•“Oh, Judith. You have such a kind heart to call and check on me. The death of my dearest Aneira has been so heavy in my heart. My life has no meaning anymore, and as if the world couldn’t be cruel enough, they took my only daughter, Narra, and married her off to that beastly man, Rafael Sterling.” My mother sobbed over the phone, and I rolled my eyes as I sat beside her on the couch.“Good heavens,” Judith gasped on the other end of the line. “Rafael would tear her apart. He won’t let her go until she’s dead. You should get your daughter back, Emma. What about your husband? Is he well? I noticed you haven’t been home for two weeks now. Your house is as quiet as a grave.”I saw my mother roll her eyes before she continued her performance. “My poor husband is late, Judith. Rafael has refused to give me his body, and I’ll never know where he was buried. My life is a melody of sadness and grief.”“Don’t worry, Emma. God will see you through and will bring your daughter back to saf

    •ANEIRA•“Are you pregnant, Narra?” Rafael’s voice was calm, but his stare could’ve split me open.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. The man standing before me, the one who made me his maid after he got me pregnant, was now asking if I was pregnant.“I’m not,” I answered. “Miss Amari assumed I was because I ran to the bathroom to vomit. I must have eaten something bad.”I prayed he would believe me. That they would both just let me go before I would say things that would get me in trouble.“Are you calling me a liar?” Amari’s voice cut through the room, sharp and venomous.I flinched. My cheek still stung from the last time she’d raised her hand on me.“I’m not pregnant,” I repeated, forcing myself to meet her eyes. “My mother wouldn’t have allowed me to marry Rafael if I were.”“She’s lying,” Amari snapped, pointing her finger at me. “You should move her to one of your clubs, Rafael. Let her scrub floors where she belongs because if your sister finds out she’s pregnant, she’ll think

    •ANEIRA•After working in the garden for two hours without taking a break, I sat on the bench nearby to catch my breath.I felt out of breath and a little hungry, but I didn’t want to go inside the house to get food yet. Not when I would bump into Rafael or Amari and get questioned if I had done what they instructed me to do.Lost in thought about the past, specifically when my dad was alive, and we’d wash dishes together, I noticed someone walking towards me.I lifted my eyes and looked as Amari got closer. Her brow knitted, and she looked angry. I then stood up when she arrived at my side.“Amari,” her name came out as a whisper, and she quickly cut me off.“Who do you think you are, Narra? Didn’t I tell you to wash my clothes? Do you want me to do them myself when I have clearly given you an instruction?” She fumed as she pointed her finger at me.“I—” A hot slap landed on my cheek before I could finish my sentence, and I clutched onto it tightly.I squeezed my eyes closed, fightin

    •RAFAEL•“This is your gift, Father. Polly and I are grateful for being there for us when we lost our parents. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you and my late aunt.” I handed him the small gift box, and he took it with a smile on his face.Uncle Cyprus took us in with his late wife, Jenn, and raised us alongside their son and daughter. And he never discriminated against us.“Another gift after all the ones I’ve received?” He chuckled. “My son, you and your sister were a blessing in our lives.” He placed his hand on my shoulder and leaned close. “Can we talk in private?”I looked at Sophie, Polly, and Neville to give us a moment, and they nodded as they headed to the door and left us in the dining area.When it was finally just the two of us, he leaned back and sighed. “What are your plans with Ethan’s daughter? Polly told me everything that happened when you threw her out of the house because she gave this girl a beating. How could you make her think you can throw your own siste

    •ANEIRA•I couldn’t stop thinking about the two lines I saw on the pregnancy test. My heart beat fast, and I sat on the bed in the afternoon and looked at the time.When I saw I had ten minutes to spare before returning to work, I took my cell phone and called Noleen.I had told her two nights ago that I might be pregnant with Rafael’s child and swore that if I were, I’d get rid of the pregnancy.“Noleen. Hey.”“Aneira? My goodness, I thought you had changed your cellphone contacts because you don’t want Rafael to know where you are. Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” I sighed, not paying attention to what she said when she answered the call. “The pregnancy test came back positive, and I don’t know what to do. My body has betrayed me for conceiving a child of a man who has brought me nothing but pain and humiliation,” I sobbed.“Don’t worry, we will sort this out, babe. Rafael won’t find you or know you’ve ever been pregnant. Please send me your location because I couldn’t find you last night
