THE MAID'S REVENGE

If there was one thing I had learned about Beverly Usaka, it was that her smile was never a good sign.

She could smile while insulting someone, smile while giving orders, and even smile while making another person's day miserable.

But that morning, her smile was different.

It was too sweet.

And I knew better than to trust it.

"Good morning, Serene!"

I nearly dropped the pile of freshly folded towels.

Beverly stood at the bottom of the staircase, wearing a beautiful cr

    THE MAID'S REVENGEThe photograph was still in my hands when I entered Sebastian Chaviz's study.The words written behind it kept repeating in my mind.Ask Sebastian about the night Victor entrusted him with the second key.Sebastian looked up from his desk. His expression changed when he saw the photograph."Where did you get that?""Adrian received it. I think it's time we stopped hiding things from one another." I placed it on his desk. "What is the second key?"For a moment, he said nothing. Then he slowly opened the drawer and took out a small wooden box."Your father gave this to me twelve years ago."He unlocked the box with a tiny key attached to his necklace. Inside was an old brass key and a folded letter.I stared at it."What does it open?""The private archive beneath the old Delacruz office. Your father kept the original records there, including the evidence against Raymond.""Then why didn't you tell me?""Because Raymond had people watching everyone connected to your f

    THE MAID'S REVENGEFor twelve years, I had dreamed of confronting the man who destroyed my family.I imagined myself standing before him, telling him how much I hated him. I imagined watching him lose everything he had taken from us.But now that Raymond Baltazar's identity as the mastermind had been exposed, I realized something.Revenge was not going to bring my father back.And it certainly wouldn't erase the mistakes I had made.I had entered the Chaviz mansion under a false name, lied to people who had tried to protect me, and nearly destroyed a family that had already suffered because of Raymond.Still, I wasn't going to let him escape.Not this time."You're not going after him alone."Aaron's voice interrupted my thoughts.We were inside the Chaviz mansion's study. Adrian and Daniel were reviewing the documents recovered from the old hotel.I looked at Aaron."I wasn't planning to."He raised an eyebrow."You're a terrible liar."I sighed."Do you have to repeat that every tim

  • THE MAID'S REVENGE   CHAPTER 13—THE MAN BEHIND EVERYTHING

    THE MAID'S REVENGE For twelve years, I had imagined the face of the man responsible for my father's death. I imagined someone cruel, someone heartless, someone who would never hesitate to destroy another person's life for money. I never imagined that I would once see him smiling beside my family. Raymond Baltazar. The man who had framed the Chaviz family. The man who had manipulated me into seeking revenge against innocent people. And the man who knew exactly where my father had disappeared from my life. But there was something I still couldn't understand. Who inside the Chaviz mansion had helped him? I found Adrian in the library the following morning. He was standing beside the old clock, examining the hidden cabinet. "You're early," he said without looking at me. "I couldn't sleep." "Same here." I showed him the photograph of Elena. His eyes widened. "Where did you get this?" "An anonymous message." He carefully took the phone and examined the

  • THE MAID'S REVENGE   CHAPTER 12— THE WRONG FAMILY

    THE MAID'S REVENGE I had spent twelve years believing the Chaviz family destroyed my life. Twelve years of anger. Twelve years of questions. Twelve years of imagining the day I would finally make them pay. But that morning, standing outside Sebastian Chaviz's study, I was about to discover that everything I believed might have been a lie. "Come in, Serene." Sebastian's voice came from inside. I entered with Aaron beside me. Adrian was already seated near the window, looking unusually serious. Sebastian stood behind his desk. "Please sit down." I remained standing. "I would rather hear the truth first, sir." He nodded slowly. "Then I suppose we should begin with your father." My heart tightened. Sebastian opened a drawer and removed a thick folder. "Twelve years ago, Victor Delacruz discovered that Raymond Baltazar had been secretly using their company to move money through several false business accounts." I frowned. "Why would Raymond do that?" "Because he wanted co

    THE MAID'S REVENGE I never thought I would miss the Chaviz mansion. Yet, sitting inside an unfamiliar room with Raymond Baltazar's men watching the door, I found myself wishing I could return to the place I had once considered my enemy's territory. At least there, I knew where the exits were. Here, I didn't even know what time it was. Raymond had left hours ago, taking every answer I wanted with him. I still had no idea what he planned to do with me, but one thing was certain: he wanted the document I had discovered in the mansion. And he was willing to keep me here until he got it. I sat on the edge of the chair, trying to remember every detail of the room. Then I heard shouting outside. "Check the other entrance!" My heart jumped. A few seconds later, someone ran past the door. Then came a voice I recognized. "Where is she?" Aaron. I stood immediately. "Help!" I shouted. "I'm here!" The door opened, and one of Raymond's men rushed inside. "Quiet!" I stepped back.

    THE MAID'S REVENGE I should have known that the warning was not an empty threat. After everything that happened with Beverly, I thought the worst part of my day was finally over. I was wrong. Because that night, I would disappear from the Chaviz mansion. And nobody would know where I had gone. "About the woman who disappeared twelve years ago." Adrian's words kept repeating in my head as I followed him toward the library. He had been unusually serious since our conversation near the sitting room. "Who was she?" I asked. Adrian closed the library door. "Her name was Elena Reyes." My heart began beating faster. "Elena Reyes. The woman in the photograph?" He nodded. "She was my mother." I stared at him. For a moment, I couldn't find the right words. "Your mother?" "Yes." I remembered the family document I had discovered behind the old clock. Adrian's name had been written beside Elena's, with Sebastian Chaviz listed as his legal guardian. "Why was your name on the doc
