Around noon, the mansion heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. I wiped my hands on my apron and rushed to the door. 'Mattias is home,' I grinned and whispered. Maybe he'd been called away on business. Maybe I was doing too much. I opened the front door. Slowly, my smile died. Mattias climbed out of the driver’s seat. He circled the car and slid open the passenger door. A pretty lady came out with a graceful step. Her dress was cream, her heels designer and her j

    I looked down at my legs, not knowing what was happening. I tried to move my right leg. Nothing. I tried the left side. Still nothing. I was scared. “Please…” I gasped, gripping the bed sheet. “Oh, please God. “Don’t let my kid. I forced myself to sit up, but the second I moved, a sharp pain travelled through my back. I gasped and sank back on the pillow. Tears came to my eyes. My doctor warned me about it. I was tired in my body. I had not been eating well. I'd spent all day at work, I'd hardly slept, and I'd been in a dark room for hours. Mattias had locked me up in an abandoned room, leaving me to starve; he said it was a punishment for yelling at Nora.And I was waiting. A child I prayed for. A child I waited years for. I placed both hands on my belly. “Please be okay,” I whispered. “Here’s Mommy. The door burst open suddenly. I quickly brushed away my tears. A maid came in with a new tray of food. Mrs. Summer, you have to eat. “I ain’t want nothin’. "You have to. I said, "

    CHAPTER FIFTY ONE KEEPING MY SECRET I returned home with my pregnancy result hidden inside my handbag. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I had something that belonged only to me. My baby. I gently placed my hand over my stomach as I walked into the mansion. Nobody noticed me. Everyone was gathered in the living room. Nora sat comfortably on the couch, while Mrs. Lambert sat beside her, listening to every word she said. Elena was there too. Mattias was nowhere to be seen. I quietly walked past them. “Summer.” I stopped. Mrs. Hambert looked at me. “Where have you been?” “Out.” “Out where?” I tightened my grip around my handbag. “Somewhere.” She frowned. “You've suddenly become secretive.” “I have nothing to hide.” Nora glanced at me.
