"Where did you disappear to?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.Annie's eyes welled up with tears as she began to explain her story. "I was chased away by Ma’am Martha," she said, her voice shaking. "She didn't want me around anymore, said I was a reminder of someone she doesn’t like."Kian's expression darkened, his jaw clenched in anger. "Go on," he encouraged, his voice soft.Annie took a deep breath before continuing. "I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. But then I heard that Miss Vivian were looking to recruit new maids, so I joined them. I wanted to be close to you again, that was why I entered the mansion, I knew Ma’am Martha wouldn’t be able to recognize my face anymore."Kian's smile returned, wider than before. "I'm glad you

Like.. I mean like a pregnancy test kit” I said my voice barely above a whisper but Louis wasnt listening instead she became excited“What’s with that smile” I said as I gazed at Louis.She then stopped her smile and nodded “I will be off now ma’am” as she walked

I gazed at the lawyer and gestured for her to meet me outside the mansion, I slowly walked out and saw the lawyer behind me.I sighed..“What was that about?” I asked my voice firm.She hesitated but then I yelled at her“What was that about? I am asking you a question”“Martha...” she stutteredI gazed at her face waiting for a response.“She threatened me” she saidI smiled “With what?

VIVIAN POVI stood still, watching Mira leave, and then suddenly felt my legs give way beneath me. I collapsed to the ground, my vision blurring.The guards were running helter-skelter, shouting and trying to rush to my side. Kian burst out of the room, his face etched with worry."Call a doctor!" he yelled at the guards. "Now!"I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back down.

"Take Mira into the car, Annie should sit beside her," he ordered, his voice low and commanding."Louis should also sit beside her," I added, my voice firm and authoritative.Louis gazed at me all of
