CHAPTER 21

GILDA'S POV I opened the letter, which was addressed to me, and I had to open it. It was an invitation letter to a family gathering from the Williams family. I frowned. Why was I being invited to such a gathering? They could have asked someone else to be there. Why would they ask me to be in their midst? Maybe Ethan sent me this; he wants me to be there so he can stand in front of the family and talk about how much of a whore I was. He gets to do that at every chance he gets. I sighed, exhausted at how my life was getting twisted. Things were going from bad to worse, and I can not believe it. I held the invitation in my hand as I walked to Japheth's room. This can not be, and it is time to call his brother to order. I raised my hands and knocked on the door. Then I heard his voice; he asked me to come in. I got inside his room and met a sight that I was not meant to see. Why would he ask me to come in when he was shirtless, and he had only his trousers? On. I could see the i

CHAPTER 22

GILDA'S POVI could feel their eyes on me. My dress was simple, yet it made them uncomfortable. Angel held my hands as if I were some kind of hope. I had been asked to sit at the front table because of her.I knew how hurt Jane would be since it wasn’t her sitting at the front beside Japheth.I tried to focus, but then I saw her. I thought the maids would be my only concern, but I was wrong. My fears were real.Vera walked in with Ethan. I saw the way he smiled at her and how he held her waist as he guided her to a seat.He was right; he never loved me because he never did those things for me. I had asked for them, but I never received them.Pain filled my chest and then my throat. The time wasted hurt me the most. I should have noticed the multiple signs.“What is she doing here?” Japheth asked Ethan after they settled into the chairs next to us.Ethan scoffed. He scanned the room before fixing his gaze on me. “I warned you about her. Why bring her to such a gathering?” He shook his

CHAPTER 23

GILDA'S POVI got up, ready to continue with my job as if nothing had happened the day before. I headed into the kitchen to grab Angel's food. "I hope you return the gown you wore last night. Do you know how ugly you looked?" Jane stood next to me. I stayed silent, took the food from the cook, and stepped out of the kitchen. She followed, still chattering away. Not a word slipped from my lips. I entered Angel's room and found her sitting on the bed, as if she had been waiting for me. "How do you feel?" I asked. She smiled. She reached for her writing pad and answered. "There’s something else you want to say, I can tell," I said. She nodded. She wrote about how happy she was last night for defending myself and her father. "I needed to do that. Ethan always comes after me and makes me look helpless and stupid. I had to stand up for myself," I said. I glanced at her pad and noticed something else. "I will definitely do it again if Ethan dares to come at me."I pushed her food

CHAPTER 24

GILDA'S POVThe door opened and one of the guards stepped in. "The boss needs all of you right now. He wants to speak to all of you," he said.Jane sighed and walked away. I followed her, and we all went to the sitting room. Japheth wasn't there yet. We waited for him.I could feel the tension in the air; it made my stomach churn. I hated being in this situation. I knew why he had gathered us all here, and I knew I was the reason.My legs felt sweaty, and my palms were too.Japheth finally arrived. He looked at all of us. "Thank you for being here. There is something I want to talk about," he said.The other maids exchanged glances, but I stayed still. "This is about Gilda. I've seen how she is treated, and I do not like it. I am ordering all of you to treat her well," he said.Heads turned again, and whispers began."Jane, you did some things that I'm aware of," he said.I froze. What was he talking about?"I'm aware of the poisoning of my daughter. I know you gave Gilda the seed tha

CHAPTER 25

GILDA'S POVI couldn't tell anyone about it. I also couldn’t tell Japheth; I didn’t want to cause trouble for his family.I didn’t want to be the reason he got into any trouble. "Is something wrong?" Angel wrote.I snapped back to reality after she tapped me. I was supposed to feed her, but my hands felt glued to the plate. My mind was racing, and I held my hands still while I thought about what to do next.I was furious that things weren't going the way I wanted. Still, there was nothing I could do."I'm good," I said. Was I really good? It was obvious that I wasn't, but I had to put on a brave face so no one would worry about me.I was already dealing with too much, and I didn’t want to be a burden. So I had to maintain that facade. "That's not true," she replied.I smiled at her. Whether it was true or not, did anyone really care that much about me?I smiled at her again and kept feeding her. Once I was done, I took the plates. The other maids said nothing. They just stood th

CHAPTER 26

JAPHETH'S POVI took the items she had chosen from her hand; she seemed shaky and scared. How could I make her feel comfortable around me? I wanted her to talk to me without bowing her head to the floor."You should pick more. There are so many things here; you can’t possibly take just these small items," I said. "Okay, sir," she replied, bowing her head again.I didn’t want that. It felt like she was afraid of provoking me, and it made me uneasy."I want you to join her. You can pick things for her too," I told one of the storekeepers.I wheeled myself back to the other room, waiting for her and Angel to return. While I waited, a group of girls walked in.I looked down at my phone, trying to stay unnoticed, but I realized it was too late."Hello," I heard one of them say. She approached me with a bright smile."I knew it was you, Japheth Williams. I wasn’t wrong," she exclaimed.I sensed her excitement, but I could also see something else—desire."I’ve been wanting to see you, to h

CHAPTER 27

JAPHETH'S POV A call came in on my phone, and there was also a knock on my door at the same time. "Come in," I said. I picked up the call at the same time. It was Jay; he was the one at my door and calling at the same time. "What's wrong?" I asked. I knew something was wrong; he has never acted like this. Even the look on his face was worrisome. "The picture, the lady from the mall," he said in a rush. He ran his hands through his hair in so much frustration. I was confused as well. "What lady?" I asked him. "The mall…the lady from the mall, she is doing something that might be dangerous to your reputation, and it's only wise that we fix this right now," he said. He paced from one place to the other. The lady from the mall? The picture? I remember now. What was going on? "What is going on? Can you explain it to me clearly?" I asked him. "The picture she took at the mall yesterday is all over the place; she claims to be your wife, and everyone seems to be believing her cl

CHAPTER 28

JAPHETH'S POV She stood in front of the camera as she made the video. She followed the script, saying everything we wanted her to say without leaving anything behind. As she spoke, she would look at me, and her eyes would return to the paper in front of her. I was not moved by the way she kept stealing glances at me; it irritated me. She finished, and the paper was taken from her. The video was posted by her as well. "This is not fair," she said.It was not fair to me as well. I get to be on the internet for the wrong reasons, I have built a solid reputation, and she was not about to get it ruined. " Will you shut the hell up?" I raised my voice. " I did not expect things to go the way they did. I thought I was going to get your attention from it, but look what you are making me do," she said. She was trying so hard to make me appear as the bad person, like I was doing something wrong to her. It was insane, but I kept my cool. "'Are you going to continue with this? Don't you

CHAPTER 29

GILDA'S POVThe way he looked at me, the way he would listen to me while I read the lines in the story made me want to keep on reading forever, just to see him looking at me that way, but Angel had already fallen asleep."I think I'll have to stop for now. She is already asleep," I said."Right. Even though I would want to continue the story, I don’t want to stress you, so you can go to bed," he said.I carefully returned the book to where I had taken it from and went ahead to tuck Angel to sleep.I covered her with the duvet and ensured she was fine."Thank you," he said.I wondered why he was thanking me; it was my job. I was paid to do this."You do not have to thank me. I enjoy taking care of her; besides, she makes it so easy for me," I said.He nodded."I know. I mean, I have tried several nannies, and she ends up disliking them, and that caused the constant changes of nannies. I'm happy she likes you, and you've been very helpful," he said.I could feel it. I could feel his gra

CHAPTER 30

GILDA’S POVI rushed out of my room that morning. I knew very well that Japheth had instructed the guards not to let her in, but there she was at the gate.I was right, they wouldn’t let her in, so she had to stay outside and wait for me.My legs felt heavy, and lifting them from the ground to walk toward her seemed like an enormous task. I hated that she was here; I hated that she even thought of me. I wanted my face erased from her memory. How hard could that be? Why couldn’t that request be granted?I approached the gate, though not too close. I needed to keep my distance so she wouldn’t harm me.Vera could be violent when she wanted to be, and I was trying to avoid that side of her.“What do you want? And be fast about it. You know you’re not supposed to be here, I told you this last night. The last time you came, Japheth warned you to stay away and not come near this place. What are you doing here?” I asked.She looked around, glanced at the building, and sighed.I recognized the
