AL-Ghainyy
“Sign the papers, Giada. You were never worth more than the dishes you washed.”
For four years, Giada Vitale scrubbed their floors, cooked their meals, and raised a child that wasn’t even hers, while her husband crawled into his brother’s wife’s bed every night and his mother counted every grain of rice she ate.
They called her a mule. A stray dog they fed out of charity. A cockroach who should be grateful for crumbs.
When they kicked her out, his mother smiled and said, “Finally, the smell is gone.”
But Giada has already lived through the end of the world, and she came back with ninety days to prepare, a supernatural ability no one can explain, and a lottery ticket worth forty million dollars.
Now the husband who spit on her pride is kneeling at her door, using the same child he hid from her as a bargaining chip.
“Kneel until your knees bleed,” his mother ordered him. “For forty million dollars, you can crawl all the way to the moon.”
Too late.
The woman they treated worse than a dog is now the only person who can survive what’s coming.
And she doesn’t need a single one of them.
“Go home, Enzo. A child should not be used as a mop.”
