Stroking his beard, he spoke in a low voice, "All of your bad luck likely started because of that thing."

My stomach had been knotted all day, but now it was a dull, insistent ache. I made my way down the grand staircase, my footsteps echoing in the cavernous foyer. The house was too quiet. It lacked the smells of a real home—there was no scent of garlic or simmering soup, only the sterile fragrance of expensive floor wax and fresh lilies. I found the dining room, but the table was cleared. Not even a glass of water remained. "Looking for something?" I jumped, spinning around. A woman in a black-and-white uniform stood by the sideboard. Her name tag read Mrs. Gable. She was the head housekeeper, and her expression was a perfect mirror of Eleanor Wolfe’s: cold and unimpressed.

- the goblin asked insinuatingly, watching how I again hung on the threshold of the house. - No, sorry, - shaking my head, I nevertheless stepped over the threshold, examining the decoration from the inside. A whitewashed stove, with a bench moved up to it, which was now empty, opposite a table with three stools, on one of which the owner of the house was now sitting. In the other corner is a washstand with a towel thrown over it. Next to the bedside table, as I understand it, with dishes and other household utensils. Bunches of dried herbs hang everywhere, carrying specific aromas around the house. Everything looked very comfortable, almost like home.

The rows of apple trees growing and bearing fruit beside the garden make the air sweet. Gabriel got out of the car first while closing the steering wheel door with a strong movement. I got out of the car after Gabriel walked into the house. I tried my best to carry the large, heavy backpack into the house. My footsteps stopped when I saw Gabriel standing in the middle of the living room. “I've checked the entire house, and there's only one clean room that's still habitable. The other rooms are dirty and used as storage,” Gabriel said with a snort. I clutched the fabric of my backpack as he uncovered his hatred for me.

You know those days when you're absolutely certain you hate someone's guts? Every little thing about them drives you crazy the way they scrunch their nose at your cooking, the critical tone when they point out dust on a shelf, the cold indifference in their eyes when they walk past you like you're invisible. That's how I feel about him. Julian Blackwood. My boss. The billionaire who treats me like I'm beneath his notice unless I'm doing something wrong. And then I found out someone wanted him dead. I should have let it happen. I should have kept my mouth shut and watched the empire crumble around the man who made my life miserable. But here's the thing about hate it's dangero

A modern-day Cinderella, except my fairy godmother is a desperate staffing agency and my Prince Charming is a ghost who signs my paychecks. The housekeeper, a woman named Mrs. Gable with a face like a clenched fist, had given me the tour this morning. Her voice was a monotone drone of rules. "Mr. Davenport's study is off-limits. You are to clean it only when he is not present and only the surfaces I specify. Do not touch his desk. Do not open any drawers. His bedroom is the same. You change the linens, you do not snoop. Am I understood?"

“I’m confused as to why you are here, Erin.” “There is no disturbance or break in here.” Kill me now. Gabriel’s nostrils twitched, and I watched in horror as he tried to disguise his disgust, “What is that awful smell?” “The house had a sewage leak yesterday, I’ve been trying to clean, but the smell is a hard one to get out,” I cleared my throat, “But as you can see, there is no disturbance here. Just me and a rotten smell.” His eyes narrowed, “The homeowner is listed as Finnick Gray. I need to speak with him to make sure that everything is okay before I can leave…” His tone was laced with suspicion, and I knew I’d be hearing from my parents first thing in the morning.

Glen asked, rubbing a hand over his face, still shaken. “I always wake up at this time,” she replied flatly. The routine was carved into her—cleaning, organizing, making herself useful. “Forget all this,” Glen said, gently taking her hand and pulling her to her feet. “You’re not doing chores anymore. I’ve hired a housemaid.” Akiko blinked in surprise but said nothing as she followed him back toward the living room. Just then, the doorbell rang. Glen opened the door to reveal an elderly woman standing with a small suitcase beside her.

Barefoot, they moved as quietly as possible, hauling supplies upstairs. This trip, the Goodmans came out with the biggest haul. They had gotten over 100 pounds of dog food, along with dozens of pounds of rice and crispy fried fish. If they rationed carefully, it could last them for months. Gabrielle's nerves were stretched tight. She pressed her ear to the door, listening for any movement outside before quietly letting Derek and Lydia in. When she learned their family had received a share, she lowered her voice, emotion thick in it. "The people on the 18th floor are really something. We can't forget their kindness."
