Chapter 6

Chapter 6

*EPISODE: 06*

Elisa and I rushed to the hospital.

I couldn't believe it! My grandmother, the one who always supported me, who always loved me and believed in me, is in a coma. I don't want to lose her! Nope ! Not her !

My tears keep flowing, I was in pain, I had already lost a precious being and I refuse to lose her too.

***

When we arrive at the hospital, we go to reception and ask for Grandma's room. The secretary takes her time and I had to threaten to punch her in the face to make her go faster. When she FINALLY gives us Grandma's room number, my sister and I run as fast as we can.

When we get upstairs, I feel my anger rising when I see "my very dear parents" in front of Grandma's room. Besides, when the latter see us, they rush towards us or rather towards Elisa, with open arms.

"Elisa my darling!" yelled my mother rushing to my sister

However, Elisa pushes her away and looks at her with hatred and disgust.

"Eliza, but...

"Get out!" said my sister coldly.

I believe that if his gaze could kill, "my" mother will already be dead. Besides, when the latter sees me, she stares at me.

"Is it because of her?" Said this idiot pointing at me. "Are you pushing me away because of her? I'm sure she did everything to turn you against me. Elisa, you mustn't stay with that girl! That whore is going to destroy you!"

-Where are you calling me a slut?! You dirty old thing!” I insulted her, clenching my fists.

Whore ! Let her get out of here before I paint that witch again!

“Did you see Elisa? She insults me! She insulted me! Me! Her own mother!

"My own mother?!" I said, laughing bitterly. "You haven't been my mother since the day you left me to rot in prison. Never ! Oh I will never forgive you! I'll make you suffer until you beg me to stop!" I threatened her.

Elisa takes me by the arm and we go to Grandma's room. When we walk in, my heart sinks seeing the machines near her and all those wires.

I rush over to her and start crying. My sister comes over to me and hugs me to calm me down, but it was too hard.

I absolutely didn't want to lose her.

"No grandma...don't leave me." I say crying.

I take her cold hand and squeeze it. I wanted her to wake up, I didn't want her to leave me too.

A few minutes later, I calm down thanks to my sister who hasn't stopped comforting me. I'm sure my eyes are all red and puffy.

The door opens and a doctor comes in looking at us sadly.

"Are you Elisa and Emily Johnson?"

he asked us.

Elisa and I nodded.

"How are you doing ?" he asked us

"Good." I answered him

"Doctor, do you know what happened?

Why is she in a coma?"

asked my sister

The doctor frowns and looks at us one by one.

"Your parents didn't tell you?"

My parents ?! What did those assholes do again?!

"Say what ?" Asked my sister who frowned slightly.

"Well, according to your mother..."

He can't finish his sentence as my parents come into the room and glare at me as usual.

Whore ! I'm going to kick those assholes in the face!

"Ah! Lucky you're here."

The doctor addressed my parents. "Your children would like an explanation regarding the Madame Maria incident. I leave you."

When the doctor leaves, Elisa goes straight to the interrogation. She thinks she's in a detective series that one!

"So are you going to tell me what happened?"

My father nervously played with his fingers while my mother stared impassively at us.

"Your grandmother came to visit us and we talked. Then she wanted to leave but, seeing that she was tired, I suggested that she go and rest in the guest room, she accepted. When 'she went up, everything was going well but she got sick and fell from the stairs.

Why did Grandma go to see my parents? And why didn't you tell me?

"Why did she come to visit you?" asked my sister

"We had to talk about something."

Answered my mother

"And of what?" Asked Elisa

"Something you don't need to know!" Coldly replied my father who had been silent until then.

My parents then tell us to leave them alone with grandma. I was against it at first but Elisa insisted for several minutes to leave and I gave in because I was really tired.

However, I had a bad feeling. As if something bad was going to happen, but I didn't really pay attention.

Elisa and I are going back to the villa, I really wasn't hungry. Knowing that my beloved grandma is in a coma is killing my appetite.

I decide to take a shower to relax. As the drops of water ran down my body, I let out my tears.

But what is this shitty life?!

I cry for several minutes before leaving the bathroom and putting on my pajamas.

I go down to join my sister who was in the living room. She had a blank stare.

I sit down next to her and we remain without speaking for long minutes.

"Honestly Emy, I don't believe this so-called discomfort at all." she told me

"Wha-what?

- I really do not believe in this story of discomfort. Think!

Even if I don't know why grandma went to visit them, she would never have agreed to sleep at their house. It's weird.

- Yeah, you're right. I didn't believe this story either.

-When grandma wakes up, she will be asked to..."

My sister was cut off by the ringing of the telephone. She gets up and picks up.

"Yes hello ?

-.....

-NOPE !! NOPE !"

She starts screaming and crying at the same time, I run up to her and ask what was going on.

"She's dead! She's dead Emily!"

- No...not her.

-Yes, grandma is dead!"

I think my heart is going to give out.

No granny! Not you !

A week has passed without her.

A week that I no longer laughed. A week that I stayed in my room crying. A week that I ignored my sister who did everything to get me out. I couldn't believe she left us. I couldn't accept it. I didn't want to accept it.

On the day of his funeral, several people were present, including my parents who kept saying bad things about me to the other people present. My parents, especially my mother, were not happy when they learned that Grandma's inheritance belonged to me and my sister. Frankly, they really thought they were going to have something?!

My door opens and reveals my sister, her arms crossed and her gaze stern.

"Emily! You're going to take a shower right now and get out of that damn room!"

She ordered me in a stern voice

I'm a little shocked because she had never spoken to me in that tone. Seeing that I do not move an inch, she approaches me, takes me by the arm and pulls me to the bathroom.

"Elisa the fuck! I don't...

-Enough!" she yelled. "You're going to shut your mouth and wash up because you smell really bad! Whore ! You smell worse than a trash can!"

I take a breath and go take a shower. She was right. I did not smell the rose, it's been a week since I showered, moreover, I really had the slab.

When my shower is over, I walk out of my room and see clothes on my bed.

I take them and get dressed before going down to the kitchen where Elisa was preparing breakfast. I love my sister so much!

When she sees me, she smiles at me and I can see in her eyes that she was happy to finally see me on my feet.

"How are you little sister?" She asked me

"It's better." I say as I sit down at the table

She had really prepared everything for me. There were pancakes, pain au chocolat, eggs...

I help myself and eat or rather devour. I was really hungry!

My sister laughs lightly.

"Go slowly." She says

"Shut up."

She picked up her phone and typed on it. When she puts it down, she looks at me for long seconds. This look that means, "I have something to tell you".

"Well go ahead tell me, what do you want to tell me?" I asked her as I continued to eat.

"Uh…how should I put it? Someone kept coming to my house asking how you were doing."

I'm a little surprised because apart from her and my grandmother, no one cared about me.

"Ah, and who is it?

- Well Andrew."

I spit out the food which goes on his face. I remember the scene where grandma had spat her water on the other witch and without being able to stop myself, I burst out laughing.

Elisa glares at me which makes me laugh even more. She's going to wash her face while I continued to laugh at her.

She comes back a few minutes later, looking at me askance.

"Why did you spit on me?! I'm not a damn trash!" She exclaimed as I laughed again.

She rolls her eyes and sits across from me, arms crossed over her chest waiting for me to calm down.

"It's good, are you finished?" She asks me, annoyed

"Yeah.

-So I was saying, André came here to see you but since you didn't want to leave your damn room, I told him to come back next time when you feel better. He told me that when this is the case, you must meet at this address." She said, handing me a small paper

"But how...

-Do not worry. I already texted her this morning and I'm going to drop you off."

She reassured me

"Do you know why he wants to see me?

-Yes. I only know it's about Leo but he didn't tell me more.

-Oh.

-Besides, do you know why he hates Leo so much?

-Yeah. He stole André's sister's jewelry.

-What ?! But he's a big jester your ex!

-Yeah. And I'm so ashamed to have fallen in love with such an idiot!"

Her phone rings and she smirks at me as I raise an eyebrow.

"Hi Andrew!"

Andrew?!

"-....

-Yes I'm dong well.

-....

- Yes, don't worry, she's fine. Besides, she would like to talk to you."

The bitch!

"Take." She said to me as she handed her phone with a victorious smile on her face.

I grab the phone violently, staring at her.

"Y..yes.

"Emily, it's so good to hear from you."

Damn I missed her deep voice so much.

"How are you Andrew?

-I'm very well thank you. I learned what had happened, all my condolences.

-Thanks very much.

-You're welcome Emily. I really want to see you, well if you're not busy, can you come...

"Yes, I'll come." I cut him off.

"It's perfect. See you later princess."

Oh my God ! He called me princess.

"See you later Andre."

I hang up and hand the phone to my sister who was looking at me, looking happy.

“I was sure! My little sister is in love!

"B..but what are you talking about?" I stammered.

"Oh my god! Am I dreaming or are you blushing?"

Ashamed, I get up and walk into the living room as my sister laughs at me.

Damn that's a pain in the ass!

***

Elisa drops me off at the park and leaves because she had something important to do. I sit on a bench while waiting for André.

The latter arrives a few minutes later and gives me his best smile when he sees me. It is still so beautiful!

"Hello Emily." He said kissing my forehead

"Hello."

He sat down next to me.

"How are you ?

-I am quite good and you ?

-I'm doing well thanks. I wanted to see you because I need your help.

- From my help? To do what ?

"Well, do you know that Leo stole my sister's jewels?" I nodded. "Well, I made copies of the jewels and I would like you to recover them and put the copies in place of the real ones. .

-What ? But it's a joke I hope? How do you expect me to get into his house? I'm not his wife anymore and if he sees me taking his jewelry, he'll call the police and I'll go back to jail!

-I knew you wouldn't accept but I'm sure you'll change your mind.

-Oh really ? And why ?

-I'm not sure but I think the murderer of Paulina, your ex-sister-in-law, may be in your ex-husband's house.

-W...what? And who is it ?

-Melina."

I burst out laughing but I stopped immediately when I saw André's serious gaze.

"You're not serious ?!

-Very serious.

- But you fell on your head André?! I know that woman is a big bitch but I don't think she can kill anyone!

-Wait, wait." He said staring at me. "Don't tell me you're defending this woman who is supposed to be your enemy?!

-What ?! But it's not in your head or what?! I'm not defending her! It's just, I don't think she can do such a thing that's all! And you don't even have any proof!

-Yes, I have no proof, so what?! You are completely blind Emily! You don't remember what you said to me?! You told me that it was Melina who asked you to go get Paulina, then you found her dead in your room and as luck would have it, she comes and sees you and the lifeless body of your ex -sister-in-law and go tell everyone you killed him. Don't you find that sleazy?!"

He is right. That day, she had insisted that I go get Paulina when I was busy. But why hadn't I thought of that before?!

"You may be right André. But, if it's really Melina, why kill her?

"Maybe Paulina discovered something she never should have known."

Something she should never have known?! But yes ! I smack my forehead with my hand. That was exactly what Joseph Mills had told Elisa a few days before her death.

"Why am I stupid?!" I say to myself

"What's the matter ?" Andrew asked me

"In fact, a few days before Paulina died, she had told my sister that if anything bad happened to her, Elisa had to go to New York to see a certain Mike Stevens and that's what she did. But when she got to his house he was covered in blood, according to my sister he was stabbed. He wasn't going to survive so he told my sister to visit Joseph Mills before he left. to die. My sister then went to see him, but he knew very little. He had said that Paulina had discovered something that she should never have known, but he did not know what it was. He just say that someone in our circle killed Paulina and...

-And ?

-And that person also wants to kill me and I think that person is Melina.

- The bitch!

- But there is also something else. My sister told me that before Joseph died, he said a name.

-Which ?

-Sofia Collins, but I don't know her. His name means nothing to me. Grandma said she'd heard that name somewhere before.

-Hmm. I will research her.

-Elisa has already researched this Sofia and there was nothing interesting.

-Perhaps she didn't do her research well, otherwise this Joseph wouldn't have said her name. Surely there must be something about this woman.

-You're right.

-I'm always right.

-Are u ankles Fine ?

-Idiot !"

I pretend to be upset, which also makes him laugh. Her laugh is so sexy.

"Well stop laughing now. We need to talk about the plan.

-What plan?

- But are you stupid or what?! The plan to get your sister's jewelry back"

Did I get carried away

"Oh, calm down!

-How am I going to get into his house without him noticing me?

"Actually, Leo is looking for a housekeeper and..."

He nervously scratches the back of his neck.

No don't tell me that's what I think?!

"Wait, you're not going to tell me that I'm going to have to be his cleaning lady anyway.

-Yes it is.

- But are you completely crazy?! A maid ?! Do you want me to work at his house as a cleaning lady?!"

I screamed

"Yes." he said calmly

"No! I don't want to! Damn! You remind me of my sister with your rotten plan!

- Hey! It's not a rotten plan." He sighed before continuing. "Otherwise you can be a gardener."

"Gardener is worse.

- Emily please. I really want to get back the jewels that belong to my sister." He begged me, giving me sweet eyes

I laugh lightly.

"You're cute like that, you know?

-Of course I know. So ? Do you accept or not?"

I breathe before accepting.

"Okay, but I'd rather be a cleaner than a gardener.

-That works.

-But André, how am I going to be able to work as a cleaning lady? Leo is not going to accept if he sees me, Emily, his ex-wife.

-Don't worry about that, I have everything planned. I created a fake identity for you.

When you work with him, your name will be Monica Bell."

I nod my head and as I'm about to say something to him, a female voice stops me.

"Andre!"

A dark-haired woman, very elegant and very beautiful approaches us, finally André more precisely.

"Oh no not her." He whispered massaging his temples.

"Hi Andrew!" she said excitedly

"Hi Natasha." he retorted

curtly

“Friendly reception.

-I said hello to you, can you leave now, can't you?

I wonder who this girl is and why is André getting angry? Whore !

I hope it's not one of his sex plans anyway?!

Besides, the brunette turns her head towards me and when I expected her to stare at me and attack me, she looks at me intensely, which makes me uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. She had the same look as a pervert!

"Hello, are you?" She asked me in a honeyed voice Huh?!

"Emily.

- I'm Natasha. Pleased to meet you. You are really lovely and...

-Okay, that's enough now! Leave my wife alone!" Cut André who had his jaw clenched.

I look at André with wide eyes. Did he really just say I'm his wife?!

Ooooooh my god!!!!

"Oh. Are you together? But that's great! How about a threesome?" she asked us, excited

I nearly choked on my saliva. She is serious ?!

"Get off Natasha!" Cried Andre

"Oh it's ok. At least I would have tried. Goodbye André." She said dryly. "See you soon Emily."

She winks at me and turns on her heels.

What just happened?!

"She's really weird, that girl.

-Yeah.

- Where did you know him from?

- She's a friend of my sister. She keeps saying she's bisexual, but I don't believe it. I think she's a lesbian because I've never seen her hang out with a guy and besides she kept stealing my girlfriends from me when I was young and the worst part is she managed to put them in his bed.

- She stole your girlfriends?

He nervously scratches the back of his neck and nods his head. I do my best not to burst out laughing, and I think André notices it since he glares at me. I burst out laughing, clapping my hands.

Oh the poor thing !

How can a bombshell like André get her friends stung?!

I then calm down when I see André's hard gaze.

"It's okay, are you done fucking with me?!

- Yeah, but it's weird that she managed to steal your girlfriends.

"Oh but don't worry, she couldn't get you." He said winking at me.

"How come she couldn't get me?

-Don't tell me you didn't notice anything? She was hitting on you Emily, that's why I lost my temper.

-WHAT ?!"

Oh my God ! I just got hit on by a girl and I didn't even notice!

Andre laughs lightly.

"You really are amazing as a girl."

André takes me home and I had to quickly get out of the car to avoid jumping on him. He is going to kill me ! I constantly have to control myself in order to avoid kissing her wildly.

I go into the villa and see Elisa on the armchair, concentrating on her series.

I clear my throat so she realizes I'm there. She turns her head and as soon as she sees me, she jumps up and rushes towards me.

"So? What did you talk about?

-Well, I have to work as a cleaner at Leo's."

I thought his eyes were going to pop out of their sockets they were so wide open.

"What?! Leo your ex?!" she exclaimed.

"Is this a joke?"

I tell him everything André told me, including the fact that he suspects Melina of being Paulina's murderer.

"I'll be honest with you. You know, I too suspected Melina of killing Paulina, but I didn't want to accuse her without proof." She tells me seriously

"Really? And why did you suspect her?

-Well, Paulina really hated Melina. She was suspicious of her because she thought she was weird.

-Really ? I always thought Paulina loved Melina, I didn't know she hated her.

- Well now you know. Anyway, regarding André's plan, are you sure it's going to work? " she asked me slightly worried.

"Of course, I trust André."

I smile without knowing why.

"Wow! I know someone who's in love." Said my sister looking at me with a smirk

"What?! Anything. I really don't see what you're talking about." I stuttered avoiding his gaze.

"Yeah, yeah. So tell me, did you fuck?" She asked me with that stupid smile plastered on her face.

"Elisa!"

She starts to laugh while I try to hide my cheeks which must have the same color as that of a tomato. Arrrr!!

"Okay, are you done?

"Yeah, but you should have seen your face."

I glare at her which made her laugh, but she is interrupted by the ringing of the phone. She goes to the chair, takes her phone and picks up.

"Hello ?

-...

"Yeah, she's right there."

She comes over to me and hands me the phone.

"Here, it's your prince charming!" Did she say a little too loud or maybe she did it on purpose

"Shut up !" I tell her staring at her

She laughs lightly.

"Hello ?

-So I'm your prince charming? Interesting."

The blush rises to my cheeks. Whore ! All because of this idiot who serves as my sister!

"E...uh it...it's a misunderstanding.

-Hmm. Yeah, that's it.

-Why did you call?

-It's about the plan.

- Well, what's the plan? There is a problem ?

- No, finally, yes. You agreed to play cleaning lady at Leo's house, and in fact, the interview is tomorrow at 9:00, so you're going to have to go to his house.

-What ?! And how am I going to do it? It's too early ! I don't know if I'll make it!

-Don't worry, I'll come to your house tomorrow. Don't worry, everything will be fine.

- Yeah.

-You will succeed.

-Easier said than done !

"I trust you Emily."

I can't help smiling. This man is going to drive me crazy.

"Okay. Thank you Andre.

- But you're welcome, princess."

I hang up and smile stupidly. He called me princess!! Oh my God !

"So? Why did he call?

-Well, I have to go to Leo's tomorrow for the interview, well I don't know what.

-Tomorrow ?!

-Yeah. And I don't know if I'll be able to do it. It's fucking stressing me out!"

***

The next day

I hadn't really slept that night. I was really too panicked. The idea of ​​seeing Leo, Melina and the house I had lived in before, stresses me out a lot.

I prepare myself before going down and I notice that my sister was not there, I think she is still sleeping this groundhog!

Suddenly, the doorbell rings. I go to open and see André accompanied by a man, well, a womanish man more precisely.

"Uh...hello.

-Hello Emily. may I come in

-Sure."

I let them in and laughed discreetly when I saw the man who accompanied André, who was admiring the villa, his mouth wide open.

"Andrew, who is it?

-Oh, it's Taylor."

Taylor looks at me and smiles.

"Hello Emily.

-Hello."

It's only now that I notice that he was holding two briefcases in his hands. I wonder what's inside.

Oh my God ! What if they were tools of torture?! Guns ?!

"Emily? Are you okay?" Asked André, looking worried

"Uhh..o...yes. What's inside?" I say pointing to the two briefcases

"Tools." Calmly replied Andrew

"W-what?"

I thought my legs were going to give out. He said tools! But tools of what?!

"It's for the makeover." Taylor tells me

"The makeover?

-Yes ! You're not going to show up like that at Leo's, he's going to recognize you." Said André. "And you should hurry up so you don't arrive late.

"At work !" Taylor exclaimed. "Can you fetch me a chair please?" he asked me

I go into the kitchen, grab a chair and go back to them. Taylor sets down her briefcases and makes me sit in the chair.

When he opens the two briefcases, I see wigs, makeup...

It's not true ! I hope he won't go overboard with the make-up, I don't want to look like a can of paint!

***

"And There you go !" Said Taylor with a big smile

He hands me a mirror and I choke on my saliva. He had put a blonde wig on me. I never thought this color would suit me. He then hands me contact lenses and tells me to put them on. They were blue in color. I was unrecognizable!

I heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Damn Elisa! My sister stops when she sees us and stares at us.

"André? But what are you doing here? And who are these two people?" She said pointing at Taylor and me.

Is this a joke?! She didn't even recognize me!

"Where's Emily?" she asked

"Are you kidding me Elisa?! I'm here!"

My sister looks me up and down. I'm sure she doesn't believe me. I had to show her my birthmark on her shoulder for her to believe me.

"E…Emily? Is that really you?" I nodded. "Holy shit! I didn't even recognize you!

"Well, you did a good job Taylor, even her sister doesn't recognize her." Andre said.

"I'm a professional, that's all."

André approaches me and looks at my shoulder where my birthmark was. And shit! I'm going to have to put makeup on it.

"Taylor, can you hide that birthmark?" I asked him

"Sure."

He walks over and puts on some foundation.

"It's perfect !" Andre exclaimed.

"I called a friend of mine to drop you off at Leo's. I can't go with you, it's too risky." He told me

"OK.

-I trust you Emily. You'll get there." He said before kissing me while I stood still like a statue.

"Hmm Hmmm. You're not alone here! There are bedrooms up there if you want to make babies!" Said my stupid sister while I blushed.

You idiot!! I'm going to kill that one!

Andre pulls his soft lips from mine and smiles at me.

"You're cute when you blush." He said to me, laughing slightly

***

When the driver stops near my ex-fiancé's house, I feel my stress rising. Nope ! I certainly wasn't going to give up. Not after the delicious kiss André gave me.

Breathe. Inspired. Breathe. Inspired.

I walk to my "old house" and ring the bell. I hear footsteps heading for the door and when it opens I feel my hatred and anger shoot up.

In front of me was the one who destroyed my life, the one I absolutely did not want to see.

Melina......

Melina was there in front of me, wearing a red nightie that looked suspiciously like mine, the one Leo had given me on Valentine's Day.

I feel hatred and anger rising in me. What if it was MY babydoll she was wearing? What if he had given it to her?

I force myself to smile and contain my anger. Above all, I must not make a mistake from the first day.

I clear my throat as that bitch continues to stare at me, eyeing me up and down.

"That is why ?!" She asked me aggressively

"Hello, my name is Monica Bell and I'm here...

-Sorry, but we don't recruit whores here. Goodbye." She cut me off before slamming the door in my face.

She didn't dare?!

A SORT OF...

ARRRRG!

I clench my fists tightly and feel my fingernails dig into my flesh. I must calm down at all costs, otherwise I risk breaking down this door and smashing the other idiot!

I ring again, trying not to break the doorbell. The door opens...onto Leo.

I freeze when I see him. His face was close to mine, I also notice he had a stubble. I do remember he hated beards, so why...

I'm stupid ! He had to leave her, for Melina.

He snaps me out of my thoughts, clearing his throat.

"Hello, are you?" He asked me in a deep voice that had an effect on me before

"Hello, I'm Monica Bell, I'm here for the housekeeper position." I say smiling at him falsely

Judging by his furrowed brows, I'm sure he forgot about the interview. This cretin is so far away that he forgets everything.

"Oh !" He exclaimed, slapping his forehead. "I completely forgot there was an interview today."

I was sure of it !

"Come in." He said pushing himself a little

I walk into "my old house" and see Melina in front of me, her arms crossed and her eyes hard.

Dirty plague! You're going to regret slamming the door in my face!

"Melina, why didn't you let her in?" He reproached his "tender wife"

"Why do you want me to let a whore into my house? I don't want a whore in my house!" Answered the latter

Dirty bitch! How dare she call me a whore?!

Calm down Emily!

"Stop the bullshit Melina! She's just the new housekeeper."

whispered Leo

The other idiot suddenly starts laughing like crazy. What's so funny about what he just said frankly?!

"How stupid I am. I should have guessed from the clothes she's wearing, that she's shit."

I clench my fists with all my might.

Calm down Emily! Calm down Emily!

Leo huffs and tells me to ignore him. Of course I'm going to ignore your "tender and kind woman", you idiot! But this is the first and last time it happens!

He then showed me around the house, the kitchen, the living room and the bedrooms, but he forbade me to enter his office. Well yes of course! It hides a lot of things inside! And I'm sure Jenna's jewelry is in there. I'll have to find a way to get in there without him seeing me.

"I'll give you a trial week, okay?

-Yes.

-You will start with the bedrooms because they are really dirty. Don't worry there are only seven. And if you're done, you'll take care of dinner. Tomorrow you will clean the living room and the kitchen, are you ok?"

I nod as he turns on my heels, leaving me alone in the hallway. He really doesn't care about me! He dares to tell me that I only have to clean SEVEN rooms! He thought I was a robot or what?! I hope I can finish everything he said in one day, because I hate doing housework and cleaning seven rooms, it's not won!

I started first with the guest rooms, there were six of them. SIX !

I open a door at random, and I remain frozen seeing a little girl of around five years old who was playing with dolls, alone. But who is she?

"Hello."

The little one turns around and smiles at me when she sees me. She is really beautiful. Her curly brown hair cascaded down her back and her beautiful green eyes mesmerized me.

"Hello!

"What's your name princess?" I asked her as I sat down next to her.

"Maya.

-It's a very beautiful name. Want me to play with you?

-Yes !

"Surely not!" growled a female voice behind my back. Melina.

-But...

-There is no "but ! You do your job and leave my daughter alone!"

Her daughter ?!

"O…okay." I nodded reluctantly.

When Melina leaves, I kiss Maya's forehead.

"I promise you we'll play another day, okay? I have to clean up."

So Maya is the daughter of Leo and Melina? But yes! I remember the day they argued in the parking lot. Leo blamed Melina for not paying attention to Maya and if I'm not mistaken, the latter got hurt! When I think my ex-fiancé had a baby with another!

***

When I've finished cleaning the six rooms, which took me a long time, I go to the couple's room, that of Melina and Eric. When I think that before, I slept in this bed and in the arms of the other moron. yuck! It disgusts me ! It fucking disgusts me! I wonder why I fell in love with this man.

Today, all I feel for him is hate and disgust!

I clean the room quickly and when I'm done, I look at the clock. whore! It's already 6 p.m.?! Don't tell me it took me hours to clean everything anyway?! I have to cook dinner!

Elisa was pacing, I knew she was worried about her sister, but she was pissing me off by going around in circles instead of putting her ass on the chair and fucking waiting!

"Are you going to stop going around in circles?! You're going to drive me crazy." I growl staring at her

"You! Shut up! Damn, why did my sister have to go to his house?! You couldn't go there yourself?! I don't know, you dress up and go to Leo's!

- Do you want to laugh?! Can you imagine me as a maid cleaning the house of my worst enemy?!"

Elisa begins to think when suddenly she bursts out laughing.

But she is crazy this girl!

"What are you doing?!

-I was imagining you in a wig with a maid's uniform, damn it!

It's really awful!"

She said before bursting out laughing again, clapping her hands.

I breathe, massaging my temples. Above all, I mustn't get mad at her.

Breathe. Inspired. Breathe. Inspired.

"It's okay, I think you've made fun of me enough, Elisa." I said coldly staring at her

The latter stops short when she sees my hard gaze.

"Sorry, but that was really funny. You in a wig and..."

I glare at her so that she doesn't continue her sentence. She stops immediately and apologizes.

"You are like your sister." I said

-Oh good ? Why?

"You're both weird."

She starts laughing again for some reason.

But she is not possible this girl!

*Emily*

*A week later*

They've been treating me like a robot for a week, especially Melina, whom I nicknamed "the witch", who makes me do several things at the same time. But she can't move a little that one?! As for Maya, I did my best to spend more time with her. She is adorable this girl! The complete opposite of his mother!

"Monica!" called me the witch

I run to the living room. She was sitting on the sofa, a glass of wine in her hand and quietly watching television.

I clear my throat.

"Yes Madam."

She turns around and gives a hypocritical smile.

"There is a stain here." She said pointing to the floor which was clean

She has a serious problem there!

"But there is no task ma'am."

She stares at me with that silly smile plastered on her face and "accidentally" drops her glass which smashes on the floor.

A sort of...

"Oops, sorry." She apologized falsely

I try to restrain myself, not to freak out and give him a good beating.

Control yourself Emily!

"It...it's nothing ma'am." I told him trying to calm the anger that was rising in me

I take a shovel to pick up the pieces of glass that I throw in the trash and then I take a mop to clean the wine.

She's going to pay me dearly!

The phone rings and the witch picks up as I head into the kitchen to cook dinner.

"Monica?" called me the witch

She walks into the kitchen looking at me

haughtily.

"Yes Madam.

-Tonight, I have guests and I want everything to be perfect. I will not tolerate any mistakes on your part, is that clear?!

-Yes Madam.

-I have to go and when I come back, I want everything to be ready, everything to be perfect! Did I make myself understood?

-Yes Madam."

She leaves and I take advantage that she has her back turned to give her a nice middle finger.

When I hear the front door slam, I go to the window to make sure she's really gone to enter Leo's office. I had also noticed that he was often absent. I don't even know where he is at this hour. Shorts.

I walk to his office and enter. I then look for the jewels but I found them nowhere. Damn it, but where did he put them?! I then look in the drawers and opening the last one, I freeze when I see a photo of a young girl. But who could it be?! And why did Leo have a picture of a girl hidden in his drawer? Is he cheating on Melina? Shorts! I bring the photo back into the drawer and close it. I must find these damn jewels at all costs! But where could he have put them?! I have to think about it !

Safe ! But yes!

I rush to the safe and am about to open it when I hear the screeching of tires.

Mess ! Don't tell me the witch is already home?!

I run as fast as I can to the kitchen. I catch my breath and pretend to cut a carrot.

I hear the front door slam and footsteps coming towards the kitchen.

"Oh! Monica, have you seen Melina?"

Leo asked me

Ah! It was he who came back, me who thought the other witch had arrived!

“No. Sir. Why do you need anything?

"No, I don't need anything." He said before turning on his heels.

That's it ! Go away !

I cook dinner and when it's all over I hurry to put the lids on. Everything had to be perfect! As the witch who left I don't know where told me!

I hear Leo's footsteps on the stairs. When he arrives in the kitchen, he was surprised at the decoration I had made.

Looks like he's not aware that any guests will be there tonight.

"Uhh..Wow!

But... but why did you prepare all this?

-Well, Mrs. Melina told me that there will be guests tonight and she wanted everything to be perfect.

"Guests?" He asked me, looking lost. "Do you know who the guests are?

- No, she didn't tell me.

-Hmm. Otherwise, you did a great job Monica! You are officially the new housekeeper!

"Really?" I said pretending to be happy. "Thank you, thank you very much sir.

-Don't thank me Monica. You have done a very good job this week and you deserve that I recruit you!"

A screech of tires is heard.

Argh! The witch is back!

I hear the front door slam and the sound of heels heading towards the kitchen. When the witch arrives, she observes my decoration.

"It's fine, everything is spot on as far as I can see."

she said haughtily.

"Oh my darling you are there!" exclaimed Leo kissing him while I winced in disgust.

When they separate, I force myself to smile.

"Glad you made it in time my dear." Said my stupid ex. "I have news to tell you.

-Oh yeah? And what is it ?

-Monica is officially the new housekeeper of the house.

-Ah." Answered the other idiot, staring at me. "Well, I have to go get ready for the guests." She said before turning on her heels.

Leo looks at me with his silly smile.

"Don't worry. Actually, Melina loves you a lot but don't show it. I'll go talk to her." He said to me before joining her upstairs

He really took me for an idiot. I know perfectly well that Melina hates me and he dares to tell me otherwise?

I go to the bathroom to freshen up my face when the doorbell rings.

"Monica! Go greet the guests!" cried the witch

I walk to the door and open it to welcome the guests. I thought I was choking when I saw their faces.

I don't know what shocks me the most. The fact that my mother is invited or the fact that she is in the arm of the judge who sentenced me to five years in prison for the murder of Paulina?

"Hello." They say at the same time as I felt my legs shaking
