The Housemaid

\r\n \"Welcome to the family,\" Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I\'ll soon learn that the Winchesters\' secrets are far more dangerous than my own . . .

\r\n Every day I clean the Winchesters\' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.
\r\n I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew\'s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it\'s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina\'s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
\r\n I only try on one of Nina\'s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it\'s like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it\'s far too late.
\r\n But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don\'t know who I really am.
\r\n They don\'t know what I\'m capable of . . .
