The taxi took me to Smith's residence. 

When I reached there I found many cars leaving. Was there a party or something? But it was supposed to be tomorrow, I remember correctly. After paying, I gathered all the courage I had and entered the house.

"Where the heck were you?" Immediately I was received by an angry Leon.

"I was at my mother's house" I reply stepping back, he really looked mad

"Don't you have your phone?" He asks. Oh my God I left it because I was in a hurry

"I'm sorry" was all I managed to say before he started approaching me , fury in his eyes.

"You're sorry!? Do you have any idea of how I felt when they asked me to present my wife?"

"But I thought this whole thing would happen tomorrow!" I don't know even if that is what Emily told me.

"Don't try to defend yourself because you have no excuses. I called you and you didn't pick up," he says storming out of the room.

"Be ready tomorrow we are leaving for the Bahamas islands," he adds. Now is this what we call a welcome party?

"I can't," I say and he immediately turns back. Oh no, that's not good

"What did you say?"

" I mean I am really tired, I can't afford another trip..." Before I could finish he is gripping my shoulders extremely hard

"You are coming with me whether you like it or not woman! Understand?"

"You can't force me!"

"Oh really I see you got some temper from home. Well we will see about that." he winks at me and leaves. And it suddenly hits me Emily has never challenged this man! Whatever, I can't let anyone manipulate me.

Alright the first day is over, congratulations self, now you can go to bed peacefully. I was about to fully close my eyes when I heard a scream from the other room. Oh great now someone is having a nightmare. I get up and follow the scream to find November weeping and before I know it I am at her side soothing her.

Suddenly I am transported back in time when I was still little having nightmares and my dad was always there to comfort me. That is, until he left this world.

I recall that Saturday vividly. Our parents were not around so Emily had forced me to see a horror movie. She enjoyed making fun of me. That night when  I went to sleep I screamed until my dad came running and soothed me. I didn't know that it was the last time I was going to see him or to feel his presence until he was called at work and never came back.

He was killed in a plane crash.

"What are you doing here?" Leon suddenly appeared in the room

"Well can't your eyes see that I am comforting her?"

"Just leave I can manage."

"Whatever," I say.

The next morning I hear movements besides me and when I open my eyes I see a woman standing before me

"You must be Stephanie right? The new maid."

"Yes, but not actually a maid more like a nanny and I'm not new here. I have been living with this family for long until I left two years ago to take care of my husband. And from the looks of it this house has been a disaster since you came," She says eyeing me. What's with this woman? She hates me at first sight!

"Okay wait. Are you insinuating that I caused this?"

"That's coming from your mouth ma'am not mine." Oh she has nerves.... Calm down Emma this won't do you any good, I tell myself. But I am not letting anyone mistreat me in this house or outside.
