"I don't know what made you think I wouldn't find out you and my husband have been fucking!"
"Ex... excuse me?" Balencia stammers, guilt trembling in her voice. "I would never do such a thing, Mrs. Logan. You've been so good to me."
"No. I know exactly what's been happening between you and Jeff..."
Aliyah's lips curl into a chilling smile. She pauses, letting the silence stretch like a knife's edge.
"The real problem is, you don't know what's been happening between you and Jeff."
With that, Aliyah strides out, her black Louboutins echoing like a countdown, each step deliberate. Balencia stands frozen, dread twisting in her chest, Aliyah's cryptic words lingering like a shadow she can't escape.
__________
Balencia thought dropping out of school to become an au pair would change her life. The Logan family wasn't like anyone she'd ever met-they were different. Their wealth and charm masked something darker, something she couldn't put into words.
She knew better than to mix business with pleasure, but Mr. Logan made her break the one rule she swore she'd never cross. Their forbidden affair spiraled into obsession, and when Jeff grew distant, Balencia began to sense the true danger wasn't heartbreak-it was her survival.
Now, she's trapped in a house full of secrets and lies. Can she escape before it's too late? Or has she already lost more than she realizes?
