In the glittering halls of the Bello mansion, Kulsum is just a maid silent, obedient, invisible.
At least, that's what everyone believes.
To Adeel, the gentle and influential technologist, she's little more than a servant who moves too slowly.
To his sister, she's an easy target for daily insults.
Only his gentle mother and playful younger brother show her kindness.
But Kulsum is more than she seems.
Behind the plain apron and carefully dull makeup hides a woman with a secret life that could shatter the Bello family's perceptions towards her forever.
As tempers flare and quiet moments turn electric, the walls between master and maid begin to thin.
Some truths are too powerful to stay hidden.
And beneath the uniform lies the one they never saw coming.

Before you go
"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough. I take a silent deep breath and turn, my Niqab swaying and making a whip sound. "It's not like, they really were nothing! Look, I don't have it in me to explain myself. You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so? Well take a look at this." His eyes fill with tears and he takes one of his hands and place it on his mouth. He can't believe that it's actually true. "Okay, Fa'iza." My heart breaks. He never calls me that, ever. "I know something is wrong, and wallahi I'm going to find it out and bring you back to my house in six months. I promise." I feel my heart squeeze knowing his promise can never come to pass, ever. Death is nearing me so nothing can be done. Absolutely nothing. * Ten years of loving, doting over each other and marriage, Fa'iza upped and suddenly said she wanted out of the marriage. After months of persuasion and blackmail, Bello let her go, but before she left, he made a promise. Would he be able to fulfill this promise? STARTED: COMPLETED:Complete

Rebirth: (N): The process of being reincarnated or born again The Dead should stay dead. The Living should stay living. When a loved one dies, grief and sorrow immediately follows afterwards, but the world doesn't stop for your suffering and so...life moves on. However, it can be hard to move on with life when you're a vampire who has had the blame and hatred of seven other siblings dumped on you for a choice that would benefit all; simply because you were the eldest and most responsible. Nonetheless, this story doesn't start with our eldest vampire. Our story begins with a girl with long caramel colored hair, deep chocolate brown eyes, and a smile that seems to brighten the spirits of anyone who sees it; human or not. She was a girl that harbored seventeen years of age and she lived as normal a life as a seventeen year old girl could. Her name? Mayu. Surname? That's a mystery to Mayu herself. Many memories of her parents dying in some horrible accident occurred in the girl's mind yet no matter how much she thought about it, nothing seemed to quite fit right with her. So, never truly knowing her parents fate or current whereabouts, the young woman lived alone in her apartment complex just next door from her best friend Mahiru Shiroto. However, one day Mahiru takes in a small, homeless, black cat and names it Kuro. Mayu begins to take quite a liking to Kuro and, though she felt deeply bad about it, takes Kuro into her own possession as a cute and cuddly roommate of sorts. But how can one take a cat into their possession and not expect anything to go wrong...? Soon, Mayu's simple life will turn into an extravagant, thrilling one within mere hours and she'll suddenly find herself being hunted and aComplete
