In The Housemaid:\u00a0\u201cWelcome to the family,\u201d 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\u2019ll soon learn that the Winchesters\u2019 secrets are far more dangerous than my own\u2026<\/p>\n
Every day I clean the Winchesters\u2019 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.<\/p>\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\u2019s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it\u2019s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina\u2019s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.<\/p>\n
I only try on one of Nina\u2019s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it\u2019s like. But she soon finds out\u2026 and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it\u2019s far too late.<\/p>\n
But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don\u2019t know who I really am.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t know what I\u2019m capable of\u2026<\/p>\n
