?Don?t go in the guest bedroom.? A shadow falls on Douglas Garrick?s face as he touches the door with his fingertips. ?My wife? she?s very ill.? As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can?t risk losing this job?not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe?
It?s hard to find an employer who doesn?t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want.
It?s almost perfect. But I still haven?t met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I?m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I?m doing laundry. And one day I can?t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything?
That?s when I make a promise. After all, I?ve done this before. I can protect Mrs Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe.
Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It?s simply a question of how far I?m willing to go?
