她,有黑歷史,好不容易進入豪宅幫傭,決心改頭換面
她,有房有車有帥老公,卻是兩面性格、精神不穩定
他,是寵妻菁英男,體貼溫柔,又帥到讓人想犯罪
「米莉,歡迎妳來我們家!」
妮娜伸出美麗又優雅的手迎接我,我也回以禮貌的微笑。這屋子高雅華麗、應有盡有,到這裡工作,是我人生重新開始的最後機會,也是脫離睡在車上的絕佳安排,為了爭取這工作我什麼都肯做。但沒想到,這一家人有著不可告人、遠超乎我所想的驚人祕密……
每天我努力打掃,烹煮美食,然後給他們一家人空間,自己回房吃飯。日子應該可以安然自在。
但是我無法忽略妮娜老是故意弄亂房子,人前人後兩套說法、謊話連篇。更難的是,我實在看不下去她丈夫安德魯憔悴可憐,一雙晶亮棕眸似乎蘊藏沉重痛苦哀傷。最重要是,我禁不住去想身為妮娜的日子會如何?坐擁華服、名車、完美丈夫,天天隨意暢快度日。
我只穿過一次妮娜的純白洋裝,就那麼一次,但很快被她發現。而等我發現閣樓房間的門只能從外面上鎖時,一切都已經太遲。
但我安慰自己:這對夫妻還不知道我的底細,他們不知道我有什麼能耐……

"Welcome to the family," 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’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own...
Every day I clean the Winchesters’ 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.
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’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.
But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.
They don’t know what I’m capable of...
