This is the story of how a maid, once shown kindness by her madam, suddenly grew wings and chose to bite the very hand that fed her—claiming she was pregnant by her boss. But when the day of labor finally came, it came with chaos, confusion, and people running helter-skelter.
Benita arrived at the Williams’ gate on a sunny afternoon, exhausted after hours of walking. She had already entered two wrong houses because all the buildings in the estate looked exactly alike. Wiping the sweat from her face, she muttered under her breath.
At last, the gatekeeper opened the gate for her, and she stepped inside quietly, her eyes moving around in admiration. The compound was neat, spacious, and beautifully arranged. Everything about the house spoke of comfort and quiet wealth.
“You must be Benita from the agency, right?” a calm voice said.
Benita turned and saw Mrs. Evelyn standing by the entrance.
“Yes, ma,” she replied respectfully.
“You’re welcome,” Mrs. Evelyn said gently before leading her inside and showing her to her room.
Mrs. Evelyn was a kind-hearted, calm, and soft-spoken woman. She was married to Mr. Williams, a hardworking civil engineer. They had been married for seven years, and their home was peaceful—except on the days Mama Williams visited.
She showed up uninvited like a monthly storm, always with something to say about their childlessness.
