As | stared at the broken pieces of my mother’s music box scattered across the floor, something insnapped.
| didn’t even know my mother. She had died when | was a baby.
And that music box was the only possession of hers that | had-the only link to my mother | would ever get.
And now it was broken.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” | shouted at Sarah, leaping to my feet. “I told you not to touch it!”
Sarah’s eyes widened. “I'm so sorry, Luna. It was an accident-"
“An accident? You deliberately ignoredwhen told you to leave it alone!” | was shaking with rage, my hands
clenched into fists at my sides. “That was my mother’s music box. The only thing | had left of her, and you
destroyed it!
“Luna, it's just a silly old-"
“Get out!” | screamed, not even wanting to hear the rest. “Get out of my room right now!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSarah didn’t move, which was a dangerous decision on her part. | wanted to rip into her, wanted to throw her
against the wall with what little strength | had left. Disrespectingwas one thing, but she'd destroyed the one
precious thing I had left, the one connection to my mother who'd died when I was just an infant.
“Luna Ella,” Gabriel's sharp voice cut through my shouting as he appeared in the doorway.” What's going on
here?”
“Your precious maid just destroyed my mother’s music box,” | said, whirling to glare at him. “ After | specifically
told her not to touch it.”
Gabriel's eyes flicked to the broken pieces on the floor, then back to me. “Accidents happen. There's no need to
scream at the staff. It's just a toy.”
“It’s not just a toy. And it wasn’t an accident. She did it on purpose.”
“That's a serious accusation,” Gabriel said coolly “Do you have proof?”
Before | could answer, heavy footsteps in the hallway announced Alexander's arrival. He stepped into the room,
taking in the scenestanding there shaking with fury, Sarah now cowering by the vanity, Gabriel with his
arms folded, and the broken music box on the floor.

“What's all the shouting about?” Alexander asked.
My anger found a new target. | spun toward him, pointing at Sarah. “Your maid destroyed my mother’s music
box. The one thing | had left of her.”
Alexander’s eyes moved to the broken pieces, then back to me. “I see.”
“I want her fired,” | said flatly. “She’s been nothing but disrespectful since she started working here, and now
she’s destroyed something irreplaceable.”
“Luna,” Sarah spoke up, her voice trembling now like a scared kitten when | knew fully well she was full of shit. “I
swear it was an accident. | was just trying to clean, like you askedto. You've been so... difficult lately. Always
yelling at me, always finding fault with everything | do.”
My mouth fell open. “That's not-"
“It's true,” Gabriel interrupted. “I've heard Luna Ella raising her voice at Sarah multiple times over the past few
days. The poor girl has been doing her best under very trying circumstances.”
| stared at Gabriel in disbelief. “She spilled hot soup ondeliberately. She's been rude and insubordinate from
the moment she walked into this house.”
“I've been nothing but respectful,” Sarah said, big, fat crocodile tears now streaming down her face. “I know
Luna Ella doesn’t like me, but I've tried so hard to please her. | never meant for this to happen.”
| just looked at Alexander, waiting for him to say something. Waiting for him to take my side, to see through
Sarah's obvious act. But he just stood there, his expression unreadable, not saying a word.
“Well?” | demanded. “Aren’t you going to do anything?”
Alexander's green eyes met mine. “I'll look into it.”
That was it. That was all he was going to say. He wasn’t going to fire her, wasn’t going to defend me, wasn’t
going to do a damn thing.
In the span of an instant, the fury inside ofcrystallized into something cold and hard. | was done. Done with
this house, done with these people, done with pretending that any of this mattered.
