Chapter 1 - The Strike In The Trophy Room
Inside the grand trophy room of the luxury hacienda, mahogany doorways framed polished marble floors under warm indoor lights.
Camila strode forward with pure venom in her eyes. Her hand swung across the air, landing a brutal slap across Lucía's face. The force knocked the twenty-five-year-old maid down onto her knees against the cold marble floor.
"Get your filthy hands off my mother!" Camila hissed in rage, her deep maroon silk blouse catching the sharp light as her beige trousers rustled.
Lucía knelt on the marble floor, her low bun slightly disheveled. She held her aching jaw with a trembling hand, a faint trickle of blood running down her lip onto her white maid collar.
From her wheelchair, elderly Doña Esperanza reached out her frail hands in utter horror.
Camila turned toward her private security guards with a cold, cruel sneer. "Restrain her now. She’s trying to steal from us."
