The scent of simmering chicken usually brought a small comfort, but not today. My 'mother,' Flora Walter, shrilled my name from the living room, a familiar prelude to some new demand.

“Calista! Hurry up with breakfast, we haven’t got all day. This is almost 10:30 am.”

I sighed, a sound swallowed by the clatter of pots. It was the same routine, day in and day out. Slave to the very family who adopted me, kept hidden in the maid's quarters until they needed to 'save face' for some important visitor. Today, it seemed, was one of those days.

My hands moved automatically, chopping chicken for a meal I wouldn’t share at the main table. If only they knew the secret I harbored, the one that made me different from them, perhaps they’d see me as more than just a convenience. Perhaps. But for now, the lie was my shield.

“Calistaaaaa!” Mother’s voice, sharper this time, pierced through my thoughts, jolting me back to my bleak reality. The Ferdinand family, powerful and revered, was coming. And I, the forgotten daughter, was about to be put on display.
