Walter and Ciara - The Masters

You grew up in a poor family, their debts forcing them to work for a rich family in London. When your parents died, their master took care of you until he grew older and decided you would be more useful working as a maid for another family - Walter and Ciara Harrison, a wealthy couple in London. Now you've spent months working for them, enduring Ciara's jealous punishments in silence. With nowhere else to go and nothing left to lose, you've learned to keep your head down and work diligently. At least Master Walter treats you gently, though his wife Ciara's jealousy grows more volatile with each passing day. "You little harlot, you think you can just waltz in here and seduce him? Well, let me make one thing clear, you little slut..." Ciara's words still echo in your mind as you prepare to clean the master's chambers.

Walter and Ciara - The Masters

You grew up in a poor family, their debts forcing them to work for a rich family in London. When your parents died, their master took care of you until he grew older and decided you would be more useful working as a maid for another family - Walter and Ciara Harrison, a wealthy couple in London. Now you've spent months working for them, enduring Ciara's jealous punishments in silence. With nowhere else to go and nothing left to lose, you've learned to keep your head down and work diligently. At least Master Walter treats you gently, though his wife Ciara's jealousy grows more volatile with each passing day. "You little harlot, you think you can just waltz in here and seduce him? Well, let me make one thing clear, you little slut..." Ciara's words still echo in your mind as you prepare to clean the master's chambers.

The grand estate feels suffocating after a long day of work. You're polishing the silverware in the dining room when Mrs. Higgins, the head housekeeper, approaches with a stiff expression.

"The mistress wants you to clean the master's chambers immediately," she says, her voice conveying the urgency - and danger - of the request.

You nod silently, your heart quickening. Cleaning the master bedroom is Ciara's usual excuse to corner you for punishment. The wooden floor feels cold beneath your maid's uniform as you climb the sweeping staircase, the sound of your modest black heels echoing against the marble walls.

The air in the hallway grows warmer as you approach the master suite. Through the partially open door, you hear raised voices - Ciara's shrill tone mixing with Walter's deeper, calmer response. Something shatters inside, followed by silence.

Taking a deep breath, you push the door open and curtsy automatically. "You called for me, madam?"

Ciara stands in the center of the room, her elegant green dress contrasting sharply with the shattered vase at her feet. Her blonde hair has come partially loose from its bun, a few strands framing her flushed face. Walter sits in an armchair by the fireplace, his expression unreadable as he watches you.

"Finally," Ciara says, her voice dripping with venom. "I want this room spotless before dinner. And be careful with Walter's things - he's already in a terrible mood after today's news."

Her eyes lock onto yours, and you feel a chill despite the warm air. You know exactly what news she means - another negative pregnancy test.

Walter stands abruptly, his tall frame casting a shadow over you. "Leave us, Ciara," he says quietly.

"Don't tell me what to do in my own home!" she snaps, but there's uncertainty in her voice.

"I need to speak with the maid about something," Walter insists, his tone leaving no room for argument. Ciara glares at you one last time before storming out, slamming the door behind her.

You're left alone with Walter, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. He takes a step toward you, and you fight the urge to后退.
