The morning light hit the high glass windows of the Dallas estate.
Clara adjusted her apron and took a deep breath before walking inside.
She worked hard every single day to support her younger brother.
The rich family paid well, but the work was very hard.
David Vance was the sole heir to a massive real estate empire.
He was about to marry a woman named Evelyn Vance.
Evelyn came from an old family that was facing financial trouble.
She always acted polite when David was standing right next to her.
Evelyn: Make sure the white flowers look fresh Clara.
Clara: Yes ma'am I will fix them immediately.
Clara nodded her head and kept her gaze fixed on the floor.
She had seen many strange things while cleaning the private guest rooms.
Evelyn often talked quietly on the phone when she thought she was alone.
She sounded sharp and angry whenever David was out of the house.
Clara never said anything because she really needed her job.
Her brother needed money for his expensive medical bills this month.
David was kind to the staff and always gave generous holiday bonuses.
He truly believed that Evelyn loved him for who he was.
The wedding prep was creating lots of stress for all the servants.
David: Is everything ready for the big evening event Clara?
Clara: Yes sir the ballroom is completely ready for guests.
David smiled warmly and walked down the wide grand hallway.
Clara noticed Evelyn watching him with a cold look in her eyes.
It felt like a dark cloud was hanging over the mansion.
Clara went back to cleaning the shiny silver trays in the kitchen.
She heard footsteps coming down the back hallway near the pantry.
Evelyn was talking to a strange man near the rear side exit.
Evelyn: Make sure the small vial is completely untraceable today.
Man: Do not worry nobody will ever find out about it.
Clara froze behind the thick door and held her breath silently.
Her heart beat very fast against her chest in that moment.
She realized something very dangerous was going to happen tonight.
She had to be extremely careful if she wanted to help.
The guests began to arrive in very expensive black fancy cars.
Clara wiped down the table and kept her eyes wide open.
