Mariela's POV
I went straight to the grand staircase, and I could hear Chloe ask Archer about me; and I was clenching my fists when my husband told her I was one of the maids. It was ridiculous, but I had no choice but to continue walking while my heart was in too much pain.
I had never felt so alone and disoriented as this in my entire life. And I don't know what to do with regards to my husband. I was walking with my head down because I was so afraid I would come across one of the maids.
And when I rounded a corner to go to my husband's room, I found Melba with my suitcase in her hand, looking at me with worries on her face. And I suddenly felt anxious if what was going on and why she had my luggage.
"Good evening, Ella," she greeted me.
"What are you doing with my suitcase, Melba?" I asked, confused, and she looked at me with guilt on her face.
