Chapter 1 The New Girl

The story begins with a tragedy: the housemaid dies in an accident. Her daughter, **Anaya**, is taken in by the rich family. She's quiet, observant, and kind - but treated like a guest, not a daughter.

🌸 Episode 1: The New Girl

They called her "the help's child." But she was about to change their lives forever...

Anaya was only 6 when her world shattered. Her mother, the family's loyal housemaid for over a decade, died in a hit-and-run accident on a rainy Monday morning.

No one came for Anaya. No relatives. No one.

Just one black garbage bag of her mother's belongings and a tear-stained school uniform.

The rich family she'd lived around her whole life didn't know what to do with her.

Mrs. Mehra, the lady of the house, stood quietly at the doorway, arms crossed.

"She can stay for now," she finally said.

"For now" turned into months.

Their own daughter, Rina, 9 years old and spoiled with privilege, wasn't thrilled.

"She's not my sister," Rina would say loudly.

"She's just here until someone takes her away."

But no one ever did.

Anaya didn't cry. Not once. She stayed quiet, folding her clothes neatly, finishing her homework, and helping in the kitchen when no one asked her to.

One day, the cook whispered to the gardener,

"Mark my words... this girl, she's made of something special."

💔 But in a house full of chandeliers and marble floors...

there was no room for a heart like hers.
