Be careful who you welcome into your home. Not every househelp came to serve.

THE HOUSEHELP’S SECRET – Episode 3

That night, Ada couldn’t sleep.

The photo. The initials. The woman’s smile — it was still burning in her mind like a flame that refused to die. She knew the truth was hidden in this house. And now, she was closer than ever to uncovering it.

But she wasn’t the only one awake.
In the master bedroom, Madam Eze sat upright, watching her husband as he scrolled through his phone.

“Why did you freeze when you saw the househelp this morning?” she asked without blinking.
Mr. Eze didn’t look up. “I told you. She just reminded me of someone.”
“Ada?” she pressed. “Or her mother?”

That made him pause. Slowly, he turned to look at his wife. “What are you saying?”
Madam Eze leaned forward. “I saw the way you looked at her. Like you saw a ghost. Don’t lie to me, Chuka.”

He stood and walked to the window, silent.
From the hallway, little Nkem was standing behind the door. Listening. Watching. Her young mind was processing fast.

The next morning, while everyone was still asleep, Nkem snuck into the living room. She went to the bookshelf and started searching for the photo she had seen Ada holding.
It was gone.
Ada had hidden it somewhere else.

But something else caught her eye — an old journal with the name “E.D.” on the cover.
She opened it.
The first page was innocent — business notes, expenses.
But the third page stopped her heart.

> “I told her never to come here again. The child must never know the truth.”

Nkem blinked. What child?
What truth?
Suddenly, she heard footsteps.
Ada was standing behind her.

“You shouldn’t be reading that,” Ada said calmly, but there was something icy in her tone.
Nkem clutched the journal. “Who are you?”
Ada leaned down, her voice low but firm.
“I’m here for answers. And I’ll get them — with or without your help.”

Nkem stared at her. “Are you… are you my sister?”
Ada didn’t reply. She just walked away.
And for the first time in her life, Nkem felt truly afraid — not of Ada, but of the truth.

---

Could Ada really be connected to the family by blood?
What is Mr. Eze hiding?
And why is the journal so important?

Drop your theories in the comments! Episode 4 is where secrets begin to crack wide open.
