An Act of Vengeance

Fresh out of grad school with a hefty education degree and crushing student loans.

I tweaked my resume, dropping the master's, just to get a job as a domestic.

My first gig was for the ultra-rich Davis family.

I quickly discovered their nine-year-old daughter, Chloe, wasn't a "terror" but a traumatized child, neglected and abused.

Her parents, especially her mother, ignored her cries for help, then punished her for every slight.

I couldn't stand by.

I protected Chloe, showed her kindness, and slowly, a bond formed.
