The Housemaid 2
As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can't risk losing this job - not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe...
It's hard to find an employer who doesn't ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen.
I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It's almost perfect. But I still haven't met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom.
I'm sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I'm doing laundry. And one day I can't help but knock on the door.
When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything.... That's when I make a promise. After all, I've done this before.
I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. Douglas Garrick has done wrong.
He is going to pay. It's simply a question of how far I'm willing to go....
