The next day, Naomi rose before dawn. She swept the driveway, polished the glass doors, wiped dust from carved tables. In the kitchen, she worked beside Mama Ronke, the family cook, when Rose demanded lemon water. Naomi sliced carefully, balanced the tray, and carried it upstairs. Rose took a sip, smirked, and said, “You’re lucky. You…
On her first morning, Naomi tied a scarf over her hair and began mopping the wide marble floor. The house was still, until the sharp rhythm of heels echoed down the staircase. Madame Rose descended in a silk robe, her presence filling the room. Without a word, she tipped Naomi’s bucket across the floor. Water…
