Story

The story

Mia's life revolves around Leo, her eight-month-old son, a high-needs baby who cannot bear to be put down. Exhausted and isolated, she has given up her career and watched her marriage to Philip fray, leaning on her best friend Serena, who visits often to help.

Then Mia begins to hear a childish voice in her mind, calling Serena "Mommy" and dismissing Mia as a hired nanny. As Leo grows calm only for Serena, Mia notices how Serena has changed since a long absence during her pregnancy, and a terrible suspicion takes hold.

Determined to learn the truth before acting, Mia hides her doubts and asks Serena to babysit, then quietly collects strands of Serena's hair for a DNA test.

Opening excerpt

【I’ve sacrificed way too much for Mommy to look pretty. Does anyone ever consider my feelings, being held by such a slob every day?】

I shot up, my eyes darting to my son, who was lying beside me, happily sucking on his fist.

Just as I was about to dismiss it as a hallucination brought on by sheer exhaustion, the voice came again.

【What are you looking at? So annoying! If you weren't halfway decent at taking care of me, I would've had Daddy kick you out ages ago!】

I pinched my arm, hard.

The sharp sting of pain was proof: that voice was real.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
