About
I never expected to meet a billionaire or a genius whilst skimming the ‘Help Wanted’ ads. Cinder Slade was just that; popular magazines dubbed him the “Solar King,” when he reinvented solar energy for a billion-dollar price tag. I certainly never expected him to actually hire me--an overweight, minimum wage maid with an abrasive honest streak--either, but... there were a lot of things I didn’t expect about Cinder Slade.
Mr. Slade had everything; a beautiful mansion, paid trips to Europe, a company at his feet and the most amazing sports car I’d ever seen. No one could understand why he was falling apart; not eating, not sleeping, refusing to see clients and coworkers. No one could understand his unidentifiable paranoia and capricious rage, a strange dark side clawing at a cage of lies. Beneath the perfection, no one could see that Mr. Slade was a prisoner of his own mind.
I’d never really done anything meaningful with my life and I knew it. I’d ruined anything important I could have been a part of. And maybe I couldn’t help him, either. But I had to try.
