Why I broke down in tears – Saudi Arabia maid impregnated by boss narrates ordeal

A Kenyan lady, Faith Wambui, who worked as a maid in Saudi Arabia, has come forward to share her traumatic ordeal of being impregnated by her Saudi Arabian boss.

According to the lady, she embarked on a journey to Saudi Arabia with the assistance of her elder sister.

Adding to her torment, the lady revealed the treacherous actions of her boss’s brother, who cunningly manipulated her vulnerabilities.

He resorted to deceitful tactics, including hiding food from her and exploiting her desperation by offering monetary assistance.

The lady sadly revealed that she was forced to have an affair with him, which led to her becoming pregnant.
