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.
