Book Description
The thirty-eight years old, beautiful French dentist Mireille is looking for a housemaid. She finds the friendly twenty-seven years old Cameroonian woman Ayossi, who’s staying in France illegally. As Mireille’s living alone in a big house she inherited, she offers Ayossi to live there with her and work as her maid. A little later – seemingly by accident – Mireille meets her new maid’s alleged brother, Johnny Walker. The twenty-nine years old Cameroonian has been in France for a few months now, also without papers. He comes to the house sometimes to visit his alleged sister at work. During these visits, Mireille and Johnny get closer and closer and, in the end, she falls in love with him due to systematic, very subtle and well-planned manipulation. They get married and start living together. Everything seems fine and idyllic – everyone seems happy. But when, two years later, Mireille happily announces to the alleged siblings that she’s pregnant, even though a doctor told her ten years ago that she couldn’t bear children, Ayossi loses control and attacks Johnny in rage: “Pregnancy wasn’t planned, you traitor! You’ve fooled me, and I won’t tolerate that!” Only then does Mireille get to know the truth. Her whole life is turned upside-down. But when Johnny explains everything, apologises to her and confesses that he’s actually fallen in love with her, wants to be with her and is happy about the pregnancy, the situation changes once again: Mireille wants to keep her husband now. But Ayossi wants the same thing: she can’t accept that she’s supposed to lose the man she loves and the opportunity to get French papers after everything she’s been through. Johnny, now with French papers, has to choose between commitment, promise, deal and love – or put on another act.
