The Billionaires Nurse Lover

chapter 8

I walked through the living room, trying not to seem suspicious, but everyone of the staff that even looked at me made me feel like I did something bad, horrible and unthinkable.

Of course you did, you kissed your boss who is also someones husband by the way.

- But he kissed me first

- It doesn’t matter your'e just like your mother.

- your'e just as bad as everyone said you'd turn out to be.

I stood dead still in the center of the hall, I refuse to be just like my mother was. She was notorious for wrecking marriages and I wasn’t going to follow in her footsteps. I wasn't going to be labeled the town w***e and have my children suffer the backlashes of my affairs. I continued to walk through the hallway but I could still feel Mr. Richfield's warm kisses on my lips and sadly I had to admit that it felt so good and a part of me wanted a little bit more of it.

“Anastasia!”

I looked to my right and there was Mrs Lisa sitting in the kitchen table,with a margarita glass at hand. I walked up to her with a smile on my face, hopefully she didn’t see right through me at all.

“Yes ma’am”

She tapped at the chair next to hers, indicating that I should sit down which I did. For some odd reason the chairs felt icy cold, could it be guild?

“Anastasia I need the truth from you”

The truth? Oh no. Maybe I should just tell her the truth, it was all Mr. Richfields fault.He kissed me and not the other way around.

All those thoughts puzzled my brains but I knew that, it didn't matter who began the kiss the end result was that we both participated in it, making us both the guilty party.

Mrs Lisa might be good and all but I doubt anyone will forgive such betrayal… no one.

“I hope that whatever we speak about now, you an keep it between us?”

“Yes ma’am of course”

I nervously answered her and positioned myself properly onto the seat, if she was going to question me about the kiss, I might as well be ready for it.

“My husband doesn’t want to tell me what happened last night. I think he had some sort of nightmare but he refuses to tell me what it's about. So I’m asking you, did he say anything while he was screaming last night or anything that might get me closer to helping him”

A calming and peaceful breath was released from my lungs but from the inside. I know she was worried about her husband but I couldn’t betray him not even to his wife.

“I’m sorry ma’am I didn’t hear anything other than him screaming no the whole time”

I watched as she sipped from her margarita glass and emptied the rest of its contents and she studied the glass for a while.

“Has my husband been making calls… in private without you in close range”

“Yes ma’’am I think he was talking to a few of his associates”

That wasn’t even a lie, because at times Mr. Richfield would talk on the phone without me. Even though his phone was on speaker he didn’t want me to participating at all.

“Anastasia, I think my husband is cheating on me”

Before I could answer Lisa began crying and that broke my heart, because even though I wasn’t having an affair with her husband I still did kiss him after all… in their house. Talk about your enemy living under the same roof as you.

I hugged her until she began settling down and the tears had subsided. she pulled out a tissue and wiped her nose.

“Anastasia I want to beg you that if you feel that he's doing anything out of the ordinary, please tell me because I love my husband a I really want to fix things with him”

I nodded my head in agreement and she got off her chair and walked out of the kitchen, leaving me alone with all my guilt. I couldn’t bare it anymore after sitting in the kitchen for almost ten minuet, I finally made up my mind that I was going to tell her the truth even if it meant losing my job.

I walked up to the living room and she wasn’t there I looked all over the mansion even her rose garden, which she never visited at all but Lisa was nowhere to be found. I saw another maid Susan walking down the steps and I quickly hurried to her.

“Susan do you perhaps know where Mrs. Lisa is?”

“Yes Ms. Anastasia, she went out with her friends. I think they had to do some shopping in Milan”

I was almost dumb struck for a moment considering the fact that she had just come from a trip that very morning and seemed to be determined to fix her crumbling marriage.

“Are you okay Ms Anastasia?” Susan asked me looking at me with with the eyes of concern.

“I’m sorry its just that she came from a trip just this morning”

“Oh that’s nothing new for her. Poor Mr. Richfield he loves her so much but she doesn't—”

Susan stopped halfway through her sentence but I wanted to know more about all this.

“Its okay Susan tell me, I promise I wont tell a soul what we're discussing”

“You know Mrs. Lisa isn’t such a nice person after all, she just acts like that because she has to keep up appearances. I don't think she even loves Mr. Richfield”

“Why would you say that?”

“Well he did cheat on her before the accident and I guess shes still torn up about that. Poor guy he made her an entire rose garden and all she could say was she wanted lilies instead, meanwhile I'm trying to convince my man that I love roses”

What Susan had said really did shock me because I knew that Lisa was busy but I thought it was all business trips and not just fun and games.

“Okay thanks Susan, we’ll chat tomorrow, maybe”

“Tomorrow I wont be here ma’am”

“Oh, its your day off?”

“No it isn’t, in fact the whole staff won't be here”

Again the heels in my mind began turning and I needed some answers.

“Why wont there be any staff tomorrow?”

“Well its Mr. Richfield's birthday and lets just say that he isn’t really a big fan of anyone being around on that particular day. I guess that’s why Lisa left”

I waved Susan goodbye and she went on doing her choirs and I couldn’t help but notice all the weird secrets that this house held.

from the outside one would think that this was a perfect mansion and that everything was dandy but once you got in, the cracks on the wall was quickly appearing and the mask that everyone was wearing started to fall off and true colors began revealing itself.

I didn't know what I was going to do but i was determined to change the situation around this home. I know it wasn't my place but this house needed a change. I walked up to my room and from then I started to devising a plan, because tomorrows birthday was going to be different.

But deep down a part of me was hoping and even praying that it would have the desired effect that I was aiming for.
