CHAPTER 12

Bridgette, the Davis’ nanny of a few years danced around her room behind closed doors with a secret little smile on her face. After holding out all this time she finally saw her chance. She knew if she played her cards right she could very well become mistress of the house where she’d been nothing more than a servant until now.

She stopped in front of the mirror long enough to admire her youthful beauty. A beauty she was sure could capture the heart of her boss now that his wife was out of the way. She pressed her hands against the sides of her breasts and leaned forward to peer down at her cleavage in the mirror.

She was young and firm, with a supple body that was in much better shape than the other woman’s she was sure, since the late Mrs. Davis had given birth to three children. Although the woman had kept herself in shape when she was alive, there’s no way her old used up body could hold up next to hers.

She had no real feelings about the death of Sonya Davis one-way or the other. No that’s not true, she was glad the woman was finally out of the way since she’d exhausted all her efforts in her bid to get Mr. Davis to notice her. While his wife had been alive she, Bridgette, had been nothing more than a passing thought to him.

But here in the last few days she’d noticed a change in his behavior towards her. She’d played up her care and love for the kids every chance she got when in his presence and it seemed to be working.

She’d correctly deduced that his every thought would be for his children at a time like this and was using that to finagle her way into his heart. She had no qualms about using her charges in this way either. Why should she?

She’d grown up in poverty, watching as others enjoyed the finer things in life. Girls who didn’t possess half her beauty or wit, who were always above her because of their family name and wealth. She’d always been relegated to the background, her beauty being a blessing and a curse because of the hate and jealousy she’d garnered since she became a budding young woman.

Once she’d learned what her beauty stood to gain her she’d made up her mind that she wouldn’t spend the rest of her life the same way she had at birth. There wasn’t much pickings back in her hometown in Ireland so she’d set her sights on distant waters.

Her only purpose in coming here to America was to make her fortune like so many others had done before her. And now, with the untimely death of the mistress of the house, she couldn’t ask for a better chance than this.

Niall had been so in love with his wife when she first came here that she’d almost lost hope. But then there was a period of time almost a year and a half ago when things hadn’t been so good between them.
