Chapter 8 That Night I Slept With Him

  Victoria

  I woke up and it was getting dark, I heard Matteo's voice and I immediately sprang into action.

  I had overslept. His father would kill me.

  I walked into his room to find him crying in his cot. I picked him up and tried to soothe him. His diaper was making him uncomfortable.

  I bathed him and put a new one on him and he seemed to calm down a bit.

  I rocked him and sang to him for a while till he fell asleep. When I made sure the slumber had him in deep. I laid him down gently and tiptoed to the door.

  I needed to retire for the night. The whole mansion was very quiet.

  I closed my door securely behind me. It was kind of windy tonight plus this house kind of scares me at night.

  I stripped myself and went to have a shower. I stayed there for a while, longer than necessary actually.

  It felt good to not have to bother about the water bill.
