Ghost woman

After Irene took her daughter in her arms, Anna clearly heard a satisfied sigh that seemed to come here from the very depths of Anna's house. However, when the fever subsided, Anna immediately forgot about it. For some time she was still in the house, where the mother finally took her child in her arms. Anna's concern now was that Irene's husband and, accordingly, the girl's father, did not arrange anything provocative. The ghost woman was afraid that her husband would still try to hide his wife in a psychiatric hospital and therefore whispered a few words into Irene's ear. The woman listened and nodded in satisfaction. Soon the whole house knew that Madame Irene had finally found her daughter. Servants came running, soon all the large relatives of Irene arrived on a call. When Claudia's father arrived home, he realized that his plan to put his wife in a psychiatric hospital had failed. He feigned languid delight at the fact that his daughter was found and went to his room. The ghost woman was not happy with the situation that had developed, but she understood that now the hands of the owner of the house were tied. What will happen next - time will tell. And over time, the ghost woman Anna was not in control. Evening came, Mrs. Irena did not allow the nurse to return to the house, she herself washed, fed and put her daughter to bed. Several times the husband looked into the nursery and tried to appeal to the mind of the woman. He said that it was indecent for people of his position and class to engage in feeding the child themselves. However, Irene, remembering her street youth, suddenly threw a few dirty words at her husband's address. Moreover, at some point, Irene came close to her husband and simply pushed him out of the nursery. The stunned man couldn't say anything. He, the heir of blue blood, would like to say something caustic about the wife of a commoner, but remembering her eyes, burning with rage, he simply cringed and decided to temporarily retreat. After that, the ghost woman realized that her time to leave this house had come. Mrs. Irene has become a real mistress, now this woman and mother of baby Claudia has become the mistress of her destiny.
Of course, it was all wonderful, but Anna was a little sad. Having returned the baby to her mother, she, a ghost woman, left a piece of her heart in this room. Entering the nursery to look at the little girl for the last time, Anna met the attentive gaze of Madame Irene. However, the woman immediately averted her eyes, she was looking for something. Finally, laughing softly, she said
- I know you're here! At some point I thought I saw you, sorry for being so cowardly!
Old habits are not easy to break, but I will try! You gave me my daughter back and I will never be the same again. No one will ever force me to part with her again. There will be no nurses, nannies, governesses near my daughter. I will take care of her myself, and I will teach everything myself. That's the only way I can save my baby's life. I am the daughter of a noble but impoverished family. In my youth, I was quite attractive, and my then-future husband fell in love with me. However, after the wedding, I increasingly caught his puzzled looks. It seemed that he could not understand what someone like me could do next to him, a descendant of such a famous family. When my daughter was born, it was immediately obvious that she looked like me, this fact terribly infuriated my husband. I tried to explain that children change, and it is likely that when Claudia is a year old or more, she will become like her father. However, my husband stopped listening to me, He hired a whole staff of nannies, nurses and governesses, and ordered me to limit communication with the child to three times a day. Allegedly, his mother did this when he was little. Surprisingly, I obeyed him. I don’t even know what played a role in this, my fear of being on the street with a newborn child, the fear of losing a prosperous life, or, rather, psychotropic substances that, at the insistence of my husband, the doctor prescribed me, acted on me in this way. You know the result, the nanny did not watch over my baby and she was kidnapped. No, don't think, I don't like unfair words. At one time, before marriage, I also managed to work as a nanny. It's just that the nanny was strictly forbidden to walk in that park. Near our house there is a huge territory of our park, which is protected by a fence, there is also a garden, there is even a playground where my baby will walk when she grows up. Park, garden, playground - all this territory is an annex to our house. It's safe here. After my daughter was kidnapped, the nanny was taken to the police station. At first she did not want to tell the truth, and then she was forced to tell everything. The nanny, a middle-aged lady, met a man younger than her on a dating site. This man turned her head. It was he who appointed her a date in that park and at that time. The nanny tried to refuse, citing the fact that she was not allowed to go beyond the fence of the estate. The man insisted, he said that he fell in love and wanted to quickly see the object of his adoration. The nanny was waiting for him in the park, of course, the woman melted from the words of love. Putting my baby incarriage, she came out of the gate of the estate. The men were not there. The nanny waited for him for a long time, time passed, but he was not there. Then she took out a book. To calm down, she tried to go deeper into reading, but there was a kidnapping, as a result of which the nanny lost consciousness, and my baby was abandoned in an empty and dirty house. You ... Whoever you were in a past life, I know and believe that the salvation of my daughter will be credited to you in heaven.
The last words Irene spoke already into the void, but did not know this. Anna left. She didn't go far to her house. The ghost woman began to cry and suddenly remembered what she was hiding even from herself. She remembered her daughter, Olivia, remembered how she had lost her, and she also suddenly clearly saw the moment of her death. I remembered these two centuries that I spent in the house to which I was tied with invisible threads. And now, the events that took place in the customs palace for the dead on the Sanzu River brought back her memory.
