Nanny Dearest

Chapter  Eighty-Eight Good News

This is a turn of events and I really don't know how to process this, Ruslan said he wanted move from a mansion to a house. Like public, no gates, no guards just a basic house in a community. We've been looking since this morning after we drop Makar in school, I wanted him to be homeschooled for a while until this whole blackmail situation go away but Ruslan said he doesn't want Makar to worry about anything.

We had an argument, to be honest I don't regret it and I'm pretty sure Ruslan doesn't either. Went from small talk to a debate to a screaming match but he dead the communication saying he's doesn't want to upset me and the baby.

Right now we are in Twine Palace which is another suburban area where we might live. The real estate agent showed us it's nice modern house, I liked the front yard because I want to have a garden even knowing damn well I have allergies though. The neighbors are nosy also . . . Well some, a few people were looking out their window as some actually was bold coming outside. I stood next to Ruslan linking my arm around him just for comfort, I don't know if I'm being paranoid or just mean.

The real estate agent took us inside giving us a tour of the house during mid tour I had asked her can Ruslan and I speak in private which she gladly left the kitchen and Ruslan leaned against the counter, fixing his gaze on me.

"Without us screaming at one another, because the day was the first let's have an adult conversation." I spoke, placing my arm on the island leaning against it.

"You felt the need to raise your voice at m-

"You called me incompetent." I cut him of and he shoot me a glare.

"I said you act, not IS." He emphasizes. "If you're going to quote me, do it correctly." He said with a bratty attitude. I closed my eyes taking in a deep breath before speaking.

"We agree to disagree." I said and he folded his arms.

"I disagree with that choice." He said and I sucked my teeth.

"This is not even the conversation I want to have with you." I whined trying not to get upset, I know I can be sensitive.

"Then what topic do you want to address?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders, slapping my hand against my thigh dropping it.

"THIS, look where we're at you're considering moving into an open area that anyone can find us. There's no guards, no protection. The only thing that fucking can is you and some lame ass security camera." I said in a hush tone moving towards him, I felt my heart beating fast out of anxiety, I looked up at Ruslan feeling myself get emotional I attempted to fight back tears. I shouldn't be on the verge of crying. Come on Marya get your shit together.

I was pulled out of my thoughts feeling Ruslan hands touch my shoulders rubbing my arm before hooking both arms around me and started to sway, I hesitated but went along with him.

"You're scared." He said and I shook my head no.

"No I'm not." I bite my lip resting my forehead against his chest as we continue to sway side to side.

"Then why are you crying?" He asked and I tried to sniff quietly as I shook my head.

"I'm not." I mumbled.

"My shirt is wet Marya." Ruslan said, lightly grabbing my face to force me to look at him while I'm teary-eyed,a frown touching his face as he moved his hand back to my waist. Silence took over the room for a second before he spoke. "Remember when I asked you about an Honest living and life. I specifically remember you telling me it starts with a decent job and a house." He said and moved one of his hands from my waist pointing around the area. "This is a decent house, I don't have a decent job yet but I'm pretty sure when Halston takes my position, I'll do stocks and a little finance work here and there." He said looking dead at me.
