This is a short ficlet, in my Nolan and maya universe.
My name is Elizabeth Grayson, I'm twenty one years old and today is the day I died. It started off like any other, I fed my son and kissed my husband goodbye. Then I got in my car and went to run some errands, after which I would attend lunch with my best friend Georgina and her daughter Maya. That lunch went unattended, instead my brakes failed and the luxury car I drove went in to the ocean.
I want to say that my death occurred due to some grand design, that there was purpose behind it. But that would be a lie, the reason my Patrick will not know me is a single act of betrayal. Or to be more precise the greed of one woman, one stunning woman. I can here the condemnation of every mother out there, you hired a beautiful aupaire and now you're reaping the reward.
Stupid, there's no sugar coating what I had done. Some people screw up all there lives and still turn it all around, But there decisions aren't life and death. I had assumed that my own youth and beauty would guarantee Conrad's fidelity but I was wrong. The affair had started almost immediately, her pedigree more impressive and her salt of the earth values more endearing.
It never occurred to me even as I hit the icy water that Victoria had betrayed me, she was my rock. I was a moronic child who suffered the consequences of youth and a foolish mind. Now I stand at the doors of perdition praying for a reprieve.
