Chapter 21-22

ANNABELLA 

{ The Billionaire's Maid... }

CHAPTER 21-22

            { AFFECTION?? }

               

"I'm talking about Thadeus" He broke the shell and Annabella gave him a shocking look. 

"Sir?" She asked again

"You shouldn't be meeting up with another random man Bella" Gregor said and Annabella felt a strange coldness in her spine, did he just called her Bella?? 

"How did you two met?" Gregor asked further before sitting down

"I....met him before I started working here" Annabella replied and Gregor looked at her

"You two seem close anyway" he muttered

"Not really close" Annabella said and he nodded

"Jay told me what happened in school today,that's how I found out" Gregor said

Annabella took her bottom lip in, remembering the fact that this is the longest conversation they will be having since she got to this place and she doesn't even want it to end,at least not now. 

"You can go" Gregor said,cutting her imagination

"Good night Mr Bells" She muttered with a short bow before going out of the room still feeling nervous as ever.  

She opened the twins door and checked on them before going into her room,as soon as she got in, she fell on the bed and sighed out loudly

'So,I won't meet with Thadeus again?' She thought but then shook her head

'Don't go ahead of yourself Anna, you're nothing to him, this is just acting because the kids said so,nothing else' she scoffed

Her mind suddenly went to how Gregor called her Bella the other time, He's the first person to call her by the last part of her name, most people prefer calling her Anna or her full name.

"It sounds so nice" She mumbled and smiled

"Oh no Annabella, stop smiling,that was nothing!" She groaned,throwing her legs in the air.

"Alex" Casey whispers and Alex opened his eyes

"Nanny came to check on us just now" Casey said

"I know,do you think she finally spoke to daddy on our behalf?" Alex asked

"I guess,I hope daddy is not angry with us. Maybe nanny was able to convince him" Casey pouted

"I'm sure she was able to,trust me" Alex said and Casey sighed

"I thought you don't like her" Alex said and Casey faced him

"I thought I wouldn't like her,but.....she's nice" Casey muttered

"I like her, she makes me want to have mom beside us" Alex said

"Me too, but do you think our mom is coming back?" Casey said sadly

"Even if she comes, I won't like her again. She left us" Alex scoffed

"She's still our mom no matter what" Casey said

"Will you go with her if she comes?" Alex asked

"No, I'm staying with daddy" Casey answered and Alex smiled

"We forgot to ask for our bedtime story,maybe that's why we are still awake" Casey saud

"Just try to sleep,nanny thinks we are sleeping already" Alex muttered and they both closed their eyes right away.

<CAMPBELL'S MANSION>

"Goodnight babe" Melanie said to Lonnie as she was opening the car door

"I love you" Lonnie said and she faced him

"What,why are you looking surprised?? I love you baby" Lonnie repeated 

"I love you too" Melanie muttered

Lonnie pecked her lips and finally she got down from the car,she stood there until Lonnie drove off and then she turned to the gate.

"Hey cat" She heard the familia voice and she turned back immediately

She was shocked to see Wright,climbing down from his bike

"Jerk" She called

"Where did you guys went to? Do you know how long I've been waiting?" Wright walked over to her

"Why??" Melanie asked

"Did your boyfriend warned you to stop talking to me or something?' Wright asked

"What are you talking about?"Melanie asked

"I'm saying,you ignored me in school" Wright said and Melanie rolled her eyes

"As if you Care,you were busy flirting anyway" She muttered and Wright chuckled

"Are you not going to invite me in?" He asked and that was when Melanie remembered that her parents are not supposed to be home tonight because of a gathering they told her about

"Come in" she said and they both went into the house

"Wow,nice" Wright said and pop out the gum in his mouth

"Why is the house empty tho? Nobody is home?" He asked

"Yeah" Melanie muttered

"Then.....wanna come over to my place? I'm the only one home too" Wright said and Melanie faced him

"Huh?" 

"We can just N*****x and chill" Wright winked at her and she kept quiet

"Or....maybe you prefer going to your boyfriend's place,can you stay home all alone?" He asked further

"I will come with you" Melanie said and Wright smiled

"Great idea" He winked

"Wait here,I will take my shower and meet you here" She said and went upstairs.

Wright pushed his hands into his pockets,he was pacing around until Melanie appeared again. 

"I'm here" Melanie said,calling his attention and he turned. 

She was putting on her PJ,just a short sleeve shirt and a short,she also carried another bag which contained what she would be wearing to school the next day.

"You look great in Pajamas,Cat" Wright said 

"Just shut up and let's go" Melanie rolled her eyes

"Wow,are you angry with me or something?" Wright asked but she ignored him

"I should be the one getting angry,you told me your friends hates me,but turns out one of them is even crushing on me" Wright said

"So now what?? Are you going to ask her out? You seem desperate to find a girlfriend anyway" Melanie scoffed and Wright laughed

They got outside and Wright climbed on his bike,Melanie also got on

"I have just one Helmet,you can use it" he said,handing over to her

"Thanks" Melanie said and put it on

Wright stepped on the speed at once and rode off.

<STELLA'S PLACE>

"What are you talking about?" Stella frowned

She's currently on a video call with her best friend,Madison as she cooked in the kitchen. 

"I'm saying the truth Stella,Gregor is in a relationship with that girl" Madison said

"You are joking,that girl looks like a maid" Stella said

"Oh wow,then why are those kids calling her their mom?" Madison asked and Stella's eyes widened

"What?" She was shocked

"Move faster Stella,what is taking you so long? You're not the same Stella anymore" Madison said

"You don't know Gregor babe,he's just too cold and hard to understand' Stella said

"Then seduce him to sleep with you at least,just imagine getting pregnant for him" Madison said and Stella smiled

"Gosh,you're so smart babe" She said 

"Trust me,you're going to have him forever" Madison said

"I know what to do,don't worry" Stella said

They hung up the call and Stella sighed out,remembering Annabella's face

"She wouldn't dare" She muttered but suddenly began to inhale the burning smell of the food she was cooking

"Oh no!" She immediately turned off the cooker

"Gosh,it's bad again" She muttered,checking out the burnt macaroni pasta

"Sh*t,I will just order for something" She dropped the pot and walked out of the kitchen.

<BAR HOUSE>

Cindy let out a loud scoff as she stared at Brandon and Aurora talking,they were about going home when Brandon called Aurora back and she was so curious to know what the f**k they are talking about.

"Geez I can't believe this girl" She muttered

"Seriously? You two are good friends?" Brandon asked Aurora and she nodded

"Don't worry,she's not really like this. I'm sure if you're calm with her,she might change toward you" Aurora said and Brandon nodded

"She's quite hard" He muttered and Aurora chuckled

"Then try harder,wait,are you really interested in her?" Aurora asked

"Of course,do I look like a joker?" Brandon asked and Aurora grinned

"Should i just tell her...."

"No you can't,I know what I'm doing okay? So don't say anything to her" Brandon Said

"Fine" Aurora nodded

"Can you give me her contact?" Brandon asked

"She's going to kill me" Aurora immediately said

"I don't mind doing anything,just give me" Brandon said and Aurora sighed

'Fine" She said and called the number for him

Brandon brought out a bundle of money and Aurora's eyes widened

"Have it" He said

'Oh my,thank you sir!" Aurora bowed

"Bye" Brandon winked at her and walked away

"Cindy!!!" Aurora screamed and rushed to her

'Finally you're back" Cindy rolled his eyes

"How about we go to a mall tomorrow?" Aurora smirked

"Did that crazy man gave you money?" Cindy asked and Aurora raised up the money Brandon gave her

"Seriously,wow. Is he trying to impress every girls he see?" Cindy chuckled

"Oh please,let's go have fun tomorrow!!" Aurora said and Cindy smiled

"Sure!!!!" She shouted

They boarded a cab and left the bar house.

Wright turned his face to Melanie whose head was placed on his shoulder as they watched movie together

"What,why are you staring st me?" Melanie asked

"You have a call" Wright said and she raised her head immediately

She took her phone,it's Lonnie calling her so she got up and moved away to answer the call

Wright's eyes followed her but then turned back to the movie,seconds later,she returned and sat down but Wright didn't look up

"Hey" Melanie called and he faced her

"Why are you quiet?" She asked

"It's quite crazy" Wright muttered

"What?"

"Are you really in love with him this much?" Wright finally faced her

"Lonnie?" Melanie asked

"Of course,I just.....feel jealous somehow,it's crazy right? He's your boyfriend" Wright muttered and Melanie chuckled

"Seriously?" She asked

'Never mind" Wright scoffed

Melanie pushed his head

"If you push me once again,I might just kiss you" Wright said and Melanie froze

"Even if your boyfriend is going to kill me" He added and faced her

"If you're scared of him,then don't do it" Melanie Said,taking the bowl of popcorn and they continue watching the movie.

Minutes later,Melanie's head fell on Wright's shoulder and he looked down at her,she was fast asleep.

Wright smiled

"Cat" He muttered and continued staring at her

After a while,he turned off the movie and gently carried Melanie in his arms in a bridal style,he took her phone and went upstairs. 

He entered his room and placed Melanie on the bed,he covered her up with the duvet and placed a kiss on her head before moving to the long couch in his room. He laid on it and kept on staring at Melanie till he also fell asleep.

<NEXT MORNING≈GREGOR'S ISLAND>

Alex and Casey walked to the living room after having their breakfast,they both stopped on their tracks when they saw Stella in the living room. She also looked up and immediately smiled at them

"Kids!" She stood up and tried to touch Alex who quickly moved back

"Alex,it's Stella. I guess you don't know me,I'm your dad's secretary....."

"Don't touch me" Alex said and Stella frowned

"I just want to say hello" She turned to Casey too 

"I....." 

Casey screamed out and she was shocked,Annabella immediately rushed into the living room

"Nanny!" Alex and Casey rushed to her and hugged her tightly

Stella smiled

'I kmew it,she's just a nanny' she said inwardly

"What's going on? Why would you touch them without their permission?!" Annabella yelled at Stella angrily before she could even think

Stella glared at her

"And who are you to tell me what to do??" She asked

"You don't have to be so rude,you're making them cry" Annabella said

"The last time I checked,you're just a maid in this house,you will soon f**k off anyway.."

"No,you're the stranger here...you should be the one to get lost right now" Annabella said and Stella slapped her hard on the face

Alex and Casey gasped

Gregor walked in almost immediately and he was shocked to see Annabella holding her face

"Stella?" He called and Stella looked up

"Sir....."

"She slapped nanny" Casey said and Gregor's eyes widened

"What?" 

"Sir I was just....."

"She tried to hurt us and nanny wanted to stop her" Alex cut her off and Stella's eyes widened

"That's not true....."

"Leave" Gregor said

"Boss...."

"Get out Stella" Gregor said 

Stella glared at Annabella before carrying her bag and then stormed out of the house

Gregor turned to Annabella

"Are you okay?" He asked

Annabella nodded but he saw her red cheek and slowly touched her cheek,shocking Annabella.

Casey and Alex smiled at each other and walked out of the house,leaving Gregor and Annabella

"Mr Bells,I......" Annabella tried moving back

"Don't move" Gregor said and she stopped immediately and slowly he started leaning closer to her face

Annabella's eyes widened and she quickly closed her eyes.
