XAVIER’S POV. I still don’t understand why that scene from earlier keeps playing in my head. I couldn’t forget how that bastard touched her ass, how he was smirking like he just made it big, I so wanted to wipe that smirk off. I got down from the car and brought my phone out and put a call across to my investigator Sam. “Hey Sam.” I called as he answered. “Good evening, boss, what can I do for you?” He asked. “I want you to investigate Fidelio Sanchez, all his shady and legal business. I want to see all on my table before the end of tomorrow.” I said. “Got it, boss.” I smiled and hung up. Just wait Fidelio you won’t know what hit you. The image of Fidelio touching Alyssa’s laps and spanking her butt came to my mind again, and I groaned, what is wrong with me? Why am I still thinking about that incident?, I sighed, shook my head and stepped into the house. “Argh.” As I walked past the door, the first thing that welcomed me was a crying baby. I looked around the
ALYSSA’S POV. “I’m not throwing it out sir, it's just kind of stressful and I can’t do it. I’m sorry, sir.” I stood up to leave, but the next words he said made me halt. “Miss Brown, the pay is double your pay here, and it’s not that stressful. You only need to dress the child up for school, feed the child take the child to school, pick the child up, and feed the child lunch and dinner before a bedtime story then once she falls asleep you’re free to go home and come back the next day before coming to the office.” He said desperately like he was the person in need of help. The pay is good and when he mentioned the ‘child’ in all sentences, I thought the ‘child’ doesn’t have a gender. Finally, I knew it was a girl, I stared at him before replying. “You said the pay is twice my pay here,” I asked again for a better confirmation. “Affirmative.” I did a little thinking, the job is not that bad. It’s just taking care of a child, so it’s not that scary, and I need the money to help my
ALYSSA’S POV. “That’s better and from now on, I’m going to call you nanny Lyssa, and I’m Chelsea.” She brought her hand out for a handshake, I stared at Chris, who gave me a wink before taking her little hand in mine. I shook my head, this one must be a smarty-pants. Gosh! She’s just like Megan, we walked out of the waiting area to the car and once Chelsea checked out like it was some company or so, we left. “So nanny Lyssa, tell me about yourself. What do you do and where do you stay?” She asked and I sighed. Oh, god, and she’s a blabbermouth. “Like I’ve said before, I’m Alyssa, and I’ll be your very best nanny.” I replied, avoiding her other questions, what does she want with my house address or where I work? “That’s all.” She yelled and shook her head before staring at me, straight into my eyes. “Please don’t tell me you’re boring like my previous Nannies.” She palmed her face and I almost shouted at her, but I kept my cool. INHALE. EXHALE. She’s just a kid, Alyssa, h
XAVIER’S POV. After Alyssa left the office, I was bored and felt empty, so I decided to watch the CCTV footage from the mansion and as I clicked my laptop on, I saw Alyssa in the living chatting away with Mary, smiling and laughing like they’ve been friends for ages when they just met today. My baby walked downstairs in a cute yellow jumpsuit, smiling happily as she saw Alyssa. O..... Kay, she’s smiling does that means she likes Alyssa as her Nanny, I just pray she likes Aly so she could stay forever. ‘Who wouldn’t like Aly, she’s a charmer’ my mind taunted, and I definitely agreed. She’s a charmer indeed. After a long, boring day, I checked out of my office and went to the car park. I entered the car and drove home, I was late I know, and I’m getting an earful from Chelse when I get home, that’s if she’s still awake. I purposely stayed late so that I wouldn’t meet Alyssa and I left the office when I saw her bade goodbye to both Chelsea and Mary and walked out of the gate.
❤️ ALYSSA’S POV ❤️ The sound of my ringing phone woke me up from my beautiful sleep where I was still dreaming about marrying a rich man. I groaned as I searched around for it, then picked it up when I finally got it. “Hello.” I yawned loudly. “Goodness, girl! I thought you left planet earth to Mars.” A voice I know too well yelled, and I had to bring the phone down from my ear to check the caller and true to my instincts, it was really Maddy. “Hey Maddy.” I said and chuckled nervously. “Don’t you dare ‘hey’ me, girl.” She yelled, and I sighed, rubbing my head. “I’m sorry Maddy, I know why haven't hanged out for a while now, but I’ve been busy.” I explained, and she snorted. “Yeah, too busy for your best friend. Aly I’m your ‘best friend’ and you don’t treat me like one.” This time her voice was low, and I knew she’s really hurt. “No it’s not that Maddy, you’re and will still be my best friend, but you need to know I’ve gotten a job in a big company and my wor
XAVIER’S POV. I woke up and still felt love me sleeping. Damn you, Ben, I got down from my bed and entered my bathroom. I took a nice cool shower to wake up my sleepy eyes, and it did work, after my bath I walked into my walk in closet and picked a nice blue tux to wear before going downstairs when I was sure Alyssa had already left. “Good morning sir.” Mary greeted, and I nodded then went to the dining for my breakfast. “What time did the Nanny come?” I asked as the chef placed my food on the table. “She came at six thirty, sir and they left before eight.” Mary replied, and I nodded. I ate my food peacefully and made to stand, but the noise from upstairs drew my attention. I faced Mary and asked, “what’s going on?” She shook her head and I sighed as I climbed the stairs and the noise led me to Ben’s room. I entered into the room and met a sober Ben holding his head as he puked his gust out in the toilet. “Good to see you again, Ben.” I said sarc
ALYSSA’S POV. “Miss Brown, is it a crime if I have the picture of my goddaughter in my office.” He asked, and I quickly shook my head, “You can sir” I brought my head down, and I heard him sighed. “Do you have any idea if she likes you because I know Chelsea can be picky, especially with her Nannies.” He asked again and I frowned. Why’s everyone saying Chelsea was picky, She isn’t picky whereas she’s just a cute little girl searching for a friend and a right Nanny. “Yes sir, little Chelsea likes me and the feeling is mutual because she’s so cute, smart. She’s intelligent sir, can you believe she did her assignment herself without my help and.....” I refrained myself from saying more. Gosh, I can’t believe I just fished out those words in front of my boss. “Uhm, I’m sorry, sir.” I apologized, but he waved it off, wait is that a small smile on his face. “Tell me my schedule for today, Miss Brown.” I brought my IPad out since I was with it and scrolled through his schedu
ALYSSA’S POV. The day dragged slowly and after a long boring day; it was time to go pick Chelsea from school. I entered the already waiting Bentley and Chris drove straight to the school. “Nanny Lyssa.” Chelsea squealed as she saw me. She hugged me tightly with a huge smile on her face. “Hey baby, how are you?” “I’m fine and you.” “I’m fine. Let’s go home.” I helped her into the car. I also climbed in. Chris exchange some words and free greeting from Chelsea as he drives home. Throughout her bath, Chelsea kept me busy with her non-stood chatting about her friends and teachers. “Baby, what do you want for lunch?” I asked, going through the food stuff. “The same cupcakes, those delicious ones.” She yelled excitedly, and I laughed. “Sure, let’s get to work.” We got to the kitchen, and it surprised me to see a chef, an actual chef. He was preparing lunch, and I felt bad. “Good afternoon, sir.” I greeted, and he turned swiftly. “Oh, hello dear.” He said, and I can hear a
A Week Later. “Come on, Mrs. Winthrop, you can do it. I can see the head, you just have to push.” The doctor said trying to encourage me, but that’s what she has been saying for the past forty minutes. Gosh, this is so painful, I ain’t doing this again. I breath out loudly then took in a deep breath as I held Xavier’s hand tightly, pushing harder as I felt the head coming out, and suddenly, I felt free from the pain and the shrill cry of the baby was heard in the room. “The first one is out, it’s a boy.” The doctor announced and Xavier kissed my cheeks. “Two more to go, babe.” I nodded as I pushed again, but this time it didn’t take long before they came out. “Congrats, Mr. Winthrop.” I said weakly as I stared at a crying Xavier. “Thank you, darling.” He pecked the crown of my head, wiping my sweat off. I closed my eyes, turning the noise and everything down. ~~~~ XAVIER. I never thought I would ever witness this, the birth of my babies. It didn’t sit well with me to see
FOUR MONTHS LATER. ❤️❤️ ALYSSA ❤️❤️ I stared at myself as I rubbed the lipstick on my lips and couldn’t help but smile. I can’t believe this is me in the mirror, I look more beautiful and happy, and I love it. “Mummy!” I turned, and I saw my beautiful angel running towards me. She was putting on the same gown as me but with a different design, she looked so beautiful. “Hey baby, how are you?” I asked pecking her cheeks and she giggled doing the same to same and my huge tummy. Trust me, this tummy is so big that sometimes I fear it would burst. “How are my baby’s sisters doing?” Chelsea asked and I chuckled. She wanted them to be girls, and I just pray she gets her wish. “They are Fine.” I replied, and she smiled rubbing her hand on it. It has been great during these past four months, Lisa was so happy when she heard I was pregnant, although she scolded and smacked Xavier for hurting me. I remembered the first day I told Chelsea I was carrying her baby sister or b
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ “I have my reasons, Alyssa.” He paused and took a deep breath. “I have my reasons for rejecting you.” I stared at him in anticipation. “Take a seat.” He tapped the space beside him and I sat down, waiting for his explanation. “There’s a reason why I don’t have any woman in my life now and before. Do you know before you came into my life, a lot of women has shown interest in me and even mum introduced some ladies to me, but I didn’t have it in me to take one in, not when they were going to leave me anyway. I remember the first day you walked into my office, looking like an angel and trust me, you got my attention without trying, I haven’t looked at any woman the way I stared at you. They were the same way I stared at my Charlotte.” I gasped. His Charlotte, Who was that? “Charlotte was my first love, my life, and everything, she was my late wife and Chelsea’s mum. You see, Alyssa, when she came into my life, I thought everything would work out for me, us, wel
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room and similarly to when Timothy abducted me, the thing I was in was moving. I gulped and got up slowly, where am I now? I tried recollecting all that happened, and then I remembered, Xavier, he came to save me. I thought he wouldn’t care or leave me to rot in there, but he saved me, maybe he did it to save his child and not me. I chuckled bitterly at my pathetic self, even after rejecting for twice I’m still rooting for him to love me, pathetic. “You are awake.” I turned to the doorway and saw him, the intruder on my mind. He was clad in a sweat shirt and pants, and he looked deliciously handsome that all I wanted to do was rip the shirt off and jumped on his bone. I blushed and smacked myself. “Are you okay?” I suddenly felt his presence next to me. “I’m fine, thanks for saving me, Mr. Xavier.” I said. I was grateful he took me out of that hellhole, I didn’t know what Timothy would have done to me if he d
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I continued moving backwards as he walked slowly to my side and I gasped when I got to the wall. He snickered and said. “Nowhere to run too now, huh.” I looked at the door behind him and made a move to run for it, but he grabbed my hand like he was expecting that. “Let go of me, Timothy.” I commanded, trying to take his hard grip off. “You are hurting me, Timothy.” I cried in pain and, like a person under a spell, he snapped out of it l. He released my hand, which was already red from his tight grip. “I’m sorry Aly.” He apologized and picked my bruised hand up, but I took it away quickly. “Don’t touch me.” I yelled, and he stopped. “I apologize for hurting you Aly, it wasn’t my intention, but you’re the one making me to hurt you.” I scoffed. “You can’t get what you want from me, Timothy, please let me go, please.” He heaves. “I can’t Aly. This is your rightful place, right here next to me.” He leaned closer, and I turned my head. “You look
XAVIER. “Is everything ready?” I asked Ben as we took our seat on my private jet. “Yes, no need to worry. I called him, and I’ve set up a meeting with him.” He explained and I nodded. That’s a good start, we were on our way to Dubai to get Alyssa back, and with all of this going on, what surprised me most was when Benjamin said he knows someone in the mafia. I was beyond astonished, but it came to our favor because he was ready to hear us out. I sighed, rubbing my temples, the past three days haven’t been easy for Chelsea, Alyssa’s family and funny as it may sound, me. Everyone was on tenterhooks praying for Alyssa’s safety, and I’ve promised to bring her back home safely. “What are you thinking about?” Ben nudged my arms and I opened my eyes. “I don’t know, is this going to work?” I asked. I was skeptical about this plan, but I need to make this work ‘cause it’s the only way Alyssa can come home. Whatever I need to forfeit, I will do it as long as the woman I’ve come to
XAVIER TWO DAYS LATER It has been two days since I’ve been coming to Alyssa’s place and couldn’t find her. I have been going back and forth, knocking on her door or ringing the bell but no answer from her. The first thought that came to my mind the first day I couldn’t find her was that she ran away with my child, I mean I did a lot of nasty things to her and I would accept if she ran away but after getting some meaningful message from Chelsea, I could tell she didn’t leave on her own. With the financial influence I had, I made the cops search the whole town but still, there wasn’t any report about her, so my thought was that maybe she was abducted to another town. I alighted from my car and sighed, I closed the door then took quick strides into the building. “Good morning, Mr. Winthrop.” Caleb greeted. Caleb was the guy in charge of the security footage in Alyssa’s area, so here I am trying to see if I could find any clue in searching for her. “Morning, is the results ou
❤️❤️ ALYSSA ❤️❤️ I woke up with a headache and found myself in an unfamiliar room, I sat up groggily looking around to see if I can have an idea of where I was. The last thing I remembered was going to meet Tim in a café and having a chat while drinking my juice, then I suddenly felt dizzy and weak. What happened after that? A picture of Timothy walking towards me with a smirk played in my head and I shook my head, no, Timothy wouldn’t do this to me. He’s my friend, and he wouldn’t hurt me right, I sighed and rubbed my tummy, where am I and why did I feel whatever this was moving. “I can see that you are awake.” I snapped my head to the doorway and saw him resting his body on the door frame with a smile. “Where am I Tim?” I asked and he chuckled, walking closer to me. I shifted backwards but stopped when I hit the bed stand. “Oh my dear Alyssa, you are safe with me. So don’t bother your little brain about where we are or going.” He brought his hand to my face, but I swat
XAVIER. After Alyssa and Chelsea left, Alyssa’s Mum stayed behind and the glare she was giving to me was too much. I cleared my throat to lessen the awkwardness, she has been staring at me for quite some time now, and it’s becoming uncomfortable. I attempted to leave, but she pulled me back. “Can I have a word with you?” She asked, and I paused. A word, with me. Did she want to speak to me about Alyssa and I? “Ma’am, is there anything wrong?” I asked, wiping my sweaty hands on my trousers. I’m nervous and I don’t know why? “Yes. Everything is wrong, my daughter living You is so wrong and all of this bullshit, everything is so wrong.” She yelled angrily and I sighed. I guessed right, this is all about Alyssa. “Ma’am, can you please tell me what’s wrong about it?” “You know you’re the first guy my Aly has loved, the day she confessed her feelings to you, and you rejected her, my Aly who was bubbling with life always cheerful and happy became sad. I noticed her behavior t
