On Monday morning, Mr Evans visited Mr Martins' office with his daughter in tow dragging her two suitcases. Mr Martins was so happy to see them and said smiling, "What a pleasant surprise." Mr Evans smiled and replied, "I have found a nanny for you."
Mr Martins was overjoyed, he looked around, but he didn't see anyone. He looked at Paul and asked, "When is she coming to see me? My wife will give birth anytime now."
Bridgette replied smiling, "I will be your baby's nanny, Uncle Martins." Mr Martins was so shocked, then he shook his head and said, "Bridgette, I will not allow you to abandon your career. Your business is doing well."
Bridgette smiled brightly and replied, "Uncle Martins, I have made arrangements with my assistants, they will take care of my gallery." August looked at Paul and asked, "Why don't you talk sense to your daughter?"
Paul smiled and replied, "My wife and I are 100% behind her. Please don't try to change her mind."
Uncle Martins looked at Bridgette with worried eyes and said, "What about your boyfriend? Did your father tell you that I need a full-time nanny?"
Bridgette wanted to laugh but she held it back and replied, "Uncle Martins, I am just twenty-one years old, and I don't have a boyfriend yet.
My father told me that you need a full-time nanny hence my suitcases. I only need a few hours on Sundays to go to church."
Uncle Martins looked at her helplessly. Even though he wanted the full-time nanny urgently, he didn't want to take advantage of his friend's daughter. She had a bright future, and her business was booming.
He looked at Paul and said, "Please ask your wife to keep looking for a middle-aged lady to take care of my daughter." Paul replied smiling, "August, if you don't want my daughter to help you, how about my wife?"
August was so shocked he didn't know how to respond. How could he allow Paul's beloved wife to be a nanny?
He looked defeated and asked, "Bridgette, would you be so kind as to help my family for a time being?"
Bridgette was so happy she smiled brightly and replied, "I am willing, Uncle Martins." She knew nothing about being a nanny, but she wasn't afraid because she had the Lord on her side.
Finally, she would do something good for the Martins family and she was looking forward. Mr Martins called his secretary and told him that he had something urgent to take care of. Then he took Bridgette to his mansion.
Would Mrs Martins agree to have Bridgette as her daughter's nanny?
On their way to the Martins residence, Uncle Martins told Bridgette that she should be strong and not be scared of Aunt Elizabeth. Her duty would be to take care of the baby only.
When they arrived at the Martins residence, Butler Bruce rushed to Mr Martins' car and opened his car door.
Mr Martins thanked him and asked him to take Miss Evans' suitcases in the car boot and put them in her bedroom.
Bridgette was mesmerized by the mansion's beauty and its uniqueness. The mansion was huge, and it was a three-story house. When she entered the house, she was greeted by the warmth of two spacious living rooms.
A breathtakingly beautiful lady was in the living room watching television. August walked to his wife smiling and said, "My beautiful wife, I have found someone who will look after our daughter."
Elizabeth Martins raised her eyes and looked behind her husband and frowned. She looked at her husband with questioning eyes, but she didn't utter a word. The young lady was stunning.
Her husband smiled broadly and said, "Bridgette, let me introduce you to my wife, this is Elizabeth Martins. My wife, this is Bridgette, Paul's daughter, she is going to be our daughter's nanny."
Bridgette walked to Mrs Martins smiling and reached out her hand. Mrs Martins looked at Bridgette's hand with disdain in her eyes. Bridgette wasn't embarrassed at all when Mrs Martins refused to shake her hand.
Elizabeth then looked at her husband and asked, "Why did you bring your mistress into my house?"
Mr Martins was shocked when he heard his wife's question and replied, "My wife, please don't embarrass yourself in front of our guest. Bridgette comes from a respectable family."
He then called Aunt Rose and asked her to show Bridgette around. Aunt Rose quickly took Bridgette away.
August looked at his wife with cold eyes and said, "Elizabeth, if you ever call Paul's daughter a mistress again, I will never forgive you.
I will not allow you to embarrass Bridgette. She has sacrificed a lot to be our daughter's nanny. I am warning you, Elizabeth, if you ever humiliate her, I will send you back to the Parker family.
We are in this situation because you refused to take care of our daughter."
Elizabeth was so shocked when she heard her husband's words, she blinked her eyes and replied, "What are you taking me for, I've seen the way this girl looked at you. I am not blind, August. Is it wrong if I feel insecure?"
Her husband looked at her and sneered, "Elizabeth, if you continue spouting nonsense, I will be mad. Please respect Paul's daughter. If you make her upset and leave this house, I will never forgive you."
August was fuming; Bridgette was like a daughter to him. He looked at his wife coldly, and then he walked to the first floor to see his son before he went back to work.
Aunt Rose looked at Bridgette smiling and took her arm and said, "Young lady, let me show you around."
Bridgette smiled broadly, and then Aunt Rose took her to the two large dining rooms and a stylish fully fitted kitchen with a large scullery room.
Aunt Rose looked at Bridgette and asked, "Do you want to take a lift or stairs?" Bridgette smiled and replied, "It's up to you Aunt Rose."
They decided to take the stairs. The first floor had five lavishly decorated spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
They took the lift to the second floor; it had an opulent master bedroom and two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. All the bedrooms were overlooking sensational views.
Aunt Rose looked at Bridgette smiling and said, "Mr Martins has turned one of the bedrooms into a nursery and he decorated the nursery himself. Let's get inside to have a look."
The nursery was spacious, and it had soft pink wallpaper. The nursery was calming and comfortable. On the wall, she saw the landscape painting that Uncle Martins had purchased during the Art Exhibition Day.
She lifted her eyes and saw the beautifully written words on the wall. It read thus, 'You are my gift from the Lord, Baby Avery.' Bridgette smiled and said, "Aunt Rose, what a beautiful name." Aunt Rose nodded her head smiling.
The baby cot with a canopy was placed against the wall, whereas the chest of drawers with a changer on top was placed against the wall opposite the baby cot.
The rocking chair was placed in the corner and there was also a soft pink sofa with white cushions and soft pink throw. The rug on the floor was pink and fluffy.
Bridgette was mesmerized by the baby nursery; she felt that she would have a wonderful time with baby Avery.
Aunt Rose held his arm and said, "Miss Evans, let us go to your bedroom using the connecting door." Then Aunt Rose opened the door.
When Bridgette saw her bedroom, she was stunned. The bedroom was lavishly decorated with a shade of brown.
In the middle of the room, there was a wall-panel brown headboard attached to the king-sized bed. The sheets on the bed were cream and the comforter was brown.
Opposite the bed, there was a big mirror covering the entire wall. It made the room look bigger and more luxurious. The chandelier was dangling from the ceiling. There was a couch in the room.
Her bedroom was amazing, she was grinning from ear to ear. She walked to the balcony, there was a recliner chair and pot plants.
After that, they took the stairs to the third floor. Aunt Rose showed her the prayer room, but they didn't enter. She indicated that everything in the room was white.
Then they went to the fully fitted gym. It had a bathroom and a sauna. There was also a spacious study room with built-in cupboards.
Then Aunt Rose took her outdoors. There was a sparkling swimming pool and a braai area. The garden was flourishing with roses and Blue Iris flowers.
Bridgette was amazed when she saw the flower garden. Aunt Rose indicated that the Blue Iris was Mr Martins' mother's favorite flowers.
Then she showed her cars in the garage. She indicated that Mr Martins had bought her customized Volvo XC90 should she want to go out with the baby. Bridgette was touched by Uncle Martins' thoughtfulness.
Would Mrs Martins allow Bridgette to stay?
Mr Martins asked Butler Bruce to protect Bridgette from his wife. Then he told him that Bridgette would eat with them because she was his guest.Butler wasn't surprised when he heard Mr Martins' words because he was aware of the relationship between Mr Martins and the Evans family.When Aunt Rose and Bridgette returned to the house, Mrs Martins was still in the living room watching television.Bridgette wanted to go to her bedroom to rest but she decided against it. She walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. Mrs Martins looked at her with disdain in her eyes and said, "What are you doing in my house?"Bridgette was taken aback and replied smiling, "Auntie, I am here to help Uncle Martins with the baby." Mrs Martins was so furious and said, "Who are you calling Auntie? Please leave my house immediately."Bridgette laughed out loud and replied, "I'm sorry, Auntie, but you don't have the authority to chase me away. I am calling you Auntie out of respect for Uncle Martins, but you
Mrs Martins was so angry she wanted to slap Bridgette hard across her face. Her eyes turned red, and then she took a knife and rushed to Bridgette. She wanted to kill her.Bridgette remained calm and looked at Aunt Elizabeth as if she was a clown. Aunt Elizabeth was no match for her.Mrs Martins was about to stab Bridgette but someone held her tightly. Elizabeth was so scared when she smelled the familiar scent.What was her husband doing at home? Her husband used to drop everything to accompany his wife for lunch. However, she didn't appreciate that she was disrespectful to him. Then he stopped coming home for lunch.Her husband took the knife from his wife's hand and asked, "What are you doing Elizabeth? Are you insane?"Elizabeth struggled in her husband's arms. She turned around and looked at her husband coldly, "Why, did your heart ache because I tried to kill your mistress?"Her husband was so angry and sneered, "Elizabeth, please don't embarrass the Martins family. Have I ever
On Thursday morning around 5 am, Elizabeth shook her husband and said, "August, wake up." Her husband woke up immediately, he was so scared when he saw that the bed was wet and asked, "Love, are you in labour?"Elizabeth nodded her head and said, "August, take me to the hospital quickly the baby is coming."August jumped out of bed, he put the bathrobe on top of the pajamas then he ran to the closet and took his wife's dress.He quickly changed his wife's clothes, and then he carried her in his arms and headed down to the living room. He shouted Butler Bruce's name.Fortunately, Butler Bruce was already awake; he rushed to his boss's side. "Take us to the hospital, my wife is in labour."When Aunt Rose heard Mr Martins' voice she dressed up quickly and went to the living room. Mr Martins told her that his wife was in labour. He asked her to tell Bridgette to accompany them to the hospital.Bridgette was in a deep slumber when she heard Aunt Rose calling her name. She went to the door
Bridgette smiled brightly at Mr Martins and said, "Uncle Martins, you don't have to stay here with us. Also, my mother is coming to keep us company. I promise to call Aunt Rose if something happens."Uncle Martins was moved by Bridgette's words and replied, "Bridgette, I am so grateful that you are here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for availing yourself to help us. Since your mother is coming, I will leave when she arrives."Bridgette smiled and replied, "It's my pleasure, Uncle Martins. This is nothing, compared to what you have done for me and my family. I will be eternally grateful to the Lord for the Martins family."Mr Martins was very busy, but he was reluctant to leave Bridgette alone with the baby. Since Bridgette didn't have any experience of being a nanny. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mrs Evans would visit them.He canceled all his scheduled meetings, but he couldn't move the meeting with the Department of Water representatives. He was told that
The meeting with the Minister of Water and Sanitation lasted for two hours. Since Minister Cele took his time to meet him, Mr Martins decided to invite him and his delegates to dinner at His Mercy restaurant at 6 pm.Then he rushed to Aiden's school, Trinity Leadership Academy, to fetch him. It was one of the prestigious schools in Durban and it offered education from the Foundation phase to Grade 12.Aiden was overjoyed when he saw his father. He smiled brightly and raised his arms. His father took him in his arms, and then they went home to change his clothes.His father smiled broadly at him and said, "Aiden, your Mommy had a baby sister this morning. Do you want to see her?" Aiden's eyes lit up, he was grinning from ear to ear and said, "Yes Daddy."Paul Evans went to the hospital to accompany his lovely wife and his daughter. He was praying in his heart that his wife would not spend the night in the hospital because it would be the longest night of his life.They had never separa
August and Edwin went back to the living room chatting and laughing. Elizabeth was watching her favourite Telenovela, The Wife. August indicated that he was going to the baby's nursery to check on baby Avery.Edwin sat on the sofa, he looked at his sister and said, "Elizabeth, since you came back from the hospital, I haven't seen you holding or breastfeeding your daughter. What is going on?"Elizabeth lowered her eyes and replied, "I don't like children, big brother. I agreed to have one child, but August forced me to have a second child. I didn't want to give birth to her.He threatened me with a divorce." Her brother was dumbfounded when he heard his sister's words and asked, "Don't you think that you went overboard?"Elizabeth was so annoyed and replied, "This is my body and I have a right to decide what to do with my body. I felt disrespected when he forced me to carry the baby for ten months against my wishes."Her brother was so shocked and said, "According to my knowledge, my b
Elizabeth had a long night, she was tossing and turning. She missed her husband's warm embrace around her. She stopped herself from going to the study room to fetch her husband.A thought flashed through her mind. What if her husband was in Bridgette's bedroom? She would never allow that to happen under her nose. She threw the comforter away, and then she rushed to Bridgette's room.Fortunately, Clayton was sitting outside the door. When he saw Mrs Martins, he greeted her warmly and said, "Are you here to see your lovely daughter Madam?" Mrs Martins was so embarrassed and replied, "I am looking for my husband."Clayton looked at her with confusion in his eyes. He looked at his watch, it was midnight. Why would Mrs Martins go to Bridgette's bedroom if she was looking for her husband? Was she trying to catch her husband with Bridgette?He smiled faintly and replied, "Mr Martins is sleeping in his study room Madam. Are you sure that you are not here to see your lovely daughter?"When Mrs
In the blink of an eye, Baby Avery was six months old. She started calling her father 'Dada' and Bridgette 'Mama'. Bridgette wanted to correct her, but Mr Martins felt that it would confuse the child since she hadn't seen her mother yet.Several times Mr Martins tried to involve his wife in their daughter's life, to no avail. Mrs Martins indicated that she agreed to give birth to one child only.The following day, the weather was sunny and bright. It was a good day to take baby Avery outside for a walk.Bridgette walked to Clayton smiling and said, "Clayton, would you be so kind to accompany us to the park. The weather is so beautiful; I want to take baby Avery out for a walk."Clayton nodded his head and waited for Bridgette and the baby. Bridgette put a hat on Baby Avery, and then she packed her milk bottle and fruits in the bag. Clayton took baby Avery in his arms and Bridgette pushed the pram to the lift.When they got out of the lift, they met Mrs Martins who was waiting for the
Xavier and his wife drove to His Grace Hotel to meet his friends. The hotel manager was waiting for them at the door. He greeted them with respect, then he pressed the 60th floor. Xavier smiled at the hotel manager and thanked him.In their Presidential Suite, Avery smiled at her husband and asked, "Honey, do you wear casual or formal clothes when meeting your friends?"Xavier took her in his arms and replied, "Wear whatever you are comfortable with. If you want to wear casual clothes, go ahead."Avery decided to wear a knee-high red dress. Then she took a navy blue custom-made suit and a white shirt for her husband. She looked at her husband and said, "I have prepared Longevity Health Supplements for your friends' grandfathers."Xavier kissed her on the lips and said, "Thank you, my love. Their grandfathers are very close to our grandfather. He will be overjoyed when they tell him. You have brought nothing but joy to my family."At 12:59, Xavier ushered his stunning wife to the privat

Hubby, this is my God grandpa, Paul Evans, and my God grandma, Suzie Evans."Her God grandpa smiled broadly and asked, "Son, nice to meet you. Are you Mr Noah Taylor's grandson?" Xavier smiled and replied, "Pleasure is mine, God Grandpa. Yes, Noah Taylor is my grandfather."August had told him that the Taylor family heir was very handsome and outstanding. He looked at his outstanding God grandson-in-law in front of him, smiling from ear to ear. He was compatible with his God granddaughter.At that moment, Aunt Bridgette walked into the dining room carrying fruit on the plate. She sm

John Taylor smiled brightly at his father and said, "Dad, your granddaughter in love, has been surrounded by billionaires, from her father to her nanny. Miss Evans raised her well, she is down to earth. I am glad that she wasn't raised by Elizabeth.Elizabeth is a horrible human being, and she is evil-hearted. August told me that when my daughter-in-law was fourteen years old, Elizabeth and others tried to kill her, but she fought back."Caroline nodded her head and said, "Dad, John, and I attended August's brother-in-law and his wife's funeral.Elizabeth used her niece, Lily, to settle the scores. Elizabeth and her niece chased my daughter-in-law away from the Parker couple's funeral service.August told me that my daughter-in-law and her uncle were very close, but Elizabeth refused my daughter-in-law to say goodbye to her uncle.I was so angry I wanted to leave, but I stayed out of respect for August.

Mrs Taylor smiled brightly when Xavier and his wife, Avery, walked into the living room and said, "Sweetheart, come and sit beside me." Xavier felt warmth in his heart when he saw that his wife was loved by his family. His wife was everything to him.Avery took her mother-in-law's hands and said, "Mom, we are having dinner with my grandma tonight. I don't want her to hear the news of my marriage from someone else.Even though we will not have dinner at home, I am going to cook something delicious for you, Mom. What do you want to eat, my beautiful Mom?"Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and replied, "Sweetheart, are you not tired?" Avery shook her head and replied, "I took vacation leave today. So, I am not tired. Mom, take this as a token of appreciation for your kindness towards me."Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and replied, "I'm craving Fillet Steak and soft pap, Sweetheart."

Tiffany replied to Lily's text message at 12 pm. Aunt Elizabeth was overjoyed. She took her car keys and went to the Taylor Private Hospital with Lily in tow.When she was knocking at her door, the nurse approached them and asked, "Are you looking for Dr Martins?"Aunt Elizabeth nodded her head and replied, "Yes. Dr Martins is my daughter." The nurse looked at her puzzled, because she heard that Dr Martins and her mother were not close. She told them that Dr Martins had gone home early.Aunt Elizabeth thanked the nurse and went to Avery's apartment. She smiled at the security guard at the gate and said, "I am Avery Martins' mother. Please let us in."The security guard looked at them and replied, "Please call your daughter and ask her to fetch you." Then he ignored them. Avery had blacklisted her mother, Aiden, and her niece's numbers.Last night, Aiden sent Avery's number to his mother's phone. Aunt Elizabeth took her phone from her luxurious Louis Vuitton handbag and dialed Avery's n

Juliet smiled and said, "All is well with us except Tiffany, who has the flu."Elizabeth's voice was full of concern, and she replied, "I wish Tiffany a speedy recovery. Lily told me that Miss Dube refused to sell them the bridal wedding gown. I wanted to approach Miss Dube, but I don't have Tiffany's measurements."Juliet looked at her husband and said, "You know, Elizabeth, I don't support this marriage. Jordan doesn't deserve my daughter. I was over the moon when Tiffany told me that she was being chased out of His Own Image Boutique.Also, their wedding venue deposit was refunded to Jordan. I think this is a sign that they were not meant to be together."Elizabeth was dumbfounded and said, "Juliet, I have to go. Send my regards to Mr Spencer
Xavier kissed his wife on her forehead and walked to the dining room to set the table. Then he went to the kitchen to help his wife.Shortly afterwards, his father-in-law walked into the kitchen smiling from ear to ear. Xavier looked at his father-in-law and said, "Good morning, Dad.

Avery flashed her husband a dazzling smile and asked, "How many children do you want, my love? How soon can we have our baby?" She couldn't wait to hold their bundle of joy in her arms.Xavier smiled broadly and replied, "Giving birth is very painful, my love. We will have our baby when you turn twenty-one. I am very jealous; I don't want to share you with anyone yet."Avery giggled and said, "Honey, initially, I wanted to have four children, but since we have baby Sage as our first daughter, let's have three children."Xavier changed the topic and said, "Sweetheart, I miss you so much."
