Rodney POV
I woke up the following morning with my head pounding very hard. "Agh" I muffled a groan while sitting up on the bed.
Gosh!I hate a hangover.But seriously, how much did I drink last night?I heard a knock on the door. “Just come in,” I groaned inwardly, as I rested my head on the headboard.I glanced up to saw her walking in with a tray in her hands.Huh?What's she doing?She dropped the tray on my nightstand and the scent of the coffee filled my nostril. “Good morning” She greeted with an adoring smile, but I only have a nod. I felt too weak to even utter a word.“I hope you slept well” She asked, and I looked up at her. I just hope I hadn't spurted nonsense last night. “Here, have this” She stretched forth a bottle of pills to me.“This would really help” I slowly collected it from her, lowering my head; deeply ashamed. “Breakfast would be readyAlicia POVI waited impatiently for Mara in the exquisite living room. A maid has gone to fetch her.Isn't she lucky?Any normal lady would definitely tie her down to be in her position. I was still averting my eyes everywhere in complete awe when I suddenly heard footsteps; In a swift, I tilted my head backward to the direction and there she comes, with Rodney behind her.She spotted me and her eyes widened instantly.I sprang on me as I opened my arms widely for her, beaming with happiness. “Alicia” She screamed happily and ran into my openedarms. I missed her so much.She stayed in my embrace while I inhaled her silky smooth hair. Some minutes passed, and we finally disengaged from the hug, tears were rolling down her cheeks already.“Oh no… Princess doesn't cry,” I hushed her, wiping her tears with my right palm.“I missed you so much, Alicia,” Her voice throbbed as she held my hand in her
Tamara POVIt was really a long day.Alicia and I discussed so many things, she also gists me about the new employee.We really had a great time!.We both ate a delicious meal, prepared by the maids; we both walked around the whole mansion; and she wouldn't stop reminding me how lucky I am. She felt so sad after hearing everything, but I still wonder how she's going to react if she ever gets to know all I've gone through in the hands of my Dad.Well, I lied to her that I felt intimidated and left the house without him knowing.I just pray no one ever gets to know about my secret. And my father, I wonder how he's being faring. I thought within myself as I unbind my hair.Sienna POV“Just keep quiet already!” I shut him up after he had finish narrating what he has been up to. “You mean to tell me you have been looking for a girl, I mean, your personal maid for the past few days?” I half yelled and breathe out.
Joanna POV“What's funny, Henry?” I scowled behind them, and they both turned to look at me with a quizzical look on their faces. “What are you doing here?” I asked the crazy blue eyes as I strode towards her.“Are you deaf?” I questioned, I poked her entwined arms. “Miss Joanna, you need to calm down,” Henry coaxed behind me, trying to hold my arm.“Just stay out of this, Henry” I hushed him and moved closer to blue eyes.“You are not going to answer me, huh?” I asked agitated and she scoffed.What the?Unexpected, I grabbed her hair and started pulling it roughly and to my utmost surprise, she didn't hesitate as she began to pull my hair too.F*ck the gut she has!Henry tried pulling us apart, but I didn't budge, likewise blue eyes.I tried bringing her head down, so I could give her the beating of her life; but I guess she was so strong. But nevertheless, I will
Michael Shaw POV“You mean you couldn't locate her?” I asked the two men I ordered to search for Margaret, and they both nodded, looking down at their feet.“You can't possibly tell me that you can't find her, I mean this person comes to this city often so which means she's still somewhere around this country.” I pressed on and they both exchanged a look. “You need to calm down, Mr. Shaw, we are trying our best,” The team leader stated. “Don't try” I half yelled.Goodness!I rubbed my face lightly before turning to their faces again.“Please, give in your possible best,” I told them pathetically, and they both nodded before standing on their feet.“Be rest assured, Mr. Shaw,” The second man assured with a friendly smile.I also stood on my feet and shook hands with them and with that, they turned around to leave.I watched their car till it finally zoomed o
Tamara POVI was lying on the bed, going through one of the magazines I found in the room, a soft knock suddenly came on the door. “Who's it?” I asked, while tossing the paper aside.“It's me” I heard the only voice that's capable of holding my breath and my heart skipped twice. What's he doing here? I thought, while I crawled out of the bed.I adjusted my blouse and strode to the door.I bent the doorknob and yes; he's truly the one.We stared at each other for what seems like forever and finally, I heard him spoke.“Uhm mm… Are you busy?” He asked, rubbing his temple.“No, I am not,” I replied immediately, shaking my head. “If you don't mind, then, would you come with me?” He asked, taking his gaze to the floor; no doubt he was feeling so shy now.But why?“Where?” I questioned, becoming curious; but he only folded his lips.“It's a surprise,&rdq
Tamara POVI kept rolling on the bed, from one edge to the other. Memories with Rodney in the parkwouldn't stop hunting my sleep. He's absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me.I placed my both hands on my cheeks as soon as I remembered that moment, he almost placed his lips on mine.Why did he resist himself?He should have done it; I've been dreaming my whole life how my first kiss would look like.“I really can't wait,” I muttered ecstatically as I wriggle beneath my duvet.I shut my eyes as I tried to get some sleep; still the same.Gosh!I should probably go get some water.Rodney POVI'm really going crazy; I'm losing my mind now. It keeps flashing through my mind; that moment she had her hands rested on my chest at the park. I shove a hand into my hair, she should stop invading my head already.I crawled out of the bed and stood on my feet, I amble towards the mirror and stared at my
Tamara POVI slowly took my seat, waiting patiently for the maid to bring the food. So bad, I was not allowed to do anything.My eyes drifted to the stairs and saw him climbing down the last stair, I felt goosebumps rising in my whole system as I trembled on my seat.Oh, goodness!I thought he was not home.I heard him dragged the chair backward, but I couldn't even glance up, so I just stared down at my feet.“Good morning Beaubelle(Beautiful)” He greeted, and I could feel my cheeks heating up.“Good morning” I replied slowly with my eyes fixed on my feet. “I could tell your night was spectacular from a look at your cheeks,” He teases, and I just smiled, diffidently.I finally looked up to meet his intense gaze on me and last night memory came burning in my head as we stared at each other.Oh Lord,Who created this man?The maid brought in the flatware and placed it carefully on the table,
Tamara POV“Marian, I will be fine,” I assured her for the tenth time.After my encountered with Rodney's mom the other day, I couldn't go to the grocery store again, I had to go back inside.And right now, I really wanted to go to the grocery store, but Marian wouldn't allow me to. “I will be done with the dishes soon; we should go together” She says indifferently and turned to the faucet immediately. I frowned. Why is she like this, huh? “I really can handle it Marian, don't worry” I pout while moving closer to her. She tilted her head to my direction and I quickly flashed her a sweet smile.She heaved a heavy sigh before handing the list to me; together with some cash.“Please don't stay long, ma'am,” She pleaded with a concerned look. I nodded curtly and scurried out the kitchen.I covered my eyes with my hand to prevent the sun from penetrating into my eyes.For goodness’s sake!Were
Rodney POV,Few weeks later…“Hey buddy” I heard from behind and I turned to the person. Jason.I nudged his arm and asked, “How are you, bro?” he nodded. “The decorations are really captivating,” He glanced around the whole hall with admiration.“Yes, it is,” I nodded in agreement as I also watched the men at work. “It's so obvious you really can't wait to confess your love to her,” Jason joked, earning a soft chuckle from my mouth. “To be sincere, I feel so nervous about the whole thing,” I told him, and he laughed silently. “I understand it's your first time Rodney, but you really have to do this before it's too late” He advised.“And remember, I still have my eyes on her” He teases with a knowing smirk on his lips and I couldn't resit the urge to hit his arm as we both laughed out loud.“Uh mm, Jason, don't you think you should come along w
“What?” They all said, simultaneously.“What are you saying, mom?” Rodney asked with a light chuckled as he come closer to me on my seat. “What do you mean, Margaret?” Michael added, and I could feel his eyes on me. I finally looked up after a momentary silence and I met their gazes on me.“I'm sure Margaret told you she had a twin sister,” I told Micheal. He stared at me for a while before nodding his head, I heaved in a long breath. “I'm Madelyn; her twin sister,” I confessed, bringing my face down shamefully.A short silence stepped in;what would they be thinking now? I thought, still not looking up to their faces.“I'm not getting this straight, Margaret, what are you saying?” Michael half yelled as he stood on his feet.I glanced at Rodney stunned face and turned to one of the white couch in the living room, staring blankly at it.I breathe out and made myse
Sienna POV:The unknown guy removes his face cap, and I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my mouth as I trembled on my feet.I murmured. “What?”I glanced at Margaret and caught her smiling to herself. “What are you doing here, Patrick?” I growled at him and then he smiled.“I'm here so serve as the only proof to the whole family” he replied dryly as he looks at everyone faces. Everyone were already standing on their feet, watching the whole drama with keen interest, including few maids.“Tell me you are joking, Patrick” I made to charge towards him, but Margaret stood between my way. “It's over Sienna, just let him speak” She said with a light smirk lingered on her lips.She turned to Patrick and beckoned to him to start talking, and I could feel my heart drop.Is this really happening?“You can't do this to me, Patrick,” I told him, and he bowed his head slightly.
Rodney POVAfter two weeks…I knocked softly on her door, “Mom” I called.“Come on in, son,” I heard her gleeful voice from inside. I bent the doorknob and walked in.She was sitting on the bed with her glasses on.She looked up from the book, I assumed it was a magazine, and smiled at me.“Come on, don't just stand there” She cooed, I smiled widely before walking closer to her on the bed. She tossed the magazine aside and pulled me close to her.I chuckled as I placed my head on her thighs.I watched her as she removed her glasses and dropped it on the nightstand.“Son” She called warmly as she shoved her left hand into my hair, I shut my eyes. “Hm mm” I replied, enjoying her warmth hand in my hair.“Naughty boy” She says and pulled my ear playfully. We remained like that for a few minutes, while stroking my hair tenderly.“Don't you think it
After a long drive, we eventually arrived at our destination. Henry screeched and halted the car, and we both stepped out afterwards.Where's this place?I thought, taking my eyes around the whole place; it was an estate.“Shall we, ma'am?” Henry snapped me out.I forced a small smile before I gave a nod.He walked ahead of me, while I followed behind him, we approached a cottage.Oh, Lord!!What's really happening?Henry climbed the pavements, I stopped walking, feeling so scared. I guess he noticed; because he turned to look at me with a genuine smile on his face.“Don't you trust, Mr. Rodney?” He asked me, warmly. I look forward around the whole surrounding again and breathe out heavily before climbing the pavements.He bent the doorknob and paved the way for me to step in. I took my eyes to his face and he offered a reassuring smile.I finally walked in, and I couldn't help b
The next morning…Rodney took his mom's right hand in his palm, without removing his gaze from her sleeping face. I also watch her on the bed with pure adoration.Yesterday, reconciliation was really touching; I couldn't help but cry along with both mother and son. Rodney wouldn't stop asking for her forgiveness; and she would just smile at him, lovingly.The woman really seems so nice.“Forgive me, mom” I heard him mumbled.I placed my right hand on his back, but he didn't budge, he only watched her face; stroking her right hand tenderly.I heard a soft knock from outside, I slowly stood up to get it; I bent the doorknob as soon as I got to the door and opened it widely for the person.Oh, Joanna!?I was actually thinking it was a nurse.I turned to return into the room, yes; it was a room; I learned it was their personal hospital.I walked back to my previous position, next to Rodney.I watched her as she
Rodney POVI heard Tamara shrieked as soon as she pressed her both hands to her ears.I looked forward from her face, and before I could register what was going on, I quickly placed my legs on the brakes, but it was too late, I had already knocked the woman down with my car.I hurried out of my car with Tamara scuttled behind me, and before I could catch her, she already landed on the floor.I was beyond shocked as soon as I recognized the woman's face, I stood rooted for a while as I watched Tamara rushed to her, I beat her to it, I rushed to her and crouched behind her and lifted her to my chest. I hugged her to myself. “Mom!” I yelled on top of my voice.People were gathered already as they watched the whole scene, while some took their time to record it with their phones, but I was less bothered as at then.Henry would have stopped them had it been he was here. “I'm so sorry, Mom” I wept profusely, she opened her eyes &ldqu
Rodney POV.“Then believe me, your nose is getting broken soon,” I threatened through clenched teeth, while I ambled towards him.He stood properly with his hands in his pocket as we both glared hard at each other. “I hate repeating myself, Jason, where's the girl?” I asked calmly, he chortled. “You are very funny, bro” He nudged my chest, amidst laughter.And immediately he stopped laughing, “You can't just come into my house and order me around, she is mine Rodney, so stay off” He snorted, I let my eyes stayed on his figure while I adjusted my shirt collar. I really don't have the strength to fight him today, I should just go get her myself.I brushed my arm past his to climb the stairs since we were so close to it, but only for him to dragged me by my collar and I couldn't help it any longer. I threw a blow to his face, causing him to land his silly ass on the floor.Good,He groaned inwardly and stru
Tamara POVThe following morning,“Good morning” I greeted Jason with a slight bow, he smirked while gesturing for me to take my seat.“You still want to become my maid, isn't it?” He teases, earning a little smile from my lips.“How was your night?” He asked after I took my seat across him in the dining room, I beamed. “Thank you very much for saving me, I'm deeply grateful,” I told him sincerely, staring at his face.“You shouldn't thank me, I still owe you an apology, you know?” He said in a low voice, more like a whisper, with pleading eyes. I furrowed my brows. “What apology?”“For everything, for being a jerk all those time we spent together; I am truly sorry,” He apologized, his eyes fixed on the flower vase on the dinning table. “It's okay, Mr. Jason” I told him, he frowned, looking cute.“Mr. Jason, Really?” He asks.“Af
