Remon James called out to Abby as she ran into the airport but she didn't reply so he bent down to pick up the code wallet which was on the floor. 

" This must possessed a lot of dollars " He said aloud to himself as he stare at the flash drive - like wallet in his palm. He would love to be home, in his bed with Maya his four years old daughter but he found himself dashing into the airport in search of the black, nervous Lady. 

He walk around for a while and finally gave up the search as he walk Back to his car and drove off speedily to Miss Foley's home to take his only daughter. 

Right after the divorce from his wife Ashley, Remon was granted full custody of Maya but not without a clause that Ashley would spend all weekends with her. 

He alighted as he reached Mr Foley's home and gave the door a knock, it took a while before the elderly woman open the door smiling at the wet Remon. 

" I'm sorry, i was held up at work ' He apologize to Miss foley before staring pass her in search of Maya. 

" I need to speak with you Remon, I'm closing up the house in a week's time so i think you should find a new nanny for your daughter as soon as possible " Miss foley replied him smiling wanly.

The new information only makes Remon feel nervous, he has always been a workaholic. Eversince Ashley left him with a divorce papers he has sworn not to remarry or fall in love again but only to focus on his beautiful black haired daughter.

Now that Miss foley who has been Maya's nanny said she would be leaving the job Remon guess he has no other choice than to employ a new one.

" Daddy , you are here " Maya said aloud running towards Remon who spread his arms to received his Happy daughter.

" Of course I'm here princess " He replied after lifting maya into his arms. The four years old lass wrapped her hands around her father's neck in excitement.

" Dad , you are wet. Aren't you cold ? " Maya asked slowly but her father laughs softly.

" I'm fine since my princess is here " He replied cooing. " I will call you tomorrow Miss foley, good night " He said to the woman who smile brightly at the father and daughter. 

She as well knows the story of how Ashley has been caught right on remon's bed with a man making out. 

Remon who has been so shock at the Encounter was however ready to forgive his wife whom he had been married to for five years but little did he know that Ashley has gone wild. 

To Remon's horror Ashley has returned a sunny day with the divorce papers saying she would released the child for him. Ashley has walk out of his life since that day and then had appear six months Later. That was after she divorce her new husband who was nothing but a drunkard, begging Remon to take him back was very much impossible so she demanded for her daughter which she would never have.

The fight took them into the court where after couples of weeks Remon was finally granted the custodian position while Ashley was said to spend the weekends with Maya. 

Not that she was even serious about the young girl though because after she lost the legal battle to Remon, she finally got herself tangled with another man who run a tea shop in the heart of Louisiana. 

" What should we eat for dinner Maya? Right now I'm craving for my bed " Remon says as he alighted from his car with his daughter in his arm. 

He was very much tired and as usual since he knew he won't have the strength to cook any meals , he had branched his favourite restaurant where he had his dinner to his fill. 

" I have eaten at Miss Foley's home dad. Since you are tired, how about you go to bed? " Maya replied innocently earning a grin from the handsome man.

" Alright, let's get you into bed " He said walking into Maya's room which was filled with numerous teddy bears and pink pillows. 

Remon sighed when he realized the next day would be Saturday , meaning Ashley would come to take away Maya again. 

He finally tucked his daughter into bed and sat at the edge of the bed, staring at her.

" Would you like me to read you a bedtime story? " He offered when Maya keeps mute. He knew his little girl never love her mother. 

Whenever she got back from the weekend holidays Remon would always brace himself up for her complains.

" Can you tell mum to stop coming? I know she will appear Tomorrow again. " Maya told her dad gently. Remon reached out to pat his daughter on the hand. 

" She isn't so bad Maya, she is just so tired. How about we have this conversation tomorrow, good night " He said and quickly stood on his feet.

" Good night Daddy " The girl replied dropping her eyelids. Remon sighed at the doorway before switching off the light. 

He walk to the bar beside the kitchen and pour himself a drink. Thinking hard about how fast his relationship with Ashley has begun seven years ago. They had meet at the prom night and had fallen in love at once, so it seems for the chocolate colored man who later finds out Ashley was pregnant with his daughter. 

Thinking the love between them is real, his was real though but Ashley who has been cheating on him had never love Remon one bit. He married her immediately and Maya was born. 

Excited and grateful was Remon when he first laid his eyes on his first child who took after his skin color and thick hair. 

It has break and shattered his heart when he had caught Ashley on their matrimonial bed making out with a man but after giving it much thought he was ready to forgive her for the sake of their daughter but he realized he was only imagining the impossible when Ashley demand for divorce. 

Infuriated by the shameless acts of his once beloved wife, Remon signed the divorce papers in annoyance. 

Thinking he was finally free when Ashley failed to appear for over six months, he realized again he was wrong when she returns with a pleading face . Begging Remon to take her back but that was like drumming into a deaf ear because Remon never listen to her plea. Not even once.

Broken and rejected by the society and people around, Ashley took the fight to court where she lied and lied but eventually at the end she lost the legal case woefully. 

Remon walk into his room and switched on the light. 

He thrust a hand into his pocket and brought out the code wallet. Staring at it he sighed softly.

" She must be in a bind looking for this, i will keep it safe for her. If fate would be Mercy enough for us to cross paths i shall return it to her " He said aloud to himself before dropping the code wallet into the drawer beside his bed. 

He then walk into his bathroom to take a bath and then prepare for bed but not before he posted that he needed a Nanny for his lovely daughter. Maya.
