Bianca felt as if the world had just stopped at that point in time. Panic welled all through her body! Her eyes searched the whole room, she soon kept opening the wardrobe and cupboard just in case the little girl was hiding around. She moved close to the window and to her relief she noticed Anna sauntering towards the gate. She was already dressed in a pink gown and a flowery ribbon as she clutched on her little doll. Anna couldn't afford to be sacked on the first day of her job. She had been in charge of the little girl just a few minutes ago and now she was already losing Anna from her sight. She ran downstairs as Ms. Kevin emerged from behind. “Anna?” Bianca called, moving to hug her tightly. “Where do you think you are going to go? I mean the world outside is dangerous, baby!” Bianca muttered to the girl who kept describing things with her hand. “She wants to go to the hospital to see her mother,” Ms. Kevin explained, making Bianca clasps Anna's tiny hands into her huge ones.
Felix shoved the table backward as his chair slid close to the window. He spun his chair playfully until he was facing the window view, he stared at the beautiful and busy streets of New york. He noticed some beggars trying to earn a decent living without trying to steal. The sky looked a bit dark and cloudy like it would rain anytime soon. He turned back to his desk before looking at all the workload he had, he had worked hard for his company but things weren't going the way he wanted. He felt like he needed to pay for his sins, he was keeping a secret that he hadn't told anybody. Yes! His wife was someone he never expected that she would die soon and that had put him down but something else was weighing him more. He knew he wasn't going to pay for his sins on earth but in the hereafter, he knew he was going to hell. He knew he was never going to be forgiving but would the person he had sinned against forgive him for such a crime he had committed? Getting up from his seat, Felix b
Felix was back from a successful board meeting ever since the death of his wife. It wasn't the best board meeting he had attended but better than the ones he had conducted for two years, he walked to his office to drop off some files when he noticed the envelope His secretary had promised to drop. Growling in both frustration and tiredness. Felix stuck the envelope inside his suitcase before striding to turn off the light, everywhere had gone dark and everyone was going home already. Felix took in some breaths before sauntering into the elevator. It was time to go back home! There was much time to check the envelope to see if Miss Ferguson had any hidden secret. His car was waiting for him in front of his company's building when he stepped out of the existing door. The guard nodded at him which he returned with a simple wave. Felix slipped into the back of his car before sinking into the chair, he was tired and needed some sleep but could he even do that? “Home, please Fabian,” he
Felix entered his room before switching on the light. He stared at his bed as a memory of him coming back home tired and exhausted from work filled his memory. His wife who seems dressed in her skimpy nightwear tends to remove all stress. He ruffled his hair before pulling out his tie. A smile plastered on his face when he remembered his daughter's smiling a while ago, Felix could barely remember the last time he spent time with his kids, just like what he had seen Anna doing with Bianca. Reality hit him hard like he was being punched in the face. His daughter was three years old when everything had happened and his eldest daughter was thirteen, his son was fifteen but it still felt like yesterday when everything happened. Anna had always had bad dreams at night and wouldn't let anybody hold her, she only wanted her mother at that point in time but after a year she had allowed him to hug her again when she had bad nightmares.Felix dropped his briefcase beside his bed before plumpi
The sunlight cast itself on Bianca's face through the curtain which drew her from her sleep, groaning loudly. Her eyes lit up as she stood up before stretching her body. She stared at the floor she was laying on to notice Anna beside her. How did she get here? She pulled the duvet over the sleeping Anna. Bianca tried to remember what she was dreaming about but after thinking deeply she had lost everything after she woke up. This was the first time Bianca was sleeping peacefully without people coming at her for their debt or her landlord disrupting her sleep for their late payment of house rent. The night had been nice. She moved downstairs to notice Felix and Fiona having breakfast, “Good morning sir, ” she mumbled before entering the kitchen to help Ms. Kevin out. “First time, I mean Anna hasn't slept this well for a long time,” Ms. Kevin let out, switching off the cooker. “Morning Nanny but I don't think it's because of me, maybe she had been neglected that's why she felt alone, ”
Bianca stared at Felix before staring back at Anna. “We have a contract to sign today, ” he let out again, making her nod. *********An hour later, Bianca was dressed in a fancy gown with her hair tied in a ponytail and flat shoes to go. It was the first time she was setting foot out of the wealthy home of her boss. She noticed that Felix enjoyed having full security in his house, and most especially privacy. Bianca likes staying with Anna but she wished she had someone to talk to always, not like staying with the five-year-old was boring but she needed someone to share her problems with. She moved outside the huge gate as the breeze slammed her exposed skin. She strode to the main highway so she could board a taxi to take her into town. She stopped the taxi before sliding in, “where to Mam?” the taxi driver asked. “Town,” she mumbled, making him nod before putting the engine to life.Throughout the ride, exhaustion filled Bianca's body. She was meeting her Crush of twenty years,
“I’m sorry Jasper. This was supposed to be some celebration but you know how I tend to get emotional quickly, ” she let out pulling her hand from his grip. She could feel the cracks in her voice but she needed to drop the sympathy that was building up.“Thank you for the meal, I better get going, Jasper! My boss is like some strict soldier and quite grumpy,” she let out standing up. “But we haven't caught up enough?” Jasper let out with a pale face. “We can see each other again, meanwhile you did mention that you work here,” she let out, making him nod. “I can drop you off?” he offered but Bianca wiggled her head, she wouldn't want her boss to think the worst of her. “No Jasper, I would be fine! I would call you when I get home,” Bianca muttered out, she hurried out of the building before Jasper could stop her. Bianca soon mingled herself among the busy people trying to get to work or doing every possible best to earn a living. For a while, she needed to be alone and away from real
It has been a week since that incident but Felix could feel all of Bianca's face clouding his brain and thought. He felt that touch clasping into his body and memory which made him not to forget every single detail. Instantly, Felix felt guilt all over again, he knew Bianca was being nothing but an excellent worker but he couldn't stop this thought from tripping in.His thought wandered back to the reaction she gave towards him a week ago. FLASHBACK“Are you okay? I mean you caught me before I could fall off, thank you so much, sir. I did fall on you heavily, are you hurt?” Bianca asked him with care all over her voice, Felix didn't want to be the only one noticing the care she was given but he couldn't help it. He noticed the fallen hair in front of her eye and he wished he could push that hair behind her ear. “I’m fine, thank God you had no injuries,” Felix let out rolling his eyes. He strode towards her before lifting her chin so she could meet his gaze.He knew that was unusual.
Bianca woke up to a bright morning but she couldn't help but notice Mitchell, she seemed busy on her phone and she kept calling Alex's name while she kept placing the phone on her ear.It seemed like he wasn't picking and that had kept her on the edge.“This is Alex, leave a message!” the phone uttered.“Alex, this is Mitchell and I think you should call me back when you get this. Bye!” Michelle said a little frustrated.Bianca's attention was diverted the minute her phone began to buzz uncontrollably in her bag. She rubbed her eyes before tapping on the answer button of her phone, “I’m sorry Ethan but I can not meet up with you because my boss wouldn't allow me, I’m truly sorry okay!” Bianca said on the other line while his boss trudged down the stairs.“Alright, bye Ethan!” she said before hanging up.She twirled around to notice her boss. “Okay Bianca, you can meet up with him!” Felix simply said.“Sir?” Bianca said, wondering if she had just heard her boss quite well. “You want
Bianca was in the kitchen trying to bake some cupcakes before she was distracted by both Daniella and Ria.“Uhmmm Bianca, can you ask the person who is eating across you if she is done? You see that I’m almost done watching the dishes and right now I’m just waiting for her plate and utensil!” Daniella said to Bianca who gaped at Ria who was eaten slowly like a snail. “Okay!” Bianca responded nonchalantly.“She is taking so long and I can’t finish my work early!” Daniella added.“Ria, Daniella want to know if you are not yet done with…” Bianca said but stopped half way.“Hold on, what’s happening? Is your war not over yet?” Bianca asked, staring at both of them in amusement. “She is the one ignoring me, she is so full of it!” Ria said with a scoff while she continued eating.Bianca kept breathing the agonizing and quiet atmosphere but she seemed tired of it.“Guys, Daniella and Ria, could the both of you just stop whatever you are doing already?” Bianca pleaded with the both of them
The flowers which Bianca's boss had given to her the other day had begun to facilitate and Bianca couldn't help but seem worried. She had been in the kitchen trying very hard to at least revive some part of the flower while she lamented worriedly. “My beautiful flowers, please don't perish just yet!” she said in a sad tone.“You can't stop that anymore, why don't we just cook that!” Ria who was wiping the glass cup clean.“What's wrong with you Ria, this ain't some vegetable,” Bianca simply told her.“Bianca, I’m looking for the wiper, have you seen it?” Daniella who had walked into the kitchen asked but she instantly frowned the moment her eyes met with Ria's.She huffed angrily before twirling around to leave.“Hey, Daniella?” Ria called but she was ignored. “What's going on? Are you guys having a fight again?” Bianca asked Ria who ignored her.“Hey, you guys better make peace because this is not good!” Bianca said, spraying the flowers.“Hey, Bianca?” Mitchell said the moment sh
The pizza had arrived and everyone was seated on the dining chair while they all had some pizza and Milkshake together.“Felix, look at their nails and how pretty they look?” Mitchell said excitedly. She raised her milkshake while her lips drew some long sips before gaping at Felix for a response,“It's a trendy thing called nail art!” She said the moment she dropped the milkshake on the table. “Oh, don't tell me you don't like it?” Mitchell asked when she noticed his odd-looking expression.“No, I like clean plain nails!” he responded while he stared at both Bianca's and Fiona's painted nails. “Eat some more baby!” Bianca said to Anna who nodded before taking a huge bite.“I honestly think that they are cute and you are only jealous!” Mitchell said. Meanwhile, Ria held Bianca's phone while she chuckled hard as the phone kept ringing. “Uhmm, but excuse me everyone!” she said respectfully before turning to face Bianca.“Bianca, your phone has been beeping non-stop. It's Ethan!” Ria
Ethan rubbed his aching neck while he gripped the flowers in his hands tightly. He had been standing at the huge security gate for hours while he pleaded to be allowed in but the men refused blatantly but he seemed not to be giving up. “Sir, I just want to talk to my old friend. Common, please!” Ethan pleaded.“We can't just allow anybody inside because we weren't informed!” the security personnel continued.“Sir please, I just want to talk with my friend because I do not have any means!” Ethan begged but he was asked to wait until the moment a car stopped by the gate. Luckily enough, it was Felix who had just gotten back from work and was about to go home. “Good evening sir?” The security guard had greeted Felix who responded. “There is someone here to visit Bianca but she didn't mention anything like that to us,” The security guard told Felix whose expression instantly turned to that of curiosity. “One moment Sir,” the guard said before going over to where Ethan stood patiently
The spa date has started and the workers are doing their best to make them feel very comfortable. From the massage to the hair and nails technician.“It's a good thing that we had set this thing at home Fiona because it's so peaceful and quiet!“ Mitchell said while she nodded.“Yes aunt, it's also relaxing!” Fiona added while they gave her shoulders some nice massage. “Hey everyone!” Bianca said the moment she walked inside.“Hey Bianca, you made it. Could you also attend to her also!” Mitchell told them. “Careful!” she said to Bianca who took a seat. “Do you know what Bianca? It's so nice here and very relaxing.” Mitchell said while they took care of her hair.Bianca chuckled a little bit before responding.“Oh, Mam Mitchell, what's the matter because you sound like you are under a lot of stress!” Bianca said still chuckling.“Yes definitely, I really am stressed!” Mitchell simply said as a cheeky smile spread across her pouty lips.Bianca briskly brought out her beeping phone bef
Ria placed a small knock on Felix's office door before walking inside, she took a deep breath while adjusting the length of her gown. “Excuse me, sir?” Ria said,“Here is your coffee!” she said smiling when her boss had left what he was doing to stare at her. “Why were you the one who brought this?” Felix asked, before rubbing his hair which looked slicked in the gel. Ria seemed to be trembling a little as she bowed her head down a little.“Whatttt?” Ria responded in a stutter.“Where is Bianca?” He asked while he eyed Ria weirdly.“You see sir,” Ria said scrunching her nose with a shaky breath,“Tell me, is she avoiding me Ria?” he asked plainly.“Oh you see, it’s just like this, Sir Felix you should take your coffee before it gets cold!” Ria said leaving her boss’s office briskly without looking back. Felix Furrowed his eyebrows before nodding slightly.The moment Bianca had noticed that Ria was out of her boss’s office, she instantly walked up to her. “Hey Ria, what did the boss
“Baby, this one is just easy. Which one of the following objects is square in nature?” Mitchell asked the little girl who quickly pointed at the right answer. “Great, very good because that is square!” Michelle said before applauding her who smiled happily. A knock soon appeared on the door before it pulled open. “Bianca!” Michelle said with a wide smile. “Miss Mitchell, thank you very much for today!” Bianca thanked.“So, tell us everything in detail. What happened?” Michelle asked with curiosity.“I think everything has gone well but the only trouble is how to figure out his mood!” Bianca said and that had confused Mitchell for a second.“What do you mean?” she decided to question further. “You see, sir Felix is truly like that. Is like he has a modification of history mood all the time. One time he is angry and the other he is either grumpy, nice, or happy! Am sure that you know that?” Bianca said.“Common, I don't care about Felix, I mean Ethan. How did it go?” Mitchell asked
Bianca had been explaining everything to Ethan, she knew that her father would never be in support of her working for anyone as a maid because of what had transpired with her eldest sister before her death. “That is exactly what happened, I even signed a contract of agreement with my boss!” she explained to Ethan. “Does your father know about this?” he asked but Bianca wiggled her head.“He doesn't know anything yet but I beg you. Promise me that you wouldn't tell my father about this because many things depend on this work of mine, please promise me!” Bianca pleaded.“I hope that we would see each other again because I truly need to understand what you are doing here and what happened to you initially!” he said,“Well, I need to ask for my boss's permission first!” Bianca told him.“Can we at least go out?” Ethan asked.“That would depend on if my boss would allow me to go!” Bianca said.“What about a date?” Ethan asked further, Felix's car soon halted beside them, “That would als
