2022-01-07 06:20:47“Hi, Jess.” He greeted his best friend’s wife.
“Hi, best man!” Jessica’s teasing voice came through, making Adam smile. He was the best man during her wedding with his best friend, Oliver, so that has been his nickname since then.
“Hope you’re good?”
“Yeah, thanks. Ollie told me about you needing a nanny. Fortunately, I got one for you.”
“Thank you so much, Jess,” Adam said immediately.
Jessica smiled. She could hear the relief in his voice.
“You’re welcome. I spoke to a friend whose cousin owns a nanny agency. Fortunately, they had someone available but the salary is higher than the usual”
“That’s not a problem. I’m willing to pay anything.” Adam interrupted.
“You don’t need to worry about her ability. She has good recommendations from her past employers. She’s one of the best staff in the agency and the reason you got this lucky is that her past employers are relocating to another country. So you have nothing to worry about. Your children are in safe hands.”
“I honestly didn’t want to get involved because of Tessie’s history of maltreating your domestic staff but Ollie promised me that such will never repeat itself.”
“Yes, Jess. That’s a promise from me to you guys. I’ve warned Tessie. When will She begin work?”
“Today. She should be getting ready to leave for your place by now. I’ve gone through the agency’s sample contract and it’s fair enough. The nanny will come along with the original contracts for you. There’s usually a strict procedure as to how things are done but it's this flexible because of my friend.” Jessica said.
“I understand, Jess. Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate,”
“You’re welcome. I have to get back to work now. Let me know if you need anything.”
“Sure, thanks.” Adam ended the call.”

“Are you leaving for work, Daddy?” Calvin asked with a sad face the moment Adam returned and sat beside him.
“No, why do you ask?”
“You promised you were going to spend the day with me. I thought you were about to break your promise.”
With a small sad smile on Adam’s face, he slowly caressed his son’s cheek. “No, buddy, I’ll be spending the day with you and your sister.”
“I also know that I haven’t been spending much time with you and Anna. I’m sorry about that. Work can be very demanding but I promise to create time for you all.”
“You will come home early to play with us?” Calvin asked with a wide smile. Adam didn’t fail to notice the glint of happiness in his son’s eyes and that left him guilty. He couldn’t help but think that he and Tessie deserved nothing but hatred from their children because they’ve been nothing but shitty parents who were hardly there for them.
Due to Adam’s position in the company, the bulk of the work was always on him and knowing he wouldn’t always be there for his kids, he had always ensured to get them a caring nanny.
“Yes, my love. As long as I’m not away on a business trip, I’ll make sure I come back from work on time to play with you and Anna.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Calvin hugged him.
Adam smiled, returning the hug.
“Jessica has gotten you and your sister a new nanny.” Adam said to his son the moment they pulled away from the hug.
“Will she be nice like Martha? Will She love me and Anna?” The little boy asked hopefully.
“I have a feeling She will be nice since Jessica is the one who got her for us. And I really hope she treats you and Anna well. She will be joining us in a few hours. We will observe her for a few days and you will tell me what you think about her. If you like her, we will keep her and if you don’t, we will get someone else.”
Calvin nodded.
“Can I have more juice, please?” Calvin asked, giving his Dad a puppy dog look.

LATER IN THE EVENING
Adam was in the living room spending some quality time with his kids when the sound of the doorbell came through. Making sure Anna was well guarded where She was seated, Adam excused himself, then went to answer the door.
Sleeves froze the moment he came face to face with the person on the other side. For the first couple of seconds, he forgot how to breathe as he did nothing but stare in disbelief.

Even though the last time he saw her was when they were teenagers, heaven knew he couldn’t go wrong with her identity. The petite teenager he was very fond of had grown into a beautiful woman. Normal height, her then skinny body was now replaced with well-defined curves which were evident from her knee-length dress. She still maintained her dark wavy hair and even though it’s been years, her face still remained the same, except for the fact that she looked even more beautiful.“Kara????!!!” Adam whispered, not believing the fact that the face that has haunted him in his sleep for over ten years was now looking him back in the eye.“Good evening, Sir, I’m here to see Mr Sleeves.” She said in a professional tone, soun

Adam felt Helen freeze under him because She was taken aback by his actions but Adam couldn’t care less. She was not giving him any entrance so he did what he had to. He used his left hand to hold her hands still over her head and then grabbed her ass with his right hand.Helen unconsciously gave him the entrance he needed as She let out a small yelp. Adam wasted no time in kissing her. A little forced but passionate one. The moment he noticed Helen fighting him, to get out of his hold, he let go of her.

LATER IN THE AFTERNOON“So, that’s all I’m faced with. You all should tell me what to do because I don’t know how much longer I can keep calm.” Adam said, massaging his temple with his left hand. He was seated on a couch across from Oliver and his wife, Jessica.“I honestly had no idea She was related to you, Adam. I’m so sorry.” Jessica’s remorse voice came through.“You’ve got nothing to be sorry for, Jess. I think I should be thanking you instead. You have no fucking idea how far I went in searching for her. It was as if She disappeared from the face of the earth. I couldn’t

Kara sighed, slightly giving up because she knew she was also at fault.“Forgive me too for keeping something important away from you. I should have let you know my view about us having a baby too soon.” “Come over here!” Adam gestured for her to come closer to him and she did just that. He placed a soft kiss on her lips, caressing her cheek. “Please let’s forget about the past. I promise not to hide anything from you again or give you any form of silent treatment.” “Me too.” “The baby, thank you.” He smiled, looking down at her belly.Katherine chuckled, “It takes two to make a baby.” “I know. It’s just amazing to know we are going to have a child together again. It’s something I’ve secretly wished for. I was not there when you were pregnant with Annie, I wasn’t on good terms with Tessie so I didn’t experience much during Calvin’s pregnancy, we had Anna through surrogacy so this is going to be like my first time, experiencing everything step by step with the woman I love most in

Once Seth drove away with Annie in the car, Adam made his way to his car where Zane was waiting for him. He occupied himself with his thoughts as Zane drove.Everything had been perfect. So perfect that Adam couldn't believe life could be this sweet and fulfilling. Kara and his kids were no doubt the best thing to ever happen to him. Tessie got a well deserved judgment of three years imprisonment with a permanent restraining order to stay away from Adam and his family. Adam's Sisters and parents never troubled anymore because of the court's order and Annie's adopted parents had their own fair share of punishment by the court. He won every lawsuit against Tessie's parents and his father with regards to the company which he still successfully runs. Soon enough, they arrived at their little mansion, their home. It took three months for the Sleeves to get their present residence but Adam couldn’t help but think that it was worth it. They didn’t want a place that was too big or too sm

As promised, Annie helped Katherine in getting Anna ready after which she went to get ready. Soon enough they were all downstairs, ready for school and having breakfast. Annie did her best in making lively conversations to ease her mother’s mood which she actually achieved. She also assisted in feeding her baby sister. Once the children were done with their food, Kara packed their lunch bag. “Zane took your Dad to work. Unfortunately, I’m not in the mood to drive so I guess we will all be leaving with Seth.”“Seth will drive. We will drop Anna and Calvin first, then drop you at school after which he will bring me back home.” “You look so tired. I’m sure you didn’t have any sleep last night. Why don’t you stay at home and rest? I’ll take care of my siblings. We will drop Anna and Calvin first, then Seth will drop me off at school.” “Are you sure? My head pounds like crazy but this is something I can manage to do.” “It’s fine, Mom. I’ll take care of today.” Annie assured. Once re

Epilogue 12 months later Katherine slowly opened her eyes, coming face to face with the cold and empty space beside her. Despite how heavy her head was, She knew she needed to get up and start her day. She eventually had the strength to get out of bed after staring at the ceiling for a couple of minutes. Before going into the bathroom, Kara reached for her phone on the nightstand. She unlocked it, then went to her message app. Staring at the receiver’s space, being unsure as to whether to send the message or not, She finally found the courage to do so with shaky hands. “Good morning, baby. What do you want for breakfast?” Seeing that the message had been delivered, Kara placed her phone back on the nightstand, then went to the bathroom to do her morning ritual. She dried her body, changed into a brown sundress, then brushed her hair.Returning to the bedroom, Kara proceeded to the nightstand where her phone was. Her heart fell when she didn’t see notifications of any replied mes

Just as promised, Adam ensured they all went out for breakfast. They did some grocery shopping before coming back home. Once home, Calvin suggested they all went for a swim. That was when they realized Annie couldn’t swim. She mostly watched the others have fun but Kara made her come into the water too, teaching her a few strokes. Adam made a mental note to register her for swimming lessons. Shortly after The Sleeves had lots of food, snacks, and drinks delivered at their doorstep, their guests arrived. “Uncle Adam!” Evan ran towards his godfather the moment the door was opened. Adam chuckled, picking up the little boy, showering his face with kisses, making him giggle. “I missed you, Uncle Adam.” “I missed you too, buddy.” “Where’s Calvin?” “In the living room. You wanna go meet him.” Evan nodded eagerly. Adam kissed his forehead, then placed him on his feet after which Evan ran into the living room. “Holy shit, Jess.” Adam’s lips curved into a genuine smile when he saw her

Adam sleeves woke up feeling really pumped. Just like how he had been for the past few days. He couldn’t believe it was possible to experience ease, happiness, peace of mind and so much joy after living a life filled with nothing but sadness.Waking up every day to his family was the sweetest part of Adam’s life. He couldn’t get enough of Kara and those little humans God blessed him with. Unconsciously, he found himself looking forward to spending every hour of the day with them. Adam knew he had to return to work eventually but he knew it wasn’t going to be anytime soon. For now, the feeling of missing a thing that goes on with his family doesn’t sit well with him. Sleeves chuckled quietly as he watched Katherine snuggle closer to him. They were both naked under the sheets. He couldn’t help but think that there was nothing more fulfilling than falling asleep together and waking up in each other’s arms. He couldn’t believe this was the feeling he had been deprived of for years. Car

Adam sleeves wasn’t someone that was into Shopping. He said would rather have people do them for him. But seeing the gorgeous smile on his beautiful daughter's face while buying stuff for her was so fulfilling. He bought everything She needed and a lot more. They got stuff for Kara too, as well as Calvin and Anna. The last stop was the apple shop. Annie wanted just one device but Adam made sure she got multiple. An iPhone, iPad, a MacBook as well as necessary accessories. Kara got an iPad too. They had lunch at a very reputable restaurant not far from the mall after which they went home. Adam was able to avoid being recognized by using his disguised shades. It was only at the point of payment that every cashier knew it was him. Once they got home and put everything they brought away, Adam and Annie left to pick up Calvin. “Having a good time?” Adam said to his daughter the moment he drove out of the mansion. “Yes.”“Thank you.” “For the stuff I got you?” He asked, taking a glan

“I’ll be right back,” Adam said, excusing himself.Stepping into the living room, he answered the call. “Good day, Mr sleeves.” The not-so-familiar feminine voice came through. “Good day, Alicia. How may I help you?” He asked, politely. “Actually, Sir, I apologize for wanting to have this discussion over the phone when it should be done face to face.Adam ran a hand over his face, already having an idea of what was going to come out of Alicia’s mouth. “We are deeply sorry about Helen’s behavior. I’m quite shocked too because she’s our best staff and never have we had any bad report about her. We are deeply sorry, Mr. Sleeves. We can issue a refund if you want. But please don’t let this go public. It will ruin the Agency’s reputation and the employment of other employees.” Adam exhaled. “Tessie came to you, Didn’t she?” “She reached out to us on the phone.” “So what did she say?” “She said Helen has been nothing but a disaster since she came into your home. She never takes goo

Pulling away from the hug, Adam and Katherine noticed that their daughter’s eyes were filled with tears. Before they could both say anything, a tear rolled down Annie’s cheek which She wiped away immediately with the back of her palm. “What’s wrong, love?” Kara voiced out, moving closer to her daughter. “Did I do anything to hurt you?” Adam whispered, wondering what went wrong. Annie sniffled, shaking her head. “I never got the chance to call you 'Daddy' or know you better and I saw that lady almost kill you.” “My love,” He raised Annie’s chin so she could meet his gaze. “I’m not going anywhere. Not now or ever. This is where I belong. With you, your mom, and your siblings.” “You have nothing to be afraid of. No one is going to take your Daddy away from you. That lady will definitely be jailed. She won’t come back into our lives. I promise you.” “Please, be careful, Daddy.” She whispered, looking at him with pleading eyes. Adam smiled. It felt so good hearing his almost teenage
