Chapter Eleven Zane still sat there with Naevia, talking about her work in the living room. Naevia stayed quiet and planted a fake smile at every statement Zane made. She wasn't comfortable with the sudden closeness. "I'm glad you're accepting this place as your new home. Never thought I'll see this day so soon," Zane said and chuckled. Naevia doesn't chuckled but faces the other way. She wanted this strange discussion to end soon and fast. All she wanted was a relaxing time alone in the garden. Ever since she got to know about the garden and felt how the wind relates with it, Naevia had come to love the grass decorated garden. But now she was loosing her relaxing moment because of Zane. Fed up of the strange attitude, Naevia rose immediately and said, "I have something to attend to." She walked away quickly. Zane had looked at her when she rose up from the bench. He noticed the strange expression on her face but thought he was the one making it up since it was night and dark alr
Naevia stood close to the door. She had her eyes on both Zane and his guard. Both Zane and his guard stared at Naevia back. Zane was very upset with Naevia for all she had said and also her stubbornness. He didn't want her in his study room nor does he want to see her face. Naevia glanced at the guard then at Zane. "Can we talk?" She requested. Zane kept on glaring at Naevia. He took a quick look at the guard and signalled him to leave. The guard understood and immediately took his leave. Naevia watched the guard leave the study room. The guard exited the room before she faced Zane fully. "So you said you want to talk. I bet you're here to insult me and remind me of the meaning of our relationship. That's the only thing you're good at after all," Zane said angrily. He turned his back at Naevia and went back to sit on his sofa. Naevia could sense the anger in Zane. She thought of Kelvin's words and sighed. Squeezing her hands into a fist and reminding herself that she's at fault
Night had fallen, it was time for Zane to have his meal and go off to bed, since he didn't have much to do. He didn't go anywhere throughout the day. He stayed home doing his works from his comfort zone. He still haven't forgotten what Naevia did to him. Even though she apologized for her mistake and wrongdoing, Zane was finding it hard to accept her apologizes. Anytime he thought about her words in the bedroom last night, he ends up getting upset. He tried to get it out of his head but couldn't. "Your dinner is ready Master," a maid announced to Zane. Zane was at the living room when the maid came to inform him that his food was ready in the dining room. "I'll be there," he said and waved to the maid, who bowed and left. Immediately the maid left his presence, Zane placed both hands on the couch and lifted himself up. His hand felt the softness of the couch he was sitting on. Zane paused and glanced at it. This brought Naevia's image to his head again. He groaned and diverted
During that night, Naevia couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning around on her bed. Her mind wasn't at rest. "Come on Naevia. Try to sleep. I know you can," she encouraged herself while laying face up immediately, staring at the ceiling. Naevia groaned and turned over to her left side. Grabbing a pillow and covering her head frustratedly. "I don't know why I keep on seeing that horrible night in my sleep," she muttered under the pillow. Naevia's mood became dull. She sighed and closed her eyes. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep. "Naevia! Naevia my girl, come please," a female's voice called out to her. Naevia's eyes twitched at the sound of the voice. She squeezed herself hard right there on the bed. "I'm coming mother," she answered the voice's call. It turns out that Naevia was dreaming. In her dream, her mother was calling out to her to come and play with her toy. It was morning in the dream. Naevia's mother was in the living room of Naevia's father's mansion. She ha
Naevia helped Zane to get into bed. She took off his shoes and placed them aside on the ground. She sighed and looked at the sleeping man on the bed. He was fast asleep, not knowing what was happening. Naevia smiled when she stared at him and thought about the little romance between the both of them. Though she was enjoying the arousing, Naevia couldn't accept Zane wholeheartedly. She reminded herself about Zane and her father's cunning plan in getting her married to him. That action alone didn't allow her to accept Zane fully or rather completely. She just couldn't do it. She sighed and climbed the bed. Dragging herself towards Zane and taking hold of his shirt. "Alright sleepy boss...It's time for this shirt to come off ." Naevia placed her hands on Zane's buttons and undid them. She turned Zane over and took his shirt off. Tossing the shirt on her side of the bed. She glanced at Zane's body and noticed his muscular and hunky curves showing through his singlet. She stared at
"Thank you Zane. One way or another, I'm going to get rid of Nisha. She'll be out of here," Naevia assured Zane. " And I know that you don't like Nisha. You can even kill her if I wasn't present. But as a gentleman, I'd be happy if you could control your temper around her. Don't show your anger around her. Leave the work to me Zane, " Naevia cautioned Zane with a little and simple advice. Pleased, Zane gave Naevia his support to the plan. "I trust you Naevia. I know you'll get to the bottom of this," Zane supported her. He shook her hands lightly and let go of them gently. Naevia felt happy with Zane's gesture. She crossed her arms behind her back and smiled at Zane. "I'll get ready now. Had to rush out because of the noises I was hearing downstairs. Excuse me please," Zane excused himself and rushed right straight into the bathroom. Immediately he exited the room for the bathroom, Naevia's smiling and bold face suddenly turned all sad and bitter. She thought about what Nisha sai
Later on, Naevia arrived with a bowl of hot soup for Nisha. She got close to the door, opened it and stepped into the room."Here's your soup Nisha. This will help you feel better, especially the little one," Naevia said, looking right at Nisha.She found Nisha laying on the bed with her back and facing the ceiling. She was groaning and rubbing her tummy."Oh, Naevia! You're here," Nisha said, lifting herself up from the bed and sitting on it."I was resting my body as well as my tummy. Didn't want the baby to end up in a bad position, so I laid that way. I was told to lie that way to keep my baby strong and safe," Nisha explained to Naevia and smiled."That's good dear. I'm glad you're taking note of all these important things. You're such a wonderful mother," Naevia commented. Dropping the bowl of soup on the bedside table and sitting on the bed with Nisha.Nisha blushed at Naevia's comments and appreciated her again. Apologizing for thanking her, but still thanking her.Naevia chuc
Two days later, Nisha's true nature and attitude slowly began to come to light. From the sweet pregnant angel who walked into the mansion, she became the she pregnant devil.Nisha became the queen of the mansion over night. Bossing every maids and guards around. Most especially Naevia.Nisha turned Naevia into a slave over night, in just two days. She made sure Naevia handle different difficult works just to frustrate her and get rid of her.But despite everything she was doing, Naevia wasn't showing any sign of frustration or anger. This only made Nisha angry, that she increased her work and authority on Naevia.Little did Nisha know that Naevia was holding her rage back. Waiting for the right day to unleash it on Nisha.After that day, two days ago, that Zane rescued Nisha from passing out and falling down the stairs, Naevia used that opportunity to get even more closer to Nisha.She said she wanted to keep her safe from harm, so that she and the baby won't get hurt.Nisha also used
Weak, Naevia could hear a voice talking to her. It was a male voice. She felt the touch of this man, caressing her face and resting his head against hers.The feelings she was getting from this man were so familiar. It made Naevia's heart crave for this man.The moment she heard the words 'I love you', Naevia realized who it was."Zane!" She called out. Waking up out of her unconscious state."Mummy is awake!" Dean rejoiced on seeing that Naevia's awake.Naevia heard his voice. She turned to her left side and found Dean with one of her guards. She looked around and realized she's at the hospital. "How did I get here?" She asked, looking confused.Before she could even get her head around what had happened, Dean's arms came on Naevia. The bed is bigger than him, but his arms were able to touch Naevia.Naevia looked at the little one as his eyes came on her, followed by that adorable smile on his face. It immediately warmed Naevia's heart."I knew you'll wake up. How are you feeling Mum
Zane remained close to the window, looking at Naevia. She laid unconscious on the bed, while the nurses attended to her.The Mafia Lord felt his heart weaken at the sight of this. He turned back to look at his trusted guard. But Kelvin was already at the entrance, stepping out.Zane turned his attention back at the window and saw the nurses taking Naevia out of the room.He stepped away from the window then made his way to the entrance. The door comes open and the nurses stepped out with Naevia on the stretcher.Zane moves closer to look at Naevia. Her eyes still closed, her face so weak. He wanted to touch her, but stopped. Instead, he followed the nurses to the special ward meant for Naevia.It's a room for one person, patients with high class. The nurses took Naevia inside and placed her on the bed.Zane followed them. Entering into the room to see Naevia. He sees the nurses covering her up.The nurses allowed Zane to sit beside Naevia, while they stepped out of the room for him to
"Who were you talking to Dean? " He maid asked Dean. Walking up to the little one."It's no one," Dean lied to the maid, still holding the phone.The maid smiles at Dean and takes the phone. She places it back where it belongs and tells Dean that she knows he was trying to réach out to Kelvin."Your Mummy will be fine okay?" She said, patting the little one on the head.Dean nods at her. He watched the maid walk away. Leaving him to watch the TV. Dean feels unhappy. He looked at the phone, wondering if he should pick it up and call back again."Someone might see me," He said, looking worried.Dean held on to his colouring book, looking at the TV. He's not pleased, but had to pray within for a good result.Meanwhile, Kelvin and the guard arrived at the hospital with Naevia. The guard parked at ententrance of the hospital.There was a doctor and a nurse at the entrance when the car came in."What is this ?" The doctor questioned, finding the driver's way of driving rough.Before he coul
Pablo groans, coughing and spitting out blood from his mouth. He tries to rise up to his feet, but is grabbed by Kelvin again.Kelvin dragged Pablo up by holding his neck. The weak and bloodied mouth Pablo, saw this as his chance to attack.He throws a punch at Kelvin, who immediately blocked Pablo's fist from nearing him, before he kicked him right in the stomach.Pablo groans and coughs out more blood. Falling to the ground and squalling in pains."As greedy as you are, you didn't hesitate to sell almost all the expensive lamps and Dean's expensive toys. I don't mind doing this all night Pablo. I'm going to beat all that money out of your system," Kelvin said angrily.He grabs Pablo for a punch, in which Pablo manages to avert, before serving Kelvin his own. But it wasn't that powerful enough to knock Kelvin down.Rubbing his lips from the impact given by Pablo, Kelvin said, glaring at Pablo, while he tried to get his stamina back, "You really are stupid. I was expecting a mercy or
Kelvin tells Dean to go and get changed. Assuring to give him his gifts once he's changed into a new clothes.Dean happily agrees and races for his room in excitement. The maid and Naevia chuckled. The maid bows at Naevia and follows Dean from behind."You're now his favourite, Kelvin. He's been waiting for you to return, so you two can play together," Naevia shared with Kelvin.Kelvin smiles on hearing that. Deep down, Kelvin knows that he's not Dean's favourite, but Zane.Before he travelled for the mission, Kelvin has been dropping Dean off at school. The little one talks about Zane a lot. That's how Kelvin knew that Dean likes Zane more than Pablo."Well that's sweet of him. I know he'll be rushing to get himself ready to have his toys and snacks," Kelvin said, laughing out next.Naevia joins him in laughing. She knows that Kelvin is right about that.While they were talking, Pablo walks pass them without looking their way. Kelvin noticed him. He sees Pablo exiting the mansion and
The days went by as always. Naevia followed Dean to school like always and went to the pack sometimes to get herself on track, while Pablo continued with his secret theft, selling and making his money.When Thursday came, Naevia was at home resting. She didn't feel like going out to do anything. She only went out to drop Dean at school before returning back home to relax. She decided to spend her days at home instead of the park like she has been doing lately.Where she was in the living room, talking to one of the guards concerning a work, Naevia heard Kelvin's voice.She turned her attention towards the entrance and sees Kelvin coming in. He was on the call with someone. Naevia is pleased to see him. She has really missed her loyal and faithful guard.Kelvin gets closer to Naevia and greets her with a smile on his face. Naevia is happy. She asks about Kelvin's trip and the mission. Kelvin let's her know that everything went well."How have you been? You're looking fresh my lady," Ke
Time for lunch, Naevia steps out of her room. Feeling depressed within, she decided to step out of her room. Now that she's trying to get herself on track, Naevia didn't want to let sadness to draw her down.She came down the stairs, making her way to the dinning room. That's when she heard Dean's voice, calling out to her.Naevia looked at the entrance and saw Dean running inside the mansion. The guard who went to get him from school, was following him from behind.Dean rushed towards Naevia and embraced her from the leg due to his height. Naevia smiles at the little one. Patting him on the back. "Welcome my love. How was school today?" She asked."School was fine Mom. I had fun today. My teacher got us all a lovely board to write on. Then we had fun watching the TV. The A, B, C kiddies show," Dean shared with Naevia.Naevia chuckled and said, "That's good dear. Thank goodness that you're home early. It's dinner time.""Hurrah!" Dean rejoiced, hopping around Naevia.Naevia smiled at
After her practice, Naevia decided to return to her room and rest a little while. She had a napkin in her hand, damping off sweats from her forehead. She made her way through the path, and out into the living room. Her eyes falling on the couch and the TV that was on. Pablo wasn't there. She had thought he returned back to the living room, but she doesn't see him here. "My lady. Do you need something?" A maid asked Naevia. Standing beside her. Naevia looked at the maid and said, "Get me something to drink please." "Alright my lady," The maid said, turning around to leave. Naevia immediately asked for Pablo from the maid. She wanted to know if he went back to his room. The maid tells Naevia that Pablo left the mansion with a bag of clothes. "Bag of clothes? For what?" She asked. The maid tells her that she doesn't know. Naevia sends her to go and get her the drink and bring it up to her room. The maid obeys, and leaves Naevia's presence. "With a bag of clothes? Where is he head
Tuning in to another station, Naevia lowers the remote down and lays back to watch. She had switched it to a different station. It's also a movie station, but has more action and less romance.Pablo had seen the mood Naevia was in when she changed the channel. He doesn't say anything, but watches the TV with her.As they were watching, another guard came in with another document in his hand. He shows it to Naevia.Pablo sees them again. This time, his eyes were fixed on Naevia and the guard. He watched her point out some things in the document for the guard. "Keep it short, I don't want long term work," She ordered.The guard obeys her. Taking the document and exiting the living room immediately.Naevia turned to face the TV. She spots Pablo staring at her, and asks him what he wanted.Pablo smiles and said, "I'm really amazed with the way you're handling this work of yours. You look just like those bosses in those big companies. Like a CEO." He smiles at Naevia.Naevia doesn't smile
