Chapter 20

Ausha's POV 

I first said goodbye to Nanny Fell to go for a walk so that I could familiarize myself with the area, Nanny's reminded me not to go too far because I might get lost, isn't it the extent of this Hacienda that a full day is not enough to see something I also have houses but they are far away, different designs and different sizes, Lance's mansion is only two stories but it is super spacious and the mansion is designed modern. 

The environment is peaceful, the sky is blue and the sun shines on the skin with less pain. While I was walking I came to a place that I didn't realize because of the beauty of the place, it was a treehouse. Out of curiosity I climbed it. At first I was scared because the wooden stairs looked fragile but I didn't climb them.

After I got to the top, it was clear around it. It also had a balcony, two windows and a small door. I walked towards the door but when I was disappointed because it had a lock, I wanted to enter the treehouse but the owner closed it. 

Whoever owns it, I will ask to hang out here, I just sighed and went down to the treehouse, I continued my walk. I'm just thankful that I didn't get lost, it was almost afternoon when I got back to Lance's Mansion. I'm thankful because Lance hasn't come home from work yet but I'm sure he'll be upset with him. Nanny and I talked for a while and I said goodbye to go up to the room to rest, when I got to the room I fell on the bed, five minutes later I thought of taking a bath first because it was hot earlier while I was walking my sweat, I just took a robe and entered the bathroom, I stayed for twenty minutes in the bath, when I finished the bath, I put on the robe, I took an extra towel, wiped my wet hair, and left the bathroom but I almost froze where I was standing when Lance looked at me. 

He just looked at me as if he was irritated. "L-Lance Why?" asked him nervously.  

"Get out of the door, I can't get in, I'll block your way," he said coldly and I gave him glaring eyes. 

Just before I realized that I was blocking the door, I immediately stepped aside and he entered and closed the door backwards. I heard the opening of the shower, I immediately went to my cabinet to get dressed, I sped up my dressing because I didn't want him to catch me getting dressed and especially I didn't want him near me because I felt like I was suffocating, like I couldn't breathe properly. 

After I got down, I just opened the door to the bathroom. When I got down, Nanny Fell was just serving dinner, I helped her prepare. At first she even protested that I helped but she didn't do anything because I was naughty. I helped her. A little while later, Lance came down, wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt. 

"Hijo, let's eat just as soon as your wife has finished preparing dinner," Nanny invited and smiled at me. He looked at me far away and still like before he looked at me with no desire. 

"Ah... okay, but thank goodness I'm done eating out," he responded like that and turned his back on us. I smiled lazily at Nanny. 

"He's already finished eating outside, we'll just eat what you cooked." 

"If you'll be patient with your husband Hija, maybe he's not in the mood to eat together," Nanny said weakly. I laughed a little. 

"Maybe it is, nanny, let's eat it before it gets cold, it's still delicious." While we were eating I noticed something. 

"Where is Kliara Nanny Fell? I haven't seen her since this morning until now?" I wondered. 

"It's still at school, it's still six o'clock tonight." I just nodded. We sat down and started eating, maybe I would prefer Lance to treat me coldly rather than him doing me harm or hurting me. 

Thyro's POV 

I traveled to Tagaytay because I was going to take care of business there. I left everything to do with Secretary Fhara for a while. For the time being, I will live in our Hacienda for about a month. That's better because I will see her for a long time, damn I missed My Shasha. 

When I arrived at the house in the hacienda it was late. Nanny Cilia, who took care of our mansion, greeted me. 

"Oh hijo, are you here? You didn't say you were coming. I thought you were still on vacation, are you coming here?" Nanny asked smiling. 

"Good evening, I'm sorry because I have an emergency so I'll stay here," I answered back. 

"Is that so? It's okay, it's better that I have someone to eat with here, right?" 

"Not yet." 

"Hey, come on, I just cooked your favorite dish," Nanny said happily. 

"I'm really hungry and I'm hungry too." 

While we were eating, Nanny and I talked, she even asked me when I was going to get married- I just laughed, when I finished eating, I immediately said goodbye to rest, took a shower and lay down on the bed, tomorrow I will face a lot of problems. 

The next day I woke up early to go to work, took a shower and immediately put on a suit. When I got downstairs I immediately smelled what my Nanny was cooking. 

"Good morning, the smell of what you're cooking is good," I greeted while adjusting my necktie. 

"Good morning, hijo, eat, I woke up really early today because I know you have work," she said and served me the food she cooked. 

"Thank you." When I finished, I immediately got into the white car going to the company. As soon as I was at the company's entrance, my employees were congratulating me. 

"Good Morning Sir Welcome Back," the guard greeted me with a bow. I just nodded at him in response. 

"Good Morning Sir," greeted the receptionists. 

"G-Good morning sir." Many more greeted me and I just nodded to them in response, when I got to the office and President Klivan Lucas immediately entered. 

"Sir, these are the documents you requested," he said, holding out the black folder. 

"Alright, you may go, I'll call you if I need something," I replied, rummaging through the folder. 

"Yes sir," he said and left my office. Based on the database, the company's revenue dropped by 15% and even the one who buys our product just this month, I was holding my head with a little pain. 

I loosened my necktie and messed up my hair that was fixed earlier. I need to fix this mess. I took out my cell phone to call the President against Klivan. 

*Ringggg* 

"President Klivan speaking?" 

"This is Mr. Madrigal, set a meeting at 1 o'clock p.m. in the meeting room," I ordered. 

"Y-Yes sir I understand," his voice trembled on the other line. 

When it came to 1 o'clock p.m I had a meeting with the managers of the business that I left here, they explained a lot why it happened like that, I also couldn't help but raise my voice because I was frustrated. I ended the meeting right away and they said they would find a way but I know their plan is not very effective so I will just do it and if they can't fix it I will fix it myself. 

I came home at night because some people left work at the office and my father was already asleep when I arrived, so I didn't wake her up to give her a good rest. I know she is also doing a lot here at home. I immediately took a shower and took the laptop to work on the problem with the company. I didn't realize it was the first thing in the morning so I just went to sleep. 

The next day at noon I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning, I took a shower before going downstairs, I saw my nanny watering the garden, I just ate and after that I went to the garden. 

"Oh, hijo, I thought I went to work with you?" Nanny asked while her attention was still on watering. I sat on a chair near the pool and took out my cell phone. 

"It's not because there are still many things that need to be fixed, so I didn't come in so that I can fix the things that need to be fixed." 

"Oh, that's right, you should take a break, hijo, when you have time, the one who will be soaking in the work will be with you," my nanny said worriedly to me. I smiled slightly. 

When I decided to go to the rancho, when I got to the rancho it was still almost unchanged from when I left and now. 

"Sir Thyro," greeted Fred. 

"How are you Fred?" 

"I'm getting old, but it can still walk hahaha!" Mr. Fred is right, he has white hair that mixes with his black hair. I think he is 59 years old but still as strong as the horse he takes care of. 

"The horses here are strong," I commented to him. 

He just nodded. "I'm glad you came here again, Sir Thyro. You only come here every time you're on vacation." 

"Yes, sir, because I'm also taking care of business here, how are the horses here, are they alright?" I looked at my pet horses again, Severino was one of them.

"Yes, it's fine, there's no problem here, sir." I looked at the horses one by one, from small to big. 

Fred also said a lot that in the past, other horses got sick, maybe due to the weather. Mr. Fred immediately said goodbye because he said he had something else to take care of so I decided to go to Severino's for my horse. 

This was a gift from Dad to me when I was young, almost all of us have a horse unfortunately and my cousins are not here. I rode Severino and decided to tour the entire hacienda, almost nothing has changed since then until now, while I was traversing the entire hacienda I stumbled upon a place, I remembered this is the place I often go to like a hide out even my cousins and friends don't know that I have a hide out. 

It's a treehouse surrounded by lush branches and leaves, so it's hard to see or even notice it, yet I did it secretly, no it's big and you're not too small either. I got down from Severino and tied it to the tree next to the tree house. Its stairs are behind it so it can't be seen or even noticed, so I went up. It was locked and I still remember where I put the key. I took it from where I was hiding and opened the dusty door. 

The door creaked when I opened it. The whole tree house was dusty, but the other equipment was not because I put it in a white cloth. I started cleaning the whole living room first, I don't know why I'm cleaning it, but maybe because I miss the place where I used to hang out, I want it to hang out again, I cleaned for almost an hour after I finished I fell on the sofa, I rested for a while before thinking about cleaning a small room. 

Although my room is still the same as before, it has a small bed in the middle and a window on the side, there is also a closet, I started to clean it from the floor and corner of the room after I finished I went to the kitchen to drink water, this tree house has no electricity, only a lamp gives light in the dark night. 

When I was sure that everything was fine, I went down to the treehouse and untied Severino. I returned home and decided to fix some of the broken things in the tree house. I spent a whole day fixing all the broken or missing things, I also brought a solar light so that I don't have to use a lamp. 

When I finished fixing everything, I went home maybe to rest, but I noticed something at the front door, shoe prints, someone had gone there before me, and who was it? Besides me no one knows about this treehouse? 

I will find out who it is not now but I will make sure we meet again. I thought, My Queen Ausha. Could it be her? But if she was, how did she know this? I need to see My Shasha first, I really miss her presence damn!
