Semua Bab Raising The Billionaire's Child: Bab 1 - Bab 10

“This year’s most anticipated wedding between actress Olive Concepcion and famous business personality and Hotelier Nate Sarmiento is set to be held this coming Sunday. For more of this story, here is Ynez Solis…” "Mommy, I'm sleepy." From the celebrity news that I am watching, my attention shifted to my baby playing next to me.Elisha was yawning and her beautiful eyes were already half closed. I smiled before carrying my daughter in my arms. "Okay, let's get you to bed now, my love…" I carefully laid Elisha on the bed in the only room of our small apartment. I then hugged her and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Good night, mommy. I love you…" "I love you too, Eli. Good night." I waited for her to fall asleep completely before I went out to turn off the TV that I had left open in the living room. The news about Nate and Olive was over. I sighed. I am happy for my best friend, Olive. But I am also afraid that their marriage would change her mind and think of taking back the

“Bye, Eli. Behave in class, okay?" I took Elisha to her pre-school the next morning. "Remember, you're only going home with your nanny, okay?" I was referring to Eli’s daytime nanny, Yoly.“Yes, mommy... I love you.""I love you too." I kissed my little girl before leaving for work.It was Monday so I had to get to the office right away. Well, being a college undergrad, I am still an assistant until now. But I was lucky that someone still accepted me despite my having no college diploma.I have been an executive assistant for almost ten years now. That long service already earned me the status of being our company’s little boss. It was because no one had yet to work with our boss, who seemed to have been conceived out of a bad mood, longer than I had.When I arrived at the office, the employees rushed back to their respective workstations from their earlier huddle while gossiping."Good morning, Hannah!" Mia greeted me. She was the closest to me because we came to the company almost a

"Good morning. I'm Hannah Rodriguez. May I know the office of Nate Sarmiento, please?" I was in the lobby of the NS Hotel owned by Nate."Do you have an appointment with the GM?" The beautiful receptionist shot me a judging look."N-nothing. But he'll see me---" I didn't finish what I was going to say because she already picked up the phone to make a call to Nate's office.It was already the third day that Elisha was in Nate's care. It's the third day that I haven't seen my daughter. It's the third day that I’ve been going to each NS Hotel one by one to see if the owner, Nate, holds an office there. The one where I am now is the last branch in Manila. After this, I will have to go out to the provinces.But it is impossible that he is staying in the province. I am sure that Nate is based here in Manila. I’ll just need to go back to each hotel again if I’m still not successful today. I am already so worried and I feel like I am on my wit’s end. I even think I am going crazy already. Wh

Nate transferred Elisha to another school. Of course, it would be a shame that Nate Sarmiento's princess was studying in a cheap school. So no one dared question him even when the school year was ending and such a move was not needed. As long as Elisha was transferred to a good school, then it’s all good and acceptable."Thank you so much for entrusting your daughter to us, Mr. Sarmiento. We assure you that she'll be taken good care of," said the school administrator of the super-exclusive school that Nate enrolled Elisha with a smile.Ms. Cruz was a young school administrator. She was pretty and sexy too. Obviously, she'd been trying to charm the too formal Nate Sarmiento since we entered the room."I'm counting on that, Ms. Cruz. By the way, this is Hannah Rodriguez," Nate finally introduced me. I thought he had already forgotten I was with him. Nate and Ms. Cruz has been talking for a while now and he never introduced me, that I could only guess based on Ms. Cruz' subtle gaze that

"Elisha, stop that," I scolded Eli. We were having breakfast and she was just toying with her food. "You're going to be late if you don't hurry up." "Why is daddy not driving us to school?" She sadly asked me, pouting her lips. "Daddy's got a breakfast meeting, Eli. It's important." "More important than us?" My daughter was serious about her question and I didn't know if it was a good thing or not."Baby, listen to me. Daddy is a very busy man. But he finds time to spend with you. However, today, he's got this very important appointment with an extremely important person," I wasn't supposed to cover for Nate. I should have taken advantage of this opportunity to defame him to Elisha. But for some reason, I didn't want to add to his problems. “I’m sure he will make it up to you.”I can't forget that hurt smile of Nate last night. I had always thought that he was a strong man – for the short time I'd known him at least. But last night, when he said that Olive had married someone else,
