The Billionaire's Maid

Chapter 1: Amusement Park

FLASHBACK

"Jelena, you have to hold hold hands together with your siblings or else you'll be lost." Mama reminded me while gesturing the three of us siblings to go inside this huge amusement park. She loves to bring us here because this is the place where Papa and her met the very first time. Mama always tells us about her and Papa's love story and I love listening to it over and over again even though my brothers Dennis and Charlie pissed off. I'm already 16 years old and Dennis is 17 while Charlie is 9. Dennis and I have a pretty close age gap and we often feel uncomfortable riding children's rides here in the amusement park since we're already teenagers but I often laugh about it. Actually, this is Charlie's happy place too that's why I love going here as well. We all know that Mama misses Papa so much because until now, she kept on doing the things that reminds her of papa's presence just like going here. Papa died when I was just 10 years old. He passed away because of a car accident when he was on his way to his workplace. That time was so painful for all of us in the family especially Mama and until now her longing for papa's presence is evident. Who wouldn't long for someone you've planned to love for the rest of your life. He was her first boyfriend and the only one. Like I said, they meet in this Hampton Amusement Park. They both love this place and I can still remember that when I was a kid, Papa and Mama always brings me and my siblings here too and we often eat ice cream after riding on a carousel.Those were the good old days in my life that I will forever treasure. “Jelena, Jelena let's ride into that ferris wheel. "said Charlie while shaking my arm. Mama went to buy something on the left side of the park while Dennis is playing shooting in the booth across the ferris wheel so I was left here with Charlie and I don't have enough money to pay for an entrance in the ferris wheel. “ Charls, my money isn't enough for us to ride a ferris wheel, sorry."I said and then I saw a small ice cream shop near us “What about we'll just eat an ice-cream? do you wanna eat ice cream Charls? I asked him and his mood easily lightened and then he smiled widely “okay fine, Jelena let's go." he said while smiling from ear to ear. I really love it when my younger brother is happy. I always consider him as my baby because most of the time I'm the one who takes care of him since Mama is working. “okay Charlie let's go." I said happily.

Charlie was busy looking at the flavors while continuously jumping like the usual energetic kids do. He was trying to decide what to order and I was just standing beside him waiting for his choice until a few moments he decided what to order and I said it to the vendor.I am also trying to decide what to order and the place is really crowded because there are many customers. “f*ck! you shouldn't let your brother jump and be hyper in this crowded place" a guy almost about my age yelled at me. His white colored shirt is now stained with a chocolate ice cream that Charlie is holding. I was stunned and a bit embarrassed because people are watching us now. I looked at him and he seems really wealthy because of the brand of his white shirt and even his shoes. “Im sorry, He didn't mean to do it.” I said while looking down. I noticed that Charlie remained silent too and he looks worried like me. “your sorry won't fix this mess Miss. " he said while leaving us. Well, he's rude but I somehow understand that it was my fault for letting Charlie continuously jumping and be hyper in a crowded area however he also needs to realize that Charlie is just a kid. No matter how I try to control Charlie's movements, he will always be hyper because that's who he is. I'm just really thankful that he didn't asked us a fine because we ruined his branded shirt.

"What happened to you Marco?" your shirt is messy dear. C'mon let's get in the car and we'll just buy you a new one."Mom said while holding Briana. “, I told her and put on my headphones. I don't really want to go to that amusement park but my mom is so persistent and she wants me to have a time with her and my sister because she said I was so young to be so exhausted with our business. I guess it's just right for me to learn it since I'm already 18 years old. She talked continuously while I'm busy listening to the music on the back seat. I find it really irritating to see my dirty shirt now but I somehow feel strange the moment I saw her stares.

“Mama,Charlie was so hyper earlier in the amusement park and he event accidentally spoiled a guy's shirt." I said while setting up for our dinner. Charlie then giggled and stared at me with a puppy eyes. He's really a very naughty kid and sometimes it frustrates me. I guess he did it in purpose earlier because he wasn't sorry at all. “Really? Charlie why did you do it? ” Mama asked while placing the rice in the middle. “because... staring is rude. "Charlie said and it made me confused. “ What do you mean Charls?" Dennis asked while getting a cooked rice and putting it into his plate. “he was staring at Jelena so I jumped near him and theeeeen.... the ice cream went to his shirt. "Charlie grinned sarcastically.“No he wasn't, I didn't saw him staring though." I told them. “Jelena you should not allow men to look at you for a different reasons. "Dennis said while looking at me. He's always over protective towards me and he doesn't really like it when guys approach me or something, typical brother vibe .

“Marco,my secretary told me earlier that you left the office. "dad said angrily. I stopped eating and stared at my plate. This is going to be another session of rants from him while we're having dinner. Well, actually this isn't a new thing for me. I sighed and continued listening to him rant while the four of us are here. “Hon,I invited Marco to be with me and Briana to earlier and we just went to an amusement park. " Mom cut the awkward silence after dad's rant for me. “ Precilia, our son is the heir of our empire and he needs to learn how to handle the business or else he'll be like his cousins who ended up useless in this family tree." dad replied while raising his voice to mom. I really feel sad about my mom being treated like this by dad but she doesn't even want me to stand for her. “in fact, you're not even a kid to enjoy those kind of place. Marco, all you need to remember is learn how to grow our business and outsmart our competitors. You want to prove your best to me and your grandfather don't you? then do it! be responsible and focus. ” Dad always reminds me about this even when I was just a young boy. “but David, your son is still so young to have that responsibilities. "mom replied.“shut it Precilia, you're a woman and you don't have any idea about how to manage our business" dad responded. this is what I hate the most. Whenever she tries to defend me it will backfire to her. I looked at Briana's direction and she looks sad and about to cry. I signaled her that I'm okay and she nodded. She's still so young to see how messed up our situation is. I hate seeing my mom powerless infront of dad but no matter how I try to defend her from him, she still wants me not to bother. My mom loves dad so much that she'd be willing to suffer for the rest of her life just to stay with a man who doesn't even love her. Well, what's new to a typical arrange marriage.
