Ella's POV
It might sound ridiculous that I'm actually talking to a four year old boy but his brain seems even more developed than adults.
"Is that the reason why your dad is bossy?". I asked.
"Yes". He said and nodded.
"That's how he is, frustrated''. He replied and I kind of felt his pain.
"Well, I'm here to take care of you and I promise I'll take care of you in any way I can, emotionally and physically". I said and he smiled and rested on my lap.
"Thanks Ella". He muttered.
"You're welcome, my prince". I said and stood up.
"I've to go and continue my chores before your dad gets back and please don't cry again, if he finds you crying, he will sack me". I said and he nodded.
Davis's POV
I was battling with my mind if I should show her my diary but she was like a mother to me, even showing me the motherly affection my mom didn't show me...
How couldn't I show her?
"Ella, can I show you something?". I asked her and she looked surprised.
"No problem, what's that?". She asked and followed me to my room. I pulled the diary from under my bed and handed it to a very shocked Ella...
She flipped through the pages and was very shocked.
"You're really brilliant, when did you start writing this?". She asked.
"This year". I replied with a smile.
Ray's POV
"You wouldn't believe what happened yesterday". I said to Leonard who was just staring at me.
"What happened?". He asked.
"Guess i***t, guess". I said as he smiled.
"You met a fine lady and you're dating now". He said with a grin
I looked at him disappointed.
"You know how much I hate women, how could you guess that kind of rubbish". I said.
"I'm not good at guessing". He replied.
"Well, I have a nanny now". I said.
"Is she cute?". Leonard asked and I got offended and ignored his question.
"Well, my son likes her and he doesn't associate with people but I wondered why his spirit just liked her". I said.
"That's strange, even your son doesn't like me". Leonsrd said and I nodded.
"I think he's thinking of something". I said.
"I wouldn't doubt that because your son is really brilliant, a four year old boy with that kind of brain". He commended me and I smiled.
"Thanks". I replied.
"I'll follow you to your house, let me see your new nanny". He said and I nodded
"That girl is tough, I added over 50 tasks for 100,000 dollars and she agreed, I was shocked". I said and he laughed.
"It's possible she's one of those prostitutes". He said and I shook my head negatively.
"No, she's responsible". I replied.
"Are you falling for her?". He asked and I got annoyed.
"If you ask that question again, I'll make sure you never use your mouth again". I joked and he laughed.
"How about we go to your house now?". He suggested.
"That's a good idea". I said and stood up.
Davis's POV
She was crying by the time she reached the last page of the diary...
"Oh my God, you're really hurt". She said and hugged me.
"My dad doesn't know I have this diary and I want it to remain like that". I said and she nodded.
"I can feel your pain". She said and hugged me again.
The car horn from the gate indicated that dad was around. She screamed and stood up.
"Your dad is going to kill me, I've just completed 25 out of the fifty" she said and sank to the bed ..
"Calm down Ella". I said
Ella's POV
I marked the 25 chores I did. I cried as I was marking them, I knew I was dead already.
I placed the list in the parlor and ran to the kitchen, starting with the dirty dishes. I kept praying in my mind for God to spare me the forthcoming embarrassment.
"Ella". I heard his tough and fierce voice which sent me back to reality.
"Ella". He thundered and I ran to the parlor.
"What is this?". He asked, throwing the list at me.
Davis just stood motionless..
"I... I...".
"Will you keep shut and don't talk when I'm talking". He said as his friend entered.
"Who's he?". I asked myself
"Is she your nanny or maid?". He asked
"Yes". Ray replied.
I was resisting the urge to punch all of them because of little Davis.
"You only did 25 out of the 50 tasks". He said.
"I'm sorry sir". I muttered with tears.
"Wait". Leo said and glanced at me. "You mean she did 25 tasks and you're here blabbing that she didn't try". He said.
"What are you trying to insinuate?". Ray asked
"Is she a machine that would work from morning to night non-stop? Sack her, let her come to work in my house". Leonsrd said and Ray chuckled.
"I'm not sacking her but she'll be punished". He said and I looked at him shocked.
"Punishment?
Was I a kindergarten child? Was I a kid? What's even wrong with this one? Is it because he is a billionaire and he's acquired too much wealth".
"She won't eat this evening". He said and I froze.
"But Dad, she hasn't even eaten this afternoon". Davis reminded
"Well, I didn't say she should not eat in the afternoon and since she didn't eat, till tomorrow before something enters her worthless mouth". He said.
"It's not fair, I won't eat then". Davis said.
"Davis! What has come over you?". He asked and slapped his cheeks.
"Why are you like this because of a worthless lady?". He said.
"She's not worthless". Davis replied and ran into his room with tears.
******
What's wrong with Mr Ray? I'm feeling for the little boy; Mr Ray is totally oblivious.
of what his son is going through.
I would have say let Leonard go with her but how about our poor Davis?
