《THE NANNY AFFAIR》


 Chapter 1 A good day to get a job (1)

    It was a blissful night, the stars illuminated the sky, I lifted my head whisking through the gardens, my red silky gown flow as the breeze encircled me with its calmness, from afar I sighted a man, clothed in white, his hair from afar was maybe brown colored and shoulders was brode, the strange-looking man was like a protagonist in a love story, a story that Is about to uncover, as I gasped back to reality.


    7:10 am


    Whoa¡± I looked at my time to see it was past seven, I had few hours to get ready for my interview.


    I rushed in and out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel around me, I wiggled off the water from my hair, pulled out my clothes from the wardrobe, and after, walked out of the house the second I finished getting dressed to the home of my soon to be boss, ¡°Mr. Liam Khan¡±.


    I was being interviewed to be his son¡¯s nanny, thus minus the fact, I had no idea how to take care of a child, how hard can it be?¡±.


    I wore a pair of joggers, a crop top, and a white canvas, strolling through the streets of Elmore city.


    I walked past a candy shop, followed by another before I got to the ce of my interviewer, it bewildered my breath away beholding a house of such immenseness, it felt like a royal family lives there, as the gates automatically opened to me, ¡°wee miss Sara Scott¡±. I took heed of a masculine voice, who walked up to me, slinging his shirt off his wet dripping body.


    I gazed like a lost puppy, from his seductive eyes, well-shaped body, and that of his lips, gosh! He looked like a demigod.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    ¡°Miss Sara! Snap out of it¡±.


    I had this hunch he knew how farther my thoughts traveled and if he hadn¡¯t recalled my attention, it would have gone further away, and most likely never to return.


    ¡°Good morning sir! I came for the interview¡±. I Paused for his response.


    ¡°Yeah! I do know,e on in¡±.


    We took a step into the house, bloody hell, it felt like I had just died and gotten to heaven, its exquisite tastes took my breath away for the second time, thus for a man of his caliber, all these things are nothing to him.


    My eyes loomed around, as we strolled over to his study room, ¡°have a seat and we will begin in a while!¡±.


    He walks back out, leaving me behind in the study room, patiently waiting for him, ¡°hmm! Where is he?¡± Gradually my patience was running thin, I wondered where he was, maybe he had something important to do and forgot he kept me waiting in here? ¡°I rather go check for him¡± initially I thought about doing so but what if he gets aggravated and makes me lose this job even before getting it. Thus without deliberation, I sat back down quietly geeking at the time.

 Chapter 2 The interview (2)

    Two hours passed, yet Liam hasn¡¯t returned to interview me. ¡°Are you waiting for my dad?¡± I took heed of a child¡¯s voice which instantly drew my attention back to see a little boy clutching a ball in his hand, he had curly hair and brown colored eyes.


    ¡°Hello, child! Yes, I am! Do you know where he is?¡± I watched as he walked closer to me, ¡°I think he must be in his room, should I call him?¡±. Seeing him spotted a smile on my face, I shook my head disapproving his idea, ¡°don¡¯t call him, I¡¯ll wait¡± I smiled at him, as he reciprocates with his too, ¡°Okay! While waiting, do you wish to y football with me?¡±. He tossed the ball at me, riding out of the room.


    ¡°Hold on champ!¡±


    He took me outside, aiming to catch the ball from me, ¡°what are you waiting for! Toss the ball¡±. His voice attained his father¡¯s attention, as he caught a glimpse of us ying from his room window.


    We both yed to a point I forgot I was to be interviewed by his father, as I swirled back to see the same person I thought of, standing behind me with his arms folded together.


    Holy moly, father of all, I am in deep trouble¡± I said as he fills up the remaining distance between us, ¡°what are you doing here? Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait for me¡± his voice gradually gets aggravated by the second, I needed to calm him down so I could exin.


    ¡°Yes sir! But I only wanted to y football with champ here!¡±.


    Liam whirls to the side and saw the boy I called champ, repaying his eyes to me, ¡°you mean Andres! My son¡± he says.


    ¡°Yes Sir, your son¡± I duplicated back his words to him, as he detonates a weak smile.


    The smile he had on made me mystified, as he veers his back at me. ¡°Walk with me¡±. He says, thus, without reluctance, I walked rearward as we step back into the house.


    Liam¡¯s switched on his serious face, quietly walking without altering words to me, he hummed a particr song, jerking his head to its beat, finally repaying his attention over to me, ¡°am sorry for taking much of your time! I had to take care of some pending issues¡± continued walking.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    ¡°Yes sir! So can we proceed with the interview?¡±. I said idling for his response rather he halts reading the look on my face, ¡°there is no need for the interview! I have gotten what I wanted¡±. He says


    ¡°Gotten what you wanted? I don¡¯t think I understand what you mean by that?¡±. Liam ran a check on me before answering back, ¡°now let me break it down for you, the whole reason is to find someone that would be able to take care of my son when I am not around, and for the past three weeks, you¡¯re the only person my son, took a liking too, that beats it all!¡±.


    ¡°Hmm!¡± I shook my head understanding his words, (we continued walking).


    An hourter, he walked me to the front door as he pushed it open, ¡°thank you and wee to my family, so! Tomorrow I¡¯ll be expecting you!¡±.


    ¡°Yeah¡± I veered back wearing a smile, as he shuts the door.


    10:09 pm


    I got back home exhausted and reeked of alcohol, urgh! My head continued spinning around, it felt like the whole world was crumbling down on me, and I needed to have a rest, I couldn¡¯t think of anything else.

 Chapter 3 Ball on the road (3)

    The next morning, the sound of my rm beeped me up from bed, I veered my eyes down just to see myself naked, ¡°how! When ! Don¡¯t understand¡±. Thest thing I can remember was going to bed with my clothes on and now to wake up and see myself naked, it didn¡¯t just disappear overnight!. (My clothes).Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    I soared my eyes around gathering my thoughts, exactly when the door to my room pushed open decerning Christain strolling in with a tray in his hand.


    ¡°Good morning!¡± He says but what I was much concerned about was his shirtless body, ¡°good morning! Did you sleep herest night?¡±. That question spotted a smile on his face, he walked past me and dropped the tray on the table, attaining back his attention over, ¡°hmm! I did sleep here, but don¡¯t you remember what happenedst night?¡±. He watched me quietly trying to recollect what happened yesterday after my job interview.


    All I can remember was after I had left Liam¡¯s home, I went straight to mine and towards dusk, Christain! who my best friend right from college, came home and dragged me out of the house to celebrate me getting a job, urgh and from listing out all his options, Christain Devon chose to do it in the bar by drowning me in alcohol.


    The whole scenario yed part by part in my head, immediately I lifted my head with a furious look on.


    ¡°What? I told you not to drink too much, but do you listen, no!¡±. He tries to rify.


    In all that wasn¡¯t my main concern, all I wanted to find out was! apart from what he said, did anything happen?. That there was my concern, I cannot possibly think of doing anything with my best friend, it¡¯s just messed up.


    ¡°Did we have¡­ sex¡±. I asked, he immediatelyughed out loud, it felt like I shouldn¡¯t have said something about it, but I needed to know how my clothes dispatched from my body, whereas he strode into my room without wearing a shirt.


    ¡°Yes! We did have sex¡­. God it was magical and wonderful¡±.


    I watched as his imagination plunges far away, he walks closer to me poking his head forward to mine, ¡°are you stupid? We didn¡¯t have sex and besides, you removed your clothes the second you got into your room andstly the only reason I slept here was that it was gettingte, so please nothing happened between us, it hasn¡¯t and it won¡¯t ever happen¡±.


    I buffed out a relieved breath, thank God almighty that nothing of a sort happenedst night, thus not quite long my phone rang, ¡°hello?¡± I picked up the call without identifying the caller.


    ¡°Hello! Am I unto miss Sara?¡±. A masculine voice at the other end of the phone says, ¡°Yes you are?¡± I responded oblivious to the fact my boss(Liam) was the caller.


    ¡°Good morning it¡¯s Liam, and why aren¡¯t you here yet?¡±.


    No one had to tell me, I dashed into the bathroom holding him at the other end of the call. ¡°I am sorry sir! I¡¯ll be there?¡± Liam immediately puts off the call the second he warned Ie before it clocked 10:00 am, thus I did everything possible to beat the time.


    Christain quietly watched me run in chaos and not once did he alter a word of assistance to me, ¡°urgh¡± sometimes he can be such a wizard.


    ¡°Excuse me¡±


    He took a step back, as I dashed out of the house holding my shoes.

 Chapter 4 You鈥檙e late (4)

    stop me here?¡± The cab halted in front of Liam¡¯s home, I stepped out of the car after paying my fare. I ran like I was being chased by a spirit, ¡°whoa! Calm down!¡± A feminine voice attained my attention seeing an elderlydy standing in front of me. ¡°Oops! I am sorry ma¡¯am, I didn¡¯t see you there¡±. I buffed and buffed for a while trying to curb my breath, the elderlydy looked at me with a curious gaze thus someone else blurted out before she did. ¡°You¡¯rete!¡± I took heed of a footstep approaching towards me, I hoisted my head beholding Liam¡¯s angry gaze, he idled to hear my response, constantly tapping his legs to the floor.


    ¡°I am sorry sir! Please forgive me, I had a mishapst night¡± I answered back but my response no way made any difference, he took me by my hands as we walked close to the door, the serious look on his face got me tensed, thus without hesitation Liam shoved me outside and angrily tried to bang the door, ¡°let go of it, right now¡± he noticed I stopped him from doing it, recouping his eyes back to me.


    ¡°No sir! But please try to understand my situation please¡± I said for the second time trying to exin to him, rather he pulls my hands from blocking the door and mmed the door to my face.


    Liam veered back to notice the elderlydy I walked in a few minutes ago, gazing at him, ¡°what is it Aunt?¡±, He moves closer to her as she pulled a step backward, ¡°why did you send thedy out? at least you would have listened to what she had to say!¡± She tried exining to him, rather he walks past her not distorting a single word.


    I sat outside for over an hour now, my mind constantly yed tricks on me, it was either I get up from where I was seated and leave or rather bang on the door, until he decides to open up, hence before I could make up my mind, the door opened e in!¡±.


    I buffed out a relieved breath heeding to his voice, quickly I jerked up from where I was sited and turned strolling back in.


    ¡°Now talk to me? Why were youte?¡±.


    An hour had passed and it was now time he deemed necessary to listen to me, thus minus the fact I had the worst reason ever, I just had to tell a white lie.


    ¡°I had an emergency at home, my mom got hit by a horse!¡±.


    I had no idea, how that came out, but it did and I know Liam will in no way believe me but fairly, he Smirked ambling away. ¡°Pheww¡± it felt like a huge load was drop from my shoulder as I watched him walk away.


    Idling around, I sat and waited for my job description to be read out to me, the whole day passed and Liam didn¡¯t even step his feet out of his room to meet me, yet again did he forget I was in the living room waiting for him?.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Erm! Did you not move from his spot throughout the whole day?¡±.


    Finally, Liam decides toe out, ambling downstairs to meet me, ¡°erm! Sir, I was waiting to hear the explicit duties you want me to do as your son¡¯s nanny!¡±. I said swerving my gaze low.


    ¡°Specific duties? Huh? I don¡¯t think I exined everything to you yesterday, wait I¡¯ll be back!¡±. He walks back upstairs into his room.

 Chapter 5 First day at the job (5)

    I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off him as he walked away,ter on, Liam veers down to meet me handing over a piece of documents, which stated each and everything I needed to do as his son¡¯s nanny, but among the listed requirements, what I couldn¡¯t understand was, and I quote, ¡°you will have to live with us, so your duties will be taken care of effectively¡±. I raised my head, as I kindly asked him to exin further.


    ¡°Urgh! Do I have to exin everything to you? ¡°Liam says taking note of the expression I had on my face, ¡°have you ever being a babysitter before¡± (continued talking).Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°I¡± originally I thought lying to him would be better but something within told on, I should tell the truth, so I did, ¡°no sir! I haven¡¯t been a babysitter before!¡±.


    ¡°Urgh! Really, how the hell am I going to entrust my son to someone who doesn¡¯t know the first thing about babysitting!¡±. Liam frowns at me, buffing out a deep breath.


    I know he had every right to stop me from working, firstly I had no idea how to babysit a child, and secondly, I can still recall I lied to him about being a babysitter on my resume.


    ¡°Look, sir! I am sorry, I know I said I have been a babysitter before, minus the fact I have not but now I am willing to learn and abide by the rules and regtions governing our contract, please give me a chance sir!¡±.


    I pleaded with him in at most sincerity, as he quietly listens ¡°hmm! I can see you¡¯re sorry, but it¡¯s okay, maybe God wanted you to get this job, in all honesty, I¡¯ll like to see how you handle a kid of such naughtiness especially if the child is my son¡±. Liam speaks in a loud voice shooting a devilish smile at me.


    Urgh! I¡¯ll love to wipe off that smile on his face when I show him, I can do anything if I set my mind to it.


    ¡°Yes sir, I can do it¡±


    I said, apparently to him, that was my response but behind those words what I truly meant is, ¡°Challenge epted¡± and trust me, I will make Andres be in his good behavior, even though I have to bend him to it.


    ¡°Okay! Why don¡¯t you go home and pack your bags and please make sure you¡¯re early okay?¡¯ he says to me scouring a smiley face.


    The following morning, before my rm beeped, I was up already, my bags packed and set to begin a new phase in my life, a phrase with Liam Khan in it.


    ¡°Ding dong¡±


    I rang the doorbell ced outside the juncture I got to his house, patiently waiting for a response when something shed brightly to my eyes, I attained my attention just to notice I was being followed by the journalists, who all of a sudden surrounded everywhere with cameras around, they Veered closer and cornered me, the lights from their cameras shed dazzlingly, urgh! For a while, I struggled to push them off but the more I try the more intense they be, unexinably a hand-pulled me out, as I feel my whole weight on the person in surprise.


    ¡°Liam!¡± I said.


    Everything happened so fast, they surrounded us in every corner, they aimed to know the strange-lookingdy who appeared at his doorstep holding a suitcase, thus ording to them, they thought I must be the hidden woman Liam has been hiding from the world for over some time now, in a real sense I am but his son¡¯s nanny

 Chapter 6 Underneath the tension (6)

    Liam tried exining, as I quietly looked on, the press calmly gave ears to his words, thus, not quite long a feminine voice attainted our attention


    ¡°Liam Khan! Who the hell is she?¡±.


    The press eximed seeing her in such an angry mood, thus gives them the edge for a juicy story on the news this evening.


    The unknowndy, moves closer and the first thing she did was shove me away from Liam¡¯s side, talk about being paranoid, ¡°Tatiana! What the hell do you think you are doing¡±. Liam moves to assist me but the second time Tatiana pushed his hands away, swirling her angry gaze at me, ¡°who are you?¡±. She copied back her words to me ambling forward in my direction.


    I can sense this isn¡¯t Just a mare question but one, that have a lot of hidden meaning behind it. ¡°My name is!¡± I busted out but before I could finish talking, Liam immediately turns her attention over to him, ¡°can you please not create a scene here! The press is here and you know they are drying to see the oue of what¡¯s going to happen?¡±. He tries hard not to get heard by the press, yet the minions in Tatiana¡¯s head controlled her to a point she vented her frustration on him, by hitting a p on Liam¡¯s face.


    ¡°Whoa!¡±N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    We all gazed stunned, I had no idea she would do such a thing, the press all took a photo of that incident idling to see how Liam reacts to it.


    ¡°Everybody leave!¡± He says trying to control his anger, when no one attempted to heed hismand, he yells out, ¡°I said to leave from here! Don¡¯t you understand¡±. Hence one after the other they got into their vans and left.


    Tatiana maintained her angry gaze at him, I have no clue what she thought was going on between us. ¡°Who is she? Liam!¡±. For the third time she airs out her pending question, yet Liam turns to me with a weak smile on, ¡°let¡¯s go Sara!¡± He says hurling his hands out to me, apparently Tatiana attempted the same action she did a while ago but held back the juncture she took notice of the firing gaze on Liam¡¯s eyes, as she quietly watched us ambling inside the house.


    Liam said not a single word to me, I figured he was still be affected by what just happened, thus minus the fact I no clue about her, something within urged me to know the truth, ¡°Liam?¡± I called out to him, idling to see if he will react to it, ¡°what is it?¡± He lets go of my hands recouping his attention to me, ¡°are you okay?¡± I asked in a tiny voice, ¡°yes! I am, why do you ask?¡±. He (Liam) says pushing for a reply, ¡°nothing actually! But who is thatdy standing outside the house?¡±. (Waiting for his response).


    ¡°Whatdy? That ain¡¯t nody, she¡¯s a street hoodlum who in no way behave like ady!¡±.


    He retorts in an aggravated tone, strutting out on me, as I gazed on.


    Two hourster, after settling down, I strolled downstairs to the living room, when my eyes fell on Tatiana¡¯s presence there seated at the porch, she turned her back, so didn¡¯t notice my presence behind, ¡°ma¡¯am! Do I need to call sir Liam toe?¡±. I had no reason behind my question, rather it seems to have stuck in her head the wrong way, as she veered back.

 Chapter 7 Pissed (7)

    ¡°I do not need your help okay! I¡¯ll go talk with him myself¡±


    She pushed me out of her way, heading directly to Liam¡¯s room.


    ¡°Liam!¡±


    She was only a few steps away from entering his room, but preferably decided to yell out his name, immediately it hurled an angry Liam out of the room, ¡°what the hell is going on? Why are you shouting my name¡±.


    The manner he vented out, made her quiver In fear, finally agreed to use her inside voice on him, ¡°I am sorry! I was angry¡± with her gaze ced down she responds to him.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Few minutes passed and I had no idea what they both argued and talked about, but the second I saw them, they both strolled back to the living room, in each other¡¯s embrace. ¡°Okay!!¡± It made no sense to me, in all I had no right to butt in.


    ¡°Sara! Can you please go over to my son¡¯s room and tell me I want to see him?¡± Liam says


    ¡°Yes sir, I¡¯ll do that now¡± I Walked past them heading over to Andre¡¯s room, my feet veered closer, as pushed he door open and saw he wasn¡¯t inside the room, ¡°Andres?¡± I called out to him, yet no answer, I thought It was a joke, but after searching his whole room, Andres was nowhere found, which instantly got me tensed.


    ¡°Sir! I Cannot find Andres!¡±


    Liam jerked up from the couch in disbelief, without hesitation he runs to his son¡¯s rooms and saw he also wasn¡¯t there, ¡°son! Where are you?¡±. Everyone at home searched for him, and not quite long Liam¡¯s phone rang, as he answered without checking the caller ID. ¡°Helo! Who is it?¡± In a shitty attitude, he says idling.


    While Liam talked on the phone, I thought it wise to continue searching, thus the juncture my feet moved a step forward, Liam yells out in shock, ¡°what?¡±. my feet froze as I watched him stagger in disbelief, ¡°Liam?¡± I called out to him waiting for a response, as he veered, ¡± my son had an ident¡±. He conceded to us.


    Liam rushed out of the house, as we followed suit, he drove to the hospital, and at the juncture, we got there we dashed out of the car.


    ¡°Doctor! My son was brought in here, Andres Khan!¡± He walks up to a doctor, looming his eyes around ¡°oh! Mr. Khan, the hospital just called you! My name is Divya, and not to worry, your son is okay, it was just a minor injury¡±.


    We all buffed out a relieved breath hearing the news, Liam asked if we could see him, thus with the doctor¡¯s approval we all head over to his ward.


    ¡°Son!¡±


    Andre¡¯s lifted his head when he heard his father¡¯s voice, the sad look on his face, washes off, ¡°dad!¡± He says with a smile, as we veered closer to the bed he was seated.


    ¡°I have every right to be mad at you? What happened? Where were you and why did you leave the house without anyone knowing, huh?¡± Liam inquires.


    ¡°Am Sorry dad! I only wanted to fulfill the promise we made to mom¡± Andres retorts back, with his gaze pinned down, ¡°what promise! huh!¡±. Liam asked once more, as he retreats to him, ¡°the promise we made to mom, the day she died! Today is her death anniversary.

 Chapter 8 Forgotten memories (8)

    oh my gosh! I cannot believe I forgot about that!¡±.


    Liam pulls a step back as we all looked at him, the doctor walks into the room, gaining our attention, ¡°what is it, doctor? Is there any problem?¡± He asked idling for her response. ¡°No sir! On the contrary, I just need you to sign some papers before you leave!¡± She lets out as he walks away with her behind.


    An hourter, after signing the needed documents, he returned to the room and met us in a heated conversation.


    ¡°What the hell is going on here?¡± He frowns at us, veering his eyes to me.


    ¡°Nothing sir! It¡¯s nothing¡±


    I hid the fact that Tatiana tried hitting Andres, before I could alter more words, the witch lies her way through it.


    ¡°Baby! Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s nothing serious, forget about it¡± she (Tatiana) retorts back eyeing me.


    ¡°Oh okay! Let¡¯s go home¡± he holds on to his son as they both walked out of the room.


    We strolled out as well the moment they did, returning home. Liam noticed something out of the ordinary, cautiously geeking as we left in opposite direction, the second we got home safely.


    The same day, Tatiana stayed in the room, she lifted her eyes seeing Andres strolling in with a pillow in his hand, ¡°what is it, child?¡± He gained his eyes over flipping a dramatic look at her, ¡°why are you still here? I thought you left?¡± He asked as she shoots a devilish smile at him, ¡°aww! I can see you don¡¯t want me staying with your dad but too bad, I am your father¡¯s girlfriend and soon to be his wife, so you better get used to seeing me here¡± she blows a kiss to him, he recouped his eyes back to the door ambling out of the room, apparently when he left Liam strolled out of the bathroom, attaining his eyes to the door, ¡°baby! Did anyonee in here?¡± He inquires but she lies to him the second time in a row.


    So! He had no choice but to believe her, neither did he know that his son came over to the room, Liam wears his pajamas and tucked himself to bed, along with Tatiana who pins a weak smileying beside him.


    The following morning, it was precisely eight in the morning, I got up from the bed and strolled over to Andre¡¯s room, he gets up from bed after seeing me there, ¡°good morning champ!¡± He pins a smile on reciprocating back with his greetings as well, ¡°good morning miss Sara!¡± He says to me.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    I got him dressed for school, we both strolled out to the living room and stumbled on Liam having his breakfast, ¡°good morning dad?¡± Andres sat beside his father, Liam nails a kiss on his cheeks, after being done with his breakfast, ¡°good morning sir¡± he veered back and took notice of my presence, ¡°good morning Sara, hope you slept well¡± he lovingly asked me but before I could get the chance to respond, a voice-assisted out, ¡°I slept well, Baby! Thanks for asking¡± Tatiana let¡¯s out from a far distance, urgh! I wonder how on earth she was able to hear from a far.


    She (Tatiana) sits down at the dining table, and pulls her chair closer to Liam, he shoots a smile at her gaining his attention elsewhere away from her chicky behavior.

 Chapter 9 Oh shit!! (9)

    Afterward, I left to drop Andres at school, leaving Liam behind at the dining table quietly having his breakfast, Tatiana waited for us to leave before altering out. ¡°Liam! Do you need a nanny, you know I can take care of your son, I am your girlfriend remember?¡± She says lifting his gaze upon her, ¡°really! You! Take care of my son! Did you forget Andres hates you; he wouldn¡¯t even let me get married to you, and trust me, he might be a little child but I listen to him always¡±. Liam walks away from her.


    An hourter, I got home and walked past Liam¡¯s study room opened, inside was a photo of a woman hung up on the wall. Thedy in the picture frame wore a red gown with her hair packed up from touching her back, indeed she was like those princesses in a fantasy story.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡¯.


    I didn¡¯t know when Liam walked into his study room, the sound of his voice made it known that his voice was getting aggravated by the moment.


    I veered back to see the anger in his eyes, as he fills up the distance between us within a split second.


    ¡°Sara! Why are you here?¡±. He copies his words to me, waiting to hear the excuse I give him.


    ¡°Nothing sir!¡± I answered back, although I told on it was nothing, Liam shifted his eye to the picture behind me and figured it out.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing? Tell me the truth, you walked in here because of this picture frame right? You¡¯re curious about thedy, aren¡¯t you?¡¯. He says to me and that does about sums up everything. Yes Sir!¡± I said turning my eyes rearward.


    ¡°Okay! Thedy you see on this picture frame is Andre¡¯ste mom, she died of cancer, and right about now, I need you to go out there and help with the preparation of her death anniversary, please¡±.


    I walked out of the room, not a single word came out from my lips, as I veered downstairs to see everyone busy, I walked into their midst and joined in the preparation, thus! A few hourster, we all pack up the decorations we used and left there sparkling clean.


    One after the other, family and friends came in, seated amongst each other in the living room. Not quite long, Liam walks out of this room, holding onto histe wife¡¯s frame in his hand. He was clothed in a ck gown, while beside him was Andres, who also was dressed in the same color.


    They veered closer and dropped the frame at the center of the room, Liam and his son stood quietly, their head ced downwards, as we all did the same paying our respect to thete Mrs. Sonoma Khan, Liam¡¯s and Andres¡¯ste wife and mother.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    For the past two hours, we stay quiet but some people tend not to keep to traditions, Tatiana stylishly sneaked out of the room, with a bottle of champagne in her hand. I still couldn¡¯t find what Liam saw in her, unbelievable.


    (10:00pm)


    I carried Andres back to his room, while Liam thanked everyone for making time to attend his wife¡¯s death anniversary, under such notice, after tucking Andres to bed, I walked back out and saw Liam drowning himself in alcohol. He seats with his hand on his hand, the button on his gown was slowly opening.


    It hadn¡¯t been up to an hour I left him to tuck Andres to bed, and now he ends up creating a mess of himself.

 Chapter 10 Death anniversary (10)

    He lifts his head and saw the long face I had on as he shoots a smile at me. ¡°Hey! you¡¯re here?¡± He gets up from the ground, staggering his way to me.


    ¡°Oops! Be careful¡± I said as he trips on me, reeking of alcohol. ¡°I am fine, Sara!¡± He pulls a step backward, facing the nearest way to his room.


    I watched as he staggered looming his eyes, he struggled to identify his room, ambling into mine.


    He wears off his shirt, falling his whole weight on the bed, as I rushed in to see him sleeping soundly, hurling the bedsheet over him.


    I reinstated my eyes back to the door, but halted when Liam held my hand, he pulled me closer as I fall on him, for someone who I thought was sleeping, he sure knows how to act.


    ¡°Hi, there!¡± With so much love in his eyes, he says to me, shooting a smile.


    I knew it was the alcohol talking and not him, it cannot possibly be Liam, or can it?. I looked on quietly as he tugs my hair behind my ears.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    It felt ufortable to begin this close to him, the smell of his perfume lingered, his eyes refused to derail from mine, suddenly he locks my hands behind my back, ¡°Liam! What are you doing?¡±. I looked back and noticed my arms locked with a rope, returning my eyes to him, ¡°Liam! Let go of me? What are you doing?¡± I copied and pasted my initial words to her, his looks on Slowly pulling down the zip of my gown.


    ¡°Oh shit! What¡¯s his doing?¡± That¡¯s my head talking, and now my lips weave up the same question, ¡°Liam!¡± I called out once more but I felt he was spaced out and didn¡¯t know what he was doing.


    My suspicion came to a halt when he called out a name instead of mine, ¡°Karina!¡±.


    The strange name got me speechless, I should have known it was the alcohol talking and not him, thus if anyonees in here and finds us in this awkward position, all hell will surely break loose, and if Tatiana was the one to see us.


    ¡°Liam!¡±


    I moved my head around, in attempts to block his lips from mowing close to mine, it got to a point, where he held his hand on my face and forcefully pokes his face closer to mine and leaves a kiss on my lips, my eyes widened up in a state of trying toprehend what was happening, he pulls backs after a while and instantly fell asleep, forgetting that my hands were tied behind my back.


    ¡°Urgh!¡± I tried so hard to get it loosened but its knot was tied tightly, I needed someone to untie me¡­

    I turned back to leave so I could get Andre¡¯s help, I veered closer to his room and tried everything possible to ensure I don¡¯te across Tatiana, that bitch has been suspicious about me ever since I came to the mansion.


    ¡°Andre¡¯s! Are you here?¡±.


    I veered into his room and noticed he wasn¡¯t in, I turned to leave but noticed the same person I tried hard not to see, standing right in front of me and with a hard look on her face.


    ¡°I heard you calling out to Andre¡¯s! I saw him walking to the corridor¡± she Informes me, in a rather calm voice, ¡°thank you¡± I said but deep down, I felt she was up to something, she moves out of my way and this time I did not even have to fight for it.

    ¡°May I?¡±


    She tugged her hand out, and I reciprocated by bringing out my tied hand out.


    She warmly smiles, removing the tied knot in my hand, ¡°thank you, Tatiana!¡± Not a word said she moves out of the room.


    The following morning, I had juste back from my early morning jog, I pushed the door open and walked in on Liam seated alongside some men wearing a dark-colored suit.

    Liam pulls his eyes back and saw Tatiana striding out of her room, so he thought Mike asked him about her, ¡°you mean Tatiana? Haven¡¯t you seen her before?¡±.


    It was quite shocking to hear such a question by him, rather Mike puts his question more clearer to him.

    ¡°Oh my goodness¡±.


    I became speechless the second I stepped in, Liam took a nce and smiled seeing how busy I was looming my eyes around.


    We all went to our rooms, my room was in-between Liam and Mike¡¯s room. Swiftly I took a step out and opened the ss door of my room, there I could see from a far distance, thus not quite long both brothers stepped out and at a headcount turned to notice me there.

    She turned and the look of her face shaped upside down the decerning me there.


    ¡°Wow! I cannot believe Sara¡¯s room is so close to your Liam?¡±. I noticed the sentiment in her voice to him rather Liam walked away after giving ears to herment.


    She also moved back in leaving me in the presence of Liam¡¯s younger brother, he says, ¡°I cannot believe Imon nanny can get the chance to travel with the almighty Liam Khan¡±.

    We both walked towards a raft behind the hotel, Liam asked if I could go for a drink, and while I jilted my head, he giggles and went off to get it.


    Secondster, he handed over a drink to me, seated next to me on a boulder, he pins his gaze away and while he wasn¡¯t looking, I quickly gulped down the drink, but ended up shocking myself to death, ¡°hot, hot, my throat is on fire¡±.


    He turned over and saw my eyes burning, I watched as we ran and got me a bottle of water, ¡°here you go, drink¡±. Without being asked twice, I drink a whole bottle, and gradually the burning sensation on my throat case, I could new feel my tongue.


    ¡°What kind of a drink is this?¡±


    I asked him trying to figure out what the heck it was made off.


    Liam let out a soft Chuckle and watched me idil for his response, he says: it¡¯s called the house of the rock and if you would notice, there was smokeing out of it, and also what gave you the idea to gulp it all down in a shot?¡±. He( Liam) asked me and truthfully he was the reason, I thought I would shy away from him but instead, I got myself burned instead. ¡°Nothing Liam?¡± I turned my eyes away from his.

    I turned and saw him chatting with ady there, she doesn¡¯t seem to be Tatiana and for some weird reasons, I was curious about who she was?. From where I was seated I could hear her giggling, it felt like she inhaled a dose ofughing gas. Urgh, it annoyed me to an instant, I rushed over and came between them.


    ¡°Erm! Hello, who are you?¡± She asked smacking her tongue at me. From behind, I noticed Liam took a step backward, quietly watching to hear the response I give to her.


    I took a step closer, poked my head to hers, and said, ¡°I am Sara perkin and you shouldn¡¯t be here, or else you would like what I do to you¡±.


    Thedy veered off and my behavior left Liam speechless, he turned me over and saw the look on my face, ¡± hmm, what did you tell her because I have been trying to get rid of her but she was so strong-headed to leave!¡±.


    Telling Liam the truth might soar a few questions, a question I had no answer to, so in other to be termed safe, I decided to say a white lie, ¡°nothing just the usual talk¡±.


    ¡± what usual talk,¡± he asked curious about it but luckily he attention was whisked elsewhere, as we both returned with our drinks.


    This time I made it wise to wait for Liam and see how he drinks It, I watched carefully, he blows a portion of the smoke off from the drink and gulped it down at a shot. ¡°It will sting a little but not as much as you did a while ago, try it?¡± He guested at me.

    I fell like a log, as we both face each other, he wears a smile removing a strain of hair from my lips, smurfing my lipstick.


    ¡°Beautiful! You have such beautiful eyes, do you know that?¡±.


    I heard him talk and noticed he also was under the influence of the drink we just had, somehow it felt like the whole came to a standstill, everyone around there stopped walking and it was left just the two of us, in each other¡¯s arms.


    Liam had the most beautiful eyes, his hands were soft like that of a baby, we lost gazed at each other when the rest of the family walked in on us, ¡°is that Liam?¡±

    ¡± really! I did something stupid? Don¡¯t tell me, brother, you¡¯re jealous because I can see the jealousy in her eyes, and do not forget your girlfriend is here with you then why are you getting defensive over her, perhaps!¡±. Mike fell deep in thought trying to cook up a story in his head, but instead, Liam held him by his hands and shoved me out of the room.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need to ask if you¡¯re okay because I am certain that you¡¯re not, but I apologize for the misbehavior of my stupid younger brother¡±.

    I thought he might have left the room, I walked back out and saw him seated on the couch with his faces pinned down.


    ¡°Liam?¡±. I called out to him as he recoups his attention over to me, ¡°how are you feeling now! Hope you okay?¡±. He inquired as I replied with a weak smile on my face.


    While he tries to make me feel better, a call came through and it sounded urgent, he lifted his eyes and thought it wise if it would be okay to leave me alone.

    ¡°Hmm! Please excuse me¡±.


    The incident that happened kept reurring back in my mind, I thought it wise to leave and take a stroll at the resort.


    I moved swiftly outside the hotel, a little girl poked me with a stick geeking at me, ¡°hey! What did you do that for?¡±. I pulled down and saw she held a rose flower in my hand.


    ¡°Here this is for you?¡± She says with a tiny voice, striding out in a dash.


    I looked on as she ran further away from my gaze, thus I continued walking. Not quite long, I pumped into the same girl again, and this time she tossed a stone at me which gained my attention.


    ¡°Hey! You again?¡±


    I wasn¡¯t in the mood at all but she kept on repeating her same actions, over and over again. The next time she did such I ran after her, although she was a little child her feet ran so fast directing me to Liam; standing right there and with a rose flower in his hands.

    ¡°Yes sir, I am,¡± I said minus the fact mike wouldn¡¯t stop staring at me, it creeped me out.

    Everyone there turned and watched the show, Liam veered closer and asked, ¡°what are you doing¡±. He tried not to get heard by the rest of us there.


    Tatiana cutely tugged her hair behind her ears, watching him talk, apparently before we could phantom what was going on, she slowly knelt and to add the cherry on top, brought out a ring from her back pouch, ¡± will you marry me, Liam khan?¡±. She shouted to our hearing, as everyone there gasped out surprised.

    ¡°I am sorry Tatiana! But I cannot marry you?¡±.


    Somehow I felt a sigh of relief when he said that but she on the other hand wasn¡¯t pleased with all, she angrily pushed Liam, as he staggered back, also veered to my direction, furiously ambling close to me.


    ¡°Hold on Tatiana!¡±.


    Liam drags her back, whirling me away from her re.

Because I don¡¯t and I do know why you refused to marry after dating for six years¡±.


    ¡°Really, why your highness?¡± Liam asked

    She sewed everyone¡¯s eyes on me, the passers-by talked amongst themselves, I could hear people say, I was liams Mistress that¡¯s why he refused to ratify Tatiana¡¯s request.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be foolish and also Sara had nothing to do with my decision¡± he says explicable but she and everyone else thought otherwise.


    I noticed tension gradually building and I was the center of it all, so I deemed it necessary to leave.

    ¡°Tatiana! I do not want any trouble?¡±. I said


    ¡°Of cause not but you will if you don¡¯t quit your job, right here and right now!¡±. She answered back.

    Liam then cuts him short by continuing his statement, ¡± or else what? Huh! What will you do mike, do you also want to p her or beat her up the same way you beat your girlfriend¡±.


    Mike returned his attention to him, and retaliated in a pissed-off manner, he angrily jabbed his brother, depleting Liam to the floor. And if that wasn¡¯t enough, he tried to repeat the same action but this time, Liam counter-attacked by jabbing him on his paunch, he dropped to the ground like a log.


    The situation escted to a point I yelled out, attaining everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Enough, what is wrong with you both?¡± I said ambling closer.


    ¡°Stay out of this Sara, don¡¯t make me p you!¡± Mike threatens attempting to do it but Liam nudged his hands away and with a warning, ¡°don¡¯t even dare? Or else you will regret it!¡±. He says to his brother who angrily walked out of there clenching unto a Tatiana.


    I watched and saw the tension between both brothers, all because of me, maybe Tatiana was right! It was best I quit my job, and look for another.


    ¡± Liam?¡±


    He turns and notices the look I had on, thus before I could air out my feelings, he said and I quote, ¡°you are not quitting your job, okay, you do well-taking care of my son and he loves you, so please before you act on it, think how my son will feel?¡±. Liam walks out on me.

 Chapter 19 Acceptance

    I buffed out a deep breath, when I felt a hand ran through mine, I whirled and saw Andres holding me.


    ¡°Miss Sara, are you going to leave dad and me?¡±. He asked in his little voice, I bent over hurling him close to me, ¡± no! I am not! Until your father gets a new caretaker for you!¡±. I said.


    Like a kid, he frowns his face and pulled my hands away from his shoulders, his demeanor changed towards me, ¡°why miss Sara? Don¡¯t you love me anymore? Remember you promised that you will not leave me then why are you saying this?¡±.


    It hurt me to see him like this, during my stay, I have gotten to love him as if he was my son, but with what happened I felt it was best, I left, never to return in their lives.


    While I tried to find my words to exin, I had no idea that Andres took hold of a broken bottle from the ground, he pulls out his hand in an attempt to injure himself.


    ¡± son! No?¡±


    Thankfully Liam walked in back on time and yelled out, which immediately gained my intuition, I veered and saw the broken piece in his hands, I tried toe closer but he fixed it closer, specifically warned I don¡¯t take anymore step closer to him.


    ¡°Son, what is wrong is with you, please stop it?¡±. Liam veered to us but his attention was fixed on me.


    ¡± so tell me to miss Sara, are you going to leave me, if you say yes, I would kill myself!¡±. He says tugging the broken piece nearer.


    Liam veered and signaled I do something about it, ¡°please?¡± He whispered to me, frightened for his son¡¯s life.


    I stood there without saying a word, I thought of the more difference it will create if I continue to stay around, Andres looked at it and the juncture he tried to run the broken ss through his hand, I immediately tossed it away finally weaving out my answer, ¡°fine, I¡¯ll stay!¡±.Content ?

 Chapter 20 Behind closed doors

    The following morning, after the whole incident yesterday, I got up feeling hazy from the bed, urgh! I grumbled wearing a frown when I took heed of a knock on the door, I opened up the door and saw a man holding a camera around his neck.


    ¡°Sorry, who are you?¡±


    Curiously I asked him as he nudged me away, forcefully gaining ess to my room, like a creepy lunatic he took pictures of my room, he whiled and snapped me in my nightwear.


    ¡°What the hell! Who are you?¡± I copied and pasted back my words to him, as he retorts back with a wired question, ¡°so tell me miss Sara Scott, why are you hell-bent on destroying the lives of two people in love?¡±.


    His question made no sense to me, it was either it was a silly joke or someone paid him to act such an expensive joke on me.


    ¡°Look here mister, I do not know what the heck you are saying, so please get out of my room, if you don¡¯t want me to call security!¡±.


    In an attempt to act on what I said, I veered to leave when he dragged me back, pushed me on the bed, and forcefully tries to take advantage of me.


    ¡°Help¡­ me¡­ anybody¡­ Liam!¡±.


    I struggled to break free from his grip, the more I try the tighter he gripped me. I thought everything was about to end luckily Liam was about to leave his room, then noticed the door to my room opened, he rushed to see me in a Delima.


    ¡°Hey! Get away from her¡±.


    He pushed him away, paving way for me to get up, the man tossed and turned on the bed hence Liam jabbed him when he attempted to escape from the room.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Miss Sara, are you okay?¡±.


    I hoisted up my eyes and saw them standing right in front of me, Andres pulled me in for a warm hug, while the rest watched quietly without saying anything.


    I buffed out a deep breath and returned to the hotel, next to me was Liam and his son, both walked behind as returned to my room.


    I sat down on the bed trying to wash off the frightening feeling around me, my hands kept trembling in fear but halted when Andre¡¯s ced his hands on mine.


    ¡°Shh! Don¡¯t be scared miss Sara, papa and I are always here for you!¡±. He says shooting a warm smile at his father, who veered closer and ced my head on his shoulders, ¡°I am here with you! Don¡¯t worry¡± a weak smile smudge on my face, calmly resting on the shoulders of my boss.


    I dozed off while resting on his shoulders, slowly he removed my head gentlyying me on the bed, Liam yelled on to his son ambling away.


    ¡°Dad! Is miss Sara going to be okay¡±. He looks at him with a frown striding Into the room.


    ¡°Yes son, do not worry yourself, miss Sara is a strongdy, she will be fine!¡±. Liam pins a kiss on his cheeks when Mike walked into the room.


    He ps as a sign of mockery, gaining Liam¡¯s attention, ¡°oh wow, brother! You sure care a lot about your nanny?¡±.

 Chapter 21 Closer than usual

    Liam lifted his gaze at him, as he veered closer, ¡°yes! Like any other person, I do care Mike, so what are you saying?¡±.


    A weird expression draped around his face (Mike), ¡°oh please brother, don¡¯t preach the act of humanity to me, but you do know the importance you give to her is quite different from what you give other, brother!¡±. He retorts back to him.


    ¡°How! I don¡¯t understand¡± Liam fills up the space between them looking into the eyes of his brother.


    Mike veered a step, ¡°what don¡¯t you understand? Can¡¯t you see or you just don¡¯t want to¡±. He turns to his nephew who kept geeking at them, sewing Liam¡¯s eyes as well, he says, ¡°Son, can you please excuse your uncle and me, why don¡¯t you go and out and have an ice cream, I¡¯ll meet there when am done¡±.T¨ºxt ?

    They watched as he veered away in a hurry, before they proceeded with their conversation, ¡± so tell me mike?¡±.


    Liam turned to his brother who keptcking his eyes through the window, ¡°what is it brother, ? What should we talk about?¡±.


    Mike swerved his attention back and saw the straight look on his brother¡¯s face, ¡± wait? You still don¡¯t understand what I am trying to say? Perhaps you need to search your heart and see where Sara lies in that heart of yours ¡°He leaves Liam alone with his thoughts.


    Meanwhile, an hourter, amotion attained my attention, I jerked off from the bed and veered out of the room.


    I walked closer to the lobby as I noticed a press conference was being held there, startled by it, I moved closer bumping into Tatiana who nudges me away from her, ¡± hey look where you are going too?¡± She says to me in a pissed-off tone.


    Liam sauntered passed, and dragged me away, she viewed as he took me in front of the shing camera and reporters who impatiently lingered to know the reason behind his sudden press conference held and so was I.


    The whole room went quiet, as we all listened to him talking, ¡°thank you all foring under short notice but I have an important decision to make, which will not only change the life of my family but someone too¡±. He veered to me, proceeding again with his statement.


    ¡± I have finally decided to get married!¡± He conceded to us, but the question was to who? As we all stared at him.


    Tatiana fell her eyes to mike who shoots a weak at her, attained back their attention to Liam once more, so he said, ¡°I know the whole world knows about my rtionship with miss Tatiana Riyadh, and right here, right now, I; Liam khan, sever all ties with her¡±.

 Chapter 22 Marriage?.

    Before I could say a word, Liam walks out of the press conference, leaving me behind in the hand of the journalist there who cornered me, somehow I managed to get away going over to Liam¡¯s room.


    In a haste I walked in without knocking, he turns and puts of the call from his ears, eyeing me.


    ¡°Seriously, ma.. marriage?¡±.


    I needed an exnation from him, ambling towards the direction he stood geeking at my tensed mood, so he says and I quote, ¡°I know you are shocked by the sudden decision to marry you but trust me, I did everything just to save yourself¡±.


    What he said made no sense to me, how could getting married to me save my life, it¡¯s creeped me out because this ain¡¯t no zee world series we watch on television.

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, the truth and nothing but the truth¡± he reads the expression on my face, as he proceeds to talk.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    Quitely I listened to the truth he urged to tell me, why? I asked myself, who will want to take my life just because they think I was having an affair with Liam, apparently I my mind lingered over to Tatiana, but per Liam¡¯s Instructions, he specifically told me not to say a word nor have a confrontation with her, for the sake of my safety and that of his son.


    The news circted the whole city and the world, they said and I quote; ¡°Liam Khan ends up breaking up with his long-time girlfriend and tends to marry his son¡¯s nanny¡±. While the rest said, ¡°diamond in the rough, amon nanny marries business tycoon Liam Khan¡±.

    He (Mike) saw how strong-headed his brother had be, not pleased about it, he walks out of the room.


    While ambling further, he passed the bar area and caught a glimpse of Tatiana, who drowned herself in alcohol. She staggered intoxicated and unknowingly bumped into him standing behind with a straight face.


    ¡°What Mike! Don¡¯t give me that face, my life as you know it, is over, the man I have loved for more than two years now, is nning to get married to his maid, who he kept saying he had no atom of feelings for her, so tell me, why then Is he marrying her?¡±. In a tipsy mood, she asked, falling on him.


    They both shared an eye lock, mostly staring at each other¡¯s eyes, but the whole romantic moment came to an end when the press took a picture of them from a distance, camping out without being noticed.

    ¡°Champ! are you okay?¡±. I inquired ambling closer, as he veered back, ¡°yeah, just missing my mom¡± he opens up the truth to me.


    I wore a weak smile and pulled him in for a warm hug, although I might not be his real mom but having a son like him, would be a wonderful gift God gives me.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I am here for you¡± I whispered to his ears, sporting a smile on his face.


    Eventually, we pulled away from each other, I noticed he had a huge smile on his face, his cheeks fluttered and I know, he had something to say to me.

    ¡°Hey! Bestie¡­e.. in¡±.


    He took a few minutes until he decides to step his feet into the house, Christain loomed his eyes around approaching towards my direction, he says and I quote; ¡± what is it that I am hearing? Are you seriously getting married to Liam Khan, your boss?¡±.

    The whole question and answer felt like a childish game to me, and I know when ites to games, Christain will always want toe up on top.


    ¡°Please excuse us, Liam¡±.


    Before they get to finish each other¡¯s sentence, I dragged Christain over to my room, closed the door behind, and regained my eyes to him.


    ¡°What the hell was that?¡± I asked waiting for a reasonable exnation.


    ¡°What is what Sara? Please don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to marry a man like Liam Khan?¡±.


    I get this weird feeling every time I hear someone call his name, Liam Khan, there¡¯s a little dose of Power attached to it, it¡¯s crazy but who wouldn¡¯t want to be associated with a man like him.


    ¡°And if I say yes, what will you do?¡± I ran a check on him as he pulled a step backward.


    ¡°Nothing Sara but I warn you, Liam Khan is not to be trusted¡±. Christain quietly walked out of the room, as he made sure his words sank through my head, ¡°urgh! Drama king?¡±. I frowned going back to the leaving room.


    And if that wasn¡¯t enough drama, I walked back and saw Liam in a shocked expression, he felt like he has just seen a ghost, as he sewed my eyes decerning a youngdy, wearing a huge smile on her face.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±.


    Now was my turn to ask the same question Liam did not quite long ago, thedy veered closely to Liam, as he pulled backward in shock.


    Thedy had the most innocent look on her face, her hair was tied up together with a bow on her head, finally, she falls her eyes to me and walked close, introducing herself.


    ¡°Hello, my name is Elena Kahn, I am Liam¡¯s wife¡±.


    Did I pull back creating a distance between us, how? When? I don¡¯t understand¡± I said to myself, but suprisely the pending question I had was answered by Liam himself, I quote ¡°you are not my wife, remember you were dered dead, did you forget?¡±.


    He walks up and pulled her away from me, they both had this angry look on their faces, but not as much as Liam who folded his hands in anger.


    ¡°Okay, I know that I did wrong but do you want to me me? I was only a child and being in a rtionship and also pregnant wasn¡¯t something I wasn¡¯t?¡± She says hurling her hands away.


    ¡°Really, wow, you can be so selfish, how dare you,e back here and say such rubbish to huh! For over twenty years, you left me and my son alone, I knew how hard it was for me to take care of him, I tried to give him but the love of a father and a mother¡±. He says in a high tone.


    Elena weaves out a deep breath, as she Veered and saw her son, startled by the sight of her.

    Elena tries to go after him, but halted when Mike held her, ¡°where do you think! You¡¯re going?¡±. He inquires knowing fully well the answer to his question.


    She runs a serious look at him, veering a two-step backward, ¡°get the hell out of my way Mike, or else you won¡¯t like me at all?¡±.


    The threatening voice she used, lowered his eyes down, he moves out of her away like a good little boy, as she veered over to Liam¡¯s room.


    ¡°May Ie in, Liam?¡±.


    It gained his attention, as he gave in to her words, Elena moved closer to him wearing a weak smile.


    She says: ¡°I know you might be shocked but let me exin myself, please¡±.


    Her magic words urged Liam to give ears to her exnation, he seats on the bed idling for her exnation.


    Elena pins a weak smile on, after seeing his cold reaction, ¡°your anger is justified Liam but let me exin to you¡± for the second time she copied back her words to him, rather her words cooked up negativity in his head, he gets up from the bed and dragged her out to the living room.


    We quivered in fear the second we took heed of her words, she begged him to listen as they veered closer to the front door.


    ¡°Get out¡± he nudged her out, trying to close the door but she stopped him blocking it with her hands, ¡°listen please¡± she pleaded once more, yet he wasn¡¯t in any way ready to hear a word, I watched as he gently pulled her hands away swiftly closing the door.


    He swiftly closes the door to her face, veering his feet away, Elena kept calling out to him, as he moved further away, Mike swooped in to convince his brother, thus stopped talking when he noticed the gaze Liam had on.


    Apparently, after a while, we heard a vase shattered to the floor, immediately I rushed out, pushed the door open to see Elenaying unconscious on the ground.


    ¡°Liam?¡±.


    The tensed demeanor I portrayed triggered his attention as he rushed out behind and saw her unconscious as well.


    He carried her up from the floor, gentlyying her down on the couch, afterwards, the doctor came home the moment he was notified.


    ¡°We¡¯re going on doctor?¡±.


    We all looked on, idling to hear his response, a whileter, he turns over, gloomy was the look he had on which got us tensed.


    ¡°So?¡±. Mike cut in and asked as he finally weaves out his mouth open. ¡°Erm! I am sorry but she has leukemia! That is a cancer of the blood¡±.


    We were all stunned by the news, Liam held a hand on his chest, as he walks out of the house, hence the juncture I turned to go after him, I caught Andres behind, mostly staring at his mom.


    He veered away in shock and as well ran back into his room, I had two options, it was either I go after Liam or his son, but in all, they both needed a shoulder to cry on.


    ¡°Andre¡¯s! Champ are you okay¡±.

 Chapter 26 Too much to drink!!!

    After getting Andres to sleep, I strolled out of the house in search of Liam.


    My eyes loomed around in fear, decerning he was nowhere found within the house.


    Mrs. Smith, the caretaker of the house, walked out to be seated in the corridor of the house.


    ¡°Looking for Liam? I know where he is?¡± ..


    She veered back my eyes to her as I inquired impatiently waiting for her response, Mrs. Smith says in a lowered voice, ¡°she at the yground, he normally goes to cease himself¡±.


    I inquired about the direction to it, she in return writes down and watched how I rushed to meet him.

    ¡°Liam?¡±.


    I Walked straight to him, yanking the bottle from his wine, angered by my attitude he gets up from the ground, attempting to take it from me.


    ¡°Give me the bottle right now!¡±. He says swiftly getting close to me.


    ¡°No Liam, I will not, look at yourself, you¡¯re fucking wasted!¡±.


    I answered back, apparently, I thought it wise to gulp down the remaining alcohol left inside the bottle as he brings out another bottle behind him.


    ¡°What, don¡¯t give me that look! And before you preach to me the dangers of alcohol, please go home and take care of my son, he needs you more than I do!¡±.


    I quietly looked on, and decern how much Liam tries to bottle down the pain he felt, the emptiness in his heart when he saw the woman who was supposedly dead, walks back into his life.


    He staggered him away seated back at the Riverbank, I ambled close seated next to him. Liam veers and saw the long look I had on.


    ¡°Why the long face Sara, it¡¯s not as if I am dying, right?¡±. A weak smile spots on his face.


    I shook my head in disapproval, answering back to him, ¡°look, Liam, I understand what you are going through but please!¡±.


    He swoops in before I could finish my statement, ¡± please what! Huh! Do you even know what I am going through? The pain, not only for me but my son, I watched the corpse of my wife, being taken away after giving birth to him, for more than a year, I acted the duties of a mother and father, so don¡¯t tell the sappy stories of understanding¡±.


    Liam¡¯s anger was justified, and if I was in his shoes, I would do worst, so I said, ¡°okay then, I won¡¯t try to understand anything but I¡¯ll dly join you and while away intoxicated¡±.


    I pulled out the bottle from his hand and gulped it down, the effect of the previous one mixed up with this, as it got instantly got intoxicated from it.


    ¡°Urgh, my head hurts!¡±. I grouted out my words.


    Liam printed a smile on his face decerning me intoxicated for the second time, as I identally fell over him.


    ¡°Urgh!¡± His back hits the floor, as we both gazed lost at each other¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°You do know you cannot hold in your alcohol because when you are drunk, you bring out the crazy version of yourself. Liam says to me in a sweet tone.


    I tugged my hair behind my ears, shooting a shy smile at me, finally pulling away.


    I said, ¡°woe Liam, I didn¡¯t know you knew me that well!¡±.


    ¡°Of cause I do, after all, you are my son¡¯s nanny, and you¡¯re different from the rest!¡±. He smirked veering his eyes aside.

    ¡°Hmm¡±. I struggled but gave in to the burning sensation I felt within, his kiss snaked through me instantly I reciprocated by flinging his shirt off him.


    Our body met in harmony irrespective of the cold, the steamy feeling we shared plunged into a burning desire.


    He nudges me down, pinning my hands on the ground, yfully wiggled his tongue in mine, I moaned softly enjoying the warmness of his body.


    Liam runs his hands on mine, like a gentleman, he swiftly explored my body, as we both made love drifting off in each other¡¯s arms.


    Meanwhile, Elena regained consciousness, she walked out to the living, inquiring about Liam¡¯s whereabouts, Mike ran a serious look on avoiding her question.


    ¡°Ain¡¯t I talking to your mike, where is your brother?¡±.


    Mike¡¯s cold demeanor prompted her to ask, the same, he pretends not to hear a word she says, quietly he gets up from the couch and walked past her.


    Hence the minute she veered back to attain his attention, Liam and I ambled in as she turned to us.


    I had to take a few steps away from Liam because I knew Elena will in no way be happy if she finds out what went on at the yground between her husband and me.


    ¡°Liam, and the nanny, where are you bothing from?¡±. She weaves out suspiciously.


    Liam veered closer and stopped when he filled up space between them, he says¡±why are you asking? Beside ain¡¯t you supposed to die and out of my life?¡±. (Liam walked past her).


    I spotted a weak smile she had on, veering him back, ¡°oh my, you ain¡¯t the same Liam before, who professed his love to me?¡± Elena answered back in a sarcastic voice.


    ¡°Aww, listen to your words sweetheart, and notice when some things can never be fixed, like you said, before, I love you a long time ago but not now, not ever, and even in my death¡±. He finally walks away leaving her in a furious state.


    Elena thus decides to pour out her anger on me, she returned her eyes furiously ambling towards my direction.


    ¡°You so-called nanny! What did you do to Liam?¡± She idlis for my response.


    I had no idea what she meant by such words to me, and truthfully I did nothing to warrant Liam¡¯s change in behavior.


    ¡°Erm, I am sorry Elena but I do not know what you are talking about, I did nothing to warrant Liam¡¯s change in his behavior!¡±.


    I tantly told the truth, but she seems to think otherwise and askes me the strangest thing.


    ¡°Are you sleeping with my husband?¡±.


    I gasped out the moment she made that known to me, minus the fact of what happened between us, I need not lead Elena on, so I decided to y the clueless game with her and swore Liam and I have nothing to do with each other, ambling away.

    Hello guys, thank you so much for reading through the first phase of ¡°THE NANNY AFFAIR¡±.

    Hate, envy, jealousy, enveloped their lives the moment Elena walked back in.


    She wasn¡¯t the only one who hated their rtionship. Tatiana (Liam¡¯s girlfriend for three years) and his younger brother, Mike, who magically left his life back at saint Louis, hated his brother¡¯s rtionship with her, (Sara).


    Slowly they all hatched up a n to get her thrown out of Liam¡¯s house, and life, oblivious to the fact that a single mistake can threaten the life of Liam¡¯s son, (Andres Khan) a four-year-old boy who longed to have a mother figure in his life and luckily his prayers was answered when Sara took up the responsibility and showered him with unconditional love . ¡­.


    Minus the fact Elena, his biological mother¡¯s presence was hovering over him like an evil spirit, Andres however still wanted Sara in his life no matter what she does.


    (Read to find out, what sinister n, Elena Khan, plots to destroy the woman who ording to her, took her family away).

    God bless?.


    Let¡¯s move on with the story ????


    It¡¯s been a year since I started working at the Khan mansion, Andres and I had an unbreakable bond as well as Liam, well you can say, we shared other night under the moonlight, and with the stars, the breeze, and nature as our witness.


    I know it¡¯s crazy but as the day goes by, I see myself falling for my boss and I am so certain that evil eyes arerking around, paving the way to strick, but in all, I don¡¯t mind giving up my life for the man I love and for his son, ¡°oops, sorry I meant my son, Andres, a little child that has given me love in return for mine.


    Having them in my life brings nothing but happy moments, I could remember the day Liam took Andres and me to the funfair, it was a whole day together, mostly with him, Liam was a carefree lover and a best friend, most importantly a good father, I haven¡¯t been able to see a father who loves his son as Liam does! That is one of the attributes he had that made me fall madly in love with him.


    ¡°Hey, nanny Sara?¡±


    I jerked back to my senses the second I took heed of Elena¡¯s deep voice, I withdrew my eyes away from Liam after she caught me stealing nces of him.


    ¡°Do you need anything Elena?¡±. My whole mouth weaved open asking her.


    The happy look I had, made her vicious, she shook her head disapproving my question, and veered to watch me walk away.


    The moment I closed the door to my room, she screeched out of anger, when Tatiana and Mike walked in and saw the look on her round face.


    ¡°Urgh! I wonder what¡¯s her problem, with the supposed dead wife?¡±. Tatiana whispered to Mike who shook his head responding to her.


    Elena turned and saw them talking among themselves, ¡°what¡¯s going on over there?¡± Her voice quivered them both in fear, shredding out their words at the same time.


    ¡°Ok, I cannot understand a word you both are saying but that¡¯s not my business, how about we y a little game with the life of the fairy tale princess who¡¯s upstairs in her room¡±.


    Elena idlis to see the reaction they give out to her, ¡°erm, I don¡¯t understand, what game Elena?¡± Mike asked in curiosity, same goes for Tatiana who jilted her head scared.


    ¡°, Urgh! Don¡¯t be a scary cat and join me y, after I know you both hate the so-called nanny so much or am I lying?¡±.


    Mike shared a nce with Tatiana before he turned back his attention over to her, he says and I quote, ¡°Okay, I do know we all hate Sara but my question is, what games?¡±.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    She weaves out a soft Chuckle before replying to him, ¡°let me guess, is Mike getting scared? How about you Tatiana, am sure you will be so happy to see Sara dead, won¡¯t you?¡±. Elena pins a weak smile on her face.


    Before we could get the whole thing together, Tatiana epted Elena¡¯s request, idling to hear Mike¡¯s words, apparently, also he epts, as it gives Elena an edge against me.


    (8:00pm)


    A few hourster, Liam called me from home, he specifically instructed me toe to meet him at Starbucks hotel, a two hours drive away from home.


    Thereafter putting Andres In bed, I dressed into the attire he gifted for the surprise he has for me.


    Slowly I walked out of the house, as I tried not to gain ess to the rest of the family¡¯s attending.

 Chapter 29 Shh!!! Let鈥檚 dance

    The moment I left with the driver, Tatiana walked out and saw me inside the car, she curiously asked herself where I was heading too but Elena walked out and puts her pending question to rest, by informing her about the ns I had with her Liam at the hotel.


    Afterward, I got out of the car the moment it stopped at the entrance of the hotel, I walked into the elevator as it takes me to the fifth floor, room number (305). I could feel my heart beating so fast, as I slowly get close to the room.


    ¡°Liam! are you in here?¡±.


    I pushed the door opened and strolled into the room decorated with flowers and on the bed was a letter addressed to me.


    The letter says, ¡°inside the restroom is a red gown waiting for you to put on, pleasee over to the beach afterward¡±.


    Following the instructions, I wore the dress gifted to me by him and strode out to the beach, as I walked in on a romantic dinner waiting for me.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    ¡°Wee Miss Sara Scott!¡±.


    Liam wraps his hands around me Lovingly, the warmth of his embrace smudge a smile on, as he varied me and ced a kiss on my lips.


    I savored every moment, to me, Liam¡¯s kiss was like a sign of life to me, crazy but it¡¯s love.


    He holds me by my left hand and sits me down on the chair, plopping opposite to me.


    I should have known Liam wasn¡¯t going to stop putting a smile on my face, ¡°I love you so much, Liam Khan!¡±. I blurted out without thinking, hence he reciprocates with his gesture of love too.


    That wasn¡¯t the whole surprise, we had an after celebration in the room when we returned.


    ¡°Lock the door,¡± I said feeling uneasy,


    He veered and closed the door, removes his shirts off, and slowly fills up the distance between us, nudging me on the bed.


    Liam leaves his signature from my lips, after that he moves to my neck and down to my thighs.


    Each passing day, he explores every weakness of mine, I didn¡¯t mind such things happening between us, because I was madly in love with my Liam, and I know he loves me back.


    Our body moves together in rhythm, as he slowly jerked me on the bed, they say slow and steady wins the race but in this case, Liam swiftly made me enjoy every bit of his body on mine.


    Lips to lips, body to body, heart to heart andstly our souls Intertwined together, there¡¯s a huge difference between making love and having sex, thus in my case, we both made love and it¡¯s always magical having it with the man I love¡­


    06:35 pm.


    The smell of freshly baked bread weaves me out of bed, I tracked down the smell and noticed it steamy hot on the table for me.


    ¡°Good morning sunshine!¡±.


    Liam walks out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.


    ¡°Good morning, Lee¡±


    Lee was short form for Liam, I loved to shorten the names of the people I love.


    He gets close to me and gives me a morning kiss, kindly preparing his clothes to leave the hotel.


    We both returned home the second we found my shoes, which got missing basically because ofst night.


    I knew Liam and I had a rtionship without telling anyone, who I am sure already figured it out by reading the writing ced on the wall.

 Chapter 30 Suspicious

    ¡°well, well, well, isn¡¯t this lovely, two love birds walking in the same time, may I ask? Where were you bothst night?¡±.


    Elena¡¯s curiosity quivered me, I pulled a step away from Liam, gaining her attention.


    She says, ¡°aww, don¡¯t try to shy from answering me sweetheart but Liam can answer right honey?¡±.


    Cold less and emotionless, Liam walked past, without altering a single word, Elena smirked veering her eyes to him.


    ¡°Hold on Liam!¡±. She says


    ¡°What is it?¡± He turns to her wearing a straight face.


    So she says, ¡°today is my birthday!¡±. Idling to see how Liam reacts to it.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Liam¡¯s wraps a bbergasted re on his face, veering two steps backward, says¡± look, Elena, this should be the first andst time, you tell me anything about yourself, the same way you Forged your death and pretended all this while, please do same and act like you dead¡±. (Unfroze and walked away).


    She yells out her frustration and walks back to her room in an angry mood.


    A whileter, Elena draws Mike and Tatiana, as both veered in and saw her holding a knife in her hand.


    Afraid of death, Tatiana tried to go back but Mike locked the door, instantly gaining her attention.


    ¡°E.. Elena, you sent for us?¡±.


    The fear in Tatiana¡¯s eyes spotted a weak smile on Elena¡¯s face, she walks up to her, holding out the piece of the knife to her powered face.


    ¡°Are you scared of drying? Don¡¯t be because I am not going to kill you but the stupid one who calls herself, Liam¡¯s sweetheart, Sara Scott¡±.


    Taking heed of her statement, she lets out a deep breath, veering her eyes away.


    (They continued talking) (inaudible conversation).


    ¡°This will be the best birthday party ever!¡±.


    She deviouslyughed, the moment she told on the entire n to them.


    (9:09pm)


    Liam had just returned home from working all day, he veered In and took notice of the extravagant party, Elena was throwing at home.


    ¡°Baby wee home, love¡±.


    Lie a saint, she pulls him over and warmly embraced him, ¡°what the hell is this Elena?¡±. His voice whispered to her eyes, as she retorts back to his, ¡°what hell does it look like, am saying hello to my husband, and after all, it¡¯s my birthday¡±. (They both pulled away from holding each other.


    Liam had to act like a gentleman, he left her alone, heading to his room. The noise of the party, firmly nudge him to a point, he opens and walked out to the party, just to see his wife, flirting with another man.


    He dragged her to a secluded spot and tantly warned her to call off the party, but as we all know, Elena was as stubborn as a mule, she refused to say a word and walked past him.


    Not quite long she left, the journalists corned him, to inquire about his wife¡¯s suddening back to life.


    Apparently while exining, there was a ckout at the mansion, thus for some strange reasons, it only affected us, the rest of our neighbors had light.


    I walked out to get the candlelight, identally jumped on the moment I felt something pass through under my legs, it was dark so I couldn¡¯t see what it was.


    ¡°Please excuse ma¡¯am, do you need this?¡±.


    A waiter passed a torchlight to me, I thanked him and veered upstairs in search of the candles.


    ( Hours passed away).


    Finally, the light got back on, Elena signaled the waiter¡¯s to bring in her cake, the guests there sang and wished her happy birthday, hence in the midst of all going on, something was being done behind their back.

 Chapter 31 Bagged up

    urgh, I cannot believe, Elena wants us to do the rubbish, what if we get caught¡±. Tatiana says veering her eyes back to see if they were being followed.


    ¡°Idiot! If you keep looking back, we might get caught, help me get her body inside the car!¡±.


    She runs to and lifted a wrapped package into the car, meanwhile back at the party, Liam got uneasy when he got to know, I had left to go storage room and haven¡¯t returned.


    ¡°Sara?¡±.


    He Veered further to the storage room, but something out of the normal caught his attention, he nced through the window and saw a car moving out of the mansion, before that Mike and Tatiana had gotten back into the house.


    He walks into the room, I was presumed to be in and veered back, the moment he couldn¡¯t find me there.


    Elena shoots a weak smile, sighting Liam from a far distance, he made further inquiries about my whereabouts, yet no one has seen me after I left to the storage room.


    He thought it wise toe to find me, as he dashed out of the house like a lunatic.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Hold on a second Liam, where do you think you are going to?¡±.


    He halts the second, Elena uttered behind him, veering his attention to her.


    ¡°And why are you asking? Oh wait a minute, where is hell is Sara, because I know you, Elena, you ain¡¯t someone that is going to kept quiet all this while?¡±.


    A tensed mood draped around her face, she gasped out stunned at his question, before answering back, ¡°you must be a fool to think I have anything to do with the disappear of your dearly beloved sweetheart, hmm!¡±. Elena lies through her teeth, veering backward.


    Liam had no choice but to pretend he believed her, he swirls back at her, when a call came through his phone.


    ¡°Hello, who is it?¡±. He says in a pissed-off tone, Elena thought it was a business call, she veers as well to leave but stopped when Liam yelled out a name.


    ¡°Sara, what happened to you? Where are you?¡±.


    Elena¡¯s eyes changed, her demeanor darkens, locking her fist in a fit of rage.


    After a while her partners, Mike, and Tatiana walked out to meet the angry look on, stylishly in other not to get shouted they tried to leave.


    ¡°Take one more step and I swear to God, I¡¯ll kill the both of you¡±.


    They froze like an ice pack, heeding to her threats, she walks over and attained the eye she had on directly.


    ¡°Tell me the truth, did you do exactly, as I instructed?¡± She waits to hear their response.


    ¡°Yes.. we Did Elena, why are you asking?¡±.


    Mike¡¯s question, instigated her to the wall, that she retorts back in a raised tone.


    ¡°Then tell me why isn¡¯t Sara dead yet? Luckily I was here and knew she called Liam to save her, you idiots!?. Her frustration pours like rain on them, Tatiana alleged the problem to Mike, but rather Elena leaves her hand on her face by pping her.


    ¡°Tell me one more lie, and I promise to kill you and send you straight to hell¡±. She angrily shoved her aside ambling away.


    06:00am


    Although the night Elena couldn¡¯t sleep, even after throwing an extravagant party at home, she fixes her eyes on the clock hence when it clocked, 8:35 am, she took heed of Liam¡¯s voice from the living room.


    ¡°Please be careful okay,e on¡±.


    Quickly she rushed out of her room and saw me in Liam¡¯s arms as he lifts me from the ground and walks over to my room.

 Chapter 32 Game plan

    Tatiana took heed of what happened, and rushed over to Mike¡¯s room and got him informed.


    Her voice shredded out to him, it felt like she was scared of Elena, well who shouldn¡¯t, if a woman can be able to fake her death what else won¡¯t she be able to do.


    She wasn¡¯t the one who feared for their life, Mike as well feared for his, ¡°what should we do because I cannot live in this house for another day¡±


    Unknowingly the same person they spoke off, walked into the room, as they both looked on tensed.


    ¡°Oh ok, is everything okay?¡±. She asked them, in a headcount they shook their head answering her back.


    ¡°Okay then, I need your help?¡± She lets out once more, idling to hear their response.


    ¡°Not again?¡± They head both thoughts the same thing, wearing a fake smile at her (Elena).


    Meanwhile, Liam got me to my bedroom, hurling the windows open, Andres rushed into my room the moment he heard I had returned home.


    ¡°Miss Sara, are you okay¡±.


    He filled up the distance between us, falling his whole weight on him.


    ¡°Urgh, I am fine,¡± I said back.


    Liam wears a smile seeing us in such a loving way, he walked out of the room leaving us behind.


    Not quite long, he holds a cup of tea in his hand, he pulled out his hand to me and urged me to take it, so it would give me strength.


    I did has he said and when I tried gulping it down, Tatiana rushed in and tossed it away from my hand.


    We all look surprised at her behavior, Liam angrily pushed her forward, asking for an exnation.


    ¡°I¡­ Elena¡­. poison¡­?¡±.


    We couldn¡¯t make known the words she says to us, Liam sits her down on the couch and gave a time out to get herself together and exin.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    My eyes widened up, when she told me on the tea Liam prepared for me was poisoned by Elena, and even though she would love to see me dead, she cannot end up going to jail for it.


    She runs out of the room after apologizing for everything that happened, It shouldn¡¯t be of a surprise to me because Elena has always been a sick lunatic.


    In a fit of rage, Liam walked away to confront her, I knew his pissed-off behavior can be fatal.


    Luckily Elena was nowhere to be found at home, and that she left going somewhere in a hurry.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    The whole day ran by the speed of light, Mike has just gotten back from work and decides to get a good night¡¯s sleep everything vanished the moment he caught Elena inside his room.


    ¡°Ha¡­ How.. what are doing here Elena?¡± He asked in curiosity, hence she retorts back by tossing ahead of Tatiana right to me.


    ¡°Ahh, oh my God, you killed her, why?¡±.


    He quivered in fear, maybe I am the next in line, he says to himself.


    ¡°Well yeah, she proved to be stupid, when she got my n to kill Sara for the second time fail, I had no other option but to kill her¡±.


    It joys of saying what transpired between them both, creeped him out.


    He says in a shaky voice, ¡°so are you here to kill me? And besides what the hell do you want from my brother, if you don¡¯t love him then kindly leave¡±.


    ¡°Kindly leave?¡± She copied back to me, continuing her statement, ¡°now listen to me, whatever I want I¡¯ll get but as for Liam, I cannot let him be happy with some other woman, okay, so now I need you to n the ultimate n with me¡±.


    ¡°What n?¡± He asked without having any other options.

 Chapter 33 Quite early

    The following morning before I got up from bed, Mike had dressed up his nephew, asked for breakfast to be made, and waited for us to get down from our rooms and saw him.


    ¡°Bro, that¡¯s new, your early this morning and so is my son, did you get him ready for school?¡±.


    Liam and I took a nce at him, as he shoves his mouth with bread.


    ¡°Yes brother, now that everything is going well, I figured it¡¯s best I changed!¡± He says falling his eyes to Elena who gives him a sign.


    I looked and suspected that something might be wrong, I had this hunch but couldn¡¯t ce my fingers on it.


    Liam kissed his son as walked beside his uncle, heading over to the school.


    After a while, a call came through thendline, I was close to the phone so I picked up the call.


    ¡°Hello?¡± I said idling to hear that other people at the end of the phone.


    No one seemed to say anything, thus when I pulled the phone away from my ears, immediately I took heed of a child¡¯s voice crying through the phone.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± I yelled out attaining Liam¡¯s attention over to me,


    ¡°What going on¡± he takes the phone from me and the moment he ced the phone on his ears, he took heed of Elena¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Come over to the cliff, outside the house?¡±. She puts off the call.


    He walked out of the house, as I followed suit wearing a gloomy look on. Somehow I feel the child¡¯s voice was that of Andre¡¯s, it might be? I said to myself but the pending question I had became answered when I saw Andres tied against his will, besides was Mike shook his head in disproval.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    ¡°Andre¡¯s¡± I attempted to run out to him but instead Elena points a gun at my head.


    ¡°Dear Nanny, take a little step and I swear I¡¯ll kill you?¡±.


    She nudged me away, finally falling her eyes to the one she wants.


    ¡°Hey, baby? How are you?¡± She minds no one but whiskered closer.


    ¡°What the heck is this Elena, why are you doing this, you ask as if, Andre¡¯s isn¡¯t your son¡±. Liam says scared of his son¡¯s life.


    The fear he felt made her happy, she responded with a dance, ¡°I do know he¡¯s my son but what can I do? I love money and not my son not you, I do know that I gave birth to him but whatever, our son is so unfortunate to have a devilish mom like me¡±.


    Angered by her words, he pped her on her face, as we all looked on surprised, I knew Elena wasn¡¯t going to back down without a fight, she veered back and dragged her son up from the ground.


    I watched as he cried out of pain, continually struggling to break free from his mother¡¯s grip.


    ¡°Elena stop it?¡±


    I finally decided to take the bull by its horn, as they all looked at me.


    ¡°Hmm, the nanny, who not only falls in love with her son but is also sleeping with me, how, low can you sink Liam¡± Elena falls her eye to him, as he veered his the other way.


    I walked in between them and recouped her eyes back, she says ¡± you should be thankful Elena, everything I tried to get rid of you backfired, you are so lucky.¡±. She timed out before continuing talking. ¡°How can fall for a man like Liam khan, the almighty business tycoon, oh! It¡¯s too bad because I¡¯ll have to kill you as well as everyone else here¡±.

 Chapter 34 No!!! Please don鈥檛?.

    We all looked tensed and saw that she held Andres close to the cliff, thus any foolish mistake of hers and end in tragedy, can this day ever get any worst?.


    ¡°Please Elena, I am begging you, please don¡¯t do this?¡±. Mike says tied up behind his back.


    His words made no sense to her, she decides to go as the lead, by running a bullet to his head.


    ¡°Noooooo¡±.


    We quivered seeing Mike on the floor, spitting out blood from his mouth, she tried to veer closer but hits her leg on a boulder, identally hurls andres over the cliff.


    ¡°Andre¡¯s¡±.


    Before Liam could react, it was toote, he had fallen into the river as the water watched his body away.


    Out of resentment, he turned to Elena in an aggravated mood, apparently, Elena who still had no atom of feeling left In her, she didn¡¯t even act like something just happened.


    ¡°You.. are.. so.. wicked¡­ heartless.. you.. killed.. my son¡±.


    Liam rushed out to her like a wounded lion but rambled back when she points a gun at him.


    ¡°Where are you going somewhere?¡± She says deviously smiling at him.


    ¡°I¡­ hate.. you.. Elena¡­ I hope to never have my path, cross to mine because I curse the day I met you¡±. Liam spits on the floor, disgusted by her behavior.


    Liam¡¯s hurtful words to her nudged her to the wall, she retaliates by pulling the trigger.


    The bullet ran his way through Liam but instead hits me when I decided toe in-between.


    ¡°Urgh¡± Liam watched me fall, widening up his eyes in disbelief, Elena saw this as an opportunity to take him down as well. She shoots Liam on his porch as he fell next to me.


    ¡°Good riddance to bad rubbish!¡±.


    She uttered, happily dancing around our dead bodies, I spit out blood veering aside and saw Liam¡¯s body next to mine


    I struggled to get a hold of his hand, tightly held unto it. Is this the end of God? I asked myself, don¡¯t I deserve my own happily ever after? Will, I also get to lose the one I love, after losing my parents in a fatal ident, and now this happened?


    I veered and saw Elena as she drove off, it allowed me to get up from the ground wounded, unfortunately, my luck seems to have run out; when Elena¡¯s car returned and she saw me.


    ¡°My oh my, the nanny as nine lives! You never seem to amaze me, Sara¡±.


    I watched her amble close to me, in a shapeshifter form, ¡°Elena, why did you do this?¡±, I asked her.


    ¡°Why did I do what? I told Liam, I¡¯ll tell you also, I love money, I desire riches and fame, do you wanna know why I returned?¡±. She asked me once again but continued talking after reading the gloomy look on my face.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    I felt disgusted by her words, only lunatics would n to kill her very own family all for a silly little million of dors.


    ¡°You Will surely pay for this act, Elena! Someday¡±.


    I said following thew of karma, rather she replies with a question, ¡°who¡¯s gonna make me pay when you¡¯re going to die?¡±.


    (Elena pulls the trigger, as it ran through me).


    ¡°Aww, don¡¯t say anything Sara and besides you can stay with your newly found family in heaven but not in this lifetime, bye sweetheart, and I hope our paths never cross¡±.


    She tossed a kiss at me, as I depleted lifeless to the floor.


    The news got to the journalists, as they all came in numbers and verified the truth, Elena cried out her eyes out, tantly lying through her teeth.


    She med Tatiana for the death and lied about it, when she brought out the supposed ter she got trying to escape from the same person who was killed by her.


    If there was an award for the best actress in the world, it would be given to her because she was such a lying bitch.


    (Elena continued conversing with the press).


    Thereafter, she Veered back into the mansion wearing a satisfied look on, she stepped forward but halted seeing the picture frame of her family.


    ¡°Too bad things have to end up like this but you should know, I, Elena Khan doesn¡¯t lose¡±. (She unfroze and left her room).

    *****


    After several attempts to stop me froming back to my birth city, I finally did.


    I am Andres Khan s Salem Baltimore, a tall, handsome, blue-eyed businessman who loved nothing but to see to it that my so-called mom, dies by my hands the same way she killed my family.


    I walked out of the airport, got into my car, and drove off in my preferred directions.


    While driving memories of when I was a kid shed before my eyes, I also passed dad¡¯s and my favorite Ice cream parlor, before Sara, my loved nanny, who was like a mom to me,e into my life.


    ¡°Will it be the same taste?¡± I said myself, I stopped my car and ambling out to go try It out.


    My eyes fixed through the front door but when it wandered away, ady walked past and by her looks, made me think it was my nanny Sara, my curiosity came to an end when I ended up getting pped in return for my emotions getting the better of me.


    ¡°How dare you hug me! Who are you¡±.


    The furiousdy asked me and truly I had no idea who I am because I bear two identities, Andres Khan and Salem Baltimore, but she need not know that, I then told her the one needed to hear.


    ¡°Sorry, I thought you were someone I know and my name is Salem Baltimore¡±.


    I noticed that the furious re in her eyes washed away when I introduced myself, shooting a weak smile, it crazy to think that my nanny would still be alive, talkless of my father.


    I turned to leave but she held me back recouping my eyes over to her again.


    ¡°You¡¯re just leaving, you don¡¯t even know my name?¡±.


    On a scale of one to five, her name was slightly not needed but as a gentleman, I had no choice but ask.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± I waited for her response, as she innocently responded to me.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    ¡°My name is Riya Khan, daughter of Elena Khan!¡±


    I turned and saw how much she boasted about her family, it¡¯s cute because I was once like her.


    ¡°It cannot be the same woman, can¡¯t it?¡± I asked myself, listening to her chattering the time away.


    After her introduction, I finally stop at the ce I called home a long time ago, the Khan¡¯s Mansion, I swiftly approached the front door, recalling my life there with my family.


    ¡°Mr. Salem Baltimore¡±


    A voice let¡¯s out to me the moment I veered inside, and there she was, the same woman who gave me life and yet decided to take it away.


    ¡°Good afternoon, Mrs. Elena¡±.


    I said veering my eyes downwards, as she swiftly approached me.


    ¡± Wee dear, I have been waiting for you! I hear you studied ounting in the university, Mr. Shane has said so much about you¡±.


    I know it¡¯s crazy to work for the same woman who soiled her hands in blood, but what choice do I have, I needed to infiltrate and this was the only possible way for me, by pretending to be a loyal ounting manager to my own father¡¯spany.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am, I did study ountancy and is ready to serve you, always¡±.


    Elena has always loved when people bow their hand before her, it tickles her fancy and boosts her deviousness.


    ¡± awesome, if you continue like this, you will go far Salem!¡±. She shoots me a boastful smile.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡± I answered back when Riya walked in and saw me.

 Chapter 36 You?

    ¡°Salem? What are you doing here¡±


    I veered back and saw the same girl I ran into a while ago, it could only mean one thing, Riya is the daughter to Elena, I should have suspected when she called her name.


    ¡°Baby! Do you know him?¡±. Elena asked covering her attention to her, Riya shook her head and exined what happened a while ago.


    Elena falls her eyes and asks me the weirdest question, ¡°who did you think, she was the moment you hugged her?¡±. Elena inquired.


    A weak smile drapped around my face, I exined my self telling a white lie, surprised she believed, and ask Riya to walk me to my room.


    Slowly we walked closer to my room, she pushed the door open, and guess what? It was the same room I stayed in while growing up.


    My eyes loomed around the room, Riya walks in behind and saw the stunned look I had on my face.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± She asked gaining my attention, ¡°I am okay Riya¡± I answered back with a weak smile.


    I tried to hide the raging emotions I felt, being back to the same home I once called mine, I took notice of my pictures hung on the wall and walked close to it.


    ¡°Do you know him?¡± She asked once again, ¡°no! I do not!¡± I lied to her because the little boy in the photo frame stands in front of her.


    ¡°Hmm, Okay, mom says he died in an ident, with his father, after they tried to steal from her! Like who steals from his own family¡±.


    My eyes widened up heeding to her words, it felt like Elena was trying to turn her family into a raging monster, but In reality, she was the monster.


    h h h h h¡± Riya bs her word to me, quietly I listened but when she attempted to call my father a gigolo, it nudges me to the wall.


    ¡°Enough Riya, don¡¯t talk about the dead okay, have some respect and if you don¡¯t know anything, why don¡¯t you shut up¡±.


    Without thinking I yelled out my frustrations on her, she veered back sensing a weird aura around me.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    She says ¡°Salem, are you okay and why are you getting defensive about people you don¡¯t even know and don¡¯t you dare talk to me this way, I am your boss¡¯s daughter and my mom won¡¯t lie to me okay¡±.


    Urgh, defensive again about the same person, if only Riya could see that the woman whom she loves so much, is a devilish witch, I believe it will bring her back to her senses.


    I bottled up my anger and apologize to her, Riya shouldn¡¯t be med because she follows the rules and regtions of the one she called mom, someday her blindfolds will fall and she will know who Elena Khan truly is.


    ¡°Excuse me¡±


    I ambled out of the room as she watched me leave in a pissed-off mood.


    I veered down the stairs and bumped into a youngdy, ¡°hey look where are going too?¡±. She angrily pushed me back, lifting my eyes to her.


    I was so not in the mood to banter words, I walked away leaving her in disarray.


    ¡°Idiot!¡± She turns and watched me leave.


    I walked over to my car and rested my back on it, Riya¡¯sment harmed me but if that wasn¡¯t enough, a man almost ran me over with his car.


    The car screeches over in my direction).


    I stood my ground and watched as he walked out of the car when he finally took notice of me.

 Chapter 37 Trouble

    Are you mad trying to get yourself killed?¡± He says to me in a loud tone.


    Before he got the chance to banter more words out, I forgot my hand on his face, I pped him, Instantly hurling Riya out of the house.


    ¡°What?¡±


    She rushed and pulled him back, attempting to pay back my actions, Riya raised her hands and almost tried to p me.


    Amazed she stoped when Elena walked out and asked the reason behind themons out here.


    Riya shoots the whole issue out of proportion and tantly lied to her mom, shocking thing happened, Elena, asked for my side of the story, in which I told on the exact truth Riya forgot to tell her.


    Immediately she pushed Riya out of her way and once again pped the same person I did.


    It¡¯s shocking to see Elena wasn¡¯t hesitant to defend me if only she knew the truth that hides behind the curtains.


    ¡°Mom, what is this?¡±


    Riya couldn¡¯t believe her eyes, veering her attention to her, ¡°why did you sleep David mom, I do not like it one bit, Salem here was at fault¡±. Once again she mes me but rather got her mom¡¯s response with a p on her face.


    ¡°Now listen to my ungrateful thing, don¡¯t you ever think of speaking such rubbish against Salem, ever again, got it?¡±. Elena warns her daughter.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡±


    Riya walks back in holding unto David, who shoots a re at me.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Guess, maybe the odds in my favor, if Elena could defend me after a short while of letting me into my house, is my mom! Going soft or she¡¯s just acting like she normally does?¡±.


    ¡°Am sorry about my daughter¡¯s behavior and trust me, I¡¯ll teach her a lesson, please pay no attention to her.


    Elena tantly apologize to me, and veered away the second she finished exining herself clear to me, Elena is hiding something, my mom isn¡¯t someone who says sorry without any hidden reason behind it.


    I got back into the house and tucked myself in bed, until the following morning.


    ~~~ question of the day?


    1) is Elena truly a changed person


    2) is there a sinister n behind her sleeves or


    3) does she know something about who Salem Baltimore is? That he is her son?.


    Read to find out, but first what awaits Salem in the morning when he wakes up from the bed.


    Continue ( following the next morning).


    My rm beeped me up from bed, I veered downstairs after being Informed I needed toe down for breakfast.


    I walked in and saw it was a full house, everyone shoots a smile at me except Riya, she was still pissed of about what happenedst night.


    ¡°Good morning everyone¡± I greeted ignoring the childish attitude a grown-updy, shows to me.


    While eating I could notice the hissing she made, knowingly trying to get me irritated by it, still I ignored her and kept enjoying my food.


    ¡°Excuse me, mom¡±.


    She gets angry after being aware that her attitude towards me made no effort to get me upset. In the attempt to walk out of our presence, she trips and falls t to the floor.


    ¡°Urgh¡±.


    No one told her to get up after embarrassing herself, a weak smile smudge on, she veers and saw I was a little pleased by it.


    Like a four-year-old girl, she vented her anger on the floor and walked straight into her room.


    ¡°Dramatic¡± I smiled enjoying the rest of my breakfast.

 Chapter 38 Self pity

    Amidst the whole drama, another unfolds when we took heed of a youngdy running in.


    ¡°Methane, what happened?¡±. We curiously got up from the chair and veered closer.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am¡­. the..pany.. fire.. at.. the.. warehouse¡­¡±.


    I looked on trying to understand the words she says, it made no sense but when she got a chance to get herself together, it was told that the warehouse in which they kept supplies caught fire and also took the lives of two of the workers who were caught in the fire.


    Elena took a step backward in shock, she almostnded on the floor but when noticed I pulled her up with the hands she strangled years back.


    After a while, we both got to the site and saw the warehouse as been brunt down and everything inside it.


    Elena walked further scoring her eye around, quietly I stood and watched, finally gaining methane¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Who are you by the way?¡± She asked after recalling I was the same person who bumped into her.


    Before I could introduce myself, Elena let out from behind, she says ¡± his name is Salem Baltimore, the new managing director in charge of the finances of thepany, and thankfully he¡¯s here because I need his help!¡±.


    It felt good seeing her singing my praises, minus the fact that it was met to me In my job description, it was also my father¡¯spany, and as well, it is my solemn duty not to let anything happen to the legacy Mr. Liam Khan left for me.


    Elena gave me the go-ahead and sends methane to also help me out in doing my job.


    She shoots a fake smile and honors her boss¡¯s request, such a loyal worker, isn¡¯t she?.


    The whole day ran by quite quickly, I returned home and the moment I took a step forward, a hand pulls me back and throws a push at me, luckily I had quick reflexes I bent down as it flung over my head.


    I had two options, it was either I pushed his soul out of his body or walk away as a gentleman should, but in all David had so much to say, I almost took the first option.


    ¡°What the hell is going on here?¡±


    Riya rushed like David was getting ughtered by me and veered him away from my presence.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Urgh! Ever since I took my step-in, everyone seems to try getting on my nerves, mostly Riya, she has a way of bringing the worst out of me. (Annoying).


    An hourter, I read through the financial statement of thepany, it seems like a certain amount of my was missing because the numbers don¡¯t add up at all.


    ¡°May Ie in¡±.


    I lifted my gaze and saw Elena standing outside my room, ¡± yes ma¡¯am¡± I said as she walked closer to me, she says and I quote, ¡± thank you so much for helping me out, I know I am asking much of you but please thispany means a lot to me, it was myte father¡¯s, but after my husband tried to steal from me, he left thepany in disarray¡±.


    And there she was, ming others for her crime, I should I know, wicked witch can never change, a witch will always be one, and my mom is the queen mother in the witches Kingdom if there is any.


    I had no choice but to y in her game, somehowter, it will be my turn.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay ma¡¯am, I understand, Riya told me everything, how have you been doing ma¡¯am¡±.


    Self-pity was the main aim of the annoying way of getting my fake sympathy,(witch).

 Chapter 39 Drama queen

    She poured out her heart to me, it was left  to confess her undying love to me, but that wasn¡¯t my main concern, I needed to find out something important from her.


    So I said,¡± erm, ma¡¯am is there any chance that a certain amount of money might be missing from thepany?¡±.


    She ran deep in thought trying to gather up the whole truth, ¡°no son, I don¡¯t think so because ever since our ount resigned from his post, Stan my sister¡¯s husband have been the one handling me,


    Is it possible that stan might be responsible for the missing money and besides if I have gotten the chance to get to know him, he might as well been called uncle?


    ¡°Okay, ma¡¯am, I¡¯ll go talk with him tonight!¡±. I said as we both left his room.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    We moved closer and walks in to see he was surprised in a hurry to go leave.


    ¡°Oh good morning Elena, what brings you to my room?¡±. He asked falling his eyes to me.


    Elene have me the go-ahead and I told on the real reason behind our sudden visit.


    He frowns for a while before weaving his words back to me, I quote, ¡°okay, I do know about anything rted to the missing money, and besides I wasn¡¯t the only one who controlled it, Tina did as well, my wife¡¯s sister, do you remember Elena?¡±.


    Stan shifted the suspicion to her, and I knew if we go on to ask, she might direct us to the next person, something is up.


    Afterward, we left his room, Stan poked his head outside and caught us ambling in the opposite direction.


    ¡°How am I going to find out that truth? It felt like everyone around wears deviousness in their faces, I had to think of something unless I might end up running in mazes.


    Well, luck seems to be on my side, when I noticed a camera nted in my room, I pulled out a chair and climbed on to confirm my suspicion.


    I never knew there was a camera home or maybe Elena nted it there, to check up on me, she never seems to surprise me.


    ¡°If I was Liam Khan, where would I hide the CCTV footage from, I had to find it out and check out the footage to see who¡¯s telling the truth.


    Quickly I rushed out of my room in search of it, my feet moved closer to the storage room, strangely something dragged me inside, that¡¯s where I saw the CCTV footage of everywhere and what everyone was doing, ying right in front of me.


    Out of being careful, I pushed the door closed, sat down on a stool kept there, and carefully watched through the footage.


    Footage ying¡ª¨C


    Stan paced like he killed a person in the room, I sewed my eyes after and caught Riya misbehaving in her room, I caught her dancing to k. pop music, gosh, she was such a terrible dancer no wonder she locks herself in the room.


    An hour passed nothing seems to gain my attention but everything changed when ady veered in and to my surprise, methane was the person.


    ¡°Hello, uncle Stan, why did you send for me?¡± She says veering her back.


    Something felt fishy, I erged the image so I could hear their conversation.


    ¡°Methane, I am in deep trouble, Elena found out about the missing money from thepany, all thanks to the new worker she employed¡±.


    Methane was in no way pleased by mying, she let out in a creepy demeanor.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay uncle, I can handle him, what¡¯s his name again, oh yeah! Sm Biltmore, and trust me, he won¡¯t be able to find out anything, okay?¡±.


    She assured him that if only she knew who¡¯s she trying to mess with.

 Chapter 40 Locked up

    The minute she walked out of the room, I also veered back to leave just to notice the door has been jammed shut.


    ¡°What the hell?¡±


    I tried all I could to break the door but I ran out of energy, hence i was left doing the only thing I never knew I would.


    ¡°Hello, anyone there, please help me¡±.


    In my quest of finding out the truth, I got myself in deep shit, and to add up to my problems I was ustrophobic, my breathing increase as I banged on the door non-stop to a point I fell to the floor unconscious.


    Luckily, someone heard me and rushed in to see the depleting look on my face, apparently when I peeped to see who it was, Riya screamed out and rushed to send help.


    ¡°Salem? Son are you okay?¡±.


    I opened up my eyes to see everyone in the family staring worried, Riya stood behind her mom stealing nces at me.


    ¡°I am fine ma¡¯am! I just had a panic attack!¡± I said letting out a deep breath.


    Elena pins a weak smile andughs, attaining a confused look on my face.


    She says ¡± I am sorry forughing but you reminded me of someone¡±. And by that, she meant my father, her husband, Liam Khan.


    A weak smile smudge on, being aware of who she reminisced about.


    ¡°Riya, kindly go to the kitchen and get Salem a ss of warm milk¡±.


    She walks away listening to her mom¡¯s words, one by one everyone at the room left, not quite long Riya frowns as she walks into my room and ced the warm ss of milk to me.


    ¡°Make sure you drink it, she says to me!¡± Ambling away, ¡°thank you Riya¡±. Suddenly her feet froze the second I thanked her for what happened, still not a single word was said, she walks away leaving me alone in the room.


    9:00 am)


    I couldn¡¯t get myself to sleep, no matter how hard I try, ¡± a good stroll would help me a lot!¡± I said to myself, as I wore my jacket and walked out of the room.


    The house was a quiet as a graveyard, the fountain water surprised seized working, I veered closer trying to figure out the problem when a shadow ran past me immediately gaining my attention.


    In a curious look, I looked on trying to find out who the person was and when I got to find out the truth, I saw Elena talking to a strange-looking man.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    ¡°What is going on here and who is that man?¡±. I sneaked behind a truck ces there and listened to her conversation.


    Elena says in a pissed-off mood¡± don¡¯t give me that okay, and find a Sara, I don¡¯t want her anywhere close to me¡±.


    The strange man kept on insisting that she finds someone else to find her because, if the issue gets heard by the police, all hell will surely break loose, and walks away.


    Do I need to know if it the same Sara I not, is she my nanny? Or someone else that bears the same name as her?¡±.


    The pending question I asked myself got cleared up when Elena swore, says and I quote, ¡°no, this cannot be happening! Sara Scott cannot stay alive! She has to die one way or the other, the same way I killed her lover and my son!.


    Angered by her words, I closed my fist, as I walked back into the house, after such affirmation.


    But before I do anything stupid, I have got to find my Nanny!. Smiles.

 Chapter 41 Ahhh!!! Don鈥檛 you dare

    I returned back into the house and walked in on Riya¡¯s heated conversation on the phone and guess what, it was her boyfriend, David.


    She yelled at him through the phone, boy was she mad, her anger can burn down the whole house, if not being taken care of.


    she veered and saw me staring at her, ¡°what?¡± Riya says in a pissed-off mood, to avoid getting her aggravated mood passed on to me, I walked over to my room.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The following Morning, the calmness of my heart sank me to sleep, but eventually, a certain someone had to ruin it for me, by shouting at the top of her lungs gaining the whole family¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Riya, what is it?¡± Elena and everyone in the family rushed out with her hands on their head and guessed why she shouted? Be she saw the whole house decorated with flowers, urgh! What a drama queen.


    ¡°Mom, why is everywhere decorated?¡± She asked as if she was against it.


    ¡± What do you mean why? Did you forget that you getting engaged to David, this evening?¡±.


    I veered to see the next drama she puts one, little by little, I see no difference between Elena and her, both knew how to be overly dramatic.


    ¡°What?¡±.


    She yelled out and continue yelling to a point that a ss ced at the table, shattered! LoL, don¡¯t mind me, I was only trying to picture her shouting and maybe the shattered ss from the cup, pierced Elena, at least it will make my job easier.


    But on a serious note, Riya was in no way pleased by her mom¡¯s decision, surprised but why then does she act like the perfect girlfriend with him, anytime she sees me there.


    Elena dragged her away, as they both continued chattering with each other, my second duty was to kept watch on everything going on, and saw how gloomy Riya looked after she spoke with Elena.


    ¡°Ungrateful bitch¡±. Elena vents her anger and left her sad.


    The whole family left to their room, no one came to console her, as they all look on and left to start their day.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± I asked being concerned about her, Riya turns and before I could get my words together, she runs over and hugged me.


    *She snobs softly while hugging me, minus the annoying side of her, I wouldn¡¯t let her continue crying and not because of a woman like Elena, who¡¯s not only selfish but a murderer.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay don¡¯t cry anymore!¡±


    Slowly I ced my hands on her hand, being a gentleman, but it felt like the demon in her plunged out, and she pushed me away from her.


    ¡°How dare you touch me, huh!¡± Riya says to me.


    Urgh, seriously, it was either she¡¯s crazy or most likely to be possessed by an evil spirit.


    ¡°Oh don¡¯t make meugh Riya! I do not get pleasure touching you, and if I want to touch anyone, it would never be an angry, resentful woman like you¡±. I asserted out her crazy attitude.


    She gasps out surprised but also vents her anger to me, ¡°really, resentful woman like me? You don¡¯t know what I been through okay and what I am about to pass through right now, so Mr. Baltimore doesn¡¯te here and tell me to rubbish okay because you don¡¯t know me¡±.


    Riya¡¯s eyes teared up saying that to me, it felt like she was trying to send a piece of coded information , or trying to transfer her aggression on me. ( She walks away).


    An hour passed, yet I still couldn¡¯t stop feeling guilty for saying such words to her, I know I might be rude, hot-tempered sometimes but I haven¡¯t been rude to a girl before, it¡¯s just that Riya  has a way of bringing the beast in me, to sum of everything, she¡¯s annoying as hell, wonder how David keeps up with her.

 Chapter 42 Bad ache

    The next morning, I woke up and saw the ongoing preparation of Riya¡¯s¡¯ engagement, speak of the devil, she hisses the moment she took a nce at me. Drama queen!.


    Elena was a lot pleased about the whole celebration, whereas thedy who is supposed to be her daughter wasn¡¯t, Riya for some reason tried earlier to back down from the alliance.


    (8:00pm)T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The subsequent day, precisely eight in the evening, the whole Mansion was filled with lots of guests who veered in and out with gifts.


    I watched by the side and saw the whole family smiled and weed everyone in, in the eyes of the society, they were one happy family but behind, all danced in shadow.


    A call came through my phone, as I rushed upstairs to answer it, I walked past Riya¡¯s room and caught her crying alone, I know it wasn¡¯t my business, I just cannot stand seeing tears in her eyes, and before you think anything, no! I am in no way falling in love with her. (Frowns).


    Riya? Are you okay?¡±.


    Immediately she tried to stop the tears from falling, veering her eyes away from mine.


    ¡°What are doing here, why can¡¯t you leave me alone?¡±. She says turning her back on me.


    Urgh! Riya has a way of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, I still don¡¯t understand, how her brain works, evidently if we use the right side of our brain to think, Riya uses her left, because she can¡¯t possibly say something good.


    The call I was supposed to answer but stopped all because of Riya, came in again, and as much as I¡¯ll love to speak with her, this was much important, I veered out as she turns and watched me leave.


    I walked past and stumbled on a conversation that was meant to a secret.


    Curiously I took heed of David¡¯s words to a certaindy, who unfortunately I wasn¡¯t able to see her face.


    David says in an aggravated tone, ¡°please don¡¯t tell me that, you do know why I am marrying Riya, and pretending all day acting stupid¡±.


    I had no time to waste, quickly pulled out my phone and recorded everything, at this might help Riya a lot and finally put an end to this engagement she¡¯s anticipating for.


    I veered closer to gain more information, identally a vase fell to the floor gaining David¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± He says moving towards my direction, before I get caught I left from there, heading to the party.


    Afterward, Riya walked downstairs wearing a royal blue dress and a crown on her head, she looked like a princess going to meet her prince but in this case, her prince was two-faced.


    Elena walked beside her and brought her to her soon-to-be husband.


    She signaled as the rings were sent out and given to them, with a frown, she pushed a hurtful Riya, who veered and slowly moved to put the ring on his fingers.


    I had two options, it was either I get Riya engaged to a man like David or stop this alliance. Before I could say a word, Riya retaliated by tossing the ring to the floor.


    ¡°I am sorry ma! I am not going to get engaged to David¡±.


    Everyone at the party gasped out surprised by her words, I Knew Elena won¡¯t just quietly listen to her without doing anything.


    In a fit of rage, she raised her hand to p her, but veered to the side, when she noticed her hands were held back against her will.

    ¡°Now kindly exin to me? What the heck do you think, you¡¯re doing?¡±.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Elena asked a scared Riya who couldn¡¯t stop crying our eyes out, and the more she kept crying the more mad Elena would be, I just had to butt into their conversation again.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am I can exin, why she acted in such manner¡±.


    Elena immediately shoots her eyes over to me, idling to hear my response.


    ¡°Look ma¡¯am, while I was on my way to the living room, I caught David here talking to herdy and !!!¡±.


    I tantly told everything to her, the video was a piece of evidence I have against him, but when David proved to be an idiot and continue lying, he pushed me to show the recorded video I took of him with thedy, I couldn¡¯t see.


    If there was one thing Elena hated was when someone tries to take her as a fool, she held him by his shirt and beat the daylight out of him,


    After getting my work done, I walked to my room, Riya lifted her eyes to me and pins a weak smile on, she watched me leave, because of such betrayal Elena throw everyone out of the party like a lunatic and I Know the press won¡¯t keep quiet about this tomorrow in the newspaper.


    The following morning, I got up quite early for work hence when I took a step forward to leave, a noticed the newspaper arrived and Elena got a hold of it before I could.


    ¡°Whaaaat¡±.


    She yelled out after seeing herself on the front page of vivas newspaper, on the front cover there was an allegation made against her for the death of David, who was supposedly beaten to a pulp by her.


    It gave me absolute pleasure seeing her in disarray, the fear in her eyes made me happy and now this is just the beginning of her downfall.


    I left before everyone at the family got to find out, and rushed downstairs seeing her in such a shocked demeanor.


    (10:00pm)


    I returned home and noticed how quiet everywhere was! I soared my eyes around to check if anyone was at home.


    ¡°Hello, Andres khan!¡±.


    My feet froze heeding to my real name being called out to me by no other person but methane herself. She filled up the distance between us, veered my eyes to hers, and read on the look on my face.


    ¡°Methane, I don¡¯t know who this Andre¡¯s Khan, you speak off!¡±. I said in a straight face.


    Methane giggled out returning her eyes over to a photo frame behind me.


    ¡°I know, he is! Andre¡¯s Khan and not you¡±. She says, lifting a huge weight on my shoulders.


    This has got to be a sign from God himself, I need not be careful when ites to Elena but also methane, Elena¡¯s assist, that girl can be dangerous if she sets her mind to it.


    And if that wasn¡¯t enough, the press found their way inside and requested to speak with Elena Khan.


    I sent one of the maids to call her, she walks out after a while to meet them, ¡°thank you everyone foring!¡± She says feeling dried out.


    Elena was put under pressure when she couldn¡¯t answer some questions asked to her, ¡°what happened to David?¡± They were all eager to know the truth.

 Chapter 44 Unknown help

    I had no idea what pushed me to help her, I veered the press attention over to me and specifically made it clear that Elena had no hand in the disappearance of David, Riya¡¯s fiance.


    ¡°Thank you so much, today you did what no one else could, you have earned my trust!¡±


    A weak smile smudge on my face, and gosh it¡¯s felt good finally getting the trust of the person you hate, even the Bible says, keep her friend close and your enemies closer than ever.


    I got into my room, and saw Riya waiting Inside for my return, ¡°really? What are you doing in my room Riya? Haven¡¯t you heard of privacy?¡±.


    Immediately the glitter in her eyes and the angelic mood she wore vanished into thin air, as usual, she banters words with me.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Urgh! I am not in the mood Riya! Just tell me why you are here?¡± I frowned flinging my shirt off my body.


    ¡°Eww! She turns her back, shying away from me, ¡°what are you doing? Are you getting shy?¡± I wore a weak smile on ring at her.


    Like a little child, she covered her eyes with her hands and avoiding looking at me.


    ¡°Urgh! Calm down Riya, it not as if we rted by blood¡± I said gaining her words to me. ¡°Are you serious, but I am mom Elena¡¯s daughter¡± she says oblivious to the fact that she wasn¡¯t in any way rted to her, but due to her parent¡¯s inability to pay up the debt they had with Elena, Elena decided to take her as coteral for the money not being paid, my mom seems to amaze me, ( Riya rushed out of the room).


    The moonlight illuminates through my window, I got up from the bed and veered to close up my curtains when suddenly a gunshot was fired through my window, aiming it bullet at me.


    Luckily I was saved by the medallion I got from my nanny Sara when she was alive, indeed I am very lucky.


    Hence when the strange man saw that the bullet didn¡¯t touch me, he ran for his life. Elena as well as everyone rushed to my room, they thought I must have been dead but fell surprised decerning me alive after an attempt was made on my life.


    ¡°Son, are you okay?¡± Elena asked me.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡± I smiled falling my eyes to Riya who looked at me shocked, behind her was methane, and by her looks something needed to be done against her.


    The next morning, I left quite early to the office, behind I called a private detective and specifically asked him to investigate methane drew, Elena supposed royal worker, and get it back to me through my email. (The private investigator leaves my office).


    Not quite long, I took notice of the same person I asked to have a background check, walk into my office.


    ¡°Please, your presence is needed at the conference room¡± she veered back to leave but halts the minute I asked her a question.


    ¡°Do you have a problem with me?¡±. I asked being rested assured that her ill attitude towards me wasn¡¯t friendly at all.


    She turned and reply, ¡± why do you ask me sure foolish question Salem! I don¡¯t have a problem with you but I might, when you begin to poke your nose, where it isn¡¯t needed.¡± ( Unfrozen and left the office).


    Afterward, I came back from the meeting, Riya veered in and hugged me, stering a shocked look on my face.


    ¡°What the hell?¡± I veered and met her daydreaming, is Riya feeling okay, or maybe the aftereffect of her wedding being called off is taking a toll on her sanity.

 Chapter 45 Nanny help

    Have you gone mad?¡± I snapped her daydreaming, earning her attention. Tody Riya was acting very strange or maybe she¡¯s possessed by an evil spirit because it¡¯s unlike her to do such a thing.


    ¡°Oops sorry, Salem? I was only trying to thank you for your help the other day?¡± She smiles warmly at me.


    ¡°Your wee Riya and now you can go home!¡±.


    I tried ushering her to the door but as stubborn as a mule, she pulled back and asked me a question. ¡°Do you want to go for a long drive with me? Please don¡¯t say no Salem! It will mean a lot to me.¡±.


    Gloomy was the look she had on, her eyes felt like she was about crying and I disliked such, ¡°fine, I¡¯lle with you!¡± I epted her proposal after being emotionally ckmailed into epting it.


    I dragged my coat as we both walked out of the building, Elena took notice of us from her office and shoots a smile on her face.


    Quietly we drove to an unknown destination because I had no idea where Riya was talking to me too, after a long while the car stopped and the moment I turned to see where we were, I got hooked by its beauty.


    ¡°Wee to my secret spot! Ie here anytime I wanna escape from my problems¡±.


    Riya shoots a smile as we both walked through with our legs on the grassed floor.


    Riya pulled a nket over and asked me to seat, the beautiful scene calmed me down, I felt an unusual peace inside of me, when I caught Riya stealing nces at me.


    ¡°Riya, are you feeling okay, you are acting strange!¡± I asked, she shook her head responding to me.


    We spent the whole day together, talking to each other, for the first time Riya and I could talk without arguing.


    The stars came out alongside the moon, their light illuminated on us, and it was how I got to see Riya In a different light.


    ¡°Beautiful¡±. I b without thinking, as she moved closer to me, our lips kept touching each other, Riyas eyes was in sync with the stars, she had the most beautiful eyes, surprised pulled more closely and kissed me passionately.


    It¡¯s crazy because I swore never to get entangled with a woman and now not just any randomly selecteddy, but my mom¡¯s very own fake daughter.


    I couldn¡¯t bring myself to stop! But when the image of seeing her die right In front of me, triggered me back to my senses. I pulled her away and tantly warned her not to attempt such madness again, base on that, we returned home in a tense mood.

    Everything seems to be going my way, little by little, bit by bit, Elena¡¯s trust kept growing, she will always ask for my option before doing anything, if only she knew who she gave her trust too.


    ¡°Good morning Sm¡±


    I veered back to see Elena in my room, I wonder if she needed another piece of advice from me.


    ¡°Good morning Aunt!¡± I said with a warm smile.


    I took notice of something strange in her behavior, she fills up the space between us and asked me a question, and I quote, ¡°if I tell you to do something for me, will you?¡± She says idling for my response.


    I had no idea what duties she wants from me, but I gave in to her demands eventually, ¡°yes ma¡¯am, how may I be of help?¡± I


    asked.


    Elena brought out a sealed envelope, Inside was a check of one million dors, ¡°I don¡¯t understand ma¡¯am¡± I hoisted up my head looking confused.


    In return for my look, she pulls out an address to me and said, ¡°go over to this address, ask for doctor Dave and give him this money, okay!¡±.


    I shook my head giving ears to hermand but that doesn¡¯t stop me from finding out the truth of what she¡¯s hiding.


    (Hours have gone by, I finally got to the ce, and my surprise, it was a psychiatric hospital, what secret does Elena have with this ce?¡± I asked myself as I walked further in.


    I veered close to doctor Dave¡¯s office when I pumped into ady with her hair all scattered and clothed in white.


    She looked at me, wearing a smile on, out of curtsy I smiled as well, as I left to the office.


    ¡°Hello doctor, I was sent by Elena to give you this?¡±.


    I passed the sealed envelope to him, his smiles after seeing the check Elena gave to him, the excitement he had, sparked uncontroble concern as to what he does to warrant Elena¡¯s generosity.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Your boss is such a kind-hearted person, she gives me money just to keep a particr someone locked up and crazy forever.¡±.


    Out of satisfaction, the doctor let out to me, thankfully he was the one who started the conversation, and now I need to find out what secret lies between them.


    ¡°Yeah my boss is so good, God bless her soul for helping poor people like us¡±. I answered back, idling to hear more but unfortunately, his attention was needed elsewhere.


    He rushed out holding a syringe in his hand, as I also walk behind to see what was going on, I watched through the ss mirror and saw ady begin to hold against her will, and was injected with a syringe which Instantly drops her to sleep.


    Doctor Dave came out of the room and saw me watching thedy from the window.


    ¡°Don¡¯t feel sad sir, okay, Sara has been here for over a year now, she¡¯s crazy and overly dangerous¡± he made known to me, returning my eyes the second I heard the name he called.


    ¡°Did you just say, Sara?¡± I asked as he shook his head affirming my words.


    ¡°Okay erm, what¡¯s her surname and who brought her here?¡±.


    Somehow I feltpelled to ask, hopefully, he gives me the name I am drying to hear, the doctor says, and I quote, ¡± thedy in there! Her name is Sara Scott she¡¯s thedy, Elena Khan is paying me to keep under lock and key!.


    (Thunderstorm goes off, the moment he conceded to me, thedy in there was my nanny, I know something was strange but I didn¡¯t know, it was going to be this!¡±.


    ¡°Excuse me¡±


    I walked out of the hospital in a rush and drove back home wanting to kill a particr someone.

 Chapter 47 Wicked witch

    The moment I got home, I rushed in and saw the person, I wanted to speak with so badly.


    ¡°How can you be so wicked? Mom¡±.


    Elena veered back in shock the moment she heard my voice.


    ¡°What did you just call me?¡± She asked as the rest of the family looked at us.


    ¡°I called you mom, have you forgotten? That very day, the same spot you killed everyone, my father, my uncle, and my nanny, the only woman that gave me love¡±.


    Taking heed of the truth, Elena gasped out in disbelief, she couldn¡¯t believe her son would be alive, after being tossed off the cliff.


    ¡°Impossible, I looked and searched for your body, no you cannot be my son!¡±.


    In her moment of shock, I pulled out a gun in my hand, and pointed it to her, ¡°what! Don¡¯t I look like my father, and guess what! You are the most shitty mom ever and I pray you to rot in hell!¡±.


    (The gun goes off, which immediately pulled out of my fantasy world.


    This was only a daydreaming, minus the face I¡¯ll love to put a bullet in her head, this was not the right time.


    ¡°Salem, are you okay, and did you do what I asked?¡±. Elena walked close and wore the most innocent look on her face.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am,¡± I said trying so hard not to get her suspicious about me


    She wore a smile of gratitude to me as I walked over to my room, I had so many questions running through my mind, it¡¯s shocking to know that my nanny is still alive, all this year, mostly how much she had to pass through, just because of psychotic mother of mine, Elena Khan.


    Now to add the cherry on top, I have got to bring her out of the mental asylum, but how do I do such without rming the hospital¡¯s security and my mom.


    My thoughts wandered off trying to figure out my options, and not quite long, a gunshot was fired at the living room, which got my attention.


    I ran out just to say David, the guy was reported missing, holding a gun in his hand, I always knew that boy had no atom of sense in those big head oh his, I viewed further and saw he aimed the gun at Elena who looked without blinking.


    ¡°This will be fun!¡± I smiled seeing how easier my job would be, seeing the result of Davids¡¯s foolishness can end Elena¡¯s life right here and now.


    I rested my back at the wall, and quietly enjoyed the drama going on, as usual, Elena rants and kept on instigating David to pull the trigger, you can say Elena was prepared to die today,T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Do it, you fool!¡± She yelled out, eyes firmly fixed at him, ¡°I said do it, David¡± she asserted for the second time.


    Urgh, I got tired of listening to such madness, since it wasn¡¯t my concern, I turned back to leave when a gunshot was fired. Elena screamed out, immediately attaining my eyes.


    ¡°Riya, please wake up baby¡±


    She cries out attempting to wake up a wounded Riya, within the next five minutes, I had no idea what came over me, I rushed downstairs and attacked David, everyone watched as I beat him to a pulp, I had this aggravated rage in me, after seeing Riya In such a manner.


    After a while, the police walked in and carried him (David) away and straight to jail, I opened a case against him for attempted murder, still pissed off.

    Elena quietly watched and noted how concerned I was about Riya, she wears a weak smile, when the ambnce came home and carried Riya to the hospital, yet she kept a watch on me.


    (Saint Paul¡¯s ? hospital)


    It¡¯s been an hour, however, the doctor hasn¡¯te out of the emergency room, actually, thest time I prayed was the day I asked God to help me and get my mom exposed, now I pray that nothing happens to Riya, I might not say this much, but I have learned to care about her, don¡¯t ask! Because I do not know if it¡¯s love or out of obligation.


    (The door opens up attaining our attention)


    ¡°Doctor! Is Riya okay¡±


    I swopped in before Elena could ask, the doctor shook his head and a cloud of relief hovered around us the moment we took heed of his words.


    Elena walks closer and ced her hand on my shoulders, veering my attention to her.


    ¡°Yes! Ma¡¯am, is there any problem?¡± I asked, she shoots a smile and signaled I follow her outside to talk.


    I walked behind and taught myself, what does she want to talk about?, Finally we strolled outside the hospital, swiveling her eyes to me. ¡°Tell me something, Salem, do you like my daughter?¡±


    I ran a check on her, ande to think of it, what warranted such a weird question from her.


    ¡°I am sorry ma¡¯am, but I only take Riya, as I friend, nothing more and nothing less¡±.


    The assurance in my tone, gave her the rification she wanted, finally deciding to let go of the conversation, but I know she ain¡¯t going to drop it so easily.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    We returned to the hospital and it got to our notice that Riya had regained consciousness, a weak smile draped over my face, thankfully she¡¯s out of danger.

    ¡°Baby are you okay?¡±.


    Elena walks in wearing a smile on her face, alongside all the family members, Riya looms her eyes around in search of someone before retorting to her aunt.


    ¡°Yes, mom, I am okay! But is it only you guys that came to the hospital? What about Salem? Didn¡¯t hee as well?¡± She asked Elena, who walks out of the room to call me but noticed that I had already left, returning to her ward.


    I got an important call that needed my attention, I stopped a cab and it took me home, as I strolled over to my room.


    I took out myptop and as instructed through the phone, the private detective I paid, sent me an email, concerning the information I asked for about methane drew.


    (The email details)


    Here¡¯s the information you requested for.


    Methane drew- known previously as Sophia Kenyon, Age; 27 year old, daughter to ( Wim and Lisa Kenyon) they are both deceased due to a fatal ident years ago, abruptly the ident was caused by Elena Khan.


    Because of that, methane had to stay with her grandma, who also died three months ago, now she lives alone in her grandma¡¯s home, but before I forget, she hates Elena Khan and nes to take revenge for the untimely death of her parents.


    (End of details).


    I closed myptop after reading the information sent to me, now I know why I wasn¡¯t able to truth her, no matter how much I tried to.


    I turned to leave but halts seeing the same person, I just got a hold of her real identity to me.


    ¡°Hello methane, how may I be of help to you?¡±. I asked she walks in without taking permission from me.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk? I want us to talk!¡±.


    (The screen freezes on us)

 Chapter 49 Two heads

    I don¡¯t think, it¡¯s a coincidence seeing her home, now that her real identity has been revealed to me! But I needed to know the real reason she craved to talk with me.


    ¡°Talk about what? What is it?¡± I asked once more, noting the weak smile she had on.


    ¡°About amon enemy, we both share! She muttered back to me donning a devilish smile on her face.


    It seems like she¡¯s trying to make me understand something or rather she¡¯s just trying to spark curiosity, in which way, I still have to pay the clueless game with her.


    ¡°Methane drew! I don¡¯t understand what you mean by amon enemy! I don¡¯t have an enemy and I don¡¯t wish to have¡±.


    She shoots me a serious look, moves towards my direction, and bs out to me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare pay the am so dumb game with me! I know that your name is Andres Khan, son to Liam and Elena Khan¡±?


    (She walks past proceeding further with her words)


    ¡°Your mom forged her death and came into your lives, gradually destroying it, also your beautiful Nanny, Sara Scott, she gave you the love that your craved for that why, till now, you haven¡¯t been able to forget her, I do have more information about you, so, don¡¯t you think of acting innocent with me!¡±.


    It¡¯s impressive to see how much information methane has gathered about me In such a little amount of time, indeed evil minds do think alike, but she fails In getting the information right! Because my nanny is still alive.


    ¡°Look methane! Oops sorry, Sophia Kenyon, daughter to Wim and Lisa Kenyon, you lost your parents when you were a child, and the reason you hate Elena, it¡¯s because she leads to the untimely death of your parents, am I lying?¡±.


    She wore an impressive look on her face, it gleamed conforming to my words.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡± impressive Andres, so now we now havee to an understanding, can we finally get back at Elena khan?¡±.


    (She pauses for my response)


    ¡°How should we get back at her?¡± I implored disdainfully, as she immediately replied.


    ¡°Elena khan will be celebrating her birthday today, so I suggest that we join forces and make sure, her birthday is memorable¡±.


    The devilish smirk she had, got me to understand that she had something nned, but what exactly does she have up her sleeves.


    ¡± tell me! What are you indicating that we do?¡±. I tossed a question.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    ording to the n, it was time for a showdown at elenas birthday party, I walked into the party floor and saw Riya there, she veers and blossoms an angry look at me.


    ¡°Mr. Salem¡±


    I turned my attention back the instant I heard Elena¡¯s voice behind.


    ¡°Happy Birthday Ma¡¯am!¡±. I said with an innocent smile.


    ¡°How are you doing my son?¡± She asked being concerned about me.


    ¡°I am fine ma¡¯am but today isn¡¯t about me, it¡¯s all for you, we all came to celebrate the beautiful Elena Khan¡±.


    Mypliment spotted a smile on her face, she thanked me and went on to wee other guests, trust me this would be fun.


    (The party veered on peacefully)


    While keeping an eye on Elena, someone else was also keeping a close watch on me, it seems anywhere I go, she follows me.


    ¡°Hello, Salem! May I have this dance?¡¯.


    Riya turned my attention to her, issuing for a response, seems like no matter how hard I try to ignore her, she always finds a way ofing close to me.

 Chapter 50 Torry larn

    I know that refusing Riya would be turning the happy smile she had on, into a sad one.


    ¡°Fine, let¡¯s go!¡±.


    We walked to the dance floor, as I pulled her close to me, she runs her hands on mine and ces my other hand on her waist, for a girl who ims to be innocent, she knew what she was doing.


    We danced alongside other guests there, Elena turned her eyes and saw us dancing, surprised she wears a smile after seeing us.


    While we danced, methane signaled me from the audience, I attempted to pull my hands away rather Riya withheld them.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡± Riya, I have something urgent to do right now, please let go of me¡±.


    I asked but still, she kept on holding onto me, when shortly there was a power cut, the whole mansion was covered in total darkness, I wandered my eyes away and noticed that there was only a power cut here alone, something isn¡¯t just right.


    (A gunshot was fired)


    I ran a scared look on my face, the second we all heard the shot, guests had to run for their lives, I rushed down to leave, but froze up the inferring I had an idea where Riya was in the midst of the chaos, apparently not quite long, the light was turned on, as we all scoured a stunned look on our faces decerning Elena lifeless on the floor.


    ¡°Mom!¡±


    Riya runs to her aid before I could do anything, although I know that I should be pleased seeing her in such a state, in a way I wasn¡¯t.


    I loomed my eyes around and saw methane strolling into my room, she has got to exin herself to me, without hesitation I ran up outraged by her.


    ¡°You have twenty seconds to start exining yourself or you will be sorry¡±.


    Methane veered the moment I walked into the room, she donned a weak smile on her face and pulled out an urn from her back pocket, she says, ¡± aww, don¡¯t give me that look, I know I went a little out of the initial n but figured we should get rid of Elena once and for all, your happy and I am happy¡±.


    It¡¯s crazy to join hands with someone who doesn¡¯t know who Elena khan is, and if she survives this, I am so damn sure that Elena won¡¯t rest until she sniffs out the culprit, behind it.


    ¡°Seriously, we both will be happy? Do you even know who are up against?¡±. I buffed out a deep breath before resuming my words. ¡± my mom isn¡¯t just going to let this slide so easy, she won¡¯t rest until she unearths the person behind it, are you that stupid enough not to think about what you are going to do, before doing it?.


    Methane turned a blind eye to my warning, ¡°look, Andres, I am so sure that the almighty Elena khan won¡¯t survive this, the person I contracted to kill her, made sure of that!. (She kept donning a smile on that face of hers, I know it will be impossible to reason with her right now, hopefully, when my warninges to reality it won¡¯t be toote. (Angerly walked out of the room)


    I rushed back to the living room and saw the ambnce outside, they pushed Elena and drove away in a hurry, Riya turned back and saw me standing like a wand, she runs into my arms and hugged me.


    ¡± Please, don¡¯t let anything happen to my mom, she¡¯s my parent¡± she lets go of me asking a question, ¡°nothing will happen to her right?¡±.

 Chapter 51 Ring dom

    Immediately I ran out of words, what can I say, Riya loves the same woman who took her happiness away and that of her son, decerning the sad look on her face, I had no choice but to tell her the words she needed to hear from me.


    ¡°She will be fine, your mom is a strong woman and I am certain nothing will happen to her¡±.


    Asforting as that might sound like, I just hope the foolish mistake of methane doesn¡¯t get me exposed as well.


    (At the hospital)


    After a while, Riya and I scrambled into the hospital, the whole family members were there, waiting for the doctor¡¯s report, hours passed yet the doctor was still in, and an anxious Riya was this close to barging inside the emergence room, luckily the doctor decides toe and meet us.


    ¡± Doctor, how¡¯s my mom?¡±Riya walked closer, anxiously awaiting his reply.


    The doctor soars his eyes around before proceeding with his statement and quote, ¡°your mom is fine, luckily she was brought to the hospital on time, if not we wouldn¡¯t have been able to save her¡±.


    A cloud of relived hovered around Riya, she buffed out a deep whiff, shooting a smile of gratitude to him.


    I had no idea how methane found out that her nsnguished, as she rushed in like a paranoid chicken and for rification and when Riya repeated the doctor¡¯s statement to her, she veers back in shock.


    ¡± methane, are you okay?¡± Riya asked as we all looked at her.


    ¡°Yes, I am fine just happy that ma¡¯am is alive, it¡¯s wonderful news¡±. She (methane) smiles and I know a fake smile when I see one.


    Riya decided to stay back at the hospitals with Elena, while the rest of the family left one after the other.


    I turned my back and saw methane staring at the statue of the virgin mary, I walked closer and saw that she was busy praying, and after she finished with her prayers, she turned and took notice of my presence their donning a startled look on her face.


    ¡± jeez! Calm down sweetheart, did you think I was Elena?¡± I teased her with a smirk on my lips.


    ¡°No! I knew it was you and besides, one failed attempt can¡¯t stop me from trying it over again¡±.


    I giggled the moment she made that known to me, it either she thinks this is a child¡¯s hide and seeks game or she¡¯s only trying to get the idea off her mind that Elena is alive will she still being alive will only mean that, there a storm brewing in and set its location to her.


    ¡± sweetheart, I will advise you to go far away from here because if Elena gets a hold of you, you will beg for death and it won¡¯te so easily¡±.


    I turned in the opposite direction to leave when she snatches me back from leaving.


    ¡°Look, I know that I let my emotions get the better of me, but please what can we do, huh! I can not hide away because of Elena!¡±.


    I noticed the tense look she donned on, but there was one important piece of information I know about my mom, is that no one likes her, she has hurt numerous people, to a certain extent that few of them wants her dead, who the right person would dly fit in and take the fall for methane silly mistake? I just have to find the right person.


    ¡± Okay! Help you! Give me some time, you will see what happens next!¡±


    (I gave her my word and walked away ).T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.

    THE NEXT DAY ¨C I stayed back at the hospital, Riya slept like a babyying on myp, and talk about me not having any sleep at all.


    ¡°Pssst¡±


    I veered back and saw methane calling out to me, she signaled, ¡°meet me outside the hospital¡±, and left afterwards, a few seconds head count, I gentlyid Riya¡¯s head down and walked out to meet her.


    ¡°Hey! What is it?¡±.


    She swivels wearing a terrified look on her face, ¡± Andres! You asked me to trust you but it¡¯s been hours now, yet nothing as happened, can you tell me what¡¯s going on?¡±.


    ¡°Look! I did tell you to trust me and you should, we need not do anything stupid, so please calm yourself down and let me do my job!¡±


    (I walked back into the hospital)


    Methane walked in after a few seconds contemting to herself when Riya screamed out loud attaining our attention.


    ¡°Riya what is going on!¡±


    A dash into elenas ward and saw a masked man holding a gun to Elena¡¯s head, Riya veers her eyes donning a sad look at me, meanwhile, the person whom the gun was still pointed at was suspiciously calm.


    Apparently when Elena took notice that his attention was been turned away from hers, she used this as an opportunity to counter-attack, she knocked off the gun from his hand and smashed a stainless steel at his head. Elena might have advanced in age but she was fit as hell.


    I turned back to see the look on methane¡¯s face after seeing the whole drama unravel before her eyes, now she will understand the kind of woman we are up against.


    (10:00am)


    After series of test, we returned back home, everyone at home came out to wee the queen of the Nile, Elena khan as Riya assisted her to her room.


    Not quite long, methane rushed in to meet me trying to catch her breath.


    ¡°Girl! You do know that there¡¯s something called knocking right!¡±. I donned a serious look at her.


    ¡± yeah! Sorry about that but can you tell me what exactly happened back at the hospital! Did you have a hand in it? Was it the n you were telling me about? Tell me?¡±.


    She had tons of questions and the more I kept quiet the more she hurled questions to me.


    ¡°Yes, I did have something to do with this, ¡± I acknowledged the fact that whatever that happened at the hospital was my doings luckily this would give Elena the rity that many people want her dead.


    ¡°Wow! Impressive Salem, indeed you are your mother¡¯s son!¡± She praises me donning a devilish smile on.


    I might be the son to the most selfish, conniving, backstabbing and devilish woman but I will never be like my mom, even the angels in heaven affirms that.


    ¡°Now you understand the kind of woman we are up against, she is that kind ofdy you think strategically before acting and never be moved by her emotions!¡±.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    The tone of voice spurred out a serious question, ¡± so! What can we do now? How do we get to her?¡±. (Methane asked fiddling for my response)


    There is an adage that goes like this, and I quote, ¡°the fastest way to a man¡¯s heart is through his stomach but permit me to rephrase this statement and say, ¡± the fastest way to kill my mom is through her sanity, drag her down to a point when she¡¯s at her lowest, you can as well strick the final blow!¡± (Evil smile)

 Chapter 53 Job so soon

    inaudible conversation)


    And it hasn¡¯t been an hour since methane left my room, Riya sneaks in without my knowledge, donning a vicious smile on.


    ¡°Hello! Handsome¡± she finally makes her presence known, gaining my attention to her.


    ¡°Hello, Riya! What are you doing here?¡± I asked fiddling for her response.


    So she says, ¡°what do you mean why am I here? Can¡¯t Ie to talk with you anymore? Ain¡¯t we friends?¡±. She frowns at me.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I had no idea that our rtionship can be tagged as being friends, I have always thought that I was the guy, who normallyes to her rescue! Nothing more, nothing less.


    ¡°Wow, Riya! You surprise me with your words¡±.


    (A bbergasted re draped over my face)


    Riya gigged seeing the look I had on, she takes three steps closer to where I stood, our eyes locked for a while before she proceeds with her statement.


    ¡°We can be more if you want to! Do you?¡±.


    I noticed the more gilt in her eyes while she airs out her thoughts to me, does it mean she wants us to be more than friends? I asked myself but before I could alter up, she affirms her words to me, ¡°yes! I do want us to be more than friends! And do you wanna know something else?¡± She gives herself a time out before recessing her words again to me, ¡°I love you Salem Baltimore! I am in love with you and I do know that it mighte as a shock to you but please don¡¯t say no to me¡±.


    My eyes widened up hearing her statement, it must be a silly joke I said to myself thus when I saw she didn¡¯t don a smile, a figured it wasn¡¯t a joke at all, but the question in mind was, how did we end up being in such a Delima?.


    Riya was indeed a beautiful, tall, dark-skinneddy, who illuminates the whole room with her presence and any man would be lucky to have a woman like her but that man isn¡¯t me. (Frowns).


    Her presence in my life will not only prove to be dangerous but also might end her life in a dash, and I cannot let anything happen to her, yes! I do care about Riya a lot but I don¡¯t think if I could call this love! Or can I?, But in all, I have to send any dangerous feelings of love for me away, to keep her safe, from myself, my past, and my mom, so I responded with a cold and distant tone, ¡°look Riya! I am thankful that you dared to tell me how you truly feel about me, but I am sorry, I do not feel the same way, and with time you will understand why I said such words to you¡±.


    (The atmosphere remade, Riya veers back in a weak form,¡± Riya are you okay¡± I pulled out my hands to aid her but she nudged it away heaving a warning, ¡°don¡¯t you ever touch! Or else you will be sorry¡±.


    (Her eyes teared up as she dashes out of the room, donning a sad look on).


    It wounded me to see her in such a manner, thus that was the best way to keep Riya safe, hopefully, the pains she feels will wash away, and finally gets to understand the reason behind my hurtful words to her.


    The same day, Elena called me over to her room, she veers the second I took a step in, holding a piece of paper in her hand.


    ¡°What¡¯s about to happen?¡±. I asked in trinket.

 Chapter 54 Too zoon

    Hello Salem! I need you to apany me to a ce¡±. She says fiddling for my response.


    The look she had on gave me the rity that wherever we were going to isn¡¯t going to be a jolly LLB ride.


    ¡°Yes Ma¡¯am, but where are we going too?¡± I asked her.


    ¡°You¡¯ll see,e on¡± she walked passed donning a weak smile on.


    We got into the car, David, Elena¡¯s driver, immediately drove off the second we got in.


    I turned my eye and saw how calm Elena was, she veers her eyes elsewhere as we drove past the streets of Elmore city.


    (? hourster)


    I still couldn¡¯t ce my fingers as to where we were heading too! But my pending question got answered the second David drove into the exact ce everything ended that very day.


    ¡°Get out!¡± Elena repaid her eyes to me, out of curiosity and a slit fear of the unknown I got out of the car.


    Does she know I am her son? What will happen now?.


    The terrible memories of that very day, shed back before my eyes when I heard Elena¡¯s paranoid voice.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°You had the audacity to gun for my life, how dare you!¡±.


    Immediately I veered back and saw the same man who attacked Elena back at the hospital, he was beaten to a pulp by Elena¡¯s goons.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, I thought he was sent to jail, what is he doing here?¡±. I asked decerning him tied up like a criminal.


    her attention falls to me the second she took heed of my question, ¡°sal! there¡¯s something you should know about me! I don¡¯t need the authorities to help to do my job! After all, he attacked me and now he has five seconds to start talking about who sent him or else, he kisses this world a goodbye¡±.


    (She whirls her eyes back to him, fiddling to hear him speak).


    The man soars his eyes around trying to gather his words, Elena¡¯s Patience was running thin and I know when that happens anything is possible.


    ¡°Speak up, who sent you?¡±. She asked the second time as we looked at him and if he doesn¡¯t say a word his likey to kiss this world goodbye.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    After several attempts to find the truth, all attempts fail and it got Elena pissed off, I wonder if she knew how many of us would love to see her dead, for one will be joyed to have her pay for the crimesmitted by her.


    Methane walks out and noticed the angry look on her face as she walked past without altering a single word to her.


    ¡°What¡¯s her problem?¡± She asked me, I pinned a weak smile and told her everything that went down hours ago.


    Methane giggled out and was pleased seeing Elena in such a pissed-off mood and trust me this is just the beginning of her misery.


    The whole day passed and my mom locked herself in her room, she refused to eat nor taste anything given to her, not even being served by Riya, urgh! Drama queen.


    Well, I decided to pay her a visit in her room, just to be sure that she hasn¡¯t done something foolish due to her aggravated mood.


    ¡°Hello, ma¡¯am, good evening¡±.


    She attained her attention to me, still maintaining her angry mood.


    ¡°What? What are you doing here? I am not in the mood of talking to you, get out¡±. She says to me.


    And I also wasn¡¯t in the mood to y the affectionate son to her, but what can I do! It¡¯s all for a reason.

 Chapter 55 The good son

    ¡°Nothing! I noticed that you haven¡¯t eaten anything yet! Why?¡±. I asked fiddling for her response.


    The furious look disappeared the moment I asked her, ¡°nothing, don¡¯t worry so much!¡±. She turns her back at me.


    ¡°Okay, but tell me why don¡¯t you feel like eating? are you okay?¡± Once more I asked.


    ¡± Look Salem, I am fine, you don¡¯t need to get worried about me, I¡¯ll be okay, just leave me alone so I can think!¡±. She backed me altering that out.


    Apparently, after a while, I listened and left per her instruction. I veered and saw Riya standing behind, she falls her eyes elsewhere thus watched me leave, I know she was still mad at the incident that happened the other day.


    THE FOLLOWING MORNING


    (8:00pm)


    I got up from bed and head down for breakfast, the chairs at the dining table were seated on and the one left was next to Riya who kept a straight face at me.


    ¡°Good morning Sm? Hope you slept well¡±. Elena finally noticed my presence there.


    I sat down and turned my eyes to her, donning a smile on, ¡°yes ma¡¯am, I did, thank you¡±.


    Riya instantly got up from where she was seated and walked upstairs to her room, Elena noticed strange behavior and shoots a suspicious look at me as I tried so hard not to get choked up by her intense gaze, afterwards, we left for the office.


    The whole day passed by, yet I had this hutch that something or someone was in danger but who?, I asked myself.


    Elena asked me to go back home and get a few documents for her, I drove back home, walked through the front door, and saw the living room was quiet as a graveyard.


    ¡°Where¡¯s everyone?¡± I asked towering my eyes around.


    I walked into Elena¡¯s room and ambled out after getting the documents she asked me to, I was two-step closer to the front door when I noticed a strange aura around me, the hutch I feel kept getting stronger, something Is indeed not right.


    Hence the second I took a step outside, I heard a ss scatter on the floor, which got my attention.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡±. I returned into the house, looming my eyes around.


    No one seems to alter a word to me, thus when I attempted to leave once again, Riya yelled out my name.


    ¡°Salem, help me¡±.


    Quickly I rushed over to her room and saw she was tied up to her bed.


    ¡°Riya, what¡¯s going on?¡¯ i asked ambling closer to her, ¡°hmmm¡± she tires to gain my attention that someone else was in the room, but when I got to understand the terrified look on her face, a vase was smashed on my head, as I fell unconscious.


    I had no idea what happened but when I got myself, I glimpsed that I was bundled to a ce I had no idea off, Riya sobs softly with her gaze fixed downwards.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Riya! Are you okay?¡±.


    That was a foolish question to ask but it was the only thing my head could think of.


    She lifts her gaze and trembled her head in displeasure, ¡°no, I am not okay, who are they and why were did they kidnap us?. Riya asked me a question, I feel Elena has the answers to.


    Not quite long, an elderly man walks in and met us at our tied-up positions.


    He wears a devilish smile and veers closer to us, ¡°who are you?¡± I asked in curiosity.


    The man turns to me and said, ¡°you need not worry about who I am but worry about your lives when Elena Khan refuses to give in to my demands¡±.

 Chapter 56 Trouble

    What demands? I asked myself, what kind of a shady deal is Elena Khan involved in, I believe there¡¯s more to her life from what I found out.


    ¡°Look, sir! My apologies but we don¡¯t know what problems you have with Elena but please don¡¯t do anything that you might regret, you might take me hostage but please send Riya home¡±.


    My concern was to make sure that Riya doesn¡¯t get caught in the middle of a rolling stone and to add it all up, Riya turns her attention and said, ¡°please don¡¯t try to pretend that you care about me! I can take care of myself, I don¡¯t need your help¡±. (Mtcheeew) she hisses fixing her eyes on me.


    It¡¯s crazy but, did she forget that I am here all tied up like a criminal because of her, if she hasn¡¯t called out to me, I would not have been here in this messed-up position.


    ¡°Oh wow, miss, I don¡¯t need your help anymore, may I remind you that, you called out to me for my assistance, I didn¡¯t just presume that you were in danger and came running out to you¡±. In an aggravated tone, I answered back.


    For the second time, she hissed and turns her attention away from me, urgh! Annoying¡± I smacked my tongue soaring my eyes away from her.


    The man who kidnapped us, ran a strange look at us, and he said, ¡°oh my goodness, you both fight like Cats and dogs, are you sure nothing is going on between you both?¡±.


    ¡°No¡± we both answered back in a sprinkle, throwing a furious look at each other.


    Not quite long, Elena¡¯s call came through, the man veers his back at us and talked on the phone with her, I had no idea what they both talked about but I will not remain being tied up to a chair.


    While his attention was fixed elsewhere, I stretched out my leg and got a hold of a piece of broken ss on the floor.


    somehow I managed to free myself without gaining his eyes on me, the man leaves after he shoots a skeptical look at us.


    Hence when he left, I got up from the chair, tossed the rope I was being tied with, and escaped, after dragging a stubborn Riya out as well.


    We sneaked past his goons and run further, after noticing we weren¡¯t being followed, we stopped, I am certain that before they get to find out we had escaped, we would have gone further away.


    (2hours)


    ¡°Salem, where are we going to? I am tired¡±. Riya grumbled donning a frown.


    I know it¡¯s been more than an hour, yet not a single car has passed, it seems like they bundled us to a remote area, where cars are not used, instead of cattle¡¯s where.


    ¡°Hello young man, anddy, where are you guys going?¡±.


    Finally, a car decides to stop for us, as I turned over for his help, ¡°hello sir, our car broke down and I¡¯ll love it, if you would give us a ride to the nearest fuel station¡± I weaved out a lie to him, apparently if I had told him the truth, the man would have zoomed off the second he reckoned his life might be in danger as well.


    ¡°Sure, why not!¡± He happily volunteered to help and he drove off to the nearest fuel station.


    ¡°Thank you so much, sir¡±


    It was a half-hour drive and he stopped at the fuel station, the man shoots a weak smile at us and drove away leaving us behind, now the question is?. how do I get a hold of Elena, noticing that, I had no idea where my phone is.


    Question of the day!


    A) Elena seems to gain more enemies as the day goes by, will Andres get the chance to take revenge on his mom before one of her enemies get to her first?.


    B) Riya is a little bit pissed of with Andres, and now that they are both alone, will she be able to see the real Salem Baltimore s Andres Khan?.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    C) Andres seems to be more concerned with Riya¡¯s safety than his! To him, he tagged his feelings for Riya to be mare concern but is he finally going to realize that, he is also in love with Riya?.

    (THANKS SO MUCH, GOD BLESS)

 Chapter 57 She鈥檚 not my intention

    ¡°Riya, please do you have your mom¡¯s number?¡±.


    Decerning I had no idea where I ced my phone, I turned to Riya, for help, the youngdy in question here, shook her head after giving me a deadly re in her eyes.


    ¡°Wow, you¡¯re just too much Riya¡± I frowned upon turning my gaze away, we have got to find a safe ce to be for today, since the day has already gone.


    My eyes wandered away, spotting a little cottage a few blocks from where we stood, it was the only solution Riya and I had, so with that, I walked past veering her eyes to me.


    She walks behind still holding a grumpy face, as I knocked at the front door of the cottage we had no idea whom it belongs to.


    ¡± who is it?¡± An elderly woman pulled the door opened and saw two strangers at her front porch, so I said, ¡°Hello ma¡¯am, good evening, I don¡¯t know how to say this, but our car broke down and checked everywhere for help, but all to no avail, so my wife and I was hopeful that you can help us stay in for tonight, then tomorrow morning, we will be on our way!¡±. (Smiles).This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    The olddy sprouts a cautious look at us, especially Riya who was about to give it away that, we weren¡¯t married to each other, ¡± urgh¡±.


    After a long scan, she lets us in and ushered us to her visitor¡¯s room, Riya soared her eyes round before repaying it, receding her words to me.


    ¡°Can you kindly exin, what the heck you said, a while ago? Who is married to whom? Huh!¡±. A funny look draped over her face, smurding a weak smile on mine, ¡°aww! Don¡¯t worry sweetheart, it was only a way to obtain a roof over our heads, so don¡¯t worry that little brain of yours!¡±.


    I veered back to leave but halted when I noticed she held me back, repaying my attention to her, ¡± little brain of mine? See who¡¯s talking, the same person who keeps pretending, he doesn¡¯t feel anything nor get influenced by anyone, why don¡¯t you tell me! Mr. Salem Baltimore who are you?¡±.


    I gently pulled my hands from her, as she fiddles for my response, ¡°your highness, I am waiting?¡± She said to me.


    ¡°Waiting for what? I don¡¯t think I have any exnation for you and if you¡¯re still mad because of my words the other time, please be my guest and keep acting like a child¡±.


    Riya drags her feet back, startled by my words, she jerks her head at me and left afterward in a hurtful manner.


    ¡± I am sorry Riya, it hurts me more than it does to you but it¡¯s the best way to keep you far from me and endangering your life¡±.


    (I contemted to myself, and saw as she tucks her to bed).


    THE FOLLOWING DAY


    I couldn¡¯t get myself to sleep and not quite long, Riya gets up from bed and veers to me.


    ¡°Good morning¡± she greets and walked into the bathroom, I glued my eyes and wondered, what¡¯s going on with her, did my words hurt her to a point that, her greetings to me, was as cold as ice, the same way I behaved towards her.


    a few hourster, we both walked down and thanked the olddy for her aid to us, thus ambled away to find our way home, inferring it was a new day, locating a vehicle home won¡¯t be difficult.


    (3 hours drive)

 Chapter 58 Best regards

    After a long drive, we finally got home, the cab stopped at the entrance of Kahn¡¯s mansion, from the far distance we obtained Elena¡¯s aggressive words, as we got out of the car and swung close to the front door.


    Riya strolled in, obtaining the whole family¡¯s attention to her, as I followed behind.


    Elena turns her back and draped a startled look on her face, she runs over and hugged Riya, repaying her eyes to me.


    ¡°How are you Salem? How did you escape, I was so worried about you? Hope you okay?¡±. She tossed questions to me, I shook my head knitting a weak smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, why don¡¯t you go to your room and freshen up¡±.


    I walked over after heeding to her words, Riya turns her gaze away as I walked up in a cautious attitude.


    After a while, Elena came to pay me a visit in my room, she walks in without knocking, attaining my attention.


    ¡°Yeah, aunt, did you need anything?¡± I asked as I watched her amble further to me.


    ¡°No! I just want to say thank you for taking good care of my daughter, she¡¯s the only one I have since, the untimely demise of my husband and son¡±.


    She says donning a sad look, the same family whom she eradicated with her hands! If it was someone else, they would have believed her but not me, and now the question is, what deal does Elena have with the strange man that kidnapped us?. I asked that after a while, she turns her eyes away and said, ¡°well, his name is Mr. Rodriguez Rio, a former business partner of mine, who not only took my trust for granted but wanted to take over thepany without my knowledge, luckily I found out on time and set him straight¡±.


    Quietly I listened to every word she said, something within had this urge that Elena was fibbing to me, there was more to it than meets the eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay ma¡¯am, I understand when the people whom you love, take your kindness for weakness, right?¡±. I said and without hesitation, she affirms her words and asked me to get ready for the party she threw on our behalf, (Riya and I).


    10:00pm)


    I got dressed up for the asion and walked out to the party room, people strolled in and out of the house, I walked away to the bar section ordering a drink when the light turned off.


    I loomed my eyes round and hoped, it wasn¡¯t another silly n of methane¡¯s but got it all figured out, as the light turned back on, sewing everyone¡¯s orifices to Riya, she slowly walks downstairs, donning an innocent smile on, Indeed if beautiful was a name, it would have been hers because she dashed out like a queen.


    While the party continued, I kept stealing nces of her, for some weird reasons, I was moved to go talk to Riya, which I did after gulping the drink from my goblet.


    ¡°Hello, may I have this dance?¡±.


    She slowly turned and notice my hand pulled out to her, repaying her eyes to me, ¡°no thanks, I do not want to dance with you, please excuse me!¡±.


    A startled look draped over my face, did Riya just say no to me? Or maybe I didn¡¯t hear her well?, As shocking as that might sound, it felt like a new Riya had been reborn.


    Another drama unfolds, when I veered back and saw Elena misbehaving in front of the entire guests, she lurched and danced without any form of self-control.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°What the heck is going on?¡± I asked.

 Chapter 59 Drunken

    Riya runs to her aid, yet the effect of the alcohol has taken a toll on her sanity, Elena nudged her away and walked over to the podium, swiftly dancing by herself.


    Behind me, I could hear guests soliloquizing to themselves, they said and I quote,¡± as Elena Khan went mad, what¡¯s wrong with her?¡±.


    It pleases me listening to such words about her and I know the press would also have a say in this, which will not be pleasant at all.


    Methane walks out from behind and saw Elena In such a mood, she turns her eyes and shoots me a devious smile, repaying her eyes to Elena.


    Something tells me that the real reason for Elena being in this state, as something to do with methane drew, that devious smile says it all.


    Riya called out for help, as they dragged a drunk Elena Khan to her room, away from prying eyes.


    I veered back to leave as well and walked in on the Riya, being cozy with another guy, she giggled at his every word and when she falls her eyes on me, a weak smirk, draped over her face, somehow this act of hers will eventually blow up in her face and I won¡¯t be there to help her, urgh! Overly dramatic.


    My feet ambled further away and past Elena¡¯s room, she nces through the window wearing a sad look on her face, I wonder what dramatic lines, she had in store.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, why are you still awake? You should be sleeping?¡±.


    Elena turns and saw me standing behind her, she moves closer and ced her hands on my face, and said¡±how can I sleep when I am so happy for all I have achieved in a short amount of time, it¡¯s awesome to have the whole world bow down to you, do you understand? And now that the entire world dances to the tunes of Elena Khan, I am unstoppable, I fear no one and not God!¡±.


    (She staggers while saying that)


    ¡°Wow,¡± I eximed, seeing how gradually Elena Khan¡¯s takes a loss of her sanity, as she falls on me.


    After tucking Elena in bed, I walked over to my room, and methane was sited in waiting for me.


    She lifts her head and saw me ambling in, ¡°hello, sal! What did you think of today¡¯s performance by our lovely Elena khan?¡±.


    I draped a smile on, shut the door behind, and walked further to her, ¡°hmm! Not bad my dear, at least you took my advice, if you want to take down my mom, you can go through her sanity!¡¯.


    ¡°Exactly my partner in crime, but don¡¯t tell me this is going to be the end of messing with Elena Khan?¡± Methane asked fiddling to get a reaction from me.


    ¡°No, It will not be the end, how about we y a game of fur and seek, called, hunted house!¡±. I answered back donning a smile.


    ¡°Hmm! I don¡¯t think I understand you, sal! What¡¯s going on in that head of yours?¡±. Itching to hear my response, methane asked me.

    (12:00pm)


    It was midnight and we have all gone to bed, the whole house was as calm as ice, the lights switched off until suddenly, something happened.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Hello! Elena Khan!¡±.


    A voice she knew called out to her, she unlocks her eyes and pulled back in a shocked manner.


    ¡°Y¡­ you¡± Elena stammered attempted to leave but got withheld.


    ¡°Did you miss me Elena? How do you even sleep at night, knowing fully well that, you not only killed me but my son that very day¡±. The voice says to her.

 Chapter 60 Shadow of the past

    Fear oozed over her, her hands began to tremble, her throat became sore, and her head all of a sudden became sweaty.


    ¡°L.. Liam, why are you here?¡±. She said terrified of seeing his ghost.


    ¡°Who? Do you mean me? I am here to make sure you pay for the crimes, youmitted! Did you forget, that very day?.


    (She manages to push herself off the bed and immediately ran out crying out, at the top of her voice.


    I poked my head out and saw how fast Elena ran to the living room, leaving her flip-flops behind.


    Quickly I unveiled myself and sneaked back into my room, I know you must be wondering what happened exactly, I¡¯ll tell!.


    In my previous statement, I suggested that we y a game of hiding and seek with Elena, that¡¯s why in my quest of making sure she gets want she deserves, I had to act like the ghost of my father, Liam Khan, by wearing a mask that looks exactly like him, to scare her and finallypel her to confess the sins shemitted to the whole world! if only you could see the look in her eyes when she thought that was my dad¡¯s ghost but in reality, it was me.


    Elena¡¯s voice rmed everyone at home, as they all ran out of their rooms, to see the aghast look on her face.


    ¡°Mom, are you okay, why were you shouting?¡¯. Riya attained her eyes to her.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    ¡°G.. ghost.. in.. my¡­ room¡± she quivered out of fear.


    Riya dragged a scared Elena back to the room, she swore that there was a ghost in there, but didn¡¯t see anything.


    ¡°Mom, there¡¯s no ghost here! What are you doing to yourself?¡±. Riya says to her.


    ¡°Huh!! That¡¯s impossible, there was a ghost right here, please, believe me, daughter!¡±.


    (She hugs Riya tightly as if her life depends on it, I watched from a safe distance, stering a smile on, this is only the beginning of her downfall)


    The next morning, I walked out of my room and took notice of Elena seated with a serious look on, the rest of the family walked in as well and took notice of her.


    ¡°What¡¯s her problem, they all said to themselves, and to add the cherry on top, the newspaper arrived at the front door.


    I veered further and got a hold of it, as I took note of Elena¡¯s photo, published on the front cover with an article that reads, ¡°famous business gets herself drunk at her party!¡± after reading the article, I swerved back and saw Elena standing behind, she pulls out her hands and dragged the newspaper from me, and saw the shocking news written about her.


    ¡°What?¡± She yells out and almost fainted out of fear, not quite long methane called out to her.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, please excuse me!¡±.


    Methane walked closer to her and showed Elena a document, donning a sad look on.


    ¡°What¡¯s Is this?¡± She reads through and pulled backward after confirming that the shares of thepany have dropped 25%.


    Without hesitation, she calls for an emergency board of directors meeting at thepany, as we all left.


    (Khan industries)


    The second we got there, Elena rushed into thepany and walked straight to the conference room, with the presence of the board of directors waiting for her.


    ¡°Good morning Elena Khan! I am sure you saw the report, your assistant showed to you?¡±


    One of the board of directors says as I walked in sewing his eyes to me.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Jason, I did see the shocking report, but I don¡¯t understand why there was a drop in thepany¡¯s shares?¡±.


    ( She seats and waits for their response).

 Chapter 61 Side note

    inaudible conversation)


    It¡¯s been hours, yet they were all talking in riddles, Elena assured that thepany will restore its lost shares before the end of the day, it was an absurd promise to make! How the heck is she nning to restore the shares of thepany, most importantly, how do use this to my advantage?.


    After the meeting, I left for my office, trying to wrap my head around the situation on the ground, methane pushed the door open and tossed a document to me.


    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Read it, I think you might be interested!¡±. She smiles sheepishly at me.


    I pulled out the documents, read thoroughly, afterward lifted my eyes to her In a shunned manner.


    ¡°You want me to be a business partner?¡± I asked, surprised.


    ¡°Yes! It will give you an insight into thepany!¡± She answers back.


    I ran a check on her before proceeding with my statement, ¡°I don¡¯t understand, but did you forget about my real identity, I do not think this time to uncover the truth!.


    ¡°Look! I do get you, but how about we do this! Get someone that we act on your behave, he gets hold off the shares and when you¡¯re ready to tell the whole world, your true identity, then it¡¯s left got you to decide.


    I weighed down my options and said, ¡°fine! That isn¡¯t a bad idea, now the question is, who the heck is going to y the part?.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how? But you have got to find someone that can be able to look Elena in the eyes and talk business¡±.


    (She leaves the office)


    I had no that was going to help me when God finally decides to send someone that walked through my door.


    ¡°Hello! Mr. Baltimore, here your mail!¡±


    The mailman whoes to deliver mails at the office, Lewis Chang, walks in and handed my mails to me donning a warm smile on, he saw looked perfect for the job!.


    ¡°Hold on, Lewis, can we talk?¡± I said, attaining his attention to me.


    ¡°Yes sir! Hope there isn¡¯t no problem?¡± He added


    ¡°No! There isn¡¯t, on the contrary, I need your help, can you help me?¡±. I fiddled to see his reaction.


    ¡°Yes sir but can you please tell me, why you need my help?¡±. He runs a check out on me

 Chapter 62 Six months

    Six monthster


    It¡¯s been precisely six months since I bought a few of the shares in thepany! Under the cover of Lewis Chang, abruptly Elena Khan decides to make the partnership Public, she calls for a press conference and idlis for the right time to air the news to the whole world, neither did my lovely mom, know that I also have mine as well.


    (7:09 pm)


    I strolled into the press conference, all dressed up and ready for the consequences of my actions.


    Methane drags me back and attempted to stop me, but instead, I walked away seated for the press conference to begin.


    Not quite long, Elena Khan walks out, and beside her was Lewis Chan, he shoots me a weak smile and walks towards the podium.


    ¡°Hello! Goodevening everyone and I¡¯ll like to thank you foring under short notice, but today I¡¯ll like to make a public announcement¡±.


    Elena veers and signaled Lewis toe forward, as he did, donning a smile on his face.


    she continues talking, ¡± here with me, is Mr. Lewis Chang, he been a wonderful help to the Khan¡¯s industries and I¡¯ll like to say, how much joyed I am to wee you to thepany¡±.


    I saw the glitter in her eyes, as she hugs Lewis, and pushed him forward to say a few words, he takes the microphone and said, ¡°I want to say a big thank you to Mrs. Elena khan for weing me with such open hands, but unfortunately, I am not the owner of the shares I bought, someone else owns it, I was only sent by him¡±.


    The shocking words, sparked uncontroble curiosity, at the faces of everyone seated there.


    ¡°Lewis, I don¡¯t understand? What do you mean, I can clearly remember that we both signed the documents¡± Elena answered back.


    (Lewis continues talking).T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I¡¯ll like to introduce everyone to the man, who owned the fifty percent shares in thepany, Mr!!¡±.


    He sews everyone¡¯s attention to me, Elena veers and ran a startled look on her face, as Lewis finally finished his statement, by calling out my real name.


    ¡°Mr. Liam Andre¡¯s Kahn¡±.


    (The whole room froze heeding to his words)


    ¡°What? That¡¯s impossible, am son is dead and his name isn¡¯t Andre¡¯s Kahn, he is! Salem Baltimore¡±.


    She walks further to meet me, ¡°tell them! You are, Salem Baltimore and not Andre¡¯s Kahn¡±.


    I noted the fear In her eyes, as she fiddles for my response, I smiled and gently ced my hand on her shoulders, ¡°hello mom, can¡¯t you recognize your son?, It¡¯s me, Liam Andre¡¯s Kahn, your very own blood!¡±.


    She almost fell unconscious the moment I told the truth to her, ¡°how! That¡¯s impossible! I searched for your body, this cannot be the truth, you¡¯re messing with me, right?¡±.


    ¡°Do I look like am joking? Am I smiling, or did you see the sign of a joker written on my forehead?¡±. I frowned at her words and watched as she veers back wearing a deplorable look on her face.


    As much as I¡¯ll love to serve this moment by seeing her in such a deplorable mood, I had important this do.


    I walked over to the podium, took charge of the microphone, and announced to the entire world once more that, I am the son of Liam and Elena Khan, the same woman who destroyed her own family and fakes to the world that she was the victim, little by little, bit by bit, I¡¯ll make sure that, the murderous Elena Khan¡¯s, sings to the whole world the crime¡¯s,mitted by her.

 Chapter 63 Stranger things is not working

    Out of anger and disbelief, Elena walks out of the conference room, as we all veered and watched her, I know this wasn¡¯t going to be thest of it! My mom has somethingrking in the dark.


    After the press conference, I returned home and walked in to see Elena, wearing a pissed-off look on her face.


    She walks closer, poked her head forward, and said, ¡°are you going to fight against your mother?¡±.


    I noted this wasn¡¯t a mare question, there was a hidden reason behind it, I veered back and said, ¡°what are you trying to say, Elena? I don¡¯t understand?¡±.


    ¡°Really? You don¡¯t understand? So tell me, how did you feel the first time, we met me after so many years?¡±. Elena asked, donning for my response.


    Her words pined a weak smile on my face, I loomed and eyes, trying to gather my words together, ¡°how did I feel? I felt pain, anguish, and hate, seeing the same woman, who killed my father and the only woman that gave me love! Did you possibly think, I¡¯ll be joyed seeing you! Elena?¡±.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    I took a step forward but she pulled me back, repaying my eyes to her, ¡°what?¡± I said maintaining the frown.


    ¡°Do you hate me, son?¡± She says to me.


    ¡°Really? Are you seriously asking me that Elena?¡±.


    It¡¯s crazy to see how affected Elena Khan was, I thought she wouldn¡¯t care if I did or not.


    ¡°Look, son!!¡± Elena tries altering thus I swopped in before she could finish her words, ¡°I am not your son! I was yours years ago but the second, you left me and my father alone, faked your death and took away the only woman who gave me joy, please I beg, don¡¯t you ever call me that name anymore, because you lost everything right too!¡±. (I frowned as I walked back to my room).


    THE FOLLOWING MORNING


    I couldn¡¯t sleep all night, it felt like the sleep fairy went on a vacation and decided to cease me from having any at all.


    Not quite long, methane walks into my room without knocking, I veered and noticed the re she had on, ¡°what is it?¡± I asked as she walks further to me and said, ¡°nothing, but how do you feel finally telling Elena the truth! Don¡¯t you feel scared? Aren¡¯t you at least a bit, shaken to know what will happen now that everyone knows your true identity?¡±


    I listened quietly to her words, although I am a little scared about the consequences of my actions what can I do? I had no other option.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    After a while, I strolled downstairs and got Riya constantly staring at the front door, she was so engulfed in it, that my presence there wasn¡¯t noticed.


    ¡°Riya? Good morning¡±


    Riya turns to me reciprocating with hers, ¡°good morning¡± and turned her eyes back to the door, when a man walks in, gaining our attention.


    I watched as she runs and hugged him, they might be friends? I said to myself I got the answer to my question, the moment Riya referred to him as, and I quote,¡± wee home baby! I have missed you,e on in!¡±.


    She walks past me, as they both went to her room, and shut the door.


    (Two hourster)


    The strange man brought in my Riya, walks out with her, they both held their hands and strolled out of the house.


    Riya giggled at every one of his words, as they both paid no attention to me seated in the living room.

 Chapter 64 Not so innocent

    After a while Riya walks in and left without saying a word to me, it shouldn¡¯t be a bother but I couldn¡¯t help but think! What¡¯s our problem?¡±, The same time, I took notice of some men dressed in ck suits, they stood and watched as I walked closer.


    ¡°Good morning, gentleman, how may I be of help to you?¡±. I asked fiddling for her response.


    I sensed the tension in the air as one of the men present there, let out to me, ¡°good morning, Mr. Andres Khan, I know that you don¡¯t know us but we are one of thepanywyers!¡± He said and pulls his hands to shake me.


    I ran a curious look on, retorting back with another question, ¡°so! What are you doing here? Why are you here? Is there a problem?¡±.


    Immediately they shook their heads and replied with the answer to my question, ¡°no problem sir but we were sent by Mrs. Elena Khan, who we got to find out was your mom during the conference yesterday she wants to step down as the chairwoman of thepany and reinstate you as the new chairman and the heir to the Khan industries¡±.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It¡¯s crazy to think that, Elena Khan would be willing to step down from being the chairwoman of thepany without a fight, who knows maybe, my mom might be going soft.


    I ushered them in, as they brought out the power of attorney documents to me and requested I sign my signature on it, thus without thinking I pulled out my pen and signed on the papers, after that they left, hurling Elena in.


    I watched and saw the gloomy look on her face, she walks past trying not to get my attention but I knew my mom wanted me to, still, I didn¡¯t alter a single word and watched her leave.


    The subsequent day, I worked with myptop in the living room, I was engulfed going through the statement of ount, when I found out that the statement of ounts from the past three months is missing, the bnce of each month doesn¡¯t at up, and I knew who had the answers to my questions, without hesitation, I pulled out my phone and called methane home, she walks in after an hour time, and inquired the reason behind the paranoid tone, she noticed through the phone.


    ¡°Please kindly exin, what this is?¡±. I tossed the documents to her as she reads through them, she lifts her head the second, her eyes ran through thest words, retorting back with a question, ¡°I don¡¯t understand Mr khan! What this mean?¡±.


    It seems the mind games yed by my mom weren¡¯t enough, methane seems to be working on the same game with me, by trying to y dumb.


    ¡°Are you asking that? Tell me the truth, apart from your hate towards Elena, what else are you hiding?¡±. (We both stared at each other for a while before she retorts back to me) ¡°I don¡¯t think I know anything Mr. Khan, why don¡¯t you ask someone else!¡±. (She veers to leave but halts noticing I stopped her, repaying her to mine)¡±I know that you¡¯re responsible for the missing money in thepany¡±.


    Methane giggled and turned to me, donning a funny look on her face, ¡°what did you just say? Missing money! I am responsible for it? Is this how to thank me for helping you get to where you are?¡±. She spots a weird look on my countenance, is it just me or does methane, feel like she didn¡¯t me a favor?¡±.

 Chapter 65 Not a favor

    look here sweetheart, I don¡¯t think you understand what happened, how we became friends but I want to refresh your memory and tell you that there was no favor attached to it, so please, don¡¯t act as if, you didn¡¯t me a favor!¡±.


    ¡°wow, am stunned you think of me as a thief, but let me ask you! What made you say such words to me?¡±. She asked donning a grimace.


    ¡± oh please, don¡¯t act as if you¡¯re innocent, because I know you ain¡¯t, tell me the truth, how much have you retained from thepany?.


    (She shoots a frantic re at me as we both stared at each other)


    Elena walks out of her room and met us in a tensed-up manner, ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± She attained our attention, At the same time, Riya walks in and noted the same thing fiddling to hear our response.


    ¡°Nothing Elena, it¡¯s nothing!¡±. I veered and walks past without altering any more words as they all look at me.


    Elena knew that I wouldn¡¯t have told anything if she requested for it, so when she repaid her eyes to methane, she had already left, Smurding a suspicious re on her face.


    Two hours went by, I strolled out of the house in hopes to clear my thoughts, I drove to the yground and saw Riya seated there alone, she gets up immediately the second my presence was felt, ambling away.


    ¡°Hold on Riya!¡± I said as she halts regaining her attention to me, ¡°what is it?¡± She asked fiddling for my response, I walked closer to her and said, ¡°how are you? Are you okay?¡± I said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t I look okay to you?¡± She answered back with another, attempting to repeat the same thing when suddenly a gun ran past her and hits the head of a statue.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I loomed my eyes round and caught a man, who runs away the junction our eyes met, so without hesitation, I ran after him, leaving Riya behind.


    ¡°Hold on¡± I yelled out, but he kept daft ears to my words, luckily he hits his leg on a boulder and tripped.


    I nailed him to the ground, and held his against his will, ¡°who sent you creep? Tell me¡± I waited to hear his response, thus didn¡¯t know someone sneaked behind and knocked me unconscious.


    (Inaudible conversation)


    (A few minutester)


    I woke up just to find myself home, who brought me home? I asked myself my question got answered, when Riya walks into my room, holding a first aid kit in her hand, ¡°are you okay?¡± She ced the kit beside me, paying her attention to me.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    ¡°Where you the one that brought me home?¡± I answered back with another question, she shoots a warm smile, after confirming the truth to me, ¡°yes! It was me, but tell me what happened? I found you lying unconscious on the floor! Did anything happen?¡±.


    Truthfully I had no idea what happened exactly, but all I can remember was, I had man tried to hurt Riya and I was knocked out unconscious, trying to get the truth, is Elena behind this? Or is Riya¡¯s life in danger, because of me?.


    Question of the day?.


    1) Elena give up the riches, she fought so hard to get! Has she truly changed or is there a hidden n behind her shocking decision?


    2) now that Andres has finally gotten his lost fortune without any hindrance, is he save? Or will he have to watch his back, in fear of the unknown?.

 Chapter 66 Call of fate

    THE FOLLOWING MORNING


    I locked up myself in my room throughout the day, for some reason, I felt a little bit hazy from what happened night, when suddenly I got a call from the physiatrist hospital, informing me that Sara was requesting to see me! So I managed to get up from the bed, got dressed, and rushed out to the hospital on time before she tries to do anything stupid.


    Elena took notice as I drove past without taking notoriety to her and went straight to the hospital, after an hour drive, the car stopped as I ran inside the hospital, asking of the doctor, apparently, the formal doctor who was kept in charge of getting Sara under lock and key, got exposed and magically out of the blue, went missing, no one knows what truly happened to him.


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Andres Khan, my name is doctor Kim and one of my patient, named Sara Scott, keep making constant request to see you!. The doctor says as we both walk to her room.


    He pushed the door open, gaining her attention at the door, I walked behind the doctor and the second Sara saw me amble in, she runs and hugged me.


    ¡°Champ! Is that you? I thought I lost you?¡± She asked in a shaky voice.


    ¡°Yes, nanny, it your little Andre¡¯s Kahn, whom you took care of when I was a kid¡±.


    (We both shared a loving moment, I still couldn¡¯t believe that my nanny was gradually getting her lost mental health back, thankfully everything is going back to normal).


    (The doctor walks out of the room, leaving us behind)


    ¡°So tell me, nanny, how have you been, what happened while I was gone, how did you end up getting locked up by Elena?¡±.


    So many questions ran through my mind, and I noted the change in her demeanor, as she lets out the truth to me.


    ¡°Actually, that very day, Elena kill your father and I, after tossing you over the cliff, some group of people got there and dragged both of us to the hospital, and into the emergency room¡±, (she gives herself a break before reporting back), ¡°I got saved but unfortunately, they said that your father, couldn¡¯t make it, he died, the news got to me so badly that I vowed to make Elena pay for destroying our lives, so I hatched a n and tried to get her mentally unstable¡±.

    ¡°Every n got out perfectly, Elena was almost on the verge of losing her mind, but something happened, I got so excited and exposed myself in front of Elena¡±.


    ¡°She saw how much pains I had to put her through and so decided to make me pass through the same fate, but mine was worst, Elena tortured me to a point that I gradually kept losing my sanity, and when I tried to escape, she also found me once again and this time, paid the doctor, a huge sum of money to keep me under lock and key!!! It was hell, son, I felt so much anguish in the past years locked up at the hospital, I one day hoped that maybe, I might get a chance to avenge but thankfully, you¡¯re here¡±, nanny Sara ced her hands on my cheeks and said, ¡°son! Please promise me that, Elena will pay for everything she has done and please don¡¯t let her fool you, okay! That woman is a witch¡±.


    I saw how shaken she was seated next to me, a weak smile smudge on my face and I promised to make sure that Elena Kahn, gets what she deserves In the next three months, this is a vow, I have kept and will always keep, until it is fulfilled, no matter what.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay nanny Sara, I swear on my father¡¯s life, that Elena will nevere close to you as long as I am here with you, but first, I need you to do me a favor?¡±. I answered back, Smurding a suspicious look on her countenance.


    ¡°What favor, son?¡± She waits for my response.


    ¡°You will see, nanny, I promise you, everything will be okay¡±.

    Apparently, I felt it was time for Sara to return back home, because keeping her at the hospital won¡¯t be of a right decision.


    I held her hand, and walked out of the hospital, after signing the necessary documents.


    ¡°Son? Are you sure that bring me home will be the best decision?¡±.

    ¡°Nanny! What¡¯s wrong? Where do you think you¡¯re going to? I asked as she veers back donning a terrified look on her face.

    ¡°Andre¡¯s, what are you doing here and who is she?¡± Elena Inquired, oblivious to the fact that was Sara .


    I turned and said, ¡°don¡¯t you know who this is? Even after so many years, you still can¡¯t remember who this is?¡±.


    My question sparked uncontroble curiosity, ¡°I don¡¯t think, I understand what you mean! Who is this?¡± She incurred once more, as Sara finally decides to face the same woman whom she tried not toe in contact with.


    ¡°You! What are you doing here? Why are you here and how did you know that Salem is Andres Kahn?¡±.


    A bbergasted re draped over her face, it felt like Elena had just seen a ghost, iddling for a response.


    ¡°Aww!!! Are you shocked to see me! Elena Khan, after so many attempt to take my life, I am here now and i will make sure that you pay for everything¡±. Sara walked past, ambling into the house.


    I wore a smile and attempted to leave, ¡°hold on Andres!¡± Elena dragged me back and said, ¡°why are you doing this? Do you want to see me suffer, after all I have done for you?¡±.


    ¡°Huh! All you have done for me? What exactly did you do? Apart from giving birth to me, all you have contributed to my life is pains and anguish, so I am begging you don¡¯t ever forget that I hate you, Elena Khan, and if you ever try to do anything stupid, against my nanny or Riya, I¡¯ll make sure you pay! got it?¡±


    ¡°Hahahaha¡± sheughed at my words, shooting a funny look at me, ¡°did you just call Riya? A girl you pretend not to have feeling for!¡±. Elena says to me.


    ¡°I do know that, I haven¡¯t been nice to Riya, but at least, I wasn¡¯t the one who killed her parents and pretends to care for her, all this year¡¯s!¡±.


    Immediately the funny look watched off, as she res up aggrieved by my words, ¡°hey! Don¡¯t you ever forget that I am your mom! I mistakenly tossed you off the cliff but I promise you that if you ever try to do anything stupid or fight against me, I¡¯ll make sure that you pay!¡±.


    Now that¡¯s the Elena khan I know, the one who is willing to do anything to get what she wants, even at the expense of her family¡¯s happiness, that Elena Khan.

    ¡°Ady?¡± I asked back and brainstormed on who exactly she spoke off, apparently when she described thedy as a little bit troublesome, I quickly knew it was Riya, her middle name was miss trouble.


    ¡°Oh! I think you meant, Riya¡± I said wearing a funny expression on.


    ¡°Yeah! I just found out that, she¡¯s Elena¡¯s daughter! How is that even possible?¡±¡­ Sara asked, fiddling for my response.


    A smile draped over my face, as I rified everything to her, with no information left behind.


    Sara couldn¡¯t believe her ears, the second she knew the truth of Riya¡¯s real identity, I wonder how Riya, would feel when the truth is someday out for the whole world to know, that thedy whom they thought was her only parents, is none other but the one responsible for the death of her real parents.


    (Inaudible conversation, followed by the next morning)


    I got dressed up for work, after being informed of the meeting I had with some group of investors, the whole family was seated at the dining room table, and not quite long, Sara and Elena ambled out of their rooms at the same time.


    Elena took notice of Sara, as they both walked downstairs, ignoring each other.


    ¡± good morning, nanny¡± I greeted with a smiley face, my loving manner towards Sara instigated Elena to the wall, her face squeezed, seeing the rtionship I had with Sara and not her.


    An hourter, I left for the office, with Elena seated at the side, like a stranger. Sara walked me to my car and watched me drive away, after a while, strolled back into the house and saw elenas waiting patiently for her return as they both took notice of each other.


    ¡°Hold on Sara Scott¡±.


    Sara tried to leave but halts heeding to Elena¡¯s voice, ¡± what is it? What do you want?¡± In a disgusted tone, Sara asked?


    Elena took a few steps closer to her and mumbled, ¡°why can¡¯t you leave, my son alone? Firstly, you took his father and now him, what would you achieve bying here! Have you forgotten everything that happened to you?¡±.


    Elena thought scaring Sara would give her an open-source to get through her mind once again, but instead got bewildered by Sara¡¯s response.


    ¡± Nice try! Elena Khan, do I look stupid enough to fall for your silly ns, I ain¡¯t no naive girls and I do know you very much to realize when you¡¯re lying or even saying the truth, so please, if you want to lie to someone, don¡¯t even think of using me¡±.


    (Sara unfroze and left Elena shaken by her words).


    The whole day, ran smoothly, at the office after the emergency meeting with the board of directors, I went into my office and walked in on ady who faced her back at me.


    ¡°Hello, who are you?¡± I asked in novelty, as thedy veers, stering a shunned look on my face.


    ¡°Lia is that you?¡± I said geeking at her.

 Chapter 69 Dooms day

    How are you!!! Silly¡± she smiles and tugged me close, we both partook a smile, before I went on to ask, ¡°what are you doing here? I thought you left the city, years ago with your parents?¡±.


    Sophia retained her smile, replying to me, she says and I quote, ¡°yes! I did leave the city because father got a job, but I am here now since I found out that, you¡¯re back to the city, I came to see if it was true¡±. (Smile)


    Thest hours were spent making up for a lost time, Sophia was a childhood friend in elementary school, she would alwayse home every three weeks for a slumber party at my house, dad and Sara will always keep a close watch on us, decerning how mischievous we were going to be if left alone in the room.


    It didn¡¯t end there, I brought Sophia home, after being adamant to stay at the hotel for a whole month, and trust me, I wouldn¡¯t have let her go anywhere, even if, I had to tie her up and fling her inside my car.


    We both stepped in and saw the whole family at the dining room table, having their dinner, they all wore a confused look and gazed profoundly at Sophia, like she was from the of Oz!! They weren¡¯t the only ones, miss trouble s Riya, tried not to make it obvious that she was curious about the young beautifuldy with me as I took Sophia by her hand and went upstairs to the visitor¡¯s room.


    Thus the second we got into the room, Sophia inquired about the strangers downstairs, reminiscing the past, I buffed a deep breath in hopes to exin, but instead was interrupted by the constant screamsing from the living room.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    I ran out to inquire about what the issue was! That¡¯s when I walked in and took notice of methane bringing Elena in a wheelchair, coated in damages.


    My eyes wandered off and attained the attention of Sara who fires me a weird look, I had no idea what transpired without my knowledge, but I walked over to find inquire about the sudden paralysis of Elena khan.


    Methane took Elena into her bedroom, as everyone left as well donning a gloomy look.


    After a while, methane who I wished to talk with, walked into my room, she veers and saw Lia and Sara in the room as well, to her, they were outsiders.


    ¡± who are they Andres? I ain¡¯t going to say anything with them standing here!¡±. She wore a frown contorting her eyes away.


    I know methane wasn¡¯t going to speak either, decerning Lia and Sara with me, but what was strange is, although she had no idea who Lia was! But Sara is meant to be a different case, so I raised a question, ¡± methane?¡± I called out as she repays her eyes to me still maintaining the grimace on her countenance.


    I continued talking as I practically told everything to her, she veers back in disbelief the second, I told her about who Sara truly was.


    ¡°Wait!! I thought she died? Didn¡¯t she?¡± Methane inquired receding her eyes on her.


    ¡°No!!! She didn¡¯t, although we all thought so, neither did we know that Elena khan, ced her under lock and key at the mental sanitarium¡±


    She returns her attention to me, donning a shunned look, ¡°wow!! Elena needs to be tossed into hell for being such a devil!! She¡¯s beyond wicked¡±. Methane says, ring at us.


    Question of the day?


    A) out of the blue, Lia Riviera, Andres childhood friend, pays him a surprise visit to his office! Is her visit for good or is there a hidden truth behind it?.


    B) Elena returns home, paralyzed and unable to speak, is she truly paralyzed or is it just acting?. Note, that bitch ain¡¯t to be trusted.

 Chapter 70 Tickets on death roll

    After a while, I walked into Elena¡¯s room and saw her sound asleep, she was so deep, that she didn¡¯t even know that someone walked into the room.


    I verged further and quietly fell my eyes on her, so many thoughts ran through my mind, that I wished my life would be better if only the woman who birthed me wasn¡¯t such a demoness, and father, would still be alive and here with me! But the universe knew why such things happen, even the one far from our moral strength.


    (I walked away from the room)N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    It hasn¡¯t been an hour I left the room, methane entered without anyone¡¯s knowledge, she strolled over to Elena bed, brought out a syringe from her back pocket, and said in a revolted tone, ¡°I have been praying for God to give me the chance to finally take revenge on you! I swear Elena, each day that passes, feels like torture, working for the same woman who killed my parents, I hate you so much, Elena Kahn and I know that you won¡¯t be missed, when you finally die, goodbye murderer, I hope you root in hell¡±.


    She strives to plunge the syringe into Elena¡¯s skin, the same time, the door dragged opened as Riya walked in and caught her red-handed.


    ¡°What? What are you doing? Are you trying to kill mom?¡±. Riya turned over to Elena and checked if she was still breathing, hence the second she veered back, Methane ran out of the room, thus Riya rushed out to detain her.


    ¡°Methane! Stop¡±


    Riya¡¯s voice got everyone¡¯s attention, I rushed out from my room, Sara as well, and Sophia with the rest of the family members as we all look at the drama going on at home.


    I finally got a hold of Riya and asked, ¡°what¡¯s going on? Why are you going after methane?¡± Riya veered and saw that there was no time to exin, she pushed me away and kept pursuing her, I knew there was no need to stay at home, Sara¡¯s signaled I go after Riya, which I did without taking twice.


    ¡°Hold on, methane¡± Riya kept calling out to her but she kept on running in an attempt to escape out from her.


    Unfortunately, her luck seems to have run out, she ran into an oing vehicle but somehow managed to sneak out without getting hit, it¡¯s either, methane was a ghost or it¡¯s just mare luck because it¡¯s impossible to survive a running vehicleing with high speed, even the driver stopped and got bewildered inferring how she managed to get away without being knocked down.


    Riya stops aiming to grab her breath, as I ran frightened by what just happened.


    ¡°So! Can you tell me, what happened exactly, why the obsessed chasing around the city?¡±. I inquired for the second time, regaining her eyes to me.


    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll tell you,¡± she says and demonstrated everything that happened, urgh! I knew methane will do something stupid and yet again without thinking, what goes on, in her mind every time the little minions in her head start speaking, it¡¯s either, getting killed is a hubby and now that Riya has found out, Elena is hell-bent going to know the truth.


    (We returned home)


    Sara waited for my return, pacing anxiously, Sophia gears up and asserted the second, Riya and I got back home, from running a marathon around the city of Elmore.


    ¡°Andre¡¯s, are you okay,¡± she says and veers asking Riya the same question, ¡°I am fine ma¡¯am¡± she replies donning a weak smile afterward strolled over to Elena¡¯s room.

 Chapter 71 Bette than you

    Sara waited for Riya to leave before asking me the pending question, running through her mind, ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± She asked me, apparently after exining everything, veers back in a shocked demeanor, Sophia twitched her head, to her, it was either methane was stupid or acting out of sentiment, but I¡¯m not sure, yes! Methane acted foolishly, but something doesn¡¯t add up.


    We all ran out of thoughts, trying to figure something out, thus, everything came to a whole new level, when I hoisted my head up and took notice of Elena ambling out of her room, with her legs and hands functioning.


    ¡°Huh!! What the heck is going on?¡±.


    Sara and Sophia sewed their eyes and took notice of the same, donning a startled look, Sara almost fell unconscious, we all thought that Elena was handicapped, after being in a shocking ident, this has got to be a sneaky n of Elena Khan, why would she act such a drama and act as a handicap.


    ¡°You have, five seconds to start exining, or else, I¡¯ll lose my cool,¡± I said in a disturbed manner.


    Riya shoots a weak smile and walks closer with her, (Elena), she says¡± I¡¯ll exin everything to you and I swear, it will be nothing but the truth¡±.


    We all quietly watched and waited for her to speak up with the truth, so she muttered fixing her gaze on, ¡°a week ago, I went to the office to speak with you, unfortunately, I didn¡¯t find you in your office, then, decided to convey my message to methane¡±.


    ( She continues talking)


    ¡°My feet walked close to her room, and the second I pushed the door open, I took notice of her conversation with a man, although didn¡¯t know his name and I don¡¯t care, what I was more concerned with the moment my name was mentioned¡±.


    ¡°Methane concedes how much she hated me and wished me dead, I listened to everything and she was so oblivious to the fact the someone was behind her, she makes a vow to get rid of me and take over the Khan¡¯s fortune, after getting rid of you as well, the second I was taken care off¡±.


    Elenafortably confessed everything to us, it shouldn¡¯t be of a surprise to me, I haven¡¯t trusted Methane to a full bar, I would be a fool to do so, and just because Elena pay a hugging game to uncover the truth, I still don¡¯t trust her and I won¡¯t ever be able to bring my guard down to do so! (Frowns)


    After she told on everything, Sara and Sophia went back to their room, as veered to leave, she stops me, gaining my attention.


    ¡°What?¡± I asked


    Elena takes two steps closer to me and attempted to touch me, rather I was quick to retaliate by nudging her hands away, affirming with a warning, ¡°don¡¯t even think of buying some fake sympathy from me, I¡¯ll never be able to pretend I love a woman like you¡±.


    She ran a sly smile responding to me, ¡°why? Can¡¯t I hug my very own son?¡±. (Emotional ckmail)


    ¡°No!! You cannot and please, I have told you so many times that you can never be my mom, you lost that right and I will never be able to forget nor forget the despicable things done by my very own mom, sometimes, I wish you died and never returned into our lives, at least father would still be alive and happy with the woman he loves and she loves him as well, my nanny Sara is the best and a billion times better than a good for nothing, bitter, envious, a woman like you¡±N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    (I walked away and left her short of words).

 Chapter 72 hateful comments

    Elena¡¯s clenched her hands out of anger, and watched me leave, she airs fist tightly and said, ¡°I¡¯ll make sure that the same nanny whom you love and rant about so many, ends up died once again, I am sick and tired of hearing her praises, luckily Sara is here and it will give me the ess I need to execute my n, idiot, I¡¯ll teach you not to mess with Elena khan, even though you¡¯re my son¡±. (She walks away)N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    I locked the door to my room, changed into my nightwear, and got into the bed, I felt calmness around me, the sounds ceased, until I found myself standing at the middle of a crossroads.


    I veered back, to the left and right, no one seems toe, I tried to move forward but my feet were frozen solid to the ground, ¡°what the hell?¡± I struggled to get myself free when a voice lets out to my hearing, ¡°Andre¡¯s! Please save me?¡±. Immediately I turned and took notice of Riya bagged down to the floor, I ran a shocked expression and still attempted to break myself free, at the same time, I took notice of my name, ¡°Andre¡¯s! Please save me?¡±. I turned back and saw Sara also in the same position with Riya, they both yelled out my name and pleaded for my help.


    I kept struggling to free myself, again I took notice of a voice who walks out, donning a smile on, ¡°hello, son, do you need help?¡±. Elena denoted a devilish smile, I know this was just a horrible dream, it ain¡¯t real! it¡¯s not real, I kept muttering to myself, but if that wasn¡¯t enough, the atmosphere changed and hurled Sophia In, she walks out of Elena¡¯s back and donned a smile on.


    I thought seeing her might be helpful to me, but no, I was taken aback, when she runs her hands on Elena¡¯s shoulders smirking at me.


    They both shared a smile, before repaying her eyes to me, Sophia tugged my head up and pushed it away!!!! Elena veers and dragged Sara and Riya against their will, she held them on their neck and squeezed the life out of them.


    Sophia stood at the side and watched everything, without doing anything to stop Elena, I attempted to break free from my temporary paralysis, but unfortunately, Sara dropped down to the floor, as well as Riya who fell to the ground, smurding a devious smile on Elena¡¯s countenance.


    She reinstated her eyes to me, still maintaining the devious smile on, finally, I was able to crack free as I drew a step backward, in disarray, seeing the two most important people to me, cold less to the floor.


    I couldn¡¯t bottle up the anger I felt within, I yelled out crying bitterly as it urged me back to reality. (Bedroom)


    Quickly I ran out to Sara¡¯s room and caught her sound asleep, a sound of relief hovered around me, thankfully she¡¯s fine, I veered to talk and noticed Riya ambling out of her room, holding an empty jar of water.


    She strolled downstairs and went straight into the kitchen, like a statue I froze at the same spot and waited for her to stroll back into her room.


    After a while, Riya closes in and saw me at my exact position, she looked back and forth, but still saw me at the same spot.


    ¡°Salem!! Are you okay, or maybe sleepwalking?¡± She closed the distance between us and donned a startled look on, the second I pulled her in for a warm hug.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± That¡¯s Riya speaking to herself.

 Chapter 73 PRC

    I felt an unusual peace, seeing them (Sara and Riya) in one piece, the atmosphere seems to change to a point I wouldn¡¯t mind staying like this for a little longer.


    But Riya was so dumbfounded to an extent, pushed me back to my senses, maintaining her same look at me.


    ¡°Salem!!! Are you okay!¡± She copies back her same words to me, fiddling to hear myeback.


    A weak smile was spotted on my face, hence I varied and walked back to my room, in a headcount of three out of five, Riya chased me and walked into my room.


    She attempted to no stone unturned to find out the weird demeanor I just demonstrated not quite long ago.


    ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on! Or else you will be sorry¡± Riya threatened to get the truth from me.


    I finally got over the shock and attained my attention to her, I know how shaken she was seeing me I seeing me in such a manner, but reeling in the truth was no way, the best option for me, so I told a white lie.


    ¡°Do you want to know something Riya?¡± I waited for her response but continued talking, after seeing the gaze in her eyes.


    ¡°I know you must be shocked, but I felt it was time to tell me you the truth¡±


    (I veered two steps closer and said), ¡°I love you miss Riya!!! I do know that saying this now, isn¡¯t going to change the way I treated you in the past but I was trying not to fall for you, I am sorry¡±.


    The startled look on her face seemed to have tripled, she veers back to leave rather tripped over on a stool and fell.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    ¡°Riya!! Are you okay?¡± In attempts to reel in a helping hand, she pushed it away, got up from the ground, and walked away without altering a single word to me.


    To her, I must be a confused soul, and I don¡¯t me her at all, I, Andres Khan, seems to have one destination for now and it¡¯s making sure that everyone close to my heart is an advert from danger, no matter what kind of danger it is, it¡¯s best they be far away from it.


    (The night drifted away, hurling in the next morning).


    I woke up feeling hazy, it must be as a result of the terrifying dream I hadst night, not quite long the doors to my room was pushed open, Riya walks in wearing a red flowering pattern cloth, she signaled the few of the maid to bring in the breakfast prepared by her.


    ¡°What is this?¡±I said repaying her eyes over to me, she shoots a warm smile and said, good morning Salem, today I felt like preparing dinner for the whole family, so here¡¯s yours¡±.


    I veered and took notoriety of the breakfast brought in by her, but what I was yet to understand is, why?¡±.


    ¡°Hmm!! Riya are you feeling okay today?¡± I asked, rather she walked closer, poke her head out, and said, ¡°I am fine, ever since you confessed your feeling to me, yesterday!!! You have no idea how happy I am seeing that, my love has finally been reciprocated¡±.


    I donned a startled look on my face, what the heck is Riya saying, what did I even say to her? Because I don¡¯t recall anything. (That¡¯s my head talking).


    After a while, I got dressed and strolled over to the living room, everyone varied and watched me, something feels wrong, and for some reason, Riya¡¯s name is written over it

 Chapter 74 Mind games

    Riya walks out and handed me two ne tickets, donning a huge smile on.


    ¡°What¡¯s this! And why are you giving me ne tickets, I never told you I would be traveling?¡±. I said but got interrupted by Elena¡¯s voice, she says, ¡°ohe on, don¡¯t act do stiff and besides Riya is just following my instructions, I believe it¡¯s high te we all went for a family vacation!!¡±.


    I veered and noticed the rather enthusiasm in her demeanor, what¡¯s going on in her head? I asked myself.


    ¡°Erm!! Am sorry miss Elena but you guys can go for your family vacation, while I¡¯ll stay back with my nanny and Sophia, bye!!¡±.


    I attained my eyes and walked past without altering a single word, but got withheld when Sara blocked my path.


    ¡°Nanny!! What¡¯s going on?¡± I whispered my words, as they all looked trying to listen.


    Sara says, ¡°Andres!! I feel it vacation is want we need to finally put Elena at her ce, think about it!!¡±


    Sara tried to make me understand the importance of epting Elena¡¯s invitation for a family funfair, or as they all called it vacation.


    I waited for a second before retorting back my words to her, even though I feel not so convinced about Elena¡¯s sudden desire to spend some quality time with her family, something must be cooking behind, I just have to find out, what is?.


    Sara reinstated my eyes and pushed me to speak, ¡°I ept the invitation, but when do we leave?¡±. I asked, ¡°today, as in right now¡± Riya let out before someone else could, attaining my attention to her.


    (A few hourster)


    We all got dressed and rolled out suitcases downstairs to the living room, Sophia also decided toe with and I don¡¯t think Riya was okay by that when she frowns at it.


    ¡°Okay then!! Let¡¯s go¡±. Elena walks down and went further ambling closer to the front door, as we followed suit.


    After a long time in the busy traffic at Elmore, finally we got to the airport, brought out our bags, and strolled in.


    The air hostess showed my seat number to me and my chair was in the middle of Riya and Sophia.


    ¡°Hello, Andres!!¡± Sophia bs out without thinking, veering Riya¡¯s head to her, ¡°what did you just call him? Who¡¯s Andres?¡±. Suspiciously Riya asked waiting for aeback.


    Immediately Sophia retained her eyes and quietly rephrased her words, ¡°huh!! Did I say, Andres! Who¡¯s Andres, you did hear me well, Missy!!¡±.


    Riya shoots me the same look, got up from her seat, and walked away without making aeback.


    ¡°Phew¡± luckily she didn¡¯t inquire more than that, is this just I, or I should be careful of Sophia as well? Almost exposed my real identity.


    ¡°Sorry Salem!! I almost made a huge mistake¡± she says in a sad and distant tone.


    ¡°Sorry!!! Did you just say, you¡¯re sorry, don¡¯t be, actually it¡¯s God¡¯s way of telling me that my real identity will soon be exposed to Riya, but don¡¯t know¡±. I answered back, sitting next to her.


    ¡°Wait!! Are you telling me that, Riya doesn¡¯t know anything about who you are?¡±. My initial statement was copied back to me.


    ¡°Hmm!! Nothing¡± I said.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°How!! I don¡¯t understand, didn¡¯t you expose yourself at the press conference for the whole world to know, then howe Riya, don¡¯t know a thing, it¡¯s impossible!!¡± She gives a headcount before proceeding with her statement, ¡°Salem, it¡¯s either Riya she doesn¡¯t know or she¡¯s trying to act smart by lying to you¡±.


    I ran bnces on her statement, is Lia telling the truth, does Riya know who I am but decided to y the clueless game with me?.. why?

 Chapter 75 Double Trouble

    The ne ducked after a three hours drive, we walked out and got into the car waiting to take us to the hotel, and a few hourster, it stopped at the ranch, dad built for a family vacation, as well strolled in and went straight to our rooms.


    Mine was in the middle of Riya¡¯s and lia¡¯s rooms, yet again for the second time in a day, is it just I or the universe is trying to tell me something.


    The same day, Elena we called outside the ranch, I walked out and saw a huge round table positioned in front.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!! I asked uncle Julian, he shoots a curious smile at me, then Elena walks in with Riya behind, holding a jar of shcards in her hands.


    ¡°Hello my lovely family!!! And wee too, Khan¡¯s family game night,e over and have a seat¡±.


    Elena seems to be in a happy mood, Sara falls her eyes and assured that everything will be fine because she knew that my mom isn¡¯t to be trusted.


    We all filled up the empty seats, Riya ced the jar of shcards in the middle of the round table and sat next to Elena.


    ¡°So!!! Who¡¯s going to start first?¡± Elena plunges in thought, and out of the blue, falls her eye on me. ¡°How about you, Mr. Salem Baltimore, can you kindly take a shcard and read what is it written¡±.


    I pinned a weak smile, dived my hands Inside the jar, and brought out a red shcard.


    ¡°Here it is!! So, what next?¡± I flipped the cards after Elena¡¯s revealed the instructions of the game to me, she says and I quote, ¡°you have five minutes to read what is written in the cards and point out anyone you wish to answer, and if the person fails to give you an answer, then he or she will have to do anything deemed fit by you¡±.


    This isn¡¯t such bad instruction, and if Elena fails, I¡¯ll have to tell her to do the impossible by exposing herself to the whole world to know.


    ¡°Fine let¡¯s start,¡± I said, proceeding further with the question, ¡°who is the singer that sang, love yourself?¡±.


    In a headcount, I gently weaved Riya¡¯s eyes to mine, ¡°you answer, miss Riya!¡±.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    She buffed out a deep breath rxed her nerves and replied, ¡°the singer is Justin Bieber¡±


    I looked into the shcards and saw it was the right answer, ¡°impressive miss Riya¡±. She smiles and dragged the jar over her directions, reading through the picked-up shcard by her.


    ¡°Salem this question is for you!!! Who do you love most in this world?¡±.


    The second, Riya asked, Elena¡¯s ears itched to hear my response, I turned my head and saw the look, the son, please say it¡¯s me, kind of look!!. She got the shock when I called out someone else¡¯s name.


    ¡°My Nanny, miss Sara Scott, she¡¯s the most important person in myself, after that, some else!¡±.


    ¡°Who?¡± Everyone still maintained the same look, waiting for a name.


    I didn¡¯t want to stare up prying eyes at Riya if I called her name, so I again called some else.


    ¡°It¡¯s is my best friend, Sophia¡±. I said, and decern how hurt Riya was when I called out someone else¡¯s name.


    (The game proceeds on)


    It was time to get a good night¡¯s sleep after spending hours ying games, which was supposedly fun, if I hadn¡¯t known Elena Khan, I will have been convinced that she was a good person, but in reality, she isn¡¯t.

 Chapter 76 Untold truth

    Riya POV


    The whole day expired with so much love in the air, even Salem had fun also, apparently, it was the first time I have seen him enjoy thepany of others, he always been awkward and lost-minded.


    ¡°Miss Riya¡±.


    I veered and fell my eyes on Salem¡¯s friend, what¡¯s her name again!! (Ponder in thought), ¡°oh yeah, it¡¯s Lia¡±.


    ¡°Hello dear!! May I help you please?¡± I donned an unstable smile and waited for her to speak.


    ¡°I¡¯ll like to ask you something! May I?¡±. She retorts back with a question.


    ¡°Sure!!! What¡¯s up?¡± I asked once more.


    Lia fills up the remaining distance between us conserving her eyes on me.


    ¡°I want to know something!! What do you know about Salem Baltimore?¡±.


    Her words make no sense to me, it¡¯s either this might be a rhetorical question or is she being serious?.


    ¡°Erm!!! I don¡¯t think I understand your question? What do you mean?¡± I inquired fiddling for her response.


    She frowns at my statement, ¡°oh please, Riya, don¡¯t act like you don¡¯t know that Salem Baltimore is Elena Khan¡¯s son¡±.


    (Thunderstorm goes off)


    ¡°Wait! What did you just say?, Who¡¯s what now?¡± I ran startled look at her, as she reciprocates her same words back to me, ¡°Elena khan has a son, and his name is Andres Khan, s Salem Baltimore, he fakes his identity just to hide the truth¡±.


    I pulled a step backward in panic, it feels like my whole world has been a lie, if Salem is Elena¡¯s son, then who I am? Am I in love with my brother?.


    ¡°Hey! Riya¡±


    Lia snapped me back to my senses, ¡°what are you thinking? If you don¡¯t believe, you can as well, walk through that door and ask your mom¡±.


    I had no idea, but to walk through that door as she asked me, I needed to know the truth, I have to know my identity.

    ¡°No!! You¡¯re not, finally the truth is revealed and now I can stop pretending to love you¡±. Elena pins a huge smile on, out of disbelief, I pulled and jammed up with Andres who held me from falling.

    We kept running through the streets, I constantly kept calling out to her but she refused to stop, luckily I ran up and held her back from embarking on a marathon race.

    Quietly I listened to her speak and physically assault me, I know that doing such will calm her for a while and it did, she nudged for thest time and fell on me, tearing up.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    It pains me to see her in such a manner, I did feel the same way she did, being betrayed by the people we love, somehow I tried avoiding her to know the truth but somehow she did, and out of the blue, (suspicious re).


    (Continues crying)


    Her head was ced on my chest, hands on my back, and kept on crying her eyes out.


    ¡°Look, Riya, you shouldn¡¯t be crying, and trust me I do understand the way you feel but tell me how the hell did you find out the truth,¡± I said.


    (Riya bottles down her emotions and lets out the whole truth to me and like a wolf targeting his pry, I took down everything, she told me and now Sophia has a lot of exining to do).


    (Hours have gone by after the incident)


    I returned home with Riya and took notice of Sophia seated in the living room sipping a cup of coffee.


    She veers donning a smile, ¡°oh hello Andres, you¡¯re back with the illegitimate child¡±.


    Her words got me upset but before I could retaliate, Riya did, she rushed out to her and forgot her hand on Sophia¡¯s face.

    (She walks away after getting her deeds done, after a while I did too and so was the rest of the family, remaining Elena and Sophia in the living room).


    (Our doors shuts close before they continued talking)


    ¡°Good night dear¡±.


    Elena had not many words to say but decides to go back to her room and get a goodnight sleep, (walks but halted when Sophia held her from leaving)


    Sophia says, ¡°did you expect there after going through all of this, you just opted out and leave!! No way in hell ma¡¯am¡±.


    Elena smiles and repaired her attention over to her, nurturing the same look.


    ¡°Really? What the hell have you done that makes you so special? And just because Riya pped, doesn¡¯t mean anything, that least now I know how dangerous a wounded person can be¡±.

    ¡°Are we doing aedy show because I happen to have a great scrip¡± (waits for a while, before adding to her words) ¡°staring Andres Khan as the protagonist of the story, Riya as the damsel in distress, Sara as the obstacle that needs to be taken down and oh yes!!

What do we call it? Oh yes, jealousy, You¡¯re so jealous and I know someday that jealousy will be the end of you¡±.


    (The room kept getting intense)


    Elena nudged her away out of resentment, and walked to her room, Sophia veers and noticed the anger in her eyes thus after a while left as well.


    She walks past and saw me still awake, ¡°Andres!! Why haven¡¯t you slept?¡±. Her feet move closer to me, fiddling to hear my response, rather I gave daft ears to her words.


    ¡°Andres!! I am talking to you!¡± She pulls out her hands on my shoulder attaining my attention back and still angered by the ident that happened, I shoved her hands off, affirming my words, ¡°now let this be clear to you that, whatever games you yed hours ago, I hate it!!! What or who gave you the right to go b out the truth to Riya in such manner?¡±.


    Sophia moves a step backward, donning a weak smile, ¡°aww!!! Are you angered by that? Did you feel sad seeing Riya cry or better yet, did shee crying to you?.


    (In a sarcastic tone, I was made fun of)


    ¡°Are you going to y this card with me? Did you forget I don¡¯t joke with the people I love and let me warn, if you ever try this stunt again or even look at Riya¡¯s direction, you will be sorry¡±.


    My threatening voice quivered her, she rephrased her step¡¯s and walks closer to the door, but halts repaying her eyes over to my direction, ¡± Andres, are you sure, you¡¯re not in love with Riya? Because if you ask me, I¡¯ll say you¡¯re head over heels in love with miss am so perfect (Riya)¡±. (Unfroze and left).


    (Her words echoed in my ears, it¡¯s not true!! I said to myself, still pondering on Sophia¡¯sment).


    The following morning, the footstep of someone running got my attention, immediately I opened the door to my room and took notice of Riya sneaking out of the house, wearing a hoodie over her head and a pair of sunsses.


    ¡°Where¡¯s she going?¡± I said as I run back in to change, and left to trail her particr direction.


    Riya boarded a taxi and so did I, after giving the driver an order not to lose the cab Riya was in.


    (Continued trailing, until it, finally stopped downtown in front of an old building)


    Riya gets down from the cab and walked in, thus I did the same, after giving her a headcount.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Question of the day?.

    C) Andres is still oblivious to his feelings for Riya, will he find figure it out on time or not, is Riya really who she ims to be?.

 Chapter 79 Broken glass

    I trailed Riya and saw her knocking on the third apartment, on the second floor of the building.


    An elderlydy pushed the door opened, donning a huge smile on, Riya happily hugged her as they both amble back into the room.


    Something urged me to forge ahead, as I do, ambling close to the same door Riya Walked into.


    A voice spoke inside, ¡°how are you Riya, it¡¯s been a while, my child¡±.


    Riya takes a few minuteste before replying to her, ¡°yes mom, I am okay, it¡¯s just that Elena has finally confessed that she took me from you and dad¡±.


    I was so engulfed in their conversation, I didn¡¯t know when a little boy nudged me and I identally pushed the door open, sewing Riya¡¯s and the olddy¡¯s attention over to me.


    ¡°You? Andre¡¯s Khan what are you doing here? Are you following me?¡± Riya gets up from the couch angered by it.


    The olddy dabs a brain freeze on her countenance, she veers to Riya and asked, ¡°did you just call him Andres Khan?¡±. Interweaving our attention to each other.


    ¡°Hmm!!! Yes mom, the fellow right here is, Elena¡¯s supposed died son¡± (in a straight and emotionless face, she lets out to me).


    We all shared a look at each other, the olddy fills up the distance between us and held her hands on my face.


    ¡°Are you really!! The evil Elena¡¯s only child?¡±. She copies Riya¡¯s words back to me and waited for my response.


    I took a step backward and throw a question back, ¡°and who are you? How did you know who Elena Khan is and why did Riya call you mom?¡±.


    Thedy shares a weak smile with Riya, who walks closer to where I stood, e with me, and I¡¯ll exin¡±. Out of curiosity I followed her, and Plopped down on the couch, fiddling to hear her speak, ¡°so!! Am listening¡± I uttered, still waiting for a responsible response for her.


    She buffed out a deep breath, took a stand after cing a wooden box over to me.


    ¡°This here contains everything you need to know!! And before you ask, thedy here, is my biological mother?¡±.


    My eyes widened up after heeding to her words, did she just say her mom? Or I wasn¡¯t listening to what she had to say.


    ¡°Erm!! Can you please, exin to me, did you just call this woman your biological mother?¡± (Buffed out a deep breath before continuing talking) ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t know who your parents are? Because based on the information I got and the words of Elena khan, she tells that you had no identity at all!! Were you pretending all this while?¡±.


    Riya ran out of words to say to me, she turns to her mom, sewing my eyes as well.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Listen to me son!!! Riya at first didn¡¯t know anything about her biological parents, Elena took her when she was only a child and trust it wasn¡¯t easy to make Riya realize the truth of what happened years passed¡±. She gives a headcount before preceding once more, ¡°and when I finally got to make her realize the truth, we both decided to have Elena jailed for the evil shemitted!!!¡±.


    After taking he heed of her words, I fell my eyes back to Riya who shoots me a gloomy look, who should I believe?, Because all the while, Riya has been pretending not to know anything about her real identity, not only did she fool everyone at home, she also makes me look like a fool.


    ¡°Can I be able to trust her once again?¡±

 Chapter 80 Hell cat

    Back home)


    The cab halted at the entrance of the mansion, I got out throwing on a serious look on my face, Riya walks faster and pulled me back, ¡°what is wrong with you? Why are you acting weird?¡±. She mumbles


    I gently removed her hands still venting how pissed off I was about the whole truth I retain a while ago.


    ¡°Are you seriously asking me that? Huh¡± I dipped in asking a question, Riya moves a step backward and throw a response to me, ¡°look Andres!! I don¡¯t understand why you are furious with me, isn¡¯t it the same thing you did? You also lied about your true identity¡±.


    ¡°Lied about my true identity? So you¡¯re saying it¡¯s the same thing you did!! May I remind you that Elena khan, murdered my father and tossed me off the cliff!! Don¡¯t you dare say it¡¯s two sides of the same coin¡±?


    My words triggered a harsh tone from her, she vents and held me by my shirt, ¡°what!! Did you think what Elena did to me wasn¡¯t enough, she destroyed my childhood as well, although I know I wasn¡¯t tossed off the cliff, my identity and that of my biological parents was taken from me, so don¡¯t you think it¡¯s the same time? I lied about not knowing the truth, but I only did that to expose Elena, and what did you do?¡±. (She hissed and attempted to walk away)


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare walk away from me, Riya!!! We aren¡¯t done talking¡±. I ruled, yet the minions in her head told her order-wise, Riya endeavors the same actions but swirls back the second I dragged her.


    ¡°What is wrong with you? Are you that stubborn not to listen to me?¡± I said In an elevated tone, which pushed hers as well, ¡°and who do you think you¡¯re to me, Mr. Andres Kahn, you are no one and just because you¡¯re the son to my worst enemy doesn¡¯t change the fact that you¡¯re just like a mother¡±.


    (Stillness takes over the atmosphere, the second Riya tagged me like amon criminal).


    I figured it was best to cool off a bit because fighting with Riya won¡¯t solve anything!! Rather we both will end up hurting each other with hurtfulments.


    So, I swiveled and took a step forward, when I heard something depleted to the floor, a curious look drop as I turned back and saw Riyaying lifeless on the ground.


    ¡°Riya!¡± Without reluctance to act, I rushed to her aid and called an ambnce, everyone at home ran out as well and took notice of what happened.


    Elena sights from a distance and paid close notoriety to what was going on, ¡°Andres!! What happened?¡± Sara asks donning a startled look at me, as I paid my utmost attention to her (Riya)


    A minuteter, the ambnce came and drove rushed Riya to the hospital, sheid on the stretcher, still out cold, what happened? Who shot Riya and why?¡± So many questions ran through my mind, and after a while, the ambnce opens up and dragged her into the emergency room.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    I paced around and prayed for a miracle, deep down, I hoped for a miracle, because she lost a lot of blood before the ambnce came home.


    (Hours passed, still waiting for the doctor to tell what was going on).


    Not quite a long doctor dragged the door open and took notice of me, he filled up the distance donning a gloomy look on his face.


    ¡°Doctor!! Is Riya going to be okay?¡± I asked still amazed by the whole scenario.


    The doctor buffed out a deep breath and said, ¡°please sir, we just found out that our blood bank doesn¡¯t have Riya¡¯s blood type and it will take a whole lot of hours before we can get one, and the more time we dy, the more danger she¡¯s exposed too, we need to get blood for her sir¡±.

 Chapter 81 Final

    The news shattered me to a million pieces, as my mind drifted away, that¡¯s when I remembered Riya¡¯s mom, (Mrs. Veronica), immediately I put off the scared look and drove to the exact ce, she opens the door and was startled to see me after a few hours spent with her, ¡°son!! Are you with Riya? What¡¯s wrong?¡± I figured she noticed the deplorable demeanor hovering over me.


    I tried so hard not to cast the whole truth, before letting her seat down, thus, I dragged her in, and sat her down on the couch as she adds to hear my response.


    ¡°So!! What¡¯s going on?¡± After a few headcounts she lets out to me, I ducked up my head, pulled out a stool, and says, ¡°ma¡¯am!! What I am about to tell you, promise me, not to scream¡±.


    Veronica promised and pushed a response, so I said, ¡°after we got home, Riya and I, had a little heated conversation and when I veered my back to leave!! She was gunned down at home¡±.


    ¡°Wait!! What¡± she dips up and attempted to stroll out in a hurry, but I stopped when I pulled her back, ¡°calm down ma¡¯am!! Do you forget that Elena doesn¡¯t know anything about you, still being alive, I need to find a way to get you to the hospital without being noticed, so you save Riya, she needs a blood transfusion.


    We both ran deep in thought, trying to find a way out, ¡°I got it?¡± After a while, Veronica yells out, attaining my attention.


    ¡°What!! How ?¡± Curiosity wrapped around my face, she says, ¡°there¡¯s no time to exin, I just need you to go down the nearest store and get me a pair of sses and hat¡±.


    I had no idea what cooked inside her head, so without hesitation, I rushed outside and a few secondster, strolled back in to notice the doors to her apartment were knocked out of their ce.

    The police barged in and still meet me in the same way, ¡°Mr. Andres Khan, you are under arrest for the murder of Mrs. Veronica Lewis¡±.


    ¡°Huh¡±. I was so engrossed with the whole situation, my words immediately disappeared, I didn¡¯t know what to say and how to defend myself, as they dragged me out of the apartment and straight to the police station.


    ¡°Get in¡± like a criminal the officer in charge nudged me into the cell and locked me up with the rest of the criminals, still wasn¡¯t able to alter a word to them.


    Somehow the press found out about the incident and within a short limited time, the entire police station was filled with reports, they managed to get in and took photos of me locked up behind bars.
