“Hey!” Natasha yelled, attracting the attention of Alex. “What do you think you are doing?” she demanded, stalking towards him. He had dipped his hand into his food and was messing about with it. She glared hard at him, snatching his arm, pulling him up and dragging him to the kitchen. “Hey, sorry for bothering you,” she said to Evelyn. “Alex needs to wash his hands. Again.”Evelyn nodded, turning away from them as Natasha turned on the faucet and held Alex’s hands firmly under the running water. She waited until the mess on his hands were gone, dried his hands with a kitchen towel and pulled him back to the living room. As she carried him and balanced him on the chair, she glanced at Alexa, who was simply staring at her dinner. “Why aren’t you eating, Alexa?” she asked.Alexa shrugged. “I was waiting for him,” she mumbled, referring to her brother. She picked up her spoon and began to eat.Natasha sighed and walked to the couch, slumping on it with her eyes closed. It was already alm
FLASHBACK – SEVEN YEARS AGO“You invited my parents to dinner without asking me,” Malcolm suddenly blurted out. This was hours after he and his girlfriend, Yvette had had dinner with his parents; after she dropped the bomb about her being pregnant; and after his parents began to bombard him with questions about marriage. He was currently lying on the bed dressed in a pair of shorts while looking at his girlfriend – nope, pregnant girlfriend – pulling off her earrings in front of the dressing mirror.From her reflection in the mirror, he could see her lips splitting into a wide grin. “Yeah,” she said. “Fun right?”“Fun? Maybe.” Definitely not.“I wanted them to be there when I announced my pregnancy. I knew they would be so happy.”“You couldn’t have told me first?” he wondered.A frown appeared on her face as she slowly turned around to face him. “I thought it would be nice to, um, give the whole family the news.”“Nice? Oh, yeah, definitely. You should have also invite my uncles and
Malcolm slowly unbuttoned his shirt and began to pull it off. He stood above his bed as he pulled off his shirt, vest and trousers, leaving only his pair of shorts.Some minutes after he had chased Natasha our of his house, he sat with his kids by the table to eat. Afterwards, he sent them up to their room while he retired to his office in the house. That was something he did often. No matter how hard he worked at the office, he always had other work to complete at home. A typical day for Malcolm involved waking up as early as four in the morning, going to work, returning home around eight in the evening and then, moving to his office at home till it was almost twelve in the midnight.Sighing, Malcolm lowered himself to the edge of his bed. His mind suddenly flashed back to Natasha, the young woman he had decided to employ at first, until she messed it all up by losing the kids.When he first saw Natasha, he couldn’t help but think that she looked familiar. He had seen her before. At
Natasha rolled around on the bed, unable to sleep. It had been hours after she had left Diane in the living room, yet she hadn’t slept a wink. She hated nights like these – nights when she couldn’t sleep; nights she was plagued with thoughts of her ex-boyfriend whom she still very much loved; plagued with thoughts of her daughter who was just in the room across hers; plagued with thoughts of her irresponsibility.She tossed about on the bed, rising and falling. She tried to close her eyes, to get rid of those thoughts, but each time she did, images of Paul’s face kept flashing in her head. She kept seeing him everywhere – in her head, in Mirabella’s face. Natasha let out a loud groan, forcing her eyes open and sitting up on the bed.She hated herself. She hated that she was still in love with her ex-boyfriend. She hated that she couldn’t complete her education because she just had to be stupid enough to get pregnant. She hated that she couldn’t get a proper job in her office. She hate

FLASHBACK – SEVEN YEARS AGONatasha turned the key and pulled her locker open. She packed her books slowly, her head bent over and her face covered with her long hair to hide her face from the people around her. She wasn’t exactly what you would call popular, but she was quite known. In fact, people knew her because they knew her sister was currently the C.E.O of a company. Of course, none of them knew her sister was married to a famous person – that was a secret and the only person who knew was Alyssa.Speaking of Alyssa……“Hey, you know I can still see your face right?” Alyssa said in an amused tone behind her.Natasha jerked up, hitting the back of her head on the door of the locker. She turned to face her best friend, a frown on her face as she rubbed the back of her head. “Did you have to scare me?” she asked Alyssa who simply shrugged. “How long have you been standing there?”“Quite a while.”“Creep,” Natasha muttered and Alyssa smirked.“That’s me,” she answered and Natasha rol
Natasha raised her hand and pressed the doorbell. The door was immediately thrown open by Evelyn who had a scowl on her face. Natasha gave her a small smile. “Good morning, Evelyn,” she greeted. Evelyn merely grunted and stepped aside for her to walk in. As she walked into the house, she asked, “Where are those two little darlings?”“School,” Evelyn grunted.“Oh Good.” Natasha played with the straps of her bag. “So…. Where is Mr. Grayson?”“He is at work,” Evelyn answered. “He asked me to put you through what you are supposed to do and he expects to see you when he returns from work,” she stated. She glanced around Natasha, a small frown on her face. “Where are your things?”Natasha frowned. “What things?”“Your clothes and stuff.”“My clothes?” Natasha echoed. “Why would I bring my clothes?” she wondered, confused.“Aren’t you staying here?” Evelyn asked, looking at Natasha. “Mr. Grayson made it sound like you would be living here from now on.”“What? No way. We didn’t talk about tha
Natasha sat on the couch in the living room, bored out if her mind and waiting for the kids to return from school. She busied herself going through their schedule so many times that she could swear she had committed it to memory. On Mondays, after lunch, Alex had piano lessons and Alexa had singing class, which meant Alex would stay at home while she took Alexa for her classes. Tuesday and Thursdays were free days for the both of them. On Wednesday, they both had swimming lessons. On Fridays, Alex had her dancing class while Alex had his football practice.Natasha thought about what Evelyn said. Was she really going to have to be living here? While that didn’t seem like a terrible idea, it wasn’t something Natasha was sure she wanted to do. She wanted to be close to her daughter and she didn’t think bringing Mirabella over would be such a good idea. She was going to hash this out with Mr. Grayson. She wasn’t going to be a live in nanny.The door was pushed open and Alex and Alexa walk
