NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV

-

I glanced at Briana’s condition. She looked like a scared kitten as she looked back and forth between Sir Calix and Ma’am Veronica.

I wanted to intervene and take Briana away so she wouldn’t witness this incident, but I couldn’t do it until Sir Calix gave me permission to take his daughter away. I am not her mother who has the right to take her under any circumstances.

“Do you understand what you’re saying, Calix?” Ma’am Veronica had a grin on her lips. “Oh, do you know what you’re saying?”

It seems that ma’am Veronica had something to say that Sir Calix could not answer those questions.

“I doubt it.” Ma’am Veronica answered her own questions. “I’ll take my niece to her room first. I’ll talk to her first to make her understand that the only person she trusts in this mansion won’t be able to come for now.”

Now I understand a little. Looks like Ma’am Veronica is the only person Briana trusts.

Ma’am Veronica raised her hand towards Briana. “Come on, baby. I’ll tak

    VERONICA’S POV-Even though it was Sunday and I was supposed to be resting and relaxing, here I am, facing Calix’s lawyer.“Where is Calix?” I asked him.“He has something important to do, Miss Veronica.” he simply answered while searching for something in his briefcase.“If Calix wasn’t going, I wouldn’t waste my time talking to you,” I said; I grabbed my bag. I agreed to ruin my pamper day because I thought I would see Calix.“This won’t last five minutes.”Before I managed to stand, he slid a white envelope towards me. I took it out of curiosity and opened it. I knew from the bold title what it was for and as I read the entire letter I tore it up.“I won’t let my niece be far from me.”“Sir Calix, says if you have any concerns and if you wish to give a gift for Miss Brianna, you should contact me and I will tell or give it to Sir Calix.” he slid his calling card.“No!” I snapped. I slammed the table, not understanding the people who were looking at us. “Why should I talk to you ab

    ZANDER CALIX’S POV-I grabbed my phone from the center table and looked at the nuisance caller and who, in their right mind, would call this late.“What on earth, Wallace?!” I said in annoyance as I answered his call. If I could just punch him over the phone, I would have. I don’t care if his wedding is tomorrow. He ruined my chance to ask Nathalie.“Chill. Why do I feel like I’m bothering you?”“Yes.”“Did I bother you and Nathalie?” there was a teasing and meaningful tone to his question.“Yes and not like you think.”“Oh? Did I bother you?”My anger at this person made me close my eyes. I revealed that he was bothering Nathalie and me. Just when I found the courage to ask her, just when I had the chance to ask her. I wanted to know if she remembered me—that’s it.Thinking of her brown eyes just mentioning our first encounter, she couldn’t hide the fear in her eyes. Did she think I didn’t notice her sudden haste after that?“What did I disturb?”I snapped and returned to my thought

    NATHALIE’S POV-I can’t focus on ironing his clothes. I should have followed my original plan, and that was to sleep next to Brianna.I started ironing Sir Calix’s clothes. I was next to the TV because the outlet was here. While he was sitting on the sofa, sitting cross-legged while holding a glass full of ice cubes that he was chewing and looking at my every move. The silence was so intense that I couldn’t really focus because of his stare.I dared to break the silence. “Sir, aren’t you going to sleep yet?”“Not until you’re done.”“Don’t you want to watch a TV show?”“I don’t feel like watching.”“How about work, sir?”“I’m on leave until Monday.”“Sir, don’t you want to do anything?”“Kneel down.”I glanced at him, he remained staring at me—not blinking even as he drank another new ice cube. He enjoyed the ice cubes as if they were sweet candy, crunching them up and swallowing them quickly. He then downed the rest of his drink in one go.Before the iron from the hotel staff arri

    NATHALIE’S POV-The entire VIP room looks like an apartment, which is modern style and more high-class. Complete with equipment, furniture, living room, kitchen, and a room.Upon entering the room, there was a family-size bed, a closet, and a large flat-screen tv. “I will sleep on the sofa.”He helped me bring Brianna slowly to bed.“I’ll take the sofa, sir,” I suggested after we’d laid Brianna on the bed. “You might not be comfortable otherwise,” I added as a reason.“I can manage to sleep on the sofa.”“Are you sure, Sir?” “Yeah. Don’t worry. Another,” he glanced at his daughter. “My child enjoys being with you more than with me,” he said, his voice tinged with childish resentment at the end.“Sir?” I stopped laughing.I clamped my mouth shut when I heard my chuckle. It was cute of him, how he was pouting at her child. His face was serious, but his voice belied the expressionless look.“I’ll get your things,” he said, his voice returning to its usual gruffness, though a pout was s

    NATHALIE’S POV-“Are you done?” I asked Brianna after eating her last piece of chicken.She nodded, giving me the leg part bone she had eaten. I accepted it and hid it in the paper bag that contained our clutter.“Here.”I looked at Sir Calix when he spoke. He was offering wet wipes and alcohol.I took what he offered, ensuring no contact between our fingers—which I managed.My eyes fell on the rear-view mirror. My heart pounded again when I noticed his gray eyes looking at me.I can’t understand my feelings. My heart was beating fast, but I didn’t feel nervous.I ignored the strange feeling, noting Sir Calix’s familiar eyes. I simply turned my attention to Brianna.“Baby, let’s wipe your hands and put on alcohol to clean.”She extended her hand, and I saw she was blinking repeatedly.“Did you like the food?”She nodded.“Later in the hotel you drink water, hmm?”She nodded again, in an unenthusiastic way.“Are you sleepy?”Following wiping Brianna’s hands with wet wipes and alcohol,

    NATHALIE’S POV-After leaving the gate of Sir Calix’s mansion, Brianna only broke away from my embrace for a few moments.She was awestruck by the vibrant, radiant glow of the city at night.She approached the right side of the passenger door and I also felt Sir Calix’s car slow down.“Baby, be careful. You might press something on the door and the door will open.” I reminded her gently.“Don’t worry, I made sure all the doors were locked.”I looked at Sir Calix shyly. “Is that so, sir?”Brianna suddenly grabbed the jacket I was wearing and pulled it to get my attention—which I thanked her for but I didn’t know how to take my gaze away from her father’s gray eyes.“Y-Yes, baby?” I asked her, trying not to stutter but failed. She pointed at the window or outside the window. I wasn’t sure.“Do you want to roll down the window?”She shook her head.She pointed out the window again and as she looked at it, she looked in the direction we had gone.I followed what Brianna was looking at,
