NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV

-

Brianna didn’t eat all night last night. I fed her a few times, but she kept throwing the food on the floor.

I asked Esther’s permission for Brianna to have a face call with Sir Calix, and she approved Brianna’s request. After I told Brianna about that, she ignored me. She lay in bed all night until she fell asleep.

The sun was about setting, but Sir Calix had not returned and Brianna still hadn’t eaten.

After I checked on Brianna, I left her room.

I thought of only one approach to get Brianna to eat, and that would cost me my job. However, her health is more important. I can still find another job. I just hope I can ask Sir Calix about the debts I owe him.

I went to the dining table where Esther was fixing food for Brianna.

“Did Brianna agree to eat?”

I shook my head, a silent expression of my sorrow. “But I thought of a way for her to eat.”

“What is it? Is there anything I can help with so we can feed her?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, what is it?”

“Let’s call Ma’am Veronica

    NATHALIE’S POV-As soon as we left the building, our first destination was the playground Brianna had been eyeing earlier.Some children were playing, alongside their parents or apparent family. I was the only one in scrubs.“Baby, do you want to play?”Brianna nodded.“How about this, baby? You can play on the equipment the kids aren’t using, like the seesaw—” I shook my head. That would be dangerous unless she accompanied me on the other side of the chair. “How about over there? I’ll hold you.”I indicated the iron object; it needed moving to the opposite side from where it hung.Brianna shook her head.Nearly all the non-hazardous items, including the swing and slide, were in use, and many more children were present.“Baby, let’s just go for a walk?”She nodded with a forced smile.I hesitated to propose going back, lest children might still be present.“Let’s go?”She nodded again, prompting our departure.The area was expansive; we saw employees riding golf carts, some carrying

    NATHALIE’S POV-My eyes widened as I looked at him, “Sir?”“There are a few here that the wedding fee does not cover so use them for you and my daughter.”“Sir?” I couldn’t find the words.After we ate, we returned to the hotel room. He showered, and I asked him if Brianna and I could go out for a walk around the hotel. With the condition that I call him periodically, he permitted us to leave the hotel room. He then gave me a black card.“Sir, don’t you have a lower card like a debit card? The black card seems like too much.”“I don’t have one.”I pressed my lips to stop myself from exclaiming ‘wow!’ in amazement.“Take it.”I took the black card. I’ll just make sure I don’t lose it.He took the coat. “By the way, if I can’t make it for lunch, you can eat first and I’ll follow right away. I’m leaving.”As soon as Sir Calix turned away, I called him back, and he turned around to face me.“Sir, why don’t you give Brianna a goodbye kiss on the forehead? Gradually get her used to you hu

    NATHALIE’S POV-I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. I was about to get up but I felt a small hand on my waist, then I noticed Brianna hugging me while she was sleeping soundly.I reached for my phone on the side table, trying not to move my body.The side table wasn’t that far away, so I got it without Brianna waking up.I turned off the alarm clock, and then I requested a video call from my mother. It took a while for her to answer.“Good morning, Mom.” I greeted her in a soft voice. “Sorry I didn’t call last night. We had a sudden errand.”“It’s okay, dear, but next time text me where you are so I don’t worry about what’s happening to you.”“Yes, Mom. That won’t happen again.”“Why do you sound like you’re whispering? Are you okay?”“Better than okay, Mom. Brianna is next to me; she’s sleeping. Look.”I switched the camera to the back cam to show Brianna. “She’s cute, right?”“Yes, my child. She’s adorable. Look at her cuteness.”I switched the phone back to the front cam an

    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 abo

    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 thoughts

    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
