RAYMOND’S POV Yesterday, I received an urgent call from Blair, telling me to come home as fast as I could. She didn't tell me what was happening, but she sounded so scared over the phone. What could be happening to them?Could it be Alisa?Is it that she has been hospitalized?I hope no one in the family. When she called, it was already night so, there was no way I could go back to the city.“Make sure you take care of everything while I am away.”I instructed the assistant before leaving and I trust him to do a good job for me. Since I arrived at the airport a few minutes ago, Blair hasn't been answering her calls, no one in the family is, when Ben isn't picking up his calls. This is so scary,I hope nothing has happened to them. BLAIR’S POVRaymond has been calling for an hour now, but I am not picking up his calls. I want him to be so eager to come home that the surprise will be a hit.Sighs. He must be so scared right now thinking all is not well, I am so sorry, Ray, but
It has been a month since Alisa started seeing the therapist and everyone is so happy that she is overcoming her fear of food. Even though she still hasn't been able to eat some of the foods, we are glad she could eat the healthy ones. Eventually, she would be able to love everything in food, that was what the therapist said.The most important thing is, Alisa is already adding a lot of weight,She has grown a little taller, and she is no longer thin. It's all thanks to Emily for allowing me to take care of Alisa in my place. Emily traveled out of the city a few days after the therapy started, and she has been speaking with Alisa on the phone only. I can't wait for her to see how Alisa has transformed.“Are you alright, ma'am?”Ben asked as soon as I stepped out of the apartment. These past few days, I haven't been so well, From dizziness to headaches, and sometimes, I throw up. Ben has been noticing it because he is the only one who is always with me. Raymond has traveled ou
The next morning, Blair was already at our gate.The previous night, she called to inform me that she would take us there. I couldn't argue with her even though I preferred driving there myself. Blair would feel somehow if I had rejected her offer, and it would even make her regret finding a therapist for us. “Good morning, Aunt Blair. How is Asher? You didn't come along with him.”“Hi baby, yes, Asher traveled with Uncle Ray, but they will be back today.”“Oh, that's nice.”We entered the car and she drove us away. “Here is the girl, and her mum.”Blair introduced us to the therapist.He looked at Alisa and nodded his head. “Hi, baby.”Alisa waved at him, but looked so scared.“Come here, Alisa, do not be scared, he's only going to help you.”Alisa nodded her head after Blair assured her. She moved closer to the therapist and he sat her down on his desk. “Can you tell me what food you like the best?”Alisa turned towards me, then looked at the therapist.“You mean my favorite
EMILY’S POVThat morning, I was in the shower when the Nanny came knocking on the bathroom door. She has never done that before, so she doing that means something was going on.“Mr. Kenneth is here to take Alisa away.”What!I exclaimed, grabbed my bathrobe, and came out of the bathroom.She said he was downstairs and she had said everything to him to stop him, but he yelled at her and said she was just a nanny.Kenneth won’t just take my child away under my nose.If he cared about her, then he wouldn’t have gotten into an affair with his secretary.“Kenneth!”He was about to exit the door when I shouted his name. Alisa was crying in his hand yet, he didn’t even pity the little girl. “Put that girl down now or else, I’ll call Raymond and inform him of this.”He burst into laughter at the mention of Raymond.“Do you think I would have come here if Raymond if around? He is out of the city and won’t come back now.”What!So that is it?He waited till Raymond was out of the city before
The moment I stepped out of the car at Emily’s house, her voice could be heard outside because it was so loud. She sounded so upset, and she also sounded like she was crying. What could be wrong with her?It can’t be Alisa, right?Quickly, Ben and I went inside, but found the reason for her cry. Her husband, Kenneth was there with her, and he was holding Alisa who was crying too. “You can’t leave with my child, leave her alone!”Emily cried out. Wait, if I could understand this, Kenneth came to take Alisa away. Funny,The child he doesn’t even care about?He must be kidding. How I wish Raymond were in town, I would have called him to come deal with Kenneth. “What are you trying to do, Kenneth?”I interceded because I couldn’t stand there and see him humiliate Emily. “And what’s your business with that, woman? Who are you?”Wow!He is so rude.And he doesn’t know who I am?Wonderful!“You have no right to engage in our conversation, woman, you’d better leave now or else…”“Or
“I have a niece who suffers from this, too but she is 3 years old now.”He lifted his head quickly.“Really? Then I think you should consult the therapist and I am sure it will work for her since she is still a little girl.”Thank goodness!I hope it works for Alisa.Oh my God!This is troubling me. Emily must be feeling so sad now, How I wish Raymond had told me Alisa’s condition before I met Alisa. Now the deed has been done, and I must find a solution for her. “Take heart, okay? And thank you so much for your help. You can take a break for as long as you want until you’ve overcome this.”“Where have you been all day? You weren’t even in your company, and the receptionist didn’t know where you went.”Raymond asked as soon as I stepped into the house. “Oh, an employee of mine lost a sister, so I went to the funeral.”Should I tell him more?No, let it be a surprise to them.“Oh, that’s sad. I hope she rests in peace.”“Amen.”“So, why were you looking for me?”He put down his ph
