Chapter Five.

DIANA

When we got to the car park, their cars had already invited spectators who were gushing and wowing at the fancy cars. The police were able to move everyone from the place before they could place grandma in and the rest entered their cars also.

"Diana, what are you doing there, get in,” Grandma said and I was surprised she called me.

"Diana, get in.” I entered the car and I couldn't believe we were riding with Leo.

A few minutes later we got to the presidential house and believe me when I say it was huge and gorgeous. My mouth wouldn't close as I looked around, we drove into the compound was filled with different flowers and trees and we all came down when the car was securely parked. The look ma'am Nicole was face was not that friendly at all and I don't really know why she's angry at seeing me, not like am staying here forever. After placing grandma in her room for her to rest, three doctors and seven nurses walked in with some machines, I couldn't help but stare in awe. Rich people and their fancy lifestyle; they did some random checks up on her and also said the said thing the doctor at the hospital said. They also said that she shouldn't be stressed that the incident weakened her heart, two nurses were left behind to take care of Grandma and I took that as my cue to start leaving am sure my boss was definitely going to fire me.

"Grandma I'm leaving now, do take care of yourself and also take your drugs."

"Where are you going? You are going nowhere Diana; this will be your home and I won't let you go. You just have to tell your parents that Mrs. Smiths said you aren't coming home again or give me their phone number, and I'll talk to them. She stretched her hand out and tears fell out of my eyes when she mentioned my ‘parents’ I'm sensitive to that word.

"Diana, what's wrong? Did I say something that offended you? I apologize if I did, please stop crying" Grandma said lowly and Leo came in.

"What's going on?” Leo asked holding Grandma's hand.

"Grandma you didn't say anything wrong, I'm sorry if I made you sad it's just that I'm always sad when my parents are mentioned because I don't have one,” I said cleaning my eyes.

"What happened to them?” She asked.

"I don't know, I didn't grow up to meet them I've been in the orphanage and some foster homes since I was a baby and I don't even know if they are alive or not?”

"Oh my dear,” She made me sit and hugged me which I did back cause I needed it.

"Don't worry from now on you are not alone; you have a family, I am your family now so you can stay here,” Grandma said and I sniffed wiping my face.

"But what about ma'am Nicole and the rest, I don't know if they will accept me and I don't want to cause any problems here"

"Don't worry about Nicole, she wouldn't mind right, Nardy?” She asked and we both faced Leo who had a scowl on his face before he nodded.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Everything has been going smoothly, well I wouldn't say smoothly because ma'am Nicole is really giving me a hard time, always throwing insults and hateful glares anytime she sees me. Liam is a workaholic, he works without rest for 24 hours, Leo has been going from one concert to another.

"Miss Diana.” a maid called and I stopped.

"Yes,” I answered

"Grandma called for you"

"Okay let's go,” I followed her and we walked into the huge garden and even though I've been here five times I still marveled at the beauty.

"Granny,” I called excitedly and she raised her head from whatever she was doing and smiled at me beckoning me to come over,I sat at the bench next to her loving the breeze on my skin.

"How are you feeling, granny?" I asked.

"I'm fine but still feeling some pains in my back"

"You are supposed to be in bed resting granny and not doing whatever you are doing,” I said with a frown.

“I am not paralyzed Diana but I've heard you, I called you so I can ask what you would like to study if you are allowed to study at the university?”

"I've always dreamed of becoming a fashion designer and also a model, so if I'm given the opportunity I would like to go to the school of fashion" I replied with a dreamy smile on my face.

"Okay, I'll ask Leo to look for the best fashion school for you and also some training to become a model,” Grandma said and I gasped with tears gushing out of my eyes.

"Thank you, granny, you are my life saver."

"Please stop crying, you are like my granddaughter-in-la...I mean granddaughter so it's no big deal,” I hugged her tightly still crying.

LEONARD

I woke up and found a hand holding my waist tightly, I scoffed and gently removed it before standing up; I dressed up wore my mask, and left the room, I entered my car and rode to my penthouse. I got inside and entered the bathroom to take a nice shower, after dressing up my phone started ringing and the caller was Grandma so I quickly answered it.

"Good morning, Grandma," I said with a smile.

"Morning Nardy, how are you?"

"I am fine" I took my Rolex from the wardrobe and wore it.

"Can you come home now?”

"I'm sorry grandma, I have a movie shoot this morning but when am done I'll drop by,”

"Alright bye, love you"

"Love you too grandma," I said intending to end the call but what she said made me pause "Oh Diana also said hi, "she said and hung up before I could reply; Diana, I won't lie she is one pretty girl with those wide hips and a moderate boobs and you will see that ass that shakes every time she walked and why on earth am I thinking about Diana, my other phone rings and I picked it up to see my manager calling.

"Leo where the hell are you" Frank yelled.

"I'm coming,” I hung up and brushed my hair, I stared at the mirror for a few minutes before going out. I entered my Maserati before driving out to the venue of the shooting today's shoot is about when the male lead falls in love with the female lead and guess what I suck at acting this sick parts but because of the bed scenes I think I'll compromise, I thought with a smirk.

MRS SMITHS (grandma)

These past few weeks I have been observing Diana and she doesn't look like those pompous or money-hungry girls; she is very kind, respectful, and patient. I would really like her for my favorite grandson Leonard, she will make a very good wife so now I have to come up with an idea to bring both of them together but how, should I just tell them to get married no that possible knowing nardy he is going to reject the offer immediately so what am I going to do. Yes, I know what to do!
