Raising The Billionaire's Child Finale
"Eli," I gently approached my daughter who was sitting in a daze on her bed. "Time to see your doctor, Eli." I felt a pain in my heart when Eli didn't even look at me. My little girl was drowned in her thoughts again. "Elisha, Dr. Railey is already waiting for you." I sat beside her and kissed her head. "I don't need a doctor, daddy," she said in a weak voice. "I'm not sick." "He will just talk to you, Eli." Dr. Railey was Eli's therapist. For a week now, they have been doing sessions in an attempt to make Eli the way she used to. "Hey, do you like to visit mommy Hannah?" Upon hearing the word mommy, Elisha nodded almost eagerly. It’s always been like that. Whenever she was unresponsive, mentioning Hannah’s name always did the trick. Elisha would start responding like her normal self. "Yes daddy! I miss mommy so much!" "We're going to visit her. But, first you have to talk to Dr. Railey, okay?" "Okay," she voluntarily stood up. I bent and carried her in my arms. "I love you,
Raising The Billionaire's Child 1. Dreaded Time
“This year’s most anticipated wedding between actress Olive Concepcion and famous business personality and Hotelier Nate Sarmiento is set to be held this coming Sunday. For more of this story, here is Ynez Solis…” "Mommy, I'm sleepy." From the celebrity news that I am watching, my attention shifted to my baby playing next to me.Elisha was yawning and her beautiful eyes were already half closed. I smiled before carrying my daughter in my arms. "Okay, let's get you to bed now, my love…" I carefully laid Elisha on the bed in the only room of our small apartment. I then hugged her and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Good night, mommy. I love you…" "I love you too, Eli. Good night." I waited for her to fall asleep completely before I went out to turn off the TV that I had left open in the living room. The news about Nate and Olive was over. I sighed. I am happy for my best friend, Olive. But I am also afraid that their marriage would change her mind and think of taking back the
Raising The Billionaire's Child 2. Be careful.
"Mommy." Elisha approached me but her eyes were fixed on Olive. I looked at Olive. My friend was surprised, stunned even. Then she smiled at Elisha with tears in her eyes when she realized who the little girl was. "Hi," Olive said. "Elisha," I said. But it was more to remind Olive of her daughter's name. "I'm sorry, baby." I picked her up and sat her on my lap, directly facing Olive. "She's grown," said Olive, crying. "Go ahead, Liv. You can hug her." I smiled even though in my heart I don't like this scene. What if Olive changes her mind and then takes Elisha? Can I handle it? "Hi, Elisha!" Olive didn't move. "I'm Aunt Olive." I don't know if I would be happy with the introduction. But at least Olive spared me the trouble of telling Eliha about her real mother at the moment. "Hello," was Elisha's short reply in between yawns. "I see you're still sleepy. Want me to put you back in bed?" Olive asked her daughter softly. "No... I want my mommy." Olive smiled at me. A bit hurt

“Bye, Eli. Behave in class, okay?" I took Elisha to her pre-school the next morning. "Remember, you're only going home with your nanny, okay?" I was referring to Eli’s daytime nanny, Yoly.“Yes, mommy... I love you.""I love you too." I kissed my little girl before leaving for work.It was Monday so I had to get to the office right away. Well, being a college undergrad, I am still an assistant until now. But I was lucky that someone still accepted me despite my having no college diploma.I have been an executive assistant for almost ten years now. That long service already earned me the status of being our company’s little boss. It was because no one had yet to work with our boss, who seemed to have been conceived out of a bad mood, longer than I had.When I arrived at the office, the employees rushed back to their respective workstations from their earlier huddle while gossiping."Good morning, Hannah!" Mia greeted me. She was the closest to me because we came to the company almost a
Raising The Billionaire's Child 4. Deaf ears.
The village where Nate's house was located was huge and extravagant. But I didn't have a hard time entering the exclusive village because it seemed like the security were already informed of my arrival. Actually, I was asked to wait at the gate because someone was supposed to pick me up.Every minute that I waited, I felt like my heart was breaking. I was afraid for Elisha. My baby was with the man who tried to kill her while she was still a fetus. What was the reason for his sudden interest in being a father to her then? And he was even so sure that she was his daughter!"Ms. Hannah Rodriguez?" A black car pulled over in front of me. The driver got off when I nodded. "Mr. Sarmiento asked me to pick you up," he added, as he opened the car's door for me.I murmured a 'thank you' before getting into Nate Sarmiento's beautiful car.All I was just able to see was Nate’s car and the driver, but they already screamed luxury. The driver didn't seem like some ordinary chauffeur. He seemed mor
Raising The Billionaire's Child 5. Elisha's wish.
"Good morning. I'm Hannah Rodriguez. May I know the office of Nate Sarmiento, please?" I was in the lobby of the NS Hotel owned by Nate."Do you have an appointment with the GM?" The beautiful receptionist shot me a judging look."N-nothing. But he'll see me---" I didn't finish what I was going to say because she already picked up the phone to make a call to Nate's office.It was already the third day that Elisha was in Nate's care. It's the third day that I haven't seen my daughter. It's the third day that I’ve been going to each NS Hotel one by one to see if the owner, Nate, holds an office there. The one where I am now is the last branch in Manila. After this, I will have to go out to the provinces.But it is impossible that he is staying in the province. I am sure that Nate is based here in Manila. I’ll just need to go back to each hotel again if I’m still not successful today. I am already so worried and I feel like I am on my wit’s end. I even think I am going crazy already. Wh
Raising The Billionaire's Child 6. Indefinite leave.
Moving in with Nate Sarmiento never crossed my mind in the slightest. How could I even think of it if I despised the man for treating both Olive and Elisha heartlessly? We have just arrived at Nate’s huge house. I noticed that there were a lot of people and all of them looked formal. From the guards to the maids, they all seemed like hotel employees. Well, Nate is a hotelier. That shouldn’t be too surprising."Let me get this clear with you," Nate said once Elisha was out of earshot. "You will resign from your work and be full time watching my daughter." "But—" "I'll pay you, of course," he added insultingly, like it was very important to me to get compensated. "I just don't want Elisha to think that I'm not treating her 'mommy' well." "I do plan to tell Elisha – and I’ve already told Olive – that I am not her mother. But not until she can already understand." "That's actually my plan, Hannah. You're here with us just so you can have enough time to break it to Elisha gently," Nat
Raising The Billionaire's Child 7. New school.
Nate transferred Elisha to another school. Of course, it would be a shame that Nate Sarmiento's princess was studying in a cheap school. So no one dared question him even when the school year was ending and such a move was not needed. As long as Elisha was transferred to a good school, then it’s all good and acceptable."Thank you so much for entrusting your daughter to us, Mr. Sarmiento. We assure you that she'll be taken good care of," said the school administrator of the super-exclusive school that Nate enrolled Elisha with a smile.Ms. Cruz was a young school administrator. She was pretty and sexy too. Obviously, she'd been trying to charm the too formal Nate Sarmiento since we entered the room."I'm counting on that, Ms. Cruz. By the way, this is Hannah Rodriguez," Nate finally introduced me. I thought he had already forgotten I was with him. Nate and Ms. Cruz has been talking for a while now and he never introduced me, that I could only guess based on Ms. Cruz' subtle gaze that
