Chapter 5 Running with Jaxson babies

ASHELY POV

If Sherry should become a nanny there then that will make my plan of taking my children away easier for me. The Carter family are influential, wealthy and the richest people in the country and to be employed as a worker in their house will be as hard as applying for a job in a company but I'm ready to make a trial.

"Ashley you know it will never be possible for me to be employed and besides what if they do not need a nanny?"

"They are in need of a nanny according to the report I got from the agency."

Luckily for me, Sherry Just graduated from the University six months ago which I wasn't able to further because during this time I was still running the program of the surrogate job so I had to drop out of school.

But Sherry has to quit her job as a receptionist in one of the biggest hotels in the city just so she can take the job of a nanny which she was offered when she got to the Carter house.

"We are so lucky," I said excitedly the moment she showed me the letter of approval for the job and then she went ahead to explain to me that the former nanny was sacked because she made a slight mistake of not feeding the quadruplets their baby milk just 30 seconds to when they woke up and started crying.

She also heard that the previous nanny resigned because the workload of four kids was much on her even though her salary was much.

"Are you sure you really wanna take those kids away from them since they are getting the perfect care they need?" Sherry asked me and when I thought of how stressful it would be training four children I wanted to give up but my determination made me stand firm with my hand and heart stretched ready to receive them.

"Yes." I simply answered her then I walked over to my wardrobe and I picked a jacket which I wore against the cold.

"How are you going to do this? Going against the Carter family is dangerous!" Sherry screamed at me.

"I know and that's why I'm being extra careful besides, they know nothing about me." After wearing the jacket I threw her a kiss and then made my way toward the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I have an appointment." 

The moment I was outside the house my heart sank to my chest and I felt a stinging burning sensation in my heart. Things haven't been easy. I have to spend most of the night awake thinking of what my next move will be and this is affecting my health.

Checking the address James sent to my phone I stopped at the front of a small coffee shop. And the moment I stepped in I saw him serving some customers coffee so I sat at the counter waiting for him to come back.

"Hi." James greeted me then he threw me a small smile which I replied back with a frown seeing how his eyes trace from my face down to my chest.

Arsehole.

"What type of coffee do you like?"

"No, I want nothing." I quickly answered.

The time I will use in drinking coffee I rather use it to plan what my next move will be.

"You don't have to pay just…"

"I'm not here for that, please let go straight to the point." I cut him off and he had to pause for a moment to study me before returning back to what he was doing.

"Oh, I have forgotten that you are a very busy lady and don't have time for shit."

"Good you know." I rolled my eyes at him then made sure I was covering my head properly with the hoodie I was wearing.

I shouldn't be seen anymore in this city because according to the Carter family the moment they paid the remaining money they had ordered me to flee away from the city and never to return back and this was the reason I have been in hiding for the past five months even up till now.

Though they might not know my identity, I have to be on the safest side.

"So what is your condition, is it money?" I asked James, pulling out a bundle of money then I placed it on the counter.

James works at night as a security in the Billionaire agency I once worked for and I needed to sneak into their computer room to get more information about the Carter family and to delete my information from their system so that after I have taken my kids they won't be able to trace me.

"I don't need your money," James mumbled, pushing the bundle of money back to me.

At first, I thought he was joking because who would reject such a huge amount of money? But the look on his face says otherwise.

"What did you want?" I raised a brow at him.

He leans closer and then whispers "A night with you, let me f*ck your pu*sy and I will help you out."

"What!" I half yelled pulling away from him. I wanted to give him a hard slap on his face but I managed to control my itching hands.

"Get out! If you are not ready to follow my condition." James gave me a cold look then he went back to serving his customer. I waited more than 30 minutes for him to change his mind but he never looked in my direction as if I didn't exist.

When I'm tired of waiting I walk over to him "Fine let's do it tonight." Without waiting to hear more words from him I cover my face properly and walk out of the shop.

James is my only option. Breaking into the agency building is dangerous and others might get me arrested but I will be able to get in through James since all he wanted was sex then I will just do that to get my babies back.

After breaking into the agency computer room I was able to get more information about the father of my children and I realized that our pictures weren't pasted on the screen so we have no idea about each other except for his name and I was sure to permanently delete my information leaving no single trace of me.

THREE MONTHS LATER

It three months since Sherry has been working in the Carter house yet she hasn't gotten an opportunity on how we could escape with the babies not until around 4 o'clock in the evening on the 2nd of February she had informed me that Jaxson will be traveling away from the country this morning and his mother and grandmother won't be around leaving Sherry with the children which is the perfect time to carry out our plan.

I had booked a flight that night and early in the morning after receiving the message from Sherry I packed the little things I will be taking with me since I have no plan of coming back here.

Having gotten all the information about the house, Serry was able to sneak me in through the secret door at the back of the building where there were no guards.

"Oh, my babies." I cried out as I ran over to where my cute babies were sleeping peacefully on their baby cots.

"Aren't they cute?" I asked Sherry with my every attention still on the babies. I kissed the first one on the cheeks, the next one on the forehead, and the third one on the forehead too, and when I moved to the last cot to kiss the fourth baby it was empty.

"Where is the fourth one?" I quickly turn to face Sherry who has been behind me smiling but her smile dies off immediately after I throw the questions at her.

"Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you he was seriously sick so they had to rush him to the hospital."

"What?" My jaw dropped and my heart skipped a bit with the thought of my baby's predicament. 

"I can't leave without him…"

Call me selfish, but I don't care.

"Don't say that Ashley, this is the only opportunity you have and you can't miss it. Besides he will get all the love and care you wish for him here." Sherry encouraged me as she quickly helped me to wrap the babies well with thick clothes.

I felt bad about taking the babies away because I'm not sure if they will get the luxurious life they were supposed to have living with me.

"Come on, let's go," I said to my friend after putting them in a baby carry cot and belt.

"I can't go with you." Sherry broke the most shocking news to me and this made me freeze for some seconds before I got my senses back.

"W_what did you mean?" I walked over to Sherry and grabbed her by the wrist with a look of worry in my eyes.

"If I should follow you, the Carter family will trace my identity and will end up catching us. Since your identity is unknown to them it won't be easy to trace you."

"No, we can hide… we…we can run to a far place, we can change our identity and our look…please Sherry we have to go together." I cried out with a cracked voice.

"I'm sorry Ashley." Was the last thing I heard as Sherry pushed me out with the babies then she locked the door behind me.

"I will take the blame, make sure you survive with your kids." Sherry's voice keeps ringing in my head as I board my flight a few minutes before the deadline time.
