The Billionaire's Nanny

★NINA★"Oi! Can I get a cleaner for this table, please?"I didn't know where the sound came from, but I still yelled in response, "Sure! Give me a few seconds, please!"I quickly cleaned the table and scurried around the tiny bar/restaurant, looking for whoever needed the cleaning. I found an old man waving with a smile on his face and approached him."Oh, someone's made a mess," I joked, and he chuckled. I leaned down, using the rag in my hand to gently wipe the beer off the table so it wouldn’t land on him."Oh, aren't ya beautiful? You look like my daughter," the elderly man said.I raised my eyes to him with a smile and shrugged. "She must be beautiful then," I teased, and he burst out laughing."Oh dear, she is! And young too," he responded, and I nodded."What's your name?""Nina, sir," I replied. I was done with the table, but the floor needed mopping. "Let me quickly get the mop and wipe this away!" I winked at him, and he laughed.That’s what I was good at—making people laugh

★NINA★After crying for perhaps ten minutes, I went back inside the bar, but a certain figure caught my eye. He was seated far back—alone—and staring at me. Even after catching his gaze, he didn’t falter. Instead, he waved for me to come over. Thinking it was just to clean his table, I approached him. He was dressed in a grey suit and was fairly handsome, with brown hair and grey eyes.As I reached his table, I found that he didn’t need any cleaning. He hadn’t ordered a drink, and his table was sparkling clean. Still, I asked, "Yes?""Are you in need of money?"It’s an understatement to say the question caught me off guard. I stared at the man as though he had grown a second head, while he stared at me expressionlessly. We held each other’s gaze as my head went into overdrive.Why was he asking if I was in need of money?Did he know me?Was he a stalker?The questions flooded me all at once, but still, I settled for a small, "Yes.""Good. Meet me here by eleven in the evening," he sai

★NINA★If I thought the exteriors of Malachi's house was luxurious, the insides were even more magnificent. Looking at his luxurious building, you'd know he came from old money.One of the security guardsmen who stood outside the main door to Malachi's led me inside. The foyer was an empty hall but then we passed by the sitting room which had perfect polished brown couch and a sleek caramel table at the middle. My eyes went around the sitting room, viewing all the paintings hung on the wall. Malachi probably had a thing for paintings.We took a turn to the left my breath hitched when we arrived at the dining room. Malachi—only in a white singlet that did nothing to hide his chest and muscles—was seated at the head of the table. A little girl with dark hair and that same beautiful shade of green eyes her father has, was seated on the right bedside him.My eye tilted to Malachi, he stared at me with narrowed eyes—at my neck particularly—amd then I suddenly remembered why he should be l

★MALACHI★It was late afternoon when I got back. The meeting had concluded really quickly. Taking off my suit, I nodded to the security men who opened the door. I wasn't being threatened to have all the security I did, but it was better to be always prepared.I entered inside and walked through the unusually quiet foyer. Lila had inhuman hearing and she always knew when I opened the door. But this time, she didn't. It made me raise my guard up, prepared for anything that might've happened.I walked inside then the noise reached me. It was more of Lila's and another older feminine voice. A voice that sounded sweet to the hearing. I made my way to the kitchen and that's when I saw them. Lila was standing on of of the kitchen stools, reading a book. The space wasn't dirty but the bowl of something milky inside and the pan atop the electric gas told me what they were doing. Lila was giggling too much and Nina would read from the book and do exactly what was being said. She stirred for so

★NINA★"Aunty Nina! Aunty Nina!"I heard the tiny distant calling of my name coming all the way from upstairs. I was in the kitchen, clearing up the remnants of lunch that we just had. Lila pulled her tiny self into the space with a book so big it covered her whole face. "Aunty Nina, I was looking for you everywhere!" She huffed, shaking her head while I just laughed. Lila rounds the table and meet me where I stood leaning back against the counter. "Aww, I'm sorry I had to stress those tiny feet." She was dressed in one of her pink gowns. I had to mentally commend Malachi for the kind of dresses he got her. "It's alright,"She grinned. "see!" Sage lifts the book up to my face. I collected it and scanned. "a drawing book?""Mm." She bobbed her head then sighed. "Our creative arts teacher gave us an assignment to draw a planet." She sighed shaking her head. "I'm good in everything but drawing, Aunty Nina."I laughed, nodding. I lifted Lila up and placed on the counter, pulling out a s
