Derek’s security team showed up very early the following morning looking like some crossbreeds of titans and commandos. They were all nearly 7 feet tall with huge bulging muscles. There was Ed; who would serve as the chauffeur, Mark; who was Derek’s personal guard, and then Frank and Shane, who were Rachel’s and Zoe’s personal guards respectively.There was barely enough space for them to fit into the apartment that now looked like a doll house because of their presence there.“We can’t leave the country right away because Zoe doesn’t have a passport yet, so I’ll suggest that we go to Jonah’s place in Montana for a few days while we have it arranged, and then from there, we can travel to Bermuda. How does that sound?” Said Derek.“Sounds like a good plan if Jonah and his family do not mind,” said Rachel.“They don’t,” Derek said confidently. “I’ve already spoken to him and his wife, Vanessa and they can’t wait to meet you and Zoe.”Rachel couldn’t put a name to the feeling she was hav

When they arrived at Jonah’s ranch home in Montana, Zoe was fully awake and full of questions.“What is this?” She asked as they got out of their rental vehicle.“Do you mean where is this?” Rachel asked her with an understanding smile.“Mm-hmm,” replied Zoe with a nod.“This is where my friend and his family live,” Derek answered. “Let’s go inside and say hello to them, shall we?”“Ok,” said Zoe.Derek scooped her up into his arms and they approached the front door. The bodyguards were to remain in the cars until proper arrangements can be made for their accommodation.The front door swung open and a tall, dark-haired man with an Asian woman came out of the country home that was built on a large expanse of land that seemed to go on forever. There was a ranch on the left side of the land, and Rachel could see some horses grazing in the field. On the right side, there was a huge vegetable farm and an orchard on the far end of it. The place was absolutely blissful!“Welcome!” Jason gree

One week after their arrival in Montana, Zoe’s passport was finally ready and it was time to book their flights to Bermuda. The last few days seemed to have zoomed by as Rachel and Vanessa bonded on filming fresh content for their YouTube channels. Thanks to Rachel’s insight, Vanessa has now realized that the farm and ranch and even their home were enough to create multiple contents for her channel.Derek and Jonah fostered their lifelong bromance over their shared passion for horseback riding on the ranch. They’d pretend to be cowboys and chase the cows around, while hee-hawing theatrically. In the evenings, they played chess on the patio in the back while the children played at their feet and the women sat by the pond chit-chatting.The girls have also formed a sisterly bond with Zoe who follows them around like a curious puppy. She had started taking riding lessons on Fifi who happened to be the most docile pony in the world, and she has developed a fondness for Michelle’s playful

“Is the weather always perfect in Bermuda?” Rachel wondered aloud while lounging in the pool with Derek and Zoe, who was splashing around with a ducky floater. It was their second day in the beautiful country and the sun was shining from a clear sky.“Not always, but we came here at the right time,” said Derek. He took a sip of his chilled drink and sighed with satisfaction. “This is the life. I don’t know why I never liked the idea of taking vacations before. It just seemed like a waste of time to me because every minute that passed was a lost opportunity to make another kill in the business world.”“You’re the wealthiest workaholic I know,” said Rachel. “Why do you like working so much? It can’t be for the money because you’ve always had that.”“Yeah, it was never about the money for me,” he admitted. “I guess work helped me to suppress all my emotional baggage. It drowns out all the noise and keeps my mind constantly busy.”Rachel was surprised by this unexpected display of vulnera

Two days later, Elaine Martin, joined them in Bermuda from the U.S. She was the middle-aged, highly-recommended nanny that Vanessa had chosen for Zoe. Both Derek and Rachel had interviewed Elaine over Skype the day before and they were relieved when she’d said she was ready to travel immediately to resume work.When the woman arrived, Rachel was instantly taken with the nanny’s warm nature and friendliness. It was even more satisfying to see that Zoe liked her too.She and Derek spent the first few hours of Elaine’s arrival bringing her up to speed with Zoe’s routines and their expectations going forward. Once all of that was sorted out, the nanny was shown to her room in the villa to settle in and join the family for dinner later on.Derek had hired a team of caterers led by a renowned chef in town to prepare their meal for the evening. He was in the mood for some fine dining but he didn’t feel like going out, so he decided to bring the experience to the villa instead.“I think I sho
