Entangled with the billionaire heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Marcelo’s povI watched from the top of the stairs as she walked out of the house. I saw her lingering for a while around Ella and I'm very sure Ella wanted something from her. Sighing loudly, I walked down the stairs slowly but loud enough for Ella to turn around and stare at me.Her bright eyes cascaded over my full length as if assessing me for a movie role. “Can you tell her?” She asked and I creased my brows. It's funny how she thinks I know what everyone is talking about.“You do realize I don't know what you're talking about right?” I asked as she puffed out air from her mouth. “I wanted her to stay the night and__”“She isn't paid to spend the night here Ella, she's our cook and nothing more.” I replied, ignoring the look of hurt on her face as she opened and closed her mouth.“You should be in bed now Ella, come on let's get you tucked in.” I said and lifted her into my arms as she giggled and threw her arms in the air, screaming at the top of her lungs as I ran up the stairs

Marcelo’s Pov“Thanks for your time Marcelo, it was really nice having you here.” Mrs Stephenson said, passing the files to her husband as I chuckled. They've been good friends with my parents since when I was little and it was always nice having them around.Few days back I received a call from them asking about the deal my parents were talking to them about. They wanted to sell a piece of land and I thought why not take it up and probably build a little house for Ella on it.“The pleasure is all mine, how's Fiona and your granddaughter?” I asked, picking up my bag as I got to my feet.“They are both fine in Canada and they want us to come over for the holidays but I refuse, it's too soon since we just arrived from Maldives.” She said as I saw her husband frowning in his face.“I don't think Mr Stephenson likes staying here, I think he likes going on holidays you should have a rethink.” I said hoping she'd have a change of mind but she remained adamant.Poor man I thought, as I looke

Stacy's povI walked up the stairs heading to Marcelo's office. It was already late and I needed to get back home. Jennifer was keeping an eye on my mom and so I needed to relieve her of that duty. As I walked up the stairs I smiled as I remembered how Ella held my hand tightly muttering gibberish in her sleep. It made me wonder what she must have been thinking about in her sleep.As I got to the door of Marcelo's office I knocked on it softly and allowed myself in. He was on his phone so I let my eyes dance over his features from his sharp cheekbones and the way his lips moved . “Cathy, we will talk later. I need to go right now.” He said and turned to look at me.I heard him cough and that's when I realized I had been dazed all these while and he must have noticed me looking lustfully at him. Gosh, so embarrassing, I thought.“I'll be leaving now Ella is asleep and I need to get back to my mom.” I said, thanking my stars that I didn't stutter. He nodded his head and stood on his fee

Stacy’s POVThere was a deafening silence after Ella’s outburst, I can’t believe she actually said that to Cathy. Honestly I really don’t know how I feel about Ella standing up for me.I’m grateful she stood for me but at the same time I feel some type of way, I don’t want Marcelo thinking I’m the one teaching Ella to be rude though I’m glad her smart mouth saved me from further embarrassment. Thinking about it now I don’t know why Cathy is picking on me. It’s not like I did anything wrong to her, infact I don’t think we’ve crossed paths so many times, it is what it is though.I already started this morning on a wrong foot, I just hope today doesn’t get any worse. I moved to go to the kitchen quietly so as to avoid another round of drama.“How’s your mother, is she better now?” I heard Marcelo’s voice from behind me.I nodded quickly avoiding eye contact with him, I still feel embarrassed from what happened moments ago.“You know you can always take a break from work to take care of

Stacy’s POVI spent the whole day with Ella, she kept asking me questions. She’s as curious as a cat, more than a cat even, she wants to know everything about anything,that girl is way smarter than most adults I tell you.She made me tell her about cooking skills. At one point she got herself a small book and made me tell her step by step how to make my infamous pancakes. She told me she would take over the kitchen one day and make them for me like I will allow her. I really do love spending time with her, she’s such a bundle of joy, it feels like my actual sister and she makes my job interesting and fun. I left the mansion later in the evening after making dinner, Marcelo wasn’t home when I left but Rose was there to look after Ella.When I got home, I met my mom in front of the tv. She looked better than she did this morning. Jennifer already left when I got home, she had a family dinner to attend. She’s such a lifesaver I don’t know what I’ll do without her.I moved to give her a
