Mr Shawn snapped back to reality and apologized immediately. He hesitated before making his way to the door. Abigail got up and held his hands before he could leave. Mr Shawn paused unsure of what to do. His mind went blank. Abigail moved closer and wrapped her hands around his waist and he froze. She placed her head on his back and her hand rubbed his chest region. Mr Shawn was struggling in his mind to break free from her caressing.
Abigail whispered into his ears from behind him "I want you, Adam"
"Dammit (cursed Mr Shawn) what is she doing," he thought.
He grabbed her hands and stopped her from touching him but before he could break free, Abigail quickly stood in front of him and hugged him
"Please, don't go".
He tried to push her away but she whimpered causing him to quickly hold her by the waist thinking his forced push may have caused her to wound her leg again. She seized the opportunity and kissed him on his lips. He couldn't hold back anymore as he carried her to bed. Took off his shirt and kissed her all over. His clothes started coming off him one after another until he had nothing on. He took off what she had left on and thrust himself into her. Pushing hard and harder into her. She gasped with pleasure and let out soft moans. He captured her lips and kissed her passionately.
They both lay down exhausted from their lovemaking. The cry of the baby brought Mr Shawn back to reality and he stared at the woman beside him. He felt guilty immediately. It's only been a week since he buried his wife and his already in bed with the person who caused her wife's death. He quickly got out of bed and stormed out of the room. Abigail had a satisfied look on her face as she remained on the bed and watched him leave.
He went to pick up the baby and took her to his room. He quickly had a shower and prepared some food for the baby.
"I am a sorry little one, daddy has been bad. Daddy betrayed you and betrayed mummy, forgive me" he said with tears in his eyes.
The baby smiled revealing a beautiful big brown eye but started crying when tears made their way down her father's cheeks. He wiped the tears immediately seeing he was upsetting the baby and forced a smile on his face and started comforting the baby who fell asleep.
The next morning, Mr Shawn was sitting in the living room with a newspaper in hand. He finally picked up the phone and made a call. Abigail was just coming down the staircase when he heard him say "Bye" and put the phone down.
"What did you order?" she asked.
His back stiffens upon hearing Abigail's voice. Memories of the previous day came flashing into his mind. He shook his head and quickly brushed them off and said nothing to Abigail.
Abigail smiled and said "Forget it. pretend it didn't happen" She scoffed.
He shot her a look but said nothing. He felt ashamed and could not say anything to her so he left for his room with the baby in his arms.
Two hours later, the doorbell rang and Abigail answered it. Standing there was a woman who appeared to be in her fifties.
"Good afternoon, madam," the woman greeted
"I am Nora Williams. I am a nanny," the woman added
"Oh! come in," said Abigail and she called out to Mr Shawn
"Adam, the nanny is here," she yelled from the living room.
She led the lady in and offered her a seat in the living room.
"At least he got an old lady for the job and not a pretty young girl," Abigail thought to herself as she went back upstairs with a bottle of juice in her hands.
Mr Shawn took Nora upstairs after a brief conversation and gave her his room and moved his things to the bedroom downstairs. He didn't want to be close to Abigail. Nora was a bit surprised to see Mr Shawn give her his room and rather moved downstairs but brushed it off when she realized she would be directly opposite the baby's room.
Nora did not just take care of the baby but took care of the entire house's needs. The first few weeks were quite stressful for her with Abigail's behaviour and Mr Shawn's silence but Nora quickly got used to the strange situation in the house. Nora concluded Abigail and Mr Shawn were not a couple even though she knew nothing of their relationship. Their behaviour towards each other says it all.
One night, Nora was reading a book to little Lily who refused to sleep without hearing a story.
"Okay now, be a good girl and I promise I will make you your favourite pancake for breakfast in the morning. Last story and you close your eyes and sleep," said Nora.
Lily smiled and nodded joyfully. Lily got off her bed and sat on Nora's lap and smiled at her. Nora held her in her arms and read her a story while sitting on the rocking chair. Lily was finally asleep. Nora placed her on the bed. Changed the bedside lap colour to blue and left the room.
She heard a sound from downstairs before she could enter her room. Confused, she checked the time and it was past midnight. Lily is mostly asleep by 8 pm but it was past 10 pm and Lily wanted more stories and refused to sleep today.
She opened the door and thought it could be Mr Shawn was getting something from the kitchen since his room is close to the kitchen but then she heard glass breaking. Without thinking she went down the staircase, without putting on the light, and went straight towards the kitchen where she had heard the sound.
She put on the kitchen light but quickly turned the light off. "I... I ... am sorry. o mine" She quickly left the kitchen with her head lowered straight into her room.
"Did I see right, or were my eyes deceiving me (she thought) was that Madam and Sir" She just lay on her bed unable to clear the scene off her mind.
In the kitchen. "This is an awkward situation (said, Mr Shawn). It's all your fault. You know what touching me as that does to me"
"She doesn't know our relationship, so don't give yourself a headache. (She kissed him on the lips) Just ignore and let me pleasure you" she said. Mr Shawn carried her into his room.
In the morning, Nora was in the kitchen and concluded she may have just imagined the scene from last night since the kitchen looked the same as she left it. She didn't find anything missing or broken. She smiled to herself but before she could brush it off completely, she saw Abigail coming out of Mr Shawn's room in her pyjamas and a visible love bite on her neck. Nora's face was drained of blood.
"It was not a dream it did happen," She thought.
Abigail smiled at her and went upstairs. She met Lily coming down the stairs
"Carry me, Aunty Abigail," she said stretching her arms towards Abigail.
Abigail smiled and carried Lily, gave her a spin and asked her to go to Aunty Nora. Lily went to the kitchen and Nora snapped out of her trance upon seeing the joyful little child...
Mr Shawn came out of his room wearing a black tuxedo and holding a briefcase. He was on a call which ended upon entering the kitchen."Good morning Mr Shawn," greeted Nora."Good morning" replied Mr Shawn."Daddy, daddy" Lily called in her small voice running into Mr Shawn's arms.He dropped his briefcase and carried her in his arms. Planting a kiss on her forehead, he tickled her. Lily laughed and wrapped her arms around Mr Shawn's neck."Stop tickling baby Lily," said Lily in a small adorable voice.Nora smiled and said "Sir, Lily is 5 years now and I think it would be good for her to start school now. She is very smart and will learn more in school.""Do you have some schools in mind?" asked Mr Shawn."Nora was surprised by his question. Most parents prefer choosing schools for their children, why is Lily's situation different"Snap! Snap! came Mr Shawn's figures and Nora snapped back to reality."I would do a quick search and share what I find with you," said Nora."No need, get a
The car finally arrives at the school. Nora and Lily got down and the driver found a place to park. Nora walked into the receiving area. They went through the necessary process and Nora was glad she came with Lily. Finally, it was time for Nora to leave and Lily to be sent to her new class.Lily felt very sad looking at Nora leave but she didn't cry. The teacher held her little hands and walked her to her class. She tried to cheer Lily up by asking a few questions, but Lily was either quiet or would open and close her mouth like a goldfish.The teacher finally arrived at Lily's classroom and she handed her over to the class teacher. Lily was sent inside. She saw a lot of other children. They were all looking at her."Lily, this is your new class. They are all your new friends" said the teacher smiling.Lily had no expression on her face as she stared blankly at them. The teacher led her to sit with the children."I am Kate," said a little girl once Lily was sitting down comfortably."
Derrick sat in the back seat of the Rose Royce. He seems to be lost in his own thoughts. The driver looked at him twice from the rear-view mirror. He smiled to see Derrick's calm demeanour. He was usually giving off a very cold demeanour.George asked, "School was fun today?"Derrick said nothing but rather gave him a cold stare and turned to look outside the window. The driver smiled and the ride continued in silence.The Mingle family is extraordinarily rich and powerful. They own the entertainment industry, ten luxurious hotels and five Estates. For anyone to leave in any of their Estates you must be a top government official or extraordinarily rich and powerful. Fifteen minutes passed and the car arrived at the villa. Derrick got out of the car, gave the butler a nod and walked straight into the house. Derrick changed his shoes and headed for the stairs leading to his room. Before he could enter his room, his dad called out to him from his study. Derrick opened the door and thre
In a city called Villa Milpa Alta, a borough in Mexico City which lies in the southeast corner of the nation's capital, bordering the State of Mexico and Morelos. It is the second-largest and most rural of all the boroughs with the lowest population. "Yes, when is she arriving," the man on the call asked."Okay, that is no problem at all. You just need to give me my usual" He said laughing sarcastically.He put the receiver back on the phone. Just then the door opened and the cold wind blew in. Standing at the door was a woman in a black chevron maxi puffer coat. She had her face covered with a black scarf and wore sunglasses. She walked into the inn and politely gave the man a gentle nod in greeting. She placed a gold card with a tiger symbol on the counter. The man looked at it and said to the woman."Come with me." The man used the back door of the inn and the lady followed him. At Shawn's residence, Lily was happy about her newfound friends, especially Derrick. She enjoys going
Lily, upon exiting the coffee shop, runs into someone causing her to spill her coffee and burn her hand in the process. She wanted to lash out at the person for spilling her coffee but she recognized the person to be Derrick, Derrick Mingles her childhood friend. Without thinking, Lily placed the coffee down on the table next to her and hugged him. The man was taken aback by the lady's sudden hug and was unable to react. "Derrick, Derrick, I am so happy to see you again. I miss you so much, really really miss you" Lily said in one breath happily while hugging the man. "What did you say?" came the voice of a lady. Lily moved back from the man to see a woman who appears to be in her early thirties. She had rather a cold expression on her face. She was wearing a tailor-made glamorous dress. You can tell by just looking, that the fabric used in making the dress is very expensive. The dress was long and flowy with a split side. With one leg forward and hands akimbo she revealed a rather
The first thing Nora noticed about Lily when she walked to the kitchen was the red patch on her hand. Surprised she asked"What happened to your hand""Huh! O, that, just a little accident" replied Lily.She was not ready to share the details of what led to the burn on her hand. Nora who was very concerned drew closer to Lily to inspect her hand."Don't worry Aunty Nora, I just spilt coffee on my hand accidentally?" said Lily trying to calm Nora down with the excuse it was nothing."What happened, how did you spill the coffee to sustain such a serious burn" enquired Nora."Errrrr, I missed my step and spilt the coffee? coffee," Lily said clearing her throat."Yes, does what happened" she lied.Nora shot her a look, with a calm expression on her face and a much more relaxed posture she asked"Interesting. Have you become so smart now you think you can lie to me?" asked Nora"Huh, no no, aunty Nora" she stammered"Okay then, tell me, what happened exactly," asked Nora getting the first
Lily was in a hurry to join her friends to listen to their school band perform but bump into Derrick by accident who caught her and prevented a fall. The two had their eyes locked on each other for 10 seconds before snapping back to reality.Derrick let go of Lily after she had steadied herself but the two could not stop staring at each other in silence.Lily had a mixed feelings of surprise and embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly and lowered her beautiful long eyelashes. Derrick broke the silence"What is your name""Lily, Lily Shawn" She replied smiling awkwardly.Derrick wanted to ask if they have met before because he was getting the feeling of familiarity seeing her again but he stopped himself before he could ask and ended up rather asking"What brought you here""Oh!, an old school reunion party" replied Lily.Lily was feeling a mixture of joy and fulfilment within herself. Even though she could not explain why she was feeling that way about him looking at the situation now, sh
Derrick never cared about who he ended up with as a life partner until he met Lily. On his bed, with his hand behind his head and staring at the roof of his room, he found himself thinking about not disappointing his father and also not disappointing himself. He needs to give himself a chance to know what it means to care for someone.Until he met Lily he didn't know one can have an undeniable attraction toward anyone. Even though he couldn't define what he feels for Lily he could not deny the sense of belonging he felt both times he met her. He smiled reminiscing about the two instances Lily landed in his arms. His lips curled upwards. He recalled her innocent face, the purity in her big brown eyes. her plump pink lips. He wanted to know what her lips would taste like. He was in his dreamy thought when his phone buzzed and interrupted him. He picked up the phone and checked the caller, Marcus his PA's name flashed on the screen. He picked up the call"Speak""Our trip to New York Cit
