All of a sudden Lucky held her stomach and said” I am sorry mommy but I am hungry, can we find somewhere that we can eat?”
Camila heard the loud rumbling that came from her girl’s stomach.
This was so typical of kids, she knew that’s Lucky won’t let her finish the journey in peace. Even though she could afford the foods in the restaurant now, she still felt that they should go home first so that she can prepare for her a good home made food.
“Honey…. can’t it wait until we reach our new house? I promise that I will cook for you the noodles that you like so much then I will add a chocolate cake for you” she tried to convince the girl but she wasn’t listening to her at all.
Any way they had arrived early so it would not hurt to go and buy her something light at the restaurant while they wait for her friend to come and pick them.
The two soon settled on the restaurant and Lucky quickly gave her order. She was waiting patiently when she spotted another boy eating with his father on the other corner of the restaurant. He seemed to be bored and quiet as his father read a newspaper.
Strong men wearing black suits were standing on their side.
“Leo, please hurry up and finish your food. We should be headed to the mansion now. “Samuel told his son without leaving the page he was reading.
They were just coming from Mombasa where they had gone to relax for the weekend. As much as Samuel was busy, he liked to spare some time for his kid. He wanted him to like him except that it was proving to be difficult because the kid was a little complicated.
“I want to go and visit my grand pa” Leo insisted.
“You just came from over there last weekend, Leo. Do you need to go so soon? “He asked surprised at the way Leo doted on his grandfather. The man spoils him so much and that was to be expected as his grandfather spent so much time waiting for his arrival.
The boy pouted his mouth in annoyance and Samuel gave up. He was a tough man but when it came to him, he had no choice but to soften.
“Alright I will take you to go and see him for just a few hours. Is that a deal? “
“Thank you daddy”
After uttering those words, Leo looked at his side and his eyes caught the sight of a pretty girl. She was also looking at him and he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. She was smiling at him as if they had known each other all their lives.
“Leo, why are you looking at that girl like that?” Samuel asked his son. His son never mingled with other kids so he was definitely surprised. He took him to good schools where the children of the wealthiest were. But he always felt that the boy missed something which he couldn’t put his hands on.
“I don’t know, Daddy” he said subconsciously.” Can I go and say hello to her? “Leo asked while on his feet already and even before his father gave him permission he was standing beside Lucky.
“Hello, my name is Leo” he introduced himself once in front of the girl.
“Hello I am Lucky. Pleasure to meet you and this is my beautiful mommy” Lucky said and looked towards Camila who was really impressed by the young boy who just showed out from nowhere.
“Leo you are welcomed, are you here alone?” Camila couldn’t help but to ask. The airport was a crowded area and in case the child was lost she could get in to trouble for kidnapping. So she had to be sure about how she dealt with the boy.
“No I am with my dad, he is over there” Leo pointed to the spot where his father was sitting and when Camila looked at him their eyes met. She had never seen him in her life but he seems like a wealthy person. He was very attractive and even before she had thought about it twice she noticed how powerful he looked.
“That is nice” she swiftly replied then went back to drink her cup of tea as he watched the two children interaction. They just clicked together so fast and Camila wondered what was the deal between the two. Her sweet little girl was so choosy, she didn’t make friends that easily, but the boy just swept her off her feet.
“Do you mind sharing my food with me?” Lucky invited Leo.
“Of course why not, we are friends now and friends share things. I was just eating alone over there and it was kind of boring and I do feel that it will be fun eating with you” Leo said with happiness written on his little face.
Lucky giggled cutely and settled on her chair well and they both started to eat the plate of food. Tears of sadness started rolling Camilla’s face. Her very own son would have been just the same age and Lucky would have a companion to play with but destiny had to play a bad jock on her life.
Soon Samuel thought that his son had gone for a long time and so he decided to go and get him. He walked hurriedly and stood beside the table while looking at the two kids.
“Leo your time is up, please say good bye to your friend” he was kind of envious at the attention that Leo gave the girl, he was never that free with him however how much he tried to.
“Alright Daddy, Have you met my new friends? Let me introduce them to you…….”
But Lucky cut him short” I am Lucky and this is my mother…..pleasure to meet you” without expecting her to embrace him, she was already at his side and Samuel had no choice but to crouch down to give her a hug.
“Pleasure to meet you too.” He said and then released her. He turned to her mother and nodded towards her as he took his son away.
Upon seeing their retrieving body, Camila was filled with sadness. She had seen the boy only ones and he had such a huge effect on her. She still couldn’t get her hands on exactly what was going on. Camila just felt moody when he left.“Mommy, why are you sad? I don’t like that ugly frown on your face?” Lucky rushed to her side and gave her a warm embrace. She just knew what to do to calm her down.“I wasn’t sad, honey. I was just reflecting on things that concerns adults.” She hugged her tight and then kissed her cheeks. Lucky giggled at the warm sensation on her cheeks.“Don’t you think that Leo’s father looked handsome? Do you like him? Can he be my daddy one day?” Lucky said innocently, she wasn’t even aware that people just don’t become married like that. They had to be in some relationship.Camila looked at her suddenly, she didn’t expect to hear this from Lucky so it caught her by surprise. Tears rolled on her face, she denied her only child the right to have a father. Since th
Nova looked at her side and was immediately stunned. Camila was lost in her own thoughts.“Camila, why are you so quiet like that, is there something on your mind disturbing you?”“Nothing Nova, I just missed home” she replied and gave her a faint smile.Lucky was curled in her arms sleeping soundly. She must have been really tired to fall asleep. She didn’t even have the energy to look around. Soon they reached the apartment and Nova assisted them to carry their bags in to the house. It wasn’t that big. It was only a two bedroomed house, a small kitchen and a living room. It was just enough for the two of them for the time being and when she earns good money she would buy them a good house.She smiled and said” it looks perfect Nova. I appreciate you for taking your time and getting me this house. All this while she was carrying Lucky in her arms, the child was a bit heavy but she didn’t mind. Instead Camila held her so tight on her chest as if her life depended on the little girl.
With uninterested face, Samuel looked up the moment the door was opened and the first person he saw was the woman. He remembered her from yesterday and he became stern as he asked” You, what are you doing here?”Camila came out of her stance and her eyes widened in shock. Isn’t this the father of the boy we met yesterday with Lucky?She brushed the thought aside and decided that as the time progresses she will get to find out.“I am the person sent by the branch oversea to come help in the design department” Camila simply replied as calmly as she could, but she didn’t like the look he was giving her. It gave her Goosebumps.As he talked his Adams apple moved up and down in a seductive way and for a moment Camila couldn’t help staring at him.It didn’t last long before she heard his angry voice.“Why are you late? I am sure that you know that here at Hudson we don’t Condon such kind of behavior” he said with hate. His eyes were cold and dark at the same time. At least he was soft towa
Samuel then turned to Caleb and instructed” please take her through proper orientation and show her the office. I want her to start immediately.”“Thank You” Camila said as she stood up to exit the office. The temperature was too much, she was beginning to sweat. She can only hope that the man won’t be hard on her when she see her work.Immediately she turned to go outside she had the same deep voice calling her back.“Wait” he called, before you go I want you to report everything to me. At the end of the day I want you to be here in my office with summarized reports. Do I make myself clear?”“Okay” Camila replied.“Take this “he handed her a file with special specifications. “This will be your first assignment, read through the details and bring back the results in 2 hours”Her mouth opened in surprise, a quick scan through the document told her that she will need at least 2 days to come up with something acceptable. But she will have to do it and she will have to do a good job in or
“This is the last draft I am making and I am going home, my baby needs me” she whispered to herself and walked up to his office. Camila stood in front of him with the file in her hands.She dared him to try to reject it. She was going to walk out on him and there was nothing he was going to do. She was exhausted.“Are you done” he asked.“Yes” Camila replied.“Put it down on the table I will look at it tomorrow” he said sluggishly. Camila couldn’t handle the man anymore. Did he mean that she spent all her energy to work on the same thing and then all he could say was that he was going to look at it tomorrow?“I am sorry but you looked as if you wanted it so urgently. Why are you adamant now to check it out, could it be that you did this on purpose” she asked.“Know your place Camila,” he sounded honestly annoyed” I am the president of this company and my word is final. If I said I didn’t like it, it is simple it was bad and pathetic. So don’t come here to complain when you knew you d
She hugged her tight on her chest and whispered “ I am never going to leave you, honey. Mommy loves you so much, okay.” Camila never wanted to hear about that statement, it felt like her son was talking to her through Lucky. He was there somewhere crying for her to come get him and there was no feeling so terrible like a mother who had failed her child.She sat her down and cupped her face in her hands “listen honey, we will be together always, okay. No one and I mean no one will ever separate us.”Every day she needed to assure Lucky that she will always be by her side. She felt she had to.“Okay, mommy I love so much”“How much?” she asked and Lucky spread her hands wide and smiled.“Like this, mommy”“I love you more, honey” The nanny saw that it would take quiet sometime for the two to finish bonding, she picked up her bag and said her goodbyes by waving her hand.“Good bye ma’am, I will see you tomorrow” she said“Thank you for taking care of her, please come a bit early” she s
“You are so stupid Samuel. That girl is a snake. She is not satisfied with everything that you have done in her life and the help that you gave her father.”“I don’t care. End of discussion. Can you take me to my friend now?” He said with impatience.“As you wish boss”While on the car his phone rang and when he looked at the caller ID it was none other than Bella.“Hello Darling. How have you been? You forgot to come for our date today?”“I am sorry Bella, I know I promised you but I couldn’t make it. I had a lot of work to deal with.” In real sense he knew exactly what he was doing. He wasted the whole evening annoying Camila because he also wanted to avoid meeting with her.On the other side of the phone Bella was so disappointed, she had done everything in her power to have him but as the days passed by he was even further away from her reach. She needed to be his woman before someone else snatches him from her.“Alright darling, I am a good girl and I understand that you were ma
He never wanted the boy to grow up like him, with so much hatred.Samuel leaned down and touched his cheeks lightly” I do know that she loves you very much even if she is not here with you”“At least she loved me” Leo muttered softly.Samuel held his son’s head and asked” Tell me who he was that made you cry like this and I will make him pay. No one messes with my son and goes away Scott free” Samuel was enraged at who was not scared of him enough to make his son cry. He didn’t care whether he was the son of the president, he could care less.Leo was stunned, he couldn’t believe that his father was only interested in his classmates while he was here hurting. It is that he never cared about him or what?“The point is that if you go and revenge they will hate me more, daddy. I need my mommy. When they see her, they would stop harassing me. Daddy, please do something.” For once the most powerful man was speechless, there had been several situations like this but he didn’t think that i
