THE NANNY AFFAIR

I had no idea what pushed me to help her, I veered the press attention over to me and specifically made it clear that Elena had no hand in the disappearance of David, Riya’s fiance.

“Thank you so much, today you did what no one else could, you have earned my trust!”

A weak smile smudge on my face, and gosh it’s felt good finally getting the trust of the person you hate, even the Bible says, keep her friend close and your enemies closer than ever.

I got into my room, and saw Riya waiting Inside for my return, “really? What are you doing in my room Riya? Haven’t you heard of privacy?”.

Immediately the glitter in her eyes and the angelic mood she wore vanished into thin air, as usual, she banters words with me.

“Urgh! I am not in the mood Riya! Just tell me why you are here?” I frowned flinging my shirt off my body.

“Eww! She turns her back, shying away from me, “what are you doing? Are you getting shy?” I wore a weak smile on glaring at her.

Like a little child, she covered her eyes with her hands and avoiding looking at me.

“Urgh! Calm down Riya, it not as if we related by blood” I said gaining her words to me. “Are you serious, but I am mom Elena’s daughter” she says oblivious to the fact that she wasn’t in any way related to her, but due to her parent’s inability to pay up the debt they had with Elena, Elena decided to take her as collateral for the money not being paid, my mom seems to amaze me, ( Riya rushed out of the room).

The moonlight illuminates through my window, I got up from the bed and veered to close up my curtains when suddenly a gunshot was fired through my window, aiming it bullet at me.

Luckily I was saved by the medallion I got from my nanny Sara when she was alive, indeed I am very lucky.

Hence when the strange man saw that the bullet didn’t touch me, he ran for his life. Elena as well as everyone rushed to my room, they thought I must have been dead but fell surprised decerning me alive after an attempt was made on my life.

“Son, are you okay?” Elena asked me.

“Yes ma’am” I smiled falling my eyes to Riya who looked at me shocked, behind her was methane, and by her looks something needed to be done against her.

The next morning, I left quite early to the office, behind I called a private detective and specifically asked him to investigate methane drew, Elena supposed royal worker, and get it back to me through my email. (The private investigator leaves my office).

Not quite long, I took notice of the same person I asked to have a background check, walk into my office.

“Please, your presence is needed at the conference room” she veered back to leave but halts the minute I asked her a question.

“Do you have a problem with me?”. I asked being rested assured that her ill attitude towards me wasn’t friendly at all.

She turned and reply, ” why do you ask me sure foolish question Salem! I don’t have a problem with you but I might, when you begin to poke your nose, where it isn’t needed.” ( Unfrozen and left the office).

Afterward, I came back from the meeting, Riya veered in and hugged me,  plastering a shocked look on my face.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“What the hell?” I veered and met her daydreaming, is Riya feeling okay, or maybe the aftereffect of her wedding being called off is taking a toll on her sanity.
