"Ma'am Vanessa you can't do this to me, to be honest, I don't love that lady. Look, she's my father's wife and that's all about her that I know." She turned her face to the wall trying to hide the tears that already gathered in her eyes. "You aren't coming there for her, but rather as my babysitter. I don't want her to take care of me. Never, I don't want it. My only happiness to keep staying in that home is if you're with me, I can't stay with her."Vanessa watched as the girl spoke out in pain, she understood how she felt but the reason behind her declining the work is what no one can ever know."So now I'm I gonna be coping with my business and then babysitting you?" She asked her expecting a reply.Chloe wiped her face, she so much loved that question and is ready to answer."This is my idea on how you'll do it to our favor. In the morning, you'll come around and dress me up for school after which you'll leave to your bakery. When I'm back from school, I'll come and stay with you

**********After Xavier and his family had dinner at night, he sat comfortably on the sofa in the sitting room busy with the television.Chloe ran to him climbing on his thighs and resting her head on his chest. She felt so happy assuring herself that Vanessa will start work the next day."How was the day with Vanessa, hope you visited her at the bakery?" Xavier tried drawing the attention of the little girl who was about to doze off.She nodded while her eyes were shut closed. "I'm very sure she will start work tomorrow, I can't wait to see her again," Chloe uttered, her voice feeling weak.Xavier noticed that she was about to doze off on his thighs, he made her feel comfortable in his arms rather.He cuddled her and noticed she wasn't with him some minutes later, it gladdened her.It's high time Chloe slept off so easier as she just did, all these days before the accident occurred, she hardly shut her eyes talking more of dozing off.He lifted her into his arms and left them upstair

This lady will never give her a listening ear, she won't let her explain herself for goodness sake. And she's so sure that Xavier will believe her.She got on her feet and walked towards the dining where Lilian sat busy with her cellphone and meal too. She got seated opposite her trying to draw her attention."Lilian, you wouldn't let me explain anything. To be honest, I know nothing about that money, that's just the way I saw the cloth with that of Chloe…" Nessa uttered politely.The lady sitting opposite her didn't make a move nor did she say a word. For over fifteen seconds, Lilian didn't take a glance at her.Vanessa tried touching her."Get your filthy hands off me. How can I help you by the way? Do I have any business with you?" Lilian yelled with her eyes widened.Nessa swallowed deeply, her voice was so high that anyone outside would hear her."We aren't quarreling Lilian. You have to believe me, I don't know anything about the money in Xavier's pocket. How do you expect me to

Xavier stepped back to the bed, he couldn't get it at all, and Lilian tells him when to leave. Meanwhile, she was still asleep when he got ready for work, Tracy prepared his breakfast even when his so-called fiancee was with him in the same building."What is it again Lilian, for goodness sake stop testing my patience." He yelled at her.She bit her lips and caressed her hair, it felt really good seeing Xavier irritated. Besides, he left the babysitter last night, and she got sad. This is his punishment for making her feel bad."Xavier, you are not leaving here if only if you accede to sack that lady, trust me to do that myself if you aren't showing concern towards my feelings." Lilian narrated.He stepped backward grabbing the sentence she just made. "No one told you?"She lifted her face staring at his fact, precisely, she was waiting so he would complete the statement."Uh-huh? I'm listening…"He snorted and shook his head. "No one told you that laws aren't to be taken by you? You

***********Xavier arrived home to get Tracy and Ben seated at the veranda, they both had that rigid expression on their faces revealing that they aren't feeling okay.He walked towards them."Hi kids, why are you all seated here? Hope all is well, and where is Chloe?" He asked them.Tracy got on her feet and took the briefcase from him. "We aren't fine Dad, and Chloe left her babysitter since she came back from school."He glanced at Ben who wasn't saying a single word, he only stared at the floor."Ben, you aren't gonna welcome Dad today?" He referred to his son.He lifted his face to him, twisting it the more. "Not until you kick that lady out of this house.""Why? What happened? Did it offend you?" He threw multiple questions at them all at a time.Tracy got seated again. "Yes dad, she offended us. Your so-called fiance ate the whole food but couldn't prepare any for our return.""You mean, you all have been starving since you returned from school including Chloe?" His eyes widen
