?Chapter 06?
Julia’s Pov:
I was shocked to see Mr Ryan holding me….
Betty stared at him in annoyance.
She was burning up in so much anger.
Mr Ryan quickly dropped me and I landed my butt on the hard floor.
?..
I thought he was gonna help me up…
I thought he was being a gentleman?
“You almost broke my eyeglasses on the ground” He said and picked it up.
Actually he caught me because he was saving his glasses.
He doesn’t want me to ruin in it.
Tears welled down my chubby cheeks…. ?
My foot was all hurting cos of the pieces of broken mirror.
“You wretch! Get out of my sight this minute” Betty shouted at me as I managed myself up.
Mr Ryan was quite busy with his cellphone.
I was bleeding profusely but he didn’t even give a d@mn about it.
He sat on the bed still on the phone.
I managed to leave the room with my hurting foot.
I walked into Ella’s room to get the first aid box there.
“Aunt Julia” Ella said still lying on the bed.
I was startled!
I thought she was asleep.
“Oh baby! Are you still awake?” I asked
“Am sorry for screaming at you aunt!” She said
“It’s okay honey!” I said
“Why is there blood?” She asked in fear.
“I got into an accident” I said as I applied the mentholated spirit to the wound.
She quickly hugged me tightly.
Poor girl! She’s so alone….
I hugged her too.
“Okay baby you have to sleep now” I said but she shook her head in disagreement.
“Please sleep beside me nanny” She pleaded
“Uh…i can’t baby! Daddy will be mad at me if I do” I said
“Please nanny!” She begged as I lay close to her.
And we drifted to sleep.
Ryan’s Pov:
I rolled from one side of the bed to another.
I couldn’t sleep….
I kept thinking about what the nanny said to me earlier.
Thoughts of Joanna flushed back into my memories.
We were so happy until the fire accident happened.
She was roasted by the fire…
It was so painful because we had a lot of good times together.
22nd of November….
Three years ago…
And today is actually the date.
That was when she died…
Her death was almost unbearable and I almost took my very own life if not for the fact that I know Ella had no other than me.
I had to be strong for my daughter.
For our daughter actually.
Before she came into my life I mean Betty.
Though I never regarded the relationship but I know it’s quite important to her.
My main priority is my daughter and no-one else.
I got up from the bed and yanked the duvet off my body.
I walked out of the room and straight to Ella’s room.
I turned on her table lamp and gasped.
“Miss Julia!” I screamed in annoyance.
She quickly je.rked up from the bed.
“What are you doing here?” I asked anxiously.
She rubbed her eyes.
“Am sorry sir! She wanted me to sleep beside her and….” she stammered
“Get out of here now” I yelled at her as she rushed out of the room.
What the…..
Why would she sleep close to my daughter?
I quickly covered my princess with a duvet and kssed her.
She’s so much like her momma and she’s her replica.
**
I walked downstairs still gnashing my teeth in annoyance.
I was filled with agony.
The fact that tonight made it three years of my dear wife’s death.
I walked to the wine bar and brought out two bottles of whiskey.
I gulped the drink through the bottle.
I didn’t care…
I emptied the two bottles and reached for another.
I kept drinking and drinking until I became dead drunk.
I belched loudly and reeked of alcohol.
But I didn’t stop drinking.
Julia’s Pov:
I walked downstairs to get myself a cup of water.
I was about to walk past the dark sitting room when I suddenly heard a noise.
Like a bottle fell on the ground.
I quickly turned on the sitting room light.
To my greatest surprise I saw Mr Ryan staggering.
I tried to help him up but we fell on the ground.
Our l!ps drew cl0ser ?…..
