Julia’s Pov:
I heard my name screamed from afar.
I flinched in fear…
“Go on Julia… It’s Miss Betty!” Veronica said as I rushed upstairs.
And believe me, my heart was racing very fast.
What could I have done this time around?
I walked into the room quickly.
“Yes ma’am!” I answered with my head bowed.
She glared hard at me and I gulped nervously.
? What is it this time? ? I thought.
She stood up and walked around me with an air of authority.
She looked very much upset.
“Tch! What were you discussing with Ryan this morning by the balcony?” She asked looking very serious.
I coughed slightly…
This lady should not kill me!
I don’t even know what to tell her….
I kept on opening and closing my mouth as I ended up not uttering a single speech.
“I said what were you discussing with Ryan this morning by the balcony?” She asked again more furious.
“It… It was about… about… Eerr…. Ella! He said that I… I.. Should take good care of his daughter” I lied stammering.
She burst into laughter before frowning.
“What do you take me for? No! What do I look like in your mind? Hmm… So you think am a dullard right?” She snorted
“But ma’am that’s what he…” I said
“Shut the fk up you big fat liar! You have no single truth in you… I heard everything and I also heard what Ella said at the dinning” She yelled.
My heart skipped a beat….
I couldn’t even talk.
“You cheap sl.ut from the sl.ums… You se.duced my fiance to kss you last night” She screamed at me.
“Ma’am I didn’t do anything! I never se.duced Mr Ryan… Actually we didn’t kss” I cried
“You didn’t kss? Oh really? I thought you said he only told you to take care of his daughter Ella? And now you are finally admitting that you also talked about something else… How do you want me to believe a liar like you?” She said as she landed a d!rty sl@p on my cheeks.
My ear rang ?
Tears kept saying down my face.
As I knelt in front of her.
“Am innocent of what you are accusing me” I pleaded
“Keep quiet! What do you take me for? So you think I can share what is rightfully mine with some piece of trash like you? You are such a useless girl!” She said as she picked up the mob and flog me with it.
“Please forgive me ma’am! I didn’t se.duce him” I kept crying but she didn’t care.
I wanted to retaliate but I thought of losing my job and I withdrew.
I still need the money for my sister’s treatment.
She needs to be free from leukemia!
So I had to tolerate it.
She pushed me out of the room and I feel on the stairs.
I was bruised and swollen.
Is this what I have to go through?
Just because of money? ?
**
Veronica applied some balm on my red swollen body and I screamed in pain.
My whole body was hurting and aching me.
I was still enduring the pain when she barged into the kitchen.
“Hey! Veronica… I’d like you to make chicken sauce and rice for lunch” She said giving me a disdainful stare.
“OK ma’am!” Veronica said
“And go back to work! You are not a nurse for anybody” She said wickedly.
I feel like tearing her apart but I held myself back.
She turned to leave but turned around again.
“And there will be no food for Ella’s nanny this afternoon” She said.
“But ma’am…” Veronica said
“Do exactly as I said unless your job is not important to you anymore” She said with a finality tone.
I wasn’t surprised….
I only sighed and looked away.
As she swayed her h!ps out of the kitchen.
I managed to walk upstairs and laid on my bed with my weak body.
And gradually, I developed fever… ?
Ella’s Pov:
The driver drove into the mansion and I jumped down from the car.
I rushed into the house.
You don’t know how excited I am…..
My dear nanny aunt Julia is making chocolate cupcakes for me…
Yummy! ?
I ran straight into the kitchen.
I saw aunt Veronica and Miss Gutierrez the maid but I didn’t see nanny Julia.
I became worried!
She’s always in the kitchen but why is it different today?
“Good afternoon aunties!” I greeted as they smiled and pecked me.
“Sweetheart! Here you aunt Julia made this for you” Veronica said as she handed the cupcake to me.
My mouth watered as I used my finger to dip into it and licked the finger.
“Yummy!” I smiled broadly
“Am sure it is… Julia made it with love for you” Miss Gutierrez said and I giggled.
“By the way, where’s my nanny?” I asked anxiously.
They stared at each other and scratched their hair looking sad.
“What’s with the face? Where’s my aunt Julia?” I asked more anxious this time.
“She was beaten up and starved by your aunt Betty” They said lowering their voices.
“What?” I asked in shock as the cupcakes fell on the ground and I rushed upstairs.
I quickly opened the door.
I saw my aunt Julia shivering on the bed.
Tears dropped down my face as I rushed to her….
