?Episode 12?
Ella’s Pov:
I kept struggling on the bed until I screamed and jumped up.
I was sweating profusely….
I kept panting as I got up from the bed.
It was a dream….
I looked around the room in fear as I turned on the light.
“What kind of a dream is this? Why would Betty want to kill me? She almost shot me…” I became visibly scared.
Just then, everywhere became dark…
There was a blackout.
I looked around in fear.
And my nanny is at the hospital….
I would have slept there with her but daddy refused.
Tears welled down my face.
I was visibly shaking and trembling in so much fear.
“Daddy! Daddy!!” I shouted as my voice echoed in the whole building.
I heard my door sound… It was thrown open.
I kept screaming in fear…
Who knows?
It might be that wicked aunt Betty, she might want to kill me in the dark.
Sweat kept gushing out of my body.
“Baby! What is it? Calm down baby!” That was daddy’s voice.
I breathed heavily in relief.
I felt a little bit safe.
“Daddy!” I cried as I hugged him tightly.
Immediately, the light came back.
And gradually, the fear disappeared.
Mr Ryan’s Pov:
I held my little princess so tight.
I bet she’s missing her nanny….
You all see me as a grumpy man but believe me, I know Ella likes Miss Robert.
And I know she’s her best friend.
“Come on baby! Go back to bed… It’s very late already” I said but she flinched.
“No daddy! I don’t wanna sleep here anymore… Please take me to your room” She cried.
??
“Oh no baby! You can’t sleep in my room… Aunt Betty won’t have a space” I said convincingly.
“What? Aunt Betty? Daddy if am going to sleep close to you then aunt Betty has to leave the room” She said as I gasped.
“Why?” I asked
“Because I don’t trust her… I had a terrible dream about her” She said.
I scratched my head in confusion.
I know my Ella very well, she will definitely not agree to sleep in her room.
I just wish Julia was here…
She could have slept with her in the room.
Ella clinged to me like a snail clings to its shell.
I really have no choice guys….
My hands are tied in this situation.
Actually I promised my late wife that I’ll take good care of our daughter no matter what.
I have to keep to that promise.
I carried Ella as I walked out of the room.
I entered my room with Ella on my body.
She’s just all over me all the time.
Especially now that her nanny is absent and has not been discharged.
Don’t say am heartless for leaving the nanny all alone in the hospital.
She’s there with Veronica one of the maids and her best friend.
“Excuse me Ryan what’s she doing here?” Betty whom I thought was fast asleep asked as she jerked up from the bed.
I gulped nervously….
Ella quickly got down from my body and gave her a long sigh.
“Isn’t it obvious Miss Betty? I want to sleep in my daddy’s room tonight? Anything wrong with it?” Ella asked giving her a mischievous smile.
Betty gnash her teeth in annoyance but she didn’t reply Ella.
She only turned to me.
“Ryan what is she doing here in our room?” Betty asked furiously.
I breathed heavily before answering.
“I know this is awkward but she just can’t sleep in her room tonight… She said she wants to sleep here with me” I said
Betty furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head in disappointment.
“What? We are going to sleep with Ella in our room just because she said she wants to?” Betty asked angrily.
“Did you just say “We”? Did I hear you say we are going to sleep with Ella? I guess you’re mistaken.. Cos I can’t share a room with you and the simple fact is that I can’t stay a minute with you therefore, you and I are never gonna sleep in the same room so you are just gonna pack up your pillow and go to guest room” Ella said rolling her eyes and I quickly covered her mouth with my palms.
“Shhh… Baby! She’s your aun…” I said but Ella cut me off.
“She’s your girlfriend and not my aunt! The only aunt I know of is my aunt Julia…. Miss Betty kindly use the door” Ella said to the amazement of everyone as she jumped on top of the bed happily.
Tears rushed down Betty’s eyes, she quickly picked up her pillow and blanket and stormed out of the room.
I tried to stop her but she shunned me.
“Betty please don’t…” I said
“Don’t you dare… I mean don’t you dare touch or go anywhere close to me” She screamed aloud and ran out of the room.
I tried to run after her but Ella gave out a loud scream.
“Daddy! Please don’t go… The monsters are coming to get me!” She cried with her face buried in the pillow.
I slowly walked back to her.
THE NEXT MORNING….
I walked out of the kitchen with a packet of oatmeal and a tin of milk.
Ella sat on the dinning looking really sad.
It’s unbelievable right? ?
Me of all people going into the kitchen to get oatmeal for Ella.
She has refused to eat everything the cook served.
She’s really stressing me out.
I brought out a plate and poured the oat meal into it.
I added the milk into the oatmeal and stared it.
“Yummy! I know you’re gonna love this” I smiled at her but she shook her head.
I quickly carried a spoon of the milky oatmeal to feed her but she shook her head in disagreement.
“I don’t want to eat that!” She said as tears rolled down her face.
I breathed heavily in depression.
“What the hell is wrong with you Ella? I’ve prepared almost everything but you’ve refused to eat, do you want to be late for school?” I asked anxiously
“I don’t want to school daddy” She cried
“And why not?” I asked almost shouting.
“I want to see my aunt Julia at the hospital” She cried
“What? You can’t do that this early morning… you have to go to school” I said
“I don’t want to” She wailed
“You can’t go to school on an empty stomach… I’ve prepared tea, cornflakes even oatmeal but you’ve refused to eat any of these” I said
“Am not hungry! I want aunt Julia’s special cupcakes” She cried.
I quickly ordered the cook to dish some chicken sauce and rice into her lunch box.
We walked out of the mansion and straight to the car.
We got to the school and she unwillingly followed the teacher into the class still crying.
She’s really too close to that nanny of hers.
5:00PM ?
I drove into the school compound that evening to pick Ella up.
Her teacher rushed to me with her eyes all swollen.
“Sir please have you seen Ella?” She asked
I became confused and scoffed.
“What are you saying Miss Cruz? I left her here in the morning” I said
“Sir actually… Uhm…” She stammered
“What? What are you saying?” I asked shaking her vigorously.
She was in tears…
“Actually Sir Ella is missing…” She said as the car keys fell from my hand and my jaw dropped in shock…..
