Narrator’s POV—
When Arian reached the villa, it was nearly five and he immediately started pushing Anna and Grace!
“Call Daddy! Call Daddy!” Arian was adamant on his point.
“We will. But first let us have some ice cream and play a little!” Anna tried to distract Arian but the little boy won’t listen! Unable to stop him from crying, Anna sighed and dialled Adrian’s personal number from the landline but when the line got disconnected, she realised that Adrian didn’t want to receive the call. Her face turned pale. Arian watched Anna who was sitting beside him on the couch with the cordless in her hand. He thought that Daddy won’t talk to Anna but he would definitely talk to Arian if he called him Daddy! He also knew the redial button on the phones! He has seen his mother press that number many times while she won’t get through calls with Aunty Li or Papa Seb! While Anna was pondering on whether to dial again or not, Arian snatched the phone from
Narrator’s POV— The whole night Emily tossed and turned! She couldn’t sleep at all since her mind was full of worry! Ms Lopez clearly said that she has to reach office by 9 every day and work till six in the evening to make up for the lost time! The bus from her office arrives at six ten and reached at around seven. If any day she missed the six ten bus, the next bus would arrive at six forty and she would not reach before seven twenty or seven thirty! She had managed until now because of the kind man, but what will she do in the future? She doesn’t so much that she could hire a night nanny! After thinking for hours, Emily thought she would meet the man from the Villa and request him, if he can keep Arian for her! Maybe he likes Arian so much that he would agree? If not then she would have to put him in the crèche which would again cost a lot but would be cheaper than hiring another nanny! After an almost sleepless night, Emily woke up a bit ea
Narrator’s POV— “Hello Mr Fox, I am writing this letter to express my eternal gratitude for taking care of my son Arian! Due to recent work pressure, I often come home late and dropping him at the crèche is my last preference. I was running out of option when you and your housekeeper extended help and I really appreciate it. I came to thank you personally but unfortunately you already left for work. I made a chocolate cake for you. I am sure you must be habituated eating food made my skilled chefs but it is my way of thanking you. Kindly accept it. Also, I am ashamed to ask you for a favour but I am anyhow going to ask because I am really out of options at the moment. It would be a great help if Arian could spend sometime in the evening for next few weeks until I figure out another solution for him. Recently my work timing has extended till six in the evening and hence I need a place where Arian can spend an hour or so till I reach home. If he
Narrator’s POV— Adrian was still in the meeting but he was slightly distracted since he was enquiring about Arian’s performance. He would have gone and met the teachers personally but he had an important meeting with some other investors who would be investing in the similar projects of Entertainment park in other countries once the first one in Manhattan is successfully opened! After this he had a meeting with the Marketing team. The head of the department and even the director will be present to present on their progress on the new fashion line launch! The designers were given task to come up with several ideas. Adrian had known this vaguely. Two new suggestions on the fashion line have been chosen by his team. One was dresses for babies that were based on different cultures and traditions of different countries and it was kind of fusion and the other was dresses for special travels and tourism! Adrian liked the ideas and hence they were chosen for t
Narrator’s POV— Adrian’s face though gave away no emotions at all but within he was so stunned that he couldn’t just believe what he heard! All these months when he was desperately searching for his Emily, she was right under his nose?? Emily F Miller! Which clearly means Emily Ford Miller! Has to be her! Can it be so much of a coincidence?? No! Emily Ford Miller, Topper from William Ford Academy! She is one and only, his wife! “Sir? Please! I am requesting you to reconsider!” Jims pleaded when he saw a marginal softness in Adrian’s eyes! Adrian felt irritated! Though he still needed to confirm, yet Mr Jims too much concern for his wife was annoying! Why was he taking so much interest in her? Did they develop a special relation in past years?? Just then Adrian’s desk number rang. “Ms Lopez you may leave!” Adrian ordered and Selina smiled sarcastically at Jims and left! Jims sighed tiredly and stood up when Adrian receive
Narrator’s POV— Adrian’s mind started going crazy with the emotions he was feeling! He was happy, that he has a son and that too he most probably is the same boy who has been calling him Daddy! Maybe it is the attraction of blood that brought them so close! But then again he heard Emily say that his father and Emily are not together and her current partner is very supportive! Who is her current partner? Are they into a relationship? What kind of relationship? His blood suddenly started boiling thinking about another male touching what is his! In the office Peter thought he would ask more because the boss was curious about her family. He still doesn’t understand why his boss is taking so much interest in a woman which is unlike what he has seen! Yet, he cannot defy his boss! “Arian! He is your son Ms Emily?” Peter asked. “Yes. He is my son.” Emily replied with a smile. “Good. And your current partner…is he your husband?” Peter as
Narrator’s POV— Adrian had to suppress his anger temporarily. He knew he has offended and insulted Emily so much that if he tried to claim her now she would run away from him! And he is not ready to lose her again! He quickly showered and changed into his night suit! He would for now enjoy his time with his son! Adrian quickly walked downstairs when Anna came and spoke! “Sir, Arian’s mother has sent some cup-cakes and meatballs. Do you want me to heat them up and serve now?” Anna expected that her boss would again ask her to bring a little for Arian and take away the rest but to her surprise he said without looking at her, “Yes. Bring everything. I am hungry!” Anna was stunned! It has been almost four months that Arian’s mother has been sending different food cooked by her! At least four days in a week she sends something or the other but every time her boss asks her to give a little to Arian and take away the rest! What changed?? Anna
Narrator’s POV— Adrian was in a meeting with the marketing team and the special team formed by him. He wanted to form another team. He thought two teams would be better. One for monitoring the launch of the fashion line which was just before the Christmas and the other for the entertainment park, since it was also about to be opened by end of November, which was just another two months and one week away! Adrian decided that separate teams should focus on separate things and complete the works more efficiently! “What do you suggest Mr Henry?” Henry Wood looked at the CEO and cleared his throat when asked. “It is definitely the best Sir.” Henry replied gulping. Henry has been the general manager in the Company who has been retained by the new CEO but was always on edge when he had a meeting with the CEO! Two reasons; one that the young CEO was ruthless and two that the CEO didn’t bother to reward performers or fire if u
Narrator’s POV— Emily tossed and turned on bed. Her mind was full of assumptions and anticipation! She was left restless! Unable to take the tension any longer, she looked at her mobile again. It was ten at night! Definitely, decent people won’t disturb others at this time but Emily has to know if the school Mr Fox spoke about was owned by the Fords from Texas or not, and hence he after struggling to decide for a while, finally sent a text to Mr Fox! ‘Hi! I am sorry for texting this late, but I wanted to know more about this school Ford International. Who are the owners of the school?’ Emily kept staring at the screen as if her life depended on the owner! After what seemed like a few minutes, a text popped up. ‘Hello No need to feel sorry. I am usually awake working till mid-night. So if you need anything anytime please don’t hesitate to text. After all neighbours can help neighbours! And
