Billionaire’s

Chapter 7

I was at a loss for words as the woman approached me.

Gladly, Achilles said at that moment, “Cassa, didn’t Sir tell you?”

“What should Vinny

may have to

told me?” she asked, turning to Achilles. “Who is this woman!”

“When did you return!” Achilles asked, closing the compartment.

“Just a while ago, so I came here to see Vinny, but as usual, he’s early at the company,” she pointed a finger at me, looking at Achilles. “A new maid? Why did you take her!”

Do I look like a maid! I thought to myself. The way she said it made it seem like a lowly profession

“Talk to Sir: he’ll explain everything.” Achilles replied.

“Are you serious, Achilles?” she raised her voice slightly, showing disbelief in her reaction. “Why not tell me, since you’re here?”

“It wasn’t my instruction,” Achilles answered, growing visibly irritated with the woman.

“Stop acting and just tell me!” the woman insisted

I couldn’t help notice Achilles‘ reaction, he was smirking, the woman seemed to be losing her composure.

“You’re as annoying as always, Achilles, I’m waiting the woman said, crossing her arms.

I would like to speak, but the woman didn’t ask me anything. Two maids approached and took my luggage. A lady of about my mother’s age came

up to me.

“Ma’am Damet, the mayordoma will bring you to your room, and she will take care of you,” Achilles said. “Let’s talk inside the car, Cassa

“Ma’am, let’s go” said the Mayordoma, and I followed her.

The lady glanced at me before getting into the front seat.

“Please Fr

forgive Miss Causs, she doesn’t know about you,” the mayordoma said as we ascended a grand staircase. I was in awe of the beauty inside.

“It’s okay, I understand,” I replied with a smile. “Is she related to Sir?

“Miss Cassa is Sir’s younger sister. Here is your room, Ma’am. Your lunch is ready, the mayordoma said.

“Oh, I see. Thank you… I trailed off I wasn’t sure i

was appropriate to address her as Ma’am.

“You can call me Elle, she quickly said with a smile. It reminded me of my mother. How I miss my Mama’s smile.

Thank you, Elle, for escorting me”

“You’re welcome, Ma’am, we’re just doing our job, Elle said shyly. “If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.” “Alright, Elle,” 1 said and opened the door.

I

“Alright, Ma’am. Don’t forget that lunch is ready,” she reminded me.

“Tim still full, Elle,” I replied, as I wanted to rest and reflect on what happened at the hospital earlier.

“Oh, Ma’am, Sir might scold us if you don’t eat on tin

cat on time.” She said in a worried tone.

I felt guilty i

that because of me, shell

get scolded.

“Alright, Ma’am. If you need anything you can press the call button on the nightstand, she replied.

“Thank you, I will do that if I need something” Lald.

She left as I entered the large room, as big as my old apartment. It had a queen–size bed that matched the pale red walls and curtains. My luggage was already at the foot of the bed,

I was about to sit on the board when there wa

was a knock on the door. I wonder who that could be, maybe the womani,

Chapter 7

I opened the door and saw a maid.

“Hello, Ma’am, I’m Dayna, your personal maid, she said, looking about eighteen, just a few years younger than me.

“Hello. Do you need anything, Dayna?” I asked. Why do I have a personal maid? I can handle things myself, and I don’t need anyone’s help.

“I take care of your belongings, Ma’am,” she replied with a full smile.

“Oh, I can manage that on my own. I don’t need anyone’s help, I refused her offer.

“That’s my job. Ma’am, as a personal maid,” she insisted.

“But I want to be the one doing it. I hope you’ll understand,” I explained. I really don’t want someone else doing a task I can handle. I’m not incapable.

“But Sir will scold me if I don’t do what I’m supposed to do, she explained, sighing. “This is my first job, Ma’am, and I don’t want to get fired for not doing what I should”

1 bit my lower lip: I understood her, but those items were for my personal use. It wasn’t part of my role as a baby maker for that man to accept a mad of my own. I would never get used to this.

I took a deep breath. “I understand. Why don’t you get me a book, something to read! There’s a library here, right?”

“Yes, Malam. I’ll get it right away,” she said happily and left.

I closed the door. I needed to do what she was supposed to do. I looked around but couldn’t think of any ideas.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. “She came back so quickly.”

Topened it, but it wasn’t the maid; it was Davin’s younger sibling.

“Are you busy?” She asked, her suspicious look from earlier gone, replaced by a smile on her lips,

It seems like we’re about the same age as the girl.

“Not really. Why?” What could be the reason she’s here! I can’t think of anything.

“It’s lunchtime; let’s eat together,” she replied, “I’m sorry about earlier. I didn’t expect it. But Achilles explained, and it cleared my

by mind”

“It’s okay, I understand,” I said with a smile that conveyed that what happened earlier didn’t bother me

That’s good that you understand. Come on, let’s eat together,” she said, and even though I wanted to decline. I didn’t want her to have a bad impression of me.

“Okay,” I replied as we exited the door,

We were walking down the hallway toward the stairs, Tm Cassa Del Aviro; you can call me Cass. I’m Vinny’s little sister.”

“Cassa is a beautiful name, I commented. “I’m Lilian Damer; you can call me Lili

“Thank you; my dad g

gave me that name. Lilian, you also have a beautiful name. Lily, like a lily flower?”

I shook my head and clarified. “It’s Lili, with an T at the end, not ‘y

“Oh, I sec. Okay, Lili, how did you decide to become Vinny’s surrogate?” she asked as we descended the stairs.

As I expected, that’s what she was going to ask, and it’s the reason I took such a crazy leap for me.

“I need my father to get out of prison…” I told Cassa the reason and how it happened. I was narrating while we were eating, and her attention was on

“Wow! That’s the reason why Cassa said with understanding in her tone, and I couldn’t help but smile.

“Yes. I want my family back together as it was meant to be,” I said and averted my gaze from her. “Are you still in college. Case I changed the topic of convenation.

Troy sure Vinny will have an adorable balw with you, she said with a smile.

In my mind, having a child was something I wasn’t quite ready for, but lite threw me into this situation.

I nodded

I can give you a tour of this house so you can become familiar with it i

cand know your way around”

“That would be great!” I was thinking that my personal mail might have already packed my belongings in the huggage. It seems I’ll be spending quite a long time on this tour, considering the immense size of this house,

After the tour. I lay down on the bed. Given the vastness and the number of rooms, it took us almost two hours to complete. But it was great talking with Casa especially about her career and her college days.

Fortunately. Dayna didn’t touch my things. When I reached my room, she was waiting outside. So I let her in and she helped me set up my art materials in an empty room within the bedroom. I really need to talk to Davin about the personal maid.

Did you do this, Miss Dayna asked, looking at my painting of two people dancing in the garden.

It was my parents. I was eleven when I watched then dancing and laughing as if they had a world of their own at that moment. It was the first time I truly understood what love means

“Yes, I was sixtee at that time. I replied, sitting on the marbled floor.

You are very

very talented, Miss. Look at this, did you paim this too? Wh

Who’s this wonian?” She pointed to the smiling portrait of a woman

“It’s my mother,” I said softly, just loud enough for her to hear. I stared at the smiling portrait, where I could see the light in her brown eyes and the happiness in her smile

Suddenly, the corners of my eyes warmed up. My phone beeped. A message from Steven: “I talked to your Dad about his case. He said he misses you and your mother so much”

I replied. “Thank you” to him, and suddenly tears welled up in my eyes. I stood up and excused myself to Dayna, saying I was just going to the comfort room. As I walked out, the door opened, and Davin and locked eyes.
