Chapter 14

Alessia
3:00AM
My life felt like a never-ending storm. Every day was a struggle, and every night felt darker than the last. It seemed like bad luck followed me everywhere, and I couldn't catch a break. All I wanted in my life was to get married, and be happy to build a family but it seems like life has other plans.
Every time I arrived there were only problems, I loved David with all my heart but I had already told myself that once his daughter woke up, me and Mandy were going to disappear from their lives forever. Maybe I and him were meant to meet but not to be...so I didn't want to keep causing problems despite the fact that his mother didn't love me at all, so it was better to go back to our misery life but at least we have happiness and freedom.
I was sitting on David's bed, I put Ariel's head on my lap, we were all waiting for the doctor. Everyone was in David's room while we were waiting for the doctor. Mr Maynard, he wasn't with us. I turned to David and said
"Can I please have one bandage and ice. I need to stop this bleeding now. The doctor is taking too long"
"Alessia are you a doctor? No right? So let's wait for the real doctor, I need my daughter to be treated not to add more pain"
Pinky: I agree with David, Alessia darling are you even educated to the extent of healing Ariel?"
David calm down, there's no need for you to shout ok! All you need to do is to trust me. Give me a bandage and ice, seems like her forehead hurts too bad, I want to stop the blood"
Pinky: Oh Alessia, do you really think David is still trusting you, your niece Mandy did this after all?
Alessia: Pinky please go and take care of your face, you're ugly and also I think you should go to the gym, it's a pity for a woman like you to not have hips and body structure! How sad"
Bruno: Holy hell hahahaha
David: Oh hahahaha girls' fight neh? Keep on fighting girls it's fun"
Pinky: Alessia I hate you so much" she shouted and left. I looked at David and yelled
"I'm not gonna ask you again, this is the last time I am asking you to bring me ice and bandage. Just because I'm not a doctor it doesn't mean that I can't help someone" I shouted, David left the room and brought the bandage and ice. He handed it to me and I bandaged Ariel's head and started applying ice. Everyone went to sleep, even Mandy I'm sure she had already fallen asleep, David and I are the only ones left with Ariel in his bedroom, Bruno his servant was standing at the door.
In no time David's phone started ringing,,, he picked it up
📱...Hello doctor what's wrong?
📱... Sir, there's too much traffic, we are stuck at the robot, I'll be there soon" the doctor said. The phone was on louder. Before he could answer I started to see Ariel opening her eyes, the name she called out was her father's
" Dad? Dad? Dad" David quickly disconnected the call when he saw his daughter opening her eyes and ran to kneel in front of me, Ariel was still putting her head on my lap
" Hey kiddo... Oh my goodness I was very worried about you. Very worried. Bruno go and wake everyone up, I want to ask my daughter who pushed her" He yelled, Bruno came out in no time we saw all the staff, Mrs Katie, Mr Maynard, Pinky all and Mandy had also been woken up. I glanced at Dav and said
Alessia: What matters is that the child has woken up. There was no need to wake the whole mansion up"
David: No one messes with my daughter, now Ariel princess tell me who pushed you?
Ariel: I don't really know dad, the lights were off. When I fell the last person I saw in my eyes was Mandy, but she didn't do it"
Pinky: See I told you Mandy did this"
Mr Maynard: Mandy is just a kid, she can't do that?
Alessia: Mandy is just a kid, don't drag my niece into this. She didn't do it"
Mandy: Yes, I wanted to help her because I heard her screaming that's all"
Mrs Katie: Only idiots can believe those little liars. So who pushed her because no one is admitting. I can never do that to my beautiful granddaughter.
David: Bruno go and check the cameras for me please" David said. Bruno rushed to check the cameras in no time he returned
"Mr David, all the cameras are turned off.
David: What? So what happened it's not Mandy's fault, it was done by an adult. How can a child like Mandy think to turn off the cameras. Does Mandy know the room for all the plugs" He asked and everyone remained silent. David called the doctor back telling him to go back, Ariel was getting better, they all left David's room going back to theirs, David carried his daughter, taking her to her room, it was almost morning time, When he returned he found me sitting on his bed, dozing off he came to where i was sitting, kneel in front of me and said
"Alessia you're the best doctor ever, thank you so much for healing my child. And I owe you an apology for what happened? I am so sorry."
"The pleasure is all mine Mr Billionaire. Can I now sleep?, I'm feeling very sleepy"
"Sure you can sleep, I need to go outside. I need fresh air. If you weren't sleeping you would have joined" said David as he left
David Maynard
I went outside, heading straight to the garden, I wanted to relax there. My thoughts were consumed by Alessia, and I couldn't deny the feelings growing stronger each day. Her beauty, intelligence, and charm captivated me, making it impossible to look away. As I entered the garden, a smile spread across my face, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to her. Every moment with her felt like a dream.
"David" I was shocked, I turned back and saw Bruno, I stopped smiling and gave Bruno a serious face
"Don't change your face, you were smiling alone Boss... Come and sit here" he whispered. I sat next to him, curious to hear what was on his mind
"Are you in love?"
"What are you talking about Bruno?"
"Uhmmm I see, you're in love. Listen she is beautiful, go and tell her that you love her, don't keep on smiling alone. Did you notice how she is taking care of your daughter?? Trust me she can be a better mom for her" Bruno whispered. I was a little bit surprised why Bruno was talking about stories like these with me, of course he was my worker we always talk and share stories but we never talked about these kind of stories, I looked at him and said
"Yeah I agree, Alessia is caring and yeah that's why I'm into her so much, and I love her I have to admit it but I think this is not the right time to tell her?"
"I see, what about Ariel? Are you thinking the same thing as me?. I think this is all Pinky's fault? She wants you and Alessia to hate each other, I think you should chase her away. Look David, if this mansion was mine. I wouldn't tolerate such nonsense, so please act like a man and chase her away" said Bruno, and then I stood up and patted his shoulder and said
"I heard you. Please do me a favor, in the morning I want you to go and find me a secondary school with good education, with good teachers, when you find that school tell me the name of the Headmaster, and then find me the number of the Headmaster there too. Are we together?"
" Yes sir but Ariel is still a child? Who are you going to send to that school?" He asked,
"It's none of your business"
"Ohhh maybe it's Mandy... Wow this is great, can I use your red car? Please that one is my favorite, can I use it to go and find the school?"
"Sure, I think you should always use your favorite car, if I think straight you gonna own that car, I'll give it to you"
"Really? Wait, won't some workers complain saying you have a favor? Ummmmm that car should remain yours. I don't want to be poisoned here at the mansion and be hated by others, if you give me my pay I'll save so that I'll buy my own car" Bruno said. I nodded, then quickly left
Pinkie
I was sitting in my room in front of the mirror when Mrs Katie entered
"Pinky you pushed Ariel right?, Mandy she didn't do it, I was just saying it's Mandy but that girl she is innocent. If you are the one who pushed Ariel, then you should know your limits. Do you understand?
"What's wrong with you?. Of course I'm the one who pushed her, I thought we wanted the same. I wanted Alessia and Mandy to be thrown out, don't you want that too?" I said while rolling my eyes
"Shut up you spoiled brat! We want the same but leave my granddaughter alone. Don't hurt a child for your own benefit"
"Oh wait are you now insulting me, Because of Ariel? What about me? Am I not important?" Before she could answer me, we heard David's voice at the door
"What's going on here?"
