“Summon all the male workers in the house to the living room now, everyone needs to be questioned” Harold said.
“Okay Mr Harold” Alex said.
“Including you Alex” Harold said, shocking Alex to the bone.
He feels so bad that Harold doesn’t seem to trust him anymore! And that’s gonna make things more difficult cause obviously he’ll start questioning his every move.
And he had told Ethan to change the plan but Carrle had insisted on taking Irene out of the way first cause she’s being a pain in her ass.
Damien had entered instead of her and he wouldn’t have mind to kill him alongside Irene but the boy had been smart enough to run out.
Now it seems Harold lost his trust in him already and obviously Ethan is gonna be mad at him for the plan failure.

Arrrgh!

*

Harold finished addressing the male workers and they all left.
Ivory and Damien went to bed already.

“Do you think the person will come to you?” Irene asked.
Harold had told the workers of the incidence and the perpetrator being in the house, he had threatened the anonymous perpetrator to come to him before he involves the cops.
“I don’t know” Harold sighed.
“And involving the cops… everything will be spilled to the press” Irene said.
“Exactly! And i hate being in the news. It really sucks! ” Harold said.
“You don’t have to involve the cops ”
“Your life is at stake here” Harold said.
“And your reputation is as well…if it gets to the news that your daughter’s nanny almost got killed by..by an anonymous person who obviously stays in this house,it’s gonna soil your reputation and not only that, but also affect your businesses all over the world ”
“It’s not like loosing business partners would affect me….” Harold shrugged.
He has enough money to last him for his lifetime without even working anymore.

“I know but i won’t be the reason for that. Let’s just let it go. I’m sure whoever it is would have seen the handwriting on the wall and won’t try such again” Irene said.
“You always want to let go of everything, it’ll be selfish of me to protect my own business while putting your life at stake” Harold said.
“Mr Harold, involving the cops might truly soil your reputation,I’m going to start protecting Irene from now, the incidence won’t repeat itself anymore. I promise” Tom said and Harold sighed deeply.
“It’s still hard to believe someone’s after your life in this house…” Harold said.
“It’s all so confusing, I’m scared out of my wits” Irene said.
“Of course you should be. Im so sorry you’re in this mess”
“No, you shouldn’t be please. Going through all these is not even enough to pay you for all you’ve done for me”

“I

don’t want you to feel okay with everything that happens to you in this house just because you feel indebted to me okay?” Harold said.
Irene nodded.
“Go meet Marie to show you to your room and i made sure it’s opposite Irene’s. Have you gotten your luggages?” Harold asked.
“No Mr Harold, i will after i check out my room” Tom said.
“Ohh… okay” Harold said.
“Have you heard from Doc Fern?” Irene asked.
“No, he hasn’t called and i called him,he’s not picking up neither is he replying to my messages”
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“He.. might be busy but isn’t mum’s legs surgery…”
“Exactly why i wanted to hear from him, i just hope everything’s fine” Harold said.
“Me too” Irene said.

“Let’s
go to sleep, I’ll’ll try to contact him in the morning,I’m sure he would have solved whatever issue it is and be rest assured,you’ll be fine okay?” Harold said and Irene nodded.

_?

“Let’s get you dressed for school Ivory” Irene said to Ivory who was reluctant.
“What’s wrong?” Irene asked knowing Ivory isn’t a kid who doesn’t like going to school.
She would have been in the bathroom by the time she comes into her room.
“What’s going on? Why are there bodyguards suddenly at our door, why?” Ivory asked.
“I just felt we have to strengthen our security ” Harold walked in before Irene could answer and she sighed in relief.
“Good morning Dad” Ivory walked up to him.
“Good morning princess” He bent to kiss her forehead.
“Good morning…” Irene said.
“Good morning Irene” Harold smiled.
“Dad, Why do you feel we have to strengthen our security? Did anything happen?” Ivory asked.
“Nothing, believe me princess” Harold said.
“Okay Dad”
“Go get ready for school,time is running fast” Harold said.
“Im pissed at Ally and grandma” Ivory frowned.
“Why?”
“They postponed their visit again!” Ivory said.
“Really?” Harold asked.
“Yeah, Nola told me that yesternight. They keep postponing their visit and my birthday is in few days” Ivory groaned.
“Ohh…they might be here before your birthday, you know Ally won’t miss your birthday for anything”
“But i…”
“Let’s continue this after you’re back from school, you’re running late already” Harold said.
“Okay Dad” Ivory said and walked into the bathroom.

“How
was your night? I hope you had a sound sleep?” Harold asked Irene.
“Yeah, i tried as much as possible not to allow the incidence affect my sleep and knowing Tom is right at my door gave me more relief”
“I’m glad you slept well, i want you to make sure your day goes well too okay?”
“I even have lots of work to do, i won’t have the time to think of anything Have you contacted Doc Fern yet?”
“He’s still not picking up” Harold said and Irene sighed .
“Is there any way we can contact Sunil and Shreedah?” Irene asked worriedly .
“No,be rest assured. I’m sure everything is fine.”
“I’m sure everything isn’t. I just hope Mum is fine”
“I’m going to keep trying to reach Doc Fern, it might be poor service or something, you know India is so far away” Harold said.

“I should bring out Ivory’s school wears” Irene said when she heard the shower stopped running.
She moved to Ivory’s wardrobe.
“Okay,im going to dress up for work”
“Bye, have a nice day” Irene said.
“You too”
_?

“So..this is how it feels to have bodyguards” Irene smiled.
“I must admit Mr Harold really likes you” Tom said.

They were both seated in her workshop while the two other bodyguards offered to stand by the door.

“I must admit the feeling is mutual, i like Harold too” Irene said.
“I knew it!” Tom laughed.
“What? Is it that obvious?” Irene asked, stopping in the middle of her sewing.
“It is. It is all written all over your face” Tom said.
“Really?”
“Of course but its all good, i know the type of lady you are, you’re the best lady Mr Harold ever felt attracted to. You’re loved by so many people in this house except people who are envious of you”

“Geez! You just flattered me” Irene laughed.
“No, it’s just some real facts” Tom said.
“Where’s Eric?” Irene asked.
“In the quarters ”
“Don’t you think he’ll be feeling lonely?”
“No, probably sleeping” Tom said.
“He’s a sleep freak” Irene laughed.
“Yeah yeah”

“Hi guys, come in. You’re not meant to stand ” Irene said.
“Please don’t refuse this time” She quickly added before they could turn down her offer.
They’ve been standing and she feels so uncomfortable with it.
“Come in guys,sit” Tom said to them and they finally walked in and got seated.
“There’s no rule that says you mustn’t sit right?” Irene asked.
“Yeah”
“Then why must you always stand? Your legs doesn’t ache?” Irene asked.
“We’ve gotten used to it. Have i ever told you the story of when i was a bodyguard for a president?”
“Really? No” Irene said, turning to Tom eagerly .

Two days later?

“You mean he said we should start coming to his hospital now?” Irene asked Harold for the third time.
“Yeah, Doc Fern just called me now and told me that”
“They’re in San Francisco already?” Damien asked.
“How’s mum? Was her legs surgery successful?”
“He didn’t tell me anything, he only want us to come to his hospital now” Harold said.

“That mean mum’s second surgery was not successful” Irene said sadly.
“I’m glad the most important one was successful, she won’t have to live with the fear of dieing soon anymore, and we aren’t tired of pushing her wheelchair,are we?”
“No”
“Mum is alive, that’s the biggest grace,any other thing will be tend to later. Let’s go, i can’t wait to see her” Damien said.

Harold smiled, intrigued by Damien’s words.
He knows for sure that Damien is going places and he’s gonna help him as much as he can.
????

“We’ve been trying to reach you for the past few days but you weren’t responding, only to call us suddenly and summon us to the hospital” Irene said,after they walked into the hospital reception and saw Doc Fern.

“Good day to you all” Doc Fern said keeping a straight face.
“Where’s mum? ” Damien asked.
“Was the surgery successful?” Harold asked.
“I guess you’ll have to see for yourself” Doc Fern said.
“Go bring Mrs Neave” He said to a nurse who quickly went to carry out his order.

“Well..i guess she’s on her wheelchair but why can’t we go to see her?” Irene asked.
“What’s going on Fer?” Harold was asking when he saw Mrs Neave…

Walking… on her feet with smiles, right beside the nurse.

Surprise was all written over their faces as she approached them.

“Mummy!!” Damien was the first to snap out of the shock.
He ran right into her arms..

“Mummy!!” Damien was the first to snap out of the shock.
He ran right into her arms..

Irene followed and Harold just stood, smiling happily.

Damn!
This is so great.

Their embrace was so touching and he wouldn’t like to interrupt them.
“It must have been so long they saw their mum on her feet” Doc Fern smiled.
“Of course, I’m so happy but hey,you could have simply picked our calls or reply our messages, we were worried, i was extra worried thinking something had gone wrong” Harold said to Fern.
“I thought a little surprise will help” Fern chuckled.
“It did…it really did” Harold smiled.
“And i shouldn’t forget. Doc Sunil and Shreedah sent their greetings” Doc Fern said.
“Ohh…great” Harold smiled.
“Did you inform the cops about their kidnap yet?” Doc Fern asked.
“No”
“Why? You should”
“We can’t, Shreedah’s daughter life is at stake here, they’ll go after her if we dare go to the cops and i definitely don’t want that. She can’t loose her child just because we want justice.”
“Oh…Damn! Those badass will surely get meet their match soon” Doc Fern said.
“I hope so too”

“Seems they are done” Fern said and Harold walked up to them.
“Good day Mrs Neave” Harold said bowing a bit.
He adjusted his face cap as he raised his head.
“Thank you so much” Was the first word Mrs Neave said to him before pulling him into a hug.
“It’s fine” Harold smiled.
“I wouldn’t be on my feet if not for you,i won’t have to live with the sadness of dieing anytime soon anymore. Thank you so much Mr Harold” Mrs Neave said,still embracing him.
“I’m glad you’re fine now, I’m so happy to see you back on your feet looking as energetic as ever” Harold smiled.
“All thanks to you” Mrs Neave smiled too as she released him from her embrace.

“Enough of the ‘thank you’ ma’am” Harold said.
“I have to thank you cause im so grateful, you did more than enough to ensure my health is back to normal. We may not have enough to pay you back but i promise we’ll do every little thing we can to make you happy too”
“Yes” Irene said.
“We’re really grateful” Damien said.

“It’s being so long i saw you looking this fit, you look great Mum” Irene smiled.
“I feel great also” Mrs Neave smiled.
“You saw lots of Indians right?” Damien asked.
“Lots of them, i would have loved to go on a tour but i couldn’t wait to see you guys”
“Doc Fern had all us worried, we never knew he was cooking up something delicious” Irene said.
“You can now call me world best surprise planner” Doc Fern said and they laughed.

“So,we can go home with her now right?” Damien asked.
“No, she’s gonna be in the hospital for some days to complete her treatment” Doc Fern said.
“Really?” Damien asked.
“Yeah”
“That’s better then, it’s gonna give me more time for the apartment hunting”
“Apartment hunting?” Mrs Neave asked.
“Yeah, we won’t be staying in that apartment anymore, we’ll be getting a better and safer apartment” Damien grinned and anyone would think he’s the one going to pay for the apartment.

“Let’s go to your ward to continue our discussion, i don’t want cameras on Harold anytime soon” Irene said.
“Ohh…yeah”

_??

“This is better and wider!” Damien said to Irene as they both checked pictures of apartment put up for sale on her phone”

They were back home after spending much time their mum.
Ivory and Nola will be going with them tomorrow to check on Mrs Neave.

“Didn’t you see the price?” Irene asked.
“Ohh” Damien raised his brow.
“Let’s continue searching” Damien said and they did.

“This is so tiring!” Damien laid on Irene’s bed.
They were yet to find an apartment they can afford.
“Are you okay Miss Irene?” One of her bodyguards asked through the door.
“Yes i am” Irene shouted and Damien laughed.
“Your bodyguards are so funny” He said.
“Sometimes i do forget i even have bodyguards, i feel so uncomfortable with them” Irene sighed.
“That’s because you’re not used to having them around” Damien said.

“Wow! Come check this apartment Dam” Irene smiled.
“Great! We finally found a perfect one with a perfect price”
“And the location is not so far from here, we’re gonna go check it out tomorrow after leaving the hospital”
“And then we move in when?” Damien asked.
“Let’s go check it out first” Irene said.
“I’m so gonna miss this place” Damien said sadly.
“Man! We haven’t even paid for the new apartment yet” Irene rolled her eyes.
“I know right” Damien laughed.

“May i come in?” Harold asked through the door.
“Yes” Irene said.

He walked in and closed the door behind him.
“What’s up?” He asked, settling on the chair.
“We found an apartment” Damien said.
“Yeah and we’ll be checking it out tomorrow” Irene said.
“Ohh…great, i hope the price isn’t too high?”
“It isn’t and even if it is, i can afford it. Im a wealthy woman yunno” Irene said dramatically and they laughed.
“The price isn’t too high, it’s affordable” Irene smiled.
“Ohh..okay” Harold said.

“Damien,how would it feel to resume Ivy Royals high school on Monday?” Harold asked.
“Huh?” Damien asked,sure he had heard wrong.
“What!” Irene exclaimed under her breath.

Ivy Royals?
One of the top schools in San Francisco?
He has only seen the school’s picture once and he had skipped after seeing the manificence and the wealth lavished on it, he knew he wouldn’t even dare dream being a cleaner in the school not to talk of being a student.
The grandeur is so different from every school’s.
They always come first in every freaking thing.
It was also said that their teachers all graduated from the best universities across the states with the highest GPS.
Ivy Royals is a school of the rich, it’s not even affordable for middle class,not to mention the poor.
Their school fees isn’t revealed to the public but it is said that they do pay huge amount of money.
“I..i don’t un.. understand” Damien stammered.
“Well…ive wanted to change your school since the first time we discussed but i felt it’d be better if your mum survives first and I’m glad she did. I’m sorry i didn’t informed you beforehand but you’ll be resuming Ivy Royals high school on Monday as a student, your school wears will be delivered to you today” Harold said and Damien was left dumbfounded.

He held Irene who was also speechless from the piece of news to keep him stable.

“Mr Harold…” Damien said tearily before hugging him tight.
“I..i…” Damien was saying.
“You don’t have to say anything Damien” Harold smiled, knowing he can’t find the right words to say.
He’s being so emotional right now and he perfectly understands.
“I’m so grateful” Damien sniffed back tears.
“But..wait…I’ll be resuming Ivy Royals?” Damien asked waiting for the last confirmation.
“Yes” Harold nodded and Damien’s scream of excitement echoed through the whole building .

?Next Day?

“You’ll be resuming Ivy Royals high school tomorrow? Mrs Neave asked in disbelief.
“Yes Mum” Damien smiled.
“My school wears has been delivered already” He added .

Ivory and Nola left just now and Irene walked them to the car.
Ivory agreed to leave after Mrs Neave promised to knit more beautiful sweaters for her.
She’s going to make for Nola too.
They all enjoyed one another’s company and they chatted like families.
“The school of the rich…how?” Mrs Neave asked in surprise.
“Mr Harold is going to be sponsoring me” Damien said.
“Oh..my! Wow! I really need to thank him, why isn’t he here today though?”
“I think he has an urgent meeting to attend. I didn’t sleep a wink last night, i was up checking more informations about the school online and I’m so amazed, i still can’t believe I’ll step into that…school tomorrow” Harold sighed happily.
“You’re sure gonna miss your friends”
“Friends? You know i don’t have a friend in my present school, the guys don’t ever want to talk to me cause i can have their girls with just a wink and of course because of my brains” Damien said with pride.

“You don’t ever stop talking about girls” Mrs Neave dragged his cheek painfully.
“Ouch.. Mum!” He pouted, rubbing his cheek.
Mrs Neave laughed.. “I’m sorry about that”
“Your apology isn’t accepted” Damien frowned.
“I guess you need more cheek dragging then..”
“No…no” Damien stood up from her bed and walked to the chair.

Mrs Neave laughed heartily “Com’on”.

“So..how are you gonna cope there? You know it’s far different from your present school” She said.
“I know but trust me I’m gonna cope” Damien said.
“I know you will”
“You need to see the activities performed in that school, their garden..” Damien was saying.

“Enough of the school talk already Mr Ivy Royals” Irene said walking into the ward.
“Have you told mum we’ve found an apartment ?” She asked.
“Really?”
“Yes Mum, we’ll be going to check it out after we leave here” Irene said.
“Ohh… okay. And i must say you stay with amazing people, they are as nice as Harold”
“Yes! They are” Irene smiled.
“I would never have believed if i was told I’ll ever meet Harold Marshall. Everything happened so fast” Damien said.
“Yes, so fast” Mrs Neave agreed.
“And i wouldn’t have believed if i was told I’ll attend Ivy Royals high school” Damien grinned.
“Arrrgh!” Irene sighed.
**

“We shouldn’t take long in checking out the apartment, i need to go get ready for SCHOOL tomorrow” Damien smiled.
“Geez!” Irene groaned and he laughed.
