Chapter 10

The second floor contained beautiful and expensive looking home dresses. Different designers, perfect styles, classic look.

Disha had always wanted to own a very big and popular fashion store,her dream was to become a very famous fashionista whom both rich and the poor can afford,she wants to be on the list of famous designers but the dream shattered after she lost her parents.

To own her imaginable fashion store,she knows how much it's gonna cost her and she doesn't even have quarter of it. She only wants to focus on her stepmum's surgery and her brother schooling,that's all that matters to her now.

The third floor contained different sort of school wears, neatly ironed and perfectly organized.

"Disha, haven't you found my school bag?" Summer asked.

"Could i have left it in the library" she said to herself.

"I found it" Disha said, picking up the fancy school bag which had a doll ballerina on the front cover.

"Ohh" Summer smiled, glad she hadn't left it in the library.

Disha closed the wardrobe and walked to Summer with different thoughts running in her mind and she almost wished she was in Summer's shoes.

"So, I'd love to start from arithmetics" Summer said.

"Ohh... okay" Disha said, unzipping the school bag.

She placed all of Summer's notebook on her bedside stool and then started searching for arithmetics.

"I already called Mr Brian" Zack said to Killian who was on his way to see Sophia in the kitchen.

"Ohh, fine" Killian smiled at him.

Zack is his one of his best bodyguards, he has this diligent nature that Killian admire so much.

"You can go have a nice time, I'll be with Sophia in the kitchen" Killian said to Zack.

"Okay, Mr Killian" He said and left.

Sophia laughed hard in the kitchen after Killian sincerely told her the reason he had scared everyone in the dining room.

"You shouldn't have lied to her" She finally said after her laughter subsided.

"I didn't wanted to lie to her but she was questioning me and i couldn't find a better answer".

"If i may ask, why do you want her in your personal dining, you've never wanted any of Summer's past nannies in your dining room".

"Well...i don't know. I just wanted her there" Killian said and Sophia sighed.

She's starting to see something she hadn't seen in Killian for years .

"Why the sigh?" Killian asked.

"There's another thing i want to discuss with you" Sophia said.

"What?" Killian asked and sipped his wine.

"The amount you want to be paying her is extremely high!" Sophia said.

"She told you?" Killian asked.

"Well...she only asked if you pay your workers close to that amount. She knows that amount is outrageous and she couldn't keep it to herself" Sophia said.

"I want to help her" Killian said.

"You could have sent your company to do that" Sophia said...

"I..i want to help her personally" he explained further.

"Really? And how did you know she needs help?" Sophia asked.

"That's something i can't tell you now Sophia. Not now" Killian said.

"Okay, should i pour you more wine?" Sophia asked.

"No,I'll be going back to the living room now, come with me" Killian said.

"I'm fine here" Sophia said.

"C'mon Sophia, you stay in the kitchen all day like it's your room" Killian complained and Sophia laughed.

"It's my room" Sophia said.

"I wish you can just allow me employ another cook, you really need to rest after all these years. Please Sophia" Killian said.

He had tried to employ more cooks but Sophia always make them leave.

"Killian. I love what I'm doing and this is the only way im able repay the help you rendered me years back. Without you, i might still be in the streets struggling with my daughter but you gave us a good life" Sophia said.

"Sophia, I've told you severally to stop mentioning that. You're my aunt now, you're no longer the stranger i told my parents to help. You've repaid my help enough, please let me employ another cook. I'm not comfortable with the stress you go through everyday" .

"Cooking is no stress for me, i do enjoy it".

"Please Sophia" Killian pleaded.

"Okay, I'll think about it" Sophia said and Killian sighed, shaking his head.

they both know she won't.

Killian sighed " I'll be in the living room"

"Aren't you going with your wine?" Sophia asked after him.

"No" He answered.

Killian was passing by Summer's door to his to take a nap, he already spent enough time in the living room.

He stopped when his ear caught what Summer said.

"So now i've told you my dream is to become the most famous ballerina in the world and also have my ballet company. What's your own dream?" Summer asked and Killian shifted closer to the door.

He pressed his ear to the door when Disha finally spoke after a long silence.

"My dream is to bring back my parents fashion store,to make it bigger, famous and the best in the city. I also want to become one of the best designers in the country, i want my name to appear in the designers top list but i guess some dream can never be fulfilled." Disha said.

He knew.

He knew her dream and how he found out is best known to him.

"Why did you say that?" Summer asked.

" Let's go back to your revision" Disha said.

"But you've not answered my question" Summer said.

"I don't want to" Disha said.

"Okay" Summer drawled.

Killian left the door and quietly walked to his room.

"Please stay for dinner!" Summer said to Disha.

It's getting late and Disha had to leave.

She needs to pack and all. She hasn't even told Lucien and Mrs Smith that she'll be a live-in nanny and only come home on weekends.

"Summer, she needs to leave now. You know she wasn't aware that she'll be a live-in nanny, we just told her today, she isn't prepared and she also have to be here early tomorrow morning to prepare you for school" Killian said.

"Okay" Summer pouted.

"Starting from tomorrow, I'll be having dinner here okay?" Disha assured Summer who nodded.

"I really enjoy the time i spent with you" She said.

"Me too and I'm looking forward to the days we'll be spending together but i have to leave now" Disha smiled, picking her bag.

Disha bent to peck her but she suddenly remembered her rules.

*No pecks! Without my permission*

She quickly straightened up but what she had tried to do was obvious.

"You can peck me" Summer said, surprising her.

"Really?"

" Yes!"

Disha smiled and pecked her on both cheeks while Killian stood watching them.

Is the same person that never allowed her nannies to peck her?

But she allowed Disha on the first day!

Their bond surprised him.

They both got on their feet and Disha watched the fire once more while Killian put the book on the table back in it's place.

"Ready?" Killian asked.

"Of course" Disha yawned as they both walked out of the library.

Killian closed the door behind them and they headed to their rooms.

"Goodnight" Disha said on getting to her door.

"Night" Killian said and watched her walk into her room.

He checked on Summer before finally going to his room.

"Good morning" Summer heard from her sleep.

Disha had walked into her room through the adjoining door.

She frowned a little bit in her sleep, knowing the voice does not belong to her father.

He's the one who wakes her up..

She finally opened her eyes after fighting the thought of going back to sleep.

She saw Disha bringing out her school wears.

She placed her polished shoes next to it and then opened the drawer and brought out her body cream with her hair comb.

"Disha" Summer called with a sleepy voice.

"Ohh...you're finally awake" Disha said turning to her.

"Good morning to you" Disha greeted with a smile.

"Good morning" Summer said, sitting up on the bed.

The door opened and a maid walked in with a glass cup of water.

"Good morning" the maid greeted.

"Good morning" Disha and Summer chorused.

"Summer took the glass cup of water and gulped it down her throat, she placed the empty glass cup back on the tray and the maid left.

"Did you ordered for water in your sleep?" Disha asked curiously.

"Or your dad did for you?" Disha asked.

"No, the helps are aware i drink a glass cup of water every morning before even stepping down from my bed. It's healthy, you should start doing so too" Summer said.

"Ohh..okay, so how did they knew you were awake. Our voices weren't so loud" Disha wondered.

"My lights is on,you switched it on after you walked into my room" Summer said.

"Ohh..yes! I did" Disha smiled.

The door opened again..

"I already had wate.." Summer was saying but stopped when she saw it was her father.

"Daddy!" She smiled getting on her feet.

"Hey princess, good morning" Killian said and bent to pull his daughter into a hug,he kissed her forehead.

He hadn't noticed Disha's presence in the room.

"Good morning Dad,how was your night?" Summer asked.

"Awesome, i slept like baby" Killian said making Summer chuckle.

"But you came into my room late, Disha beat you to it today" Summer pouted.

"Really? Where's she?" Killian asked.

He had enjoyed the time he spent with her last night and he thought about her till he went to sleep.

He just like the fact that her personality is different and they share things in common.

Chatting with her had felt like he was chatting with a friend.

"She's right behind you" Summer giggled.

"Huh?" Killian asked, turning.

"Oh...my" He said obviously startled when he saw Disha truly standing behind him.

Disha laughed.

"How didn't i see you?" He asked.

"I guess you never thought you'll find me here,that's why your gaze was glued to Summer's bed when you walked in" Disha said.

"That's true, i was starting to wonder who brought out Summer's school wears" Killian said.

"Good morning Mr Killian" Disha greeted.

"Good morning, i hope you enjoyed your first night here" Killian asked.

"Totally, thank you so much" Disha smiled.

"I'm glad you did. I should be on my way now" Killian said glancing at his golden wristwatch.

Disha admired his simple yet classic dressing.

His golden eyes suited the golden buttons on his pure black shirt.

The sleeves were rolled to his elbows revealing his smooth caramel skin.

His styled hair really did a good job to his looks.

This man is incredibly good looking.

"Which of your companies are you going to?" Summer asked.

"Mikaelson communications" Killian said.

"Won't you have your breakfast?" Summer asked.

"I will when i get to the office"

"Okay, have a nice day Dad".

"You too. Bye" He waved walking to the door.

He held Disha's gaze for some seconds before finally stepping out.

*

"Bye Sophia" Killian called as he walked past the kitchen with two bodyguards behind him.

"Bye Killian, have a nice day" Sophia said loudly from the kitchen.

"You too, madam cook" Killian said and Sophia chuckled.

He walked outside and saw the car parked.

"I'm not going in this one, quickly make the black Lamborghini ready for me" He said and the driver nodded.

Disha led Summer to the dining room after she had finished dressing her up.

She handed her hair comb to Sophia while she quickly walked to her room to have a quick bath.

She dried her body after she was done and got into a white flowy skirt and yellow blouse.

She packed her hair into simple ponytail and then slide her feet into her footwear, she grabbed her phone and walked out of the room.

"I hope i didn't took long?" She asked getting to the dinning area.

"No, i just finished eating also" Summer said.

Sophia was combing her hair and she packed it into pigtails.

"Ready!" Summer said, grabbing her backpack.

"Bye Sophia" She waved.

"Bye girlie" Sophia said.

"I'll be right back" Disha said and Sophia nodded.

They both walked out of the door.

Tom and Eric were waiting already.

Disha almost exclaimed seeing a car different from yesterday's. It's in purple color too but totally another shade.

"You own this one too?" Disha asked.

"Yeah" Summer said.

"Wow!" Disha exclaimed aloud.

"Good morning Summer, Disha" Tom said opening the car door for the both of them.

"Good morning Tom" they chorused getting into the car.

"Good morning" Eric also greeted and they responded.

Tom got in and Eric started driving.

"You're different from Summer's past nannies" Tom said to Disha as they drove back home after dropping Summer in school.

"Really? How am i different?" Disha asked curiously.

Sophia had also mentioned it to her that she's different from Summer's past nannies .

"Firstly,most of them look like they have plans,like they have a mission " Tom said.

"How do you know they have plans, what if they just look that way without actually having anything in mind" Disha said.

"I don't know but i think I'm gifted in knowing when someone has a mission. I warned Mr Killian about Lizzy severally before he finally found out the devil she is." Tom said.

"Really?" Disha asked.

"Yes" Eric confirmed.

"Wow" Disha said, thinking about Alex.

Should she ask Tom what he thinks of the creepy man?

No. She resumed here two days again and asking what a worker think of another doesn't sound good to her ears.

She shouldn't be bringing this up.

The man might be harmless, it may just be her mind misleading her but her mind never mislead her.

"So what do you think about me?" Disha asked.

"It's obvious you're not here on a mission. I wouldn't have welcomed you if i thought bad of you"

"Wow, I'm relieved" Disha said dramatically and they laughed.

"I must say you're naturally beautiful" Eric said, glancing at Disha in the rear view mirror.

"That got me blushing, thank you" Disha smiled and they all fell silent again.

She was sitting with Tom in the back seat.

"So Eric, for how long have you been with Mr Killian? I know Tom has been with him for three years" Disha said.

"I've been with Mr Killian for five years and I've been Summer's driver for two years" Eric said.

"Woah,that's quite long" Disha said.

"Yeah, working with Mr Killian is so satisfying that i don't wish to leave anytime soon " Eric said.

"That's obvious, he's one of the few billionaires who treats his workers as family" Disha said.

"Everyone working under Mr Killian now have more than enough money to set up their life but still, no one wants to leave" Tom said.

"Including me" He added.

"Even if i resumed officially two days ago, i can tell the type of person he is" Disha said and couldn't hide her smile, remembering yesternight. It had felt like she was talking to a friend,not her employer.

"We're home" Eric said, driving into the open gate.

Disha sighed and picked her phone which was laying on her skirt.

Eric parked and Tom opened the car door and stepped out, Disha alighted after him.

"Nice talking to you guys, till tomorrow i guess" Disha said.

"No, if you're bored,you can come out and talk to us." Tom said.

"okay. Bye" Disha said walking to the door.

"Hey! I've never seen you so chatty. What's up?" Eric asked Tom and he smiled.

He can boldly say Disha is the only nanny he likes out of Summer's nannies.

She acts so different from others,so cool and responsible and she doesn't go about asking for how to seduce Mr Killian.

"I feel good about her, that's all" Tom shrugged.

"Really? You sure?" Eric teased.

"C'mon man! I have a fiancee" Tom said with pride.

"I know, i know. Just teasing" Eric said.

"I also feel good about her, i like the fact that she's so different from Lizzy" Eric said.

"Me too"

"I'll be back" Eric said starting the car, he started driving towards the garage while Tom walked to their quarters.

Disha placed dishes in the dishwasher after she was done eating her breakfast.

"Once you're done with that, I'll show you the rest of the building" Sophia said.

"Okay" Disha answered.

She missed Lucien so much, he had called her yesterday and she almost cried when he said he missed her already.

Even with how comfortable she feels here, she still can't wait to go home.

"I'm done Sophia" Disha said wiping her hands off a napkin.

"Okay dear" Sophia adjusted her apron as she stood up.

"You so much love staying in the kitchen, don't you?" Disha asked.

"I do.. i don't know when the kitchen became my best friend" Sophia said and Disha laughed.

They both walked out of the kitchen to continue their tour of the building.

The last place Sophia showed her was the pool and Disha had been tempted to swim but she didn't, even when Sophia told her that Killian have no problem with his workers in his pool.

The water looked so pure and fine.

"So, that's all" Sophia said.

"Really?" Disha asked, they just passed the door of a room and Disha expected Sophia to tell her whose room it was.

Though, It doesn't look like anyone is living there and the door looks so different from the ones in the house.

"Yes" Sophia said.

"What of that door?" Disha asked.

" That door? Just think of it like it doesn't exist" Sophia said.

"Why?" Disha asked curiously and Sophia sighed.

"All i know is it's a sacred room and Killian hates anyone going there, he'll sack you immediately he finds you prying. " Sophia said.

"Really?" Disha asked.

"Do not try to violate his order " Sophia warned.

And as Disha trailed behind Sophia, she couldn't help but grow so curious.

What could be in that room?
