THE NANNY AFFAIR

The minute she walked out of the room, I also veered back to leave just to notice the door has been jammed shut.

“What the hell?”

I tried all I could to break the door but I ran out of energy, hence i was left doing the only thing I never knew I would.

“Hello, anyone there, please help me”.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

In my quest of finding out the truth, I got myself in deep shit, and to add up to my problems I was claustrophobic, my breathing increase as I banged on the door non-stop to a point I fell to the floor unconscious.

Luckily, someone heard me and rushed in to see the depleting look on my face, apparently when I peeped to see who it was, Riya screamed out and rushed to send help.

“Salem? Son are you okay?”.

I opened up my eyes to see everyone in the family staring worried, Riya stood behind her mom stealing glances at me.

“I am fine ma’am! I just had a panic attack!” I said letting out a deep breath.

Elena pins a weak smile and laughs, attaining a confused look on my face.

She says ” I am sorry for laughing but you reminded me of someone”. And by that, she meant my father, her husband, Liam Khan.

A weak smile smudge on, being aware of who she reminisced about.

“Riya, kindly go to the kitchen and get Salem a glass of warm milk”.

She walks away listening to her mom’s words, one by one everyone at the room left, not quite long Riya frowns as she walks into my room and placed the warm glass of milk to me.

“Make sure you drink it, she says to me!” Ambling away, “thank you Riya”. Suddenly her feet froze the second I thanked her for what happened, still not a single word was said, she walks away leaving me alone in the room.

9:00 am)

I couldn’t get myself to sleep, no matter how hard I try, ” a good stroll would help me a lot!” I said to myself, as I wore my jacket and walked out of the room.

The house was a quiet as a graveyard, the fountain water surprised seized working, I veered closer trying to figure out the problem when a shadow ran past me immediately gaining my attention.

In a curious look, I looked on trying to find out who the person was and when I got to find out the truth, I saw Elena talking to a strange-looking man.

“What is going on here and who is that man?”. I sneaked behind a truck places there and listened to her conversation.

Elena says in a pissed-off mood” don’t give me that okay, and find a Sara, I don’t want her anywhere close to me”.

The strange man kept on insisting that she finds someone else to find her because, if the issue gets heard by the police, all hell will surely break loose, and walks away.

Do I need to know if it the same Sara I not, is she my nanny? Or someone else that bears the same name as her?”.

The pending question I asked myself got cleared up when Elena swore, says and I quote, “no, this cannot be happening! Sara Scott cannot stay alive! She has to die one way or the other, the same way I killed her lover and my son!.

Angered by her words, I closed my fist, as I walked back into the house, after such affirmation.

But before I do anything stupid, I have got to find my Nanny!. Smiles.
