The Nanny Affair Series novel Chapter 28

The old lady sprouts a cautious look at us, especially Riya who was about to give it away that, we weren't married to each other.

After a long scan, she lets us in and ushered us to her visitor's room, Riya soared her eyes round before, receding her words to me.

"Can you kindly explain, what the heck you said, a while ago? Who is married to whom? Huh!". A funny look draped over her face, smurding a weak smile on mine, "aww! Don't worry sweetheart, it was only a way to obtain a roof over our heads, so don't worry that little brain of yours!".

I veered back to leave but halted when I noticed she held me back, " little brain of mine? See who's talking, the same person who keeps pretending, he doesn't feel anything nor get influenced by anyone, why don't you tell me! Mr. Salem Baltimore, who are you?".

I gently pulled my hands from her, as she fiddles for my response, "your highness, I am waiting?" She said to me.

"Waiting for what? I don't think I have any explanation for you and if you're still mad because of my words the other time, then be my guest and keep acting like a child".

I smirked and left her startled.

I know that I keep hurting Riya, however, it is the only way to keep her safe.

THE FOLLOWING DAY

I couldn't get myself to sleep, Riya gets up from bed thereafter.

"Good morning" she greets and walked into the bathroom, I glued my eyes and wondered, what's going on with her, did my words hurt her to a point that, her greetings to me, was as cold as ice.

A few hours later, we both walked down and thanked the old lady for her aid to us, we went out and thankfully got a taxi to take us home.

Elena turns and draped a startled look on her face, she runs over and hugged Riya, repaying her eyes to me.

"How are you Salem? How did you escape, I was so worried about you? Hope you are okay?". She gets emotional.

"I'm fine ma'am,". I replied.

"That's good, why don't you go to your room and freshen up".

She ordered and I fled heading to my bedroom.

After a while, Elena came to visit me, she walks in without knocking, attaining my attention.

"Yeah, aunt, did you need anything?" I asked.

"No! I just want to say thank you for taking good care of my daughter, she's the only one I have since, the untimely demise of my husband and son".

Elena announced.

My mom can't stop lying can she?.

Yes, it was my duty to save Riya, but I hope I never get to go on another kidnapped journey with her.
