Babysitter for the CEO

“Maybe imagining our human self will help. You know, all those werewolf novels and movies say so. I’ll go first.” Evelyn closed her eyes and immediately her white gown changed to a pink mini gown and she now wore red shoes. Her wings were gone. Eyes had returned to normal and the tint on her hair vanished.

“Your turn,” Evelyn said, feeling proud of herself for being smart enough to figure out the way to transform back.

Vanessa closed her eyes and imagined herself wearing a black chiffon gown and white slippers.

Soon enough, she returned to her human self. But their skin was still glowing, so they had to wait for a while before it dimmed.

“Vanessa, I won’t fight you anymore. But if Lisa yells at me, I’ll have to vent my ire on a certain fox,” Evelyn stated.

“That’s fine by me BFF. Will you wait here…”

“No way!” Evelyn cut short Vanessa’s words.

“You’re scared I might not return?” Vanessa asked.

“Not that. I just wanna see that bastard man. It would be nice to freeze him” Evelyn had begun to think of various kinds of torture she’d give Jack and Vanessa shook her head.

“Let’s go,” Vanessa led the way.

“Hey! Earlier, did you think I wanted to fight with you?” Evelyn asked.

“Not really. You wanted to test our newfound selves and the powers that accompany us.” Vanessa replied.

“And it felt so good to fly,” Evelyn remarked.

“And I had fun winning the race” Vanessa poked at Evelyn’s sore spot.

“I will get back at you later. Just you wait” Evelyn said calmly but Vanessa laughed.

“I think it’s time we do a little check on our family history. Our ability to telepath and sharp hearing is a shocker but adding that to our fairy self and undiscovered powers, we have to do something about it” said Evelyn as they walked away.

“Noted, my princess,” Vanessa said and they laughed.

Unknown to them, a figure in black wearing a grey veil was hiding at the place they transformed back to human. Seeing that they’d left, the figure came out and looked in their direction.

“Hahaha, I finally found them. Can’t wait for them to grow stronger then I can take my revenge in a grander manner. Hahaha,” the figure vanished.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, at M city.

Nelson Woodley got a call that informed him of the death of seven pregnant ladies. They all had the fetus in them, squashed like potatoes before bleeding to death.

“Well, that’s quite shocking,” said Nelson as he spun around on his presidential chair at his company, GVS enterprises. “But why are you calling me, Peter? Am I the police?”

“Well, boss! One of our future clients, Mrs. Laila Rome, lost her life too. She was 2 months pregnant.” Peter jones dropped the bomb.

“Well, life is never fair. No need to lament. Just give my word to the husband. Tell him I’ll come to visit during the funeral. And one more thing, Peter. Such bad news which carries the aura of death, don’t directly call me. Who knows if I might be next?”

“Sir, are you afraid of death?” Peter asked half-jokingly, and Nelson scoffed.

“I’m only afraid that death would think I’m too righteous to be touched. I’m also handsome. If death is female, she could fall for me, a cold, handsome Millionaire” Nelson said narcissistically and Peter Jones on the other end of the call sighed in defeat.

What did he expect of an unemotional boss? Nothing nice!

***********************

Boss, no news of her and her bestie yet,” said one of the bodyguards to Lisa’s Dad over a phone call. He put down his phone and decided to go see his daughter whose situation had miraculously stabilized.

“How is she?” he asked upon entering the ward.

“Sir, she’s doing better now.” said one of the doctors.

“Now get lost” Jack commanded and they all escaped, thankful that the child was okay once again.

Jack sat beside the unconscious Lisa and touched her right shoulder, then held her right hand. He looked at her unsure of what to say.

“Lisa, I know… that you hate me a lot. And the fact is, I really hate you too. But seeing you… what you did today, I realized that, I’m a blind man. 4 good years and I never told you or did anything nice for you. I never gave you the love you sought. You became mother-less at a month old and had to be handled by nannies. I thought that material pleasure was enough for you but… I was wrong. Lisa, I’ll promise you, if you wake up and promise to behave, I’ll find you the mom you chose.” Jack said softly.

“Whether you have my blood flowing in your veins or not, since you choose to have my face, then I’m your daddy from now on. I promise to shower you with all the love and care I can. But you have to pardon daddy if I make mistakes. I will learn to love you from my heart” he then brought the little girl’s hand closer and kissed it.

At this moment, the door opened and two ladies came in. They were Vanessa and Evelyn. Vanessa was clutching her chest and Evelyn kept comforting her as they entered the ward and saw Jack holding Lisa’s right hand,

Immediately, Jack let go of Lisa’s hand and crossed his legs trying to look like a ruthless man.

‘What’s the use of pretending after we saw you just now?’ Evelyn scoffed in her heart but Vanessa’s focus was however on the unconscious Lisa who was in a patient gown. Her sleeping self looked so peaceful and adorable. She immediately ran to Lisa after leaving Evelyn’s hold. She touched Lisa’s face and then bent low to kiss her forehead.

“I’m here now, Lisa. Mummy is here” she whispered. She felt the pain in her chest reducing greatly which meant Lisa was in very good condition. She would soon wake up.

“Ahem. Lady, who gave you permission to barge in and molest my little girl” Jack asked and Vanessa finally raised her head to see the owner of the voice.

“Hello, again Mr. Reynolds. I’m Vanessa and this is my bestie, Evelyn. I came to see your child one last time. Sorry if I upset you. Please, let us leave. We’ll never bother you again” said Vanessa calmly. Jack was shocked for a moment but quickly gained his composure. Why was he shocked before? Coz information from his bodyguards was that the ugly blonde was mute. But now, it was otherwise.

“Of course, you can leave” Jack calmly said, pointing at the exit.

“Thank you, sir,” Vanessa and Evelyn said in unison and were prepared to leave but in the next second, two bodyguards appeared from nowhere to block the exit.

They both turned around and Evelyn thundered.

“Mr. Reynolds, what is the meaning of this?”
