Nanny Blanca you can not tell anyone you saw my face like this. Not yet" Bella said taking the elder lady's hand in hers.
Nanny Blanca's face was flushed. The Young Miss was too beautiful it left her speechless.
"Nanny Blanca?!"
"..."
"Nanny Blanca" Bella waved her hand in front of the woman's face. But...
"..."
"Earth to Blanca"
"Huh...oh yes Young Miss I understand" Blanca's face flushed deeply from embarrassment after being caught staring.
"Okay can you get some things from the market for me"
"Yes of course. What do you wish to buy?"
"Some food stuffs I'm making lunch" Bella declared with a smile.
Nanny Blanca's lips twitched. "...lunch?"
"That's right" Bella nodded.
"Um..Young Miss can you cook?"
"Yes I can" Bella was sure of her culinary skills. After all in her past life Lexus had taught her to cook all his favorite dishes as well as hers. He had also taught her a few simple dishes too.
"Okay" Nanny Blanca decided that she would just supervise to prevent an explosion from happening.
Bella quickly made a list of the things that she would need and gave it to Nanny Blanca. "This are all the things that I need Nanny"
"Okay I'll be back soon" Nanny Blanca went to the door and opened it.
"Um nanny?"
"Yes Young Miss?"
"Thank you"
Nanny Blanca stilled. She was sure now that the Young Miss had changed and she was certain that it had to do with the Young master from the Queens family.
With a smile she went off to complete the task that she was charged with. When the Kings saw her wearing a smile they all had one thing on their faces.
CONFUSION.
"Nanny Blanca...why are you smiling like you just got your first kiss?" Bradley teased and fist bumped his younger brother Zachary.
"Its nothing. Anyways I have to step out now I'll be back as soon as I can"
"Where are you going Nanny Blanca? You need to be here to supervise this youngsters. You know Ian will be here with his family soon"
Nanny Blanca almost laughed. The only one who needed supervision was that lazy bum upstairs.
She just hoped that whatever poison the Young Miss was going to invent would be irreversible or else the Queens were in for the greatest potty adventure of their lives.
She hurriedly left to buy the things from a grocery store nearby.
Upstairs, Bella was eating like there was no tomorrow. She wolfed down the tea and toast Nanny Blanca gave her but she was not full.
She rubbed her tummy grumbling about how she was bound to get a feeding disorder one day.
She glanced at the clock on her wall and saw that she had only two hours to get ready as it was already ten o'clock.
Her eyes started drooping on its own. She tried to stay awake but she loves her precious sleep.
She set an alarm for eleven thirty and lay on the bed after carefully putting the tray on her bedside table.
*Yawn*"I'll just get ready later" she said as she thought of what to wear.
Her eyes immediately flew open. She searched her memories to remember what Lexus wore today. A navy blue shirt and black slacks.
A tear or two slipped from her eyes as she knew she had to leave the bed and arrange her clothes if she didn't want to forget when she wakes up.
Dragging her feet she approached her wardrobe. She searched for it...ah where was it? It was right here. Found it!
She brought out a navy blue button up shirt she bought from a mall abroad while she was still studying. She removed a pair of black jeans and lay them on her bed with the shirt.
She crawled onto the bed and shut her eyes. She waited for sleep but it didn't come. She ended up counting.
"...one thousand and ten, one thousand and eleven,one thousand and twelve..."
Sleep finally came...But all she saw was the past her.
Six months ago she had come back to her home country after studying abroad for four years. She met Cassie Thorne.
She smiled in her sleep. That Thorne was really a thorn in her flesh. Cassie befriended her under the guise of studying the same course: arts.
Soon all she saw was darkness. The same darkness that she saw when she died. She was crying in her dreams but she had no idea that she was also crying in real life.
Nanny Blanca was getting confused. She had come back few minutes ago. She had come to inform the Young Miss but had found her curled in bed like a foetus, crying.
"...I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." Was all Bella kept saying.
RING RING
She gasped and woke up. "It was a dream. It was a dream" she started chanting like a mantra.
"Young Miss"
*Scream*"N-nanny Blanca? Wha-what are doing here?"
"I came to inform you that the ingredients have been bought"
Bela nodded. "Okay thank you"
"Bella dear...are you...alright?"
"Yes it was just a scary dream"
Nanny Blanca smiled and hugged Bella's head. "I'm here if you ever need to talk to someone"
Gratitude filled Bella's heart, she thought it was gonna overflow. Nodding her head in affirmation she say "yes thank you"
Nanny Blanca smiled and left her room. Bella stretched her stiff limbs and patted her bed with a soft "I'll be back for you"
She hurriedly dressed up and checked her appearance in front of the mirror. "Not bad Bella King. Not bad" she praised herself.
Even without makeup she could guarantee that she was the prettiest among all the eligible ladies in R city.
She walked to the door and opened it. She glanced back at her bed with pure sadness in her eyes.
She went down the stairs and straight into the kitchen. She looked at the ingredients prepared on the kitchen island and smiled.
She was going to make everyone's favorites. Four maids and Nanny Blanca stood in a straight line waiting for instructions.
Bella's eyes narrowed to slits. "You and you" she pointed.
The maids touched themselves. "Us Miss?"
"Yes" with a cold tone she said "leave"
"But..."
"I said leave. I don't need traitors here. If you know that you still want to work anywhere in this city then I suggest that you tender in your resignations now"
These maids had joined forces with Cassie to cause trouble for her. The result?
Nanny Blanca suffered a heart attack and died. Her father banished her from the mansion, cut off all the ties with her.
The maids faces were contorted and they tried to speak more but the cold look in Bella's eyes stopped them from even breathing too loud.
This was just the beginning. One by one she was going to make them pay.
