Duncan was done showing the workers the houses Steve and Sand settled Rose helped Steve to arrange the house and also dusted around to make sure that the room was tidy whilst Noel helped Sandy to make sure that the room was well arranged for them to settle the evening was fast approaching Duncan realized that everything was set he waited for Noel and Rose to come out of the room for him to make sure that they went back home but Noel and Rose took their time to make sure that their friends from the village are comfortable.
"I am happy that you are here welcome to our father's hacienda," Noel said.
Sandy smiled and shied and looked at the wall she was very nervous at noel she didn't know what to reply to him Noel realized.
"You should not be nervous at me I am harmless," Noel said.
"You are a son of our boss a billionaire I should not be talking to you, I am a daughter of a commoner from the village I am from a poor family," Sandy said.
"That is nothing to me class is not in my vocabulary whether rich or poor we are all the same in the eyes of our creator and most of all I am sorry to tell you that I have fallen in love with you and nobody can stop it" Noel responded boldly.
Sandy was very shocked she became confused no one has ever told her that kind of information Noel realized.
"I have run short of words I am afraid your parents will not allow that and you know it I can't tell you anything about that if I accept to tell you I love you it's going to be a forbidden love please leave me alone for now I don't want to lose my job and yet I need this job more than I need myself please leave me alone" Sandy responded.
Sandy was shocked she held her head with both hands as if she was mourning and faced toward the wall to avoid Noel, Rose, on the other hand, helped Steve to make sure that his room was in order Steve was very surprised to see Rose in his room helping him he wanted to discourage her but she was the daughter of the owner of the hacienda Emilio and he wanted to avoid to be sacked.
"My boss will kill me if he knows that you are here in my house he will kill me or I am going to be chased away and also lose my job and I need this job like never before I am a son of a peasant farmer I will be chased like a wild animal and I will rot in the village please leave me alone" Steve pegged her.
"You don't have to worry I am no longer a juvenile I am an adult whom I finished my university education last year you don't have to worry," Rose said boldly.
Steve was very shocked to hear that he run short of what to say he had no option but to keep quiet. Rose looked at him directly in his eyes he looked in a different direction Duncan realized that it was getting late he was uncomfortable and he had no power over the son and daughter of Emilio the owner of the hacienda.
Duncan became uncomfortable movie up and down some of the workers were very surprised to see him at such a time Noel realized it was getting dark he already know the location of Sandy's house, and Rose, on the other hand, realized it was getting late.
"Steve doesn't lock the door I will be in three hours," Rose said boldly.
Steve was shocked and looked at Rose wanting to say something but he composed himself and looked at Rose.
"I hope you've heard what I said don't lock the door I will be back" Rose repeated.
Steve nodded implying that he has agreed Rose smiled and moved outside he saw Duncan waiting for them.
"Duncan what are you still doing?" Rose asked.
"I am Waiting for you it was me who made you accompany me to workers' quarters" Duncan responded.
"We are no longer teenagers we are adults we don't need anyone to monitor our lives anymore," Rose said.
Noel was happy to have met Sandy he wishes not to go but Sandy wanted him to go.
"How am I going to tell the owner of the house to go," Sandy asked herself.
Noel realized that Sandy wanted to say something he smiled at Sandy.
"Sandy I love you so much I hope you understand me," Noel said.
Sandy was shocked and kept quiet without saying anything she loved noel but there was a barrier and that was class she is from the village but Noel is the son of the billionaire the owner of the hacienda and the ranch the richest person in the country.
Rose realized that Noel has delayed she went and knocked on the door Noel realized that it rose her sister.
"My love bye see you but I will be back," Noel said.
Rose heard what her brother said and that he will be back Noel come out she found her sister standing at the door.
"You mean you will be back?" Rose asked.
Rose whispered to avoid Duncan to hear the question.
"Yes I will be back I want our parents to sleep then I will be back I have the love of my life and that is Sandy," Noel said confidently.
"That is a good idea we will be back together" Rose responded.
They agreed to be back after eating dinner Duncan was happy to see that both are out they went towards Duncan the hacienda manager.
"It's getting late let's hurry your father will kill me if he will know that we are here at this particular moment," Duncan said.
They hurried back home but in the mind of Rose and Noel Rose, they were going to be back.
Rose was nervous because her mother Rachel was going to be inquisitive about where they were noel always had a way to convince his mother. Duncan hurried rose and noel followed him from behind it was cold since it was already seven pm Rachel looked at the time on the watch on the wall Emilio busy watching the evening news realized that his wife was a bit uncomfortable.
"my dear what is wrong why are you a bit worried is anything the problem?" Emilio asked.
"where are noel and rose I think they are after something," Rachel said.
"remember they both finished their university education recently both finished their university education recently I think they need their freedom," Emilio said.
"Are you serious about what you are saying?" Rachel asked.
"We are a billionaire family I don't want my children to interact with the people from the village or have any relationship with the poor village dwellers" Rachel responded.
"You know our children they are so selective I don't expect them to make such a decision," Emilio said.
Rachel became easy she stood and walked to and fro in the sitting room whilst Emilio sat watching the news but he was surprised to see her wife being agitated.
"My dear please sit down and relax they are going to come don't worry my son and daughter are sensible they are not going to do such a thing" Emilio responded.
There was a knock at the door Rachel rushed to open it was Rose and Noel.
"Where are you coming from at this time of night don't you know that you should not interact with the people from the village?" Rachel asked.
"We were with Duncan the hacienda manager we wanted him to teach us how to manage the hacienda and also the ranch" Rose responded.
"I like that that is the spirit my daughter like daughter like mother like father like the son you will soon be the managers of my empire" Emilio responded.
Rachel didn't like the idea of her husband praising their children she sat and Ruth brought the dinner and placed it on the dining table they all moved to the dining room for dinner and sat as a family to eat Ruth was taken by thought and remembered the secret love affair between both Emilio and Rachel she stood holding the glass of water looking at Emilio Rachel realized.
"Why are you looking at my husband in that manner?" Rachel asked boldly.
Ruth in fright made the glass fall on the floor and break.
"What is wrong with you Ruth what is bothering you?" Rachel asked.
Ruth cleared the mess and rushed back to the kitchen to avoid being interrogated further Emilio and his entire family looked at each other in surprise Ruth sat in the kitchen to eat her dinner but she had no appetite because what is bothering her is the secret love affair in billionaire's hacienda.
"I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say also I don't know whom to tell," Ruth said to herself.
Ezekiel and David came into the kitchen as usual to take their dinner Ruth stood in fright.
"Relax it's we don't be afraid," David said.
They both sat Ruth served them dinner.
"I see you are behaving strangely what is the problem?" David asked.
Ruth kept quiet David and Ezekiel looked at each other.
"Ruth you don't have to worry if it is a sensitive matter even us we have the most sensitive matter at hand let's share tell us first and we will tell you ours" David responded.
Ruth looked at them in fear Ezekiel nodded showing that she should not worry about what she was about to share.
"I have the secret to share but since you are mature enough I will for me to be at ease" Ruth responded.
"Please we've been together for quite some time let's share the greatest secrets in the billionaire's hacienda," David said.
Ruth had her confidence in them she decided to share.
"What is bothering me is the secret love affair between Reuben the gardener and Rachel the wife of Emilio the owner of the billionaire's hacienda," Ruth said.
Ezekiel and David looked at each other in surprise.
"You mean Rachel and David are secret lovers also?" Ezekiel asked.
"Who are also the lovers in the billionaire's hacienda?" Ruth asked.
"Emilio the billionaire and also Rosario the wife of the peasant farmer in the village" David responded.
"What!" Ruth interjected.
"I suspected a long time ago Emilio and Rosario are lovers too but I confirmed that recently I thought I was the only one whom I know" Ruth responded.
They all kept quiet and thought.
"What are we going to do?" Ruth asked.
"We have nothing to do we don't have to meddle with the family's secret love affairs if we do so we are going to be in trouble" Ezekiel advised.
"That is true we don't need to meddle but keep quiet as if nothing is going on" David responded.
"We need to approach this in a wise way to avoid breaking the family apart and also can lead us to lose our jobs we need to earn a living for our family," Ezekiel said.
"That is true let's us be spectators but not the players someday the solution will arise amongst themselves," David said.
Ruth felt at ease and she was glad to have gotten the advice from David and Ezekiel, it was approaching midnight Rachel and Emilio went to sleep leaving behind Rose and Noel to watch the soap opera about the romantic escapades, Rose moved closer to Noel.
"Are we going to see them?" Rose asked.
"Yes I must go and see my love Sandy before I sleep," Noel said optimistically.
"Me too I must see Steve let's go they are already asleep," Noel said.
Noel peeped outside he saw no one but Ezekiel and David were under a shade where they could see what was going on in the hacienda the guards had already taken their position no one was on the way to the servant quarters Noel led Rose they ran hiding in the shade along with the flower lawn to the servant quarters Ezekiel and David spotted them.
"Where are the children sneaking to?" David asked.
"I think to the servant quarters" Ezekiel responded.
"Can we inform the boss?" David asked
"No as we had agreed we need to be spectators you never know when Noel or Rose are going to be the managers of the hacienda and the ranch and we could be in a hot soup," Ezekiel said.
They followed them behind shielding the Shadow to avoid being seen by Rose and Noel.
Noel and Rose arrived Rose knocked at Steve's door while Noel knocked at Sandy's door as Ezekiel and David saw from the distance Steve and Sandy heard the knock at the door they knew it was the billionaire's children.
