《Babysitting the Billionaire's Twin》 Chapter 1: 01 - Twins Chapter 1: 01 - Twins Autumn''s Point of View I''ve been spending hours checking myself in front of the mirror to see if my decision to wear a skirt was just right. I matched it with a long-sleeved top for today''s interview at apany called Jaxon. Days had also passed when I got fired in a restaurant as a waitress. It''s a good thing that I got out of there since I can''t stand the anger of the chef whenever he''s not in the mood. Add the fact that my back already hurt by resting on Lea''s couch. I started to roll my hair out in front since I''ve been blow drying it for quite a while. I also sprayed a bit of perfume and got out to wait for a tricycle that''ll take me to the ce of the interview. ¡°Tricycle!¡± I shouted. A tricycle stopped just in front of me. Looking at the guy, I think he''s only around my age. ¡°Where to, Ms. Beautiful?¡± he asked. I didn''t pay attention to his question because I''m used to being praised. Especially if it''s about physical looks. Because for me, the beauty of the heart is better than what can be seen by the eyes. I''ve been working for so long for myself when the doctors who took care of me died. They were the ones who helped me when I didn''t remember anything from my past. They said that they saw me in Europe, alone, and had no one to pay the hospital to discharge me. The couple pitied and helped me. ¡°Parker Company, please,¡± I answered and listened to the noise outside. Within a few more minutes, we stopped in front of a tall building. It''s taller than the ones I saw on television. The one who owns this is undoubtedly loaded with money. I gave the tricycle driver 20 pesos worth of money. ¡°Miss, it''s 30, not 20,¡± he said harshly. I rolled my eyes. We did not travel that far, but he''s overpricing it. I gave him a 10 peso. He immediately left as I walked inside the building. Instantly, a guy with blonde hair came over to me. He also had great features, if not for his uniform, he would be mistaken as a model. ¡°Good morning, ma''am. Wee to Parker Company,¡± he greeted with such a lively vibe. I greeted him back. ¡°So, you''re the new person who will apply as a receptionist. The interview will happen in room 316. Just be careful because it''s close to our boss'' office¡ª our boss if you''ll pass,¡± he reminded me. Instantly, I smiled and thanked him. It''s good that he told me that their boss'' room is close to the interview room. I should stay quiet when I go there. I hope I''m still notte for the interview or else, I''ll lose this opportunity that I''ve been waiting for. I pressed the elevator button. As it moved up. I feel nervous about what will happen in the interview. I hope that I''ll get epted. When the elevator dinged and opened, I immediately got out and searched for room 316. When I saw it, I instantly knocked, but nobody answered. I looked around and saw a newspaper on a chair. Jaxon Parker. The picture and the name were highlighted. This guy, even though he''s just inside a photo, still looked handsome. What if you meet him in person? I bet that''s going to be a whole, different level. My friend would probablyugh at me if she knew that I''m here at Parker Company to apply. ¡°Mr. Parker is known as the youngest businessman from the Philippines who has 20+ businesses that are top-selling; 50+ partnerships all over the world. And he is also always on the news because of his inspiring story about how he became a sessful man. He turned a simple apartment that he had before to a now biggest hotel that you can find anywhere in the world.¡± He''s terrific. With just a simple apartment before, now it''s a hotel. And it''s not only a simple hotel but the biggest one in the whole world. He has so many achievements. Maybe I''ll also be like this if I chose to be a doctor like them. I was about to sit when I heard a sounding from the side of the second floor. I went outside to investigate what''s there when I saw twins, which, I think, were only one-year-old. I quickly went to their side, worrying about what might happen to them. I wonder who their parents are. I hope they realize where they left their children. When I was about to stand up, the twins came close to a vase. It fell and broke. The child was just about to touch it when I shouted help. That frightened the twins. I went to their side to calm them down when they cried. They eventually calmed down, I''m sure that their parents are lovely. They''re too young, yet they''re already beautiful and handsome. Nervously, I decided to carry them both down to the receptionist. Their parents might be searching for them. Once I''m at the reception area, the other ran away. I immediately ran and carried the child. ¡°What do you think you''re doing with my children?¡± A voice so cold came from behind me which startled me. He looks so handsome that my jaw would drop. I realized he''s the one in the newspaper. Don''t tell me that''s Mr. Jaxon, the one who owns this ¡°Can you stop staring at me? What do you think you''re doing with my children?¡± he repeated that put me back to my senses. Once I made the baby face him, the child immediately called him da-da. The baby pped and the other eventually did the same. Worry was evident on his face. He instantly took them from me. ¡°Don''t worry, da-da is here.¡± He gently patted the child he was holding. It''s clear that he loves them. His heart is just so soft when ites to his children. He''s far from being the cold CEO of thepany. ¡°How did they end up with you? Where is Janice? She is their watcher, fuck,¡± he cussed. I''m still not looking at him. Does he think that I have bad intentions? ¡°Excuse me, sir, but I want to defend myself. I saw the twins at the corner and carried them to give them back to their parents. I didn''t know that you''re their father, so please, understand,¡± I answered, smiling at him. He ignored me. Suddenly, one of his children held onto my leg and spoke, ¡°Ma-ma.¡± I felt their father''s stare as I carried his child that was pping in joy. ¡°Da-da,¡± the child said, causing me to look at him. ¡°Sir, the twins are missing¡ª¡± The woman''s sentence cut off when she saw the twins that she was talking about. ¡°You''rete, what was my order to you?¡± Sir Jaxon said to her. She immediately bowed her head. ¡°Sorry, sir,¡± she answered. I don''t know her, but I need to make sure that it''s not her fault ¡°Sir, don''t me her. I''m sure that it''s hard to handle two kids; the reason why she lost her attention to them. These two were alright, no bruises or anything,¡± I told him. Even if he wasn''t that convinced, he still nodded. I saw Janice, rolling her eyes at me. Did I say anything wrong? ¡°Uhm, I didn''t know that you''re already married,¡± I shyly said. A softugh came from him. He''s still handsome even when he''sughing. ¡°You didn''t read the newspapers, did you?¡± he asked and I nodded. ¡°I''m not married. I just have two children to take care of,¡± he mentioned. I nodded again. When I looked at the clock, I realized that I''m toote for the interview. ¡°I''m sorry, but I need to go now. Good morning, Sir Jaxon and Ma''am Janice,¡± I said and rushed to get to the elevator. I knew it. I''ll bete for the interview. My hunch was right when I saw the word closed. I slumped on the floor. I was about to cry when someone spoke behind me. ¡°Sir Jaxon wants you to meet him in his office, room 318,¡± Janice said. I quickly stood up since I didn''t have any reason to meet him. Janice once again rolled her eyes at me. Thoughts ran in my mind. How would I find another job now? ¡°Don''t try to do anything that you''ll regret,¡± Janice reminded me before leaving me alone when we got to the office. I was amazed by the beautiful decorations around me. But what caught my attention was the view up here. Perhaps, Sir Jaxon does love the country where he grew up, but I guess he didn''t experience living in a ce that has too much noise. Amazement was what I felt while I watched vehicles move, looking small like ants from here. ¡°Ehem.¡± With my heart beating fast, I turned around and saw Sir Jaxon. He was rxed while leaning near the door. One of the buttons of his polo was screaming about how sexy he was. ¡°Sir, why did you call me here?¡± I ask him. He smiled before answering me, ¡°To interview you.¡± Chapter 2: 02 - His Proposal Chapter 2: 02 - His Proposal Autumn''s Point of View ¡°What?¡± I asked because I didn''t hear what he said. ¡°Can you repeat it?¡± I asked again but, he just stares at me and started to speak. ¡°Is that the way you talk to your soon-to-be boss?¡± He said while I started to apologize because of what I did, that''s right, I don''t have any rights to ask him and the fault is mine because I didn''t focus on what he said. ¡°Ah, my apologies, Sir Jaxon, I didn''t mean to not hear thest sentence you said. I am just mesmerized by the view up here,¡± I said while shing a smile. He just stared at me in the eyes like he was reading what''s on my mind. ¡°Oh, well, is this your first time to be here in my hotel?¡± he asked, emphasizing the word my. The truth is, this is my first time to be here in his hotel, and I could say that this is so amazing. Such an honor for me to be here. I know Lea wouldn''t believe it when I say that I saw Mr. Parker''s Content ? N?velDrama.Org. office, not on television, but in reality. ¡°Yes, your office is so breathtaking. The view from here is my favorite part. I am sorry for asking, but may I ask why I am here?¡± I asked. It''s toote when I realized what I said. It''s like we''re going to do something here. I shook my head because of the thought that it is not right. I need to control it and don''t think about things that were not about the reason why I came here. The only reason I am here is because of the job. I don''t want to lose this opportunity. ¡°Oh, yes, I am the one who will interview you for the position,¡± he replied. I felt my blood wake up because of what he said. That means the position of being a receptionist is yet taken. And take note, he will be the one who will interview me. ¡°Why do you want to be a receptionist?¡± he asked while I was thinking of what I should reply. The reason why I want to be a receptionist is that I am tired of being a waitress. It is so noisy and the chef there is so rude. I needed this job so that I could earn money. I dream of having a flower shop in the future. ¡°I want to get this position because I know I will be good at it. I am a very organized person. I can manage my customers andfortably talk to others,¡± I answered with so much confidence. I could say that I am qualified to get the job that I want and manage it in my way. ¡°Do you have any experience of being a receptionist?¡± he added, not showing any amazement on his face. ¡°Sir, I don''t have any experience of being a receptionist, but I know how to handle my patience and I can also¡ª¡± He cut off by tapping his fingers on the table, causing a loud, thump noise. ¡°Don''t repeat the same answer on the other question. Can you skip the part of what is written in your resume? I want to hear an impromptu and real answer,¡± he said. His eyes were looking at the pen he was holding. I didn''t know that the interview would be like this. I thought he would just ask what was on the resume. ¡°So, you''re a waitress before. Why should I entrust you this position?¡± he asked. His eyes were looking now in my eyes. I don''t know what to answer. ¡°Just like what I said¡ª¡± He cut off again. What should I say? I felt my cheeks going red because of the anger I was starting to feel. ¡°Tut-tut, if you''re just going to repeat your answer, I don''t want to hear it.¡± I tried to calm myself because I can''t concentrate anymore. ¡°Um, I am apanion before of a professional doctor so¡ª¡± He cut me off again. I''m about to burst out in anger when he stood up and he leaned his face to me. ¡°Can you stop saying what was on your resume and give me something real?¡± he said. My anger faded when I saw his eyes. It is so mesmerizing. It is so beautiful, but how can I speak when he always cut me off? I frowned. He gave me a nod that I didn''t understand. It seemed like I needed to try again. He was probably testing my patience on how long I can handle it. If he wants a real answer, I will give it to him. He fixed his sitting position, so I started to say a word. ¡°If you want the truth, Mr. Jaxon, I will say it to you. I am just a waitress when my acting parents died in an ident. It''s been a year and I still don''t know what happened to me or who I am. I don''t even know who my birth parents were. The only thing I know is I need to survive every day because no one will do it for me. I need money to feed my empty stomach. Yes, I don''t have any experience of being a receptionist, not like the others who are applying. I am just sharing a house with my best friend, but I have a lot of patience because of where I live. You know, in a slum,¡± I said, realizing what I spilled, I don''t know how I can face him anymore. ¡°Did my answer satisfy what you want to hear, sir?¡± I continued, not giving him any gaze. ¡°Ms. Saunders,¡± he called. Shyness spread through my body. How can I talk to him when he already knows the full story of my life? ¡°You''re so brave,¡± he praised me. Is this real? But I felt something heavy in my chest. It was so massive that even my closest friend didn''t know what I had been through. ¡°Maybe God put me in this situation because He knew that I could do it,¡± I said, trying to smile in front of him. ¡°You''re so brave to let me know what you had been through. I don''t want to waste the opportunity to have you as the caretaker of my twins,¡± he said, but the words he said didn''t sink in my head. What did he say? ¡°Tell me, do you like children?¡± he asked. It surprised me. What is the connection of it for being a receptionist? ¡°Uhm, what is the connection between children and applying for the position to be a receptionist?¡± I asked, not answering his question. He just fixed his gaze on me. ¡°The position was taken because you didn''t show up in the interview a while ago. They already hired someone,¡± he exined, but I feel sad. I just let the opportunity pass. I was about to stand up when he held my wrist. ¡°You didn''t understand what I said?¡± he asked. I was left confused while sitting on the chair. ¡°The interview is for being the caretaker of my children. I could say that you have the qualities I was looking for,¡± he said, taking what he said as praise. The interview that made me cry earlier is for being a caretaker. So it means that he pushed my patience to the limit so he would know if I am qualified for being a caretaker? ¡°Well, if you ept my offer, how about you live in my mansion?¡± he asked. This time, I am speechless. It''s like a boyfriend inviting me to live with him. Am I ready to see him everyday and try not to pay attention to his attractive face? Chapter 3: 03 - Tyron Chapter 3: 03 - Tyron Spring''s Point of View One year has passed when I was catenated to be the heiress of a business. Everything that happened to me was frustrating this past week. I was busy doing my PowerPoint presentation but suddenly got interrupted when my secretary knocked on my office door. ¡°Give me some good news,¡± I abruptly said to her when she entered my office. ¡°Ma¡¯am, the CEO of the Reign Company, wants to pull out their investment,¡± she gently uttered. I abruptly held my temple and massaged it. My day has been hell, and she just heightened it up. ¡°Get out!¡± I yelled at her. She got nervous because she ran away from my office. When she closed the door, I fell on my seat. I need to rx, even for a short period. I honestly do not know what I am going to do. Our sales declined this past month because of the newly opened flower shop in France that hauled our customers. That¡¯s the reason why those investors decided to pull out their stocks from ours. I know thatter when I get home, my dad will dispute me again, and will just repeat all the things they have done to me. I don¡¯t even know that thispany will be like this! I think it is better if I meet Ajax. He¡¯ll surely obliterate all my frustrations that I was feeling. I bought a beer for us to drink. I don¡¯t have the eagerness to attend the board meeting now because I know that something good will not happen. I have a key to Ajax¡¯s condo because I always sleep there. We have been together for two years. I don¡¯t want to be chained to a man, but my father wants me to marry to boost up ourpany. He already did this before, but the man decided to divorce, and I had the chance to be with my fianc¨¦, Ajax. When I opened the door, I saw two shoes on the floor. What angered me is the other pair of shoes that has a heel. It''s a stiletto. I don¡¯t want to believe what my mind was suspecting unless I saw everything. I slowly entered with beers in my hand. The door is slightly opened. My whole body stiffened from what I saw. This usually happens to a girl who caught their man having sex with another girl, but I can¡¯t believe that this will happen to me. I don¡¯t know what I am supposed to do. I now know what that it feels like when heaven and earth fell upon you. This day has been a bad, fucking day. Apany pulled out their investment stocks, and then this happened! My fianc¨¦ just cheated on me. What a fucking day! I chose the thing I want to do. I threw the two beers I¡¯ve been holding to the painting above the Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. headboard of the bed that shocked him. He abruptly pushed the girl, whom I recognized as Amore, the girl I¡¯ve been jealous of for a long time, even before. He told me that they don¡¯t have a rtionship. They¡¯re just workmates. I don¡¯t know if I''m supposed tough because they got wet from the beer I threw out to them, or feel the pain. After all, I didn¡¯t listen to my sibling when he said that Ajax is a cheater. Iughed when he just suddenly hugged me, looking crazy wearing his shirt like nothing had happened. Some men do things that looked like they didn¡¯t even care for doing perfect shits. ¡°Babe, let me exin. What you saw was wrong,¡± he said while hugging me. My tears were deliberately falling to my cheeks, like a hare running in a race. ¡°Wrong! Can you see this ring?!¡± I said while pushing him away. I immediately put my ring off my finger and threw it at the girl. ¡°You are too stupid! And you, girl, you will be blessed! Here¡¯s my palm!¡± I rushed to her angrily and pped her face with full exert of effort. She did not fight back. I hurriedly went out of his condo and threw his keys somewhere. I immediately rode to my car and drove it fast. I don¡¯t know where I am going. If I go to our house, I¡¯ll just see my parents'' faces who will scold me because of my stupidity. I stopped at a park and abruptly went out of my car when suddenly, there¡¯s a man I bumped into. I fell off the ground. I could''ve shouted, but I felt more pain from what I¡¯ve experienced today. I saw him panicking because many people were already looking at us. That¡¯s why he offered his handkerchief to me. ¡°Miss, are you hurt? I¡¯m sorry. I was on my phone,¡± he said, asking for forgiveness. I¡¯m shocked when he suddenly turned his back on me and looks like he wants me to ride on him. Looks like he¡¯ll carry me on his back. ¡°It is embarrassing if you cry here. I know somece for you to pour that out,¡± he added from what he said. I do not know if I¡¯ll trust him, but I just saw myself riding on his back. I can even smell his perfume. I can tell that it is a Tom Ford Noir because my dad also has this. ¡°What happened to you?¡± he asked. I also don¡¯t know if it is okay to open up to a stranger. However, he looks trustworthy. I also want to pour these things that happened to me today. And we will not see each other because I have loads of work in ourpany. We stopped in a quiet ce, with no people. What you can only see are the river and some nts. Is this the ce he was talking about? ¡°You know what? This is my favorite ce because every time I go here, the pain, hatred, and sadness that I feel fade. They always say that if you want to lessen all your burdens in life, just shout it out loud. Don¡¯t you want to give it a shot?¡± he asked, smiling. He is a gorgeous man. He is handsome. ¡°You go first,¡± I told him shyly while wiping my makeup. ¡°I don¡¯t even have¡ª¡± I tried to turn my back at him. He sighed. ¡°Okay, okay,¡± he said, raising his two hands as a form of surrender. ¡°I don¡¯t want this. I don¡¯t want to be a CEO because I need to marry a person I don''t even know. How can I love a woman when I don¡¯t know anything about her? Tell me, Mom and Dad, what¡¯s your problem? Why do I need to marry that woman? Why me?!¡± he shouted angrily. My mouth fell because we have the same situation. I immediately tapped his shoulder. He even smiled slyly at me. ¡°Hey, that also happened to me. Karma got back to me because I chose the wrong person. He cheated on me. I even have a problem with my sibling because of that man,¡± I told him. ¡°I had a girlfriend before. We went to the States. I asked her to marry me, but her answer is no because she doesn¡¯t want a life connected to a business. She wanted me to be the only one who had to work because she doesn¡¯t know anything about business. I understand her, but not my parents. They told me to break up with her because I won¡¯t get anything from her. But I fought and proposed to her. She just hugged me and said that she got pregnant by another man while I was in the States for our business,¡± he continued and started to cry. This is my first time to see a man cry. Not even my dad. We slowly felt each other¡¯s vibe, andter on, we started tough. They¡¯re right that it¡¯s better to open up with someone you do not know because they won¡¯t judge you. ¡°By the way, what¡¯s your name?¡± he asked me. I stopped talking. ¡°It is okay if you will not tell it. I¡¯m Tyron, son of the owner of Seeds Company,¡± he said. He reached out his hands to mine, asking for a handshake. I slowly epted his hand and smiled at him. ¡°My name is Spring Saunders. We have a Flower Company,¡± I told him. And from that moment, all my frustrations fade away. P.S. Autumn and Spring are twins. I wrote her point of view because she has involvement and connection to the story. Chapter 4: 04 - Attraction Chapter 4: 04 - Attraction Autumn''s Point of View I saw myself here in front of his mansion, all I could say is this is amazing because the mansion was bigger than the other estate that I saw on the television. Amazement filled me, but I got back to my consciousness when he coughed. ¡°Shall we?¡± he asked. That made my cheeks red; my face was so awkward. I think my mouth became a little more open than the flies could enter it. I tried to hide my shyness when he opened the door. He offered his hand to me so that I could remove my shoes freely. What a gentleman. When we entered the mansion, all I could say was that it is so gorgeous on the outside, especially on the inside. The equipment and design were so beautiful and unique. Maybe those were limited editions, or they can only be found in other countries. It''s my first time to see a mansion. I feel like I''ve seen this before. I just can''t remember where and when. ¡°Well, I want to tour you around my house, but I need to go to work. Maybe you should wait for me when I get home. Wait for me at the twin''s yroom. Is that okay?¡± He asked. I just gave him a nod. I thought that he had a maid, but it looks like he was the only one who was living here with the twins. I was about to ask more questions when he entered the twin''s yroom and gave them a peck. ¡°If you need anything, just give me a call. My number is in the note on the fridge. By the way, you should go around the house, so you can be familiar with it,¡± he said. I just gave him a nod so that he knew that I understood what he said. After that, he just waved at me. He opened the door and went to his job. Can I say where are my kids, too? Just kidding. ¡°Ma-ma,¡± they said to me again. Like what Jaxon did, I gave them a peck on the cheek and hugged them. Well, this will be a tough day for me. I gave them a toy and was about to cook for myself in the kitchen when they cried which annoyed me. I washed my hands and went to carry them. It''s like I''m carrying a stone with my two hands. Maybe the most challenging thing in my life is living in the slum area where the sound of crying babies seemed to not end, gossips of people that can ruin your status. That happened to me before I got here. They gossiped that I got a sugar daddy so I could get away from that area. They said that I would get rich because of that. Who wants to be a rich person? But fooling a person is another level. ¡°Huwaaa~¡± I was back at my unconsciousness when one of the twins cried. Oh, shoot. I don''t even know their names. He didn''t even tell me before he left. But if I text him about their names, wouldn''t I disturb him in his work? ¡°Maybe we should go out. Maybe you''re bored in this mansion because the two of you were always holding your toys,¡± I said while talking to them. We will go out once they''re done eating my homemade cereal. It is a good thing that all of the ingredients are here. ¡°Say ah,¡± I happily said while feeding them. They pped their hands. How I wish to have kids like them. Maybe soon. After a while, I just removed their dirty clothes and got them a new one. It''s a nice thing that they have Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. a stroller here. Maybe Jaxon tours them outside. We went to the park and someone greeted me. ¡°You have a beautiful child, ¡± he said while flirting with me. I sighed because of annoyance. I just pushed the stroller past him. After a minute, the rain started to pour. I pushed the stroller until we''re in a building. ¡°What do you think you''re doing, miss? Go outside. You''re not wee here,¡± he angrily said. When I looked at him, I saw thepany''s name. Parker Company. Who is this guard? Is he a new one? ¡°We will go out when the rain stops. I can''t go outside because my children will get sick!¡± I said. It''s getting colder here because of the aircon. But he disagreed with me and started a debate. ¡°You know, miss, this is a businesspany. If you don''t have any business here, go outside because if my boss sees you, he will be angry at me,¡± he added. I can sense his anger. Some people started to look at us, but even he can''t give me an order, especially if it''s all about the kids. ¡°No, sir, I will not go outside. How could you fathom the thought of children going to that storm?¡± I said while confidently looking at him. I am the right one in this situation. Even though it''s a bigpany, I can''t sacrifice the health of these kids, or I will be the one who will get scolded by their father. And besides, this is their father''spany, too. ¡°You left me with no choice,¡± he said and started to push us, but a voice stopped him. ¡°What''s happening?¡± Jaxon said while walking downstairs. When he saw me, he hurried to go to us and carried the twins. The people and the guard were shocked. ¡°Sir, this woman is entering ourpany. She''s soaking wet,¡± the guard reasoned out, but Jaxon just gave him a death re. ¡°You''re fired!¡± he hissed. The guard begged, ¡°Sir, I have a family, please.¡± ¡°What would happen to my children if I didn''t go down? Care to exin?¡± he shouted. This is the first time that I saw him this mad. I tried to calm him down by holding his shoulder. ¡°Jaxon, that''s fine. I will protect the twins, and I have a fault, too, because I didn''t inform him that they were your children,¡± I exined, trying to save the guard. ¡°Well, that''s an improper manner,¡± Jaxon said. I ended up protecting the guard who shooed me a while ago. ¡°Just give him a chance, please, for me,¡± I pleaded. He just sighed and nodded. ¡°Thank you, sir,¡± the guard said to him, but he just answered with a cold tone. ¡°Thank her because she was the one who saved you,¡± he stated. The guard thanked me. I just answered him with a nod. When the guard left, he spoke, ¡°You''re truly a kind person. You surprise me, Autumn. I felt his sincerity when he said that. A strange sensation ran through my body. I felt hot even though it''s raining and the aircon is still open. Chapter 5: 05 - Want Chapter 5: 05 - Want Autumn''s Point of View After the guard incident, we made our way to the elevator. I pushed the stroller inside the elevator and stopped outside it. Sir Jaxon raised a brow in confusion, ¡°What are you doing? Get in.¡± I shook my head and smiled shyly. ¡°I''m wet. I don''t want to mess up the elevator as well.¡± He chuckled. ¡°Such a caring heart, but I don''t mind. You''re my children''s caretaker, after all.¡± ¡°But, Sir Jaxon . . . .¡± As I was about to protest, he looked me straight in the eye, which stopped me to continue what I was about to say. ¡°This is mypany. You follow what I say. Now, get in,¡± he reasoned and made a hand gesture for me to get in quickly. I''m soaking wet. Water started dripping from my clothes down to the elevator floor. This is so embarrassing. His children on the stroller were reaching for me, but I moved away. ¡°No, sweeties. My clothes are still wet, and I can''t carry you guys. I might spread sickness.¡± From the corner of my eye, I saw Sir Jaxon''s lips move up, but when I looked at him, he''s back with his stone-cold expression. Was it just my imagination? The elevator door dinged. I pushed the stroller out. Sir Jaxon was walking right behind me. ¡°Let''s go to my office,¡± he ordered, and of course, I nodded. When we entered hisfort zone, he carried his children to the sofa and loosened his necktie. The children, I assume, felt the warmfort of the room because the heater was turned on, which made them sleepy. I shivered and hugged myself, I got soaked in the rain in exchange for the kids to be dry, I''m happy about that, but at the same time, I''m suffering because I feel cold even if the heater was already turned on. ¡°Take your clothes off,¡± he ordered. I stiffened and my whole body heated up. In just a minute, he took out a polo and gave it to me. ¡°Take your clothes off and wear this, I don''t want their caretaker to get sick,¡± he said with a serious face, but when my gaze shifted to his ears, those were pinkish red. Well . . . that''s weird. ¡°But I don''t have any skirt or undergarments as¡ª¡± He cut me off and asked. ¡°Is your lower undergarment wet?¡± He averted his gaze from me. ¡°No . . . not really,¡± I answered and looked down. I can''t look at him anymore because of such topics. ¡°Don''t mind the skirt, my polo is pretty much bigger than you. It''s enough to cover your lower half. Take a shower as well,¡± he answered and turned around, and pointed to the bathroom. ¡°Yes, sir,¡± I whispered and hurried to his office''s bathroom. The bathroom was big enough for three people. I guess you can get a double-sized bathroom if you''re rich. You could even sleep here. I giggled to myself and locked the door. I slowly stripped before entering the shower. Everything here had a golden lining, making me feel like I''m a queen by just bathing. I never thought that bathrooms could be in so much luxury. I turned the shower on using the red knob, which means that warm water wille out. As warm water rained on me, I felt better, and it feels like I''m in a sauna, a shower sauna, I guess? Yep, I don''t know how to describe my surroundings that much, it''s just a great feeling. Once I was done, I used the only towel, which was Sir Jaxon''s towel, and wore the polo he gave me. I reused my underwear and hung my wet clothes on a pole. I stepped out of the bathroom and saw him doing his work on his desk. The children are still ying on the sofa. When he noticed me, his eyes went wide, and averted his gaze from mine. I guess it is embarrassing when a woman wears your clothing. I walked over to his side for no reason and watched the view from up here. Below, the rain is scary, but up here, it looks like the sky is crying and it wasn''t its intention to hurt anybody. I touched the ss window as I looked at the rain continuously pouring over the city. I guess storms weren''t that scary if you watch it from a better view. ¡°Scary, but beautiful as well, isn''t it?¡± Sir Jaxon spoke behind me. ¡°I agree, sir.¡± I smiled at him and unexpectedly, he gave me back a smile, a genuine one. My heart started beating fast when he stood beside me. He didn''t talk nor touch me, but we were just inches apart, and his body heat was affecting me. I was just about to say something when the door opened. ¡°Sir Jaxon.¡± Sir Jaxon and I turned our heads in shock. A guy who is a staff member looked at us with wide eyes. ¡°I might be disturbing you, sir. I''m sorry.¡± ¡°It . . . it isn''t what you think!¡± I shouted and looked around for a ce to hide, but the sofa is just too far for me to run to. I panicked, but Sir Jaxon ced a hand on my shoulder. ¡°Get in. What do you want to say?¡± Sir Jaxon casually asked. ¡°You have an urgent meeting, Sir Parker¡± the man replied, looking down. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Alright, I''ll be leaving then, please take care of my children.¡± He nodded to me and I bowed my head. He walked over to the man and started exining that it isn''t really what he thought it to be. The man nodded and bowed to me as well as an apology. After that, they walked away, leaving me and the children alone. ¡°Why did it have to be like that.¡± I sighed and made my way to the sofa. Well at least . . . Sir Jaxon doesn''t have a dirty mind. Just a professional kind boss. Smiling at myself, I skipped my way to the cute children who looked tired from ying. ¡°Ma . . . ma.¡± They reached out to me with such sleepy eyes. I gently pat their heads andid down for them to use my arm as a pillow. Because the pillows here were too big for them to use. The other hugged then faced me, the other one held my thumb. These two kids are so lucky to have Sir Jaxon as their father. I continued to stare at their faces and within a few minutes, my eyes slowly closed, feeling a warmth in my chest. I would want to have children like them. Chapter 6: 06 - His Perspective Chapter 6: 06 - His Perspective Jaxon''s Point of View I exined things to the man who''s one of the staff in my hotel as he led me to where the urgent meeting was being held. An hour passed and finally, thepany''s problem was fixed. They just needed my permission to approve things. One by one, people left the room. Alone, I stared at the ceiling and thought about the caretaker of my kids, Autumn. My decision was right for giving her the job, I''m sure she''d be a great mother someday. I smiled to myself and stood up, exiting the room. As I walked through the halls, I remembered the fact that Autumn was wearing my polo at the moment. I hope no one walks in again for it would be another embarrassing moment for the both of us. Her looks and features of wearing my polo didn''t leave my head. It instead kept popping up and I can''t stop thinking about it. My cheeks burned and I covered my mouth with the back of my right hand. What is this feeling? This is so weird, I don''t like it. I shook my head and closed my eyes, making my way to myfort zone, my office. I opened the doors and was about to call Autumn when I realized she was fast asleep with my children on the sofa. ¡°Cute,¡± I blurted out. Wait, why did I say that? Again, I shook my head and then took my suit off. The rain still didn''t stop and even if the heater was turned on, I got to say that it wasn''t enough to warm me up. Thinking about Autumn''s exposed legs, I covered her up with my suit then knelt on the floor beside them. The three of them looked cute together. She looks like she''s their mother. Except that their real mother didn''t care about them. The bad thing is, these two kiddos didn''t feel their real mother''s love. Guess I made the right decision to hire a nanny on such short notice. I chuckled to myself. ¡°A nanny, huh?¡± Kissing the foreheads of my children, I stood up and sat down on my office chair, and started to work my ass off once again. * * * A few hours passed and finally, work is over for today, but Autumn and the children were still in a deep sleep. I guess they got tired from ying. I smiled and dialed the number of the reception area. ¡°Yes, Sir Jaxon? How can I help you?¡± the new receptionist asked. ¡°Get Luke up here in my office and get the ground floor cleared for half an hour, not even you should be there,¡± I answered and immediately put the phone down, not waiting for the woman to respond. Luke was the one who saw us earlier, saw her wearing my clothes with bare legs to be exact. He''s still pretty much young, but he must keep his mouth shut about that. I don''t want rumors spreading all over my hotel. ¡°You called for me, sir?¡± Luke asked as he opened the door. I raised my hand. ¡°Shhh, they''re sleeping.¡± ¡°Oh, I''m sorry,¡± he said in a hushed voice. ¡°Get the twins, gently put them in their stroller. Get that bag, myptop is in there. Wait for me at the elevator,¡± I ordered and he quickly did what I told him to do. I sighed and poked Autumn''s cheek. ¡°So you''re one of those people who sleeps like a log. ¡°Well then, upsy daisy, I''m going to carry a nanny.¡± I quietlyughed at my joke and left my office. As I walked straight down the hall, Autumn rubbed her cheek against my chest. For a moment, my world stopped. Why do I feel so drawn to this woman? I don''t get it. ¡°Sir Jaxon?¡± Luke asked from afar which snapped me out of my bubble. ¡°Oh, yeah,ing,¡± I answered and headed to where he was. When the elevator door opened, we got in. ¡°You seemed attached to this woman,¡± Luke said, grinning weirdly at me. ¡°What, Luke? I''m attached to all of you here.¡± I rolled my eyes at him, trying hard not to look at Autumn''s face. He wriggled his eyebrows. ¡°But not as attached as you are to her right now.¡± ¡°Luke,¡± I warned and red at him. ¡°What? You could''ve told me to carry her, but you decided to carry her yourself. Now tell me that isn''t odd as fuck.¡± He continued to wriggle his eyebrows. In annoyance, I lightly nudged him with my elbow. ¡°She''s their nanny. It''s her first day. She''s tired and I thought that it was my time to work out, so why not carry a woman?¡± I answered and the elevator dinged. As it opened, Luke nudged me back. ¡°Deny all you want, but I''m gonna believe that you got a thing for the nanny, sir.¡± ¡°Whatever,¡± I simply answered. We walked out of the elevator and headed towards the big exit door. No one was around, the ground floor is quiet, the guard isn''t around as well. They''re getting better at obeying now. After putting Autumn on the front of the passenger seat, I ced the seat belt around her. She''s still fast asleep. She is a log, just like my twins. ¡°Thanks, Luke.¡± I patted his shoulder when he''s done setting my children at the back. ¡°No problem, sir. Oh, please, take care of this missy here,¡± he teased. I rolled my eyes. ¡°Shut up. She''s the caretaker of my twins. That''s all there is to it, period,¡± I answered and lightly punched his shoulder. ¡°Whatever you say, sir, whatever you say,¡± He answered, still teasing me. I hopped onto the driver''s seat, rolled the window on Autumn''s side. ¡°Get back to work, all of you,¡± I ordered. He gave me a salute that made me smile before I sped off. * * * The gates opened when I got home. I parked my car. I carried the twins out first inside the house and to their room. I got back to the car, turned the car off, and then carried Autumn. Since I don''t have anyone besides me and the kids in the house, maybe I''d give her the room just beside mine. That room was designed to be girlish. There''s nothing bad about Autumn sleeping there, right? I nodded to myself, answering my question. Yeah, I guess I am a weird. When I entered the room, it was still as clean as before. It''s been a while since I came in here. No one sleeps in this room even though I hire people to tidy and clean everything in the house once a week. I was a few steps away from the bed when I felt Autumn''s head move. When I looked at her, she was awake with wide eyes and a stupidly shocked face. Well, this isn''t good. From her reflexes, she tried to push me and get off of my grasp, but since I was too worried about her falling on the floor, I still lost my bnce, but we made it on the bed. The only bad thing is, I''m on top of her and my lips were ced on hers. Her eyes widened and I could tell that she was confused about whether to p me and push me away or stay like that so she couldn''t hurt her boss. I scrambled away from her, it''s not like she''s the only one who was shocked here for fuck''s sake. She immediately sat up, and from her pale-colored face, it immediately scaled up to be red as a tomato. Oh god, what did I do? I literally, but identally kissed a caretaker! Someone that I''m not in a rtionship with. What if it''s her first? I don''t know! ¡°I...I''m sorry, Autumn, I didn''t mean to.¡± My cheeks burned and I averted my eyes away from her. ¡°Yeah . . . I understand, sir,¡± she replied. We stayed like that, too embarrassed to do anything for the fear of turning into another disaster. ¡°Well, don''t think about it too much, it was an ident, and I''m so sorry for that. I lost my bnce and I didn''t want you to fall on the floor, I''m sorry,¡± I quickly answered, trying to pull myself together and act cool.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Of course, sir. I''m sorry as well, because of me, we ended up in a situation like this,¡± she answered with her head down. ¡°Well then, it''s gonna be a long day tomorrow. Please do take some rest once again. Oh, by the way, this will be your room.¡± And with that, I left her alone and headed to my room. I mmed my door shut and dove onto the bed. ¡°Why does a person who sleeps like a log need to wake up at a time like that?¡± I asked the nothingness in my room. And why the hell did the gods decide to make us kiss that way? I buried my head on my favorite pillow and groaned. My whole face is still heating up. So fucking embarrassing. Chapter 7: 07 - First Kiss Chapter 7: 07 - First Kiss Autumn''s Point of View I stared at the door where Jaxon, my boss, just closed as he left. I touched my lips and blinked a few more times. ¡°I should''ve stayed still, but why the hell am I in his arms?¡± I asked myself out loud. The realization then hit me... that''s my first kiss! Well my first kiss in this life, I don''t know if I already kissed someone before. Iid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, ¡°But his scent is really nice.¡± Smiling, I rolled over a few times before standing up, picking up his suit that fell on the floor earlier. I dusted it off and then put it on top of a chair, ¡°I''ll give this back tomorrow.¡± I took the remote of the aircon on the table and turned it on, it''s hot even though it rained so much earlier. Then I jumped onto the bed and appreciated it''s softness. ¡°Ahh, I feel like I''m in heaven.¡± I sighed andid down, rolling over and over again. Who knew that I would finally sleep on such a decent bed? Something soft and with very pretty covers. This is very dream-like to be honest... I got under the sheets with my eyes already closed, I just woke up from sleep earlier, but thefort of this bed is making me sumb to sleep once again. Whatever, tomorrow is a big day, I need lots of rest to start the day off with a st. * * * My eyes opened and I was shocked that the room is so nice. I sat up and stared at the ceiling. ¡°Oh, right, I''m having a new life now.¡± I giggled and stretched my arms. I looked at the mini rm clock near me and it''s just 6:00 am. Well, I don''t really mind, I slept a lot Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. yesterday and that''s not really nice for I''m just a caretaker. Add the fact that my boss carried me to bed and because ofmye being stupid we idently kissed. And that''s not right! It''s a huge red g! Like how can I talk to Sir Jaxon like usual? I don''t know anymore. Getting tensed, I stood up and then I realized I was still wearing his polo. My face felt extremely hot and when I looked at the mirror, my face was already turning red. Ugh! I hate this feeling of awkwardness and embarrassment. I pped both of my cheeks and motivated myself, ¡°I can do this.¡± I then started showering and making myself presentable forter. Half an hour passed with me getting myself ready. As I dried my hair, I realized that my bag isn''t here. ¡°Well, there could be clothes in the cab?¡± I opened the cab and it did have a few in it, but only maid outfits. Why the hell is it here though? Sir Jaxon doesn''t have maids right? So why? Nevertheless, I wore it and when I looked at myself in the mirror, it was for cosy, not actually for stuff like I thought it was. But... it''s better than wearing Sir Jaxon''s polo with my legs exposed. This one is a bit long and to be exact, it''s above the knee, if I wore the polo, it would look like I''m seducing him or something or I might get mistaken as his wife. Wouldn''t want another embarrassing experience here. I stepped out of the room which is now mine, ording to what Sir Jaxon said, and walked straight to the kitchen, I turned the lights on and started cooking breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bread, hotdogs and coffee. I then readily put the cereals for babies on the table so whenever they are awake, I can feed them right away. I looked at the clock on the hall to check the time and it was now 7 o''clock. Well... I really did wake up early. I resumed cooking and once I was ting it neatly, a voice startled me. ¡°You woke up early, huh?¡± Sir Jaxon asked and sat on a stool opposite from me which is on the other side of the counter. ¡°Y-yeah. I slept a lot yesterday too, it''ll be better for me to pay your kindness for carrying mest night.¡± I bowed my head and started cooking my food next. ¡°No problem, you seemed really tired too so I didn''t bother to wake you up, but I''m still sorry for what happened...you know the¡ª¡± Sir Jaxon started off. ¡°Y-yeah... It''s alright, sir.¡± I smiled at him, trying to hide my embarrassment and nervousness. I turned my back at him and started cooking once again, but I felt his hard gaze upon me which made me ufortable. ¡°Where''d you get that?¡± He asked. I swallowed hard and answered once I was finished cooking my breakfast, ¡°Get what, sir?¡± ¡°The one you''re wearing.¡± He eyed me up and down which made my embarrassment meter go higher than before. ¡°Ah, my bag wasn''t in the room that''s why I checked the cab and saw this.¡± I exined to him as I tried my best to keep my cool. ¡°I see... well it looks good on you,¡± he smiled, ¡°I guess I made the right decision to make you room in my cousin''s vacation room whenever shees home from the states. She uses it for her cosy party stuff.¡± ¡°Thank you, sir. Should I make it my uniform then?¡± I asked and started eating in front of him since it looked like he isn''t the type to look down on people. ¡°Wear what you like, I don''t really mind.¡± He answered with such a straight face and once we were done eating, he took his te and ced it on the sink. Suddenly, we heard crying from upstairs. ¡°I guess... that''s my call.¡± Iughed and he did as well, I ced my te on the sink as well and rushed upstairs. The two were crying so loudly until they saw me, they suddenly stopped and started saying the words I usually hear from them, ¡°Ma...ma.¡± I carried the both of them up, they may be heavy, but I can somehow carry them on each arm. The one I was carrying on the right kissed my cheek and the one on the left was ying with my hair. I just smiled at them and slowly walked down the stairs. Once I reached the kitchen, I made them sit on their very own chairs and got them close to the counter. I started feeding them my very own homemade cereal, but their father is nowhere to be seen which made me wonder, he didn''t even go upstairs. ¡°Yeah? I don''t care. I ain''t meeting up with you. No, just no. Not in the mood, bye.¡± Those are the words that boomed in the living room. Seems like he''s avoiding someone, well, he''s a busy man, I can''t me him. ¡°Herees the airne.¡± I hovered the spoon above one of the cuties and then slowly made it to one''s mouth. I also did the same for the other and as they chewed, then pped, wanting for more. My mouth formed a grin out of the happiness I''m feeling for these two, it''s like they''re really my children. ¡°Autumn?¡± Sir Jaxon asked, going back to the kitchen. ¡°Yes sir?¡± I asked, looking away from the twins. ¡°Please do take care of them. Don''t go out for now because I think it''ll rain hard again.¡± He ordered and I only nodded He smiled at me and was about to climb the stairs when I called out to him, ¡°Sir, Jaxon, what are their names by the way? I didn''t get to ask itst time.¡± ¡°Oh, right. The chubby one is Summer and the slim one is Winter.¡± He answered and hurriedly went upstairs this time. Guess he really is in a rush. I fed them lots since they didn''t seem like they wanted to stop eating, do they really love my cereals that much? ¡°Summer?¡± I called out and the little boy looked over to me with such wondering eyes. Hehe, cute. ¡°And then you''re winter.¡± I smiled at the little girl and she pped and once I got closer, she poked my nose gently. Cuties, just cuties. Once they were done eating, I washed up the dishes and their father said goodbye. What should I do now except for spending time and ying with them? Chapter 8: 08 - Another Day Chapter 8: 08 - Another Day Autumn''s Point of View It''s been an hour since he said to me that I should wait for him to finish his work; therefore, we can go home that night and we will eat in some fancy restaurant that I declined. I am happy if I''m the one who will cook for him, that makes us like we are eating well. I''m hoping too. ¡°Sorry, there is just an emergency that happened in the office, and it''s quite depressing. By the way, where are my children?¡± He asks while stress has upied his whole face how I wish that I have my children to take care of and relieve my stress. ¡°They are sleeping, should I wake them up; therefore, their father will have a smile buried on his face. They don''t want their da da to be sad, right?¡± I answered while smiling at him, well, I just want to see his smile. It''s like an addiction; he sighed and faked a smile. I tried to stand up, and I didn''t know my body started to do what it wanted and hugged him. ¡°Don''t think about the hug I did, but you need to rx. Let''s go, and I will cook for you, ¡± I said while smiling at him, ignoring the heat I''m feeling to my body. Well, I distanced myself and started to push the stroller. The day was so fast to end, and as the day goes by, it''s hard to earn money but, one thing for sure is a billionaire is so hard to sustain your business. We started walking in the parking lot of hispany; he began to say a word that I didn''t fully hear. ¡°Can you repeat it, I don''t quite understand it, ¡± I said while frowning my brows because it is evident that he lowered his voice, so I can''t hear it. ¡°I don''t say anything, Ms Saunders, ¡± He acted innocently that I began to go to his side and tickled him that made himugh. Oh, I don''t even think that I will have a chance to bond with a Billionaire. That''s a lot of luck, I could say. ¡°You can go first, Ma''am, ¡± He jokingly said and opened the door of the backseat. I just hold his hand and went inside, he gave me the twins, and I kept it with both of my hands afraid to wake them up while he started to pick the stroller and put it in the back of the car. ¡°Are you okay?¡± He asks while sitting in the driver seat. I just nodded, trying to forget what I did earlier. ¡°Can we go to the marketce? I will just buy ingredients for dinner, ¡± I asked him but, he just smiled at me and shook his head. Material ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No, you should rest with the twins while I will be the one who will buy the ingredients, ¡± He said. I will try to answer because he needs a rest too but he just stops me. ¡°Rest assured, I will rest while you''re cooking, ¡± He said, and I don''t have any choice but to agree. I will sleep for a while because he is still driving, and my eyes start to close. ¡°Wake up, we are here,¡± A voice wakes me up and I don''t know how many minutes I sleep but my hands are free to move because he is holding the now two baby in both of his hands. What the heck, He should have seen how I sleep, and it''s quite embarrassing. ¡°Sorry about that,¡± I apologised to him but, he just smiled at me and answered, ¡°I don''t mind, and besides, you look cute when you''re sleeping,¡± He jokingly said andugh. I started to roll my eyes and got on his side. ¡°What a magnificent name, okay, let''se in. It''s gettingte Mr Parker, ¡± I say while smiling at him and offering my hand but, he justughs. Maybe I''m his happiness now, just kidding. That''s hard to imagine because he is a freaking billionaire while me, I''m just a slum. When we got inside, he started to drop Summer in their bedroom while giving them a peck of a kiss. ¡°I will just buy groceries; you can rest for a while and by the way what snacks do you want?¡± He said while ying the keys in his hand, do I need to choose my snacks. It''s embarrassing because I''m just his caretaker and I have the guts to make him buy things for me. ¡°No, I will just buy things tomorrow, and you don''t have to buy me snacks, ¡± I said, but he just frowned. ¡°That''s not a big deal besides, you''re one of my family now, and this is just my treat for taking care of my children, ¡± He assured me but, for me, this is my job he doesn''t need to be thankful. I should be the one who should thank him because of giving me the opportunity even though; I didn''t make it in the Receptionist position but, this is so much higher in that, and I don''t know that I will have a chance to get to live with a hot billionaire. When he left, I started to look in the mirror. Oh my, he didn''t even tell me that I look like a witch because of my face. My hair is a mess, and my make-up is ruined. That''s so embarrassing. I started to run in thefort room to wash my face andb my hair; when I go back, the twins are sleeping peacefully. This is the time they should bathe, but, I will just wait for Jaxon, so I have apanion. It''s hard to shower two kids in the bathtub. I was shocked when the phone of Jaxon in the living room, well he has a phone for his business too. I don''t want to read what it is but my curiosity filled me and now, I''m reading it. Spring: Hi, Jaxon, how are you? What happened to our children, do you take care of them? Spring? She is so familiar to me. Who is she? Chapter 9: 09 - Her Twin, Spring Chapter 9: 09 - Her Twin, Spring Autumn''s Point of View The cute little kiddos yed in the living room, giggling, pping, and sometimes ignoring me. I sighed, I wonder what my future would look like, would I still be working as a caretaker? The kids didn''t look for me when I went to go to the restroom so I decided to clean the house, checking on them every now and then. You see, the house may look clean as fuck, but some parts are dusty and I guess, Sir Jaxon doesn''t have that much time to clean specific rooms. I guess it suits my outfit anyway, a ck maid dress that is more for cosy. I might get addicted to this, y with myself using outfits, why not? Firstly, I cleaned the garage, where I could still get a good view of the kids. From time to time, the kids stare at me and ps and I dance around, make funny faces to entertain them. When they get tired of watching me, they would eventually do their own business and I can freely clean the house''s surroundings. After that, I headed towards the kitchen, arranging the order of seasonings, tes, the stuff that''s supposed to be in a specific cab. I guess, Sir Jaxon is a mess in his own way. I giggled at the thought and found more motivation to clean the house, since he ordered me to stay here and not go out, so why not? I hummed as I cleaned the living room, the twins were busy ying with each other, how are they even 1 year old without being the typical cry babies? Well, at least it''s less of a problem for me. I went to Sir Jaxon''s office, it''s ced just near the stairs, with a ss window that shows the garden. It was neat, but some papers were lying on the floor and a few nts on the side which are close to dying. Before doing anything else, I took a pitcher from the kitchen, filled it up, and watered all those nts. If I used the watering can outside, it would be a wet mess in here, so I chose the pitcher instead. After that, I took the pieces of paper, and out of curiosity, I opened the crumpled ones, it had the writings that I assume is from Sir Jaxon. The letter was filled with declining the proposal... of his parents? Before I could read more, I realized that it''s his personal matter and I''ve got nothing to do with it. ¡°Damn it, Autumn. Why the heck are you keeping your nose into some personal matters?¡± I scolded myself and threw the crumpled paper away and fixed the ones that are good on the table. I left the room with the pitcher to put it back in the kitchen, even though curiosity kept bugging me, I shook it off and went upstairs to visit other rooms. I quickly finished the guest rooms that were a bit dusty, speeding to shelves and bathrooms, because I don''t want to leave the twins for too long. I went to a room filled withputers and some arcade machines, I wonder how he gets to y with such a busy schedule? Add the fact that he''s got, children. I really don''t understand him. I cleaned each keyboard and the sides of the monitors, dusting the tables and then the huge machines on one side of the room. Suddenly, the bell of the house rang and rang until it suddenly stopped. A visitor? Oh god, what am I gonna say? I quickly got out of the gaming room and went to my own room, freshening myself up so I became so sweaty. After that, I ran down the stairs and saw a woman in front of the children. ¡°Why are you guys alone here? Where''s your father? I want to talk to him¡± The woman said and pinched the chubby one''s cheeks. Immediately, chubby cutie cried, making the other one cry as well. I rushed to their side and tried to calm them down, they stopped and looked at me for a second then continued crying once again, this time, with the usual words I hear from them. ¡°Mama!¡± They cried, dragging the A for I don''t know how long. ¡°And who...are you?¡± The woman asked me, making me turn around. Her eyes widened when she saw my face and I looked at her with confusion. What the heck is going on? ? ©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤ ? ©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤ ? Spring''s Point of View I looked at the person in front of me with wide eyes, why is she here? Why is she dressed like that? Does Jaxon know that I ain''t the mother of his children? Many questions ran through my head, the woman only looked back at me with confusion as the twins continued to cry. ¡°Autumn? Is that you?¡± I asked, my body shaking and my heart beating fast. ¡°H-how do you know my name?¡± She asked with great surprise. Wait for what? ¡°W-what do you mean, you''re me¡ª¡± I stopped myself from saying anything more, did she forget me? ¡°I am your what? As long as I remember, I haven''t met anyone like you before, miss.¡± She answered with such an innocent face, eventually carrying the twins on each of her arms as she danced them around, effectively, they calmed down. ¡°I just...¡± Still, I couldn''t speak aplete sentence out, what the hell is wrong with me? She then smiled at me and ced the twins back on the sofa and immediately, the two minded their own business, ¡°You shouldn''t have done that. These two don''t want hard pinches.¡± I looked at her with terror, why the fuck is she here?! ¡°Hello? Miss?¡± She waved her hand in front of me which made me snap out of the trance of such terror. ¡°O-oh... I might''ve mistaken you for somebody else.¡± I answered and she smiled innocently. Is she making fun of me? She can''t possibly forget me, after all the times that she left me alone, to handle twins?! Before I knew it, I snapped. I attacked her, wrapped my hands around her neck and we fell onto the floor. ¡°You ruined my life!¡± I screeched, her shocked face, her hair, her beauty, her twins... I hate them all! My vision changed, all I saw was red, anger, my hands tightly wrapped around this woman''s neck, my freaking sister who I loved so much destroyed my life! The door mmed open and I snapped my head towards the door, there he is, Jaxon, a terrifying face stered on his face. ? ©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤ ? ©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤ ? Material ? N?velDrama.Org. Autumn''s Point of View The woman stared at me for quite a while which made me just smile at her innocently, like... she''s a stranger to me, but she may be someone who is dear to Sir Jaxon, I need to be polite. I could tell that her mind was loading, possibly shocked at the sight of me. I guess the twins having a caretaker is rare. Suddenly, she jumped onto me, strangling me to death, I tried to take her hand off, but she didn''t budge. ¡°You ruined my life!¡± She screeched, looking at me with such anger. Who is this person? Tears started to form in my eyes and my vision went blurry, I can''t breathe! Then I became dizzy, my head was fuzzy and some wet substance is what I felt somewhere on my head. I touched where the pain was, and there was liquid, I lifted my shaking hands and saw red, it was blood. Fear upied my head, am I gonna die? ¡°He¡ª Help...¡± I croaked and the woman only gripped and pushed me harder on the floor. I tried to knee her center, but it was no use, I''m bing too weak to fight. My vision was getting more blurry, but then a sudden bang was what I heard, I moved my head a little and saw a figure... a figure of a man. The hand loosened a bit on the neck, ¡°H-help...¡± I said weakly and then on, my vision clearly went ck. Chapter 10: 10 - Friends Chapter 10: 10 - Friends Jaxon''s Point of View As I drove to where my house is, I noticed that the small gate was opened, so I decided to park outside first and then enter. I waited for the engine to cool before turning it off and stepping out of the car, I then smiled at the thought of seeing the twins with their nanny in a maid costume. When I closed the gate, I saw Autumn falling on the floor hard, someone strangling her. My eyes went wide, who the hell got in here?! I panicked and ran, it was a good thing that the wall that the door is ced on had to see through the ss in it. I burst open the door and saw Spring strangling Autumn. ¡°H-help...¡± Autumn called out before cking out, my brows furrowed and it angered me more when I saw blood flowing from Autumn''s head. The twins were crying and Spring still continued to strangle her as she looked at me. I didn''t have a choice, I pushed her away from Autumn. Spring stayed still on the spot where I pushed her, her hands trembling and when I looked her in the eye, she wasn''t sane, she was still in her bloodlust mode. But why Autumn? What the hell happened here? I gentlyid Autumn''s head on myp, blood-stained my pants, but I didn''t care, I need her treated. I took my phone out and dialed Luke''s number, it rang three times until he finally answered it, ¡°Come to my house, it''s an emergency, quick!¡± Luke lived near us, so it would be great My heart started to beat faster than normal, I can''t lose her. She''s still young... I just can''t. I red at Spring who just came back to her senses, she looked back at me with terror in her eyes as she noticed Autumn''s unconscious body. Luke came bursting in, shock reced the curiosity in his eyes and he then stopped on the door, not moving ¡°Take the children, quick,¡± I ordered him, and immediately, Luke sped off to where my car is parked. Before I left the room, Spring called me out, ¡°Jaxon, I-I''m sorry, I didn''t¡ª¡± ¡°Shut up and leave my house,¡± I looked back and red at her, ¡°I despise you.¡± And I left her alone, with a lot of mixed feelings like hate, worry, fear, and more. I went to the backseat and ced Autumn inside, the kids were on the corner, a bit calmed down, but still in shock. I sighed and faced Luke, ¡°Drive the car.¡± ¡°Wait, what, sir?¡± He stared at me, but I didn''t talk again, which made him start the car, pressed on the gas, and sped off. * * * I''ve been waiting for about half an hour and the doctor still didn''t leave the room. He told me to wait for him toe out and well... I''m an impatient man most of the time. A chair away from me is look and the twins, the twins finally calmed down upon seeing a friendly face which is Luke''s. But how the heck did Spring got inside my house? Does she have a key? I don''t know. ¡°Sir.¡± Luke looked at me with worry. I just smiled at him, ¡°Jaxon is fine when we''re outside of work.¡± He cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head, ¡°Umm...yes, Si¡ª Jaxon. What exactly happened to, Miss Autumn?¡± I looked away from him and stared at my hands, ¡°Strangled by the woman who was at my house earlier, I don''t why she did that either.¡± ¡°The woman...¡± It took him a few seconds to realize, ¡°Is she the CEO of the Flower Company thing?¡± I nodded my head and patted the twins as I thought about reasons why Spring did that, she almost killed Autumn, to be honest. ¡°Then what was the CEO of the Flower Company doing at your ce?¡± ¡°I don''t know, she was probably looking for me.¡± ¡°Then¡ª¡± My voice slowly raised on every word I said, ¡°She was supposed to marry me okay? Our parents wanted that, she was stubborn, she didn''t want me because she had someone else and I don''t care for I''m not looking for love!¡± I breathed heavily and just realized that I''ve told Luke all the things that weren''t supposed to leak. He only bowed his head and whispered an apology, ¡°I''m sorry, sir.¡± ¡°N-no... it''s fine, I''m just stressed, that''s all.¡± I then looked away, ¡°Also don''t tell anyone about that.¡± I then literally facepalmed myself, ugh, what the heck? Luke then burst outughing, ¡°I know you''re worried about Autumn, but I guess you still have that funny side on you, sir.¡± I smiled at his words, ¡°Will you stop calling me, ''Sir'' and ''Sir Jaxon''?¡± ¡°I just can''t, sir.¡± He then chuckled and started ying with the kids as he talked, ¡°I''m younger than you, sir.¡± I rolled my eyes at him, ¡°Shut up, you''re a friend of mine and age doesn''t matter so quit it.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah, whatever.¡± He grinned and carried the twins, bing obsessed with their cheeks. Then suddenly, the door to Autumn''s room opened and the doctor came out. ¡°Hello, are you one¡ª¡± The doctor started to ask which I answered immediately even though his sentence wasn''t finished yet. ¡°No, I am her boss and she lives with me.¡± The doctor nodded, ¡°She''s still unconscious, but she''s all good now. The back of her head bled out of a really small wound that''s why it isn''t really a big deal. She''d wake up soon, give her 3 days here to be monitored and let her rest. If you''ll excuse me.¡± The doctor quickly exined and then left when I nodded. ¡°Let''s get inside,¡± I told Luke and opened the door for him to enter with my children. Autumn was of course, unconscious, her messy hair and maid outfit was the one she still wore. The nurse nodded at us and then handed me... Autumn''s phone? It was pretty much an old kind of phone, by old, I mean an android that''s close to being outdated. I sighed and sat beside her, ¡°What happened?¡± I noticed Luke staring at me, but I didn''t pay him any attention. I took Autumn''s hand on mine, ¡°You''re still gonna take care of those two cuties, you''re still gonna reach your dreams. Wake up soon, Autumn.¡± And as I expected, she didn''t open her eyes. Again, I sighed, her phone buzzed, I didn''t know what I was doing, but I checked it out. It was a message from a friend, I suppose, ''Hey, Autumn, what''s up?'' I frowned and looked at the unconscious Autumn in front of me, ¡°I''m sorry, Autumn because of just snoop around your personal stuff.¡± I called the number and the person immediately answered, ¡°Hey! It''s rare for you to call me first, what''s up?¡± It took me a second before I could answer, I simply didn''t know what to say. ¡°Hey, I''m her boss. I''ll send the address about where she is now, you need toe, she''s in the hospital.¡± I said in a calm tone, it took her a while before she said okay and when she did, I immediately hung up. After that, I texted the location as I and Luke looked at each other. ¡°What now?¡± Luke asked. I gave him a sad and tired smile, ¡°We wait.¡± An hour already passed and Autumn is still not awake which made me sigh for the hundredth time as I stood up from the chair near Autumn and sat on the long sofa. It isn''t thatfortablepared to my seats in the house, but this could do... temporarily. The door opened and I expected it was the doctor, but when I turned my head to look, it was a woman, this woman surely Autumn''s friend. ¡°Autumn!¡± She eximed and rushed to where she is, she grabbed her hand and tears flowed down her cheeks. I felt awkward, it''s like she was about to use me. On cue, Autumn''s friend red andunched at me. Yeah, my guess was right. She pulled my necktie and shouted, ¡°What did you do to her?!¡± Instantly, Luke pulled her away from me and I couldn''t look her in the eye, it''s partly my fault anyway. She was alone with the kids. ¡°I wasn''t the one who did that to her, I was the one who saved her,¡± I exined in such a t tone. With that, she let go of me and whispered, ¡°Sorry.¡± I only nodded my head and when she started to ask questions about what happened, I answered them all as the two, Luke and Autumn''s friend, listened carefully. ¡°Yeah, that''s all that I got to see.¡± She nodded and faced her friend once again. ¡°Poor Autumn....¡± She whispered and went back to her side. I sighed and thought about the things that I would do next. I don''t have a fucking clue, I can''t leave the kids, I can''t leave Autumn either. For fuck''s sake, this is so messed up! ¡°Sir, what would we do now?¡± Luke asked. ¡°Go to my house, get a few clothes, for me and the kids. You know where I keep my clothes anyway.¡± I told him and he smiled. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°I sure do.¡± He let the kids down and walked towards me. I gave him the key to the house and my car keys as well, ¡°Be sure that the woman isn''t there, once you leave lock every door.¡± He nodded and with that, he left. I guess I won''t be working tomorrow then... I opened my eyes and the only light-emitting in the room is from themp near Autumn, I looked around and saw the twins with Autumn''s friend who introduced herself as Lea earlier, sleeping on the other couch which is on the other side of Autumn. I guess I fell asleep, Luke wasn''t around which isn''t really a big deal. He probably had gone home or something. I stood up and stretched my arms, how long did I sleep? I took my phone out of my pocket, at 5 am. Well, I guess I was so tired that I slept like a log yesterday. I sat on the chair near Autumn and held her hand, ¡°Please wake up, the twins will miss their cosyer nanny, you know?¡± As soon as I said that, her eyes opened which almost made me shout in joy. ¡°Cosyer nanny? That''s funny.¡± She croaked, I immediately gave her a ss of water and she epted it right away. ¡°How are you feeling?¡± I smiled at her and awkwardly let go of her hand. ¡°Fine.¡± She forced a smile and I frowned. ¡°For now, don''t treat me like your boss, it''s fine,¡± I whispered and then a tear appeared from her eyes as it slowly slid down her cheek. ¡°It''s alright now, you''re safe, you''re safe,¡± I assured her and this time, she held my hand and then sobbed, she tried to keep quiet, but I know it''s hard because of what she had gone through yesterday. Without even thinking, I went to hug her, not tight, but enough to make her feel warm and safe. For now... I''m a friend, not her boss, but someone that she can rely on until she recovers. Chapter 11: 11 - Happiness Chapter 11: 11 - Happiness Autumn''s Point of View ¡°Autumn!¡± A voice of a girl shouted, she looked like me, but we had a bit of differences. I smiled at her and she hugged me. ¡°I missed you, Spring.¡± I said happily. ¡°I missed you too, sister.¡± She then pulled me towards a house that felt familiar, but didn''t look familiar. You get what I mean? ¡°Mom and Dad! She''s back!¡± The girl named Spring, who is also currently pulling me, shouted. I looked down once we got to where they are. ¡°Where did you go?¡± My mother asked. ¡°Somewhere.¡± I simply answered, but of course, they''d never buy it. ¡°Somewhere for a week?¡± My father asked with a brow raised. I clenched my fists. ¡°Yeah, so what?¡± I answered, trying hard to not go berserk in front of them. Mother rolled her eyes, ¡°Let''s get in. All she''d ever done was to make trouble anyway, I don''t really care where she''d gone to.¡± With that, my father nodded and they walked inside the house without ever looking back at me. Ever since, I always shouldered the mistakes of my sister. She mostly had faults and was prone to making wrong decisions. I was always there to back her up and me all the wrong things she''d done to myself. She''s fragile, she doesn''t know how to defend herself, she''s a princess and as for me.... I''m a sister who never really had a chance to do something for myself, add the fact that she doesn''t even defend me. I broke away from my sister''s grasp which made her look at me with confusion, ¡°What? What''s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just thought that you''d somehow defend me to our own parents, but nevermind, you can''t do it.¡± She''s the favourite child, she''s the one they praise, all because I don''t excel much on the subjects that they chose for us both to take. Yep, like a college thingy in highschool. Only rich people could do. I walked inside and headed upstairs, to our room, everything''s so pretty and I''m the opposite. Oh, did I mention that we''re twins? Yeah, twins, but we still had features that are of course, not the same. Oh, taste of style as well. She ran after me and then hugged me once again, this time, I pushed her away which made her frown, ¡°What''s wrong with you?¡± ¡°I''m dirty, you shouldn''t hug me, I''d only ruin the look of what you''re wearing right now.¡± I coldly told her. She then made me face her, ¡°But you were just hugging me earlier.¡± I clicked my tongue at her and headed to our bathroom. ¡°I''m sorry,¡± She looked down, ¡°for being the favourite child.¡± I faced her with tears streaming down my cheeks, shocked at what she said. ¡°It''s all because of the course that they gave us.¡± She exined, ¡°I had the skills they liked, but they never considered where and what type of thing that you''re really suited for.¡± I then smiled at her, ¡°It''s fine. I''m sorry for being rude to you, but I''m tired of this life.¡± Then everything slowly faded and my vision turned ck, feeling a pair of hands on my mine. So it''s all just a dream? ¡°Please wake up, the twins will miss their cosyer nanny, you know?¡± A very familiar voice said. I slowly opened my eyes and smiled when Jaxon, my boss came into view, ¡°Cosyer nanny? That''s funny.¡± His face lit up and he immediately gave me a ss of water for my voice wasn''t good it was rather croaky. ¡°How are you feeling?¡± He asked smiling and as if he just realized that he was holding me, he awkwardly let my hand go. I then gave him a forced smile, ¡°Fine.¡± Right then, he frowned which made me have jumbled feelings inside. ¡°For now, don''t treat me like your boss, it''s fine.¡± He gently whispered and then a tear slowly slid down my cheek as the memories of yesterday came shing back. ¡°It''s alright now, you''re safe, you''re safe.¡± He assured me which made me unconsciously hold his hand and then I sobbed, trying my best to keep it down. He then suddenly hugged me, his body heat is rxing that I hugged him back. Like he wanted to, I''ma treat him as a friend... even just for a little while. * * * After those crying sessions, I fell asleep after, it was like the sleep that I had was still not enough. The dream was still the same, no cut outs, no difference, still me and the person named Spring. I then woke up and the curtains are opened and the sun was shining on, Sir Jaxon''s face this time. He looks...cute. I lightly pped my cheeks. What the hell Autumn? ¡°Oh, you''re awake.¡± My friend Lea whispered. ¡°You okay? This boss of yours had been sleeping for quite a while beside you.¡± She smirked and wriggled her eyebrows. ¡°Shut up, Lea.¡± I rolled my eyes and clicked my tongue at her. She chuckled and then did I only realized that behind her, is the twins. ¡°They''re here?¡± ¡°Yeah, ever since yesterday. They didn''t really leave the room, especially that man beside you, what''s his name?¡± ¡°Jaxon Parker.¡± ¡°Oh, the one with the hotelpany thingy?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Again, she smirked, ¡°Do you... um.. you know, ki¡ª¡± Before she could say anything more, I red at her which made her shut her mouth. ¡°Are they the only one here? Then how about his house...¡± I thought of things deeply, the way the woman that strangled me looked like, this and that. ¡°Oh, nah, Mr. Jaxon Parker had an assistant with him, someone a bit younger? But they seem to be casual together.¡± Lea exined which made me collect my thoughts once again. Oh right, maybe it was the one who... The door suddenly opened and a very familiar face came into view. I blushed and looked away as Lea tilted her head in confusion. ¡°Well, that''s his assistant, Luke.¡± She then smiled and turned her attention to the twins. Luke gave me a small smile as he ced the box of donuts and 3 hot coffees on the table, ¡°Well, good morning, miss Autumn.¡± I smiled back and tried to stop myself from hiding under the sheets because of embarrassment. Sir Jaxon then woke up and stared at me for like 30 seconds. ¡°Oh, you''re alive.¡± He mumbled which I quickly caught and I rolled my eyes at him. ¡°Just kidding, chill.¡± He chuckled and stretched his arms upwards. ¡°You just woke up?¡± He asked. ¡°Yes, sir Jaxon.¡± I answered and for some reason, he looked like he didn''t want me to call him that, but I kept my mouth shut instead of pointing random things out. To have a conversation, I cleared my throat, ¡°Sir... Who was that woman?¡± His features became hard, did I trigger a switch? ¡°My supposed to be wife and the mother of the two.¡± He coldly answered. ¡°I see... what''s her name?¡± I asked, my heart pounding heavily. ¡°The Spring of a Devil.¡± Luke butted as he filled his mouth with donuts, not making Sir Jaxon to have a chance to answer. ¡°Spring, Spring Saunders.¡± Sir Jaxon corrected chuckling. ¡°Sir¡ª¡± Before I could speak, he raised a hand. ¡°Only Jaxon.¡± He then stood up and went to get his coffee on the table where Luke is currently eating. For some reason, I blushed, calling my boss with only his first name without any honorifics? Luke and Lea looked at each other for a split second and then they smiled at me with such mischievous expressions, ¡°Hey guys, I wanna get these two cuties more milk. Could youe with me Luke? I don''t really know my way throughout this part of the city.¡± I rolled my eyes at them and Luke simply smiled as he ate thest share of his donut, ¡°Shurr, my fweasure.¡± ¡°Do you mean, ''sure, my pleasure?''¡± I corrected and he grinned at me, showing his mouth filled with donuts. Such a pig. They then left us and the kids behind, but before the door could close, I saw them giving me a peace and finger heart signs. Such weirdos. How could they ship me and my boss? That''s such an absurd idea! ¡°Autumn?¡± Jaxon, my boss, called me out. I guess he noticed that I''m clenching my fists so hard. I rxed my hands and then sighed as I averted my gaze from my boss. Those two are really a pain in the ass. ¡°Mr. Par¡ª¡± ¡°What did I tell you?¡± ¡°But, sir, you''re my boss, I can''t possibly be casual with you...¡± ¡°Then I order you to speak casually with me whenever we are with friends that we can trust. Is that cool? ''Cause it''s pretty ufortable to be called as Sir and Mister when eyes aren''t really on me.¡± He exined, ¡°Plus it makes me feel really old.¡± ¡°Fine,¡± I giggled and rolled my eyes in a yful manner, ¡°Jaxon it is.¡± He smiled and walked to my side, patting my head. What the hell is he up to? ¡°Well, you''re safe now. I won''t let that womane close to you again.¡± He said, looking outside the window, his cheerful demeanor disappering, turning to something more cold as he moved away from me. Silence then came which made me ufortable, he sat on the sofa that''s on my right and the twins were at the sofa on the left, looking at me. They''re so cute! I wanna pinch them! I nned to stand up and then carry them, but I remembered the dextrose on my hand. I frowned, then an idea came into mind, since Mr. Parker who is also Sir Jaxon, wanted me to be casual, I might just use this chance for a bit. I cleared my throat which made him look up from the magazine that he''s currently scanning. ¡°H-hey, Jaxon. Will you please bring Summer and Winter to me? I can''t... you know¡ª stand up.¡± I sheepishly smiled. His eyes lit up, probably from me calling him by his name without any honorifics, childish, but cute. ¡°Of course.¡± He smiled, letting the magazine fall onto the sofa as he stood up and took the kids to me. ¡°Look you two, cosyer nanny wanted to y with you too.¡± He teased which made me giggle. ¡°Geez.¡± I said, responding to his silly words. I took the two and hugged them, I closed my eyes and savored their warm and cute bodies that''s currently warming my body and heart up. When I opened my eyes, Jaxon was still staring at me. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. His ears instantly became a pinkish color. I guess no one really hugs his children like this. A few hours passed until the two people who are partners in crime came back. They had milk, snacks, drinks and fruits. A doctor came to check on me afterwards and I got his permission to eat food that isn''t really from the hospital. We had like a family bonding thing, I''m actually shipping the crime masters now. Lea x Luke! My heart then warmed up, the twins on myp, my boss casually talking to me, the schemers I never knew that would be fun to be with, it was like we had known each other for so long. ¡°Autumn? You okay?¡± Jaxon asked, making me snap out of my thoughts. ¡°Yeah, I''m just happy that you''re all here.¡± I smiled and Jaxon gave me back the same smile. ¡°Or is it because sir¡ª¡± I red at Lea which made her giggle, ¡°Nevermind, tee-hee!¡± ¡°Are you an anime or something?¡± Luke then covered filled his mouth with cookies . ¡°Shut up, you pig.¡± Lea rolled her eyes. ¡°Mean!¡± Luke acted anime-ish this time which made us allugh. I''m so happy with them. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
