Babysitter for the CEO

The servants around quickly retreated and bowed their heads.

The staring contest amongst the three continued for a short while and then ended.

“Mummy, Daddy sent my uncles away. I was very sad but now, I met you. You are my angel. Muah!” the little cutie kissed Vanessa’s cheeks.

“Aww! That’s my girl. Now come, let’s go have some private fun time together.” she said with delight and took Lisa away. She never said a word of greeting to Jack.

“Stand right there.” he barked.

“Mind your tone, Mr Jack. If you don’t want to have a battle of whose mouth is more lethal, please, let us, mother and baby share some private precious moments together. Bye, loser!” she said and turned around to leave.

Jack couldn’t say a word. He just stared at her departing figure with his little bun and later sighed.

“At least, there won’t be nuisance. Let each one of us stay at our lanes.” he said and headed for his study.

Lisa’s room.

It was purely a princess room. A lot of things were pink or blue.

Today, Vanessa helped bathe Lisa and dry her hair.

She gave the babe some wonderful massage on her feet and kissed her forehead.

“Mummy?” Lisa called.

“Yes, sweetie. Anything wrong?”

“Err… I know my dad must have blackmailed you but I promise you won’t regret being my mommy.”

“Don’t worry. Mummy feels honored to even kiss your cheeks. I wanna ask that we never separate till you are ready to be protected by your prince charming.”

“I don’t want a prince charming. Mummy charming is better.” Lisa pouted.

“Yeah! Thanks for calling mummy charming. And now let me ask you. Can you promise to treat your dad nicely and not throw tantrums too often? I can tell that, despite his cold look, he loves you in his heart.” Vanessa said in a calm manner.

“Pei! I don’t believe. He thinks I’m a nuisance. He was glad to finally get some damn peace today…”

“Lisa, don’t curse.” Vanessa chided.

“Sorry mummy.”

“It’s okay. Changes don’t happen overnight. Let’s work hard together and deal daddy a sweet punch. We’ll sow him what he missed.”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, my little babe is all set. Be my model. Pose for mama. Let her have this honor.”

“Yeah! I’m the best model on Earth.” Lisa sprang into action.

“Hehe. You are the princess and I’ll be the queen model.”

After taking some pictures of Lisa in various heart melting poses, she carried the cutie and they took selfie’s together.

“Mom, the pictures are great. Let me take pictures of you.” Lisa pleaded.

“Alright. Let mama pose for you.”

Vanessa did some simple poses and she looked good in them.

After taking pictures of Vanessa, Lisa sneakily transferred them to her own phone and gave it back to Vanessa.

“Mommy, look at them. So pretty.”

“Yeah. You’ll make a good photographer.” Vanessa carried the little one and kissed her cheek.

“Such soft cheeks you got! I could kiss them all day.”

“You could faint from softness overload.” Lisa joked and thy both laughed.

“Mom, I suddenly remember something.”

Vanessa placed her down and she ran to her bag placed on a table to retrieve her phone.

“Wait a bit.” Lisa said and Vanessa sat on the bed.

“Ok? What do you wanna show me?”

Lisa started sending all the pictures she had taken today at the different places she went.

Soon enough, Vanessa’s phone beeped.

She took it and saw many pictures on her Whatsapp. She downloaded all of them and saw pictures Lisa took with her twin uncles at the amusement park, Haunted house, Restaurant, Cinema, Homes for the infirm and old etc.

“Wow! They are good. Who are those twins?” Vanessa inquired.

‘My uncles. You will meet them soon enough.” said Lisa.

As Vanessa scrolled further, she was stunned.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the pictures; one by one.

“Woah! Five stars.” she exclaimed. “I’m saving this one.”

Lisa took a look at Vanny’s phone to see that her mum had rated Jack Reynolds dressed as a maid with 5 stars.

“I like that one best too.” Lisa said excitedly.

Vanessa quickly sent the picture to Evelyn who nearly fell from her chair at home with mirth.

“Lisa, my dear, thank you for showing me this eye candy. I will use it to the maximum.”

“That’s great, mommy!”

“Let’s go downstairs to fetch something to fill our bellies.”

Vanessa carried Lisa at her back and placed her hands under the little one’s butt to support her.

Dining hall.

It was very large, spacious and tastefully furnished. Vanessa was in awe but quickly hid it. Jack scoffed and asked Lisa to sit close to him but she shook her head in refusal.

“I said… come here!” he said in a slightly mad tone.

“Dear,” Vanessa whispered to Lisa while petting her hair gently. “Don’t anger your dad. It’s bad for his health. Go and give him a hug and then say sorry to him. Alright? When you come back, you’ll get a big fat reward.”

“Ok, mommy.” Lisa nodded and left her seat.

She ran to her dad and hugged his stomach. He frowned and tried to remove her small hands but she refused.

He sighed and carried her so she sat on his laps.

“Okay, what are you up to now, little one?” he asked while taking a spoon to scoop the rice porridge. He blew on it tenderly and brought it to her mouth.

“Say Ah!” he said and she obeyed.

He then fed her the porridge and she licked her lips after consuming it.

“You like it?” he asked.

“Hmm Hmm!” she nodded vigorously and kissed her dad’s chin.

“Daddy, you’re the best!” she said and flew from her dad’s hold to a shocked Vanessa.

The moment she landed on her seat, she gasped.

“Oh my! I forgot to keep my secret. Oops!” she said and stared at Vanessa.

“You… can fly? You are a super kid!”

“Eh… I only do that when it’s necessary.”

“I’ll keep it a secret.” Vanessa swore but Lisa rolled her eyes.

Who was it that sent Jack’s ‘5 star’ picture to her bestie?

“I’m serious. This is top notch secret. I can’t bear to put you in danger. I’d rather be beaten…”

“Monk fish, just focus on eating. It could be your last meal.” Jack said with a frown.

“Last meal? Lisa’s father, what do you mean by that?” Vanessa asked unhappily.

“I think you are done eating. Come with me to the study. I have something important to discuss with you.” Jack rose up and walked out of the dining room. Lisa stared at her mommy.

“Calm down, mommy. He doesn’t mean any harm. Whenever he does this to me, it’s at most spanking and receiving a an earful of lethal lectures.” said Lisa.

“Oh. Lethal eh? I can do that. I’m done eating. Wait for my goodnews, dear.” Vanessa kissed Lisa’s cheeks tenderly and rubbed her hair causing Lisa to laugh.

She then followed Jack to his study.

Some minutes later, Vanessa pounced at Jack in ire and irritation. He told her that she had uneven hips, who knows she might transfer it to Lisa, causing her to have an uneven brain?

These words broke her last wall of sanity and she held his t-shirt.

“It’s worth $5000. Quite cheap. Will you pay?” he asked indifferently.

“You… I don’t care…”

“Currently, my heart is beating 5000 times per minute due to fear. Te emotional damages you are causing me could mean my taking a week off work to receive treatment and rehabilitation therapy, head massages. And if I ended up running like a mad on the streets after all that, even if it’s just for a minute, you can’t even imagine the punishment that you’ll get from…”

“I’m done with your damn excuses. Take this.” she tried to punch him but he held her hand.

Her strength was no match for him. She looked like a small cat trying to punch a tiger.

“Monk fish, you still won’t learn your lesson and wish to fight me. A new born calf indeed isn’t afraid of the lion.” he stated and she scoffed.

“I’m not a newborn calf.” she lowered her head to bite the hand that held hers from punching his damn face.

“You…” he quickly threw her to the ground and put his hand close to his mouth. He licked the blood. Normally, once he got injured, it healed very quickly but this wound refused to heal.

He stared at her and his eyes turned amber red shocking Vanessa.

“You… red eyes! Red eyes!” she started to shift away, looking horrified.

“What are you, Vanessa? Why can’t I heal? Look!” he showed her his hand that had started bleeding profusely. His blood decorated the ground and turned black.
