LORD DOM’s MANSION^^^
^
Jake received a petition filed against Lord Dom for forced employment, and he chuckled fully aware that it was from Celia’s end.
He sighed in worry when he saw the name of the prosecutor that filled the petition. Cletus Antony, a senior prosecutor that has been after thier case. He was transferred to the countryside years ago but he was recently transferred back.
“Is this his way of getting back into our case?” he thought.
He checked all Celia’s messages and call record but he found nothing She hasn’t contacted anyone but him since she left so he picked his phone to call fhe Chief prosecutor.
•
📞*I received the petition, so we can as well say the Boss received it. Let’s agree that we exchanged greetings with this,*
📞*Why is he back? Why can’t you control your men? The Boss is on break, if this gets to the him, I’m sure you will take it seriously,*
📞*Just do your job, and I’m going to give you this week. I can’t appear in court for a cheesy case,* with that, he dropped the call
•
He reed the petition again and let out a sigh when a call entered his phone from Lord Dom and he received it immediately.
•
📞*Boss,*
📲*The attack in Chicago, I slightly remembered it,*
📞*Was it from the East?*
📲*It wasn’t an enemy, it was someone close to me,*
📞*Boss, according to the information from our men, you suddenly left and they didn’t know your whereabouts until Tom found you,*
📲*How is Tom doing in the East?*
📞*Boss, I haven’t gotten any updates from them,*
📲*What’s your take?*
📞*Boss, it was the same strategy as Lady Bianca, if it was her, it could be any of her men,”
📲*Look into Tom and the others I sent to East, ask our spies at the East about them and interrogate Chris and others I went to Chicago with,*
📞*Boss, allow me investigate it while you’re on break. Lady Aria isn’t here, so there is nothing much for me to do,*
📲*No, you should handle all the legal case. Take your time to handle other things to spare myself that hassle when I return. Mr. Cason will take handle the investigation. Just do what I ask you to, don’t interfere with Mr. Cason’s method,*
📞*Will Mr. Cason also investigate how the nanny was connected to your trip in Chicago? You had a strong feeling about her connection with the incidence,*
📲*Nah, forget about her. She is irrelevant to the case. I was mistaken,*
📞*That’s news to me. You’re never mistaken until you get to the bottom of it,*
📲*Since you know me that well, you should know better than questioning me,*
📞*I’ll report back to you, Bods,* with that, Lord Dom dropped the call.
•
Jake let out a heavy sigh, with so many things on thier plates he couldn’t disturb Lord Dom with the petition.
He dialed Tom’s number but it sent him straight to voicemail so he called one of the other men that was exiled with him but it was the same.
He inhaled deeply and went out to look for Chris.
“Were you able to reach Tom?”
“Nah, he has been out of reach since he was exiled to the East,”
“I wasn’t able to reach any of them. Boss, request for a full report on the Chicago incidence. I want you to report it to me,”
“Tom already made that report before, what do I have to report again? I don’t even remember anything about that incident,”
“That’s also a report, I can as well report that to the Boss,”
“You must be kidding me,” he grumbled, and Jake left.
*
Jake thought of a way to handle the petition without getting Lord Dom involved so he decide to settle it amicably. He took his phone and called the prosecutor in charge.
📞*Mr. Anthony,*
📲*I never expect to receive your call, Mr. Gangster, sorry, should I call you an Attorney instead?”
📞*I believe with that, I can drop the formalities, let’s meet up,*
📲*But I refuse to drop the petition. You can meet me at my office,*
📞*Cletu—* he was saying, but the Prosecutor dropped the call.
He exhaled sharply and put the phone away.
“Gosh, he is so full of himself,” he grumbled.
He was summoned by Mr. Cason later, so he left everything he was doing behind to meet him.
“I heard that we received a new petition,”
“Yes, sir,”
“And the nosy Prosecutor is back. What’s it about?”
“I bet you already know,” he said, and Mr. Cason chuckled.
“If that nanny is causing troubles, we can’t get rid of her but we should get rid of the problems. Cletus is no joke, he managed to work his transfer back here so he can attack us and we have to avoid any legal problems for now. So I want to you take care of it. That Emma Britton, get rid of her,”
“I’ll handle this the right way,”
“Jake, you can’t be a mafia and a good person at a time. You’ve to chose,”
“I’ll handle it as a lawyer,”
“This shouldn’t reach the Boss. I’m reinvesting the Chicago’s incidence, I don’t want any legal troubles,”
“I’ll handle it without causing troubles. If that’s all, I’ll be on my way,” with that, be turned to leave.
“Jake, there is a traitor in the villa,” Mr. Cason said, and Jake looked at him.
“Then you should fish them out,”
“Yes, I will,” he said, and Jake nodded before leaving.

LORD DOM’S ISLAND HOUSE^^^
^
Lord Dom left Celia’s room after she fall asleep, he didn’t even know what came over him to make such promise but he never regretted it. She was his daughter’s nanny, not just a nanny, but his daughter chose her herself.
He went to grab a bottle of wine trying to divert his thoughts away from what just happened so he diverted nis thoughts to what he remembered.
The body, thier closeness, everything described someone close to him. It could be any of his men or anyone he knows, but it wasn’t from the enemies but an intruder who is against him.
He picked his phone immediately and called Jake to inform him about everything before dropping the call when he saw Aria coming out of her room.
“Aria, why’re you up?”
“Same goes to you,”
“I asked first,”
“I suddenly woke up from a nightmare and got thirsty,” she said.
“Nightmare? Do you know what that is?”
“You answer me first. Why are you up?” she blurted, and he chuckled.
“I was also unable to sleep. I felt thirsty,”
“Daddy, can I have a glass? Or a sip from the wine? Just one,”
“Answer mine first. What’s nightmare,”
“A dream that is scary,”
“And what’s a dream? But, I should answer yours first. You can’t drink this, not even a sip,”
“Why?”
“Answer mine,”
“A dream is what you see when you close your eyes, but it can also be what you wish to become in the future,”
“Who taught you that?”
“Answer mine first!” she lashed.
“Because I said you can’t take a sip,”
“Why…?”
“Answer mine first,”
“My teacher taught me. Now answer mine! I want at least a sip!” she whined and he smiled.
“Aria, you know that I always keep my promises, right?”
“Yes,”
“Do you trust me?”
“You are the only person I trust in the entire world!” she said.
He smiled and carried her on his lap.
“Why is there no water in your room?”
“My bottle of water is empty and Celia didn’t refill it,”
“Yeah, Celia is not feeling well, you should understand,”
“Daddy, why are you being this way?”
“What way?”
“Do you like Celia?”
“What?!”
“You finally like her now, you didn’t like her before,”
“Oh… yeah, it’s that… I think she can be trusted now,” he said, and she smiled, “Let’s get your water and put you back to bed,”
“Daddy, I want a sip from that…” she whined.
“No, young lady,”
“I hat£ you!” she yelled, and he smooched her lips, and started wetting her face with kisses which made her giggled.
**
**
Celia woke up later in the morning, and yawned slightly. She remembered everything that conspired between her and Lord Dom the other night and smiled.
“Did he really made that promise to me?” she thought, and started giggling.
She covered her entire body with the blanket blushing hard before she went to the bathroom to freshen up and everything displayed on her head again.
“What does that mean? Does it mean…” she thought, and started giggling again.
*
She searched through her wardrobe and wore the most sxxy dress there, and found herself applying some power and lipgloss.
“Why are you doing this?” she thought, and winked at the mirror before smiling, “This doesn’t mean anything. I’m simply applying powder and lipgloss, that doesn’t mean anything,” she muttered, convincing herself before leaving the room.
She went out and saw Lord Dom preparing breakfast. She cleared her throat slightly pecking at him, and retreated to go to Aria’s room but he stopped her.
“Leave Aria to sleep, you can continue staring,” he said, and she gasped in embarrassment.
“I… I wasn’t pecking,”
“I never said you were,”
“Is it true that he has invisible eyes in his back?” she grumbled, in a low whisper.
“I heard that,”
“What? Even immaculate ears!” she shouted.
“Stop blabbing and join me here,” he said, and she obediently joined him.
“About last night…”
“I made a promise to you, and I’ll keep it,” he said, focused on what he was doing.
“What?” she muttered, and she mistakenly dropped what she was holding.
“You should focus,”
“I.. I’m sorry… but… you promised to be by my side, will you really be my side…? I mean… I…”
“I promise to be by your side whenever you’re sick, it’s my obligation to protect you as my daughter’s nanny,”
“Oh… yeah… I’m Aria’s nanny… I mean, yeah, I know, that’s also what I mean,” she said, and he chuckled.
“Did you just smiled?” she gasped.
“You can serve it, I’ll get Aria,” he said, and wanted to leave but she held him back, and he looked at her, confused.
“Thank you for last night. Thanks for staying by my side, and thanks for making that promise,” she said, and he nodded before leaving.
“He’s so cool,” she muttered, and blushed slightly.
