Chapter 2 LUCKY TROUBLEMAKER

"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"I am" he muttered and started going again but she grabbed his arm.

"You have a wound in your hand and face, I think you need to visit the hospital, get in, I will take you to the nearest hospital, " she said.

"It's just a few scratches, you don't have to worry, I am okay, " he said.

"I insist, I don't want to be guity" she said with a cute pout. She doesn't even know why she is doing that. Angelo sigh when he saw that the lady is not ready to back down,he finally agree after seeing that she is not ready to back down. He drop his bicycle in her car and enter beside her and they soon drove to the nearest hospital.

"It's just a few bruises, he will be okay in a few days" the doctor said after wrapping his wound. They both walk out of the hospital.

"Thanks" Angelo muttered and moved toward her car trunk in order to carry his bicycle.

"I can see you are not a man of many words" she said. He didn't respond and wanted to open the boot but it couldn't open.

"Can you help me with this?" He asked while pointing to it.

"What is your name?" She asked while ignoring his questions.

"I don't feel comfortable telling a stranger that," he said.

"Okay, get into the car, let me take you home" he said.

"That isn't necessary at all," he said.

"I insist" she smiled, she loves looking at his face, he is like the first man who doesn't stare at her with lustful eyes.

"Miss I really need to get home on time, can you give me my bicycle?" He asked, almost getting annoyed already.

"I won't, so you don't have a choice but to follow me, '' she smiled. She is smiling a lot today which is so unlike her, it seems like she got some resetting to do to her brain when she gets home today.

"What the hell?" Angelo muttered under his breath before going into the car. She smiled in victory before joining him.

"Can you tell me about yourself?" She asked as they drove to his house, he started pressing his phone immediately and she rolled her eyes. Soon they arrived in front of a small apartment and he came down. He went straight to the trunk and brought out his bicycle.

"Thanks" he said and started going.

"Do you not really recognize me or you just pretend as if you don't know?" She asked which made him stop.

"Recognize you as what?" He asked plainly.

"Really, you don't know Daphne Diamond" she asked.

"Am I supposed to know?" He scoffed.

"You can do some research on the person," she said.

"Why would I? I am not interested" he said and left.

"You haven't told me your name" she yelled after him but he didn't even look back.

"He is so cold, but I like that," she smiled but quickly snapped out of it. She entered her car and drove away.

Angelo sighs from his window, he was actually watching her.

"What a weirdo" he scoffed, his door open and his younger sister ran in, she was smiling happily with a paper in her hand.

"Brother, see I got it" she said with a smile. She is so beautiful and cute, she is eighteen years old, her name is Angel. Angelo collected the letter and read with a proud smile on his face, she actually applied for scholarships at brimstone college and she got it, just like him, she is very smart, she is naive and playful. Which makes her the right target for bullying.

"You should start preparing, you are following me on Monday" he said.

"Okay" she said cutely.

"Where is mum?" He asked.

"She is sleeping, I think she is tired already," Angel said. Their mum actually owns a small restaurant, they lost their dad, some years ago.

"Okay then, goodnight" he said.

"I hope you haven't forgotten about the ice cream you promised, if I pass the test I get the scholarship?" She asked.

"I haven't, I will get it for you tomorrow" he said.

"Thanks brother" she hugged him happily before running to her room. Angelo took off his clothes and brought out his laptop, he started doing something on it, he was actually studying computer science at the college.

DYLAN'S MANSION

Jacob supports him out of the car and helps him into the mansion, he assists him to sit before standing in front of him. He was very nervous because of the news he was about to say and Dylan could notice that.

"Are you okay?I can feel your uneasiness through your loud breathing," Dylan muttered.

"I really have something important to tell you boss" Jacob said nervously. He waited for Dylan to say something but continued when he didn't.

"My parents are really ill and we need someone to stay with her, my younger brother is in college and I can't leave her alone," he said.

"What are you trying to say?" Dylan asked.

"Sir I can't be staying with you anymore, I will continue to be your secretary but I can't be assisting you at home, I need to stay with my mother" he said nervously.

"So you are leaving me?" Dylan asked.

"No sir, I will come to work everyday, I will find a maid that will be situated, he or she is going to take over my work at home," Jacob said.

"How am I supposed to get used to a total stranger when I can't even see them? When are you going to your mother's place?" Dylan asked.

"That would be Monday," Jacob said.

"I can't believe this, so you are going a day after tomorrow and you decided to tell me now,what about the maid, how are we going to get it?" Dylan asked hurtfully. He has gotten used to Jacob, he is the one that takes him around everywhere, she doesn't expect him to leave soon.

"I have already uploaded that already, people will come for interviews tomorrow, I will do it personally and choose the best person" he said. Dylan didn't respond.

"I am so sorry boss," Jacob pleaded.

"Take me to my room" Dylan muttered coldly. Jacob breathed out before leading him to his room.

"I hope you are not angry with me, I am really sorry" she pleaded. Dylan lay on the bed and turned his back to him.

"Should I bring your pajamas, so that you could change?" He asked and sigh sadly when he didn't respond. He knows he has to leave him alone.

DAPHNE'S MANSION

Daphne came out of her car and stretched tirelessly, she just arrived home after taking Angelo home, she entered the mansion and two kids came to hug her tightly, they had a bright smile on their face.

"Welcome Mummy" they both chorus, they are Emilia and Emilio, they are twins, a boy and a girl, they will soon click four, they are so handsome and beautiful. She smiled lightly and disengaged from the hug.

"Where is your nanny?" She asked. They both look at each other before looking at their mum.

"She left for home already," Emilia said.

"Actually mum, the nanny......" Emilio stopped talking and they both looked down.

"What's wrong with the nanny?" She asked.

"Nothing " they both shook their heads.

"Why aren't both of you sleeping already?" She asked.

"We want to watch movies with you, please mum" they pleaded.

"It's late, you should be on your bed" she said.

"But tomorrow is Sunday, we are not going anywhere, please mum watch movies with us" Emilia pleaded.

"You both should go to your room" she said.

"Can you stay with us tonight, please mum" Emilio said.

"I am tired" she said and left. The twins look at each other sadly before entering their room. It is so wide and beautiful. It was painted in blue and purple, they both sat on their huge beds, there were different teddies and dolls on it. Their room has everything a child needs.

"Do you think mummy is angry at us?" Emilia asked.

"I don't know, let's just sleep," Emilio said and lied down.

"Should we tell mummy about the Nanny?" she asked and his brother shook his head. They both closed their eyes and soon fell asleep.

Daphne came out of her bathroom before sitting on the bed, she removed the towel that she tied on her head and smiled when she remembered Angelo. She is sure she is really going crazy already. She can't explain why she is so attracted to a young boy. She brings out her phone and goes to her gallery. She clicked on his picture and smiled, she secretly took it when he was unaware. She sent the picture to her secretly.

"Find out about him, I want to know everything" she typed before sending it to her. She lay on her bed and continued staring at the picture.

The loud banging at the door was what woke Arielle up, she yawned lazily before going toward the door, peeping outside and saw two cops accompanied by her former manager. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Miss, open the door kindly, unelse, we would force our way in," one of the cops said. She didn't say anything and walked to the tiny window. She is actually living in an old store house. She climbed the window and jumped down, hit the hard ground and yelped in pain before running away. She had gotten to a far distance before she was sighted. She didn't have anything in the house, she had just a few clothes and she carried her small bag with her.

They started pursuing her while she ran speedily. She didn't know why they wanted to arrest her because of the small microwave and some plates she broke, they could just buy another one.

"Aren't they tired?" She scoffed when she saw that they are not ready to stop and they continue to pursue her. She was actually in the sitting some she is running through some big mansion, she was looking around for an appropriate place to hide herself.

"Stop running Miss and just surrender yourself" one of the cops shouted behind her, it's obvious that they are tired already.

"Never" she yelled and entered a corner, she continued running, she even hid and was still shocked that they were following her. She hid behind a big house and saw some people in front of the mansion beside it. She also saw the cops coming from another side, so when the big gate opened and the people began to enter, she quickly joined them before the door closed.

She was surprised at how beautiful the place was. She looked at the beautiful fountain and went near it to admire it. She could see some fishes swimming in it.

"This is so cool, '' she exclaimed while looking around. She was so engrossed in it and didn't seem to care about the people whispering about her. She wasn't surprised anyone, her clothes is so dirty, since she only have three clothes with her, her hair look messy and unkempt, she hasn't taken her bath, nor brush this morning, they may be thinking what a person like her is doing in a place like that, she just have to wait for a few time and be sure the cops have left before going out of the mansion.

"I really wish to get this job" one of the ladies said and that's when Arielle realized they were actually here for a job interview.

"Me too, a hundred thousand dollars monthly is not a small amount of money, I could buy as many designer bags as I want," another lady said. Arielle ear twitches at the price, she quickly moves closer to the lady.

"Are you serious? Are they really paying a hundred thousand dollars?" She asked to be sure. They all look at her weirdly before nodding their head.

"Cool, what sort of job is that?" She asked with interest.

"Why are you here, if you don't know the job?" One of the ladies asked.

"Can you tell me please, I forget " she lied.

"We are to take care of our boss, he is blind and needs assistance," one of them said.

"Does that mean we will be living here?" She asked. They all nodded.

"Free house, free food, free fun, cool" she said happily and looked around.

"Are you all here for the same job?" She asked. They all nodded again.

"How many people did they need?" She asked while looking at the people, there are both male and female, there are about a hundred of them.

"Just one," a lady said.

"Just one?" She exclaimed, there are too many people, how is she going to make it?" She started walking toward the mansion door immediately.

"Where are you going?" One of them asked but she ignored her, she was about to open the door when it was open first. She smiled when she saw Jacob.

"Wow it's you, my friend" she smiled cutely.

"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked in surprise.

"Looking for a job, let's talk inside," she said and dragged Jacob into the mansion. The people look shocked by that. Jacob didn't even know what to do, he just followed the weird girl till they got to the wide sitting room. Dylan was sitting with Vivian, his girlfriend. She looked disgusted when she saw Arielle but suddenly smiled.

"Hello Mr, remember me" Arielle said with a smile but suddenly stopped smiling when she saw that he was not blinking nor looking at her, she finally realized he was blind, she was too engrossed to notice that.

"Who is that Jacob?" Dylan asked.

"His friend" Arielle said with a smile before Jacob could talk, Vivian scoffed secretly.

"Your friend?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah we met some time ago " Arielle said again before Jacob could talk.

"Really?" Dylan asked.

"Yes boss" Jacob said while glaring at Arielle who smiled at him in return.

"He has told me a lot about you, and I vow to take good care of you " Arielle smiles while Jacob's eyes widen in shock. When did they talk?

"Since he chose you, I trust him, you are hired," Dylan said.

"I think she is the right person too" Vivian said while looking at her tattered clothes, she chuckled to herself before taking Dylan upstairs to his room.

"You......"

"You should go and inform others that they are no longer needed" Arielle cut him off with a smile. He scoffed before going out.

"Yes," Arielle said while jumping around happily. Vivian was watching from the stairs, she actually allowed her to be hired because of her dirty look, it shows she will do anything for money and she really needs someone like that in her plan.

"I hope she will be useful" she muttered while watching as she danced around the sitting room.
