THE BILLIONAIRE'S CRAZY OBSESSION: Love Intoxicated.

[ JEROME'S LUXURIOUS HOME * EVENING ]

The enormous building stood tall and beautiful, with a large white gate that has beautiful designs on it.

Just by the sight of it, you'd need no one to tell you who lives or own the building because the luxurious house was screaming it out, silently.

Everywhere around the vicinity smells of wealth and riches.

Inside the building, are maids and male workers, occupied with different activities.

The maids, guards, gate keepers and all...are busy with one thing or the other.

"You guys be quick with that, it's almost time for dinner and little Miss needs to eat now. Master would be back from work soon, hurry up!" Lucie, a maid ordered the other maids to fasten whatever they were doing.

After telling them that, she left the kitchen in a haste.

Inside the house, there is an elevator and a staircase, leading to all the rooms upstairs.

On the long staircase, there is a red carpet spread from the starting of the steps to the very end of it, and the rails are beautifully made of gold, both sides of the rails are adorned with beautiful, sweet smelling flowers and decorations.

In the living room, a big chandelier is hung up high, and since it was dusk already, the lights were magnificently shining, emitting all the beauty and giving the living room a stunning and breathtaking sight.

The walls are adorned with Jerome and his little daughter's pictures, prints and some art works.

In the middle of the living room, an enormous television can be seen, a center table and some electronics. A little bit far from the TV stan and other electronics, is a big fireplace that leads to the chimney.

By the left, close to the dining room, there is a small fountain and just a foot away from the fountain, there is an aquarium for Desiree, although she also has one in her room.

The aquarium has got tiny fishes happily swimming in the water. The lights inside it was emitting different colors, giving it that beguiling look.

Let's stop here for now.

Since Lucie needed to get upstairs fast, she used the elevator instead of the stairs, and she was at Desiree's room in no time.

"Desiree...." Lucie called and gently opened the door, walking into the little girl's room stealthily. "Dee...?" She finally walked to her bed and stood in front of little Desiree who was busy on her big iPad, watching CoComelon.

Desiree is actually Jerome's three-year old daughter, very stubborn, yet cheerful and friendly. Just like her dad, Desiree is crazy and smiles a lot too.One would think she's six and above due to how big she looks, talks and behaves.

Lucie is actually the head maids, and she's trying to persuade Desiree to go have her bath before her dad comes back, because Jerome hates it when he comes back from work and sees that his daughter has neither bathed nor had her dinner. He doesn't know why, he just hates it.

Maybe he feels his daughter is not well taken care of when he's not around. Or he probably just loves to see his daughter clean always.

If there's anything or anyone Jerome loves and cherishes most in the world, then it is his amazing, cute little daughter.

"Please come have your bath, and eat your food before your daddy comes back, okay?" Lucie said, brushing her hair to the back, nicely.

Aside the fact that she's the head maids, Lucie is the only maid Desiree is close to and the only person she listens to most times, but it seems not today, because this is the third time Lucie has come to beg the little girl.

"No...." Desiree stubbornly dragged the word, her lips pouted. "I want my daddy to bath and feed me" She protested, her eyes and attention still fixed on what she was watching. She never even raised her head to look at who was in front of her.

Sighing, Lucie held her shoulder softly, and moved closer.

"Desiree, your daddy isn't home yet and I don't know when he'd be back. Please come have your bath, I don't want him getting mad when he....

"Daddy's girl!...." Lucie was cut off as Jerome just walked in while she was still trying to talk Desiree into bathing . Lucie immediately stood, scared that Jerome would be mad at her.

"Daddy!" Desiree jumped off the bed and clung onto Jerome like a koala, her face glimmering with excitement.

"Good evening, Master. I'm sorry, sir...I've been trying to....

"It's fine" Yet again, Jerome made Lucie swallow the rest of her words.

Lucie was shocked to see that he wasn't mad after all. Did he already know that Desiree was being extra stubborn and adamant today?

Whew!

Lucie collected Jerome's briefcase and his suite to take them to his room, and with that, she swiftly exited Desiree's room.

"How are you, princess? And how was school today?" Jerome inquired, planting an affectionate kiss on her hair.

He put her down, loosening his tie, and without wasting time, he took off Desiree's clothes and jacked her to the shower, making her to giggle cutely and excitedly, like the little kid that she is.

"I won't keep doing this all the time, little Miss stubborn, do you understand me?" Jerome said, turning on the shower.

Lucie had already set the water, so Jerome didn't need to that again.

"No, daddy!" Desiree pouted, squeezing that cute little face, and Jerome couldn't help but to chuckle.

"When am I getting a new nanny, daddy?" Desiree asked, spreading her arms wide as the water poured down her body.

"Soon, Dee. I've placed a vacancy advert already, but no one has applied yet, and I hope this one stays if we eventually find one" Jerome sighed. He has employed many nannies, but none of them lasts because Desiree has never liked any of them.

"Are you going to marry her once she comes?" Desiree asked, automatically rendering her dad speechless!

What sort of a question was that....coming from a three-year old?!

Did she already plan with whoever was coming that she was going to persuade him to marry her? Geez! This girl!

"What? I am looking for a nanny for you, not someone to marry, Dee. C'mon, Angel, you're too young to be talking about that, get it?" Jerome shook his head unbelievably.

"Come here, let's go eat, hmm?" He said, after he was done dressing her up.

"But I want a baby brother" Desiree argued, and her dad's face instantly turned sour, leaving him speechless again. However, he immediately replaced the look on his face with a smile.

"Okay, princess, you'll have a baby brother soon, hmm?" He said, and Desiree nodded happily and innocently even though her dad has always said that but she still hasn't gotten the baby brother.

She has always wanted a baby brother. Someone she could play with and take care of, though she's a baby herself, who needs to be taken care of.

[ BIG MOMMA'S HOME

Floral scent!

Just standing outside her door is enough for her scent to consume you whole.

Her sweet smelling scent is spread all over the area, and inside the room, a slender body could be seen on the bed, typing on her laptop.

Her long, silky black hair is packed up in a nice and neat bun.

A white ear pod on her head, a crop top and a bum short are all what she's wearing on as she scrolled up the laptop. Her finely painted artificial nails adding to her beauty.

She's exceptionally beautiful, no doubts.

She was still on that when a knock came at the door.

Without waiting for permission to go in, her grandmother (Big Momma), as she fondly calls her.

The door made a creaking sound as big Momma gently pushed it open.

"Janella?" She questioningly called as she was surprised to see Janella still working on the laptop.

She cheerfully walked to the bed and sat down beside Janella, instantly closing the laptop. "Do you want to become old before you actually attain that age? Goodness! To think you were having a nap already. I hadn't come to check on you because I thought you were sleeping" Big Momma spoke, a bit upset with Janella. She's usually not happy when Janella stresses herself too much.

And she hates the fact that Janella is always indoors most of the times. If not for school and some of the menial jobs she does, you will hardly see Janella go out, party or do all the sorts that most young women of her age do.

However, she does go out to feel alive sometimes when she feels like it, though. But her friend is most times the reason she does.

Anyway, her grandmother still thinks she doesn't go out plenty enough, she's always urging her to.

"Big Momma, please..." Janella dragged the word, taking the ear pod off her ear. She sat upright, and rested her back on the headboard, sighing.

"I was only working on the files I need to submit in school before it closes. And you know....I told you I'm looking for a job, so that's what I was doing. I'm not over working myself, Big Momma" Janella smiled, repacking her hair that was starting to loosen.

Big Momma could only sigh and shake her head.

"You need to go out more often, Janella. Loosen up"....

~Ding Dong ~

The doorbell rang while they were still talking.

Big Momma was the one who got up to get the door because she insisted.

Upon opening the door, crazy Lenora came to view and she immediately hugged Big Momma, who smiled happily.

"Thank goodness you're here, Nora" Big Momma said, and Lenora chuckled before pulling away.

Without wasting time, she headed straight to Janella's room, barging into the room like she owns it.

"The answer is no. Go back to where you came from" Janella immediately snapped the moment she sighted Lenora. But the crazy girl only burst out laughing, jumping on her friend like a màdwoman, and Janella who just got off the bed landed back on it.

"Aww, I missed you so much my cutie potootie" Lenora said, squeezing her cheeks like she was doing it to a kid. Janella couldn't help but to chuckle.

"Don't tell me you didn't get my text" Lenora narrowed her eyes, as she got off her friend and they both sat up.

"What text?" Janella cluelessly asked with a shrug.

"C'mon, Ella! I sent you a text about the job I...."

"Wait, you found a job for me?" Janella immediately cut in, her eyes shining so bright in excitement even though she has not heard everything that Lenora wants to say.

"Yeah, a nanny job" Lenora told her straight up, and Janella curved her brows a little as she didn't expect it to be a nanny job.

"A nanny job?..."

"Um, yeah? You said you wouldn't mind any kind of job, right?" Lenora said, staring the disappointed look on her face.

She may have said that she wouldn't mind what job she gets, but a nanny job was definitely not among the list of those jobs.

However, she still was happy to take the job. That's if she'd get it though.

Seeing that beautiful smile that was suddenly plastered on her face, Lenora knew she was happy and willing to go for it anyway.

"More like it" Lenora smiled, winking at Janella. "Okay. So, I have applied and filled in everything that was required. All you need to do is go for the interview" She explained, leaving Janella's mouth a little agape.

She couldn't believe this girl!

She already filled in the requirements? What if she had refused going for the job?

"What's with the stare? Why is your mouth like that? Have I suddenly become too beautiful?" Lenora bombarded her with questions, stylishly cleaning an invisible dirt off her clothes, with attitude.

"Who told you you're beautiful?"

"Shut the f.u.c.k!" Lenora shot, covering Janella's mouth immediately, causing them both to laugh.

"I hope the interview isn't in the morning, Nora?" Janella asked as she gets out of the bed, adjusting her crop top.

"Luckily, no. Go get ready, Ella, we are going out and won't be back till like.... I don't know when" Lenora said and stood up too, she went to Janella's MP3 sets, turned it and the music on, then she starting dancing crazily as the music blared up.

"Wahoo...!" Lenora screamed as she began to sway her small bottom.

"Oh, Lord! Please not today, I've had a stressful day already and I don't want to have a nightmare" Janella grunted as she watched Lenora dance rubbish.

"Wahoo...oh yeah....oh yeah! Yahh!" Lenora screamed again.

She walked to Janella's bed and held onto it, then she began to twèrk the a.ss she doesn't have. Janella couldn't help but to burst into an uncontrollable laugh as she landed back on her bed because the only thing that was shaking on Lenora's body, was her hair that was swaying side to side.

"Check it out, Ella. I'm doing it...it's shaking, oh yeah....yahh, I think I have improved...wahoo!

Oh my gawd! It's finally shaking! Pop me some Champagne, Janella, it's shaking!"

She screamed again, slapping her ass as she continued shaking the a.ss with all the energy she got, but still nothing was shaking.

Janella laughed until she fell off the bed.

[ CORNELL UNIVERSITY * NEXT DAY MORNING ]

The air in the environment was filled with the warmth that a certain car produced.

From the sound that came from the engine of the car, no one needed to tell the other that the car was an expensive and newly bought one.

Everyone stood still in awe, mouths in agape as Jerome alighted from his Lamborghini Revuelto, one he just got two days ago, and this is its first day in school with him.

Jerome's strong scent sipped through the nostrils of those who were close enough and as expected, some girls began to drool over him, some already got wet just by looking at him. Some were even imagining him f*cking them hard just that moment they stood there.

His manly build body stood out, driving the girls even crazier as they couldn't stop drooling.

It's not like this is their first time of seeing him, but well, girls will always be girls.

However, it isn't their faults because Jerome looks extra hot and handsome each single day. And that car he just drove in with?....it's kìlling!

~ He may be, or look like a f*uckboy, I still love his charisma regardless...

~~ Yeah, he's so friendly and cool despite being the richest guy in school....

~ I heard he has a daughter....

~ Wait, he does?!...

~ Yeah, that's what I heard. Well, evidence of a f*ckboy....

~ At least he didn't reject the baby, see why I still like him regardless?....

~ Gawd! He's so hot and handsome! Wish I could get f*cked hard by him...

These were all the talks and questions the students were throwing at each other.

It's just few months ago Jerome started his programme here in Cornell University, but he has become so popular within those months. Especially because of his personality.

It wasn't long before his friends arrived too in their own cars. Brien and Fred. His two psychos just like himself.

They aren't best buddies, but they are very close and share a lot of things in common already just between those few months they became friends.

~ And now they are complete....

~ The three psychos and hotties. Gosh! They're just so breathtakingly handsome!...

The students began to talk again as Brien and Fred walked to where Jerome stood.

Jerome smiled immediately on seeing them.

"I thought you still won't come today, Proud Single Dad" Brien jibed, and Jerome rolled eyes at him, but smiled almost immediately.

"Moderf*cker. What did I miss?" Jerome asked as the three began to head to thier class.

"A lot. We had a lot of free p*ssies to f*ck" Fred was the one who answered the question, causing Jerome to swiftly turn to look at him, then to Brien.

"I've said it before that we should take this dude to the hospital for a checkup. These are early signs of madness, I don't want to lose my friend" Jerome sarcastically said, and Brien laughed, taunting Fred who rolled eyes and gave them both a middle finger.

"So, what's popping today? Gat any plans after lectures?" Fred asked after a minute of silence.

Jerome was about to anwser the question that Fred asked, when someone caught his attention.

"Oh, my f*ck! Who's she?" Jerome suddenly asked and his friends who didn't know what who he was referring to, immediately followed his gaze.

They too were awed, but they suddenly started to chuckle, smirking even.

Actually, Janella is the person who made Jerome exclaim that way.

Janella just walked out of the class, with papers in her hands. The same files she was telling her grandmother yesterday that she needs to submit.

Anyway, Janella was in a hurry and so, she was walking very fast, but was all of a sudden hit by someone, and she knew it was intentionally done.

"What the hell?! You dumb*ass!" She yelled angrily as all her papers went flying to different angles.

"I am...so sorry...."

"I know you f.c.k.i.ng did that on purpose, d.umb*ass!" Janella yelled again as she didn't want to hear any stūpid sorry because she knew he did it intentionally.

Students immediately began to gather when they heard the commotion.

Meanwhile, Brien and Fred.....

"That girl looks like one who can murder someone. Let's call 911, tell them to bring an ambulance and a stretcher in case he gets slåpped and doesn't survive it" Fred, the craziest one said and Brien couldn't help but to burst out laughing like a madman.

"You think he's not gonna make it?"

"Look at that girl, dude! She's so fierce! What color of clothes should we choose for his burial?" Yet again, the crazy guy spoke, his eyes glued to Jerome to see what they were going to do to him.

"Pink cap color, dude. That's the best color"

"Perfect!" Fred who understood his friend, concurred immediately and they both laughed out loud.

However....

"Do you have anything to say about this stūpid thing you just did?" Janella glared dangerously at Jerome, as if to strangle him.

"Yeah, I do" Jerome simply answered and everyone began to wait in anticipation.

"Wait for it" Fred whispered...

"Can I kiss you?" Jerome blew the bomb, and everyone's breath hung...

TBC...

"Can I kiss you?" Jerome blew the bomb, and everyone's breath hung...

"Oh....he blew it!" Brien slapped his head, amusingly, trying so much to not burst into another laughter.

They all just stood still in shocks. It was as if even the earth stopped rotating at that very moment. Everywhere was utterly silent as they waited for the thunder to strike. A slap...punch or possibly a kick on his groin, but nothing as such happened. Rather, Janella moved close to Jerome as if about to grant his request.

Again, everyone held their breaths as the place became so tensed like they were actually in a Cinema watching a suspended movie.

"Wait, is she going to kiss him like he requested?" Brien, whose mouth was slightly wide, asked.

"I swear, if that girl kisses him, may my d*ck never stand again. Wait for it..." Fred answered, smirking at Jerome.

"When last did you visit the psychiatric?" Finally, Janella's voice came as she got very close to Jerome and checked his body temperature with the back of her hand.

Fred who already saw that coming, cackled out loudly. Not like he knew Janella was going to ask Jerome that kind of question, but he knew there was no way Janella was going to kiss him.

I mean, who the h.ell does that?!

From the past two days they've seen Janella, because she started the school not long ago.

Anyway, Fred knew she isn't one of those girls who throw themselves at him, Jerome and Brien.

However, Jerome replied her question.

"Actually today. I went to visit the psychiatric before coming to school and I was told my condition was still stable, but right now I don't mind running mad because of you" Jerome spat the rubbish out. He sounded and looked very serious with what he just said.

"Oh God of mercies, please have mercy my poor guy and restore his sense back to him, he's still very useful" Fred said it out loud and the crowd went wild after they heard what he said.

Janella who had remained speechless due the nonsense this guy before her just spewed out of his mouth, finally opened her mouth to talk.

"It is evident enough, no need to explain yourself anymore. But it'd be good if you took your drugs before coming to school, just so you don't start biting people" Janella sardonically said, and....

"Ooooh....stray bullet, I can feel the pain" Brien held his chest like he was actually hurting. However, Jerome still smiled, not minding what Janella said, his eyes not leaving her even as she began to walk away after picking up her files.

"Who's she?" He asked again, turning to his friends.

"The girl who's gonna murder you soon and we won't even find your corps once she's done with you" Fred answered his question, and Brien who can never hold back his laugh, pushed it all out loudly.

"I like her very much already" Says Jerome, smiling so much like he just won a big contract.

"And this is where John chapter 19:30 says "It is finished" Fred said and again, everyone bursted out laughing their ass out.

~ Who the hell taught this king of p*ssies how to quote the Bible ?....

~ Do not judge a book by it's cover....

~ A repented f*ckboy....

~ Just wait until he f*cks you, then we'll know if he's repented or not....

Students began to gossip and laugh among themselves as they walked back into the class.

[ MINUTES LATER ]

Janella was telling Lenora what happened minutes ago, and the crazy girl wouldn't stop laughing.

"You see those three? If you come to school and don't hear or see them acting crazy, just call the emergency and tell them what's up, because that's a clear sign that they aren't alright. They are the three school psychos. It used to just Brien and Fred, not until Jerome came" Lenora said, trying to stop herself from laughing.

She actually wasn't in school yet when Janella met Jerome.

Janella literally told Lenora all the stūpid things Jerome and his friends said, even demonstrating. That got Lenora laughing until she fell from her desk, and now she's laughing with care just so she doesn't fall again.

If only she came earlier, today would have been the best day of her life.

"Why haven't I seen that J....whatever and they always acting like màd men?" Janella shook her head unbelievably.

She still can't believe what Jerome said about visiting the psychiatric today, but wouldn't mind running màd at that moment because of her.

That's even the one making Nora to laugh hard right now.

"Well, most of the times. But they are very cool, Ella, especially that Jerome guy" Nora replied, giggling.

"Babes!!" Came Alexa's voice as she walked into the class and rushed up straight to her friends; the talkative among them.

Alexa is thier friend too and they are of course complete now. But Janella isn't so close to Alexa like she is to Lenora, but they still very cool like best friends.

Janella and Lenora have actually been friends for long before she even came to Cornell University.

"Tell me everything I missed, don't leave even half of it out!" Alexa chirped, shaking her body in excitement as she squeezed her way in.

"Janella's got a sudden boyfriend. Guess who" Lenora said, teasing Janella as she started winking at Alexa in an amusing way.

"Are you mad? Do you want to receive it hot?" Janella glared at Lenora, then at Alexa who was like "what did I do?".

"Jerome?" Alexa guessed it right without having to think hard.

"Go girl! How the hell did you know that?" Lenora asked, and they both stuck hands, laughing and teasing Janella seriously.

Meanwhile, the three psychos were sitting at the other end, with Jerome stealing glances at Janella at every opportunity he gets. He finds himself staring at her even when he doesn't want to.

Janella on the other hand, rolls her eyes at him once she catches him staring at her that way.

They were all still sitting, waiting for the lecturer and talking about random things when she and her friends came in.

Lisandra and her group; The Pink Stars.

The are the popular Titok street dancers and singers, and are actually students in Cornell University.

They most times perform in school too, it's just like a concert which always drive the crowd wild.

They are good, no lies.

They are five in number,

Lisandra

Becca

Liv

Quin and

Nita.

Lisandra is of course their leader. Sassy and sometimes arrogant when she wants to be.

They aren't only popular in school, but a lot of people both online and offline know them.

Some students immediately began to shower them with praises as they walked in, making their heads get big.

Lisandra momentarily walked to where Jerome and his friends sat, kissing him directly on the lips in front of everyone, without hesitating to pull away.

~Whoa!...

~ Awww....

~ So sweet and cute....

~ What's cute about what she just did? Geez!...

~ Geez! Just say you're jealous of her....

~ I'd rather be jealous of a goat tied to be kìlled for its meat, than be jealous of her....

The last girl said and most of them around her burst out in laughter.

Anyway, Lisandra didn't hear what they were saying because their voices were low, but she did hear their laughs. She didn't care though because it was none of her business.

"Hey, baby boy...did you miss me?" She asked Jerome, still smiling, but Jerome didn't reply her. He only smiled back, his eyes moving to where Janella sat, and their eyes met.

She wasn't looking at him, actually, it just happened coincidentally, and Janella grunted inwardly in frustration.

Why the the h.ell is this guy staring at her this much, has he already gone mad like he said he would? Because what sort of staring at someone is that?!!

"I can't believe The Pink Stars Dancers are actually in this school. They look a bit different though, not as beautiful as I thought they were. But they are still kinda cute" Janella said, confusedly as she didn't know where to actually classify them; beautiful or not beautiful.

They were just in between.

"Well, they edit their photos and videos, you know. Here you're seeing them real, their real acne faces" Alexa said and they all laughed.

Everyone settled down and the lecturer they were actually waiting for didn't come at that moment, but it was the school's Emcee that came instead.

Everyone gasped when they saw her. This only meant one thing.....that The Mr. And Miss University contest is here again.

~Yahh!....

~ Oh my gosh!...

~ I can't believe it's here again already!!...

Students began to gush hard.

"I believe most of you already know why I'm here. It's that time of the year again, and guess what? This year's contest is not only going to be among the students of Cornell University, but with other colleges around" The Emcee announced and the class went even wilder.

Drumming, clapping and wowing at every corner.

Last year, it was Lisandra and one other student (A guy) that is now a graduate of the school, they were the ones that won. And that was like the third time that Lisandra had won.

No one has actually beaten her when it comes that contest.

"Ahhhhhh! I can't believe it! Did you hear what she said? Oh my gawd!" Lisandra clapped her hands excitedly, while her friends couldn't stop screaming in excitement too.

"Dudes! Are we in? We've never actually contested before, should we try?" Brien turned to his friends and asked.

"I already know the winner, so I'm not going to disgrace myself" Fred answered honestly, making Jerome and Brien to laugh.

"With all the bad mouth you have, you're such a chicken" Jerome mocked him.

"Haven't you heard that the weapon of those who actually can't fight, is usually their bad mouths? Allow me have my bad mouth in peace. I am not contesting is I'm not contesting, except if there will be free p*ssies to f*ck as prizes for those who would lose" Fred crazily said, and again, Jerome and Brien burst out laughing thier lungs out.

"Janella.....

"Nope, I am not joining the contest" Janella didn't even let Lenora and Alexa finish calling her name.

They both looked at each other and started laughing, but deep down their hearts, they were planning something.

°°°JEROME'S LUXURIOUS HOME～☆

°°°HIS ROOM～☆

Jerome can be seen in his beautiful big bedroom that of course, screams of riches.

His extra big king sized bed can be seen at the far end of the bed, with lots of pillows on it. Desiree's big blue teddy bear can be seen too. She actually has plenty of them, but this particular one is always in her daddy's room. Well, she loves to be in her dad's room and most times insists on sleeping in his room and Jerome doesn't even argue anymore because it has always been futile.

Anyway, a big Television set can be seen on the wall, but it's not as big as the one in the living room and Desiree's room.

He chose to have a not so big one in his room though. Reasons best known to him.

That's by the way...

Jerome can be seen on his bed, sitting and resting his back on his pillow that he placed on the headboard to keep his back relaxed.

It's not so long that he came back from school, and since then, he's been working on his laptop because he's got loads of work from the Office to do.

Having a little daughter to take care of and also juggle school and work hasn't been easy for him.

He alone knows how stressing this has been for him, but he has no choice. He's doing it for his daughter anyway.

However, he was still on that when the door made a slow creaking sound, and...

"Daddy...?" Came Desiree's voice as she walked in with a toy in her hand.

"Hey, baby girl" Jerome immediately got out of the bed, walking to his daughter.

"Done with your lesson already?" He asked, lovingly when he finally got to her and carried her like the little baby that she is. Desiree nodded a yes as she rested her head on Jerome's shoulder, while her hand was wrapped around his neck.

She was actually having her home lesson and she started looking for her dad the moment her lesson was over.

Jerome walked back to the bed with her and sat down. It was then that Desiree took her head off his shoulder, and asked...

"Daddy, where is mommy?" She questioned whilst staring at her daddy's face and at the same time, her left hand was playing with it.

Jerome immediately swallowed a hard lump he didn't know was stuck on his throat.

He stared at Desiree speechlessly for a while before heaving a sigh, then he kissed her forehead.

"Daddy's girl...." He called softly, flashing a smile at her and she didn't fail to smile back at her daddy. "I've told you before, right? That I am your daddy and also your mommy, ay?" He said, trying to be as soft and sweet as he could be.

"But daddy, my friends have mommies.... and daddies..." Desiree said, counting the "mommies and daddies" with her cute little fingers like she was actually counting a number of things."So, why are you my daddy and still my mommy when you're only one person?" Desiree innocently asked, her shoulders raised, questioningly.

She has always asked him where her mommy is, but Jerome has always told her the same thing.

Some of her friends in school always laugh at her that she doesn't have a mommy because they have never seen her in school before. It is always her dad, even on events that moms are supposed to attend. Or most times it's her grandmother or dad's sister which everyone of course knows that they are not her mom, but grandma and aunt.

So, her friends always making jest of her not having a mom and she always feels bad and left out....

Jerome subconsciously slåpped his head as he didn't know what to tell this inquisitive little daughter of his. He at last smiled when an idea of escaping this, popped up in his head.

"Hey.....baby girl! Remember we are visiting granddad and grandmom, right?" Jerome chuckled, carrying her back to his body, and Desiree started to giggle cutely as her dad began to tickle her. Totally forgetting the question she asked her dad seconds ago.

"Is aunt Bianca going to buy cotton candy, lollipop, and ice cream for me, daddy?" She said, counting her fingers again, and Jerome couldn't help but to chuckle at his cute daughter.

She's always fond of doing that, and always looks cute when she does it.

"Lots of it, princess. C'mon, let's go get ready, hmm?" Jerome said and she nodded innocently and cheerfully.

After saving all the work he has done on the laptop, he closed it before exiting his room with Desiree, heading to hers.

"I really need a nanny for my princess before she kills me. At least she'd be spending most of the times with her nanny, hopefully. That's if she likes her, gawd!!!! I might just faint!" Jerome chuckled inwardly, remembering how many nannies this girl has rejected, stressing him the hell out.

There was actually only one that she liked, but that one had to quit because of some personal issues, though she really didn't want to quit being Desiree's nanny, but she had no choice.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Janella?" Big Momma, who had been in the living room watching her favorite TV show, decided to go assist Janella in the kitchen.

Janella got back from school late, and because of that, she didn't waste time in entering the kitchen to start making dinner just so she could finish up fast enough and go for her interview which is by 6:30PM.

She would have loved to make the food when she gets back from her interview, but since she wasn't sure of when she'd be back, she decided to make it before going. Besides, her grandma needs to eat early.

"Really, Big Momma? I told you I have an interview to go for" Janella replied, but didn't spare her grandmother any glance because she was rushing and was too focused on what she was cooking.

"Oh, yes! You told me, dear, it just skipped my mind" Big Momma replied, and Janella only smiled. "So, I'm guessing you found a job. What kind of job is it, by the way?" Big Momma asked keenly as she picked up some vegetables to wash and chop them.

"A nanny job, grandma, and I hope I get it" Janella simply said, causing her grandma to narrow her eyes at her.

"A nanny job again? Why?" Big Momma paused what she was doing for a moment and asked.

'"I need the money, okay? That school is an expensive one, so I need to work hard and I don't mind, Big Momma" Janella replied, frustration was evident in her voice.

"Well, you knew how expensive it was before you chose it, besides I am not complaining about the money"

"Big Momma....! I want the best that's the reason I chose the school, and I don't want to put all the burden on you that is why I am doing all these"

"You're my grand child and I am not complaining, Janella" Big Momma replied sharply, and even frowning at Ella.

"I know, Momma, but I am an adult and not a teenager that should always depend on you for everything....I am only trying to....ha!" Janella stopped talking and just took a deep breath. "I love you, grand Momma" She smiled at her grandma instead, who immediately hugged her, smiling too. But when she remembered something, she frowned and slowly pulled away after a while.

"He called again, Janella" Big Momma suddenly said, staring deep into her grand daughter's eyes and could see that pain and hate lingering in them.

However, Janella pretended to not hear what her grandmother just said as she already knew who she was talking about.

"You should go rest, Grandma, I'll do all the washing and chopping of the veggies, okay? You just go rest, will be done in no time" Janella smiled knowingly.

"Did you even hear what I said?"

"Shocks! I think I'm running late, Momma. I should hasten this cooking. I really want that job, and I shouldn't go late for the interview if I want to get it" Once again, Janella ignored what Big Momma said.

Big Momma couldn't help but to give up with a sigh, shaking her head.

This girl is so stubborn and will never want to listen nor want to talk about it whenever her grandma brings it up.

However, Big Momma doesn't blame her for always pretending to not hear her when she talks about him.

°°°JEROME'S LUXURIOUS HOME～☆EVENING

"My little girl. I heard you came to visit, but I wasn't around" Bianca said to Desiree over the phone.

Jerome and Desiree did go to visit her grandparents, and it's not quite long they came back.

Sadly for little Desiree, aunt Bianca was still at work and never came back until they left the house.

Anyway, her dad still bought her all the things she wanted her aunt to buy for her.

Desiree was still on the call with her aunt when one of the maids came to them.

They were actually at the balcony in one of the rooms on the second floor; the floor before the third one where their rooms actually are. His room, Desiree's, and few other rooms.

"The lady for the interview is here, Sir" She said, bowing respectfully.

"I'll be there soon. Show her to the reception room" Jerome said, and the maid nodded and bowed before leaving.

"Please watch her carefully" Jerome turned to the guards that were there with them and said.

"Yes, boss" They both said in unison, thier heads bowed.

They are actually his most trusted guards, so been given the assurance of looking after Desiree, he left while Desiree was still chit chatting with her aunt.

Down at the reception room, Jerome used the elevator and he was down in no time on the first floor where the reception room is.

Meanwhile, seated on the beautiful gold made couch, is Janella. Beautifully and simply dressed for the interview that she came for.

She has been admiring the luxuries before her, though she has seen most of these, but they are nowhere compared to what she was seeing now.

Damn!

This home was singing, dancing and screaming of riches!! It was even smelling like it.

However, Jerome finally opened the door to the reception room, and stepped in. Janella on hearing that creaking sound, she turned to look at who she was expecting and has been waiting for because the maid came back to tell her that her Master would be down in less than a minute.

But on seeing him, she narrowed her eyes, her brows creased, and her mouth slightly open.

Wait, what?! J....whatever? The crazy psycho? The one that visited the psychiatric but wouldn't mind running mad because of her?

The same crazy guy that kept staring at her until lectures were over?

Wait, he has a child...?....children?

What the hell?

Is she dreaming or what?!!

Jerome on the other hand was completely surprised to see her, and at the same time happy!!

He didn't say a word! He just pocketed his hands, looking extremely hot. His shirt was not buttoned to the end, and that made him look extra hot and handsome. He kept staring smiling and even smirking at her, until....

"Nope, I'm not doing this. Hell no! Interview canceled" Janella said crazily, and picked her handbag. "I'm sorry for the disappointment, but I'll be leaving now" She said and began to walk away, while Jerome's heart felt a little pain.

Anyway, Janella had barely taken three feet away from where she was standing, when she felt someone hugging her from behind and she widened her eyes.....
