The Nanny

Chapter 18

"Wake up Jess", I hear Leo's voice. I open my eyes slowly when he gives me another shake. I blink several times and look around.

"Shit I'm late!", I gasp. It's already getting dark. I check the time and gasp loudly when I realize it's already past six.

"Why are you sleeping here bitch!?", Leo snaps. "Do you even know how dangerous it is?!"

I get up quickly ignoring him and start putting my stuff in my backpack.

"Leo I'm late", I say. "Stefan is going to be so angry with me again."

"Bitch he called me", he says.

"What?!"

"You were not picking your phone so he thought you're with me", he explains.

I remove my phone quickly form my back pocket and my eyes widen.

I have fifty miss calls from him and two from Ciara and three from Leo.

"I'm dead", I murmur and sit down again.

"Get up Jess", Leo says. "Let's go. It's already late."

I nod and adjusting my glasses on my face, I get up.

"Can you drop me at Stefan's place please? I'm already super late!"

"Yes", Leo says. "Let's go."

We get inside his car and Leo starts the car immediately.

"How did you know I was at the park?", I ask him.

"Bitch that's your favorite spot when you need time to think. So I just knew you were there when you were not picking up."

"Did something happened? Are you okay?", he questions after a while.

"Yes", I murmur. "Stefan was just angry with me this morning. He thinks I'm not doing my work properly. And now I'm late."

"Is that bitch blind or what?", Leo claims angrily. "Can't he see how you take great care of his son?! That ungrateful bastard! It's not too late Jess. You can still quit!

"Just drive quickly Leo", I say quickly. "Stefan is so going to have my head for dinner tonight."

"Jess we are still going to have this conversation later!", Leo presses and gives me a serious look.

I nod and sigh. Sometimes he really behaves like a too overprotective brother for me. I smile when I look at him.

We arrive at the Estate and I quickly get down. There's a strange red car. For all I know it does not belongs to Stefan.

Leo follows me inside the elevator and I press the button.

As soon as it opens, I walk hurriedly out and enter inside the house. The door is already open and I can hear a woman arguing inside. I hear Stefan arguing as well.

I walk slowly in the living with Leo trailing behind me. I look at the woman properly and Leo swears under his breath.

Annabelle Arden is back!

"You can't do this Stefan!", she cries. "You have to tell them to take me back. My whole career will be ruin forever if I don't get this chance!"

"I don't fucking care Ana!", Stefan snaps. He's holding a sleepy Liam in his arms.

"You have to talk to them, do you understand! My body is ruined because I gave birth to this thing in your arms! Can't you even do this for me?"

My mouth falls open. How can she talk like this about Liam! I take a step forward but Leo clasps hand.
