The Nanny Affair Series novel Chapter 36

I ran to Sara's room and caught her sound asleep.

I went to Riya's room and she was just walking out of her room, holding an empty jar of water.

She went to the kitchen and filled up the empty jar of water.

Coming back, Riya finds me starring at her.

She walks close.

"Salem!! Are you okay, or maybe sleepwalking?" She closed the distance between us.

Riya stepped into the reach of my arms and I dragged her in, closing my arms around her.

76.

I felt peace.

But Riya was so dumbfounded to an extent, she pushed me back and slapped me back to my senses.

"Salem!!! Are you okay!" She takes a step back.

"Yeah,"

I said and walked back to my room.

Riya chased me, she attempted to get no stone unturned to find out the weird demeanor I just demonstrated.

"Tell me what's going on! Or else you will be sorry" Riya threatened to get the truth from me.

I finally got over the shock and attained my attention to her, I know how shaken she was seeing me I saw me in such a manner, but reeling in the truth was no way, the best option for me, so I told a white lie.

"Do you want to know something Riya?" I waited for her response but continued talking, after seeing the gaze in her eyes.

"I know you must be shocked, but I felt it was time to tell me you the truth"

I rode two steps closer and said, "I love you miss Riya! I do know that saying this now, isn't going to change the way I treated you in the past but I was trying not to fall for you, I am sorry".

The startled look on her face seemed to have tripled, she takes her feet back.

"Riya!! Are you okay?" In an attempt to reel in a helping hand, she pushed it away and stormed out of the room.

To her, I must be a confused soul, and I don't blame her at all, I, Andres Khan, seems to have one destination for now and it's making sure that everyone close to my heart is taken away from danger, no matter what kind of danger it is, it's best they be far away from it.

The night drifted away, hurling in the next morning.

I woke up feeling hazy, it must be as a result of the terrifying dream I had last night, not quite long the doors to my room were pushed open, Riya walks in wearing a red gown.

She signaled a maid to bring in the breakfast prepared by her.

"What is this?"I said.

Riya was like, I came to your bedroom to serve you your breakfast.

I took notoriety of the breakfast brought in, but what I was yet to understand is, why?.

"Hmm!! Riya are you feeling okay today?" I asked.

Sara reinstated my eyes and pushed me to speak, "I accept the invitation, but when do we leave?". I asked, "today, as in right now" Riya let out before someone else could, attaining my attention to her.

A few hours later.

We all got dressed and rolled out suitcases downstairs to the living room, Lisa also decided to come with and I don't think Riya was okay by that because she frowned so much.

"Okay then!! Let's go". Elena walks out.

We all drove with her cars and went to the airport.

The air hostess showed my seat number to me and my chair was in the middle of Riya and Lisa

"Hello, Andres!!" Lisa blabs out without thinking, igniting Riya's attention"what did you just call him? Who's Andres?". Riya asked waiting for a comeback.

Immediately Lisa retained her eyes and quietly rephrased her words, "huh!! Did I say, Andres! Who's Andres, you didn't hear me well, Missy!!".

Riya shoots me the same look, got up from her seat, and walked away.

"Phew" luckily she didn't inquire more than that, is this just I, or should I be careful of Lisa as well?

She almost exposed my real identity.

"Sorry Salem! I almost made a huge mistake" she whispered.

"Sorry! Did you just say, you're sorry, don't be, actually it's God's way of telling me that my real identity will soon be exposed to Riya,". I answered back, sitting next to her.

"Wait!! Are you telling me that, Riya doesn't know anything about who you are?". She asked again
