The Unexpected Nanny 2

18- Confronting Melissa

Antonio was sitting at the table looking at a couple envelopes that were for Isabella, and Gabriella, and heard the door fly open. He turned his head, and watched the girls run up the stairs, with bags in their hands.

"Girls, come here a minute." Antonio called out. Sadie started walking inside, and over to Antonio, then sat at the table giving him a serious look.

"We have to talk after you hand those letters to them."

"Now what?" he asked, sighing.

The girls walked down the stairs, and slowly over to Antonio, scared he was going to tell them they couldn't go to the dance.

"Sit down." he smiled. He looked down at the envelopes in his hands, and handed them the letters from Harlow "These are from your mother, you can read them here, or in your room, wherever you would like."

The girls smiled, and looked at what he handed them, the girls looked at each other, then over at Sadie. "If you don't mind, I'd like to read mine alone." Isabella said quietly.

"That's fine, they're for you, and you can do whatever you would like with them. I'm sure she had something very special to say to you." Antonio says, smiling. Even though he was curious as to what she said, but knew it was meant privately for them.

The girls stood up, and headed upstairs to read their letters. Sadie then walked upstairs to make sure the other kids were in bed, hoping they were asleep, and not fooling around, before she had her talk with Antonio.

While Sadie was checking on the kids, Antonio walked into his office to look over the paperwork that Ethan finished for him, saw numbers that were music to his ears, and grinned.

Sadie walked in, and sat down on his lap, looking at the papers on his desk. She didn't understand what all the numbers meant, but what she saw she assumed was a huge profit if he sold one of his properties.

"So, what I have to tell you, I'm not sure what to think, but it's something that needs to get looked into." She proceeded to say. His hands wrapped around her stomach, and turned her a bit so he could look at her.

"What would that be?"

"It has to do with Ethan... we ran into Melissa at the mall, and she had a little girl with her. Her name is Faith, and the little girl told me that she was four years old. After it hit me, I did the math... what if that is Ethan's little girl?"

Antonio pushed himself back, and widened his eyes, as he looked at Sadie "Seriously?"

"I'm dead serious, I asked the girls who she looked like without giving them any clues, and they both said Ethan. I also thought the same thing. Melissa was acting nervous around us, and kept looking around like she didn't want to be around us. When Faith mentioned how old she was, I watched Melissa squeeze her hand tighter."

"I believe Melissa told Ethan that she had been married for three years, so it could be a possibility. But I also remember Ethan claiming she had been cheating on him." She paused, and thought about what the little girl looked like, and scratched her head "She looked exactly like Ethan, and I mean, exactly like him." Sadie stood up quickly and turned to Antonio "He needs to know."

A couple days later, Antonio was looking at his laptop screen thinking about what Sadie told him. He had been doing some digging into Melissa, he called the courts, and paid to have the information faxed over to him about the birth of Faith, he called his secretary into the room, and had her do some more digging on her, to help speed things up.

He made a phone call to Ethan, and asked to meet him for lunch, hoping to have more information before he left go meet him. Throughout the morning Antonio made as many calls as he could, and called the hospital the little girl was born at. He was told due to confidential information, the paperwork that was signed at the time, they were unable to give him any information about her.
