MAID IN MANHATTAN

CHAPTER FOUR

FIVE YEARS LATER:

ANNA'S POV;

I was sitting on one of the stool in the kitchen when Mitchell the Nanny came to view with a panicked expression I hired her when I didn't want Mrs Manny to work anymore since I see her has a mother figure in my life now besides, Mitch needed the money as I needed her help back then it was a win win situation but we're good friends now. I just don't want to let her go and she doesn't want to go either since she has no place to go as she is an orphan and she knows my past too. I don't want her to leak it plus it's not like I don't trust her on their contrary,I don't want to take chances

"Ma'am, it's Zion... He's crying while sleeping please you need to come with me ma'am" she said all at once breathlessly. I looked up with a straight face to face her

"I already told you to stop calling me ma'am its Anna and I'm coming right up just gimme few minutes" I said trying to finish my notes. After few minutes, I ran up the stairs into z's room and the view in front of me could make a mother melt and panic at the same time. I know what your questions will be and yes I'm a mother now is not the right time to talk about it let me take care of Zion then we can talk. I went straight to his bed climbed in and cuddled him saying and rubbing soothing words and circles to him apparently, he was tossing around saying I shouldn't let him go.

"Shh baby, mommy is right her my love...I promise I won't leave you no matter what happens OK?! Go back to sleep ..mom is here I'll sleep here okay" he opened is eyes softly and hugged me closely and sleeping soon after. It hurts me seeing him like this knowing I was almost out of his life ....yes Zion is my life now though I didn't get to name him besides, life has given me many chances to live after all the mistakes I have made. I sighed deeply while closing my eyes to stop the tears.

A lot of things has happened since the night I tried to kill myself you see, my dad saved me that night when I almost died all thanks to him that I'm alive to spend the rest of my life with Zion but I had to pay for my mistakes. There were consequences that came with my decision to live again, a life for a life they say.

I had lost my mom few months after which didn't go well and I don't like to talk about it because its still a touchy subject, I found out after my mom's death that I was pregnant with Zion which I tried to abort. That alone brought pain to my chest, knowing I once tried to kill my own flesh and blood made me the worse mom ever. Those periods were tough for me a lot I couldn't handle too much as I became mentally unstable . soon I was taken to mental home where I won't wish my enemy to be, my psychologist helped me and told me that I needed to open up to someone, I started opening up to Mrs Manny my former nanny which helped a lot as she and her daughter ( Korah) were with me all through those time.

After nine miserable months I gave birth to Zion whom after birth I didn't see because I was literarily dying, thinking I might die due to the fact that I started convulsing I told Korah to take care of Zion ,give him name and make sure she accepts him as her son so I couldn't name him . I told the doctors she was his mother and to write as his mother which means I don't have any thing to do with him as his mother though it hurts,I knew I had to... I had my reasons to do so because she is a good human she deserves him and I won't want him to ask why she's not his mom ...... while I was dead I saw my mom she told me now was not my time I should go and take care of my child ,when its time to come to her world she would welcome me with open arms.

I woke up after three days to korah and Mrs Manny crying with my baby in her hands . I was happy, death refused me too many times now. I laughed at the thought of that. Korah gave me back my baby which I'm grateful for, she told me his name is Leonard Mae she had named him after me so I included Zion to the name. That's how my life has been since apart from me graduating and now studying my master degree online of course, Korah visits once a while as she works somewhere in California but never stops calling to check on me always telling me to hang on. Not wanting me relapse again ... Manny well she's now married too which I'm happy for so she's not with me but comes to visit and I also drop Zion over when I have night shift at the clinic.

I'm not who I used to be anymore, you might wonder why I haven't include my dad well, after I put to bed my dad left . we don't talk anymore because you see he signed a waiver saying I'm not his child and he never had a child at all...I knew this few years after he left because his wife came to give me a copy of the contract, she said a lot of hurtful things to me and she also told me she drugged my dad to sign it in order to remove me permanently from his life.

I was sad but let's face it though, I knew he was not going to be here for long after mom death but what do I except? I waited for four years for him but realised a year back that he won't be coming back. I never get to say how much I love him or thank him for the mysterious gifts I get every month. I quickly organized my thoughts when Mitch brought my phone to me, I wiped my tears carefully because those where in the past now and this future will be happy for me and my son and my friends.

I picked the call without checking the caller's ID ." Anna Mae speaking"

"Hey Ann, the boss want us at the hotel now... Its an important meeting I think shits about to go down that will change our lives" Kish said after the long rap I sighed looking down at Zion to see him still asleep.
"Fine I'll be there in a few" I replied back "just get your sexy butt here Stace , I'm sure the boss won't start without you bye" ugghh! Kish is crazy.."okay I'm coming bye" I said curtly as I hung up.

Kish is a 5'5 lady with wavy blond,brown eyes with sun kissed skin very beautiful but not as beautiful as korah. Korah is 5'9 tall grey eyes,caramel skin brunette by the way slim with perfect curve.

I met Kish while I was searching for job and she took me to the hotel saying I would be hired I shouldn't worry, I'm a maid in MANHATTAN hotel now and I've been working there for a year now as I'm twenty one and I'm also a personal assistant to Mister Jesus Ighovaro at the clinic. I'm happy been a maid here and I won't think of being rich plus I just want to be normal... I still dress in baggies but classy baggy too, I have won the best staff of the year too .

I'm happy you know, really happy thank you. Kish doesn't know anything about me but one of her friend and boyfriend Nicole & Bruno knows I'm an "illegitimate daughter of a rich man" ,they found out the day my dad's wife brought those documents to me in the convenience. I begged them not to tell a soul which they accepted but asked we become friends and I give them two hundred grands which I did. Me and Kish are not that close but we're cool tho....we are all friends including Nicole and Bruno too.

I need to get dressed now I'm sure you guys will meet them later but now, I need to get up and get going. I checked the time and it was reading 6:45 I need to get up even though I wanted to hold Z a little I need to attend this urgent meeting even though I took a day off. I gently lifted my arm underneath Zion and stood up to get dressed.

I gave Mitch instructions to take care of Zion,take him to Manny's or the park etcetera. I went straight to my room hoping the meeting was going to end well ,hoping this sinking feeling in my tummy would go away too. After so much ,all I do is hope on things now nothing more than hope
