Wanted: Perfect Nanny for the Heir's Babies

Chapter 1

Aeon Grae de Dios couldn't believe what he just heard from his abuelo's personal attorney. Policarpio Gomez, his grandpa's lawyer had just read to him his last will. 

Sa huling habilin ng kanyang lolo na si Don Roman de Dios, isa sa pinakamayamang negosyante sa bansa, nakasaad dito na hindi niya makukuha ang buong kompanya nito, ang pito sa sampung malls na ipinatayo nito, ang mga hotels na pagmamay-ari ng kanyang lolo, ang ancenstral house at hacienda sa probinsiya at higit sa lahat, ang kalahati ng kayamanan nito hangga't hindi niya pa nagagawa  ang mga kundisyong nakasaad sa dokumentong hawak niya ngayon.

Naiiling na ibinaling niya ang atensiyon kay Atty. Policarpio matapos mapasadahan ng tingin ang mga papeles na hawak. With disbelief written on his face, he asked him,

"Is this for real, attorney? What was Lolo even thinking when he wrote this?" 

Attorney Pol who was sitting comfortably on the visitor's chair across his table while scanning the copy of the documents on his hand lifted his face up and met his gaze after adjusting his eyeglasses.

"Of course this is real, Aeon. You see, your lolo wrote and signed these documents few months before he died. At bago siya namatay, nagkausap pa kami tungkol dito. Sinabi pa niyang ibigay ko ito sa'yo pagkatapos ng kanyang libing but I had a prior appointment the day after your Lolo's burial kaya ngayon lang ako pumunta rito para kausapin ka tungkol dito."

Yes, his lolo died last week due to lung cancer. Noong isang araw lang ito inilibing. At sa araw ng libing nito, usap-usapan kung kanino kaya mapupunta ang lahat ng naiwan nitong kayamanan.

His Lolo Roman was a former Spanish military officer. After he retired, he chose to settle down in the Philippines and put up his own company. Maliit lang iyon noong una.

It didn't take many years before the company expands. Lumago iyon at naging kilala hindi lang sa Pilipinas maging sa ibang bansa rin. Dahil doon naging maraming kilalang businessman ang nais na mag-invest sa kompanya nito.

His abuelo became a well-known business tycoon. Ginamit na rin nito ang oportunidad na iyon para makapagpatayo ng chains of five star hotels, and huge malls. He also owns vast of land, an ancestral house, and hacienda in his grandmom's province.

Since he was his only grandson, ini-expect na niya na sa kanya lahat mapupunta ang naiwang kayamanan at ari-arian nito. Wala naman kasi itong ibang kamag-anak sa bansa dahil halos lahat nasa Spain ang mga ito at may kanya-kanya ring negosyo. May lahing Espanyol kasi ang kanyang lolo at nakapag-asawa lang ng isang Filipina at dito nito napiling manirahan. His abuela passed away when he was just twelve. Ang mama naman niya na nag-iisang anak ng mga ito ay naninirahan na sa Italy kasama ang bagong pamilya nito.

His mom used to be a performer. Magaling itong sumayaw, umarte at kumanta. Naging theater actress din ito hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas maging sa ibang bansa rin. It was in their show in New York when Carlota met Aeon's dad. They instantly feel in love with each other but their relationship didn't work. Huli na nang malaman ng mommy niya na may asawa na pala ito dahil nagdadalang tao na ito sa kanya noon.

After her Mama Carlota gave birth to him at the age of twenty, she realized that she couldn't give up her career yet so she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a well-known international theater actress. Pero kaakibat ng pagtupad ng pangarap nito ay ilang taon ding pangungulila rito ni Aeon.

Nang maiwan siya sa bansa noong mag-iisang taon pa lamang siya, ang lolo at lola na niya ang tumayo bilang kanyang mga magulang. 

Mula kasi nang magkaroon ng sariling pangalan ang mama niya sa larangan ng teatro, sumikat at nagkaroon ng maraming proyekto, minsan sa isang taon na lang ito kung umuwi sa Pilipinas. Madalas pa nga ay hindi nila ito nakakapiling sa araw ng pasko at bagong taon. She was never been there on Aeon's birthdays. Palaging busy ito at hindi man lang nagkakaroon ng oras para makausap niya sa Skype.
