[•••Richie&Elena•••]
CHAPTER FIVE
√√√√√
Elena woke up early, feeling refreshed. She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Downstairs, Mrs. Harper was setting the table for breakfast. Elena hugged her from behind, "Good morning, Mum." Mrs. Harper smiled and asked, "How was your night?" Just then, Kraig came downstairs, hugging Elena tightly. "I'll miss you, Sis," he said, faking tears. Elena playfully pushed his head away, "Ouch, Kraig, stop that! You're suffocating me." After a quick goodbye, Elena headed out the door, leaving Mrs. Harper to mutter, "Gosh, this girl..."
Meanwhile, at Richard's estate, Lisa was getting ready for school. "Dad!" she shouted, running into the dining room. Richard smiled and pecked her forehead, "What's that, Princess?" Lisa asked, "What about my promise?" Richard smiled, knowing exactly what she meant.
At the gate, Elena stood in awe, gazing at the grand mansion. "Wow, this guy must be a billionaire! No wonder he's rude and arrogant," she thought to herself. When Dean opened the gate, Elena introduced herself, "I'm here for the nanny job." Dean showed her in, and Elena's eyes widened as she took in the opulent decor.
Richard answered the door, and Lisa looked up at him with confusion. "Are you expecting someone?" she asked. Richard nodded, "Yes, Princess. I hired a new nanny for you." Elena's arrival caught Richard off guard, and he cleared his throat, "Ah, good afternoon." Elena looked around, taking in the grandeur, unaware of the four "angry eyes" glaring at her.
Lisa hissed, staring at Elena with disdain. "I see you're staring at our house like you've never seen a fine one before," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "By the way, spaghetti and meatballs for lunch." Elena turned to Richard, expecting an apology for Lisa's behavior, but instead, he said, "Make sure you prepare it before she comes back." Elena's eyes nearly popped out in shock.
"Find an empty room and drop off your luggage," Richard instructed, leaving Elena to navigate the vast mansion alone. After settling in, Elena headed to the kitchen, searching for ingredients. Within 40 minutes, she had prepared lunch and was pacing around the living room, feeling a bit lonely. "I should call Mum," she thought, heading to her room. As she dialed, her mum answered, "Hello, Lena! How are you, dear?" Elena chatted with her mum, feeling a bit more at ease in the grand but intimidating mansion.
After 20 minutes of discussion, the call ended, and Elena wondered what to do next.
Lisa sat on a bench near a mango tree, reading a novel, when Becky and her friends walked up to her, laughing. "See who we have here," Sandra, one of Becky's friends, said, laughing. Lisa ignored them, which angered Becky. "There will be a PTA meeting on Friday; make sure to come with your mother, if you're not motherless," Becky said with a smirk before walking away with her friends.
Immediately, Lisa buried her face in her laps and started crying, "Mum, where are you? Please come back home."
At Real Oxford High, Kraig shouted, running after Havanna. "Anna... Anna!" She had been ignoring him, why not, since he chose Summer over her. When he caught up with her, he was already breathing hard. "Havanna, I'm sorry; I didn't mean to ignore you. I'm just doing it for both of our safety," he spoke with sincerity. Havanna was trying hard not to cry; she wasn't even paying attention anymore, all she wanted was to smash her lips on his and taste those sexy lips of his.
After what felt like forever, Havanna disengaged from the hug and looked at his ocean-blue eyes. "I want to tell you something, Kraig. Let's meet after school; I'll text you." She pecked his cheeks and left. Meanwhile, Kraig was still standing there, holding his cheek and smiling like someone who owns a lottery. When someone smacked his head from behind.
"What's up, guy?" why are you smiling like a lunatic?. Craig asked, and Kraig shook his head sadly. "She can't like me; you don't know how rich people behave. I'm sure she only takes me as a friend," he muttered sadly, which made Craig pat his back. "I'm sure she did like you," he said as they left, chatting.
Immediately they left, Summer and her friends appeared from their hiding place.
"I told you, that Havana girl likes him," Pearl said, but got a glare from Summer. "No, it can't be possible. I need to act quick," Summer said with gritted teeth, which made Pearl and Bianca exchange glances before they left.
Lisa got down from the car and headed to the door. She opened it and the spaghetti aroma hit her; she licked her lips and entered the kitchen. Elena had just woken up and was going downstairs when she saw a figure entering the kitchen. She followed Lisa, wondering who she was. When she noticed it was the little witch, she turned to leave when she heard, "Serve my lunch; keep it at the dining ASAP." Lisa said and went to her room.
Elena did as she was told, not without murmuring. Twenty minutes later, Lisa came out and headed to the dining table. She picked up her cutlery and started eating. Meanwhile, Elena was looking at her, smiling at the way she ate, and wondering what made her so rude. "If you're done staring, go get my pineapple juice," Lisa said, and Elena nodded and brought it to her immediately.
A few minutes later, Lisa had finished eating. "I'll make sure you leave like others," Lisa said inwardly with a devilish smirk.

At the park, Kraig and Havanna could be seen on a bench near an ice cream shop, looking at the kids playing while smiling. "Em, Anna, you said you have something to tell me," Kraig said, looking straight into her eyes. "I'll be back," she said and went to the ice cream shop nearby. "What's with her?" Kraig muttered, looking at the direction she took.
Havanna returned with two ice creams and handed one to Kraig. "Thanks," he said and started licking it immediately, while Havanna smiled. Havanna opened hers and was about to eat when she saw Kraig staring at her. "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" she said, touching her face. "No," Kraig said, staring at her obviously; he was nervous. He didn't know if he should tell her about his feelings or keep it to himself. "I want to tell you something," he said, and Havanna looked up. "I'm all ears," she said, wondering what he wanted to tell her all of a sudden. "I like you, Anna," he said, and her eyes widened in surprise. Before he could finish, she smashed her lips on his...
" Richard and Ranger" could be seen chatting and laughing while discussing some random stuff. "Let's go grab a drink," Richard said, and Ranger looked at him in disbelief. "You mean you want to drink?" Ranger asked to be sure. "Yes, any problem with that?" Richard asked, rolling his eyeballs. "Nah, I just want to know if you're okay." Let's go; they both left the office together.
Table 9, Tatiana said, "Mr. Qulams," and Tatiana rushed to table nine immediately. "Place your order," she said, smiling cheerfully, but cut off when she sighted Richard. "Place your order," she demanded with a cold voice, which made Richard wonder if they had met anywhere before. "Two bottles of vodka," Ranger said, smiling like an idiot. She nodded and left for their order. "What's with this smile?" Richard asked, and Ranger touched his heart. "Oh, my heart, this girl is damn beautiful," but not to compare to that angel. "Which angel are you talking about?" Richard asked, confused. "I mean your daughter's nanny," he said, and Richard scoffed. He was about to talk when Tatiana came and dropped their order. "Thanks," Ranger said, and they started drinking.
.Elena was sitting on a sofa watching her favorite movie, Twist of Fate, when the door opened, and Richard came in half dead. He was madly drunk; Elena was trying hard not to laugh out when she couldn't hold it anymore, she burst out laughing hysterically. "Richard staggered to the sofa, murmuring some unknown words to himself, not aware that there was a small stool behind him. He hit his leg on the stool and fell on top of Elena, and her eyes widened. She tried pushing him off, but he was too heavy for her. She was still struggling when she felt something cold on her lips, which made her eyes widen...
