THE CEO AND ME!

It had been one whole day and Madison had not come out of her room yet.

We first thought that she was extremely angry and while dining, Anna Maria said that we should give her some time to get used to me being here.

So we ate our dinner in silence. It was for the first time, I was having something so full and delicious for dinner as I was not allowed to eat anything else than salads and green leaves to maintain my health and figure.

I ate it all without listening to the voice in my head constantly nagging me about how I should stop eating and run a mile for eating a quarter of it.

But I did not let it get onto me and continued swallowing and savoring the food that Anna Maria made for us so lovingly.

Later that night, she kept Madison's food enclosed on the table and we went to bed hoping she would come out and eat it.

But when we woke up the next morning, the food was untouched and it made Anna Maria sad and worried.

She knocked on Madi's door but she did not answer. When she unlocked the door, there was no one. The window was opened, and it very quietly stated that Madi had left the house without letting anyone of us know about it.

Anna Maria tried her phone so many times but the stubborn girl would not just answer. I did not know that she hated me being here that much.

And that made me feel not just a little bit a lot worse for Anna Maria. I had no pity feeling for Madison but I cared about Anna Maria.

I did not like watching her facial feature turn to sadness and remorseful.

I felt like one of those who ruined a happy family in one go. Like an outsider who destroyed and crushed the happiness of a wholesome and content family.

Anna Maria concluded that she must have gone to her own apartment which took me by surprise because I did not know or had any idea, Madison had her own apartment.

Anna Maria filled me in with it saying how she earned that apartment by working her ass off in the job where she worked.

I felt ashamed of how Madison and I were of the same age but she was earning, had her own apartment while I was broke with no house and no future or aspiration.

While Madi grew up in with a lack of facilities and I got everything anyone could ever dream of but it turned out all to be in clear waste.

I spent my rest of the day, daydreaming and switching my cell phone on for the nth time, hoping for one of Josh's texts to pop in if not call.

And not a single text popped in or any call. I started to doubt if he even cared about me at all or let alone like me enough to consider me his fiance if not love.

The news of Rutherford property all over the world being froze was everywhere. Looking at that, Josh should have known by now that I was kicked out of my only home.

I strolled around the neighborhood with so many thoughts. I kept everything at bay by letting myself believe that Josh must have gotten busy in one of his business meetings and lost track of time.

I would be meeting him at the party anyway so I was looking forward to things. The only thing that kept bothering me was not having a proper dress to attend the party.

Later that night, Madison dropped by to collect some of her belongings. Anna Maria asked her to drop her anger and come stay with us again.

But Madi was clear that she would not come back until I was out of here. That led to another fight and currently, we were in the middle of it.

"That is impossible. I m not letting Tinsley go anywhere, Madison. I swear by that so you better accept it and keep your differences aside and then we all can be happy."

Anna Maria said, and this time before Madison could say anything, I finally decided to step in and get involved in the big discussion which was basically about me.

"Madison...Madison stop...and take a breather now, will ya??"

I started drawing both of their attention and before Madison could open her mouth again, I continued.

"I know that me being here is not something you like but you know what?? You really should not bother much as I m moving out of here in five days' timing anyway. "

As I let that out, Anna Maria looked in my way, shocked, totally not expecting to hear that. The old woman's face went back to being sad.

"Josh, my fiance is going to throw a party five days from now and I m of course attending it so in five days, I would be out of here and you would never have to see me again so....why don't we both remain to maintain silence and peace only for the sake of Anna Maria because that can have sacrificed a lot for the both of us..."

I stopped right there as I got a little emotional saying the last part which was true in so many ways.

She was just a nanny but she became so much more to me. She was paid to be with me and when every one of the workers who used to serve us left right away after my parents died, she stayed put with me through it all.

She had always been there for me and I did not or could not remember one eventful day of my life where I had not seen Anna Maria by my side.

Madison did not say much and just headed back inside her room mouthing how she could not be more excited in five days for me to finally bid farewell in this house.
