“Where are his dad and Mom?” she asked old Mr. Paul. The butler had no response to it.

“They are not really his mom and dad Miss. Galanis, the little master is the son of the older master’s sister. They died in an accident before he turned 1, and ever since the elder master turned into a rock, they don’t seem to have time for the little master anymore. The little one gets lonely, up until you came along, he wouldn’t talk much. The older master tried everything to get him to talk and be happy, but he wouldn’t. The older master doesn’t seem to understand that the kid needs love. The older master is gone for days and if not months. His girlfriend doesn’t care about the little master, sometimes I feel like she is in this relationship for money and luxuries. I feel really bad for the little master. These people have money, but don’t understand that people need love more than money.” Said the butler with a distaste for his older master’s girlfriend and his own master.

Alzea looked at the kid sadly who was now playing forgetting his world, her eyes teared going back to her own childhood. She promised herself as long as she takes care of the little kid, she would not make him feel alone and give him all the love he deserves. Growing up in this world is hard in itself and growing up without parents is even more painful. Her eyes teared up looking at the little buddy before her. She bent and kissed him with tears in her eyes. The kid seemed to not understand why she was crying and looked up at her with curious eyes and lifted his tiny little hands to wipe her tears. This made tears flow from her eyes even more. “Why does God have to punish little kids?” she thought to herself. Kids deserve happiness, not painful pasts, and trauma.

Alzea went home after the kid went to bed, she got home and took the junk mail laying outside of her house and a picture of a man interested her, she picked the paper up and looked at him reading the title “Famous business tycoons the Cavallo brothers expanding their business and buy another architectural firm”.

“Rich people and their investments”, she scoffed and was about to throw it when his picture caught her attention, he looked attractive is an understatement, wanting to know more about him she searched his name on google. The pictures made her breath stop, he was beyond attractive, maybe like the god Apollo, her comparison was apt. After all, she is half Greek. She was lost looking at the god before her. Every picture of him made him look like a king, afraid of nothing, dominating, and very delicious she thought. “Delicious”, really? Where did I come up with that?

“Boo”, Blake shouted in her ear. This made Alzea drop her phone, “Blake, you made me drop my phone”, said Alzea reaching for her phone but before she could, Blake beat her to it. Looking at her phone screen she asked, “why are you looking at Rafael Cavallo’s pictures?”

“Do you know him? Asked Alzea.

“Half of the world does babe, he is a billionaire and a playboy, there are conspiracy theories that he may be in the mafia along with his brother. His brother Victor is engaged to actress Maya Matthews, they are supposed to wed, but seemed to have delayed it due to reasons god knows and I think Rafael is also set to marry someone according to some news article I read”, said Blake looking at the same screen.

“Oh!!” Alzea said.  “Do you like him?” Blake asked. Alzea laughed at that and said, “Many people like celebrities Blake, if he is who you say he is, I am sure he has millions of fans, and I am not about to become one of them. He looks like a god with his ripped body, and I agree with that, but he is not for me, and neither am I for him. It’s like asking Zeus to come down, it is not possible. Billionaires won’t settle Blake, even dreaming for it is a sin, commoners are like playthings for them, we won’t even be able to come closer to him, I know the reality. Besides he wouldn’t even look at me, he is way out of my league”, she said and closed the page and freshened up. As soon as she hit the bed, she got pulled into her dreamland.

Hello beautiful people! Can you guess whom Alzea is working for? Lame question, right?
