Lucas:

  I twirl around in my office chair in giddiness. I can't believe I got her under my thumb. This is going to be fun. An image of her face when I told her to run like the wind, flashes through my mind and I chuckle. I could practically see steam coming out of her ears. Did I overdo it? Nah. I can't be softhearted now . Let me wait for her reaction to what I have got planned for her next.
  I pick my pen off the desk and flick it between my fingers. Anxiously waiting for what I know would come next.
  She should have seen it by now.
"Scream in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" I say and snap my fingers. I don't hear any screaming. Hmmmm. Maybe she hasn't gotten to the kitchen yet. I should just count again.
"5, 4, 3, 2__"
"Here's your coffee Sir."Benedicta's head poke through the open door, startling me. I quickly sit up in my chair and pretend to scribble things down on a paper.
"Sir?" She walks in and I pretend to just notice her.
"Oh if it isn't the Nanny." I jab at her but the sweet smile she gives me is suspicious.
"The one and only. Sir." She sounds cheery. I narrow my eyes at her as she drops the cup of coffee on my table.
"Enjoy." She sings

. What's making her so cheery? Didn't she see the spiders I told James to put inside the coffee maker? I bite on my lip ring thoughtfully. Or did they run away?
"It's going to get cold if you don't drink it Sir? Or do you think it's too strong for you? Maybe I should just make it lesser strong." She starts to reach for the cup but I grab it before she gets to it. Who says it's too strong for me? Looking into her challenging stare, I take a sip of the coffee.
"Delicious" I say without tasting it. I don't even like coffee that much except I really need the kick.
"It should be. The special ingredients you left inside the coffee maker added an interesting taste after I grinded it with the coffee beans" She says at the same time I spit out the coffee in my mouth.
"What the hell!" I scream and start scrubbing my tongue clean. I just drank spider coffee. I am going to die. This woman is evil. Gosh! I grab my T-shirt and scrub my tongue some more. This won't do.
"Peace! Peace! Get me water! And maybe some red oil!" I yell as I fly pass Benedicta, out of my office and towards the kitchen.
"Where are you going Sir?" I can hear Benedicta giggling behind me and my anger flare. Forget spider poisoning. I am going to kill her. I stop in my tracks and turn back to glare at her.
"You ! You poisoned me!" I storm towards her, ready to give her my mind when she pulls something out of her pocket, flashing it to my face.
"My dad always loved his coffee made with this." She says. I grab the sachet from her and read it. 'Instant coffee mix'
So this was the special ingredient? What about the spiders? I wrinkle my brows in confusion and I see her eyes light up.
"Oh, these are yours right? Found them in the kitchen." To my horror, she brings out three huge spiders from her pocket and try to hand them to me!
"Arrrrgggggghhhh!!!" I scream like a little girl. Did I tell you, I am afraid of spiders? Well, now you know.
"Get those away from me!! Throw them out!!" I yell as I start moving back while the evil woman keeps moving forward with those hairy creatures in her grasp. I start sneezing uncontrollably. Yup, I am also allergic.
"Okay, Sir." Benedicta smirks before she throw the spiders up, towards me and I take to my heels, screaming and shouting for help.
"What's going on?"I see Daisy, Jakes daughter reach the foot of the stairs with sleepy eyes and I race to stand behind her.
"Spiders!" I yell and I hear laughing. I turn to see James laughing really hard with my house keeper. The traitors.
"Stop laughing and grab those monsters!" I yell at them and the housekeeper quickly sobers up and grab the three spiders, taking them out.
"Hi cutie. I am Benedicta. Your new friend. You can call me Bennie for short." Benedicta who is smiling down at Daisy says and I snot.
"More like vicious Bee for short."I grumble.
"I like your hair." Daisy says and I snot again. What's there to like?
"Awwwn. Thanks cutie. I can make your hair just like mine. Come on, let's get you breakfast then we can move to braiding your hair. Then you will look like princess tangled." Benedicta says and the big smile on Daisy's face tells me Benedicta has won her over. Bummer! I was hoping they would hate her. Girls are so easy to deceive. I won't let that Bee woman get to Jason too. I should go wake him up. He's going to be my only alliance now.
  I eye the two ladies as they strut away from me before I take the stairs up to get Jason.

Benedicta:
I swear, that was fun. Who would have thought the big Master is afraid of spiders. My stomach still hurts from laughing too hard. Score one for the Nanny!
"I want custard today. With lots of milk." The really cute kid who I now know as Daisy tells me and I nod. I love kids. They remind me of my little boy.
"Let's make breakfast fun." I tell her, then turn on my iPod and connect my earpiece in. I sit Daisy on the counter so we could share the earpiece as I make her custard. The song as always takes me away from this place and I see myself performing on stage. I grab a long spoon and use it as a microphone as Daisy and I sing our lungs out.
I wiggle my hips as I dance to the tune. "God, Jake can sing and he's so hot. I wish I can bite him." I say out loud and Daisy giggles.
"That's my dad you want to bite." I hear a tiny voice say and I quickly take off the earpiece. Lucas is standing in the kitchen's entry way with a cute as hell kid. Why does he remind me of someone famous? I furrow my brows at him.
"Say what now?" I ask and the kid frowns.
"You just said you want to bite my dad." He says looking at me with a dark expression. I am confused.

Read " Mirage " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. When did I?
"See Jason. Some women are just men-crazy." I hear Lucas whisper to the kid and I throw him a dark look. He just shrugs.
"Jake is their father." He deadpans and I blush beet red. I look back to Daisy who is giggling.
"In fairness, dad is hot." She laughs harder.
"Oh. Ummm I meant his lyrics. Yes, his songs are hot. Umm because they sell fast." I say knowing I am not convincing anyone.
"Yea, right. I need breakfast." Jason tells Lucas who nods and point to me.
"you heard the child. Get him breakfast before you swoon over his dad." Lucas grabs Jason's hand and lead him to a chair.

Uggggh
Bad luck magnet!
