As the day drew to a close, Jr instructed the butler to find a female helper to assist Bella and the girls. "I want someone kind and trustworthy," he said, his eyes serious. "Someone who can help them settle in and feel at home."
The butler nodded, his face expressionless. "Sir, I will do as you wish," he said, before disappearing to carry out Jr's instructions.
Meanwhile, the girls were shown to their rooms, but they were reluctant to leave Bella's side. They had grown accustomed to being with her 24/7, and the thought of being separated from her, even for a short time, was unsettling.
"I want to stay with Bella," Lisa said, her voice trembling.
The other girls nodded in agreement, their eyes wide with worry.
Bella smiled and hugged them tightly. "It's okay, girls," she said. "We can all stay together in my room. We can play games, talk, and just enjoy each other's company."
The girls cheered, relieved that they wouldn't have to leave Bella's side. They spent the rest of the evening playing in Bella's room, laughing and chatting together.
As the night drew to a close, Jr knocked on the door and asked if they were all alright. "You should ask for whatever you need," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You're safe now, and you should feel at home here."
The girls smiled, feeling grateful towards Jr. They thanked him, and Jr smiled, his eyes warm with kindness.
"The compound is beautiful," he said. "There's a pool, a garden, and plenty of space to run around. You're free to explore, and I hope you'll enjoy your stay here."
As Jr left, Bella felt a sense of peace settle over her. She knew that she still had a long way to go, but for the first time in months, she felt truly hopeful.
The girls settled in for the night, exhausted but happy. They knew that they were safe, and that they had found a true friend in Jr.
As Bella drifted off to sleep, she smiled, feeling grateful for this new beginning. She knew that there would be challenges ahead, but she was ready to face them head-on, knowing that she had Jr and the girls by her side.
The next morning, Bella woke up feeling refreshed and renewed. She stretched, yawned, and got out of bed, ready to face the day.
The girls were already up, playing in the living room. Bella smiled, watching them laugh and chase each other around.
Jr appeared, a cup of coffee in his hand. "Good morning," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I hope you slept well."
Bella smiled, feeling grateful towards him. "We did, thank you," she said. "This place is amazing."
Jr smiled, his eyes warm with kindness. "I'm glad you like it," he said. "I want you to feel at home here."
As they talked, the butler appeared, a middle-aged woman by his side. "Sir, this is Mrs. White," he said. "She'll be helping you with the girls."
Bella smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She knew that she couldn't do it alone, and having someone to help her would make all the difference.
"Thank you," she said, smiling at Mrs. White. "I appreciate your help."
Mrs. White smiled, her eyes warm with kindness. "You're welcome, dear," she said. "I'm happy to help."
As the day drew to a close, Bella felt a sense of peace settle over her. She knew that she still had a long way to go, but she was ready to face the challenges ahead, knowing that she had Jr, Mrs. White, and the girls by her side.
