CHAPTER 48

The workers in Harry's mansion could be seen moving to and fro, it was Angel's birthday and they want to give her a early morning surprise. The decorations were so beautiful, with colorful balloons. "Angel's world" was written on each balloons.

"Come on, she's coming. She's coming downstairs!" Bethel gave the workers a heads up.

Sylvia smiled and wheeled the cakes stand to the center of the living room. They had made five gigantic cakes for her and all were pink in color.

"Happy birthday, Angel!"

"Happy birthday, Honey!

"Happy birthday" " Wishes filled the whole house as Angel stepped into the living room.

The whole workers stood there with different wrapped gifts in their hands.

Sylvia already made arrangements for the cakes and it was sitting prettily on the table stand..

Harry carried Angel in his arms as they sang for her.

She was still in her pajamas, she only brushed before coming downstairs with Harry who had been the first person to wish her happy birthday.

He had given her a tiny and expensive necklace as a gift though he still had more gifts for her.

Bethel could see the beautiful necklace, laying cutely on Angel's neck and she knew Harry had given it to her.

She hoped Angel would like the gift she made for her.

They finished singing and wished her Happy birthday once more, Harry dropped her gently on her feet to blow off the lit candles on her cake.

She did and everyone clapped happily.

"I'm five today" She giggled, Bethel smiled and squatted to her height, "won't you cut your cake?" She asked in a smile.

"Of course, Mom" Angel let out a cheeky smile and cut a slice out of the cake. She moaned in contentment as she took a bite, Bethel wasn't looking, she was directing the other helps.

"Mom, aaaahh" Angel let out

"Aaaahh" Bethel said and Angel pushed the remaining part of the cake in her mouth.

Everyone smiled.

"Thanks everyone, i love you all" Angel said with a mouthful of strawberry cake.

Whipped cream was smeared on her cheeks and Harry helped her wipe it off with a smile.

Everyone dropped their gifts for her and she thanked them one after the other.

Harry promised everyone they're gonna have a nice treat today.

They were all happy, knowing how fun today's gonna be.

Bethel was the last people to drop her gift.

"And this is mine" she stated, stretching a large box to Angel, it wasn't wrapped.

"Happy birthday once again" Bethel pecked her cheeks and Angel smiled Happily.

Angel opened Slyvia's gift first and it was a stunning tiara that Angel wore on her hair immediately.

She squealed as she hugged slyvia, the head maid.

"Thanks Slyvia, i love it" Angel grinned.

"I'm glad you do" Slyvia smiled.

"I'm gonna open yours next" Angel said as she sat down, dragging Bethel's gift to her tiny legs. Everywhere suddenly became quiet, that moment seemed like what everyone was waiting for.

Harry could see how hopeful Bethel looked.

She was obviously hoping Angel would like the gift and he couldn't wait to see what was in there himself.

They watched Angel as she opened the box and there laid a stunning purple dress with crystals around the neckline, it's a knee length gown, it was plain down to the waist and was gathered from the waist down to the knee, the bottom was covered with precious pearls.

It looked just like a little princess dress.

It was so elegant and eye catching that they all gasped.

Angel ran into Bethel's arm, deeply astonished by the gift.

She has beautiful dresses but this dress Bethel had given her surpassed them all.

It's so simple yet with a touch of royalty which made Angel feel so special.

"I'm glad you like it" Bethel smiled, relieved.

Harry also commented on how beautiful the dress is.

"Happy birthday" Unfamiliar voices said and they all turned to the door.

Bethel looked confused cause she has never seen them before.

A beautiful teenager, a lady of her age and a stunning woman whose outfit screamed 'wealth' .

Angel jumped up with a scream and ran to them happily.

"That's Emma, Evelyn. My two sisters and my mother" Harry said to Bethel.

"Oh.. my!" She gasped.

How couldn't she have known? Harry had said it on the plane that they might appear today and they did.

They looked more beautiful, more than what Harry described.

His younger sister was in a jumpsuit, red heels and leopard coat, with huge diamond earrings and a silver necklace, her hair was dyed red and packed into a tight ponytail which accentuated her face.

Bright green eyes, pointed nose and thin lips which she had obviously applied red lip gloss on.

She looked like a model, a striking model who can appear in front of a magazine without question.

"Baby" Emma teased Angel and laughed.

Bethel noticed she has a nice voice too.

"Granny, I thought you both weren't gonna come, I'll be so pissed"Angel said in Mrs Crown's arm.

"Oh.. my, you've added so much weight, what has Slyvia been feeding you with" Mrs Crown asked as she gently placed Angel back to her feet.

Bethel could boldly say Harry got his striking looks from his mum.

She looks far younger than her age and would easily pass for Harry's aunt.

She didn't look old enough to have a son his age, she still had a trim figure, Harry once told her she plays golf and tennis with his father on weekends, she was athletic and in good shape.

She was wearing a black channel cocktail dress with small silver earrings. She has warm blue eyes, her straight blonde hair was pulled back and there was this gracefulness hovered around her, just with a look, one would know she's immensely rich!

"You guys should chat outside with others" Mrs Crown told the four bodyguards standing behind her , they looked so huge and mean than Harold's bodyguards.

They bowed and left.

Mrs Crown stretched out her arms and Harold knew what that means.

He pulled his mum into a hug with a broad smile.

"Billionaire Harry Crown" She teased and they both laughed.

Bethel stood alone nervously, she likes them and hope they'll like her in return and she has been wanting to meet them.

Harry kissed his Mum on the cheeks and she did the same.

Emma jumped on Harry's back after his embrace with his Mum was over.

They both fell on the couch, laughing as they teased eachother. While Evelyn had Angel on her lap, playing with her.

Mrs Crown greeted the workers, then she came face to face with Bethel.

She knew who she was after the scandal with Steph at the Ice cream parlor.

Emma was staring hard at Bethel and Bethel knew immediately that the girl doesn't like her, Mrs Crown's face was expressionless.

"Meet Bethel, she's Angel's nanny and.."

"Blah blah blah" Evelyn, Harry's elder sibling rolled her eyes.

"That was rude" Harry scolded sternly.

"I'm sorry brother" Evelyn said, giving Bethel a scornful look.

Mrs Crown hadn't cast her any bad looks but the looks she was giving her wasn't warm either.

Bethel felt like disappearing.

"My nanny is a very good person, i like her so much" Angel said.

"Yes she is" Sylvia agreed.

"She's a great friend of mine" Harry said.

"That's what you say until she turns out to be another monster again" Evelyn said.

She started hating on Angel's nannies cause they are either here to seduce Harru or end up treating Angel badly and this lady here didn't look different, though she have to admit Bethel's very beautiful and she looks calm too but looks can be damn deceiving! The past nannies had looked calmer but they ended up doing something worst.

Bethel didn't just know what to feel, she had been looking forward to meeting them and they ended up doing this to her.

"Wow!" Emma screamed, startling everyone.

She lifted the dress Bethel had gifted Angel and Mrs Crown was wowed too.

"This is beautiful" Mrs Crown mouthed.

"Brother gave this to you?" Evelyn asked, admiring the dress greatly.

"No" Angel giggled.

"My nanny did" She added.

"Ohh... it must have cost a fortune, i bet she used all of her savings..." Evelyn said. "Just to impress Harry" She added inwardly.

Women like doing things for Angel just to impress Harry and she's not surprised Bethel is in that league.

"No" Angel laughed this time.

"My nanny made the dress, she's a fashion designer" Angel added surprising them further.

"Well..." Evelyn dropped the dress like she hadn't admired it in the first place.

"We will retreat to our rooms" Mrs Crown said.

"Come for your gift later" Emma winked at Angel who nodded and smiled.

They left for their rooms and the workers retired to their works, the chefs were around, they returned to the kitchen to start cooking.

"I'm so sorry Bethel" Harry said.

"It's fine" Bethel said, trying to smile.

"I should go dress Angel up" She said as she took Angel's hand.

Harry sighed, seeing how unhappy Bethel looked.

"I'm so sorry about-"

"I will go dress her up, you need not to be sorry. I understand" she cuts in tenderly. She wasn't surprised she was treated badly by his mother and sisters, they must be pained from what Steph did to their brother, they are only looking out for their brother again.

"You have a nice family" Bethel added and left with Angel.

•••••••••••••••

Angel stepped out after getting dressed in the purple gown Bethel gifted her. It fitted her so perfectly.

She had asked if Bethel took her measurements while she was asleep and Bethel said she had used one of her dress for measurement.

Everyone admired the dress on Angel and they all commented.

On her neatly packed hair was the tiara Slyvia had gifted her, she wore pretty white shoes and tiny silver earrings with the necklace Harry had given her.

She looked so beautiful like a real princess.

Harry was also dressed up nicely.

They both said goodbye to everyone.

Harry had said they'll be going to Paris first and Angel was so excited.

They left and the whole house was thrown into full celebration mood.

Everyone was partying except Bethel who slowly walked back to her room after bidding Harry and Angel goodbye.
