Chapter 9 - Fernando's Wrath

"Darling, don't bother Vio."

"Viona looks so pretty when she sleeps, don't you think, Daddy?"Zefanya whispered to her father. "Daddy, can Viona be my mommy?"​​

"Later, when Vio is awake, we will ask her."

"Nice!!"

Subconsciously Viona heard the sound of the conversation between Zeze and Fernand. She slowly opened her eyes and sure enough that the first sight she saw was the handsome face of Fernando who was joking with Zeze, his only daughter.

"Are you awake?" Zeze asked cheerfully.

"Yes, Beautiful," Viona replied softly. She tried to hold back her nausea that came back.

"You better rest, your face looks very pale," said Fernando.

Viona tried to ignore Fernando's words. She got up from her sleep then tried to sit up. When she stepped her foot down and tried to walk, she fell.

"Aaww," Viona shouted spontaneously when she felt a pain in her leg from being scratched by the floor.

"Can you just obey me once," Fernando scolded irritably.

PUKE

Viona threw up on Fernando's shirt as the man was standing in front of her as he tried to help her up.

Fernando was silent when Viona vomited. He ordered Viona to let out all her stomach content from, little Zeze just sat in silence on the bed watching her nanny being massaged by her nape by her father.

"I haven't touched you at all Vio, how can you throw up like this?" Fernando asked jokingly, to tease Viona.

"Sorry Sir, I dirty your clothes," Viona replied, trying to change the subject.

Fernando smiled slightly at Viona's words. He quickly helped Viona go to the bathroom to clean herself.

"If you are still feeling dizzy, it's better if you rest, Miss. Don't do too much activity," said the doctor to Viona.

"Thank you, Doc," Viona replied. She took the medicine given by the doctor.

The man then said goodbye and on his way to the front door, Fernando asked him to talk about Viona's health. Fernando looked serious, listening to what the doctor said.

It was possible that Viona would have to rest for the next three days because her health was still poor due to the incident in the Ferris wheel. People with acrophobia sometimes imagined bad things when they were having a lot on their mind. So, she still had to get bed rest.

Fernando ordered his maids to look after Viona while he went to work. The man also had to take Zeze to school.

Back in the mansion, there was a riot when rumors spread that Viona was pregnant with Fernando's child. The news was spread among the servants who were jealous of the girl.

"What a clever little girl."

"I thought Viona is innocent. Apparently, she is just a wicked vixen."

"Don't you know? Every night she sleeps in the master's room."

The maids who were around her age were all talking about Viona' behind her back. When they saw Viona vomiting before Fernando, some of the maids assumed that she was pregnant and that was why the doctor came to check on her.

Viona who didn't know anything, was confused when she met her peers at the house. They all threw her a hostile gaze. Some people even nudged Viona so violently that she almost fell.

Because she was hungry, Viona had to make her own food because no one left any food for her. Enduring her dizziness, Viona finally only ate plain bread and a glass of tomato juice to fill her growling stomach.

Viona limped along while holding her stomach. It hurt so much because she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. The other maids just smiled sarcastically when they saw Viona was in pain.

Viona leaned slowly against the wall. She did not pay attention to where she was going until finally she got lost in a room she had never seen before. Apparently, Viona walked without looking at the way. She ended up in a room at the end of the hall. It was an empty room.

Due to Viona's great curiosity, she ventured into the unlocked room. Her eyes widened suddenly when she saw all of her personal belongings were piled there. Viona quickly looked for her personal files and savings book. After searching for a long time, she finally found the two items by accident.

"Great. With this, I can get out of this house," Viona muttered to herself.

Because it was almost dark, Viona quickly tidied up the items in the warehouse as before to not make Fernando suspicious. She now knew where Fernando kept her stuff. Viona hid her file under her clothes then she quickly left the warehouse when no one saw her.

Viona entered her room, which was on the second floor. The location of her room was indeed separated from the other maids. It was another reason why the other maids were so jealous of her.

"Mother, please protect me. I have to leave the house," Viona muttered when she made it to her room.

She then kept the file under an opening on the floor, which she accidentally found while cleaning her room. Viona was worried if she kept the file in the cupboard, it would be discovered by Fernando or other maids. Because it was late afternoon, Viona decided to wash up in the bathroom in her room.

"Viona! Vionaaa!" Little Zevanya's voice was heard throughout the house calling Viona.

Fernando, who was walking behind her, just smiled when he saw his daughter running while calling Viona.

"Daddy, where is Viona? Why doesn't she come when I call her?" Zevanya whined in panic.

"Maids, find Viona," shouted Fernando. He was also annoyed that he couldn't see Viona immediately.

Zevanya cried in Fernando's arms. She complained, asking to meet Viona. Fernando patiently calmed his daughter. Because for almost ten minutes none of his maids managed to find Viona, finally Fernando joined in looking for the girl.

"You can't escape, my white rabbit," Fernando hissed irritated. He ran towards the warehouse and was shocked when he opened the door, which was apparently unlocked. Fernando scolded his careless maids for not locking the warehouse door. The maid was so scared to see Fernando angry.

"Looks like she doesn't know this storage yet. She should still be in this house," Fernando muttered irritably, realizing that the house was too big, so finding one person was too difficult for him.

Fernando ran to Viona's room, which was located next to his daughter's room. In that room, he couldn't see the signs of the girl's presence.

Fernando entered the bathroom. He also did not find the figure he was looking for. When he was about to step out, his eyes saw something strange with Viona's closet. When he opened the wardrobe door, he was so shocked to see Viona who was lying there among her clothes. Fernando immediately lifted Viona in his arms.

"Call the doctor," shouted Fernando from his room. He tried to put Viona's body lightly on his bed.

Zeze and the maids immediately ran towards Fernando's room. They were shocked when they saw Viona was unconscious. Fernando seemed to be trying to provide first aid by giving essential oil to make Viona wake up.

Zeze looked sad when she saw Viona was unconscious. A few moments later the doctor came and immediately treated Viona. He immediately gave Viona an IV drip and oxygen.

"I already told you this morning, this girl has to rest in bed for three days. The effects of her trauma have not disappeared. It is possible that when she walks, she will be traumatized, thinking she is still in a high place," said the doctors seriously.

"I've asked her to rest," Fernando replied defensively.

"She's not resting, look at this," said the doctor again, pointing out Viona's finger, which was injured due to a hot oven.

Fernando's eyes suddenly widened when he saw Viona's wound. He remembered, this morning the girl was fine and had no injuries. The man was instantly furious. Fernando asked the butler to open the CCTV footage at the house and check what happened. His vitriol went through the roof when he saw Viona being bullied by other maids.

After the doctor came home, Fernando asked his butler to gather all his maids in his private room. The man immediately fired the fifteen maids working at his house because they were deemed inappropriate to work with him.

"I ask you to look after her, not let her make her own food. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

"Justin, find other maids to work here tomorrow morning," said Fernando to his personal assistant.

"Yes, Sir." Justin answered Fernando's order quickly.
