Thank you for reading this one all the way to the end. I know your time matters, and I do not take it lightly that you gave it to Nancy and Alexei. If they stayed with you after the last page, even a little, that means more to me than I can say here.I am Nancy Grey. If you liked this book, I hope you will look at the others. Different people, different trouble, the same kind of love I cannot seem to stop writing. I would love to meet you there.💘🫶❤️❤️
BEAUTY AND THE BODYGUARD: DANGEROUS DESIRE BOOK 2 Chapter 180
Nancy’s POVTen years later, The lake was the first thing I saw every morning.Our house sat above it on a small rise, white stone walls and wide windows that let the light come in from every direction. There was a path down to a dock that Alexei had built himself the second summer we lived there. He had taken his time with it, measuring twice, getting the boards level, spending a whole Saturday on his knees in the sun while Anya handed him screws and told him everything she had learned about docks from a library book.Anya's shoes were always by the front door.Two pairs, usually. The ones she wore to school, practical and already starting to fall apart from running everywhere in them. And one pair she refused to throw away even though the soles were going thin because they still had sand in them from Greece. We had taken her to the island in the spring. The villa. The beach. The olive trees that went silver in the afternoon light.She had run ahead of us on the path through the tre

Nancy’s POVNeither of them pulled away quickly.My father sat in the chair by the bed because his legs were clearly not going to hold him much longer. He looked down at her face. She opened her eyes at that exact moment—dark and clear and somehow too knowing for someone who had been in the world for less than two hours.He went completely still.I watched it happen to him.The anger didn't leave all at once. It just had nowhere to go anymore. He looked into her eyes and his mouth started to shake and a tear fell onto the blanket. He didn't try to wipe it away."Hello, little one," he said. His voice was so broken it barely made it out. "I'm your grandfather. You are the best thing that has happened in this family in a very long time."Anya blinked at him.He laughed. Wet and wrecked and completely real. He kissed the air just above her head because he was still too nervous to actually touch her face.Then he looked up.Not at me.At Zade.The room went so quiet I could hear my own he

Nancy’s POVMy father hadn't moved from the foot of the bed.He was looking at the baby. At her small face. At the dark hair. At her hand where it curled against the blanket.The anger he had carried for months couldn't survive it.His eyes filled. He wiped them once with the back of his hand, hard, and his hand came away wet anyway. A sound left him that was rough and happy and completely wrecked."She's perfect," he said. His voice cracked down the middle. "Nancy. She is absolutely perfect."He came closer. Zade shifted just enough to make room without being asked. My father touched the edge of the blanket with two fingers, very carefully, like she might shatter."Hello, little one," he said. "I'm your grandfather. You are so loved. You are so safe."Anya made a small sound and settled closer against me.The monitor kept its steady beat.Zade kissed my temple, still crying.My father stood at the foot of the bed and cried quietly with one hand on the rail to keep himself steady.Out

Nancy’s POV"I hear you, Dad." The next contraction took the rest of my words. I bent forward as far as the seatbelt allowed and squeezed Zade's hand so hard my knuckles hurt."Drive safe," my father told Zade. "Don't let her walk in alone.""I won't," Zade said.He hung up. Zade's jaw was tight. His hand didn't move from mine. He drove like he had somewhere important to be, which he did.I watched the city lights slide across the windshield and tried to remember how to breathe.The hospital was bright and too cold and smelled like clean things and antiseptic. Lights hummed overhead. Someone put a bracelet around my wrist and asked my name twice. They put me in a room with a window and a monitor and when the monitor started picking up the heartbeat and sending it out as a steady beeping sound, something in me that had been clenched up came loose.That sound. Small and fast and alive.Zade stood at the side of the bed and didn't sit until a nurse told him he could. Even then he only sa

Nancy’s POVZade didn't talk over me. He didn't try to perform being good. He just answered when he was spoken to and kept my glass filled and didn't reach for my hand until I found his under the table first.My father saw it. His jaw tightened. He didn't say anything unkind. He cut his chicken. He drank his water. He looked out the window at the city for a moment like he was asking it for patience.Then he looked at his plate."This is good," he said. He was saying it about the food. But it landed on Zade anyway, and I think we all knew it. "She needs meals like this.""She'll have them," Zade said simply.My father held his eyes for a moment. Then he looked at me, and some of the tension in his face went softer."Eat," he said. "Both of you. I didn't come all the way here to watch food go cold."I smiled. A real small smile.Zade's thumb moved once against my palm under the table.We ate. We talked about the doctor's next appointment, about the crib my father wanted to have delivere
