The moment I stepped into the room, I was caught off guard by a hug.
A small pair of arms wrapped around me tightly. “You must be the new nanny! Want to see my room? It’s super clean and really well arranged,” she said without breathing, pulling back with a bright smile. Wait... this was the monster? The child who’d allegedly gotten twenty nannies fired in one week? All I could think was: either this kid was an angel in disguise or she was luring me into a trap. So I immediately tried acting shrewd with her and said what do you think you're doing, you think you can lure me into your trap,guess what I'm here to stay! She just laughed and said “I like you, you are really funny!”. I couldn't get the truth about it.So i just played along and forced out a giggle. What your name she asked,My name is Rennie, you can call me “Renzy for short”. Immediately she became serious, saying aren't you going to make me call you"Mom” or “aunt" like the rest. At that point I understood why nannies couldn't stay longer because they either wanted to be the wife of the dreamy Mr Shawn. Or force their way into the family through his daughter. Which was pretty much messed up, grown women forcing themselves on a man who wouldn't even think about them even if his daughter chose them. Immediately I rebuked that thought, no I'm not interested in becoming your mom and auntie just call me “Renzy”.Mom and aunt are for “old woman”. She caught me off guard again and hugged me even tighter. So I thought of an idea, that was asking her a few questions about herself. So what is your full name, she replied saying “Diane Wolfe” princess to the king “Mr daddy” Shawn Wolfe. I nearly burst out laughing. This little girl was a whole character. And I knew she was going to be a handful.Okay princess what grade are you, I am currently in grade 3, she said.I wanted to tease her by saying you are so slow, you're still in grade 3,she laughed, I'm not slow you're fast, I'm just eight years old. All of a sudden she said she was hungry, So it was literally part of my job to feed her, not as the chef but as a caretaker.So we went to the kitchen downstairs, I couldn't see Mr Shawn anymore,so I assumed he must be at work. I asked the chef if he could prepare a meal so he immediately said yes and in less than five minute, I saw Grilled steaks, stir-fried vegetables, French soufflé, chicken broth with about five kinds of protein,it was the kind of meal you’d expect at a five-star restaurant, not for a third grader. Immediately she saw the food and she said "I don't like this food,why does the chef make boring food?" This made me happy but I realized that it was my job to make sure she feeds,so no feeding, no salary. I begged her one more time she still didn't agree to eat it so I asked what she wanted to eat, all of a sudden she went upstairs to my room and got the takeout I was planning to eat when I got the job she said it smells nice I was planning to give her but I remembered what if she had dietary restrictions because most billionaires children always have those, it's either they were lactose intolerant, grease intolerant or one thing or the other. I tried to reason with her saying she couldn't eat that because it was too greasy. It was a hamburger with double ham and extra oily fries. She's still insisted so I knew what I was getting into and I didn't want her to start whining so I gave her a bite immediately she became obsessed with it. She unexpectedly shouted BEST !FOOD !EVER !. Diane started running all around the sitting room with a half- eating burger. I was trying to calm her down before anyone knew I gave her something which was contraband in their home.Before I could reach out to grab her Mr Shawn came in through the door looking at the both of us.I accompanied Aria to her current hostel so she could change her outfit before we went house shopping. The building was welcoming from the outside, but the moment we stepped in, the vibe changed.All I perceived were sharp eyes, muttered comments, unwashed cooking utensils, and the kind of stares that made you feel like you’d walked into the wrong room. Her roommates were lying on the bed, scrolling through their phones, barely glancing up at our arrival. After she dropped off her books and changed into a casual dress, we left the room. “Sorry I couldn’t get you water,” Aria muttered, already heading to the shop outside the hostel. “All my bottled water got drunk by my roommates, who aren’t ready to take the blame.” “No worries. I already bought water.” I held out a chilled bottle. “Take this, I got two.” I replied handing out the water. Her expression softened. “Thanks. You just saved my throat. Now—” she pulled open her bag and searched through fliers, “—let’s go find my plac
“You look... very...very happy. Back to your usual life — living off billionaires, huh?” Darlington retorted, his eyes narrowing. “Is that a MacBook Air Supreme? That’s worth—five hundred grand? As a nanny, you’d have to work, a decade—oh sorry, five years—to afford it. But lucky you... all it took was sleeping with Shawn Wolfe. L.A.’s richest.” Shawn chuckled low, shaking his head. “Darlington, Darlington… you really don’t change, do you? That bitter, belittled mindset of yours will keep scamming you — the same way Revsy did. But you know what I love?” He smirked. “Even you admitted it. L.A.’s richest. Not my words — Forbes and Glob L.A. wrote it first.” He took a slow step forward, his voice dropping. “See, I’m the kind of man who’d buy your sister that iPhone 16 she’s been out there whoring for — and still wouldn’t expect a damn thing in return.” Then he looked Darlington dead in the eye. “And just to clarify? My wife isn’t a nanny. She's a mother — who loves her child. You real
“Even I doubt myself sometimes,” I admitted, turning my chair towards him. “I don’t know if I can handle both school and business. And...and I don’t want to fail while trying to juggle everything.” “You’re not going to fail,” he replied, setting his glass down. “All I’m saying is—I don’t want you stressed. Because take it from someone who built a business empire and was a student at Chicago west college, I can confidently tell you both can be brutal and freaking stressful. And you're studying medicine which would come with bulky reading, annoying professors, endless exams... and don’t get me started on the group assignments,” he continued, stroking my fingers. "I guess my dream will remain a dream,I already had scenarios stuck in my head of me delivering orders and making complimentary cards" “Wait a second I still believe you can do it. I started Wolfe Empire while I was in college, and if I could do that with zero emotional support and without a dream,I don’t see why you can
In a few minutes, we got to the penthouse, and Diane’s mood had brightened. It didn’t just happen suddenly—it started when Shawn whispered something into her ear in the car. But when I asked her, she only said, “Nothing, just my mood.” “Shawn, what would you like to eat?” I asked, watching him settle on the sofa. “We can’t eat anything,” he replied, glancing at his watch. “We’ll be going home today.” “What’s happening?” I asked, sitting beside him. “Why are we going home? And is it safe?” “Yes it's safe,the house is now properly secured,” he said, his tone calm and reassuring. “Top-tier security guards around the house and twenty-four-hour surveillance cameras, I did it because we can't remain here and keep living in fear.” “You’re right,” I nodded. “Even Diane has started missing her old house.” “So, do you approve we move?” he asked, reaching for my hand. “Yes, I do,” I replied, smiling as his fingers gently clutched mine. “Yay! We’re moving back!” Diane squealed, twirling
"Finish your breakfast, don't leave it halfway," I said while gently feeding Diane another spoonful of oats. "Why do you always force me to have my breakfast? Is it really that necessary?" she grumbled, swallowing the last spoonful. "Don’t you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and could lead to Peptic Ulcer?" "Why are you so smart? You told me you never got to go school?" "Well, I didn't get to go to school but I got to self-learn, so that's why. Now finish your breakfast." "Okie dokie." Just then, my phone buzzed. Shawn: “I’m downstairs, signing Diane’s discharge papers.” I was already at the doctor’s office, collecting her prescriptions. The nurse handed me Diane’s health report with a wide smile. I nodded, thanked her, packed up Diane’s backpack, and started walking down the hallway. As I reached the corner near the elevators, I caught sight of Shawn—perfectly poised in that sharp navy coat, stepping out of the elevator, phone pressed to his ear, voic
"Darlington, I’ll take whatever punishment you throw at me — but don’t you dare call me a whore. Do you think I enjoy being passed between men? Like I asked for this?” I choked out, voice cracking. But he cut me off before I could finish. “Oh, please — save the act. Was it Diane, your illegitimate daughter, who forced you to kiss him in the car? On your way to Aerial Pacific?” “It happened in a rush! I didn’t plan it — it just… happened. I was confused. He… he just—” "That’s enough. Keep your explanation for your lover. I don’t want any of it. But since you satisfied me during our time together, I’ll help you a little — since you don’t have any source of income, why don’t I give you the contact details of some of the youngest, richest billionaires in the country? I’m sure you’d fit right in, and some are willing to pay double.” My body went still. My heart thundered. But my voice didn’t waver. "That’s enough! You called me a whore — and I remained silent. But not anymore.
