Getting A Mom: Baby Sitting His Daughter Chapter 45
Chapter 45(shattered Hope Of Feelings)The coastal safe house was a masterpiece of glass and light, but at three in the morning, it felt like an island drifting alone in the dark. The moon had vanished behind a thick blanket of Atlantic mist, leaving the wide glass walls washed in a quiet charcoal grey.Pearl woke to the sound of movement beside her. It took her only a second to realise it was Mia.The little girl wasn’t crying loudly, but her breathing was uneven and restless as she shifted against the sheets, small, frightened sounds escaping her lips as though she were still trapped somewhere in a bad memory. Pearl sat up immediately and moved closer, resting her hand gently on Mia’s back so she could feel the trembling running through her.Every few minutes Mia murmured something under her breath. Once Pearl clearly heard her whisper about the gate. Another time she spoke about the lady with the cold eyes. Pearl understood at once who she meant.She stayed beside her, speaking so

Chapter 44(Home in the Shadows) The next few days at the safe house were a strange, beautiful blur of domesticity that Pearl never thought she would experience with a man like Ace Warren.Without the staff, the roles shifted. Ace, a man who probably hadn’t made a sandwich since college, found himself standing in the kitchen with Mia, attempting to flip pancakes while Pearl navigated the laundry room.“Dad! You’re burning it!” Mia giggled, pointing at a puff of smoke rising from the griddle.“I am not burning it, Mia. I am… caramelising the edges,” Ace defended himself, though he looked at Pearl with a silent plea for help.Pearl laughed, stepping in to take the spatula. “Go sit down, Mr CEO. Stick to hostile takeovers. I’ll handle the breakfast.”Ace sat at the breakfast bar next to Mia, watching Pearl move through the kitchen. He looked relaxed in a way that felt unfamiliar. The sharp, guarded edge he always carried at the mansion had softened in the quiet privacy of the safe house

Chapter 43(The House Without Walls)The transition from the chaos of the mansion to the silence of the safe house was swift, clinical, and jarring. Within two hours of Martha’s arrest, Ace had given the order. He didn’t just want the locks changed; he wanted everything in the building to change. He wanted a space where the walls didn’t echo with the woman who had tried to dismantle his life from the inside.The “safe house” was a misnomer. Was a sprawling, glass-and-cedar architectural marvel nestled into a private coastal cliff, three hours away from the city.“We’re staying here,” Ace had said, his voice leaving no room for argument as he ushered Pearl and a sleepy, confused Mia into the back of a different, unmarked SUV. “Until the mansion is secured and cleared. Until every staff member’s background is re-verified by a third-party firm. We’ll be staying here until further notice,” he said, his tone final.Pearl sat in the backseat, h

Chapter 42(In the Circle of His Arms)“Doesn’t mean you’ll leave this building alive,” Martha said.Dead?Pearl’s heartbeat jarringly hammered against her ribs.“What do you mean?” Pearl asked, taking hesitant steps back...“Well, let’s find out.”“Talking of the police.” A harsh, jagged laugh tore through the corridor, followed by the sound of something heavy—a brass bust from the lobby—being dragged across the floor.“The police? Miller? They’re playing catch-up, Pearl. They’re halfway to the school, chasing a car I ditched three blocks away. I knew this house before you were even a thought in Ace Warren’s mind.”Pearl reached the heavy oak door of Ace’s study. Her fingers fumbled with the handle, her breath hitching as it turned. She slipped inside, but the scent of Ace’s cologne hit her so hard she wished he was there.She moved behind the sizeable desk, her hands sweeping under the lip of the wood until her fingers brushed the cold, recessed button. She pressed it firmly, holdin

Chapter 41(Shadows In The Mansion)The Wednesday morning sun was far less kind than it had been the day before. It didn’t dance across the marble; it glared, sharp and intrusive, reflecting off the polished surfaces of the Warren mansion like a searchlight. Pearl hadn’t slept. Every time she closed her eyes, the glow of her phone screen burned against her eyelids, the jagged letters of the text message replaying in her mind.The higher you climb, the harder the fall.She knew that tone. It wasn’t the polished, cold arrogance of a corporate rival. It was the raw, jagged bitterness of someone who had been discarded after years of service. It was Martha— the only name that won’t stop ringing in her ears all night.The house felt different now. The silence wasn’t peaceful, it was heavy, filled with the ghosts of a woman who had known every corner, every secret, and every security code of this estate for ten years.Pearl walked down the grand staircase, her hand trembling slightly on the

Chapter 40 (A Fall and Threat) The aftermath of the apology left a lingering quiet in the mansion that felt unlike the usual cold silence of Warren Mansion. Mia had spent the rest of the morning unusually composed, her typical spark replaced by a contemplative, almost hesitant manner. Pearl kept her word—the tablet was gone, and the afternoon was dedicated to extra reading. But as the clock struck noon, the front doors of the mansion swung open, and Pearl’s new plan arrived: Ella. Ella looked like a fish out of water. She clutched her small handbag as if it were a lifesaver, her eyes flickering between the towering vaulted ceilings and the priceless artwork adorning the walls. Pearl greeted her at the entrance with a small, encouraging smile. “You made it,” Pearl whispered, giving her friend a quick squeeze. “Pearl, this place is bigger than my entire neighbourhood,” Ella hissed back, her eyes wide. “Are you sure about this? If I break a vase here, I’ll be in debt until the year
