Bryan's POV
Jason's cries perch my ears as soon as I come out of the bathroom to dress up for work. I shake my head. He must have woken up to discover that his mother is gone.I am thinking he is going to cry for a few minutes and stop or probably go back to sleep but I am wrong. He is still crying till I finish dressing and I take my briefcase out to go out to work. Surprisingly, I am not angry, even though I did not expect this. I feel his mother's presence will ease it all but it is now obvious that they are inseparable. Celine is the only person Jason trusts. She is the only person he shares a bond with and that bond can not be broken by anyone, including me.I shake my head and walk out of my bedroom, take the staircase downstairs to his room. I had gone through all the applicant's details yesterday and I saw their pictures too. I am not satisfied with any of them.The only person with the experience I am looking for is the lady that haBryan's POVDelicious sweet sensation spread through me with a wide grin on my face. I can't believe my plan worked so easily and I now have Celine at my mercy. I can't wait to see how crunched up her face would be when I start my revenge on her. She deserves it. And I won't hesitate to punish her.I didn't want to have anything to do with her ever again but Jason brought us back together. Instead of letting go and avoiding my presence, she keeps coming back with the claim of wanting her son.I am going to use this to my advantage and teach her a lesson she would never forget. I don't forgive people so easily, probably because of the way I was brought up. I have trust issues right from childhood but I trusted Celine.I guess this is why I am hurt. I am hurt because I chose to trust her of all people and she betrayed me, making me regret why I gave her my trust in the first place.She looked helpless when she came to me for help and I didn't know
Bryan's POVI hear a faint knock on the door, making me lift my head from the laptop and grant permission to the intruder.I have been working on my laptop for almost an hour, trying to meet up with a deadline. I intend to finish up before going home so I can prepare for tomorrow's business meeting with the businessman my father sent to me.Fixing my gaze back on the laptop, I continue with my review, scrolling the mouse to minimize as the person enters. I am thinking it is Stella. The voice that greets me makes me raise my head sharply and my gaze meets with Emily."Long time no see, Brandon", she flashes me a sexy smile, making me remember how she almost made me fall for that smile years ago. She is dressed in a straight black skirt and a long turtle neck white top. Her hair is packed in a big, high bun as usual and she looks elegant."How are you, Emily?" I ask her as she walks briskly towards the chair in front of me and sits in without waiting for permi
Celine's POV"I knew he was yours the moment I saw him", Camilla smile boyishly and snap her head back to look at Jason on his massive bed.I flash her a smile in return, resting my back on the sofa more comfortably. I had left Paxton's apartment after telling him my conclusion.Now that I think of it all, coming here is a great idea. I am a nanny, not Bryan's wife anymore and this will give me the chance to relate with other domestic staff. Besides, Camilla is here to keep me company and lift my bad mood whenever I am sad.The smile on Jason's face the moment I entered with my little bag was priceless. It is a smile I would love to see on his face forever.Paxton was still insisting that I stayed back and he followed me to my apartment, watched me pack, and even accompany me out. I was able to convince him that I would be fine. He hugged me."You shouldn't have left", Camilla begins and I sigh heavily."I had to. I was scared Bry
Bryan's POVThe car comes to a stop and the driver opens the door for me to come out. I step out, stifling a yawn in tiredness and frustration of a bad day.Eric is still not providing the real statement of account for me to know where the loss is coming from. I was tempted to call father and explain things to her before punishing Eric but I know father will take his side.Left to me, I wouldn't have employed him but my father was involved. I hate mixing business with pleasure. I hate having my extended family involved in what I do. I love being in control. Eric's father has his own company and I wonder why he is not working with his father instead.I have been trying so hard to control my anger. Eric deserves to be punished, I have a feeling he knows what he is doing.I grab my briefcase and walk to the door. I am pretty exhausted, all I want to do is to take a shower and go to bed. I will think of the best solution to this problem tomorro
Celine's POVIf I were to consider Bryan's harsh behavior towards me, I would never feel any sort of sympathy towards him. He makes me feel like trash.He makes me feel like I am not wanted and my presence is not needed. If I had the power to decline this offer of being our son's nanny, I would have declined the offer just to spite him but I have no choice. I am the one in dire need, not him.I cried so hard after Camilla told me everything about Bryan and his first love. I was trying to relate everything together, I was trying to justify all of his actions towards me and I was also trying to understand him and his silence.I never knew he had been through so much. I thought he was ruthless because he wanted to but tonight, I realize he is this way because of the ugly realities of life.I accepted his proposal to marry him, even when I knew he was into the Mafia but his first love didn't want to accept that part of him.What makes us differe
Paxton's POVUnlike the last time I was here to familiarize myself with the surroundings of Bryan's mansion, there are two hefty bodyguards right outside his gate, looking mean and ready to kill at the slightest provocation.I drive the way I came and pull over at a short distance. I examine the house from afar, glancing around and looking at the rooftop. This will be a great area for a sniper to kill Bryan.The only difficulty is that I don't know if he comes around there often. He is a workaholic and I doubt if he has leisure time.I look around once more, making sure my presence is not known to the guards at the gate before leaning back in the seat, taking off the seatbelt.This is looking more than I expected, I groan.Did he find out about my disguise? Why is the security suddenly rigid both within and out? The Bryan I have been studying for more than a year, even without knowing his physical appearance has been nonchalant about securit
Celine's POVI got prepared after Paxton left in happiness. For the first time in a week since Bryan burst into my home to take my son away, I feel genuine happiness again.I believe I have every cause to be happy. I have every cause to let go of the bad vibes and wallow myself in this new happiness since I have my son close by. I don't need to be sad anymore. Jason is doing fine and Paxton and I are still close friends.Even though Bryan is a pain in the ass, I will no longer get hurt by his insults and choice of harsh words he directs at me. I already understand what is happening to him and the reason for his actions so I don't need to be mad when he insults me.I prepared Jason's dinner on time and fed him around 7 pm. We played for a while before I sang him a lullaby to lure him to sleep. Within minutes, Jason slept off and I practically raced to the bathroom to take a shower, giggling like a teenager going on her first date.I finish taking
Celine's POVIt's almost half an hour since Paxton and I arrived here and I haven't stopped grinning from ear to ear since then.It feels so good to be out, having fun after so many years of dealing with my grandmother's illness, signing a contract marriage with my boss, running away from him so he wouldn't know I was pregnant, and taking care of my son alone.I feel young again. It's been so long since I felt this overwhelming feeling and a remembrance of my age. I am just 26 years old but with Jason, I feel like an old woman.Tonight, Paxton is making me feel different. He is making me feel like a sweet 16, making me put off every bad thoughts out of my head. I don't want anything to ruin this lovely night. I don't know when a day like this will happen again.We are sitting in front of the bar, laughing, drinking, and hitting each other playfully.I laugh heartily and gulp down the whole content of my alcoholic drink. Paxton is in front of
