Ace lunged for my arm, his movements swift, but I was quicker. I twisted out of his grasp and darted toward the playroom, my sanctuary.

He wouldn’t dare cause a scene there—not in front of the kids.

“Aria, stop!” His voice carried an edge of irritation as he pursued me.

I glanced over my shoulder, smirking, and sidestepped another attempt of his to grab me.

“Give me the keys, Aria!” he bellowed, frustration crackling in his tone.

Instead of answering, I stuck out my tongue, a childish act, bu

    I dropped the lunch off at their school, tucked inside a pink takeout bag along with three juice boxes. Then I made my way back to the car, barely catching my breath as I checked the time."Shit," I muttered.I was already late for my meeting. I yanked my phone from the passenger seat and dialed my assistant.I need to reschedule the meeting. Megan was home, sick, and I needed to check on her before running back to work."Good morning, Mr. Alessandro," she said, bright as always."I need you to reschedule all my morning meetings to this afternoon. Everything, clear it out. Push the board briefing to three and have legal ready at four-thirty."There was a pause. "Sir... you had an 8:45 strategy review and the VP is already-""Move it, Celine," I said firmly. "Personal emergency.""...Understood. I'll handle it."I ended the call and drove back to the house. I didn't even make it to the bedroom before the doctor met me in the hallway, zipping up his medical bag."She's resting now," he

    I've faced million-dollar mergers, hostile boardrooms, and full-blown scandals. But none of that prepared me for the battlefield that is trying to get three four-year-olds dressed and out the door by 7:30 a.m.The moment the doctor walked into the room to check on Megan, I turned into the backup parent. How hard could it be, right? Wrong. So very, very wrong.First, I entered their room like I was walking into enemy territory. Lily was standing on her bed singing some song about jellyfish, Layla was in the closet talking to herself-and possibly a ghost-and Lacey had somehow managed to get toothpaste in her hair without even brushing her teeth yet."Alright," I clapped, trying to sound like I had authority. "Let's go, little humans. Time to get dressed."They looked at me like I just told them Santa wasn't real."I wanna wear my princess dress!" Layla said, pulling out a glittery blue monstrosity."You're going to school, not a royal ball.""I am a princess," she pouted and I rolled m

    Later, I stepped into the bedroom. She was already in bed, her back turned, lying on her side. From the way her breathing slowed, I couldn’t tell if she was asleep or pretending to be.I changed, brushed, and slid in beside her. The bed dipped under my weight. She didn’t move. Didn’t say anything.And then I made the mistake of looking at her—really looking. Her bare legs curled under the sheets, her curves outlined under the soft fabric… and her ass right there in front of me.It had been weeks. Maybe even months. I couldn’t remember the last time we touched each other—really touched. The last time she moaned my name. The last time we felt like husband and wife instead of exhausted strangers co-parenting chaos.I moved closer, my body drawn to hers like a damn magnet. My hand found her waist and slid around it, just resting there. Still, she didn’t move.I leaned in, pressing a kiss to the back of her neck.She stiffened.But she didn’t push me away.It felt like I was holding a l

    I sat at the head of the long, polished table in the conference room, the projector humming softly in the background as charts and figures danced across the screen. Someone was giving a very enthusiastic presentation about quarterly projections, marketing strategy—hell, I don’t even know. My mind was somewhere else entirely.Nannies in and out like a revolving door. Megan worn thin, the girls unhinged. Every solution I thought of led back to Aria. And that… wasn’t an option. I couldn’t bring her back. I wouldn’t.There had to be another way. Another professional. A strict, no-nonsense nanny who didn’t have an ass that could star in its own movie. Someone who didn’t bat her lashes and moan my name while touching herself.“Sir?”A hand tapped my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts. I blinked and looked up to see Gerald, our marketing director, standing awkwardly beside me with a clicker in hand.“Sorry, sir. We just finished reviewing the new ad campaign direction,” he said, tryi

    Megan shook her head, visibly shaking now with rage. “There are other ways to punish a child than grabbing her like that. You could’ve told me. Hell, you could’ve just breathed for a second. But instead, you lost control. And for the record? I can have you arrested for putting your hand on her.”The nanny stared at her for a moment—then burst out laughing. “Oh, listen to yourself,” she said mockingly. “You’re going to send me to jail? For trying to do your job?”The woman’s eyes narrowed, and then she tilted her head with a sneer. “You said these kids were your sister’s, right? Figures. You’re not a mother. That’s the problem.”My jaw tensed.“Tell me,” she continued, cruel and casual, “how would you know how to raise a child when you can’t even bring one into the world? You parade around acting like you’ve got it figured out, but you know nothing about motherhood. These kids? They’re heading straight for juvie—and you’re the fast lane.”I saw Megan freeze. Her lips parted slightly li

    I still wonder how Aria managed to handle those hell-raising triplets. I expected her to storm out on the first day—hell, the first hour. But no. The girl somehow lasted over a month, which, in this household, is practically nanny sainthood. Megan used to sing her praises like she was Mary Poppins reborn, always going on about how “Aria just gets them,” how “she’s got that special touch.”Sure, she got them—got into their hearts, their routines, their trust. Then decided getting into their uncle’s bed was next on her little bucket list.I swear that woman made folding kids laundry look X-rated.I took a sip of my coffee, needing the bitter bite of it to jolt me back to sanity.It was barely 7:30 a.m., and already the house felt like a war zone.The new nanny—Martha? Margaret? Something matronly—was hunched over, trying to help Lacey put on her shoes, but Lacey is not letting her.She is a little chubby, probably in her late forties, and with bags under her eyes that screamed I regr
