Maya's Pov

I stood outside Luca’s office door longer than I meant to.

My fingers hovered in the air, curled slightly. The hallway was quiet, the kind of quiet that made every breath feel too loud. My heart was pounding so hard I was certain he could hear it from inside, maybe he could sense my presence before I even knocked.

“Maya, it's now or never” I sucked in a breath, held it for a second longer than necessary, then knocked.

The sound echoed, soft but final, like a decision I couldn’t take back.

“Come in,” Luca’s voice came through the door.

My hand tightened around the door handle, and I pushed it open.

I took one step inside and stopped.

The room was dim, the overhead lights were off, only a single lamp casting a muted glow across the space. Shadows clung to the corners, stretching long and dark across the walls. The air smelled faintly of whiskey and something sharper, something I would always recognise, Luca’s perfume.

He was standing near his desk, with a glass in his hand.

  • I Hired My Favorite Stripper to Be My Nanny   Chapter 43

    Maya's povI was still standing there, blinking at Gabriella, because my brain needed extra time to process her existence. How is this the first time I am getting to know he has a girlfriend?The night air felt suddenly too cold and my fingers turned numb around the strap of my bag, my thoughts lagged behind reality. She looked exactly like someone who belonged in this world, polished and expensive. The kind of woman who didn’t doubt where she stood. The kind of woman befitting Mr Luca.She tilted her head, with her eyes narrowing to have a proper look at me, her lips curled in irritation. “What? Are you mute?” she snapped angrily. The sharpness of her voice sliced through my gaze, causing me to flinch, I snapped out of it at once. Heat rushed to my face and I straightened immediately, my face flushed with embarrassment.“I ….. I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “I didn’t mean to stare so—-”My words tangled over themselves as I hastily introduced myself. “I’m Maya. I work here.”Oh great,

  • I Hired My Favorite Stripper to Be My Nanny   Chapter 42

    Maya's Pov I stumbled out of the room like I was running away from a fire.I shut the door behind me with a soft click, pressing my hand against my chest, and forced air into my lungs.Breathe, Maya. Just breathe.I didn’t let myself look back at the door. If I did, I would have gone back in. I would stare at that portrait again and I would break down right there, on the cold floor.So I pushed the feeling away. I shoved it down hard, like I’ve learned to do over the years, and focused on the one thing I can control right now, which is moving forward. One step at a time. I got to the kitchen and the kitchen lights were too bright. I blinked a few times, grounding myself in the familiar smells of food and warmth before proceeding The pot of mac and cheese was already prepared, steam curled lazily from the surface. I stared at it for a moment longer than necessary, and my mind went blank, before I grabbed a bowl and spoon.My hands didn’t shake and that surprised me. I scooped the fo

    Maya's Pov And before I could stop myself, my feet moved on their own, I stepped into the room fully and the door clicked softly behind me.The room is quiet and smelled faintly of old paper and something metallic, like memories left untouched for too long. The lights were off so I placed my hand on the wall searching for the switch and finally turned it on. My gaze went back to what had drawn my attention in the first place and then I saw it.The portrait.It was too large to miss. Framed in dark wood, and mounted carefully at eye level like it’s meant to be the first thing anyone sees after stepping in. I held my breath as I took a step closer, my heart began to pound so hard I swear I could hear it echoing in my ears.It was Luca on the portrait There was no mistaking him. He looked younger and softer somehow, but it’s unmistakably his broad shoulders, sharp jaw, those same beautiful teeth, that seemed to give the perfect smile. His arm was wrapped protectively around a woman sta

    Maya's Pov I still don’t understand why he’s doing this.That thought circled my mind as Luca walked ahead of me down the hallway, his presence filled the space even though he hadn’t said a word since pulling me away from the kitchen. His hand isn’t on me anymore, but I can still feel the stretch of his grip on my arm.He pushed open the door to his study and gestured for me to enter.The room smelled faintly of leather and wood polish, the lights were dimmer than the rest of the house, casting long shadows across the shelves lined with books and files. I step in slowly, with my heart thudding louder with every second.He closed the door behind us and walked past me.“Sit,” he said, nodding toward the chair near his desk.I hesitated only for a moment before obeying and lowering myself onto the edge of the chair like I may be asked to stand again at any second. My injured arm rests awkwardly in my lap, the burn still stinging, though the pain had dulled into something manageable.Luc

    Luca’s PovThe bathroom still smelled faintly of steam and soap when I stepped out, my towel hung over my shoulder, my shirt was already buttoned halfway. The mirror caught my reflection as I passed, but I didn't stop to look. There was just one person I needed to check up on.Nico.I had intended to check on him first. Make sure he’s eaten, settled, and distracted enough not to spiral into one of his moods. The house has a way of magnifying silence at night, and Nico doesn’t do well with too much of it. Neither do I, if I’m being honest, but I’ve learned to live with it.I was heading down the hallway when I heard something clattering. It was the clattering of metal against the marble floor. I stopped mid way.The staff know better than to make that kind of noise at this hour. My jaw tightened instinctively and I turned around in the direction of the kitchen, already forming the words I planned to use. Whoever it is should know that I don’t tolerate carelessness, not in my house.I g

  • I Hired My Favorite Stripper to Be My Nanny   Chapter 38

    Maya's Pov By the time we arrived back home, the house felt a little different from how I remembered it.The car doors opened, luggage were being unloaded, and footsteps echoed across the beautiful shiny floors. It felt like stepping into motion after being still for too long.James was already there, standing tall and composed as always, with his hands clasped neatly behind his back. A lady hurried forward too, with a bright smile on her face. My brows furrowed together slightly and my eyes flicker to Luca for just a second before I look away again. I didn’t need any further introduction, from her outfit, I was sure she was the maid.“Welcome home, sir,” James says, bowing slightly to Luca.“Welome back sir” the lady greeted with a bowl too.He acknowledges them with a nod, already slipping back into the version of himself that belongs to this house controlled, distant, and definitely authoritative.I linger a little behind them, clutching my bag, suddenly unsure of where to stand
