Lawfully Wedded Nanny (BWWM) Chapter 191
Richard had known something was wrong before he even closed the laptop.The numbers on the screen still glowed—projections, approvals, signatures—but his attention had slipped hours ago. It wasn’t work fatigue. It was instinct. The kind sharpened by years of responsibility, of grief, of learning to read rooms and silences better than words.Monet hadn’t messaged him all afternoon. Not once.That alone meant nothing. She was on vacation. She was supposed to be wandering, buying linen dresses she didn’t need, tasting fruit that tasted brighter here than anywhere else in the world.And yet. He closed the laptop anyway.The girl’s name sat open in another tab.Elara M—No last name listed on the event roster. No corporate affiliation. No reason for her presence at a private reception other than association.Richard leaned back, jaw tight.He hadn’t meant to look her up. He'd waited to ask about her but figured it would raise too much dust. It had started innocently. Recognition pricking a

They chose a small café shaded by broad-leafed trees, the kind where time seemed to slow on purpose.Elara stirred her drink too much. Monet noticed because she was doing the same.For a while, they talked about nothing.The weather. How beautiful the island was. How easy it felt to forget the rest of the world here. Elara spoke about visiting relatives, about taking time off school before deciding what came next. Monet listened, nodding, smiling at the right places, careful not to give too much of herself away.Still, every word felt weighted.“You live far from here?” Monet asked eventually.Elara nodded. “Yes. Different continent entirely. I grew up moving around a lot.” She shrugged. “I don’t really belong to any one place.”The words struck too close.“I know that feeling,” Monet said softly before she could stop herself.Elara’s gaze sharpened, curious but gentle. “You do?”Monet hesitated. Careful, she warned herself. “In a way.”They fell quiet again.The sea murmured behind t

Seychelles should have been easy to love. The sea was impossibly blue, the kind that didn’t look real even when you stood at its edge. The air smelled of salt and flowers and warm stone. Everywhere Monet looked, there was softness—sunlight filtering through palms, laughter drifting from cafés, colour splashed across fabrics and fruit stalls. She told herself to breathe it in. Richard had left early that morning for meetings, kissing her temple, reminding her, Enjoy today, just for you. He’d meant it as a gift. A pause. A chance to heal without weight. So Monet dressed carefully. A loose white sundress, sandals, and her hair braided back from her face. She wanted to look like a woman on holiday. Not a woman bracing herself. The town was alive in a gentle way. Not loud just full. Shopkeepers greeted her warmly. Music drifted from somewhere unseen. She wandered slowly, fingers grazing linen and silk, stopping to admire hand-carved jewelry, brightly painted ceramics. For a while, i

The work party was held on the terrace overlooking the water, glass, and gold, and soft music floating through the humid night. Everything gleamed—champagne flutes, silk dresses, polished smiles worn by people who knew how to belong in rooms like this.Monet stood beside Richard, her hand resting lightly against his arm.She looked beautiful tonight. Effortlessly so. A pale dress that skimmed her frame, hair pinned back loosely, skin warm and rich and glowing under the lights. Anyone watching them would see a couple entirely at ease.Only Richard knew how tightly she was holding herself together.He introduced her to colleagues and investors, and names that Monet would forget the moment they were spoken. She smiled, nodded, listened. She had learned how to perform normalcy well—years of convent discipline, years of grief had taught her that.Then she saw her.The girl stood near the edge of the terrace, half-hidden behind a group of laughing adults. She couldn’t have been more than si

The morning came gently. Too gently, almost, as if the world had decided to be kind out of spite.Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, warm and golden, brushing Monet’s skin until she stirred. She lay still for a moment, listening to the sound of the sea outside, the steady inhale and exhale of Richard’s breathing behind her.For a few fragile seconds, nothing hurt.Then memory returned. The dream. The letter she hadn’t read. The knowledge that something in her life was shifting beneath her feet.She rolled carefully onto her side.Richard was awake already, propped on one elbow, watching her with quiet attentiveness. Monet couldn't understand how he always made it look as if he was always waiting for her but she loved it. His expression softened when their eyes met.“Morning,” he said.She nodded. “Morning.”They didn’t rush each other. There was no urgency here. No expectation. Just two people learning how to exist again after damage. Monet's eyes locked onto his bar

The sea was impossibly blue.Monet stood on the balcony with her hands resting on the railing, the morning sun warming her shoulders, the salt air curling through her hair. Below her, waves rolled lazily against white sand, rhythmic and patient, as if the world itself had decided there was no urgency here.She told herself to breathe it in. To enjoy it.This was supposed to be healing. A gift. A honeymoon, finally real, not born of grief or obligation or survival. She had promised herself she would not carry the clinic rooms, the hospital smells, the echo of sterile words with her across the ocean.So she smiled when Richard came up behind her.“You didn’t wake me,” she said lightly.He kissed her shoulder, lingered there a moment longer than necessary. “You looked peaceful. I didn’t want to steal it.”She turned to him, studying his face the way she’d learned to—searching not for beauty, but for tension. It was there. Carefully hidden. Carefully managed.“You have meetings today,” sh
