CHAPTER 1

Emily Tamara Jacobs

It wasn't just any Monday to me especially as I got to resume work today. Now, don't get me wrong. It wasn't like I didn't have a job before now. I did but now, I had to work for another family as a nanny and for some reasons known to me, I was suddenly nervous.

“So, what were you saying again?” My maternal cousin, Selene, asked as she placed on the island the basket she had been bringing with her from the bedroom. She turned toward me as she wiped her hand clean with a napkin.

“I was asking you to give me a preview of what my soon-to-be boss looks like. I mean, who he is.” I explained. She sighed and dumped the napkin back in its place before walking over to her son who was settled at the breakfast bar happily munching on his cereals. We were both shitting ourselves.

“David, eat slowly.” She muttered as she ruffled his brown curls. Six-year-old David glanced up from his meal and stuck out his tongue at me. I smiled and waved back at him.

“I thought you told me that you were going to look that up on the internet, ” Selene mumbled as she went about trying to prepare the lunch boxes for her kids.

“G****e doesn't do well enough with the news. All I saw were his achievements and other accomplishments.” I rolled my eyes as I leaned forward on the island, arching my body against it.

“Goddamn Emily!” Selene shut the fridge close with a loud bang that had David flinching. I didn't flinch since I kinda of expected it. Selene doesn't work well under pressure. And she was always under pressure every morning when she prepared her kids for school.

“Language, Sel.” I chided her softly, sending her a soft scowl. She sighed and patted her long blonde hair which she had packed into a high ponytail. 

“You had the whole night to talk to me about it. Why now?” She said through tight lips as she gestured to the open lunch boxes before her.

“I couldn't have spoken to you about it, not when you were tangled up in the sheets with Dan,” I mumbled, grimacing slightly at the image in my mind. I really should learn to stop snooping around to avoid seeing the things I didn't want to see.

“Jesus, Emily!” Sel screamed face-palming which made me laugh. David stopped eating to glance at his mum and I saw the worried look that immediately took over her face.

“Mom, are you seeing Dan now?” The boy looked hopeful, his large brown orbs twinkling as he looked up at his mum. Selene placed her hands on her hip before glancing at me for a split second.

“Thank you, Emily.” She gritted and I passed her a mischievous grin. Rolling her eyes, she walked away from where she was standing over to where David was seated having his breakfast.

Crouching low in front of him, she ruffled his hair while smiling. “No, sweetie. Mommy is not seeing Dan.” She told him.

David looked like he wanted to say something but he held back. He always did that, always holding back on what he wanted to say. He turned that way last year after his father left. He glanced down at his bowl of cereals and nodded slowly. Selene sighed before planting a small kiss on his cheeks.

I moved away from where I was standing, grabbing a medium-sized apple alongside me as I walked toward her to help her finish packing the kid's lunch boxes.

“Eleanor!” Selene screamed her lungs out as she called out to her youngest child. I chuckled as I watched her walk over to the bottom of the stairs to yell the little child's name again.

“Eleanor!” She yelled again. “You come down here young lady and have breakfast!” She added in a firm tone.

“Leave me alone, mom.” I heard her tiny, whiny sharp reply. I knew she was standing up there and looking back at her mum. She was rebellious even though she was just four.

“I said come down here, have breakfast, and get to school right now. I don't care if you can't find your teddy.” Selene screamed, holding her forehead. After that, nothing was heard. Not until moments later when her tiny approaching footsteps on the staircase resonated across the room.

Soon, she was standing in front of her mum, sulking loudly. Her small eyes were a replica of Selene's puffy; a sign that she had been crying. Her well-packed hair already had tendrils framing her face. She tucked her lips out and folded her arm across her chest. Small-sized and very stubborn, Eleanor.

Selene's gaze softened as she stared down at her. “I will get you another one, ” She promised. 

Eleanor did not say anything again. She just walked away to her small chair where a bowl of cereal was already waiting for her.

“This girl, ” Selene shook her head before walking back toward their lunch boxes where she added the juice boxes she had taken from the fridge earlier. She zipped the box and placed it beside their respective backpack. Then, she took a step back and watched it.

The life of a single mum with two kids.

“Stop drinking the milk like that, David. It's disgusting.” Barely five minutes into the meal and she–Eleanor was already complaining.

“I will eat whatever way I want.” David fired back sharply as he met her expression with a death glare.

“But it's irritating. Eww, ” She whined, scrunching up her pretty face. David didn't mind her cos he picked up his bowl and drank his milk directly from it. “Mum, ask David to stop drinking like that, ” She whined, calling the attention of her mum.

“Eleanor, eat your food.” Her mum chided softly.

“But it's so, ewww. I'm going to puke.” She made a gagging noise and I laughed. She was such a cute devil. Selene sighed and turned to me for help.

“That's enough Eleanor. See, Dave is done. Now, finish up so you can go to school. Your school bus will be here any moment from now.” I told Just about the same time a loud familiar horn blared outside to get our attention.

“Great! Your school bus is here.” Selene said in sarcasm before walking toward Eleanor. She scooped a spoonful of the cereals into the spoon and quickly spoon-fed her. Thankfully, the tiny girl did not protest.

While she did that, I helped David get into his backpack. Soon, he was ready to go and he told his mum before running out. Selene grabbed a bottle of water and handed it to Eleanor before picking her up in her arms. I handed her Eleanor's school bag and lunch box before she walked away… from the house.

While she was gone, I settled for cleaning the kitchen and doing the dishes. I was still on it when Selene walked back in.

“Finally, they are gone.” She breathed and I couldn't help snickering in reply. “That girl is a handful.” 

“She is her mother's daughter.” I chuckled as I finished rinsing the last bowl, dried it, and put it back where it belonged. Then, I turned toward Selene.

“I don't know much about my big boss because I don't work directly under him. You and I know I'm just a manager. But I know enough for your use.” She started when she saw the look on my face.

“I'm listening, ” I urged her to continue.

“William Blakes, cold arrogant thirty-five-year-old dangerous CEO of the Blakes INC. Most people like to call him Blades because well, he is dangerous and ruthless. His tongue has no filter. He says what he wants when he wants it. He detests being questioned, hates women.” She relayed and I nodded, taking it all in.

“So, he is a misogynist?” I asked as I arched my back against the counter still watching her.

“Not a misogynist. He just has a personal feud with women because his wife left him. He has a daughter whom you will be taking care of, you already know that.” She concluded and I sighed.

“Well, I've had to put up with a lot of nasty clients. This can't be hard.” I sounded like I was trying to convince myself more than I was convincing her this time.

“Just do your part and you will be fine. That's all I can say.” She advised me. “Do you think this is a good idea though?” She narrowed her eyes down at me.

“It doesn't matter. I'm Emily now, not that goddamn name I hate!” I seethed.

Her expression softened and she sighed. “Just be careful.” She advised me.

“Thanks, Sel.” I exhaled.

“I will miss you. The kids will miss you too.” She pouted softly. I knew that she would miss me. It was the reason why I didn't want to take the job in the first place but my agency referred me and there was nothing I could do except I wanted to stay idle for more than three months. That, I wasn't ready to do.

“I know right? I will miss you guys too. But don't worry, I will pop in once in a while.” I smiled and she nodded. “Things seemed to be moving fast between you and Dan.” I wiggled my brows at her and she laughed, suddenly turning shy.

“It just happened. We honestly weren't planning to.” She tried to defend herself but I just scoffed. When she saw that nothing she could say could convince me, she shook her head and walked away to grab her bag.

When she came back down, ready to go to work, she stopped to stare at me. “I will see you at the company, okay?” She breathed.

“Okay, ” I nodded. She blew me a kiss before she turned on her heels and walked out of the house, slamming the door shut behind her.

CHAPTER 2
Emily Tamara Jacobs.I pulled my large box along with me as I trudged down the staircase of Selene's house. I had packed everything I would need to work in the Billionaire's mansion.It wasn't my first time being a live-in nanny. I was just going to work for a couple of months or years then get assigned to work somewhere else. It was how the agency worked.I was a trained nanny. After I left college, I moved in with Selene; my cousin. At that time, she was newly married to her ex-husband, Bryan. She was just a few months gone so it was the perfect time for me to move in. I wasn't planning on staying long with her. I just wanted to get a job and secure my apartment before moving out.But the job didn't come. Not when he did everything he could to block my path to success. He wanted me to plead and beg but I already vowed that I was never going to do any of that.For many weeks, I wandered about the streets of New York in search of a job.

CHAPTER 3
Emily Tamara Jacobs I gulped, a little bit too loud, my heart hitting my chest at an abnormally fast rate while fearing that he might have heard me gulp. My palms had turned sweaty, and I wiped them on my jeans hurriedly, just as he spoke again.Wasn't it a bad idea to step into the territory of a rival?Was I not making a big mistake?Am I being sensible at the moment? “Reece, I don’t think I’d like to repeat myself,” he said, his tone laced with malice. I felt a shiver run down my spine, wondering if that was the same tone he used with everyone he was talking to. “You already know what I want. Get it done with,” he added, before removing the phone from his ear. I could hear the beep sound made by the phone once he clicked the red button. My feet remained rooted to the spot, and my voice seemed to have disappeared, as I just stood there, staring at his back, my heartbeat not refusing to slow down. What the fuck was I doing again? Oh, Christ! I began mumbling some prayers withi

CHAPTER 4
Emily Tamara JacobsThe car pulled to a stop in front of the tall-looking building. Ever since we entered this part of town, away from the bustling city, I had been on alert. I meant, what if he was taking me to a murder spot to be murdered?What would I tell Sel and her kids?Thinking of Sel, I had yet to call her ever since that time. I should have texted her before we left the company. Looking around me now, I didn't think that there was time for that.The door to my side got pulled open and I heaved a deep sigh before I stepped out of the car. Crew had gotten the door for me. I gave him a small smile in appreciation which he returned.I looked around my environment as I helped myself with my box which had been taken from the car's booth. A large mass of tall trees and flowers spread along the line. My brows furrowed as I looked around. How could a child live in a place like this?For more than twenty minutes that we drove down here, there had been no cars along the road or any bui

CHAPTER 5
Emily Tamara Jacobs. I looked around. The walls of the room were painted indigo and white. The bedspread of my bed was black, with four purple pillows spread out at the head. I love how warm and cozy the colors are. I eyed the walk-in closet, a part of my mind whispered that now was the right time to get my ass off the bed and arrange my clothes into it, and the other part told me to lay my back on the bed and let the comfort whisk me away to wonderland. I gave in to the other part, laying on the bed, a soft moan escaping my lips as I felt the muscles in my lower back loosen. I stretched out my hand, searching around for my phone and picking it up. I texted Selene, informing her that I was settled in William’s house, before setting up an alarm for myself. I dropped the phone next to my ear and then released a contented sigh as I closed my eyes. I whisked my eyes open moments later. The alarm was so damn loud. Reaching for my phone which I had tossed somewhere earlier, I took it an

CHAPTER 6
Emily Tamara Jacobs I held out the book in my hand as I stared down at the little girl. She was lying down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling in the dimmed room. She was still upset, I could tell. “Would you like me to read this one, Suzie?” I held out the storybook I had hand-selected for her. It was a princess book, so I hoped she would love it. She shook her head slightly before turning her head away from me. She angled her body to the other side, looking at the wall. I exhaled not knowing what to do or say again. After she ran out of the kitchen earlier, she stayed holed up in her room. Minutes after, I climbed up the stairs to talk to her but she turned her back against me, looking at the wall. She had been so upset a

CHAPTER 7
William Henry BlakesI let out a sigh as I rubbed my eyes. I turned away from the door and slowly crept away from the place, heading down the stairs. Suzlzie had one of her nightmares again, sending me out of bed.It started a few months back. She was still three when it began. It was the same day her mother left that she started to have those nightmares. A part of me wanted to hate her for leaving but why should I be bothered? They were all the same thing. They acted the same way.I walked down the stairs in the dark, running my hand through my hair. I had gotten sensitive the past few months since the nightmare started. Usually, I would just stand by her door and let her nannies handle it. I never went in because they were always there before me. I didn't think I would be able to handle seeing her that way, crying and tossing about. If I would not go back to searching for her mother.I walked into the kitchen and the lights turned on automatically. I went straight to the fridge and

CHAPTER 8
Emily Tamara Jacobs. My eyes flipped open at the break of dawn when the alarm I had set up wouldn't stop ringing. Turning over to the side of the bed, I clutched my duvet tightly and pressed my head onto the pillow. I had barely gotten enough sleep with having to wake up earlier in the night and staying around for Williams to arrive from work. I huffed and turned on the bed. My hands moved around on their own, trying to find my phone. My hands kept moving around, but it seemed my phone wasn't anywhere near. I opened one eye and winced as the alarm rang again.“Ugh!“ I sat up properly on the bed, a huge frown on my face as I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and glared at it, turning off the alarm. It was a little before six a.m. I sighed, dropping my phone on the other end of the bed. I laid back on the bed, closing my eyes and breathing steadily. I was feeling so exhausted and I hated it. It made me feel a little incapable.Alright Em. You can do this! I kept my breathing s

CHAPTER 9
William Henry Blakes. My lips were in a tight line as I ambled down the plane. I checked my wristwatch for the umpteenth time, the scowl on my face deepening. I was still late. I should have gotten ready earlier but Suzie just had to be my undoing. No matter how hard I tried to get here as early as possible. But I trusted Reece to do his job wonderfully and delay the Roosevelt bastard just like I had asked him to. I took out my phone from my pocket, checking my phone to see if I had any calls from my father or Reece. I halted in my tracks, scrunching my face as I scrolled through my phone. I expected a text from Reece. An update on whatever was going on at the airport. But I saw nothing. I tried not to scream or throw my phone away in anger as I locked the screen and continued walking towards the Maybach parked a few feet across, waiting for me. I increased my pace, knowing fully well that every time I wasted brooding was going to bounce back on my business. As I got to the car

CHAPTER 10
Richard Henry BlakesI stormed into my hotel suite, tugging off my tie with one hand and flinging my phone on the bed with the other hand. My frustration boiled over with every step. I just got played. Roosevelt fucking played me. I never missed it, how did this happen? An emotion I hated deeply descended on me like a heavy blanket. Defeat. Failure. It clung to me like a suffocating cloak. I rubbed my face, sighing deeply, before picking up my phone and walking out of the room. I needed something strong to clear my head before I lost my mind and killed someone. Reece to be precise. I wandered down to the hotel bar, praying that a drink could calm me down. It would have no other choice anyway.As I settled into a barstool, I took out my phone from my pocket and checked the screen, hoping to see an apology and a very detailed explanation from Reece. Instead, what I saw was a text and a missed call from Emily, intensifying my irritation. “Just what I needed,” I muttered with annoyan
