Brooklyn's POV

"What are you looking at?"

Jordan didn't answer immediately. He just stayed where he was by the door, bag over one shoulder, eyes still on me in that same steady way that made me feel like I was a puzzle he was trying to figure out.

"Well?" I said.

"Nothing." He pushed the door open slightly. "Forget it."

"Gladly." I moved toward the door to walk out and he shifted. Not aggressively — just enough to block the way. I stopped and looked up at him. "Excuse me."

"Brooklyn." He said m

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 138

    Brooklyn's POVI did not answer.One second passed. Then another. It was only a heartbeat too long, but it was long enough.Jordan's face changed.I watched it happen. The hope went first, then the colour. His shoulders came down slowly, like something heavy had been placed on them. His mouth opened a little and closed again. He looked at me the way you look at a house you grew up in after someone tells you it has been sold.He did not shout. That was the worst part."Okay," he said quietly."Jordan, let me explain.""No." He shook his head once. "You don't have to. I just read it on your face." He swallowed. "I asked because I wanted the truth. I would rather have that than another comfortable lie. Even if it hurts like this."My throat was so tight I could barely push the words out."There was a moment," I said. "More than one."He closed his eyes.A group of juniors laughed somewhere down the far end of the corridor, loud and careless, and the sound felt cruel. Jordan waited until

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 137

    Brooklyn's POV"Tonight," I repeated."Tonight."I stared at him. The corridor was quiet. Somewhere behind us a locker slammed, and the sound made me jump."Jordan, that is not forgiveness." My voice came out low. "That is a deal. You are telling me I can have you back if I give up the only thing keeping my family afloat.""I'm asking you to choose a better life.""It is not that simple.""Why not?""Because my mother's rent depends on that money." I counted it out on my fingers, because saying it plainly was the only way to stay calm. "Her medicine. The bills that are still sitting on her kitchen table. I can't walk out of a job in one night with nothing behind me.""I will help."I blinked. "What?""I'll cover what you lose." He pushed off the wall and stepped closer, his face open and earnest. "Whatever the rent is. I'll talk to my parents, or I'll find a way. You won't have to worry about it."For one second, I wanted to believe him.Then I looked at his eyes. They were kind, but

    Brooklyn's POV"I'm fine," I said.Sawyer raised one eyebrow."I am. Staying away from him is the only responsible thing left." I picked at the crust of my sandwich. "His father is watching. Riley is watching. If I slip once, I lose the job and my mother loses her rent. So I'm not pretending, Sawyer. I'm being careful.""Careful." She said the word slowly."Yes.""Then why is your voice shaking?"I stopped talking.I had not noticed. I pressed my lips together and looked at the table, and my hand on the sandwich was trembling slightly. I put it in my lap.Sawyer's face softened. "I'm not saying you should run to him. I'm saying you can't switch a feeling off by deciding not to look at it." She tapped the table once. "It doesn't disappear. It just waits. And when it comes back, it comes back loud.""That's very dramatic.""I'm usually right."I almost laughed. I did not quite get there."I just need more time," I said quietly. "A few more weeks. Then it will get easier.""Will it?"I d

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 135

    Brooklyn's POV"Daisy, shoes on, please. We leave in five minutes."That was the sentence I said most that week. Short, practical, and aimed at anyone except Emerson.I had decided on a plan. No eye contact. No unnecessary words. No standing in the same doorway for longer than a doorway needed. I became very good at it. I learned the sound of his door, the creak of his third stair, the exact moment he would come down for breakfast. I was always already leaving the kitchen.He did not make it easy.On Monday, I opened the cupboard to find Daisy's strawberry biscuits sitting on the front shelf. We had run out on Friday. I had meant to buy more.I did not ask who bought them. I put them in her lunchbox.On Tuesday, I came downstairs at six to start the laundry and the washing machine was already running. The basket was empty. A folded stack of Daisy's uniforms sat on the counter.I stood there for a moment, my hand on the cold edge of the worktop.I carried them upstairs without a word.

    Brooklyn's POV "Get him in the car," I whispered. "Sawyer, please. Now." Sawyer did not need telling twice. A taxi had been crawling down the street with its light on, slowed by the crowd of neighbours. She stepped into the road and waved both arms. It stopped. She dragged Jordan toward it, one arm hooked under his shoulder. He was still muttering, his head hanging, all the fight gone out of him. "Come on," she said. "In. Watch your head." "I'm not drunk," Jordan mumbled. "You are very drunk." She pushed him into the back seat and climbed in after him. She leaned out of the window and looked straight at me. *Call me later.* I nodded. The taxi pulled away. The front door of the house opened behind me. I turned around so fast my neck hurt. Patrick was coming down the steps in his dressing gown, his face hard and awake. Mr. Okafor straightened at once. A few neighbours were still standing at their gates, pretending not to stare. "What is all this noise?" Patrick said. His voi

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 135

    Emerson's POVI took the last corner too fast.The tyres screamed, and I did not care. Ahead of me the street was lit by the porch lights of three different houses, and every one of them was awake.Jordan was at the gate.He was swaying, one hand gripping the iron bars, the other jabbing a finger at our guard. Mr. Okafor stood firm in the gap, arms spread, face calm, the way he looked when he had been trained for something worse than a drunk teenager and was choosing not to use it."Move," Jordan shouted. "I said move! I am not leaving until she comes out!""Young man, I am asking you politely to go home.""Politely!" Jordan laughed, loud and ugly. "Everybody is so polite in this house!"I parked crooked and jumped out. I stopped twenty feet away, in the dark between two streetlights, where he could not see me yet.Brooklyn was inside the gate.She stood on the driveway with her arms wrapped around herself, wearing an old hoodie, her hair falling out of its tie. Her face was white. Sh

    Brooklyn's pov "Here is the deal." Emerson leaned against the hallway wall, arms crossed, voice low enough that Daisy couldn't hear from the dining room. He looked completely relaxed, like he negotiated truces every morning before breakfast. "I stay out of your way," he said, "so you're free to

    Brooklyn's pov "Time to feast."I heard Emerson say — cleats still on, grass-stained from soccer practice, heading straight for the kitchen like the fridge owed him something.I stayed on the couch and waited.The silence that followed was deeply satisfying."What the — " A pause. Then louder. "Why

    Brooklyn's pov "I'm really sorry, Mr. Weston. I can't work for you."The words came out before I could stop them. Patrick turned from the hallway and looked at me slowly, the way someone does when they're deciding how serious you are."Brooklyn." His voice was calm. "You are contracted through th

    Brooklyn's pov "Move!"Emerson shoved past me before I could even process what was happening. He threw himself over Daisy and me, arms spread wide, taking the full weight of the branch across his back.The crack was loud. Then silence.I scrambled to my feet, heart hammering. "Emerson — ""I'm fin
