LOGINTwo years since her last job as a nanny, Willow is lost at sea without a proper job. Being broke and living off the streets of Florida was never on her to do list and she is never planning on doing so, that's why when she received an email the next morning for an interview with Lorenzo Moretti, the richest businessman and a single father in the business world, she didn't think twice before showing up. Lorenzo is calm and quiet, too much of a professional himself, maybe that's why Willow never expected him to be a part of the mafia. Too much going on in her head, his children, her problems, his secrets and the very thick tension between them, there's just too many obstacles in the way of her profession. ****** “And you seemed busy up here, that's why I didn't want to disturb you.” I told him. He pulls me close, my hands grip the ends of his shirt to steady myself. I could feel every movement of his fingertips at the sides of my waist. I almost melted away when he placed a featherlike kiss at the base of my neck. “I would let you disturb me, Willow.”

I was so glad.” Lucas tells me as he spoons his cereal.“Yay!” Isabella my head la squeals in excitement, throwing her tiny arms in the air. I shake my head at them and wipe away breadcrumbs from the little girl’s mouth.The kids are so pumped for Halloween. You can’t imagine the look on their faces when they both got notices for Halloween break, it was wholesome.“Have you decided on what to wear for Halloween?” Julia asks us as she emerges from the kitchen with a jug of orange juice in her hand.I shake my head. “I’m not really looking forward to being in a costume,” I tell her honestly and she laughs.“Wooly can be a princess!” Isabella exclaims with a giddy giggle.“Yeah, easily,” Lucas says smiling so wide that his dimples looked like they were about to sink into his mouth.“Mhm, I’ll think about it,” I tell them. “What about you, Bella?”
Lorenzo “He’s in chains downstairs, the idiot won’t stop laughing, Zo,” Theodore tells me as I step out of my car. The guards waiting outside bow their heads in respect and I dismiss them as I take off my suit jacket and hand them to one of them.“Don’t worry about it,” I tell him as I walk towards the entrance. “He’ll stop.”Theodore sighs as he follows me, talking about how the guy annoys him more than anything, and that says a lot.“You’re going back to Florida after this right? Let’s go together, I have to see the kids and gift them some money, y’know, for some Halloween shopping.”“No,” I clipped.“No, we can’t go back together or no you’re not going back to Florida?”“No,” I repeat.“You always say yes in a unique way, you’re the best!” He tells me and I shake my head as I tug back the sleeves of my turtle neck slightly.I paused just before entering the chamber and turned to look at a dog held by one of the guards who suddenly stood up.“Whoa, that thing looks furious.” Theodo
WillowA few days earlier.“Willow,” Julia called quietly as we prepped the children’s lunch.“Yes Julia,” I answered and turned to see her holding the saltshaker. “Oh my, don’t tell me I mixed up the salt and sugar again!” I exclaimed.She shook her head as she chuckled.“I don’t even know how you manage to switch them each time.” She says and I puff out my cheeks, feeling heavily embarrassed. “But there’s something else I wanted to discuss with you.” She says and my eyes widen.“Oh, am I in trouble? Did I do something wrong?” I asked.“No, my dear,” Julia says as she emptied the sugar from the saltshaker. “It’s not that, it’s…it’s just, never mind.”“Oh, come on!” I whine. “You can’t just do that, just tell me what it is.”She pauses from refilling the saltshaker with salt and looks at me before sighing and placing it carefully on the counter. Julia looked at me with a small smile, but I felt my heart rate pick up at how sad it was.She reached out and held my hand, her eyes never w
Lorenzo“I love you, Willow.”But she looks at me like she’s been slapped across the face.Did it not come out right? Did I sound like I didn’t mean it?What is it that I said wrong in those three words that made more tears well up in her eyes and walk out of the kitchen? What am I doing so wrong?***“It’s a pleasure doing business with you Mr. Moretti, I assure you, you won’t be disappointed.” The man whose name I can’t bother to remember says with a smile while extending his hand for a handshake.I wanted to tell him to fuck off of my sight before I put a bullet between his fucking eyes. But then I remembered that I couldn’t…didn’t have to do that. Willow says being rude when there’s nothing to be rude about is bad.Fuck, but I’m already irritated enough from having to fly from Florida to Canada at 6 a.m. in the fucking morning just to close a 12 p.m. business deal, I don’t want to shake a fucking hand for fucks sake.I didn’t even realize that I was staring so hard at his hand unt
“It’s Halloween!” Isabella squeals her announcement as she emerges from the door. The pigtails I put her hair in this morning before school were nowhere to be found, only a nest of very disturbed hair.“Soon,” Lucas adds bluntly from beside me, lazily sprawled on the sofa. I can tell from the little
Lorenzo arches an eyebrow curiously at me as he enters my room, his footsteps slow – almost wary.“You look awfully pale,” He comments, closing the door behind him.I tear my eyes away from his face, suddenly interested in the design of my room all over again. I don’t know how I should look at him or
“Hey, I’m sorry but did you see the person who delivered this?” I asked the guard who dropped off the letter.He sighed and shook his head.“It was collected from the mail, it was dropped off this morning.” He told me.The thin envelope scrunched in my fist as I held it tightly. Sighing, I thank the gu
How many hours did we do it for? Or was it the minutes that felt like multiple days? I yawn, blinking away moisture from my eyes as I watch the sky become orange from sunset through the large windows.“Tired?” Lorenzo asked from behind, his fingers going through my curls carefully.I turn to look at h
