Maddox POV

It was past midnight when I received the phone call. Now I stood in the hospital, my look so dark that security flinched and the hospital director looked as though he'd rather be anywhere else than answer to me.

"Explain," I said tersely, "explain how you failed to recognize a threat in your own hospital and how my daughter's nanny, somebody I care about, was almost killed as a result."

The director shook in his boots.

"Alpha Maddox, we have no excuses. What happened is unacceptable

    Maddox POVIt was past midnight when I received the phone call. Now I stood in the hospital, my look so dark that security flinched and the hospital director looked as though he'd rather be anywhere else than answer to me. "Explain," I said tersely, "explain how you failed to recognize a threat in your own hospital and how my daughter's nanny, somebody I care about, was almost killed as a result."The director shook in his boots."Alpha Maddox, we have no excuses. What happened is unacceptable. We've handed over all footage to your people and will, of course, cooperate with the investigation. The authorities have the surveillance as well."I said nothing. I was so angry that my wolf wanted to shift and tear the building into pieces."What about Celeste? Did anybody attempt to harm her?"The director shook his head immediately. "Both women are in a different wing. Your fiancée is perfectly fine. She has security guards that have been assigned to her. Nobody is getting in that room ex

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Accidental Omega Nanny   Chapter 18: A Close Call

    Ivy POVMy mind was hazy. I lay in the hospital bed, hopped up on painkillers, and heavily bandaged. The pain was gone. In fact, I felt numb, which further cheered me. "Fucking Maddox. It's his fault I got shot," I mumbled. "If he hadn't made me come, I would be with Rosalie painting or running races. Asshole."A nurse came in to check my vitals.I barely noticed her.I was tired. I felt slightly heated but not enough to concern me. "Your vitals are stable," the nurse chirped, her tone pleasant, "that's a good sign. It means you're healing. You will be able to be discharged tomorrow if things continue to improve."She frowned."Unfortunately, you will still have a scar where the bullet pierced you. There's nothing that can be done about that."I waved a hand at her."It's okay. Just makes me look badass. Maybe I'll get a tattoo or something to cover it," I said consideringly, "something menacing."The nurse laughed."Maybe don't make that decision when you're under the influence of

    Maddox POV"Maddox, I was so scared," Celeste sobbed, reaching out and grabbing my hand. "I thought we were all going to die. Thank god you protected us; we might not have survived otherwise."She was hooked up to an IV, her complexion pale, her hair loose and dishevelled, and her clothes rumpled. She was a pitiful sight.My thoughts went back to Ivy. "Ivy helped too. If she hadn't assisted, then in all likelihood they might have managed to get away with my daughter," I said darkly.Celeste looked away, eyes shimmering."Of course. We owe a lot to Ivy. I'm just so sorry about how useless I proved to be. I just froze," she hiccuped. "I just stood there like an idiot. I should have done more. I'm so ashamed."My eyes softened."You were scared. It's understandable. I don't blame you, Celeste. I'm grateful that everybody is alright."She gave me a tremulous smile."What did they want?" she whispered. "I don't understand why there was a sudden attack. It was almost like..." She paused an

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Accidental Omega Nanny   Chapter 16: Bad Luck

    Ivy POV"God, I'm bored," I moaned, uncaring that I sounded childish as Rosalie blinked up at me. "How long does it take to pick out a damn ring? Is she looking for a magical diamond or something? If that existed, then I would buy her one so that she turned into a damn lizard and slithered away."Rosalie grinned as we studied the display.I could tell she was growing restless. We stared at the shiny jewellery, but none of it appealed to either of us. For one embarrassing moment, I considered asking Rosalie to throw herself on the ground and kick her feet like she was throwing a tantrum to get out of this blasted shop.I'm not proud of that. Especially since I had my suspicions that she would have agreed to it. Then I would have looked like I was incompetent."Damnit, I swear to god, I'm about to break her finger," I muttered under my breath, "or set off the security alarm. Why has my bad luck failed me now?" I moaned, "Where is it when I need it?"Rosalie gripped my hand, letting o

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Accidental Omega Nanny   Chapter 15: Opportunity

    Third-person POVThis was it, the moment Celeste had been waiting for. The opportunity to finally show Ivy how little she meant to Maddox and be rid of her once and for all. If Maddox stopped trusting that irritating woman, then Celeste would finally be rid of one nuisance. Then it would be time to get rid of that annoying brat Rosalie. She smiled coldly, staring out the window of the limousine, her hand tightly holding her phone out of view, her fingers tapping out one message.It's time. I've waited long enough. Have the men appear at Luxe Jewellers. Make sure there are no mistakes; I can't afford for Maddox to become suspicious. If Rosalie gets harmed, all the better.Callan's reply came seconds later. She hastily covered the notification with her hand as Maddox glanced at her."What's that?" he asked. "Who's messaging?"Celeste quickly smiled at him, pretending nothing was amiss."It's just work. I accidentally forgot to leave out a file, and a colleague is asking where it is," sh

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Accidental Omega Nanny   Chapter 14: Cornered

    Ivy POVI couldn't sleep. I moved restlessly on the bed, my body refusing to relax, my thoughts on overdrive.I could not forget that kiss. I could not forget the way he'd held me, the way he'd pushed his tongue inside me and made my knees buckle with desire.My body was heated, and every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Maddox and the man I had no business beginning to fall for.I was just the nanny. I was just the help. I was a pitiful omega who could not possibly hope to compete with the likes of Celeste, who was not only stronger than me, but the daughter of an Alpha.I would never catch Maddox's eye. He'd only kissed me to distract me from my fear, not because he wanted me. He had merely been trying to calm me down. Unfortunately, it had worked too well. Now it was all I could think about.I sat up in frustration and threw my pillow to the ground."Damn the man," my voice was cross, "acting like every woman's wet dream and making it so I can't sleep. Doesn't he know h
