LOGINThane's POV Seraphina's steps were heavy as she descended the stairs. I inhaled deeply and watched her until she got to the last step. She folded her arms and glared at us. “Should I pour myself a drink or I'm not invited to the party?” I reached for the glass. “I'll pour you a drink.”“How generous.” She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she approached the table. She brushed her shoulders roughly against Amy's before taking her chair. “I should probably excuse…” Amy started saying as she pushed her chair back and got on her feet. “If you don't sit you wretched ugly ass.” Seraphina said, her voice gaining a baritone. She was glaring at Amy now. “Sera.” I called softly and her head instantly snapped to my direction. “Do you not have better things to do than sit here and gossip about my parenting with the nanny.” I exhaled and ran my hand through my hair. “I promise you it's not what you think.”“Think?” She laughed dryly. “I just heard you tell her I'm no use.” “Amy had
Amy's POV I bit down tightly on my tongue as Lucien lashed at me. He didn't say those words to hurt me. He was simply a child wielding the truth he had been fed all his life. “I am your just nanny.” I choked out. “It is my job to make sure you are fine so I can tell you what to do.” I glanced sideways to see that Ronan had stopped eating. He watched both of us with a keenness that made my stomach lurch. “Come on, Ronan. Eat up.” I reached sideways and squeezed his shoulders briefly. He blinked and picked up his fork. Lucien on the other hand glared at us. I got on my feet and reached for him. He slipped away from my grip and ran towards the main door. “Lucien stop.” I yelled as I went after him. I had no choice but to go after him as quickly as I could. Once he burst into the garden, I could hear him giggling and screaming. He was enjoying this but I wasn't. I had just had a plate of baked beans and a sprint was not part of plan. I felt my food push back to my throat and I pau
Amy's POV I had dealt with difficult people all my life, from my bosses to the doctors at the hospital, and I knew what I had just gotten myself into. That was what I told myself as I stood outside Lucien's door the following morning, holding a breakfast tray. I spent the better part of last night thinking about my conversation with Kane. Living in the same house as Thane was going to be difficult. It unsettled me, and it ripped my heart to stand in front of the man who had once known every little thing about me and pretend that we were strangers. But right now, I could not afford to dwell on it because I had a job to do, and more importantly, a son to get close to. I knocked gently on the door. “Lucien, it's time for breakfast.” “Go away,” he yelled. I closed my eyes briefly. “You have to open up or your breakfast will get cold.” “I said go away.”I pushed the door open carefully. The room was enormous, almost as big as my previous apartment. Expensive toys were scattered acros
Amy's POV The sound of the glass shattering against the marble floor made me freeze. I turned towards the door and Kane was staring at me like he had seen a ghost. His face was suddenly drained of color, and his mouth slightly hung open. Broken pieces of the wine bottle lay scattered around his shoes as the red wine spread across the floor. “Is everything okay?” Thane asked and Kane nodded stiffly. “Yes, Alpha. The bottle slipped.” he said. “Get someone to clean it,” Thane said. “This is Amy. She's the new nanny.”“Hello Amy.” Kane said through clenched teeth as he took heavy steps towards me. He stretched out his hand for a handshake and I took it. His fingers tightened around mine, and his eyes remained on my face. “Show her around and tell her what she has to do.” Thane said. “She starts work tomorrow. Good luck, Amy.” He tapped my shoulder and I drew in a sharp breath. We both watched Thane go up the stairs without another word. Once he was out of sight, Kane turned to me. “
Amy's POV I had spent days reading everything I could find about Thane Sterling and his family. He was married to Seraphina and they had a little boy. I stared at my son through the screen and ran a finger across it. My lost child. I noticed how he wasn't identical to Ronan and a part of me thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the job.The choice was quickly ripped away when Ronan's medical bill had arrived in the mail alongside my termination of employment from the jewelry shop. Right now beneath the scorching sun, I was trying to locate Thane's mansion.“Mummy, who do we know here?” Ronan whined, his little hands tugging at my skirt. I swallowed. “Nobody.”“Oh my goodness.” A woman who was walking by suddenly started taking quick steps towards us. I grabbed Ronan’s hand. “That hair.” She crouched in front of him and he hid behind me. “Is this child royalty?”“He is not.” I snapped at her. “He is just a normal child who played with his grandma’s dye.”She blinked and sudden
Amy's POV Five years later…“I promise you I am going to pay by the end of month.” I rubbed my palms together while moving from one foot to another. “I can drop my credit card.” I said, frantically searching through my purse. “Just please treat my son.” The doctor who was an elderly woman looked at me with so much pity. Over the last five years, I had learned to live with it. “You can drop your card at the reception.”I exhaled shakily and closed my eyes for a second. “Mummy.” Ronan called weakly. I carefully wiped the blood from his nose. “Am I going to die?”I bit on my lower lip and shook my head. “No baby. Superheroes don't die.”“I would send a nurse to take him now.” The doctor said and I simply nodded. I was too exhausted to say a word. Working two jobs and taking care of a child who was terminally ill all by myself had aged me so quickly. I followed closely as Ronan was placed in a room. I stood outside the glass doors watching them for a minute before going to drop off
