LOGINWhen Killian Grafton hires Daniela Marinelli as a nanny for his sons, she expects nothing more than a paycheck. Her goal is simple, work hard, save money, and one day reclaim her late father's company from her ruthless uncle. But sparks fly and tensions rise after Killian's sons secretly pull strings behind. They want her as their mummy and the only way they can be with her forever is if daddy falls in love with her. So they make it their mission to make sure their daddy falls in love with her, which he does. Daniela’s presence in his home ignites something possessive inside him, something dangerous, and before long, her world collides with his in a way she never imagined. But whenever Killian sees her around her male friends, it always unsettles him. Fueled by jealousy and obsession, Killian traps her in a marriage contract, under the guise of protection, control, or whatever excuse suits him. As days blur into nights, Daniela starts becoming more of a wife than a nanny, drawn into a web of passion, power, and secrets. But what happens when a love rival appears? Killian's love for Daniela is put to a test. He must decide between giving up everything he has or doing whatever it takes to keep her by his side.

She settled into the seat and picked up her cutleries. “Thank you, Mr. Grafton.” They ate in silence, but every now and then, Vivienne stole glances at him. When she was done, she set her spoon down and smiled. “Thank you Mr. Grafton. I'll treat you to lunch next time when you are free.” Killian just waved it off. “You don't necessarily have to do that.” Not long after, a knock sounded on the door. “Come in.” He said. Two waiters walked in. As Killian spoke with them, Vivienne silently pulled out her phone. She angled her camera, taking a picture of Killian and the empty dishes. A cruel smile tugged at her lips as she sent the image to the fashion school group chat with the caption, “Just finished having lunch with Mr. Grafton, it was so delightful.” Immediately, the post exploded with reactions. She smiled and slid her phone back into her bag. Killian stood up and looked at her. “Thanks for coming, Wilson will see you off.”
Back in the Grafton Headquarters, Killian glanced at his watch as Wilson walked in. “Lunch is ready.” He announced. Killian gave a slight nod. “I'll be there shortly.” He picked up his phone, a smile forming on his face as he typed a message. Him: Are you free, let's have lunch together. He stood up and pulled off his tie before walking out of his office. When he got to his office dining room, the table was already arranged with several dishes. He sat down, but his expression was replaced by a frown as he read Daniela's message. Daniela: I can't have lunch with you. I'm busy.” He glanced at the table. There's no way he can finish all these. But since she said she was busy, he couldn't force her. Just then, the door opened and Vivienne's voice sounded. “Mr. Killian,” she called, stepping in and closing the door. Killian looked up. “Yes?” “I forgot to mention it to you. Mr. Teris invited you for a meeting at his golf course by the end of the week.” “Noted. Thanks fo
Class went on for a while. After Vivienne had finished explaining some things, she closed her note then looked up. “Today,” she said, stopping at the front of the studio, “each of you will be working on a single project. No group work. Just you and your ideas.”A few students straightened. Others groaned softly.Vivienne continued, unfazed. “The theme is constraint.”Daniela’s fingers paused mid-reach for her pencil.“Not restriction imposed by force,” Vivienne clarified. “Constraint that is chosen. Accepted. Worn.” Her eyes swept the room. “You will design something that reflects that tension.”The room came alive immediately. Pencils scratching, fabric being dragged closer, mannequins turned and adjusted. Daniela stared at her blank page, letting the word settle.Constraint.Liz leaned toward her. “This feels personal,” she whispered.Daniela didn’t answer. Her pencil finally touched paper.Vivienne watched them work for a moment, then checked her watch.“I won’t be here for the e
The night air was cool, but Killian’s touch burned everywhere it lingered.Daniela’s fingers tightened in his shirt as his lips traced her neck, her breath uneven, heart racing.When he finally paused, his forehead resting against hers, she felt the tremor he tried to hide.“Daniela,” he murmured with a hoarse voice. “I love you.”Her chest tightened. She lifted her hands to his face, thumbs brushing his jaw, feeling the tension locked there. “I know how much you’ve been carrying,” she whispered. “All of it. You don’t have to anymore.”His eyes searched hers, as if asking permission to believe her.“I want you to be mine,” he said quietly. “Not owned. Chosen. I want a life with you, morning chaos with the quadruplets, late nights, everything.”Emotion swelled in her chest. Daniela nodded, tears blurring her vision as she leaned into him. “I’m here,” she said, stroking his hair the way she knew calmed him. Something in him gave way. He pulled her close, holding her like an anchor,
