“Isn’t it funny how easily a moment becomes a memory?”

….

~ Austin ~

I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that my only daughter was missing!

My only connection to Joanna, and the symbol of our undying love for each other… was missing.

“I have a feeling that Callum Turner is behind this…” Peter’s voice rang through the phone.

“What do you think he wants?” I asked, hating the fact that I felt so powerless in this situation.

Though Callum Turner dominated the south. It was no secret that his influence rang deeper than one could imagine. And if he was indeed behind Keren’s abduction… Then I fear that getting her back might not be as easy as it should be.

“We both know what he wants…” I know… And it kills me to realize that the reason why my daughter is in danger is because of Alyssa.

“He became obsessed with her the second he saw her.”

“Was their engagement truly valid?”

“Yes,... The Emersons and Turners have been close for decades. And it’s no surprise that our parents had

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Final bridal walk.

    “True impact isn’t about how much you have, but the legacy you leave behind.”….~ Austin ~My tears dropped as I watched my bride slowly approach me. Her wedding dress, clinging so tightly to her body… highlighting her beautiful body and curves.Sometimes, I wondered if the reason I hadn’t noticed her beauty firsthand was because I was blind. Or maybe, I had been too blinded by grief to actually notice it. But either way, I was blind and so blind to not have noticed that. ….~ Alyssa ~The bridal walk, which was meant to be less than five minutes, took longer than I expected it to as Keren and her bestfriend, Elisa danced happily in front of us, whilst performing their flower girl duties… of spraying petals ahead of my steps. Keren was putting on a white ball gown, which looked super nice on her. But it also made her look older. I wiped my tears as I thought of how long it had really been… though it still seemed like yesterday. The twins were two now and were standing beside their

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Taste of my own medicine.

    “To err is human, to forgive is divine.”….~ Austin ~Mom looks different, a lot older and less extravagantly dressed. While Isaac didn’t look that different, he was just less stoic.“You called for me.” I say, taking a seat on the balcony. The hospital’s VVIP suite has by far surpassed my expectations. As it has everything a normal apartment would and even more, when you consider the customized hospital beds and the timely responses of the doctors and nurses. Though there hadn’t been any complications so far. The doctor had suggested we wait two more days so they can best monitor both Alyssa and our twins. And well… I had no problem with that. As long as my wife and twins were okay.“It’s been so long, Aus…” Mom said, wiping away her tears. It’s been so long indeed. The last time I had spoken to her was a few days after Dad’s death, when she’d cut off all ties with me. “I wouldn’t have been able to recognize you if I hadn’t been following news about you on the internet.” He was mon

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Big sister.

    “The end of a thing is better than its beginning.” ….~ Alyssa ~“Hay… den.” Keren whispered, repeating the name of the second twin. “She’s beautiful, Momma!” Her eyes were lit up with excitement as she stared at her little sister. “Just like you, Honeypie.”“Will she wear my clothes?”“Yes.”“Will she read my storybooks?”“Yes.”“Will she play with me?”“Yes, honey… She will do all of those.” I responded as a happy tear fell out of the corner of my eye. “Can I hold her?” Keren stretched forth her hands, and I chuckled at how fast she was at doing so.“Okay.” I made her seat comfortably on the couch before gently placing the sleeping Hayden in her arms.“Oh… she’s so bigggg.” I chuckled yet again… at her cuteness. She’d probably be expecting her little sister to weigh the same as her paintbrush, or even less. “Yes, she is.”“I think I like her, Mom!” She smiled wildly whilst staring at her sister like she was the best thing that has ever happened to her. “I know you do, Honey… yo

    “Just start. The rest will follow.”….~ Austin ~My eyes fluttered open, and the voice of my wife flowed through my consciousness, reminding me… that my worst nightmare didn’t come true.“Austin… you are awake?” I sat up, despite how lightheaded I felt, and looked down at her. She was wearing a light blue, V-necked brown top and wide-leg pants. It looked different on her somehow. That was when… I noticed her now flat belly. “Alyssa—”“Our babies… They survived.” I didn’t anticipate the wave of relief that rushed through me on hearing that. I could still hear the doctor’s voice in my head and the dread on his face when he’d relayed the horrible news to me. “How…?” The doctor wouldn’t have given me that news if everything had been alright initially. Besides… I’d been covered in her blood when we’d gotten to the hospital. Though I had been too concerned for her to actually pay attention to it. “It was a miracle, you know.” “I have all day… Tell me about it.” I replied, shifting to t

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   “You need to go back.”

    “And… I hope you know that sad endings make way for happy and heartwarming beginnings.”….~ Alyssa ~As I labored in pain… I felt life slipping away from me unexplainably“Please hang on, Mrs Hook!” One of the nurses pleaded. “You are almost there; don’t stop pushing.” She echoed, but I had barely any strength left. Brielle had briefed me on the many complications that could arise in labor, but I hadn’t anticipated any of those would happen to me. After all, I’d been taking adequate care of myself like they’d instructed and avoided stress as much as possible. “Please don’t go!” One of the nurse's panicked voices reached me. I tried to hold on but couldn’t.The last thing I recalled was me pushing with all my might… before everything faded into complete darkness. ….I was walking, but it felt like I was floating in thin air until I stopped to look down at myself. My stomach was flat, and my baby bump was nonexistent. I took a step, only to realize just how weightless, frail, and ti

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   “Is this the end?”

    “I hope you never give up when life gets hard.” ….~ Austin ~“Have you decided on their names yet?” I asked the now focused Alyssa.I had once assumed art was the only thing that could cause her to zone out. How wrong I was. She’d been knitting a blue jacket for over an hour now and hadn’t moved nor spoken a word. Though we were seated opposite each other, she on her knitting chair and I on a couch bed, as I read the daily newspaper. It was almost as if I was the only one in the room.“Oh… I like the name, Daniel. So I am thinking of Daniel and Daniella?”“Do they have to rhyme?” I chuckled. “Maybe.”“How about Hayden and Caden?”Her eyes went wide at my words. “That’s so cool. How come I never thought of that?”“Simply because you didn’t.” I say with a smile.“What are their meanings?”“Caden means little fighter and Hayden means Hay valley.”“Never thought you’d sound religious one day.”“And maybe I am slowly becoming religious.” I say, standing up after dropping my newspaper o
