“We don’t always get to choose who our heart beats for. But we can always choose where we direct our energy and focus.”

….

~ Alyssa ~

I never assumed that the day would come when I would be heading to the beach for a picnic with both Keren and Austin. Though it wasn’t my first time going to the beach with a possible significant other, as Mark and I had been on multiple beach dates during the duration of our relationship.

But it felt different this time, with Austin and all.

I searched through my suitcase, trying to find maybe a three-piece suit. But didn’t. Though Austin and I had grown so close in the past few days, it still felt weird walking around in a bikini in front of him. Though we weren’t alone and others would be there, it didn’t solve my discomfort.

I was finally able to walk towards the side of the beach where Austin was seated in a white t-shirt and blue shorts. He sent a warm smile my way as I slowly approached him.

“You look good.” I heard him say as I took my s

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Her weakness

    “Remember to always stay where you are needed and valued.” ….~ Alyssa ~The mini trees in the park called out to me, and I couldn’t help bringing out my paint set and gently arranging them in preparation for a quick painting session. I grabbed my notepad and opened it, after which I brought some duct tape and designed the edges. Just before I could enter a flow state. I looked over at the swing where Keren and some of her new friends were playing. Our eyes met, and she waved at me happily. I waved back before bringing back my eyes to the work at hand. It’s time to paint, and I have to do just that.I had just finished sketching out the tree… when a voice I knew so well… interrupted me. “Alyssa.” I didn’t respond and opted to continue with my painting… But it rang again. “I know you can hear me.” Finally, I looked up… and almost gasped at the sight of him. He looked so rough and beardy, like a homeless man. I’d never seen Mark look so unkempt. “What do you want?” I say, avoid

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Please stay...

    “Maybe soulmates are not the only thing that’s real. Maybe there are moments that are destined to be magical too.”….~ Alyssa ~“You guys had lived together for two months, and he didn’t hit on you?” I chuckled, watching the surprised look on Nana’s face. We’d been chatting for over an hour now, and I must say… I was starting to see her in a different light. When Austin had told me about his grandmother, I’d kind of been expecting someone strict and mean to strangers. But never would I have expected her to be so warm and loving. “Sounds like my grandson!” I couldn’t deny her words. And it made me wonder if I would have ended up getting married to Callum if Peter hadn’t intervened. “Does this have anything to do with him being a lawyer and all?”“Nah… he is his father’s son. And they both have strict morals and principles ingrained in their DNA.”“Oh…”“I am happy he made the right choice though.” Her gaze was filled with warmth. “Do you sometimes wish you had a mother figure?”I

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   His Nana

    “If you treat every day like a miracle, then you won’t ever feel the urge to see it any less sacred than it actually is.”….~ Alyssa ~I’d probably gotten so used to the grandeur of Austin’s home that I had forgotten to wonder how his grandparents would be. As we stood in front of the English cottage house. I couldn’t help but marvel at how much history was embedded in the stonewalls.The frontal was decorated by a carefully tended garden of flowers and shrubs… which added beauty and elegance to the space. “I love it here, Mom!” Keren grinned widely, looking around. Austin had mentioned that she’d only been here twice, when she was months old and two years old.“I do, too.” I replied as the door opened and an eighty-something-year-old woman came into view. Though I must say, she looks ten years younger, and if Austin hadn’t given me a head start. I would have denied that she was a day older than seventy.“Hello, Nana!” Austin was the first to break the silence, and I watched as the

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Long-lost daughter

    “Don’t stop believing in yourself.”….~ Austin ~The air around the office felt different, warmer and definitely more accommodating; I can’t tell if it was just my mood or the environment. All I knew was that. It was different.“You are back, Boss.” Jordan greeted me with a smile. “I am.” He followed me into my office, and I took a seat on my chair, which was as clean as I left it weeks ago. I hadn’t planned on staying away from work for that long, but well… life happened.“Do I have any tasks pending?” I asked, turning on my desktop. “Yes, Sir…”“I’m listening.”“You’ve got a meeting with Daniel Tobias.” My colleague who would be helping me with Sharon’s case. “You’ve got a meeting with Winter Park.” The interior designer I had set my eyes on for Alyssa’s studio. Though she hadn’t said anything about owning a studio and all. It was obvious she needed one. Like all artists, they dreamt of having their own personal space. Where they can simply spend hours engulfing themselves in th

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Only for you, love.

    “I wish you knew just how much untapped potential you’ve got embedded in you.”….~ Alyssa ~“Will I make friends, Mom?” was the first question Keren asked me as soon as our car stopped in the car park of her new school. She’d been quiet all through the twenty-minute-long ride, so I had even started to worry… until she finally spoke when we arrived.“Of course, Honeypie. You’d make lots of friends.” I cupped her face and pecked her cheeks. “No bullies, right, Mom?” My heart ached at her words. She was obviously traumatized by her previous school. Thankfully, the child therapist we’d visited assured us that it would be fine. And she simply needed to experience being loved and accepted in her new school.“You won’t be bullied, love.” As much as I couldn’t protect her from everything. I can at least assure her… that she’d be fine. “Okay… can we go in now?” My eyes met with that of Austin, who was in the driver’s seat. He nodded, tapping on a button that opened the side door automatical

  • The Billionaire’s Nanny   Second chance mate

    “I hope you are taking good care of your human.” ….~ Austin ~I had just taken a seat in my study room when I received a message from Jordan, which caused me to laugh out loud.“When will you be back at work, Boss? I miss you!” Though we’d known each other for years. Jordan hadn’t really told me he missed me or anything like that. So this was definitely a first, which caught me off guard. “I thought my presence intimidated you?” I sent it back. Intentionally teasing him. “No, Boss. When will you be back?”“On Monday.” “Good, good. I can’t wait to have you back.”“Do I have any case waiting for my review?”“Yes. I will send it to you now.” “Okay.” I placed my phone on do not disturb before placing it on the phone stand and turning on my laptop and inputting my password. I hadn’t been working a lot due to the many changes that were going on at the same time. Joseph had suggested I donate his sister’s things, which I had done. I have also begun keeping her pictures and frames in a
