The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 83: Alessandro
I couldn't stop smiling.The entire drive home, I felt like a teenager who'd just had his first kiss.Which, in a way, I had.My first kiss in months.And it had been with Victoria.Perfect, beautiful, complicated Victoria who'd finally let me in.Who'd looked at me like I was worth taking a risk for.Who'd kissed me back like she'd been waiting for it as long as I had.The taste of her was still on my lips.The memory of her soft skin under my hands.The way she'd melted against me like she belonged there.Like we'd found our way back to something we'd lost.I pulled into my driveway and sat for a moment.Just breathing.Just letting the reality of what had happened tonight sink in.Victoria knew about Aria now but she still doesn’t remember her.And she'd still said yes to seeing me again.Still kissed me like she meant it.Still looked at me like she wanted more.The house was quiet when I walked in.Mrs. Ciro must be in the kitchen.But before I could even set my keys down, I hear
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 82: Victoria
Six-fifteen couldn't come fast enough.And also couldn't come slow enough.I'd changed my outfit three times before settling on a simple black dress.Professional but not too formal.Pretty but not trying too hard.At least, that's what I hoped.My hands shook as I touched up my lipstick for the fourth time.I still couldn't believe I'd said yes.Couldn't believe that a simple "ok" had led to this moment.I was standing in front of my gallery mirror, wondering if I was making the biggest mistake of my life.Or the best decision.The gallery felt too quiet as I waited.Every minute stretches like an hour.What if he changed his mind?What if My's coldness had finally convinced him I wasn't worth the effort?What if,The soft chime of the door interrupted my spiraling thoughts.Alessandro stepped inside, and my breath caught.He looked incredible.Dark suit that fit him perfectly.Hair slightly tousled like he'd run his fingers through it.And in his hands, another bouquet.These were d

Aria had fought bedtime tonight.More than usual.She'd wanted another story, another song, another glass of water.Anything to keep me in her room a little longer."Papà tired?" she'd asked when I'd finally settled her."A little, tesoro.""Sad tired or happy tired?"Jesus, when had my two-year-old become so perceptive?"Just tired tired."She'd accepted that answer with a sleepy nod, but I could tell she wasn't completely convinced.Kids had a way of sensing when something was different.When the adults in their world were carrying more weight than usual.I kissed her forehead and whispered good night.Waited until her breathing evened out before leaving her room.Mrs. Ciro had already gone to bed.The house felt too quiet.Too empty.The perfect environment for overthinking every moment of this morning.Every second of Victoria's cold dismissal.Every reason why I should probably give up and move on.Find someone who actually wanted to be found.Instead of chasing a woman who seeme
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 80: Victoria
The moment Alessandro walked out, I felt like I couldn't breathe.The look on his face before he turned away.Hurt.Confusion.Something that looked dangerously like resignation.I'd done that.Put that expression there with my deliberate coldness.My pathetic attempt to protect myself by pretending he was invisible."Shit," I whispered to the empty gallery.Ace had left twenty minutes ago, still talking about his latest acquisition like it was the find of the century.Still oblivious to the fact that I'd barely heard a word he'd said.My entire focus had been on the man by the door.On Alessandro's dark eyes finding mine across the room.On the flowers in his hands and the way he'd stood there waiting.Hoping.While I acted like a complete coward.I walked to the shelf where he'd left the tulips.Purple.Beautiful.The kind of flowers that meant something.Not the casual gesture of a man trying to get lucky.But something deeper.More intentional.I lifted them carefully, breathing i
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 79: Alessandro
The morning started with purpose.I'd made my decision during the long hours after Aria fell asleep.No more waiting.No more second-guessing myself.Victoria Romano was going to see me every day until she stopped pretending she remembered what we had.Until she stopped running from whatever was keeping us apart.Persistence had served me well in business.It would serve me well here too.The flower shop on Fifth Street was opening when I arrived."Back again?" the elderly owner asked with a knowing smile."Different flowers today."Yesterday's white roses had been safe.Polite.Today called for something bolder."The lady doesn't like roses?""The lady is complicated."He chuckled, leading me toward the back of the shop."Aren't they all?"I studied the displays, looking for something that would make Victoria stop and really see me.Not the stranger she thinks I was.But the man who'd held her in his arms.Who'd kissed her until she forgot her own name.Who'd made promises neither of
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 78: Alessandro
The drive home felt different this time.Not the crushing weight of defeat I'd expected after Victoria's rejection.Something else entirely.Determination, maybe.Or the quiet certainty that this wasn't over.I'd seen something in her eyes today.Behind the polite refusal and careful distance.A flicker of recognition.Of want.She might not remember me.Could act like I was just another customer who'd overstepped boundaries.But I'd caught that moment when her breath hitched.When color flooded her cheeks at my words.When her fingers lingered against mine as she took the roses.That wasn't indifference.That was a woman fighting herself.And I intended to find out why.The ice cream shop was busy, with families ending their day with something sweet.I ordered Aria's favorite, strawberry with rainbow sprinkles.The same thing she'd been asking for since she was old enough to point at the freezer case.My daughter was nothing if not consistent in her preferences.Unlike the woman who'
