Guilt.
That was exactly how he felt as he watched them rush her off to the emergency ward. He had been struggling with a boner while she had fallen to her death.
"Dante, it's not your fault besides she's going to be alright."
He nodded holding back the tears that were threatening to spill. Natalie held his eyes for a moment and her gaze weakened him.
He looked away. He shouldn't have let her come with him but he couldn't afford to leave her alone in that house where Sophie had fallen—or she was pushed. He couldn't tell.
He could only tell that her phone hadn't been broken and she was supposed to be holding the phone when she fell, right?
He massaged his throbbing temples and glanced at his daughter sleeping soundly in Natalie's arms. He needed to get them home safely but he also needed to stay here with Sophie.
"Yo, Dante."
He looked up and saw Xavi

Dante was on the verge of going crazy as he dialed his grandfather's number. The first time Alaric decided not to pick up his calls was when Dante needed him most."Daddy, where are they taking Natalie to?"He had been asked this question for the tenth time tonight and he didn't have a clue as to what was happening."I don't know honey, but I'll bring her back," he replied.Chloe was already in tears and he was having a hard time pacifying her. What he couldn't understand was why Lee hadn't come out when all this fiasco was going on.He headed to the butler's room and found him handcuffed to his bedpost. His mouth was gagged and his ankles were tied securely too.Gently, he untied the old man and helped him out of the handcuffs—the keys were left on his nightstand."Dante, you guys are safe," he heaved a sigh of relief."It's alright, Lee. You're ju

Dante.Chloe.Noah.Lexi.It all came back to Dante.Why couldn't she spend a single second in this goddamn place without her thoughts drifting back to him, Natalie wondered.She was supposed to be thinking about Chloe or her brother or even how to get out of here but all she could think about was their day at the beach.That was what made her smile like a crazy person. Since when did she think of someone and smile foolishly, she had no idea.She was still in that damp place with the water drizzling on her and her eyes blindfolded, her mouth gagged.At this rate, she might lose her ability to speak if the gag isn't taken off anytime soon.She listened intently but heard no noise. They probably thought she wouldn't cause any trouble and handy bothered to place enough guards outside her door.Ha! She

Natalie woke up with a start as she looked around her surroundings. Her gaze landed on Dante and she sighed in relief. She must have fallen asleep in the car, she mused.She took a look at the back seat and saw the kids were all asleep. Smiling happily, she glanced at the rear-view mirror."Aren't we home yet?"He squeezed her hand lightly. "Not yet, my love."Her heart swells with pride. He had called her his love, she mused happily. Her heart was over the moon and the feelings she got felt strange and nice at the same time.Nodding her head, she drifted off to her thoughts. Her biggest worry was how to tell Dante who she truly was and how he would react when he finds out.Dante took a quick look at her and smiled. He noticed she was biting her lips and thinking about something. This little action of hers turned him on.He wanted to rip
The Nanny Affair Thirty
Dante opened her eyes and smiled. He caressed the woman lying beside him and saw the smile playing on her lips.She was still asleep he could tell but he also knew that she was happy and fulfilled.Last night had been one hell of a crazy ride with the way she had come straight for him dressed in that nightie that almost drove him crazy.He had promised himself not to touch her till they went on a proper date but last night he hadn't been able to restrain himself, he had only stopped when he realized she was a virgin.His surprise at that revelation had cooled his raging hormones and she had been shy at first even sad when he said he was not touching her, when he had explained his reasons she had agreed grudgingly.
The Nanny Affair Thirty-One
Dante heaved a sigh of relief when his grandfather finally left his office leaving him alone with Xavier."That was intense," Xavier commented."Tell me about it," Dante sighed his shoulders slumping while his eyelids threatened to close. He was exhausted mentally, emotionally, and physically."You've got enough balls standing up to him like that," Xavier mused.Dante chuckled. "Love makes us feel and do things we never normally would have done."Xavier chuckled nodding his head in understanding. "I know what you mean."Dante arched his brow at him. "Don't talk like you know what I mean, Xavier. You're a crazy player."Xavier chuckled heartily. "It's true but I've still got a heart.""I'm yet to see it," Dante shrugged.Giving him a small nod, Xavier stood up ready to leave. "I wish you success, dude I can only imagine how she will

"Yes."Dante blinked as he stared at Natalie, his eyes widened slightly."Natalie, I said I have something to tell you."She frowned. "Something more important than my answer?"He suddenly realized what she meant. "No, my love.""Then my answer is yes," she smiled at him.He slipped the ring into her finger as she admired it, tears glistening in his eyes. This was not how he had planned this night.He had wanted to tell her the truth about everything, apologize to her, get her forgiveness before allowing her to wear his ring but she had insisted.
The Nanny Affair Thirty-Three
Leo had a task to finish but he couldn't complete it. He was supposed to make sure that Dante had confessed the truth to Natalie but he hadn't been able to do so.The joy he had seen on her face was enough to cripple a man and make him swallow any bad news. He didn't blame Dante either for not telling her.He could only hope they get to be happy before everything falls apart because it would.A knock at his door snapped him out of his thoughts and he frowned. It was only one person who visited him aside from Dante and Lee.Swinging the door open he saw Natalie standing on his porch."You again?!" He growled.She chuckled. "I wish I had

"Earth to Natalie!"Natalie winced slightly at the sound of Lexi's voice in her ears."You wanna make me deaf, right?" She glared at her friend.Lexi shrugged. "I've been asking you some questions but you weren't listening. Where is your mind?"Natalie sighed. She was in her best friend's house because she couldn't stand being alone with her mind reeling about trying to figure out what Dante was hiding from her.She had overheard his conversation with Leo last night. She hadn't even known that he was so close to Leo. It was clear they were hiding something from her.Then there was also Xavier. She had a weird feeling that he was up to
