It was barely 8 a.m., and Elena already had a headache.

Something about the silence in the house felt… suspicious.

She moved cautiously through the hallway, her instincts screaming that Nathaniel was up to something. Again.

Just as she stepped into the back patio..

There was a splash

A bucket tilted above the doorway tipped over, and a cascade of freezing water and ice cubes came crashing down on her.

"AHHH!" Elena screamed, gasping as the cold soaked through her clothes instantly.

From somewhere nearby, a high-pitched, absolutely delighted laugh echoed out.

Nathaniel stood a few feet away, doubled over in laughter, his small hands gripping his stomach. “This,” he said through his giggles, “is to freeze your lips from talking too much! Maybe now you’ll finally be quiet for five minutes!”

Shivering, drenched, and stunned, Elena stared at him, her mouth agape.

“Oh, you think you’re clever?” she muttered, then narrowed her eyes. “How about I freeze you, too, since you’re such a loudmout

  • The Nanny Affair   Chapter 17 : Mourning and Moaning

    Ohhhh, I’m coming with you guys,” Vivienne muttered hastily as she strode across the marble floor in her heels.Both Mr. Hughston and Nathaniel paused mid-step, turning in surprise.Vivienne appeared a moment later, dressed in an elegant all-black dress that accentuated her curves, paired with a matching hat... the kind worn by women who knew how to command a room, even in mourning. She let out a nervous chuckle as she adjusted the sides of her fitted dress with slightly trembling hands.“I just felt… I needed to go say hi at the grave, too,” Vivienne added softly, her eyes lingering on both men. Then, with a faint smile and a tilt of her head, she added with intentional sweetness,“Since I’ll soon be Mrs. Hughston, it only feels right.”A heavy silence followed her words.But just then, the doorbell's DING DONG sliced through the room...“Oh!” she gasped, clutching her chest with theatrical flair. “That must be the flowers for the grave!”Without waiting for a response, she spun arou

  • The Nanny Affair   Chapter 16 : Ohhh, noo00.. my bra...

    Evening had already settled in.Dinner was being served as Elena busied herself setting the table when Mr. Hughston walked in. He’d been out all day for work, and his presence immediately filled the room.Their eyes met.Without a word, he crossed over to her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. His gaze held a lingering apology for what had happened this morning.“It wasn’t what you think,” he said quietly.“Oh, no qualms,” Elena replied, keeping her focus on arranging the cutlery as she tried to appear unaffected.But he wasn’t convinced. He reached for her waist and pulled her gently but firmly toward him.“Are you sure?” he murmured, his lips brushing just beneath her ear as he placed a gentle kiss there.Elena's breath caught as he tightened his hold from behind. She leaned back into him, her resolve weakening until footsteps echoed nearby.Startled, Elena pulled away so quickly that it was as if nothing had happened.Mr. Hughston, you're home,” Vivienne purred, her voice thi

  • The Nanny Affair   Chapter 15 : Plotting

    The morning light poured into the grand hallway as Vivienne stood by the staircase, peeking subtly toward the dining area. Her footsteps tapped out a steady beat as she paced, a little too dramatically...She paused, made sure no one was looking directly then let out a sudden cry."Ahh!" she gasped, stumbling and landing on the floor with a thud.The noise echoed just enough.Within seconds, Damien appeared from the hallway, his brows furrowed in alarm."Vivienne?" he called, rushing toward her.She clutched her ankle and winced."Please... I think I twisted it. I’m in so much pain," she said, her voice trembling softly...Without thinking twice, Damien crouched down beside her."Can you stand?" he asked.Vivienne shook her head quickly, her eyes watering just a little in a perfectly timed."Alright, hold on," he said as he slid his arms under her and lifted her off the ground with ease.Just as he turned toward the hallway with her in his arms... Elena stepped out of the kitchen.She

  • The Nanny Affair   Chapter 14 : New Wife

    The morning felt a little more relaxed as Elena moved around the kitchen, putting breakfast together.She barely noticed him until his arms slid around her waist from behind, pulling her gently into his warmth.“What are you making, Chef Elena?” he asked, already pressing soft kisses along her neck.“Well, something light… for Mr. Hughston,” she teased, turning to face him.“Do I eat before I eat… or eat before I eat?” he said as he looked down at her.Elena burst out laughing, swatting his chest. “That was so corny!”“I don’t know about that,” he grinned, and before she could respond, he lifted her onto the counter.“Maybe this will give you a clearer idea,” he whispered, leaning in and kissing her, slow and deep.....There was a soft mechanical hiss and before Damien could turn his head, the door slid open.Elena quickly dropped down from the counter, adjusting her robe and brushing her hair back so as not to cause any alarm.Damien glanced at her briefly, then straightened up and

  • The Nanny Affair   Chapter 13 : Finding her & Steamiliazation

    Damien had been driving around the town aimlessly, exhaustion crawling over his skin like a second layer. He’d been searching for hours, nearly ready to give up, when something or rather, someone caught his eye. A lone figure walking slowly through the park path, head lowered, hands stuffed in her coat pockets. His heart slammed hard in his chest. “Elena,” he whispered, barely believing it. He pulled the car to a sharp stop and jumped out, running toward her without thinking. She lifted her head, startled by the sound of fast footsteps. Her eyes widened. Before she could utter a single word, Damien reached her and without hesitation, yanked her into his arms. His hold was desperate, full of emotion, like someone clinging to a lifeline. Elena’s breath caught. Her arms stayed at her sides, confused, unsure until his grip tightened even more. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, still holding her. “I’m so sorry.” His arms wrapped around her even tighter, like he was afraid she’d

  • The Nanny Affair    Chapter 12 : She’s the same mask Girl

    “Miss Elena!” Nathaniel called out with a laugh, stepping out from his hiding spot. He looked around, expecting to see her nearby. But there was no sign of her.“Dad!!” he shouted instead, spotting Mr. Hughston standing stiffly near the large window.Mr. Hughston’s stormy expression softened the moment he heard his son's voice. He turned around.“Hello, kiddo,” he said, trying to sound normal.Nathaniel frowned a little. “Where’s Miss Elena?”Mr. Hughston didn’t respond as he stared ahead instead.“Dad?” Nathaniel called again, louder this time.“She’s fired,” Mr. Hughston said flatly.“Huh?” Nathaniel blinked in confusion.“There will be a new nanny starting tomorrow,” he added, already moving toward the stairs.“But Dad… I like her,” Nathaniel said, his voice quiet, almost hurt.Before Mr. Hughson could reply, his phone buzzed.“Hello?” he answered curtly.“Mr. Hughston”, came Mr. Thomas’s voice from the other end, calm but urgent. “We found something... You’ll want to see this.”Mr
