LOGINClaire Williams has spent the last six years taking care of her younger brother, Daniel, after losing their parents in an accident. She had to leave school and start working to keep them going, but life has never been easy. She struggles to pay their bills and keep a roof over their heads. Things get worse when Claire is accused of stealing money from a client's house and loses her job. With an eviction notice giving her only seventy-two hours to pay her rent, she desperately starts looking for work. That search leads her to a live-in nanny position at the Vaughn Mansion. Ethan Vaughn is a wealthy businessman and a single father to ten-year-old twins, Liam and Lily. The children have already gone through several nannies and have no interest in allowing Claire to become another permanent person in their lives. They do everything they can to make her leave, but Claire refuses to give up because she needs the job. As Claire spends more time with the twins, things slowly begin to change. Liam and Lily start trusting her, and Claire becomes someone they can depend on. Ethan notices the difference and, before long, he starts noticing Claire in a way he never expected. Their relationship slowly changes from employer and employee into something neither of them planned for. But just when Claire begins to feel like she has finally found a place where she belongs, Camille Laurent, the twins' mother and Ethan's former fiancée, returns. Camille wants her family back, and she sees Claire as the biggest obstacle standing in her way. With jealousy, lies and old wounds threatening everything they have built, Claire must find out whether Ethan will choose her and the children—or whether falling for him will only leave her with another broken heart.
View MoreI stared at the house in front of me and then back at the address printed at the back of the card I was given yesterday. There were tall, black gates that could very well be the same height as my apartment building, a perfectly trimmed lawn lay behind the gates and the house has more windows than I could count. The house looked magnificent from the outside, leaving me wondering what the inside would look like. Looking down at my choice of outfit, a simple cream blouse and a pair of trousers, with a pair of flat shoes on my feet. I run my hands through my clothes, trying to straighten them out. I look at the gates again, taking a deep breath before heading in. Just before I could knock, a woman opens the door. “Claire, right?” “Yes, ma'am.” “Oh, I'm no ma'am. I'm Margaret, the house manager,” she says, offering a warm smile. That somehow reduces the tension in my mind. “Mr. Vaughn is in his office and is waiting for you. This way please.” I follow her as she leads me through the
By the time I got home, I had already made up my mind on what I wanted to do. Stepping into my living room, I find Margaret, my childhood nana, who currently served as my house manager waiting for me. “Good evening, Mr Vaughn.” No matter how much I had told her to call me by my name, she always insisted on referring to me as Mr Vaughn. “Good evening to you too, Margaret. Where is she?” She didn't need me to further explain who I was referring to. “She left already, sir.” Good, at least I didn't have to go through the stress of firing her myself. “Where are the kids and how's Liam's leg?”I ask, making my way towards my in-house office. “They had dinner and are already in bed. Lily insisted on waiting for you to get back, but she eventually fell asleep and Liam is doing okay. Dr. Cole was here earlier on to take a look at him.” “Thank you, Margaret and I'm sorry for the stress of today.” “Nonsense, there's no need for you to apologize. Those children are like my grandk
"I'm sorry, but you don't have the qualifications we're searching for currently, ma'am.” I don't bother waiting for her to say anything else before grabbing my file and heading to the door. This was the fifth rejection of the day and I had already willed myself to be numb each time I was rejected. I looked at the file in my hand and counted the number of C.V’s I had left. Three. I had three more copies before I'd have to print more copies and I couldn't afford that right now. I stepped outside into the afternoon heat, checking my phone for time. It was 3:26p.m already and my next appointment was scheduled for 4p.m. I had barely turned the corner leading to the courthouse when I bumped into someone or something, I wasn't sure, my file slipping from my hands. “Oh, I'm sorry.” The papers that were in my file filled the pavement. I looked up and saw a little girl, staring at me and at the papers with wide eyes. She looked frightened. Crouching in front of me, she finally spoke. “I did
The elevator doors at Reynolds Financial opened up, leaving me frozen at the sight before me. This place looked nothing like the offices I was used to cleaning. Everything shined. The floor looked so spotless, causing me to feel both scared and guilty for pushing my cleaning cart across it. People walked past me in expensive suits and dresses, talking into expensive-looking phones as if they didn't have a single problem in the world. I looked down at my faded blue k could probably cover the cost of my rent. The watch of the man who was walking ahead of me could probably buy out my whole apartment. “Don't just stand there, Claire.” I blinked and looked up. Mia was already a few steps ahead of me , smiling at me. “You look like you've never seen rich people before.” “I've seen them,” I said pushing my cart forward, “I've just never been this close to so many of them.”Mia laughs at where she was walking besides me. “Just try not to stare, they hate that.” “I wasn't staring.” “Yes,
