Semua Bab A CURVY NANNY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Springtime in Paris… Love was really in the air. The hearing for custody, the rough months Blake had in the office, following some friction with a couple of business partners… all of it was already a bad memory. It was all in the past. The peace was once again part of their household. From the balcony of the hotel room, Nicola watched as the sun was setting. The Eiffel Tower stood out against the orange-golden hue of the sky. As she stood at the railing, Nicola thought back over the past two weeks of their way too short family vacation. The memory of their first day in Paris made her smile. It rained… the entire day. Instead of staying inside, Blake bought three umbrellas and they spent the day sightseeing. He even allowed Iris to hop in every puddle of water. Her husband was the happiest she’d ever seen him in months. The rest of the days were spent visiting various museums, especially those where children Iris’

Once breakfast was over, Blake kissed Nicola and Iris goodbye and left for the office. Traffic was bumper to bumper. By the time he pulled into his parking space, Blake was ten minutes late, something quite unusual for him, and well on his way toward a splitting headache. Killing the engine, he grabbed his briefcase and got out of the car. He shut the door and made his way toward the entrance. When he entered the building, the security guard who was stationed near the doors nodded his head in greeting.“Good morning, Paul,” Blake said to him. “How is your wife doing? The last check-up went well?” The security guard smiled.“Good morning, sir. Yes, she is doing perfectly well now. There will be another check-up in about six months.”“Oh, good! I’m glad to hear such good news! Please, let me know if you need my help in any way,” Blake said.“I will, Mr. Echols. Have a great day, sir!”“You too, Paul!” Blake stepped out of the elevator a few moment

The next morning, while everybody was having breakfast, Nicola moved the fishbowl from her and Blake's room to Iris's room. She placed it carefully on the bedside table, next to the lamp, and stepped back to look at it. Imagining Iris's eyes lighting up at the sight of it brought a smile to her face. She just knew the little girl would absolutely love the gift. Nicola sighed satisfied, then picked a stuffed toy up off the floor, put it on the bed, and left the room. Nicola went downstairs to join the others for breakfast. As she entered the kitchen, she noticed Albert was not sitting at the table with everybody else.“Where is our chef?”“He had to go to the store to pick up a few things for the cookout,” Blake answered. “Sit down and have some breakfast,” he added then got up and pulled a chair for her.“Thank you so much, love,” she said smiling sweetly at him. Alma fixed Nicola a plate and poured her a cup of coffee, then sat at the table. Nic

Three days later, Nicola had just put Iris to bed and was on her way downstairs to the living room, when she heard the doorbell. Wondering who it was and what he or she wanted, she hurried down the stairs and reached the large foyer at the same time as Bruce. She told him that she would answer the door.“Then I will return to my chess game,” Bruce said.“Who's winning?” Nicola inquired.“Albert… of course…”“Sorry about that.” She unlocked the door and opened it. Daphne stood there with tears in her eyes.“Sweetie… What… What's wrong?”“He lied to me, Nik,” Daphne croaked. “That son of a bitch lied to me.” Nicola reached for Daphne's arm.“Come inside and talk to me.”“You think you know a person and then something happens and you realize you didn't know them at all.” Daphne dug a tissue out of her purse and dabbed at her eyes. Nicola closed the door.“Come, Daph… Let's go sit down.” She led the way to the living room where they sat on

Blake was sitting at his desk when he felt he was being watched. He glanced up from the computer screen to find Nicola standing in the doorway. His eyes swept over her and a mixture of love and desire came over him. He locked eyes with her and his heart skipped a beat. Breaking into a smile, Blake held his hand to her and she crossed the room, placing her hand in his.“How long have you been standing there?” he asked.“Not long,” Nicola answered. He pushed back his chair and pulled Nicola onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed a kiss to her jaw.“What is our baby doing?”“She's helping Albert load the dishwasher,” she replied. “What were you doing on the computer?” Blake nuzzled her ear and heard her sharp intake of breath.“I did some research online and found a security agency in the area. I called and they are sending a man over for me to meet with. He should be here any minute now…” Nicola frowned.“That was fast...”
