All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Nanny: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Detachment takes time. So don’t beat yourself up if it’s taking you longer to let go of things and people that no longer matter.”….~ Alyssa ~I covered the rest of the journey home by foot as Peter’s words played and replayed in my head. We were siblings? But how? He was partly Asian, while I was fully American, right? Or am I not? But then we look so much different from each other, except… wait. His eyes! Our eyes! How could I have missed that? But that wasn’t enough to prove that we were related. Or was it? Gosh! This is super overwhelming!I had just stepped into the house when I came face to face with the ever angry Sharon. “Why are you still here?” She growled, and I wondered if she was maybe a member of the mythological werewolves.“I have not left,” I replied, crossing my arms across my chest. I had no reason to fear her and nor would I. “Why?”“Isn’t it obvious? Mr Hook hasn’t relieved me of my Job yet.”“That’s because he is not around. But he has made arrangements al

“When you wake up, is your morning, and when you head to bed, is your night.”….~ Alyssa ~Hours roll into days, and days into weeks and before I know it. A month has passed since Austin’s accident. A month! Like a full month! By now, everyone else has settled back into routine, and I was craving to find meaning in all of this. This wasn’t part of my plan. I hated feeling so lost and directionless and I sought clarity. But who would I talk to? Exactly who?Usually, when the world feels so heavy, I talk it out with Peter. But now, not only can I not reach out to him. I also have to avoid the cafe, which was my happy place. Gosh, this sucks. During the past month, I’ve gone to the hospital four times, once a week with Keren. Yet, it seemed like there was no improvement. The doctors said he was in a coma and he’ll wake up when he is ready, but when? I’d read a couple of books where the characters fell into a coma. But none of them took so long to come out. It mostly took them a w

“Learning to love yourself isn’t a luxury, but a necessity you need to survive.”….~ Austin ~It felt like I had been walking through a thick, dark forest for years, until I finally came across a clearing that led to the light I had been searching for all along. The same one, I assumed, was lost and never to be found again.My eyes fluttered open, and the white walls were what I first noticed as the feeling of light-headedness overshadowed me. Where am I? I thought, as memories slowly began to spring forth. The florist shop, yes… I remembered getting flowers for Keren after getting her favorite chocolate. I planned to surprise her.Just that it didn’t happen… I shut my eyes, as the reminder of what happened flashed through me. Who would plot my assassination? I wondered, trying to figure out if I had hurt anyone recently. Though it was pointless, since as a lawyer. I hurt people a whole lot. Not like I can control that anyways. It happens, and that’s it. But who? I remained the

“I am now fully convinced that our truest message lies in the depths of our deepest aches and darkest scars.”….~ Austin ~It’s been seven days since Miss Stewart walked out the door of my house, yet things have not been the same ever since. Though Keren had opened the door hours after she’d left and allowed herself to be comforted by Lydia. She’d become awfully quiet. In a way that unsettles me. Previously, when she couldn’t speak. She never ceased to communicate her thoughts and emotions through her expression and gestures. But now it is completely different. I was kneeling by her bedside, as I have been doing for the past seven days. “Princess…. Speak to Daddyyy.” I whispered gently, hoping, praying she’ll say something. Her eyes were wide open, but as always… she pretended not to hear me, like my presence didn’t matter. “I miss hearing your voice, Honeypie.” I held her palms, imitating Miss Stewart, attempting to reach her through that… but I hadn’t expected it to work.

“There isn’t enough time in life for you to keep second guessing yourself. Grab the bull by the horns and face your fears.”….~ Alyssa ~I used to think time would slow down when I was alone and had nothing to do except stare at the vast garden and be in my thoughts all day. But how wrong I was. The door opened later, what I assumed to be twenty-four hours later, and in came the man, strolling in like a king waiting to hear the final verdict.Well, he would indeed become the king if the marriage alliance were made. “So?” His voice brought chills down my spine, and even if I hadn’t made the decision yet. The chill alone was enough for me to. “I agree,” I replied, but what I hadn’t expected was the look of surprise that would carve his features. “You do?” “Yes, I do.” “Okay then.” He lifted himself and stood upright. “You made the right decision.”I didn’t respond. If agreeing to a marriage alliance with Callum Turner, a well-known playboy, was a good decision, then I wouldn’t
