All Chapters of The Alpha's Ex-Con Human Nanny : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Mercedes POV Penelope and Carter are sweet little darlings. It’s been a week and some days of working as the kids' nanny, and I must say everyday has been very fulfilling.They’re times when I wondered if they were some grandparents stuck in a kid's body, due to their level of thoughtfulness. And how they pay attention to details. But when they ask silly questions like ‘How old was I’ and after telling them I'm 27, Carter asked me how was life during WWII. And then out of nowhere Penelope jumps in asking if the world was in black and white before they invented color TV–and that right there always snapped me back to reality that I was dealing with kids.But regardless, it was fun. If not for the fact that I needed the cash to keep me afloat, I wouldn’t mind being their nanny for free–but a girl got bills to pay.Today was Sunday. My second Sunday in the house actually, and also my day off, which means, my new check-in day with Mrs. Jenkins.Thankfully. She had been understanding about

Nicole’s POVI was just about to crawl into bed when the doorbell rang.What the hell…?Adam was out of town for a few days, and no one ever showed up unannounced this late unless it was an emergency or a neighbour complaining about my music being too loud.But I wasn’t playing any music tonight.So who the fuck was at my door.With an exasperated sigh, I pulled on my robe, and walked over to the door, ready to breath down fire and brimstone on whoever was about to disturb my sleep.Peeking through the peephole, I saw Mercedes.Not the usual put together Mercedes, a complete wreck Mercedes.Her eyes were red and puffy. And she had tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.What the hell? Something is wrong. Without a second thought, I swung the door open.“Mercedes what happened?”The moment the words left my lips, she broke down in tears.“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked softly, wrapping my arms around her.She gripped me tightly, and sobbed into my shoulder harder.We stayed like t

Bradley’s POVIt’s been two brutal weeks. Never in my life did I imagine lying this much, especially not to the two most important people in the world to me.A day didn’t go by since I fired Mercedes that the kids didn’t ask about her. I avoided their questions as much as I could, coming up with several ways to distract them, but it wasn’t enough, as they could tell I was hiding something, that alone fueled their resolve, so I gave in.Three days ago, after picking the kids up from school, Penelope asked me when Mercedes was coming back, why wasn’t she calling them, or if she was angry with them. I couldn’t bear to see them think it was their fault she left, so I gave them the safest lie I could make up.“She travelled,” I told them both, as I knew Carter was listening even though he was quiet. “I don’t know when she'll be back.”Both their faces fell instantly, and it broke my heart to shreds. I couldn’t tell them that she was a liar, they have so much faith in her in the short time

Mercedes POVA man walked in in a doctor's uniform.“You must be Mercedes,” he said cheerfully as his eyes landed on me. “Good to see someone finally came to their senses,” he eyed Mr. Ford who was still leaning against the wall. “Hello,” I muttered, not wanting to come off as rude, even though everything is coming off as awkward.Only God knows what they've discussed about me, because the doctor sounded like they've been expecting me for a long time.“You must be Carter's doctor,” I said. “Is he going to be fine?”“He sure is,” the doctor smiled, as he walked over to where I was by Carter. “Forgive my manners, I'm Ross,” he stretched his hand for a handshake.“Mercedes,” I said, even though he's already aware. “Nice to meet you,” I shook his head politely.Ahem. Mr. Ford cleared his throat, pushing himself off the wall."If you would excuse us doctor? I would like to talk to my son's nanny," he announced."Ex-nanny," I corrected him when the doctor had left and he stared at me with

Mercedes POV The kids squealed as Ethan caught them in his arms and twirled them around.“Daddy didn't tell us you were coming,” Penelope said when he finally let her down.“That was because daddy didn't know, it was meant to be a surprise." Ethan informed the children.“Did you bring us any presents?” Carter inquired.“Hmmm,” Ethan hummed, running a hand through his beards as if lost in thought.“Well that depends, have you been good?” Ethan teased.“We've been good, we haven't caused any trouble at all. You can ask Miss Mercedes,” Penelope replied as she pointed at me and Ethan's amused gaze turned to me.“Ahh yes, our dear Miss Mercedes.” He muttered and I chuckled. “Why are you kids troubling her?” Ethan asked as he turned back to the children.“We aren't, we were playing a game.” Penelope defended and Carter nodded in agreement “In that case your gifts are already in your rooms, waiting for you.” Ethan announced and the children squealed and ran past us without another word.Et
