Chapter 31Martin's PovTwo days had passed since my meeting with Cole. I had spent every hour, minutes and seconds watching the Rodrigo mansion.I wasn’t reckless this time, just patient, waiting for the right moment to make my presence known. With calculative precision I watched when and what time they moved out and came into the mansion.Cole said summer was ending and school would start soon. That meant shopping, uniforms, and the routines wealthy families never missed.During my days as a kid, my mum had taken me to those same stores to buy things I hardly used. Those small, neat memories stuck with me and made the long hours in my car feel like they had a purpose.If Adrian left the mansion, it would probably be for something like this.I parked where the cameras had blind spots. Since meeting Cole I’d come here daily—dawn to midnight learning the mansion’s rhythm: the gardener who unlocked the side gate, the delivery trucks that came at noon, the black Mercedes that left each m

Chapter 33Brittany’s PovThe message came in that I was on a lunch appointment with Darcy's mother. It came in faster than I expected. But of course who wouldn't want to see her future daughter-in-law.Everything was working according to plan. Falling perfectly into the right place. Every move I make is in check and works just as I planned. Martin would run things according to the plan. Just have money and things work perfectly well. Soon I’d have everything I wanted. Darcy’s included.I sat in the back of my car as it passed through the midtown traffic, checking my makeup one last time to know if it was on point. Makeup flawless and glowing on my face. My hair was styled well. My blue Chanel suit screamed elegance and speaks future Mrs. Rodrigo. Exactly the image I needed.Today’s lunch with Margaret Rodrigo was crucial. It wasn’t just an ordinary meeting or a social call. This is a strategic move. The more comfortable Darcy’s mother is around me, the closer and natural my presence

Chapter 35Adrian’s PovI’d reached my limit. I couldn’t keep letting Darcy hurt me or keep holding onto false hope. After he left my room with those cold words, I made myself a promise—I was done. No more feelings. No more wishing he’d see me differently.It hurt, of course it did. But pain had become familiar to me. On my bed, I was awake, with so many thoughts in my mind, like when did he enter my room? Did he carry me to my bed or did I fall asleep on my bed? Another word rushed into my mind, "Put yourself together and your only job is to focus on being Pink's nanny," I tried forcing myself to believe that I can just shut off my feelings and focus only on my work—being Pink’s nanny—without caring about Darcy anymore. Sleep wouldn't come.Finally, I gave up thinking so hard. I decided to check on Pink before I sleep. I had left after dinner and it wasn't fair. She deserves better.It was cold so I'd to check on Pink and make sure she was well covered.I wore my clothes, then qui

Chapter 37 Darcy’s PovThe house was quiet when I left Pink’s room.Adrian stayed behind, curled next to her, one arm protectively around the little girl. I paused by the door, watching them.Pink’s tiny hands were on Adrian’s hair, her face was calm and she was smiling even in sleep. Adrian hummed softly, the sound warm and gentle.A strange ache built in my chest as I remembered what happened earlier. Pink had a very bad dream and woke up calling Adrian,“Mommy.”This is so weird.That word kept replaying in my head. I told myself it didn’t matter. It was nothing after all, children do a lot of weird things and also Pink has grown to be more comfortable and close to her caregivers. Still, the way she said it, so naturally—bothered me.Adrian was only her nanny. Not her mother.But when I looked at them, sometimes they seemed connected in a way I couldn’t explain. Both had soft brown hair, the same tender eyes that carried quiet sadness. It was probably a coincidence, I told myself a

Chapter 39:Brittany’s PovVivienne and I planned on going to girls' shopping today to change our wardrobes and get some new handbags to top up the game. Just then as I entered my car instructing my driver to head to the shopping mall,Margaret Rodrigo called me, her voice carrying that polished calm rich woman's voice used when they’re hiding something serious.“Brittany, dear. Can we have lunch today? There’s something we need to discuss.”“Something” never meant anything good, but refusing her wasn’t an option. I agreed immediately.It was 1pm already so I decided to cancel my meeting with Vivienne and head to the usual upscale restaurant. It was always quiet and private there. Margaret was already seated when I arrived, dressing elegant as always but I felt she was tense, it's usual.“Thank you Brittany, for coming on such little notice,” she said.“Of course,” I replied smoothly. “You said it was important?”She waited for the waiter to pour our wine before lowering her voice. “
