All Chapters of The Playboy Billionaire's Nanny : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The penthouse was eerily silent. Amy awoke to Theo's soft gurgles on the baby monitor by her nightstand. She lay there for a long moment, staring up at the unusually high ceilings in the suite, the surrealness of being here making her heart thud.Central Park West.Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year.Damien Ross's penthouse.She got dressed in simple black leggings and a soft gray sweater, then ventured down to the nursery.Theo was standing in his crib, gripping the railing with his chubby fingers and his hair sticking out in every direction. He beamed at her when he saw her and threw his little arms towards her. Amy's chest warmed instantly"Good morning, little man." She lifted him, taking in his sweet baby smell, and for the first time since walking through the door, she felt a looseness within her. Caring for Theo - that she could do. It felt safe.She was beginning to change his diaper when the nursery door swung open. Damien Ross was standing there, alread

The next three days slipped by like a shadow, each day slipping into a routine that felt suspiciously comfortable. Amy got up at six-thirty, fixed Theo’s bottle, and spent those early, golden hours with him in the nursery. He was gradually beginning to know her voice. Whenever she walked in, he’d whip his head around, squealing like she was the best thing he’d seen all day. She sang silly songs while she changed him, doodled quick cartoons on her tablet when they played on the floor, and caught herself smiling more than she had in months. The money was already starting to make an impact on her life, too. She cleared her biggest overdue bill from the first advance of her monthly salary, and, for the first time in ages, she could actually breathe without that constant threat of eviction breathing down her neck.But still, the real tension for her slipped in between the routines, where the silence between her and Damien hung heavy.He never stayed out or away for too long. Mos

The rest of the day passed by in a careful, steady rhythm. Amy threw herself into Theo’s routine - extra tummy time, longer story sessions, a slow walk around the terrace with Theo strapped to her chest. The green air and his tiny laughs helped a little to push Serena’s words aside. But they kept coming back. When Theo was clean, fed, and finally asleep that night, Amy wandered to the kitchen for water. She slowed when she saw Damien standing at the island, a glass of something amber in his hand, looking out at the city lights. He wore a simple black shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He hadn’t heard her come in, but somehow she knew he was aware of her presence. “Can’t sleep?” he said, voice quiet. “I just wanted some water.” She tried to sound neutral, acutely aware of her every step Damien took a sip, then set his glass on the counter. “Serena tends to have that effect on people. She leaves the air ... unsettled.” Amy filled her glass of water and leaned against the op

Two nights after, the penthouse was cloaked in stillness, broken only by the faint, steady murmur of New York traffic far beneath the shimmering skyline. Amy had gone to bed early, worn out from Theo's newfound mobility as he learned to crawl across the living room rug. Her body felt pleasantly sore - the kind of deep fatigue that comes from constant movement. She’d showered, changed into soft cotton shorts and a tank top, and slipped under the plush sheets, hoping sleep would come easily. It didn’t. At first, the sound was barely there - It seemed so quiet she wondered if she’d imagined it, or if it had slipped in through a dream.A low, breathy moan drifting in through the walls. Then another, deeper and more insistent. Amy’s eyes snapped open in the dark. Her heart pounded against her ribs. The guest wing was down a long hallway from her suite, but the acoustics in the penthouse were merciless and offered little privacy. The sounds grew louder - more rhythmic, unmistakable. The

The morning unfolded with a careful, almost tense rhythm.Amy immersed herself in Theo’s schedule with quiet intensity. She changed him, played with him on the plush rug in the nursery, read him three board books back-to-back, and took him for a slow walk through the private terrace garden. His soft babbling and the way he tugged at her hair kept her anchored. Theo was safe. Theo was uncomplicated. With him, there were no restless desires or tangled thoughts - just simple, steady comfort.Yet each time she returned to the main part of the penthouse, Damien’s presence seemed to linger like an unspoken weight. He spent most of the morning in his home office, the door slightly open. She caught glimpses of him on calls - his sleeves rolled up, his expression focused, and speaking with calm authority. Twice, as she passed by, she found his sharp, whiskey-colored eyes already fixed on her, watching with an intensity that made her feel exposed.By early afternoon, Theo had settled into h
