《The Nanny Is the Billionaire's Missing Wife》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 5 章

​“This is less than what we agreed on.” Valerius’s voice came out cold and sharp as she stared at the middle-aged man sitting half-naked on the edge of the motel bed. ​The man let out a drunken laugh while buttoning his pants lazily. “You should be grateful I’m paying at all.”​Valerius’s jaw tightened. For five years, she had survived men like this. Drunk men. Disgusting men. Powerful men who thought money gave them the right to treat people like trash. But tonight, she was too exhausted to tolerate it. “You promised me three hundred dollars,” she said flatly. “That’s barely half.”​The man suddenly grabbed her waist and yanked her onto his lap without warning. “Then earn the rest properly.”​The smell of alcohol on his breath nearly made her sick. Valerius reacted instantly. Her heel slammed down onto his foot with brutal force.​“FUCK!”​Before the man could recover, a loud slap cracked across the motel room. His head snapped sideways.​“You’re lucky that’s all I did,” Valerius hi

​The moment the Rolls-Royce door shut behind her, Valerius knew she had just made a terrible decision.

Valerius closed the bedroom door and looked around.The room was huge. A king-sized bed stood near the center beneath a crystal chandelier. Warm lights reflected against the wooden floor, and the massive windows overlooked Manhattan’s skyline.What caught her attention the most was the large glass wardrobe near the corner of the room.The door was slightly open, revealing rows of expensive clothes inside. Silk nightgowns, elegant dresses, thick winter coats. Everything looked new, and somehow all of it seemed like it would fit her perfectly.Instead of feeling impressed, Valerius felt uncomfortable.This place was too luxurious for someone like her. She had spent the last five years living in a tiny apartment with leaking ceilings and broken electricity. Compared to that life, this mansion barely felt real.Valerius went straight into the bathroom.She stood under the warm shower for a long time, letting the heat ease some of the tension in her body after everything that had happened
