Danmachi Light Novel Volume 8

Dr. Hayes cleared his throat, glancing at the screen.“The child’s DNA… it matches yours.” She froze. “No… no, that’s impossible. I’m just his nanny.” Ten years ago, Bree Washington carried a child for a wealthy, anonymous couple. She was paid, promised secrecy, and told never to return after the child's birth. But life happened, putting her in a broken place... causing her to search for any means of survival. Alas, Bree gets a job as a nanny for a billionaire’s young son. The boy is sharp, stubborn, and oddly familiar. The man who hired her is cold, commanding, and haunted by loss. His wife is gone, and he needs someone he can trust to guide his child… someone who understands him in ways no one else can. Bree thought her past was behind her. She thought being a nanny would create her a new life.. But some mistakes never fade… And some secrets refuse to stay buried. Love doesn't cost a dime, but in Bree's case? Love indeed would cost her every part of her life due to her billionaire mistake.

Tahimik ang mansyon. Tahimik… maliban sa mahinang iyak ni Princess sa bisig ko—isang buwang gulang, walang alam, walang kasalanan. Pero siya ang unang nasaktan sa lahat ng ‘to. Siya ang naiipit sa pagitan ng dalawang taong hindi na alam kung paano magmahal nang sabay. Nakaluhod ako sa harap ni Elise. Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa laylayan ng bestida niya, parang batang takot na maiwan sa dilim. Nanginginig ang labi ko, pinipigilan ang mga luhang ayaw na sanang lumabas—pero hindi ko na kayang kontrolin. “Please, Elise…” garalgal kong pakiusap. “’Wag mo kaming iwan. Hindi ko alam kung paano palalakihin si Princess nang wala ka. Hindi ko alam kung paano mamuhay kung wala kayo…” Pero wala. Wala siyang emosyon. Wala siyang luha. Matigas ang titig niya, parang ako pa ang mali. Bitbit niya ang maleta niya—hindi lang punô ng damit, kundi punô ng lahat ng alaala namin. Lahat ng pangarap. Lahat ng ‘akala ko tayo.’ “Hindi ko ‘to pinlano, Levi,” mahina niyang sagot. “Pero kailangan kong piliin ang sarili ko. Pagod na akong umasa. Pagod na akong maging pangalawa sa trabaho mo, sa mundo mo. Hindi ko kayang maging ina habang ako mismo’y hindi buo.” Gumuho ako. Literal. Napayuko ako habang yakap ko si Princess, habang nararamdaman ko ang init ng iyak niya sa dibdib ko. Halik ako nang halik sa noo niya, para bang kaya kong takpan ng pagmamahal ang kawalan ng ina niya. “Anak mo ‘to, Elise. Anak natin…” pabulong kong daing. “Kung hindi mo na ako kayang mahalin… kahit siya na lang. Kahit siya. ‘Wag mong iwan ang anak mo…” Pero wala. Ni hindi siya lumapit. Ni hindi siya tumingin. Tumalikod siya, dala ang katahimikang mas malakas pa sa kahit anong sigaw ng pagtanggi. "Ayoko na" mahina niyang sabi at hinila ang maleta palabas ng mansion.

Isang gabing pagkakamali, isang panghabambuhay na iskandalo. Si Rosita Alonzo, isang matapang at masipag na dalaga, ay pumasok bilang katulong sa mansyon ng mga Zaviere sa pag-asang matatakasan ang kahirapan. Ngunit sa isang gabing nilunod ng alak ang kanyang katinuan, isang maling pinto ang kanyang nabuksan . . . isang maling kama ang kanyang nahigaan. Ang silid na iyon ay pagmamay-ari ni Alexander Zaviere, ang makapangyarihang Mayor ng lungsod. Si Alexander ay ang perpektong lider sa mata ng publiko, gwapo, matalino, at kagalang-galang. Ngunit sa likod ng mga pader ng kanyang mansyon, siya ay isang lalaking nilalamon ng pait at pangungulila matapos ang pagkamatay ng kanyang asawa. Ang agwat ng kanilang edad na dalawampung taon at ang malaking pagkakaiba ng kanilang katayuan sa buhay ay dapat sapat na upang hindi sila magtagpo, ngunit ang init ng gabing iyon ay nag-iwan ng apoy na hindi na nila kayang apulahin. Sa bawat palitan ng titig at bawat pagkakataong magkalapit sa loob ng mansyon, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob ni Alexander sa dalagang muling nagparamdam sa kanya na siya ay buhay. Ngunit ang kanilang bawal na ugnayan ay mitsa ng isang malaking pagsabog. Nang kumalat ang isang iskandalosong larawan ng Mayor kasama ang kanyang batang katulong, nanganib ang kanyang karera at ang dangal ni Rosita. Upang protektahan ang kanyang titulo at ang kaayusan ng lungsod, pinili ni Alexander ang pinakamasakit na paraan, ang itaboy si Rosita palayo sa kanyang mundo. Ngunit sa pag-alis ng babaeng nagpatibok muli ng kanyang puso, ramdam ni Alexander na ang kapangyarihan ay walang silbi kung ang puso niya ay muling magiging bilanggo ng lungkot. Handa ba niyang isuko ang kanyang korona at posisyon para bawiin ang babaeng itinuring niyang isang "pagkakamali"? O hahayaan na lamang niyang maging isang mapait na alaala ang pag-ibig na nagligtas sa kanya mula sa dilim?
