A CURVY NANNY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 9
A month had come and gone since the day he hired Nicola and Blake realized this was one of the wisest decisions he ever made. He saw a change in his house now that she lived under his roof. Iris was laughing more. Alma, Bruce, and Albert were smiling more. It was as if everyone had been in a daze before she came along and somehow, she had brought them out of it. Nicola was the sun inside his house, always ready to take care of everything and everybody, always ready to help solve all the problems. Blake was sitting in his office thinking about how fortunate Iris was to have her as a nanny when the intercom on his desk suddenly came on and Daphne started to speak.“Sir, Miss Pendergast is here to see you.” He swore under his breath, then reached out and pressed the intercom button.“I have a meeting in ten minutes. Tell her to come back later,” Blake said. “Or never, for all I care.”“Yes, sir,” Daphne replied. Blake

Right after breakfast, Nicola left Iris in Alma's care the next day, loaded the stray dog into the car, and drove to the nearest veterinarian's clinic. There was a twenty-minute wait before she could take the dog into one of the examination rooms. While she waited, Nicola stroked the animal’s white colored fur and talked to him in a low voice. He gazed up at her with warm brown eyes, his pink tongue sticking out of his mouth.“You are so cute, so well-behaved. I can't believe someone didn't want you.” The dog licked Nicola's hand.“You need a name but I'll let Iris do the honors.” Ten minutes later, the veterinarian, Dr. Parry stepped into the waiting room. Nicola scooped up the little dog and got to her feet. She followed the doctor down a short hallway and into a small room on her right.“And who is this little guy?”“I don’t know. He wandered onto my employer's property a few weeks ago. He looked so thin and I felt sorry for him, so I started

The small plane taxied down the runway and slowly rolled to a stop a short distance from a waiting car. Inside the plane, Blake unbuckled Iris's seatbelt and lifted her out of the seat. Putting her down, he took her hand and led her toward the exit. They walked down the stairs and made their way to the car. As they drew near, a man stepped out and opened the back door. Blake helped Iris in and got in after her. The chauffeur closed the door and then slid behind the wheel. He started the car, adjusted the rear-view mirror, and glanced at Blake in it.“Where to, Mr. Echols?” he asked.“What would you like to see first, sunshine?” Blake asked Iris.“A toy store,” Iris muttered.“The little one has spoken,” Blake said. “Take us to ‘FAO Schwarz’, please.”“Very well, sir.” Thirty minutes later, the chauffeur pulled up alongside the toy store. Blake and Iris got out and headed toward the entrance. The minute they entered the building, Iris's eyes grew huge and

Her head was throbbing so badly she almost felt the need to throw up. Fighting against the awful pain that was crippling every inch of her body, Nicola opened her eyes very slowly, squinting, trying to get images into focus, trying to understand what was going on, where she was… She found herself in a dimly lit room. There were no windows and the only furniture in the small space was the filthy bed she was lying on. The smell was awful... like she was in the middle of a dump field.“What is this place…?” Nicola whispered, trying to stay as calm as possible. Nicola attempted to sit up and realized she was tied to that bed. One end of the rope encircled her wrists, while the other end was tied to the headboard. Images of what happened came upon her like a landslide. At that point, fear raced through her and Nicola struggled to break free.“Oh, come on…” she said slowly, trying not to let her kidnapper know she was awake. “Come on… Please…” But the

SEVEN MONTHS EARLIER There had to be something she could do, but what? Nicola Rhymes looked at her surroundings and sighed. She jumped at the chance to leave her past behind, come to another city, and plan her future here, in Long Beach… And now…? Well, she was in over her head. She had always been the one who wanted out… Out of the family, out of the drama, out of an unhealthy relationship, out of everything. Well, no one told her ‘be careful what you wish for, sweetie!’ because now she was stuck in a tiny apartment in the worst neighborhood in Long Beach, with no clue what to do. With no light at the end of the fucking tunnel.“This situation is slowly killing my spirit,” Nicola murmured. “If only Daphne would send me a sign…” She put her head in her hands and sighed. On the computer screen in front of her, was her budget for the next three months. No matter which way she plotted and planned, she only had

The night security guard of the ‘Echols Enterprises’ got up from his chair the moment he saw Blake.“As always, you’re the last one to go home, Mr. Echols…” he respectfully scolded Blake. “Busted... again!” Blake replied gently in a tired voice. “I’m afraid this is the cruel faith of a CEO, Paul: the first one to arrive in the office, the last one to go home.” Blake started walking towards the door but stopped.“Oh, I almost forgot, Paul… How’s your wife? She already had that heart surgery, am I right?”“You are, sir. She’s much better now,” the man replied sighing with relief. “The doctor said the surgery was a success and that he will allow Linda to continue her treatment at home.”“That’s wonderful!” Blake exclaimed and nodded with satisfaction. “There’s no place like home… The perfect place to heal every wound.”“Sir, I wanted to thank you again for everything you’ve done for my Linda. If it wasn’t for your help...”“Paul, there’s no need to thank me. You’ve b

The following morning, Nicola entered ‘Echols Enterprises’ and made her way across the marble-floored lobby to the bank of elevators. The sound of her pumps striking the floor was loud to her ears and she had to resist the urge to tiptoe. At the elevator, she pushed the button and tucked several strands of long blond hair behind her right ear. When the elevator arrived, Nicola stepped inside and pressed the button for the top floor. The doors slid open a minute later and Nicola walked out into a classy reception room. Daphne sat behind a desk talking on the telephone. She glanced toward Nicola and acknowledged her presence with a wave of her well-manicured hand. While she waited for Daphne to end her phone conversation, Nicola looked at the painting on the wall in front of her. It was of a catamaran sailing across the blue waters of a sea… or maybe an ocean. The sun was hanging high in the sky casting brilliant shades of white and yellow on the

He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.“I hope you won’t think of my curiosity as a lack of respect towards you. Since you talked about checking my past jobs, I thought it’s only fair for me to know all about your… Ehm… situation.” Blake nodded and Nicola felt calmer.“You are right. Well, my little girl has had three nannies in the last two years. The first one had a difficult time following my rules, the second one liked to sneak her boyfriend into the house at night and the last one had a nasty habit of smoking... and I’m not talking about cigarettes only. She said it was therapeutic. I don't allow this kind of thing near my daughter.”“I see,” Nicola added and shifted in the chair. “I can assure you, Mr. Echols, I don't smoke. I don't have a boyfriend, but if I did, I wouldn't be sneaking him into your home. It would be disrespectful not to mention completely unprofessional. Finally, I don't have a problem with following rules.” She grinned.“As lon
