"Shh.. Do you want him to wake up?" he asked, chuckling. I moaned again as his hand slipped inside my jeans. "Then stop your hands," I whispered.

Prologue

I sprinted home. Finally, the school year has ended, and we are on vacation. Yay! I am hoping that Dad would come out of his room today. I want to show him my test results.As soon as I step inside our home, I shout, “Dad!” Mom is probably at work. I called out to him once more, but nothing. I felt a chill come over me. The atmosphere in the house is gloomy, as if something terrible is going to happen. Shaking off the unease, I sprinted toward my parents’ room and flung open the door.“Dad!” I cried, rushing to his motionless form sprawled on the floor. I tried shaking him, but to no avail. He was lying on the ground with his mouth open and foam oozing from it. I tried to shake him, but he lay there lifeless, with no soul visible in his eyes.As tears ran down my face, I trembled as I reached for my phone and dialed my Mom’s number. “Amy?” my mother’s voice made me sob even harder. “Amy, what is wrong, sweetheart?” She inquired, obviously alarmed by my situation.“Mom! Dad isn’t waking

Great read so far with a single father. I enjoy the different dynamic of the combination as opposed to the single mother again, which is most common. it's interesting having the man be the caretaker. The story is sweet so far, however updates are slow.

Chapter 1

AmyKeys. CheckedWallet. Checked.Id card. Checked.Finally, the checklist is done. I walked out of my apartment and towards my car. Just as I was about to close the car door, I remembered something. Shit! I forgot about the assignments. I rushed back to my room, grabbed them, and then hurried back to my car. I took a careful seat to preserve the formal dress I was wearing today. Usually, I opt for semi-formal clothing, but today was an exception. I needed to look sharp.I arrived at my school room early. Organizing my classroom and making preparations for my students are some of my favorite tasks. I always ensured that my students received my best efforts. As I worked, I couldn’t help but smile, thinking about how happy my fourth-graders would be when they saw the upcoming project.When the bell rang, I was just about to finish organizing the papers when I stepped outside the classroom to let my students in. Some of them squealed and yelled, ‘Good morning, miss!’ It was adorable!The

Chapter 2

RyanI closed the door to my office and plopped into my plush leather chair, feeling the weight of frustration and fatigue bearing down on me. I rubbed my tired eyes and threw my head back against the headrest. I am so sick of this nonsense.“That bad, huh?” Mark’s voice broke through my thoughts. When did he show up?“What are you doing in my office? I gave you access for an emergency only, not to wander about at will,” I growled.Mark pouted like a child and said, “Aww! Come on, dude. I was bored and figured you would need some company after getting that call from Liam’s school. What happened?” I reluctantly started to recount the events from earlier.Three hours ago, I had been in the midst of preparing for an important meeting with investors when my phone chimed, displaying Principal Dan’s number on the screen. Panic surged through me, and I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Is Liam okay?’ I answered the call with a sense of urgency.“Hello. Principal Dan here. Am I talking to Mr. Crawfor

Chapter 3

AmyI sat nervously in the plush waiting room of RC Enterprises, feeling the weight of anticipation bearing down on me. My hands were sweaty, and I couldn’t stop fumbling with the files in my lap. The interviews hadn’t even started yet, and I was already sweating like a pig. I glanced around at the grandeur of the lobby, utterly awestruck. I had never seen anything so grand in my life.The top floor was vast, easily the size of two football fields, and it seemed to contain only two offices at the far end corner. Everything else appeared to be meeting rooms or additional waiting areas. I was sitting in the waiting room on a sofa that was so comfortable that I could just slide down and sleep on it. The decor of the whole floor was a soothing light beige, bathed in soft, inviting, and illuminating. It looked like something straight out of a magazine. I was so captivated by the surroundings that I didn’t even notice someone clearing their throat.“The interviews will begin immediately. Mi

Chapter 4

RyanI reviewed Amy’s resume again. It was quite impressive. She had a degree in child development and, as she said, she minored in child psychology. The confidence in her voice and the way she answered were both excellent. I may have pushed a few buttons, but I do not want to risk anything about the future of my child.“So, who do we like? I think we can agree that Amy is the one.” Mark barged into my office before I could delve deeper in my thoughts.“Are you following her like a puppy dog now?” I asked, arching an eyebrow.He smirked, “Well, no, I was just getting acquainted with Liam’s future nanny.”“Who said that she was Liam’s nanny? Nothing is final yet,” I replied, trying to maintain a professional tone.“Oh please, if you did not prefer her as Liam’s nanny, you would throw her out of the interview like the previous one. And you know you are a little impressed with that spitfire. You cannot lie to me,” he replied.I squinted my eyes at him, giving him a warning, “Mark, don’t t

Chapter 5

AmyI sighed as I plopped down on my bed after returning to my small apartment from the interview. I found the experience to be somewhat strange. Nannying was never part of my career plan, but when Mara approached me about it two weeks ago, I couldn’t help but feel perplexed. I probed her for more information, wondering how she even got wind of this opportunity. It appeared like the kind of position that required exclusive connections. To enter the building for the interview, I had to provide a mysterious coded message that Mara had given me. It all felt rather clandestine.I knew I should be grateful for the opportunity, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that Mara was keeping something from me. I mulled over the job offer, and there was no denying that I desperately needed it. My attempts at landing a teaching job elsewhere had been futile, as the entire district was grappling with severe budget cuts, resulting in countless layoffs. With a sigh, I reluctantly agreed to the interview, a

Chapter 6

RyanThe hot water soothed my sore muscles. I was so engrossed in exercising today it had completely slipped my mind that I had asked Liam’s new babysitter to report at 9 am. I squirted some body wash into my hands and rubbed it all over my body. It is said that the Himalayan salt in the body wash would ease any muscle fatigue.As I lathered up, my phone chimed with an incoming call. Fink, my home voice assistant, informed me that it was Jim calling. I reluctantly answered, knowing that this interruption meant I had to wrap up my shower quickly.Jim informed me that Miss Castello had arrived at the gate, and I granted her entry before rushing to finish my shower. With the hot water and stress momentarily forgotten, I dried off and wrapped a towel around my waist. I vigorously rubbed my hair with another towel to dry it before checking my phone for any important notifications.As I was about to reach for my phone, I sensed someone’s gaze fixed upon me. Raising my eyes, I found Miss Cast

Chapter 7

AmyI quickly exited Mr. Crawford’s room, my heart pounding from the awkward encounter. I couldn’t help but berate myself for my blunder. I’m such a fool, I thought as I sank onto the living room sofa, absently toying with the straps of my bag. The question looming large in my mind: Was this going to cost me my job on my very first day? My nerves were getting the best of me, and I struggled to calm my racing heart.Amid my spiraling thoughts, I suddenly realized something crucial. Where was Liam? Panic surged within me. I had been so preoccupied with the earlier incident that I’d lost track of the little boy. I was about to launch into a search when a handsome man approached.“You must be Miss Amy Castello, Liam’s new nanny,” he said, smiling politely.I blushed. “Hmm... I am. And you are?”“I am Jim Perry, Liam’s bodyguard,” he introduced himself.My mouth formed an ‘O’ of realization. So this is the man who was in the bathroom. And also a 5-year-old has a bodyguard. Well, not that I

Chapter 8

LiamI huff and squeeze Mr. Snowbell to my chest. When Daddy told me about a new nanny, I was sure she would be the same as the others. I have not been able to sleep thinking about what happened today. Maybe Miss Amy is different. No!I cannot think like that. Miss Amy looked different from the other nannies, but deep down, I knew she’d turn out the same.The old nannies always put on a show when they saw Daddy, getting all giggly and excited. What did Jim call that... umm... flirting? They always flirt with daddy. I don’t like that. I scrunched my nose. I even saw one of them take something and sneak it into her purse. Daddy and Jim say stealing is bad.So I have to protect Daddy from those women. I make them run away. It was easy since all I had to do was pull up some prank, or little mischief, or just I had to act out a little. And they would run away, leaving me and Daddy alone.But today had been different. Miss Amy hadn’t acted like the others. When I tried to run away from her a

Chapter 9

AmyI bit my lip, trying to hold back my emotions as I looked around my tiny apartment. This had been my home for the last few years, and it held memories of both joy and sorrow. I squealed like a crazy school girl when I landed my teaching job in the kitchen. I cried on the floor when the doctor told me that my mother would need to go away to a hospice or hospital situation, as she needed constant care. This is the place where I have cried and smiled and picked myself up more than I like to admit.Currently, as I placed the last of my essentials into my bag, I couldn’t deny the emotional weight of leaving this place behind. I was almost fully packed, ready to move into Mr. Crawford’s home. My salary would cover the rent here as well as my mother’s medical bills, so I decided to keep this apartment as a safe haven.However, I still needed to pay this month’s rent, and I was short on funds. So, I made my way to Mr. Howard’s condo, my landlord. I tapped his door knocker. Mr. Howard, my l
