Beneath The Billionaire’s Mask: Chasing The Nanny You Should Run
Back in Anya’s room, Penelope wiped the crumbs from Anya’s mouth as the little girl yawned sleepily. “That was the best cake ever,” Anya mumbled, her words slurring slightly from exhaustion.“I’m really glad you liked it, Anya,” Penelope said softly, placing the empty plate on the bedside table. “Now, it’s time for bed, young lady.”“But I’m not sleepy,” Anya protested, rubbing her eyes and betraying her words.Penelope chuckled. “Not sleepy, huh? Then why are your eyes barely open?” She asked with a sly grin on her face.Anya shrugged without uttering a word. Penelope took that as her clue and gently guided Anya to lie down on her bed, tucking the blanket around her snugly.“Will you sing me a lullaby?” Anya asked, looking up at her with wide, innocent eyes.“Of course I can. Do you have a favorite or I could pick one?” Penelope asked with a warm smile. “No I don’t. You should pick one. I know it’s going to sound good coming from you since you have an angelic voice.” Anya said, ma

The morning was unusually quiet in the Giovanni mansion. Brayden had left before anyone else was awake, as he often did. The staff went about their duties with practiced efficiency, and Penelope found herself filling the silence by focusing on her tasks for the day.She had already prepared Anya for school that morning and Darla, Anya's bodyguard, still gave her the creep when she had escorted Anya to the gate where Darla and Anya’s driver were waiting. By noon, the air in the kitchen was warm with the aroma of Inez’s cooking.She moved with precision, chopping vegetables and checking the pot on the stove.“Brayden will be home earlier today,” Inez calmly said, glancing over her shoulder at Penelope, who was busy with her own preparations.“He’s coming home early?” Penelope asked, slightly surprised. She remembered he didn’t return early the previous day.“Yes, he called to let me know. I’m making sure everything is perfect for lunch,” Inez replied, her tone leaving no room for er

The night was thick with tension as Brayden sat silently in the backseat of the car. His mask concealed his face, but his cold, piercing eyes told a story of determination. Luca drove with steady hands, his gaze flicking to the rearview mirror occasionally, reading his boss’s mood.“Are you sure you want to do this yourself, Don Giovanni?” Luca asked, his tone cautious. “The boys and I could’ve handled it.”“I want to make sure everything goes smoothly,” Brayden replied curtly, his voice low and commanding. “No mistakes. This deal is too important to leave to chance.”Luca nodded without argument. He knew better than to question Brayden’s decisions.They pulled into an abandoned lot, where a black car was already parked under the dim glow of a flickering streetlight. The client’s men stepped out, their faces hidden behind black masks, mirroring Brayden’s. Brayden gave a single nod. Luca understood the signal and moved to the trunk, retrieving a small black case. The other m

Darla stood in the shadows of the bar, her heart pounding with fury. She had witnessed everything—the quiet conversation between Brayden and Penelope, the way Brayden looked at her, and, worst of all, the kiss. Her fists clenched at her sides, nails digging into her palms as she tried to calm the storm raging inside her. “How could this happen so quickly? That woman just got here! It isn’t even up to a week yet and she’s already trying to seduce Brayden!” Darla thought bitterly as she gritted her teeth in anger.She had never been that angry for a while, but the moment Penelope stepped foot into Brayden’s mansion, everything annoys her! She watched as Penelope walked down the hallway, her steps heavy and hurried— Like she was trying to get away from Brayden at all cost.Darla scoffed, “Acting like she wasn’t leaning to his touch some seconds ago. Innocent looking girls always turned out to be sluts! Who would have thought…?” She mumbled underneath her breath.Brayden remained

Brayden groaned, the sharp ringing of his phone pulling him out of a restless sleep. He reached for it, but the call had already ended by the time he brought it to his ear. Blinking groggily, he stared at the screen.“Missed call from Luca,” he muttered, then noticed the list of notifications. “Ten missed calls? Seriously?” He groaned.His heart dropped. Something was wrong—Luca would never call him so many times unless it was urgent. What could have happened?’ He thought to himself. Brayden sat up abruptly, his body tense. He glanced at the other side of the bed, finding it empty. “Darla’s gone,” he thought absently before redialing Luca’s number.It only rang once before Luca answered, his voice shaky.“Don Giovanni….”“Luca, what happened?” Brayden demanded immediately, his tone sharp. He already had the feeling that something wasn’t right. Thus, he wasn’t in for pleasantries.“I was ambushed last night,” Luca stammered. “The briefcase… it’s gone. They collected it.”“What?”

Brayden leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze fixed on Luca, who stood before him with his arm still in a sling. The tension in the room was palpable.“I can’t trust anyone right now, Luca,” Brayden said, his voice cold and calculated. “Not a single soul. That ambush? It was too well-timed. Someone betrayed us.”Luca nodded, his expression grim. “Do you think it’s someone on the inside, Don?”“Possibly,” Brayden replied. “But my gut tells me it’s the client from last night. Maybe they decided to double-cross us—take the goods and come back for the money.”Luca’s jaw tightened. “What’s the plan?”“We’re going to find them,” Brayden said firmly, leaning forward. “And when we do, they’ll pay for what they’ve done.”Luca raised an eyebrow. “How do we track them down?”Brayden smirked. “They’ll slip up. People like them always do. Start by gathering the men. I want eyes everywhere—any sign of them, I want to know.”“Understood, Don.” Luca pulled out his phone and started making call

In a dimly lit room in the middle of nowhere, armed men paced back and forth. The tension in the air was so thick it could be cut with a knife. The men—Aldo Ricci’s loyal soldiers—were visibly enraged.One of them, a tall man with a scar running down his cheek, slammed his fist onto the table in anger.“This is unacceptable!” he barked. “Aldo Ricci was our boss, our leader! And now he’s gone because of that Giovanni scum! Who does that scum think he is?” Another man, smaller but equally furious, chimed in, “We all know who’s responsible! Brayden Giovanni thinks he can get away with this? That we’ll just let him kill our boss and walk free?”The scar-faced man nodded sharply. “He made a grave mistake messing with Ricci. We’re not going to let this slide. I will not rest until I have gotten revenge on the killer of Aldo Ricci! We all will not rest until the killer pays with the last of his blood!”The room erupted in murmurs of agreement, the men all nodding as they checked thei

It was a bright afternoon when Darla pulled up outside Anya’s school. She adjusted her sunglasses and leaned back in her seat, scanning the area as children streamed out of the building. Her sharp eyes never missed a thing.Anya skipped toward the car, clutching her backpack. A wide smile lit up her face as she waved to her bodyguard. “Darla! Look, I got a gold star today!”Darla grinned, opening the car door for her. “That’s great, Anya. You’re making me proud. Hop in.”Anya climbed into the backseat and buckled her seatbelt as Darla closed the door. The driver, a quiet man named Gerald, gave a polite nod before starting the car.The ride home began like any other. Anya hummed a tune, swinging her feet as she admired her star sticker. Darla kept her eyes on the road ahead, her instincts always on high alert.But then, without warning, a black van sped up behind them.“Gerald,” Darla said sharply, her eyes narrowing. “Do you see that van? It’s been following us for the last bl

Brayden’s piercing gray eyes swept over the group standing before him, his expression dark and unreadable. The tension in the air was suffocating, pressing down on everyone like an invisible weight. His fingers tapped against the side of his expensive watch as he exhaled sharply. “What happened?” His voice was quiet, but the dangerous edge beneath it sent a chill down Penelope’s spine. Darla stepped forward immediately, her posture straight and composed. “Don Giovanni, it was reckless on Penelope’s part,” she said smoothly, her tone carrying just the right amount of concern and authority. “She insisted that we step back and let Anya play freely, despite my objections. I warned her that it wasn’t safe, but she refused to listen. That’s how we lost sight of Anya.” Penelope’s eyes widened in shock. “That’s not true!” she blurted out, stepping forward. “I never ignored any warnings. I only—” Brayden lifted a hand, cutting her
Beneath The Billionaire’s Mask: Chasing The Nanny Call Him
Penelope’s heart pounded violently against her ribs as she sprinted through the park, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Her voice was hoarse from screaming.“Anya!” she called, desperation clawing at her chest. “Anya, where are you?”The afternoon sun bathed the park in warm light, but to Penelope, everything felt cold and suffocating. Parents strolled with their children, unaware of the panic gripping her. Some cast curious glances, sensing the distress in her voice, but no one had seen a little girl wandering alone.Behind her, Darla and the other guards moved swiftly, searching every bench, every slide, every hidden corner.“Spread out!” Darla barked at the men, her sharp eyes scanning the playground. “Check near the fountain and behind the bushes. Someone had to see something!”Penelope’s hands trembled as she gripped her phone, hesitating for a moment before shoving it back into her pocket. Calling Brayden now wouldn’t do any good. She had to find Anya firs

Penelope sighed as she pulled the soft blanket over Anya’s small body, brushing a few strands of hair away from her peaceful face. The little girl had dozed off mid-sentence, exhausted from the morning’s activities. Penelope smiled faintly, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to her forehead before straightening up.She walked quietly out of the room, careful not to wake her, and stepped into the hallway where Darla stood, already waiting.“She’s ready for school,” Penelope said softly.Darla gave a curt nod and opened the door wider. Anya stirred, blinking sleepily as she saw the bodyguard. “Darla…” she mumbled, rubbing her eyes.“It’s time to go, princess,” Darla said, her tone softer than usual.Anya yawned and stretched her little arms before slipping off the bed. Penelope helped her into her coat and adjusted the straps of her pink backpack.“I’ll see you when you get back, okay?” Penelope said, crouching to Anya’s level.Anya nodded before wrap

The morning sunlight filtered through the large windows of the dining room, casting a warm glow over the space. The sound of clinking cutlery and soft footsteps filled the air as the household staff moved about, ensuring that everything was in place for breakfast.Brayden sat at the head of the table, dressed in a crisp black suit, his expression unreadable as he scrolled through his phone while sipping his coffee. His plate was mostly untouched, the food before him barely registering in his mind. He had a long day ahead, and his thoughts were already occupied with business matters.The sound of small, hurried footsteps caught his attention. Looking up, he saw Anya running toward the dining area, her face bright with excitement. Behind her, Penelope followed at a more measured pace, her hair slightly tousled from sleep. She wore a simple dress, her features neutral as she realized who was seated at the table.Brayden’s eyes flickered to Penelope brief

Brayden stepped into his villa, exhaustion weighing heavily on his shoulders. The evening had been unnecessarily draining, filled with public appearances, staged moments, and the suffocating presence of Victoria Monroe. He had tolerated it all with his usual indifference, knowing full well what she was playing at, but he couldn’t let his irritation cloud his judgment.He loosened his tie as he walked through the quiet hallways, his footsteps silent against the polished marble floor. The house was dimly lit, the only source of light coming from the security fixtures along the walls. He made his way toward Anya’s bedroom, his body instinctively guiding him there despite the late hour.Pushing the door open slightly, he peeked inside. The warm glow of the nightlight illuminated the room, casting soft shadows along the walls. His daughter lay curled up on her bed, her small body wrapped in the blankets, her soft breathing the only sound in the room. But
Beneath The Billionaire’s Mask: Chasing The Nanny Power Couple
The evening had played out exactly the way Victoria planned.From the moment they arrived at the high-end restaurant, everything had been carefully arranged. The paparazzi had been stationed at strategic angles, capturing shots of them walking in together, exchanging subtle glances, and sharing what appeared to be a pleasant dinner. Every element screamed elegance and power—just as she wanted.The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, the flashing lights returned in full force. Reporters and photographers called out to them, asking questions about their relationship, speculating on the nature of their bond. Victoria smiled, clutching Brayden’s arm with just the right amount of intimacy.Brayden, however, remained impassive. His face betrayed no emotion as he led her through the chaos. He was used to this. His presence alone was enough to stir media frenzy, but tonight, the focus wasn’t just on him. It was on them.As they reached his car
Beneath The Billionaire’s Mask: Chasing The Nanny Something Changed
Penelope woke up the next morning feeling drained. She had barely slept the night before, tossing and turning as thoughts of Brayden and Victoria clouded her mind. Even now, as she forced herself out of bed and went to freshen up, the memory of the news report still played in her head. The images of Brayden and Victoria looking so comfortable together, so intimate, were burned into her mind. But today, she wasn’t going to let it affect her. She had a job to do, and that was all that mattered. Taking a deep breath, she pulled on a simple but neat outfit and stepped out of her room. She was expecting Brayden to have already left for work by now, which would make it easier for her to avoid him. But when she descended the stairs and stepped into the dining area, her feet almost stopped in their tracks. He was there. Brayden sat at the dining table, dressed sharply as always in a crisp dark suit. He had a newspaper spread open in front of him, his focus on the articles as h

Brayden leaned back in his chair, watching as Victoria Monroe crossed her legs, a confident smirk on her lips. Their discussion had gone smoothly, and she had been particularly pleased with the outcome. She always knew what she wanted, and from the way she kept staring at him, it was obvious he was included in that list. “Well, I’d say this has been a productive meeting,” Victoria said, tilting her head. “I’m glad we could finally sit down and discuss things properly.” Brayden didn’t respond right away. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair, his expression unreadable. Victoria leaned forward slightly, placing her elbows on the desk as she gazed at him with amusement. “You know, Brayden, I have to admit, I was surprised when you reached out to me. I thought you weren’t interested in… anything other than business with me.” His sharp blue eyes met hers. “Business comes before personal matters,” he said smoot
Beneath The Billionaire’s Mask: Chasing The Nanny Client
Brayden stood from his chair, adjusting his cufflinks as he glanced toward Inez. His expression was unreadable, his cold demeanor in full force. He cleared his throat, drawing the attention of everyone still lingering in the dining room.“Inez,” he said flatly, slipping his hands into his pockets, “I have a meeting later with Victoria, followed by dinner. There’s no need to prepare anything for me tonight, and no one should wait up.” His tone left no room for questions. Without sparing another glance, he turned on his heels and strode out of the dining room.He had purposely not referred to her as a client to Inez because he knew Penelope would be listening to his words.Penelope, who had been in the kitchen washing dishes, froze when she heard his words. Her fingers trembled slightly as she gripped a plate, her heart sinking in her chest. Victoria. Again.She had overheard his phone conversation earlier when she went to call him. She had seen the way he ha
