Yvonne had no idea how to respond and merely smiled to cover up the awkwardness. She understood that Micheal was doing everything he could for his children, but how did he feel personally? It was admirable that he did so much for his children's sake, but what about his own integrity? Was he upset that he had to touch a stranger's belongings?

Yvonne wondered what thoughts roamed through his mind as he helped her unpack while she sat in the living room, scrolling through magazines.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Langston. Would you like a cup of water? Juice?” she asked.

“Water will be fine. Daddy doesn't like juice,” Lily replied on Micheal's behalf.

“They are in charge,” Micheal gestured helplessly, which made Yvonne smile softly.

"Water it is, then,” Yvonne said, and they all walked back into the living room.

Out of excitement, the kids suggested they watch a cartoon. Micheal was used to this routine, but it was a trigger for Yvonne, who had once purchased so many different types of car

    In less than two hours, the children were fast asleep.Yvonne gestured to Micheal, asking him to help take the kids to her bedroom, but he shook his head and typed something on her phone.*"15 more minutes before you can move them, or they will wake up,"* read the message.When Yvonne saw the text, she nodded in agreement and continued to hold the kids close to her. Before the 15-minute mark, she had fallen asleep as well.Micheal was transfixed by the sight. Jack sat nestled against Yvonne, his head resting on her chest where it met Lily's head, which was nestled in between Yvonne's spread thighs. Yvonne held both children protectively, even as her head slumped back.He couldn’t resist capturing the moment. He held up his phone and took a picture of the scene. The sudden click of the camera jolted Yvonne awake, but thankfully, her first instinct was to check on Lily and Jack to make sure they were alright. This gave Micheal the chance to quickly put his phone away.Yvonne’s half-clos

    Micheal had been so engrossed in his work that he hadn't noticed the movements coming from Yvonne's room. She had woken up in the middle of the night, realizing she was still wearing the outfit from the dinner meeting. After changing into her pajamas, Yvonne searched for something more comfortable for the twins but found nothing suitable. Instead, she loosened their outfits to keep them as comfortable as possible. Her thoughts then drifted to Micheal, wondering how he was doing. It was strange having a man in her home who wasn't David, but she wasn't bothered by it. Micheal gave her a sense of assurance that he would never overstep his boundaries or cause problems for her, which was exactly what Yvonne needed as she navigated her new relationship with his kids.Expecting to see Micheal asleep on the couch, Yvonne was surprised to find him fully focused on his laptop screen. She approached him cautiously, stopping at a respectful distance before gaining his attention.Micheal closed

    The next morning, Yvonne woke up to find that Micheal and the kids were already up. Despite their father’s refusal to allow them to bathe at her house, the kids had brushed their teeth and were ready for breakfast, which, surprisingly, Micheal had prepared.It was an omelet sandwich—simple yet delicious. Yvonne ate her portion, dazed, under the curious gazes of Micheal and the kids. Apparently, Micheal had become a devoted participant in wooing her, with his children’s encouragement.Lily and Jack had suggested their father make their favorite sandwich so that their beloved Miss Yvonne would realize that cooking was another skill their daddy possessed. Yvonne, who was used to serving others all her life, was overwhelmed with emotion at being cooked for.She chewed with dazed and misty eyes, which made Micheal frown and Jack give his father a knowing look.Micheal then made up his mind to look into David. His curiosity had finally reached its peak.“Do you love it?” Lily asked.Yvonne

    When the old nanny resigned, Micheal had accepted her decision without question. He never forced anyone into his life, and he certainly wouldn’t do so with his children.However, realizing that such a sweet woman had been driven away by his mother, who wanted to replace her with someone she could control, filled Micheal with anger.His frustration deepened when he arrived home with his kids to find Susan dozing off at the entrance instead of relaxing in her room.What was she trying to portray?That she couldn’t sleep unless the kids were home? A nanny typically uses the rare moments when the employers are away to enjoy some alone time, but Susan was trying to show that she preferred them around all the time.At that moment, Micheal saw Susan in a new light, noticing how she had customized her outfit, which was supposed to be comfortable, into something stylish. Her blouse was tied at the side, ending just below her chest, while her pants were slightly lowered to accentuate her slim w

    Jack frowned, his adorable face clouded with concern, before glancing back at Lily, who still looked frightened.“Where is Daddy?” he asked.Just then, Micheal strode into the room with a commanding presence, his expression cold and unreadable.“Daddy!” Lily called out, making Susan sharply turn her head. Micheal quickly reached her and grabbed her wrist with a firm grip.Turning to his children, Micheal said, “You can take a break. Say hi to Miss Yvonne.”Lily’s frightened expression immediately turned to one of excitement, mirroring Jack’s reaction.Micheal then left the room, half-dragging Susan with him.Once they were out of the children's earshot, he released her. “I’m revoking my promise to pay your tuition fees. Leave now, and expect your final payment up to today in your account,” he said icily.Susan shook her head, her face displaying a look of betrayal. “Sir, you can't just fire me for no reason,” she protested.“Oh, yes, I can. And I have.” Before Susan could respond, Mic

    The house felt like a tomb. Silent, suffocating, and filled with ghosts of emotions Yvonne couldn’t name.She had locked herself in for days, refusing contact with the outside world. The mere thought of facing reality made her sick to her stomach—literally. Every meal her mother forced upon her barely made it past her throat before nausea clawed its way up, rejecting the sustenance she knew she needed.She was wasting away.Her reflection in the mirror had become a stranger—sunken eyes, hollow cheeks, a shadow of herself. And yet, she couldn't find it in her to care.Because how could she?How could she pretend to be okay when the one person she had given her trust—her safe place—was the very reason her world had collapsed?Michael.She had once whispered his name with reverence in her heart, with an aching sort of longing she never dared admit to him yet.Now?Now it felt like a curse.She should be grateful, right?

    A few hours after David’s arrest—outside the police station.Sammy stood stiffly by the station’s entrance, arms crossed tightly over her chest as she watched the doors swing open. David stepped out, his expression set in a tight scowl, flanked by his lawyer.She had done all she could. After failing to secure help from the company’s legal team, she had arranged a private lawyer for him and stayed with him through the exhausting process. But it hadn’t changed much.Yvonne’s father had opened a case against David, and while there wasn’t enough physical evidence to detain him, the investigation was ongoing. David had been warned—he could be summoned at any time.Just as David took his first breath of fresh air, a furious voice cut through the tense atmosphere."You used my daughter."David barely had time to react before Yvonne’s father stormed toward him, each step fueled by pure rage. His cane tapped harshly against the pavement, his other hand pointing a trembling finger straight at

    A lot had happened that day.Micheal had barely left the twins’ room when he received an urgent call from his personal assistant, Sandra. The moment he answered, her voice carried a mix of urgency and disbelief.“There’s chaos at the company, sir. Something big happened early this morning.”Micheal frowned, gripping his phone tighter. “What kind of chaos?”Sandra took a deep breath before delivering the bombshell.“It’s about David… He was arrested.”For a moment, Micheal said nothing, his mind processing the unexpected turn of events.Apparently, Yvonne’s father hadn’t been able to stomach the full scope of what his daughter had suffered. And unlike before—when he had turned his back on her—this time, he had taken action. He had wasted no time in seeking legal justice, making sure David paid for what he had put Yvonne through.The arrest had sent shockwaves through the company.

    The Twins' Innocent ConfrontationAs soon as Micheal left the twins' room, Rebecca took a deep breath, regaining her composure. Now that she knew the truth, her purpose had shifted—this wasn’t just about being a temporary nanny anymore. She was genuinely ready to care for the children in Yvonne’s absence.With renewed confidence, she approached the twins, a warm smile gracing her lips."Let’s get you two ready for school."But the moment her words left her mouth, she noticed a familiar exchange of glances between Jack and Lily—silent yet unmistakably purposeful, like they were communicating without speaking.Then Jack turned his gaze to her, his small brows furrowed. His voice, though soft, carried an unmistakable weight of accusation."Why did you lie to Mommy?"Rebecca's heart skipped a beat. The innocent yet mature expression on their faces made her falter, the sheer seriousness of their demeanor contrasting with their adorable features.She swallowed, suddenly feeling exposed unde

    A Father's RedemptionThe embrace lingered for a few precious moments, a silent exchange of love and reassurance before Micheal kissed the twins' foreheads. He pulled back gently, his hands cupping their small faces as he gazed into their wide, trusting eyes. Before speaking, he subtly wiped away the remnants of his tears, determined to steady himself."What I want you two to know is that your mother loves you so much," Micheal said firmly, his voice carrying the weight of his emotions. "She was super sad and sick when she thought she lost you two. So, have it in mind that she would never, under any circumstances, leave you again."Jack and Lily nodded, their tiny faces etched with a seriousness that melted Micheal’s heart. He would have smiled at their cuteness if not for the crushing despair that lingered in his chest. What he was about to say next mattered more than anything.He took a deep breath. "So, what I want to say is… if you two want to go to her now, she won’t say no. But

    The Weight of Truth The morning light filtering through the curtains should have felt warm, comforting even, but it did nothing to ease the cold tension hanging in the room. Rebecca’s finger hovered over the call button, her pulse quickening as she struggled to think of another way to handle the children’s sudden withdrawal. The silence from the twins was suffocating, their usual bright energy drained into something distant and unreadable. Just as she was about to press the dial, a deep, weary voice stopped her. "Don’t call her." Rebecca jolted, her grip on the phone tightening. She turned swiftly, her gaze landing on Micheal, who stood at the doorway, his face shadowed with exhaustion. His usually sharp eyes were dim, weighed down by sleeplessness and something much deeper—regret. Without another word, Rebecca ended the call, slipping the phone into her pocket as she stepped aside. She recognized the authority in Micheal’s voice; this was a conversation meant only for him and his

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    Morning Dilemma—Rebecca’s Frustration

    The night stretched on, thick with unease, shadows pressing against the walls of Micheal’s home. He sat in his dimly lit study, the amber glow of his whiskey swirling in the glass he hadn’t taken a sip from. His hands clenched the armrests of his chair, knuckles white from the pressure.He was drowning in emotions too intense, too suffocating.Anger, at the sheer audacity of David and Sammy—the realization that Yvonne’s misery had been orchestrated for a business deal.Confusion, at how he had been placed at the centre of it all without his knowledge.And above all else—fear.Fear of what this truth meant. Fear of the possibility that he had unknowingly been the reason Yvonne’s life had unravelled. The woman he loved. The woman he had vowed to protect.Was he her nightmare?He wanted to reject it, to push the thoughts away, but they wrapped around his mind like chains, dragging him deeper into torment.He needed answers.If his mother had orchestrated this, then she was not above lyin

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    The Catalyst

    The room was thick with silence—so heavy it felt suffocating. The air itself seemed to pause, unwilling to carry the weight of Yvonne’s confession any further.Yvonne had just summarised everything she had been through, leaving out the fact that Micheal happened to be the man who had been the catalyst of her horror. The man had unknowingly become a tool to ruin her life.Across from her, her parents sat frozen, their expressions carved from pure shock. Her mother’s lips trembled, her eyes wide and unblinking, while her father’s face had lost all its color, drained of warmth, of disbelief, of every ounce of composure he once held.Two minutes passed. Not a single word was spoken.Then, like a fragile thread snapping under unbearable tension, her mother let out a heart-wrenching sob. She clutched her chest, shaking her head as if she could somehow will away the truth. Tears streamed down her face, and with a broken cry, she lurched toward Yvonne, wrapping her in the fiercest, most despe

    The moment Yvonne stepped through the grand gates of her family’s estate, a heavy weight settled onto her chest, pressing down like an invisible force threatening to suffocate her. The sight of the familiar stone pathways, the towering oak trees lining the driveway, and the grand house standing against the twilight sky—all of it should have been comforting. But instead, it shattered her. This was home. The place where she had once felt safe, loved, untouchable. And yet, it had also been the place where she had been cast aside, left to fend for herself in a world that had swallowed her whole. Her legs barely carried her as she stepped into the house, the familiar scent of lavender and aged wood filling her lungs. The warmth of the golden lights did nothing to chase away the chill in her bones. She was trembling, her hands clutching her coat as if it could shield her from the memories clawing at the edges of her mind. Her mother was the first to see her. “Yvonne?” The voice was s
