Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 209: Testify
Moana“The police are downstairs,” the old housekeeper said, sounding both confused and concerned, and a little sheepish as she surely knew what she had just walked into. “They want to speak to you.”Edrick and I suddenly looked at each other in shock. “I’ll go,” he said, grabbing his shirt off of the floor and putting it on. “You can stay here, Moana.”But Selina shook her head and pointed at me. “They want to talk to her. They asked specifically for Moana.”As Selina spoke, my eyes suddenly widened. Surely the police wanted to talk to me about Ethan and Kelly, but why now? They really came in the pouring rain? Couldn’t they have called first? Edrick, who seemed to be thinking the same thing, narrowed his eyes. “Well, it’s not a good time,” he said. “Why didn’t they call first instead of just showing up?”The old housekeeper shrugged. “I don’t know. But they asked specifically for Moana.”Edrick looked at me again and opened his mouth to speak, but I shook my head and grabbed my swe
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 210: The Interrogation
MoanaWhen we arrived at the police station, Edrick helped me out of the cop car and held me closely as we walked inside. Once we were inside, I immediately noticed that the other people who were there suddenly got very quiet and started giving Edrick and I strange looks. I tried to ignore it, but it was hard to do that when I had spent the last two days at work being whispered about. Only this time, I didn’t know whether they were whispering about my “unluckiness” as a late bloomer or whether they were whispering about the warehouse incident.Either way, I felt myself getting somewhat sick as the officer led us down a narrow and fluorescent-lit hallway to the interrogation room.We stopped outside the door and he opened it, letting me in. It was a small room with a metal table in the center, a couple of chairs, and a fluorescent light on the ceiling. I could see a camera in the corner of the ceiling and a “mirror”, which I was certain was a one-way mirror. I instantly felt even more
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 211: The Situation Room
EdrickI watched the police officer take Moana into the interrogation room and shut the door in my face before I could even really protest.“She’ll be fine,” I whispered to myself. But did I really believe that?What happened to Moana and Ella was extremely traumatic. At least Ella didn’t have to remember what happened at her young age, but Moana… She would never forget it. I had already seen the way that it was affecting her since it happened. During normal conversations, she would go elsewhere. Whenever the events in the warehouse were brought up, her face would darken and her eyes would gloss over, like she was reliving it. I tried to help snap her out of it whenever I noticed it happening, but I was worried that she would freak out in there and I wouldn’t be around to help her. I highly doubted that the police officer would know what to do, or if he would even care. To them, Moana was just a piece of evidence to collect before Ethan could be convicted. That was it.For a long time
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 212: The Golden Knife
MoanaOne moment, I was in the interrogation room with the police officer sitting across from me.“Ms. Fowler?” he asked, standing from his seat with a worried look on his face. “Are you alright?”My eyes were wide and my hands were shaking. I was standing with my back against the wall, feeling as though I couldn’t get a full breath into my lungs. The room felt as though it was closing in on me, and I felt trapped inside like an animal caught in a net.And then, suddenly, I felt my knees buckle under me. I fell to the ground, and then everything went dark with only Edrick being the very last thing on my mind.…When I woke up, I was in a dark room. In fact, it was pitch black… But when I held my hands up in front of my face, I found that I could see my own hands perfectly. The room itself was black, like a void.“Hello?” I called out. My voice felt thick and heavy. There was no echo, and no response.I called out again. This time, after a few minutes of waiting, there was finally an a
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 213: Sleeping Beauty
EdrickWhen I finally burst into the interrogation room, I found the two officers crouched over Moana as she was lying motionless on the ground with her eyes rolled back in her head. I shoved my way past them and scooped her up off of the floor, then ordered them to call an ambulance immediately, which they did.The ambulance came quickly, and before I knew it I was sitting in the back of it and holding Moana’s limp hand while they drove her to the hospital.“She went into a state of temporary shock,” the doctor said at the hospital, taking his stethoscope out of his ears and hanging it back around his neck with a sigh. “I believe her wolf put her into a minor coma to cope with the stress, in order to protect her and the baby. But there’s no knowing exactly how long she’ll be asleep.”“What do you mean?” I asked. “You don’t know when she’ll wake up?”The doctor shook his head. “No. I’m sorry. The best we can do is monitor her and try to get things like her blood pressure back down to
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 214: The Omen
MoanaWhen I woke up, I found myself in a dimly lit hospital room with Edrick sleeping on my lap. I was no longer floating in a void, nor was Michael above me with a knife. Instead, I was safe and sound with my mate by my side.But nothing felt right. That dream was too vivid to just be a machination of my own anxiety… It felt like an omen. Was Michael coming for me with that knife, or was it really all just a dream made up in my own mind?Suddenly, Edrick must have sensed that I was awake because he jerked his head up and opened his eyes wide.“Moana,” he whispered. He lurched forward suddenly, looking relieved, and kissed me deeply. I was comforted, but also taken aback at the same time, and when we pulled apart I gave him a puzzled look.“What happened?” I asked quietly. My throat felt dry and cracked.Edrick shook his head. “You’ve been asleep for three days,” he responded, his own voice shaking. “But you’re okay. You’re okay now.”I felt my eyes widen as Edrick spoke. “Edrick, I
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 215: Home Sweet Home
MoanaJust as the doctor promised, I was prescribed some medicine for the baby and for sleep and then I was sent home later that day once my bloodwork and vitals all came back within a normal range. The entire way home, Edrick didn’t let go of my hand. Every time I glanced over at him, it seemed as though he was looking at me, and that was comforting to me. The memory of our time spent together in my bed before I was taken to the police station stayed in my mind, which was a welcome distraction from everything else. It felt as though there was no longer a wall between us, and I hoped that everything would smooth itself out from there.When we arrived back at the penthouse, Ella came running as soon as the elevator doors opened and practically flew into my arms.“Moana!” she cried, sobbing into my chest. “I thought you were never gonna come home!”“It’s okay, baby,” I cooed as I stroked her hair and held her tightly and blinked back my own tears. “I’m home now.” I could only imagine th
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 216: Worried Sick
Moana“Moana… What happened?” Selina asked as she looked around at the mess in my room with wide eyes. Scattered all around us were countless violent, graphic drawings that I somehow scribbled out in an unconscious state, even though I had absolutely no recollection of any of it. I didn’t know how to respond, because I didn’t even know what happened. All I could do was stand there, frozen, and stare at Selina.Selina slowly came into my room and set the tray of food down. “Are you okay?” she whispered.I nodded. As I did, I already felt that all-too-familiar sensation of hot tears pricking at the backs of my eyes. “I don’t know what happened,” I finally managed to say. “One moment I was just sitting in my bed and drawing in my sketchbook, and then it was like I blinked and my whole room was just covered in… whatever this is.”The old housekeeper looked around with a wide-eyed gaze for a moment. “I’m so sorry,” I said quietly as I began to stoop to pick up all of the discarded papers.
