123 – TO LOVE, PROTECT, AND CARE
Last Updated:
2025-03-23 11:00:45POV: HENRY
Nothing. No reaction at all.
Her breathing was shallow, almost unnoticeable. She wasn’t crying. And that was what hurt the most. Because when the tears don’t even come, it means the damage has already gone too deep.
I bit the inside of my cheek. Theodor’s words echoed in my mind.
“Our love will heal her.”
Such a bold tone. Naive, even. But that’s what I wanted to believe in.
“I’m going to take care of you,” I said, my voice low but firm. “You don’t have to say anything right now. Just stay here… with me. Let me handle everything.”
She blinked. Slowly. A single tear slid down—quiet, nearly invisible.
Yes, I would do this. Love, care, and protect. It wasn’t an empty promise—it was a decision. Instinctive. Final.

For the first time in a long while, someone was treating me like I had worth.He turned on the hairdryer and began to run the warm air through my hair. His fingers moved with care as he slowly combed my hair, untangling the knots without pulling, as if each touch whispered, You're safe now. I'm here.My eyes burned, but not because of the water. It was the gesture. The care. The tenderness. The way he tried—without even knowing exactly what to do—to show me that I mattered.He stretched out my arms gently, slipping one of his shirts over them. It was huge on me. He dressed me with such care, as if covering my body could also shield it from the shame and pain still cl

POV: LAURENMy stomach twisted. Part of me felt protected by that promise. The other part… terrified. I knew what he wanted to do. And that scared me.“Can we not talk about it today?” I asked in a low voice, trying to keep my anxiety in check. I still needed to find a way to convince him to let go of that thirst for revenge. “I just need peace right now.”Henry studied my face for a moment, then gave me a crooked smile. That smile—his signature one—that always unraveled me.“You’re right,” he murmured, pulling me into a hug. I felt his lips press a calm kiss to the top of my head. “Get some rest, Lauren. I’m here with you.”My eyes burned again. The physical exhaustion was nothing compared to the emotional. And still, sleep felt impossible.“I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep and wak

POV: LAURENI gripped his hand tightly, shaking my head.“Please, just… stay here,” I begged.But the nausea hit again. My body curled in on itself, and everything started all over.“I can’t leave you like this!” he burst out, his voice low but thick with frustration. He ran a hand over his temples, clearly trying to keep himself together. “Lauren… let me take care of you. My way. Please.”I looked at him, my eyes filled with tears, my hands trembling. And I just nodded, unable to say a word.My body was shaking—a mix of exhaustion and fear. I leaned back as I felt his strong hands on my shoulders, holding me gently and securely. Henry helped me to my feet, guiding me patiently to the sink, keeping my hair back while I vomited. His hands moved slowly over my back in a tender gesture, trying to ease the tension b

POV: HENRYTears welled up in her eyes, glistening under the soft light of the room. It was a silent plea—a desperate request to erase every trace of that bastard Ethan. She wanted my presence to surround her, for my skin, my hands, and my voice to be the only things that existed at that moment. She wanted to feel desired, respected, and loved.And I would do exactly that. I would show her what it meant to be treated like something precious.I didn’t need to say a word. Furthermore, I just kissed her.My lips met hers gently, careful not to hurt her already bruised mouth. The salty taste of her tears mixed with the kiss, and I felt a tight, suffocating pressure in my chest. She trembled—not from fear but from restrained emotion, from something she couldn’t quite put into words.My hand moved slowly upward, fingers brushing against her warm skin until they reached her face. I caressed her cheek with my thumb, wiping away a stubborn tear that rolled down. Then I placed a kiss there, whe

POV: HENRYThat scene hit me like a punch to the gut.When did I become a woman’s safe haven?Me. Henry Carter. A cold, impenetrable man who had always believed love was a weakness. And now… now I couldn’t imagine my life without Lauren and Theodor.I kneeled beside the bed, running my fingers over her bruised cheek. The purplish hue against her skin ignited something fierce inside me. Rage.I wanted to kill him.I took a deep breath, suppressing the fury threatening to take over.Furthermore, I grabbed my phone and walked out to the balcony, closing the door behind me before dialing Lucian.He answered on the first ring.“Lucian, I want all the evidence on my brother and sister-in-law’s accident,” I said, my voice cold, without hesitation. “And I need the full report on the break-in at Lauren’s father’s company. I need any indication that he didn’t kill himself—that he was murdered.”There was a tense silence before Lucian finally spoke.“Henry… Kate called me. She said Lauren’s mom

POV: LAURENIt took me a while to start feeling even a little better. To breathe without crying, to sleep without nightmares. But I still didn’t feel safe. The thought of leaving the house paralyzed me. At any moment, Ethan could be nearby. And even with Henry doing everything he could to protect me, the fear still consumed me.He was barely home. She said there were urgent issues at the company, but I knew it wasn’t just that. I saw it in his eyes when he returned. That silent anger, the clenched fists, the bloodshot eyes from exhaustion. It was clear he was dealing with Ethan in some way.I overheard a heated argument between Carter and his lawyers the other day in the office next door. Something about terminating a contract and breaking off funding with PharmaCare Industries. It was serious. In the newspapers, in the muffled conversations of the elite, I heard my name being whispered with either scorn or forced sympathy

POV: LAURENI lost my breath when he pulled away. My hands were still holding his waist, my forehead resting against his chest. I didn’t want him to go.“Can’t you be just half an hour late?” I asked, pouting playfully. I knew I was being childish, but I didn’t care. Furthermore, I just wanted a few more minutes.He let out a low, amused laugh and gently caressed my face with his warm palm, his thumb slowly brushing across my cheek.“You can’t say no to a pregnant woman, or you’ll end up with a style,” I added, half-laughing, half-pleading.“I’ll have to take the risk,” he sighed heavily and pulled me into a tight, strong hug, like he wanted to memorize the feel of my body before he left. His scent, his presence, everything about him made me want to beg him to stay.But inside, something twisted.

POV: LAURENI swallowed hard, my body responding to the comforting warmth of his hand against my face. I clung to that touch, searching for the courage to go through with my plan.“I hope it is.” I confessed, closing my eyes for a moment, trying to ease the tightness in my chest. I pressed his hand closer to my face, as if I needed him to hold me together. “I hope you understand.”When I opened my eyes slowly, I found his brows drawn together. Henry didn’t say anything right away. He just watched me, thoughtful, his eyes scanning every detail of my expression, catching every trace of hesitation. Then a faint smile appeared on his lips. But it wasn’t a casual smile. It was the kind of smile that said he already sensed something was coming—something I wasn’t quite ready to reveal.Without another word, he pulled me into him, his lips finding mine with more hunger, more

POV: VIOLETI froze for a second. My stomach twisted. A chill ran down my spine, followed by a hot, acidic wave rising to my face.“What?!” I screamed, my voice cracking, the shock unraveling me from the inside. “That’s a lie! That bitch is trying to fool everyone again!”“It’s not a lie.” Ravi kept chewing slowly, savoring every second of my reaction. “I saw the first ultrasound. I was around at the beginning of the pregnancy. And, by the timing, she and Henry weren’t together yet.” He let out a short, soulless laugh. “When I hinted that I knew the truth, Lauren freaked out. She cried, stuttered, and totally lost it.”My fingers started tingling. Rage blinded me. That filthy whore could destroy all our plans and ruin my comfortable life.“That damn bitch… pretending to be fragile, innocent, sweet&hellip

POV: VIOLET“Talk, Ravi… I heard you wanted to see me.” My voice came out impatient, forced, as I removed the damn cucumber slices from my eyes and kept my hands extended, fingers stiff, waiting for the manicurist to finish applying the polish.He walked in like he owned the place. That smug smile, his eyes scanning every corner of my living room with a kind of contempt so well-disguised it almost looked like charm. Almost.“You really moved up in life, cousin,” he muttered, his voice slow, dripping with sarcasm, like poison seeping through. “When you said you’d manage to rope in a billionaire, I thought it was just one of your delusions. But you pulled it off. What a pathetic show.”I rolled my eyes and scoffed.“Did you come here to be jealous?” I shot back, with a mocking smile I knew would trigger the same fury in him that he stirred in me. I

POV: LAUREN“Forget about it, Lauren,” Henry murmured in a low, husky voice, caressing my bare arms with firm fingers, sending immediate shivers all over my body. “Mia didn’t get what she wanted that night. And she’s going to pay for every damn second of it. I’ve already filed a lawsuit against her and James. The media may have bought that manipulative liar’s story, but I have enough evidence to destroy them both.”I closed my eyes for a second, feeling the weight of reality mix with everything I feared. I opened my mouth, hesitant, trying to find steadiness in my voice.“And you think she won’t fight back?” I asked, sitting up in bed, sliding my fingers across his bare chest. The touch felt natural yet full of tension. My fingers trembled slightly, and still, he shuddered under the contact, as if every gesture of mine still affected him deeply.“That doesn’t matter to me,” he replied firmly, and in one swift move

POV: LAURENI closed my eyes, biting my lips, trying to catch my breath, but the words slipped out in a trembling whisper, full of emotion:“I accept...” I managed to say in a breathy, needy murmur.I rested my head on his shoulder, searching for his face. Our eyes met for a brief second before his lips crashed into mine with raw hunger. The kiss was wet, deep, desperate. We moaned at the same time, and in that moment, he thrust into me all at once, filling me completely. I let out a long, drawn-out moan, pushing my hips back, wanting more, wanting everything.“I love you, Henry Carter,” I confessed without fear, between heavy breaths, feeling my body open entirely for him.He turned me to face him with ease, lifted me off the floor like I weighed nothing, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. Our bodies were pressed together—skin to skin, sweat to sweat. When h
THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY 168 - DO YOU STILL LOVE ME?
POV: LAURENI took a step back, but he moved forward too, until he pinned me against the cold wall of the room. The contrast between his warm touch and the hard plaster behind me sent a shiver through my entire body.His eyes were dark, intense, almost wild. Lust, desire, passion, anger, pain—all mixed in a stare that pierced right through me.“Do you love me?” the question came out dry, direct.“Henry, that doesn’t matter right now. This is crazy.” I tried to argue, but my voice came out weak, hesitant.“Do you love me?” he repeated, even more firmly. The tone was commanding, impossible to ignore. I felt a tremor run through my body. The wall behind me seemed to vanish under the weight of his presence.I closed my eyes for a second. The knot in my throat tightened even more. I couldn’t lie anymore. Not to myself. Not t

POV: LAUREN“What I should have done on the night of our date… when everything went wrong,” Henry replied, his voice heavy with intensity.I frowned, confused, watching as he opened a small box. Inside, there was a ring with a brilliant blue stone that reflected the light in the room. It was mesmerizing. Beside it, a folded note with my handwriting.“What is this?” I exclaimed, a lump forming in my throat. My hands visibly trembled as I brought them to my lips, in shock.“Our marriage was forged through a contract,” he began, his voice now lower but steady. “But I want it to be real, Lauren. I had this ring made especially for you. These stones are rare and unique, just like you.”My tears started falling uncontrollably, burning my eyes. There was so much about him that confused me: the provocative touch, the almost cruel desire, the domin
THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY 166 – COMPLETELY SURRENDERED TO THE CEO
POV: LAURENHis hands slowly slid up my bare thigh, firm and commanding. The shirt I was wearing—his shirt—lifted gradually, revealing my skin as his fingers pressed with intention, claiming territory. The loose fabric, which looked more like a dress on me, rose along with the tension spreading through my body. And he didn’t stop kissing me. Henry’s mouth was locked on mine—hot, demanding, hungry. His tongue explored mine with such urgency, like he wanted to erase every boundary between us and take everything I was.A shiver ran up my spine when I felt his fingers slide into the crease between my thighs, teasing with soft, circular strokes over my most sensitive spot. My body arched, trembling beneath him, and my lip caught between my teeth to hold back a moan. My lungs gasped for air between one sigh and the next.“Henry…” I whispered, my voice weak, shaking, fighting against the storm
THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY 165 – HOW IT SHOULD BE
POV: LAUREN“Henry, please… you’re exhausted. Today was a hard day.” I tried to stay calm, but my voice cracked. I just wanted to stop him. Furthermore, I wanted to silence him before his words shattered me completely.“It’s been hard since we broke up!” he burst out, his voice firm and full of pain, throwing the truth at me without any filter. My body frozen. My eyes widened, and I felt the blood drain from my face. “Theodor ran away because he couldn’t handle the pain of not seeing us together anymore. And I know exactly how much that hurts. Every single day, Lauren. I hate coming home and not finding you here. I hate the silence. Furthermore, I hate not hearing Theo’s laughter echoing through the rooms while you two played. Furthermore, I hate this empty, cold bed—where you used to throw yourselves into my arms, barely leaving me space but filling me with so much more love. I hate prete
THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY 164 – JUST ONE REQUEST, STAY WITH ME
POV: LAURENI watched him grab two towels and one of his oversized shirts—the kind that always wrapped around my whole body.“Go dry off and warm up, please. I don’t want you getting sick, especially now… it wouldn’t be good for you or the baby,” Henry said, his voice softer and more careful than usual.I felt my stomach tighten when I heard him mention the baby. Furthermore, I was speechless for a few seconds.“You don’t have to, Carter,” I murmured with a weak smile. “I… I’ll go back home.”Even as I said that, my body was lightly trembling, my feet still damp, clothes clinging to my skin. I was tired, emotionally drained—but what hurt the most was the way he made me feel, just by the way he looked at me. As if he was saying everything he couldn’t put into words.“It’s
