The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 88 Shattered Truths
Hollis couldn’t breathe.The weight of his guilt pressed down on him, suffocating him with every breath he tried to take. His chest felt tight, as if the air had turned thick and heavy, and no matter how deeply he inhaled, it wasn’t enough. His hands trembled, clenching into fists at his sides, but the shaking wouldn’t stop. It was as if his body was betraying him, revealing the truth he couldn’t escape.The words he had spoken still lingered in the room, each syllable like a stone in his chest. "I killed her."He wanted to look away from the reflection of his misery in the window, but it was too much. His vision blurred, and his heart ached with a rawness that felt endless. He had spent so long trying to bury it—the guilt, the pain, the truth. He’d told himself that if he just kept moving and kept putting one foot in front of the other, it would eventually fade. But it didn’t. It never would.His voice cracked, hoarse from the strain of holding back tears. “I thought... I thought if

****Hollis****The words hit me like a freight train.“She was poisoned.”I stared at the doctor, my brain refusing to process what he was saying. Lauren wasn’t poisoned. She died in the crash. That was the truth I’d lived with for years—the weight I carried every single day.“This has to be a mistake,” I muttered, my voice barely sounding like my own.“I’m afraid it’s not,” the doctor replied, his tone flat. “The toxicology report shows traces of a rare, slow-acting poison in her system. It weakened her heart considerably. While the crash was still a factor, she wouldn’t have survived in her condition. The poisoning was deliberate.”Deliberate.The word was a knife to my chest, cutting through the carefully constructed walls I’d built to contain my guilt. All this time, I thought I’d killed her. My decisions, my choices—I believed they had led to her death. But now there was someone else to blame. Someone had done this to her.“Hollis?” Hailey’s voice broke through the haze, her hand

****Hollis****The pain hit first. A sharp, searing burn in my side that made my vision blur for a moment. I looked down, blood soaking through my shirt, the dark stain spreading rapidly. The wet warmth made my stomach lurch, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t afford to.I gritted my teeth, gasping through the sharpness, but I had no choice. Hailey was out there. Somewhere. The name echoed in my mind like a drumbeat, keeping me going."Come on," I muttered under my breath, forcing one foot in front of the other. "Keep moving. You can’t stop now."The night air bit into my exposed skin, but the pain was secondary. Every step felt like dragging myself through cement. My legs were growing weaker, my vision darkening at the edges, but I couldn’t stop. Not when Hailey was out there, unaware of the danger.A shadow darted ahead, just out of reach. There. I saw it again—someone, or something, weaving through the trees. They knew I was after them. They had to."Dammit!" I grunted, pushing myself

Hailey paced in front of Kevin, her heart hammering in her chest. “What do you mean he’s in danger? You’re not making any sense.”Kevin stood there, calm as always, but there was an edge to his voice she hadn’t heard before. “Trust me, Hailey. We need to leave. Now.”“No,” she snapped, the words burning her throat. “You’re not telling me everything. I’m not going anywhere until you explain—what danger? Where is Hollis?”Kevin’s eyes darkened. “The kind of danger you don’t want to know about. People are looking for him—dangerous people. And they’ll come for you too if we don’t move.”Her mind raced. “Who are these people? Why didn’t you warn me sooner?” She wanted to shout, to demand answers, but she wasn’t sure who she could trust anymore.Kevin’s jaw tightened. “Because I didn’t think you’d understand. You don’t need to know everything right now.”That was the final straw. She didn’t trust Kevin—couldn’t trust him—but she wasn’t about to sit back and wait for someone to decide her fa

****Hailey****The woods closed in around me, every sound sharper, every shadow longer. My breath came in ragged bursts as I clutched Max closer to my chest. Summer’s small hand trembled in mine, her fear reflecting my own.Kevin marched ahead, his eyes scanning the dark. I didn’t know where we were going—or if we’d even make it there alive.“Kevin,” I hissed, struggling to keep up. “You’re not saying anything! What’s happening? Where’s Hollis?”He glanced back, his jaw set in a grim line. “He’s alive, but we’re not out of this yet. Keep moving.”I wanted to scream. My heart had been lodged in my throat since he burst into the house, bloodied and urgent, telling us to run. And now, the only thing I knew for certain was that danger lurked everywhere.But then, out of the shadows, a voice froze me in place.“Hailey.”It was low, calm, and terrifyingly familiar.I whipped around, my eyes narrowing on the figure emerging from the trees. When she stepped into the moonlight, her sleek blond

Hollis’s POV Pain tore through my chest with every breath, each step like dragging fire through my lungs. The woods seemed endless, shadows stretching and twisting like phantoms. Blood seeped from the wound beneath my jacket, warm and sticky against my skin. I wasn’t sure what hurt more—the knife buried in my chest earlier or the words that seemed to be consuming my thoughts: “Your wife didn’t die because of the accident, Hollis. She was poisoned—long before that crash.” Lauren’s face flashed in my mind, her laughter, the way she looked at me with love before it all fell apart. The accident that took her life wasn’t an accident at all. It wasn’t my fault. But now, someone wanted me to believe I killed her, wanted me broken and distracted. And worse—they were after my kids. “Damn it,” I hissed, stumbling into a clearing. “Hollis.” The voice was sharp and familiar. I looked up to see Derrick stepping out of the shadows, a rifle slung across his shoulder, his face hard as s

The voice sliced through the room like a blade—cold, familiar, with an edge that made my blood run cold. My gut tightened, my pulse quickened, but I held myself together. Not yet. Not now. “Did you really think it would be that easy?” My hand clenched at my side, fingers itching for the grip of my gun, but I didn’t draw it. Not yet. “Justin,” I growled, barely recognizing the low growl in my voice. Every muscle in my body went rigid. My damn nephew. The one who had always been a thorn in my side, the one who resented me for everything I had, everything he thought should have been his. He stepped into the dim light, that same self-satisfied smirk on his face—so smug, so certain, like he owned the world. Or at least thought he did. I stepped forward, barely able to keep the rage from boiling over. I wanted to strike him. Right here, right now. But I knew better. Justin wanted me to lose my cool. He wanted me to make the first move. He was playing me. “Why the hell are you

Hollis’s POVThe room was suffocating, its silence pressing against my chest like a vice. The dim light from the single bulb flickered erratically, casting shadows that stretched and contorted along the cracked walls. It felt fitting—this place, this moment—reflecting the chaos roiling in my mind.And there he stood, Justin. His posture was relaxed, his smirk smug, but his eyes burned with an unhinged fire. A predator circling its prey.“You always had a knack for drama,” I said, my voice low, carefully measured. “But dragging Hailey into this? That’s a new low. Even for you.”Justin chuckled, his hands casually sliding into his pockets. “Oh, Uncle, don’t be so self-righteous. You’ve been using people as pawns your whole life. Consider this... poetic justice.”The urge to lunge at him burned in my veins, but I stayed rooted, my fists clenched at my sides. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing me lose control. That’s what he wanted.And then her voice cut through the tension l

The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 118 The Hunt Begins
Hailey*****The cold night air bit into my skin as we stepped out of the crumbling building, the taste of dust and decay lingering in my mouth. Louise’s words—his mocking laughter—still hung in the air, a dark echo that clung to us like smoke, refusing to fade in the thickening silence. Hollis moved like a man possessed, his hand gripping mine with the kind of strength that warned me not to let go. His pace was relentless, his eyes blazing with fury, but there was something else in them—something darker, something I had never seen before."I won’t let him win," Hollis muttered, the words barely a whisper but filled with a chilling promise. "I won’t let him take them."I knew he wasn’t just talking about Summer and Max. This wasn’t just a fight for their safety—this was about his past, the ghosts that had been haunting him for years. And somewhere, deep down, I feared those ghosts might swallow him whole before we could save anyone. Louise had been playing a game with Hollis for years,
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 117 Inside Louise's Mind
The hospital corridor was quiet, save for the faint hum of fluorescent lights. Louise Lacroix shuffled into the visitor’s lounge, the stillness of the room a rare comfort. The polished wood of the cane in his hand gleamed faintly in the dim light, its tap against the tile a sharp counterpoint to the silence. He settled into the worn leather chair, his weary body sinking into it with a sigh. His reflection in the glass was a ghost of a man—pale, gaunt, a shadow of the power he once wielded. But his mind remained sharp, still a force to be reckoned with.As he stared out the window at the bustling city below, his thoughts turned inward, a familiar game of strategy playing out in his mind. The Lacroix empire—his legacy—was his greatest triumph. And like any great strategist, he viewed those around him not as family, but as pieces on a chessboard. Every move, every sacrifice, had been for this—power, control, dominance.The echoes of past decisions reverberated in his mind, each one etche
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 116 Hollis's Dominion
Hailey****Louise’s bitter laughter echoed off the cracked walls like a cruel symphony. I clung to Hollis, still trembling from the attack, though my heart now raced for an entirely different reason—the impending truth, no matter how dark.Hollis stood rigid beside me, his fists clenched and his jaw tight. His gaze bore into Louise with unrelenting fury. "If you’ve got something to say, say it," he growled. "Stop playing games."Louise tilted his head, his bloody lips curling into a smirk. He seemed to revel in the tension, feeding off our anguish. "Very well," he hissed, his voice a venomous whisper. "You want the truth? It starts with Henry—your father, my son. The man who, in your eyes, was a failure. But did you ever ask yourself why I hate him? Why I’ve made it my mission to destroy not just him, but you too?"Hollis flinched, his breath hitching. "I don’t care about your grudges," he spat. "You’re a monster. That’s all I need to know."Louise’s laughter returned, quieter but no
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 115 Family Feud
Hailey****The darkness inched closer, creeping like a shadow over my vision. My lungs burned for air as Louise’s grip tightened, his fingers digging into my neck with terrifying precision. I gasped, struggling against the crushing hold, my head spinning, but his cold voice echoed in my mind like a hammer striking steel."Let Hollis see what happens when someone messes with me," Louise whispered, his breath foul and mocking in my ear.My fingers clawed at his wrist, desperate to break free, but my strength was fading. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. A distant part of me heard the faint buzz of my phone in my pocket—Hollis’s message. "I’m coming, Hailey. Just hold on." But could I hold on?Just as the edges of my vision blurred completely, a deafening crash broke through the suffocating silence. The door exploded open with such force that the hinges flew off the frame. A blur of motion followed—a dark figure charging toward me.Louise’s grip loosened for just a moment, and I drew i
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 114 Hailey's Last Stand
Hailey***The weight of Louise's words pressed down on me like a physical force. The video of my children replayed in my mind, Summer’s protective embrace around Max, her tiny face drawn with fear and determination. The image of their frightened eyes made my heart break all over again. I had to act quickly, but I couldn't do this alone.I felt the cold sweat on the back of my neck as I stared at the phone, the taunting laughter still echoing in my mind. I had to tell Hollis. I had no choice. He had to know about Louise’s ultimatum. The thought of what I was about to do gnawed at me, the lies and the manipulation, but I was a mother—my children needed me.I dialed his number, but my fingers trembled too much for the call to go through smoothly. When I finally heard his voice, it cracked the tight, suffocating knot in my chest."Hailey, what’s wrong?" Hollis asked, his voice a sharp contrast to the calm I was trying to maintain."Louise," I whispered, swallowing hard. "He has them.""Ha
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 113 The Clock Is Ticking
****Hailey****The hospital room was eerily silent after Hollis left, his absence creating a void that felt almost physical. I sat back down, every muscle in my body screaming in protest. My chest throbbed, a cruel reminder of the gunshot wound that had put me here in the first place. But my mind was far from the pain—it was on my children.Summer and Max were out there, scared, alone, and depending on us. Hollis was determined to bring them back, and I had no doubt he would stop at nothing. But I couldn’t just sit here, idle and helpless. I reached for the phone on the nightstand and dialed the one number I thought might help."Kevin?" I asked, my voice trembling as I tried to steady it."Hailey? What’s wrong? Are you okay?" Kevin’s familiar voice filled the silence, concern evident in every word."It’s the kids," I said, swallowing hard against the lump in my throat. "Summer and Max. They’re gone. Derick took them to the safe house, but now they’ve disappeared."Kevin was silent for
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 112 They are gone
Hailey****The tension in the air was thick, like the hospital room was closing in on me, each breath shallow and difficult. I watched as Hollis stormed out of the room, his footsteps echoing down the hall, distant and rapid. The door slammed shut behind him with a finality that left my chest tight.I should’ve stopped him, but I knew better. He had to process it, even if it hurt. Summer and Max—gone. I squeezed my eyes shut, fighting the suffocating panic. I had to stay strong. For them. For Hollis.I sat up in bed, pain coursing through my chest, but I pushed it aside. This wasn’t about me anymore. It was about getting my kids back. I couldn’t just lie here, helpless. I needed to act.I managed to pull myself out of the bed, the room spinning slightly, but I steadied myself against the wall. I was weak, but there was no time to waste. I needed to be there for Hollis, to hold on to whatever strength I had left. As I crossed to the doorway, I saw him. He was standing at the end of the
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 111 Shattered Yet Whole
Hollis*****The sterile, whitewashed walls of the hospital loomed as I made my way through the dimly lit corridor. The muted beeping of machines and the soft murmurs of nurses felt suffocating, each sound dragging me closer to a place I wasn’t ready to face. My steps faltered as I reached the door to Hailey’s room. I stood there for a moment, my hand trembling on the handle. I didn’t know if I could go inside.The night’s events had carved deep gouges into my soul. My uncle’s words haunted me like a ghost, each syllable echoing: You’re already broken.But I wasn’t alone. Not really.I opened the door, and the sight of her hit me like a tidal wave. Hailey sat propped up on the hospital bed, her auburn hair spilling over her shoulders, her face pale but resolute. Bandages peeked from beneath her hospital gown—a stark reminder of the nightmare she had endured. Yet her eyes—those fierce, stormy eyes—locked onto mine with unshakable strength.“You look like hell,” she said softly, a faint
The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 110 Alone All alone
The cold night air slammed into me as the car door shut behind me. Kevin had left without a word, sensing my need to be alone. I didn’t blame him; I needed space to breathe, to think, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was suffocating. The weight of the confrontation with my uncle was a physical thing, an invisible pressure on my chest that made it hard to move, hard to think. I stood in front of the building for a moment, letting the silence settle around me. The city buzzed in the distance, oblivious to the storm inside me. My mind, though, was a battlefield. My uncle’s words replayed over and over again, each time sharper, more cutting. You’ll lose everything, and you’ll die alone. Just like your father. Alone. Broken. I felt his presence in my bones, his fury a shadow that loomed over every moment. There was no escaping him, no running from the storm he was brewing. And the worst part? I wasn’t sure I had the strength to face it. I walked aimlessly, needing the motion
