The Billionaire's Hot Nanny 99 GunShot
****Hollis****The world froze, a suffocating silence thickening the air around me. Every heartbeat thundered in my chest, each one heavier than the last. My vision narrowed, locking onto them—shadowy figures emerging from the dark, guns drawn, eyes burning with malice. But I wasn’t looking at them. My eyes were fixed on Hailey.She stood there, fierce and protective, pushing Max and Summer behind her. Her face was a mask of determination, but I saw it—the flicker of fear, just beneath the surface. She wasn’t invincible.And it wasn’t enough.The sound of the gunshot shattered everything.Time stopped. Everything ground to a halt, and all I could hear was the sickening pop of the bullet cutting through the night. Hailey crumpled like a ragdoll, her body jerking violently as the impact hit. Blood blossomed from her chest, staining the ground beneath her. I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. The world tilted, and I felt my stomach drop.“No!” My voice ripped through the air in a guttural

The world felt like it had gone silent. The gunshots, the chaos—it all faded into the background. All that mattered was Hailey.I watched her, her body trembling in my arms, blood staining my clothes, her breathing ragged. The weight of her in my arms felt heavier than the world itself. Every second that ticked by without her fully conscious felt like a hammer striking my chest.I couldn’t lose her. Not like this. Not now.“Hollis,” she whispered, barely able to form the words. Her eyes flickered open just enough to meet mine, dim, almost lifeless, but there was still a spark in them—a desperate, silent plea to hold on.“Stay with me, Hailey,” I begged, my voice cracking under the weight of everything I was feeling. My hands shook as I cupped her face, trying to keep her with me, keep her alive.She didn’t answer, but I could feel the faintest squeeze of her fingers around mine. It was weak—so weak—but it was something.“I’m not letting you go,” I growled, my chest heaving. “You’re no

Hollis My breath caught as Justin crumpled to the ground, the bullet cleanly piercing his chest. The world around me seemed to freeze, the silence so profound it swallowed everything. For a heartbeat, I stood there, unable to tear my gaze away from his lifeless form, his body sprawled at my feet.But the tension didn’t dissipate; it thickened. My pulse pounded in my ears, and my mind scrambled to make sense of what had just happened.Hailey, fragile and trembling in my arms, shifted slightly, pulling my focus back to her. But I couldn’t let myself be consumed by her suffering—not yet. She was barely clinging to life, and every instinct told me we needed to move, to escape. But I couldn’t let my guard down, not for a second.A shadow shifted in front of me, and I instinctively braced for whatever danger awaited. But the figure that emerged from the darkness was the last one I ever expected to see.Ben.Hailey’s abusive ex.The man who had terrorized her, hurt her, broken her—he was st

HollisThe sound of the gun cocking behind us sent a jolt of raw adrenaline through my veins. My arms instinctively tightened around Hailey, shielding her frail body as though sheer willpower could make us vanish into thin air. She was slipping away, her breaths shallow, her warmth fading. If I stopped, even for a second, I’d lose her.Behind me, the scuffle intensified. Fists cracked against flesh, and grunts of pain echoed in the narrow alley. Ben’s voice, sharp and commanding, rang out through the chaos. “Run, Hollis! Don’t stop!”Every instinct screamed at me to turn around, to face whoever was closing in on us. But Hailey’s faint, trembling whimper broke through my hesitation. My mission was clear: get her to safety.I bolted through the labyrinthine alleyways, my breath ragged and labored. The icy air tore at my lungs, but I couldn’t stop. Heavy boots pounded the ground behind me, relentless in their pursuit.The path opened into a grimy courtyard enclosed by towering, decrepit

Hollis***Justin staggered forward, his hand trembling as he pointed the gun at me. Blood streamed down his chest, his shirt soaked through with the evidence of his wounds. His eyes burned with hatred and something darker—triumph. Damn him. How is he still standing after being shot multiple times? My mind screamed at me to move, to react, but my legs stayed rooted. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the worst.“You think this ends here, Hollis?” Justin rasped, his voice jagged, faint, yet filled with venom. “You’ve already lost... This is just the beginning.”His knees buckled, and before I could respond, his body crumpled to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. The gun slipped from his grasp, clattering against the cold pavement. Blood pooled beneath him, spreading like an ominous stain, his smirk locked in place—a ghostly reminder of his malice.My breath hitched, my heart pounding. What did he mean? What had I already lost? I replayed his words in my head, but they were

Hollis****“How much worse can it get?” I asked, my voice hollow, drained of emotion but thick with fear.Kevin’s response was low, the growl of a man who knew a storm was coming, one that couldn’t be avoided. “Worse than you’re prepared for, Hollis. You need to be ready for war.”I nodded, the gravity of his words sinking in like lead in my stomach. I had faced danger before, but nothing could have prepared me for this—the gnawing sense of helplessness, the sharp sting of uncertainty. Hailey’s life was hanging by a thread, and the twisted mess left by Justin’s death was unraveling at breakneck speed.Every minute felt like an hour, and as I sat there, trying to steady my racing heart, I could feel the darkness closing in. The calm before the storm had never felt more like the inevitable approach of death itself.Kevin’s phone buzzed, breaking the fragile silence. He glanced at the screen, his face hardening with something I couldn’t quite place. He stood abruptly, his voice a low mur

Hollis***The sound of the machines flatlining echoed in my ears, a deafening silence that stole the air from my lungs. Time seemed to freeze, each second stretching endlessly as the weight of loss crushed my chest.“No… No!” I whispered, my voice raw, barely a breath. My hand trembled as I reached for Hailey’s lifeless one. Her skin felt cold, an unbearable reminder that everything I feared was coming true.Kevin moved quickly, his expression unreadable but his actions swift as he barked orders to the medical team. “Get her back! Now!” His voice had the edge of a man who'd dealt with chaos a thousand times, but there was a desperation in it I couldn’t ignore.The room erupted into chaos, but my mind couldn’t keep up. It was as if the world was crumbling around me, and I was standing in the middle of it, helpless.“Stay with us, Hailey! Don’t leave me!” I shouted, my voice breaking as I tried to will her to breathe.The doctor rushed to her side, pushing everyone aside with urgent pre

Hollis ****The soft rustle of the hospital sheets was the only sound in the dim room, save for the occasional beep of the machines monitoring Hailey’s vitals. The sterile, clinical smell had begun to fade into the background as I focused solely on her.Hailey was awake now, her eyes fluttering open, though her pain was still written in the faint furrow of her brow. I sat beside her, a glass of water in my hand, and waited as she slowly turned her head toward me."Here," I said gently, lifting the glass to her lips. "Just a little at a time."She nodded weakly, her eyes still a little unfocused as she tried to sit up. I propped her up, my hands careful but firm, helping her adjust to the new position without jostling her too much. The last thing she needed was to feel more pain.She took a sip, her hand trembling slightly around the cup. I felt a deep pang in my chest watching her struggle, but I stayed close, steady, letting her know I was there."You’re doing great," I whispered, wi

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
