The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 19: Secrets
Sarah gulped as soon as his scent invaded her nostrils. It was so inebriating that she almost lost her senses. It couldn't be the wine, because she hadn't drunk that much.Victor, on the other hand, was slightly drunk. She could tell by the way his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were fixed on her lips while he spoke."You confuse me, because I don't know why I can't stop thinking about you so much," he confessed.Sarah blinked, trying to understand what he was saying. If he was drunk, he could be just saying nonsense. She shouldn't take it seriously, because he was probably not going to remember it the next day."And to be honest with you, I never cared about any women before. I actually hate them. You… I don't know," he continued, struggling a bit to find the right words. "But I won't talk to you about this, because I'll only give you more reason to hate me."But she did want to know about it. Since their conversation in the kitchen, she was more than eager to hear his explanation.

It took Sarah a few seconds to realize that the kiss was actually happening, and wasn't just a figment of her imagination. She was having an internal conflict, because while her head was telling her to retreat and get away from him, her heart and whole body told her otherwise. She didn't want to do it. In fact, she wanted to get even closer, if that was even possible.Victor had his hands around her waist, pulling her towards him and there wasn't any space left between them. Giving up on debating with herself, Sarah decided to just accept that maybe fate gave her a tiny moment of happiness. She had never felt like that before with anyone, so she assumed it was worth the risk. She didn't want to think about the consequences and just enjoy the moment, so she lifted her arms and put them around his neck, pulling his head closer to her.The scent he exuded, the feelings he provoked on her body, the taste of his lips on hers; none of that passed unnoticed to Sarah. She wasn't expecting he

Sarah's leg failed and she collapsed on the grass, since Victor wasn't able to see it coming. He took her by her arms and put her on her feet again, but she was very sure that she would fall again if he loosened his grip."Sarah, are you okay?" She heard his voice asking, but her mind was miles away from there. The only thought inside her head was that she couldn't lose her Nana, not now."I… I'll be there as soon as possible. Thank you," she mumbled over the phone, not even giving herself the trouble to turn off the call."Sarah?" Victor's voice called one more time, and this time, she managed to see his honey-colored eyes in front of her. If she was lucid and not worried about her grandmother, she would definitely blush.Victor's brows were frowned and he didn't let go of her arms, not even for a second. He guided her to a wood bench under the nearest tree and asked one of the staff from the horse stable to bring her some water.The man came running a few minutes later and handed her

The news about the hospital receiving an enormous donation spread like wildfire. Sarah didn't know if it was coincidental or not, but the doctor informed her that a few urgent surgeries were going to be done with no charge for the patient, since the hospital board allowed them to use a share of the money from the donation.She didn't want to interrogate the doctor about it, but she couldn't believe how lucky she and Nana were. Mrs. Johnson was on the list of the patients who were going to be assisted, and Sarah cried her eyes out when she heard about it."Nana, can you believe it? You're finally going to be better," she said, hugging her grandmother cautiously.The old woman was still lying on the bed, unable to make big moves since there were a lot of wires and medical tools attached to her arm and chest.She smiled at Sarah and squeezed her hand in a sign of gratitude. She was still very weak and the doctor asked her not to do any effort and especially not to speak."Anyway, I'll ask

Nana's surgery was scheduled and realized earlier than Sarah was expecting. On the next day, her grandmother was already doing the exams necessary and two days later, she went through the procedure.Sarah thought that her heart was going to come out of her mouth with such nervousness she felt while her Nana was inside that room, and all sorts of thoughts crossed her mind.She couldn't help but think that she didn't want to go through all of that by herself and the first person that came into her mind was Victor. She just wanted to feel his arms around her again, embracing and comforting her and telling her that everything would be alright.The surgery lasted a few hours and when she was about to get up and ask one of the hospital staff if everything was ok, she saw the doctor coming in her direction with a satisfactory expression on his face."Everything went perfectly well, Miss Johnson. We're very optimistic with her recovery. She is still sleeping because of the sedative, but we'll

A couple more days passed and Sarah's grandmother was finally discharged from the hospital. She would still receive her treatment in the nursing home and she had to make visits to her doctor every once in a while for a few weeks, but the worse had definitely passed.Sarah called a cab that afternoon and took her grandma back to the nursing home and stood there until late at night, only leaving after Nana fell asleep, with a promise to come back as soon as possible.It had been a while since she had been at the mansion and taking care of Ben, so she couldn't exploit Mr. Reed's kindness anymore.She would go back to work and visit her grandmother whenever she had some free time. Since everything was alright now, she had no more reasons to be worried.Arriving at the mansion, Sarah noticed that most of the rooms had the lights off, which meant that everyone was probably already sleeping. There was only one place with the lights still on, the living room.She pondered if she should go ther

Sarah cried until she fell asleep that night. She had no idea of why Victor was doing that to her; kissing her whenever he felt like it, visiting her and Nana in the hospital, but that couldn't end well.She knew her place, and it wasn't by his side. Society didn't work that way. She was only allowing herself to dream, but the pain inside her heart was not easy to ignore. She couldn't bear being left by him in the future if she allowed their situation to go any further.So it was better that she stopped it now, before it even started. It was hard to know if he really meant everything he said. The fact that he wasn't able to take her out of his mind didn't mean he was in love with her though, or that he was willing to face everything and everyone just to be with her. It could just be the excitement of winning a woman. As far as she knew, she could be an adventure or even a challenge for him. Who knew?But she wasn't willing to risk everything, especially having her heart broken, so stay

She spent the whole way back home trying to convince herself that she wasn't being a b*tch by using someone else to forget Victor. Unfortunately, she wasn't being successful.But in order to move on with her life, she had to start embracing the opportunities that fate threw her way. And Oliver did seem like someone she would have interest in, if Victor hadn't appeared in her life first.A few days passed without her seeing a sign of Victor at home. Whenever she went downstairs with Benjamin to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, the staff would say that Victor wasn't at home or that he was busy at the office and asked not to be disturbed.It was pretty clear to Sarah that he was avoiding her, even though she didn't know his real motives for that. Was he mad at her? Or maybe embarrassed? Either way, she didn't want to know. She asked him to stop chasing her for whatever reason he had, so now she couldn't go after him asking him why he was avoiding her."Here, Ben. Eat everything, alright?"

The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 50: Epilogue
It was a very cold winter's night, and Sarah was finishing writing her new trilogy book. A few years had passed since she started in this business. After working at the publishing company for years, they finally offered her a chance to try writing her own story, and she found herself doing something she never thought of. And surprisingly, she had a talent for it.Since then, her books had been doing very well, and the last one had become a New York Times best seller, which almost made her fall from her chair when she heard the news.She couldn't complain about what her life had become. If someone had told her that she would, one day, be working at home, taking care of her kids and being incredibly happy about it, she wouldn't believe them.She finally felt complete, happy, accomplished.The incident with Alana would eventually come back to her mind, but she would remind herself that the woman was now far away from them, inside a prison, unable to harm anyone else, especially her family
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 49: A Different Proposal
After a few months, Sarah had finally finished her last college semester. Victor had done everything he promised to do, and she was able to finish everything and even got an internship in one of his friend's company, on her own account especially. Of course they all learned who she was after she got in, but just the fact that she got inside on her own was enough for her.Victor had asked Camila if she wanted to take in the position of Ben's nanny, and the woman gladly accepted. She was already tired of just being a servant, and being his nanny was a much more pleasant chore for sure.Everyone in the mansion was more than used to the idea of Sarah being the new mistress, although she had forbidden them to treat her any differently. She hated those hierarchy rules and she didn't want to continue that inside the mansion, unless Victor objected. But since he had given her all the freedom and authority to do whatever she wanted in the house, she asked the servants to treat her the same way.
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 48: Plans for the Future
After that night, things at the mansion started to get back to normal. Victor had advised the investigative team to gather all the proof they had against Alana so he could take it to the police and do what was necessary for her to pay for what she had done.He had also intensified the security at the mansion and around his family, so things wouldn't get out of his control again. He didn't want to be the type of person that was always surrounded by bodyguards, but he thought it was something he had to learn to deal with from now on. Sarah had also convinced him that Benjamin could go to school, one that had very good references and that took the education and safety of their students seriously. The kid was always accompanied by the bodyguards who would wait for him outside of the building until time of departure. Victor wasn't very sure of this at first, but after seeing how Benjamin's eyes glowed in excitement only by the mention of it, he decided to give it a try. Sarah had advised
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 47: Forgive Me
Sarah didn't react. She didn't know how. Was she surprised? Was she shocked? It was hard to say. "What?" she managed to ask, but her voice came out as a squeal."That… That… I don't even know what to call her," Victor said, furiously. "I just want to kill her right now. That's all I can think of."Sarah blinked."You don't mean that.""I do." He looked right into her eyes and she knew he was saying the truth. He really had the intention of making justice with his own hands."Victor, you are not this type of person. How could you possibly think of doing something like this?" she asked, her hand shaking with fear. "Can you imagine how I'm feeling, Sarah? If I hadn't put that woman inside my house, in my life, none of this would have happened. We wouldn't have lived that nightmare and we wouldn't have… I wouldn't have…"Victor was struggling to find the words to express himself, but she knew what he wanted to say. They wouldn't have fought and broken up. He released himself from her gr
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 46: Beast on the Loose
Sarah was in the living room that night playing puzzles with Benjamin. That had become one of their habits during her time as a nanny and she loved it. "You're getting better at this, Ben. Well done! You'll get faster than me in a while," she remarked, making the kid smile with pride."My daddy always played this with me," he said, sadness taking over his face. "Now he doesn't spend time with me anymore.""Don't say that, Ben. He's busy with work, but he's always trying to spend some time with you. It's just that… It's hard to be a grown up sometimes, you know? We don't have much time to do nice stuff like play with puzzles and watch a movie.""Why not?" "Because work gets in the way, and we also have more problems than when we were kids," she explained. "Sometimes we wish we could be kids again, you know that?""Well, I want to grow up soon," he replied. "You will change your mind once you get to my age. It's not that fun anymore. You'll see," Sarah smiled and got back to the piece
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 45: Closure
Victor was in his office at the company building since very early in the morning, trying to focus on a contract of nearly a hundred pages. His vision was getting blurry and not even several cups of coffee helped him to stay wide awake. His nights had been terrible ever since his fight with Sarah, and the fact that the investigation wasn't getting anywhere was also making him worried sick. He couldn't sleep knowing that whoever was trying to harm his family was still out there, in the shadows, probably planning their next move, while Victor was in the dark, knowing nothing.That made him frustrated and pissed off. He wasn't used to being the person out of control. If being a CEO taught him anything, it was that he liked to be in control of everything, and not being aware of the real danger lurking around made him uneasy."Mr. Reed, can I confirm your meeting with Mr. Flynn after lunch?" his secretary had asked him during some time in the morning.He remembered nodding to confirm, but h
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 44: Strangers
The next few days had been the worst Sarah ever remembered experiencing in the mansion, besides the day she spent worrying about Benjamin when he was kidnapped. Not even when she first started working for Victor it had been so bad like now.After their argument, Sarah barely saw the man, and when she did, which was rare, he made sure to completely ignore her presence. He didn't even look at her direction, like she was invisible. And every time that happened, her heart shrunk to the size of a peanut. How was she supposed to move on, to forget her love for him if she had to see him every day?She also wasn't sure of what he meant by "taking a break". Was he suggesting that they only needed some time apart to make the anger go away? Or did he just not have the courage to break up with her? It was also impossible for Sarah to find some time to talk to him and apologize for her behavior if he didn't allow her to. On top of that, she still had the whole issue with Benjamin's kidnapping in h
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 43: A Real Friend
After Victor left her "new" room, Sarah didn't know what to do. She felt like being alone, but knowing he was so close by the next door, yet so far, made her feel sick to her stomach. She just wanted to leave that house now and suffer by herself, without having to face him the next day.At this moment, her future was a blur. She couldn't imagine how she would manage to continue working there without Victor. But at the same time, she knew she couldn't simply abandon Benjamin. Her heart would break for good if she did that. More broken than it already was.She couldn't sleep there that night. And a sudden urge made her decide to rush downstairs and look for Camila. She was the only person that could hear her now without any judgments. At least, she hoped. She couldn't let her insecurities take over her anymore. She couldn't assume that everyone thought badly of her. When did she start to think that everyone hated her and saw her with ugly eyes like that? What had changed?She knocked sl
The CEO's Babysitter Chapter 42: Crashed Dreams
Victor stared at the door for a few minutes until he realized how wrong he was for telling those things to Sarah. She misunderstood him completely because he was so full of jealousy and couldn't express himself correctly. He didn't even want to tell her about it in the first place. He had promised himself not to mention that until the case was closed and he had found the real culprit. He never doubted her for a second, but seeing her with that man made his primitive and irrational thoughts burst out.It was true he didn't trust the man, he didn't even know him. As far as he was concerned, anyone could be behind the kidnapping. He was more than used to people doing things to attack him, so it wouldn't be the first time. And Sarah knew about his insecurities regarding that, so why couldn't she be a bit more understanding?He stormed out of the living room and followed her to her bedroom, opening the door without even knocking. She was lying on the bed and jumped out of fear after his in
