last update Last Updated: 2022-11-24 14:29:20
What the f*ck is Alana doing here? Victor thought. He never expected to see that woman again, especially not in his own house. He had broken up with her a while ago and told her to stop going after him. And now there she was again.

"Carter, stay here with Ben, please," he ordered. "I'll be right back." Victor left the room in a rush, firm steps echoing as he walked downstairs. It was almost as if he could see his nostrils expel smoke of anger. He met the woman waiting for him patiently in the living room, seated on the couch and sipping tea from a cup as if she owned the place.

"What are you doing here?" he spat as soon as he entered the room.

Alana put her cup on the table and got up from the couch, gesturing and moving in an overreacted and distressed way.

"Oh, God… Victor. I was so worried," she said as she tossed her arms around him and hugged him. "I heard about what happened. I was abroad and when I heard the news, I came back running to see you. I-"

Victor grabbed her hands beh

    When Sarah opened her eyes, the brightness of that white room blinded her for a few seconds. She had no idea where she was and what had happened, but a heavy pain on her chest made her gasp for air. It was like her whole body had been beaten up and, what were all of those wires attached to her? She reached her nose with her hand, trying to take everything out, but another hand grabbed hers before she could reach it."Calm down, Miss Johnson. I'll do that for you. Just make sure to be calm. Everything's fine. You're at the hospital, but you're out of danger now," the woman explained, taking off the nasal thing from her face.Hospital? Sarah frowned. Her throat was too dry and also a bit sore to talk, so she only muttered to the nurse to get her some water first. The woman handed her a glass and she drank it up."Why am I here? What happened?"And then the woman explained everything that had happened while the memories came back as a wrecking ball inside Sarah's mind. She got shot tryi

    Sarah took some rest before dinner, and it didn't even seem like she had been sleeping for weeks. Her body was still tired, but she wasn't feeling pain anymore, which was a good sign.The doctor had prescribed a few medicines for her but the worst had definitely passed. She was so happy to be back at the mansion, with Benjamin and Victor, that the fact that everyone knew about their relationship didn't bother her that much.She was afraid at first that they could think she was only doing that for interest, but seeing how everyone supported and greeted her, that thought disappeared from her mind.The dinner that Victor had thrown on her behalf went amazing. In fact, he allowed everyone in the mansion to participate, so the staff was in awe. He gave them the night off after dinner was over, so they could all celebrate life.He was in an extremely good mood, which made Sarah feel extremely important and touched. He couldn't stop staring at her the entire time, those eyes glowing at her li

    His hands started to move from her back down to her legs and butt. He squeezed her buttocks with both hands and raised her from the floor, making Sarah wrap her legs around him.Victor started to walk blindly across the bedroom, trying to reach the bed without having to break apart from her.His legs bumped into the wood and she fell backwards on the mattress; an inviting and tempting mattress. His weight was all over her, but she didn't mind. It just felt good to have him on top of her.She could feel how delicate and careful he was being with her, especially because she had just been out of the hospital and he didn't want her to get hurt at all.He placed himself in the middle of her legs, as his hand grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up to kiss her once more. Their tongues danced in a frenetic rhythm, so did his hands.He reached the hem of her shirt and took it off before she had the chance to even blink. Sarah looked at him as he admired her barely naked breasts, only covered

    Sarah looked to her side and her gaze met with his. She never thought he looked as beautiful as now."I love you, Sarah," he whispered, his thumbs caressing her cheeks gently. "Truly."She was caught off guard. A confession of love was not something she was actually expecting from him. It was true he had said before that he had fallen for her, but she wasn't waiting to hear that.She blinked a few times, but it was impossible to help smiling back at him. She could feel the warmth spreading across her heart from his declaration. She felt the same, of course. There was no way she couldn't. Each day she was more sure about her feelings for him."I love you too, Victor," she replied, turning on her side to stare into those beautiful eyes. "I've never loved someone as much as I love you."He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips. A romantic moment after all the wildness they had just experienced.As they slept that night, Sarah couldn't stop thinking about their future together.

    His clenched jaw and tightened grip were more than enough for Sarah to realize that Victor was furious. "Oh, I'm sorry." Oliver said, retreating a few steps. "I didn't mean to bother. I just wanted to talk to Sarah, since she-" "You already did, now go. And don't come back," Victor uttered behind his teeth.Sarah's mouth dropped in shock. She had never seen him that way and she couldn't believe that Victor would be so impolite and rude to a friend of hers."Goodbye then, Sarah. I'm glad you're alright," Oliver said and rushed to the gate, disappearing from her sight before she had the chance to reply."What the h*ll, Victor?" she turned to face him. "Why did you do that?"Victor got back inside, and she closed the door behind her, following him close. He went straight to the living room and grabbed his usual glass of whisky before turning to look at her."I don't want anyone around the house. Especially him," he spat.Sarah narrowed her eyes."Why not? What did he do anyway?" she ask

    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

    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 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.

  • 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

    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.

    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

    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

    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
