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.

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 early shifts were always the worst for Sarah, because it seemed like every single worker in town was eager to find themselves a cup of coffee before going to face their boring workday.She had been working at the coffee shop downtown for a few months now, trying to juggle with her studies and taking care of her grandmother, who was getting sicker and sicker with time.Sarah was always a good student, and thanks to the money that her mother had left, she was able to afford a good school and a good college. Unfortunately, the money was over before she could finish it, and she also had to stop her last semester in order to take care of her grandmother.For a while, she struggled to find something nice. No company wanted to pay well for someone who didn't finish college. Then stores and small establishments were the last options she had.The coffee shop job wasn't enough to pay the hospital bills, so she often offered to cover for a few coworkers so she could get some extra money. Her

For a few seconds, Sarah didn't know what to do. It was like time had frozen. He was walking towards her in slow motion, his dark hair perfectly combed, his honey-colored eyes bright as the sun, his sharp jawline covered with a very thin but neat beard.He looked like a Hollywood movie star. And then she realized she was dressed like a teenager. Not that she wasn't young, because she was, but she suddenly wished she had dressed better for the occasion. She wasn't fitting in the scenario; her Converse sneakers, her old jeans, and her loosen ponytail. Her golden-red hair and her green eyes were the only things she could be proud of at that moment. All of a sudden, she wished she looked more like a woman and less like a girl. That would probably make her feel more professional in front of a billionaire CEO."Good morning, Miss Johnson." His hoarse voice invaded her ears like he was some type of god. It definitely suited him. "Er… Good morning, Mr. Reed," she replied, getting up abruptly

Before she could get out of the mansion, another man in a suit stopped her and delivered her an envelope with the contract inside. She assumed he was a lawyer, but she couldn't be sure. She used the journey back home to read the document inside the cab. It was very detailed, but Sarah could understand everything, thankfully.She went straight home to tell her grandmother the good news. Nana was overjoyed, although Sarah could feel that she was a bit sad inside."I'll visit you on my days off, Nana," she explained.Mr. Reed was going to give her one day off per week, so she was going to be able to visit her grandmother. She also took the time to search for some nursing homes nearby, and she found one that looked incredible. They offered everything Nana needed and more, and Sarah could afford it with her salary now. Mr. Reed was actually being very generous with his nannies. She thought that she could even make some financial reserve and have some money by the end of the month, somethin

Sarah cleaned her throat and collected herself, trying to pretend that her laughter was not a big deal."Ok, Ben. So, I think your uncle must have told you that I'll be your nanny, right?" She asked calmly with her soft voice.It was getting really hard not to look at Victor, since he was still there, frozen in the same place, watching her and Benjamin talk."Yes," Benjamin replied, but she could feel he wasn't feeling that comfortable anymore."Okay, let's make a deal? You'll let me know if I do something that you don't like, okay? We're going to be friends above anything. How does that sound?"Sarah didn't like to be observed, and she wasn't sure if Mr. Reed was the type of boss that would interfere in her job in front of the kid, but she hoped not. It was embarrassing enough to have him analyzing everything she was doing already.Benjamin nodded, a bit more at ease."Okay." "Good. So… I'll let you spend some time with your uncle then," Sarah concluded getting up. Her legs were star

Sarah woke up and it was still dark outside. She took a shower, got ready for the day and went downstairs to grab something to eat.Pouring herself a very dark coffee, she sat by the kitchen table and prayed that her first day went fine. "Buenos días, Sarah. How was your first night here? Did you sleep well?" Fabio, the cook, asked her. He was older than Sarah and had a very strong accent."I barely slept, to be honest. Guess I was too excited and nervous." She smiled."Oh, don't be. I'm sure you'll be fine. Benjamin is an easy kid.""Yeah, I could tell. But I also heard that Mr. Reed is very protective over the boy, so I think I'm just afraid to do something wrong," she confessed.Fabio left the pan on the stove and grabbed a cup of coffee as well, sitting in front of Sarah on the other side of the table."He really is. But he's also very reasonable. Mr. Reed never treated any of the servants badly. He might seem cold and all, but he's actually very nice to us."Sarah raised her brow

A few weeks had passed since Sarah started working at Mr. Reed's mansion, and with time, she had become really attached to Benjamin. They got really close after a few days, and the little boy was always asking about her whenever she had the day off.The fact that his nephew was always wanting to be around Sarah made Victor incredibly curious and intrigued about what that woman had to make Benjamin so infatuated with her.It was true that whenever he was at home, he managed to take a look at both of them to see what the nanny was doing and how she was treating his nephew. Victor also asked a few servants who he trusted the most to keep an eye on her and report everything when he got home from work.But he never received any complaints. On the contrary, they only had nice things to talk about her. He was also frustrated at himself for wanting to know so much about Sarah, because somehow he knew it wasn't just because he was worried about his nephew, but also curious about her.Sarah had

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
