And it also happens at every point where you stand in this kitchen? Any child would hide there. He is invisible to you but he sees you looking for him.”“Why are you whispering?” I asked.“Well, we do not want Eric to know we know exactly where he is. Our intention is to lure him o
ISABELLA“Mr Cross, let me start by saying I am so sorry. I do not know what came over me. I do not normally around drinking things in people’s homes that I have business drinking in.”Darren stood in the doorway of the guest room with his arms crossed, watching me with that same skeptical look he had worn since I opened my eyes. The headache still pulsed behind my temples, but I ignored it. This was my one shot. I could not afford to waste it.He did not say anything. Just kept staring like he was waiting for me to dig myself into a deeper hole.This was it. I knew the job was probably gone after what happened, but I was not leaving without trying one last thing.“Although I do have to say it is totally unacceptable that you would leave something as strong as what had caused me to pass out laying carelessly and in the room you welcome guests in no less.”Darren gaped at me but I pushed on before I lost the nerve that had caused me to take this route.“I am willing to let it all go, M
DARREN“Is she okay?” Margaret rushed forward to peer into the face of the woman that was now collapsed in my arms.I was more concerned with the fact that the woman I was holding in my arms at the moment was the very same woman who had kissed me yesterday.“Get the guestroom open” I ordered.Margaret looked torn between obeying me and panicking.“Mr. Cross…”“I know what she drank.”“Guest room, Margaret.”She finally nodded and hurried away.I looked down at the woman in my arms.Isabella Foster and apparently, the nanny candidate.Life was indeed all shades of fucked up.I carried her upstairs and to the guest bedroom. She weighed almost nothing.Her head lolled slightly against my shoulder and a strand of red hair fell across her face.Without thinking, I brushed it aside then immediately wondered why the hell I had done that.I hadn't voluntarily touched a woman in years at least not beyond a handshake.The guest room door stood open by the time I arrived.I laid her carefully on
ISABELLA“Oh, you have got to be kidding me!”I stared in horror at the muddy water splattered all over my white pants.The car responsible was already halfway down the road.Of course.Of course this would happen today.I had spent twenty minutes deciding what to wear for this interview. Twenty whole minutes standing in front of my mirror debating whether the white pants looked professional enough.It is official.The world is conspiring against me. This is what I get for trying.I grabbed the packet of wet wipes from my bag and attempted to clean the stain.The dirt only smeared further.Wonderful.Absolutely wonderful.I checked the time on my phone and groaned.It did not matter now.I was already running late.There was no point standing around feeling sorry for myself.I shoved the wipes back into my bag and hurried toward the massive black gates looming ahead.The property behind them looked more like a private estate than a house.I pressed the buzzer.A crackling voice immedi
CHAPTER EIGHTEENThe ride back home was awkward, Elizabeth’s eyes were closed through out and although she could feel the probing stare of Lucien’s eyes, she still kept them shut hoping he would not comment on it.“Am I that repulsive? “ he asked after some time“No of course not.”“Then why do you have
NATHANIf it were left to me, I would have asked Denver to shove it and gotten on the next plane out of the countryside.I hated the countryside… I hated small towns.It had nothing to do with the people or the things it had to offer which wasn’t much if we are being honest.My problem with small to
CAMILLAMy father drove us straight to the house and I did not argue nor say anything when we arrived and my mother enveloped me in a hug.“Oh baby” She crooned.“I am okay” I reassured her“Come on in”I inhaled the familiar scent of home, my muscles relaxing.“I am going to bed” I announced.Their words
NATHANI felt like an absolutely horrible beast or maybe that was what I wasStarved of attention?If there was anything, I would admit that I have been the one acting like a starved and crazed person anytime she was near.I had only said that to infuriate Rodrigues, her father more than he already was.
