"Do I feel like I need someone to warm me up?" He asked in a low voice. He had sat up, and suddenly, they were very, very close. "No," I whispered, staring at my hand that stubbornly attached itself to his chest. I had spent hours touching him, trying to find the worst injuries and treating them. But being face to face, where I could count each individual lash on his eyes, felt kind of intimate. I could feel the steady rhythm of his heart if I concentrated hard enough. Without thinking, I stroked his skin softly. He breathed in sharply, and I felt the shudder that ran through him. I felt like I was barely breathing at this point. If I inhale too sharply, something in the air would just snap. "I must admit," He said in a low voice as though it was some kind of confession, "If anyone had ever told me you would be my final undoing, I would never have agreed to allow you become my son's nanny." *** When the ruthless billionaire finds himself falling for the single mother that's supposed to be the nanny of his son, he expects history to repeat itself again. (Possessive, obsessed, nanny, strong female lead, dominating male lead)

Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Twelve_ The thin line between love and hate
Elena.He was unaware that I held the necklace with the J on it. Sebastian and Ari entered the room at the same time. The former cut a sleek, powerful figure in his all black outfit- black pants, black shoes, black boots, and black shirt. A sharp contrast with his tan complexion. My fingers tightened around the necklace. The sharp pain I got from the J pendant digging into my skin helped calm my racing heart.Sebastian and I didn't greet each other. Not even a word, a slight nod of acknowledgement. "Hey Ari," I said quietly. I willed myself to become even smaller to avoid whatever punishment Sebastian had in store for me.She kept her gaze on Sebastian instead, ignoring me like I was some sort of cockroach beneath her boots. Just when I thought I knew her, she gave me another slide of her personality.Horrid, beautiful, graceful.The air hummed with silence as I watched Sebastian get rid of the gloves and boots. It wasn't something that was overly sexual but I found myself giving h
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Eleven_Secrets and Consequencies
Elena.Something smelled delicious, like a bundle of cinnamon roll, spice, and heat. I wanted to wrap it around me like a blanket.I snuggled closer to the source, enjoying the strong, solid warmth beneath my cheek. If I could stay on that bed forever, I would, but I had promised to help Jaden learn finger painting today.I had to allow myself to have one more moment of coziness - had my bed been so wonderful and big, without any other human attached to my arms - before I opened my eyes and yawned. My room looked different. Weird. My bed was closer to the window for some reason. There were no pictures of Charlotte and I on the nightstand, no vase of roses by its side. And certainly no Charlotte and a silly Jaden with legs sprawled everywhere, on my bed.My eyes searched around the room until it landed onto the broad expanse of bare, tan skin by my side, and my stomach dropped. Familiar blue eyes stared back at me, with no hint of the concern I had seen last night.He flicked his gaze
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Ten_Flashback one
Sebastian.I tried to remain anonymous for the time being. When people found out the leader of a certain group was twenty and inexperienced, in their thwarted opinion, they considered the person a dummy.I clenched my fist so tightly my knuckles turned white as I stood outside the door to their family home. My palms were clenched into fists at my side.I knew the Walters like the back of my hands. They were probably already seated together, hands clamped together while they watched me fidget on their home monitor. Maybe the mom, the bastard of a woman, was trying her best to convince her daughter what a great match this certainly was going to be.I had always hated the idea of arranged marriages, and now one was being forced on me against my will, just so I could keep my group.I wondered what else they would use to convince her. Giving that they didn't want her to know what was actually going on in our world.I took a deep breath to steady myself before I knocked on the door. Once. T
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Nine_The masks slips
Elena.If I was being honest, I was about to play a dangerous game.One that could possibly get me punished. Or worse, get kicked out of the estate with not even my dignity. "Is he okay?," I heard Ari ask someone. Ryan? Possibly one of the numerous men that guarded the estate and kept to themselves."I saw a trail of blood when he dragged himself into his room.""What the fuck happened?" This wasn't a voice I recognised. The person's voice sounded a bit faded, like he kept a respectable distance away from Ari.Ryan's voice was next. "He refused to tell me, tell anyone what he does when he disappears for days. I had to give him fluid. He was both in shock and drugged out of his mind."I leaned in closer, my ears almost touching the cold wall. The voices had been muffled, but I was able to make out the tone of urgency from Ari's voice, while Ryan's was mixed with confusion and frustration.He seemed like the kind of person who tended to become angry when they had no idea what was going
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Eight_ The Enigmatic Sebastian
Elena."Fuck this," I muttered to myself as I watched Jaden and Charlotte taking lessons from the barely there teenager, who Sebastian forbade from giving me any information about himself. The shiny glint of glass beckoned me as picked up the extra wine glass. Just in case I was interested in having a drink with him."I don't like this," I thought, watching Jaden speak to his tutor. I had developed some mouth-reading skills that were amateur at best. I watched him drop the book the tutor had given to him on the table.He crossed his arms together, his childlike lips pursed in a stubborn pout. Charlotte, on the other hand, picked up the book and placed it gently on the table.She had become even more careful after the accident yesterday. I didn't even look around for anyone watching, quickly unscrewed the cap of the bottle of vodka, and chugged down the nasty thing. The liquid burned as it raced down my throat, and I forced down the cough so I could bear it.I needed this if I was
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Seven_Truly free
Elena.Someone left fries, burgers, and drinks from a fast food place on the kitchen counter. Enough to feed ten people. "Burgers," Charlotte squealed in delight. The little girl had been forced to eat healthy or eat my greasy fried eggs that were beginning to lose their appeal.Jaden, on the other hand, approached the counter with much more refrain. His little eyes searched around the room for something. Or someone.A piece of white paper peaked from behind one of the cartons of fries. I scowled as I read the contents.'Ryan can be a handful sometimes. I know you miss the outdoors and freedom. Love, Ari'It came with a signature, too. If this was truly from Ari, then I guessed it was safe to eat. I had not seen any of the other known inhabitants of this estate since yesterday.Helping Charlotte and Jaden with what I was sure they would be able to finish allowed my mind to be focused on one thing. Not what it desperately wanted to think about. Sebastian Halloway. Billionaire. In the
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Six_Was she killed?
Elena.Sebastián's wing, at the other end of the property, was empty. There was nothing hanging on the walls. There was nothing next to it. His office wasn't much better, just a stupid brown desk and some chairs next to it.He felt like he had no personality at all.Well, he was a jerk, so I assumed it was some kind of personality.The children were still in the other wing, safe behind doors that were closed. I had no idea if Ryan was still on the property and if he would make a move against Charlotte or Jaden just to spite me.Luck wasn't something that was always on my side, but finding the office door open seemed to be the only good thing that had happened to me since I arrived at the farm.qSebastian's personality seemed to be reflected in his office. The room had been painted a rich, deep coffee brown to match the mahogany desk in the centre of the room. There was a plush sofa next to it filled with pillows of different sizes.Did Sebastian sleep in his office? Different pens an
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Five_Mummy doesn't know
Elena.He followed the track of my fingers before he pulled his eyes to meet mine."How is Jaden like? I hope he isn't any trouble?"I almost snapped the end of my finger off with the knife I was currently using to cut the spring onions for the omelette. One whole week, he made me stay in a room with the kids, hidden from the rest of the house and the world, because I dared to check out a room while he had visitors at the estate."No," I said simply. Quietly. I did not want to seem like someone who was rude to their employer."Right."I knew he wasn't dumb. Not by a long shot. Those pictures and videos of him I saw on YouTube and tiktok were enough evidence to know he wasn't socially awkward as well.He was just rude.I found it sad that he had to keep all this a secret. He kept Jaden hidden from the world like they would snatch him away if they ever found out about him, and he had to go through such lengths to get someone who needed money desperately as his nanny."Though I reckon he
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Four_I was a prisoner
Elena.He smelled like coffee, mixed with cinnamon. Ash. The woods outside. Oud. I froze in place, partly because I could easily die here, but mostly because I had left the kids alone.I was such a terrible nanny."I won't ask you again, so you better answer fast," He spoke like a cat, soft, slow, and purring each word. "Who the fuck are you? And what the fuck are you doing in this particular room in this estate."My fingers dug into the hand that was draped across my body, my head grew a bit fuzzy and it seemed like I couldn't think of who I was anymore.He held unto my neck, a little too tightly for my liking. At the point of the attack, I had not even registered the fact that he had a literal knife tip pointed at my back. He could kill me if he so desired."I am Elena, I am the nanny for Jaden Halloway,"The chuckle was not what I expected as the response. The chuckle and digging the knife a bit harder, almost enough to break skin."Who are you? Sebastian hired a nanny? Do you real
