Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirteen_Trapped
Elena.Of all the ways I had pictured my Friday night going, getting trapped in my room by a man that Sebastian had considered to be dangerous, currently staring at me like I had committed the worse kind of treason was not one of them.“I am sorry, but I don’t think staring at me would have the desired effect you hope for,” I stroved for bravery even as I took a step back. He stared at me like he had something against me, and like he was ready to see me squirm.“I don’t believe I actually ever explained who I was to you.” His smirk was as dangerous as the devil’s, strong enough to break glass. Objectively, he was one of the most handsome men I had ever seen. With his hair as dark as midnight, his chiselled jaw, cerulean eyes, and a body like one of those Greek gods. But there was something sinister about him, something about his expression that would be considered ‘sinful’ to a set of women.He had the sort of vibes my ex, Charlotte’s father, was known for.“Ryan Walter of the Walter
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter One _I lost my job
All Elena wanted was to become the best mother to her daughter.She showered her with love and attention whenever she could.Shielded her from the harsh reality of their situation. No one could call her a bad mom. No one.****Elena.I felt those hands again, creeping up my back and sending trails of pleasure up my spine.My hands were placed firmly on the table behind me to help keep me balanced lest I slipped and fell on the floor. He wrapped his hand around my neck, pulling my naked body against his, until my front was up against his abs."Elena," He whispered my name at first, his deep voice sent shivers through my entire body.I moaned softly when he kissed me, his mouth tasted of tequila and whatever flavourful toothpaste he used. A delicious cocktail of flavours that made me mad with desire."Elena, Elena," He grunted as his hands slipped down my body and towards my core.I was entirely soaked at this point. I would have given my left lung just for him to plunge those fingers
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Two _You're employed
Sebastian Halloway.The men wanted to be him or kill him. Whichever one came first.The women wanted to wife him, bed him, love him.Sebastian Halloway was an enigma. A delicious mystery. From the young age of twenty, he had amassed great wealth to rival even the wealthiest of businessmen.And the only thing that rivalled that wealth was his body. His body was published in magazines from New Zealand to England.No one knew if he had a kid. No one knew if he was married. No one knew if he even had parents.And most would love to keep it that way.*****Elena."They're disgusting, the lot of them," The woman who looked like she stepped out of a mean girl movie scoffed, her lips caught in a sneer.She turned to look at me, "Don't you agree?"The cupcakes I made weren't going to win any award, but at least no one would call me a 'deadbeat mum'. I watched the other mothers going around, picking each and any snack they could find that looked edible enough and stuffing their mouths with th
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Three_Who are you?
Elena.There's only so much one's mental health can take. Only so much one can take."Get out," I snapped, my fingers pointed straight at the exit, "Get out, get out, get out...."If my ex had decided to run a silly game and I was to be used as bait to get him, then I wanted none of it. I wouldn't drag Charlotte down that rabbit hole ever again.The blond woman did not move. Neither did her goons. Instead, she walked into my apartment and made herself comfortable on my worn-out couch, her face devoid of any emotion.My eyes followed each and every movement from her, from her nimble fingers opening her bag and bringing out an envelope that she placed gently on the table. Her eyes met mine, and she made a gesture to the envelope.I had no idea what might be inside. If it was a bomb, then she wouldn't want me to open it while she was still here.Except she was some sort of sadistic bitch.I tore the envelope open, the content inside being a white sheet of paper with information on me and
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

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 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

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
