KateHim walking away was the only response I received. I watched his disappearing figure, wondering if I had asked something inappropriate. All I did was inquire because Aria had been expressing her desire for her mother. "Hello?" An unfamiliar voice sounded behind me. I turned around to see a young, tall man looking at me with a smile on his face."She's Aria's new nanny," I heard Mr. Arthur say. The man's eyes widened as he assessed me from head to toe. "Dante doesn't seem to get tired of hiring nannies for Aria. By the way, I'm Nicholas. Dante's best friend and best man," he said, his eyes sparkling as he spoke.He extended his hand. "I'm Kate." We shook hands, but he didn't let go and continued to stare at me. I furrowed my brows before he finally released my hand. "I hope this one will last, Mr. Arthur. Where did Dante disappear to, by the way?""I guess he's in his room or with Aria," Mr. Arthur replied."Nice meeting you, Kate. Mr. Arthur, can you fetch my bag from the car? Th

KateI was seething inside. My heart was burning with rage. How dare him? Who does he think he is to snatch my phone away? I had been pacing around the room with my heart aflame with anger, thinking of what to do to get back at Dante. The audacity of him to play with me that way. Another part of me feared him reading through my texts with Gina. He’d surely get suspicious. I need to get my phone back as soon as possible. I walked up to my wardrobe and pulled out my other phone.I have Gina’s and Gabe’s numbers saved on it. I dialed Gabe’s first. I bit my bottom lip, impatiently waiting for him to pick up. “Hello, Ma’am.”“Gabe, did you get to find out the hospital information?” I asked, turning my face at the door.Silence followed. “Gabe, I asked you a question.” He’d be the last person to get on my nerves completely.“I’m sorry, ma’am. I’m still working on it. You will hear from me real soon.”“Do that fast. I have no time to waste on Dante. If he’s involved, we take the next step.”

Kate "Good morning, everyone." The familiar voice of Chloe echoed through the room as she made her way towards the dining. She bent and kissed Dante on the cheeks before sitting beside him. Dante's shirt she was wearing indicated the passionate night they had. And also reminded me of how hurt I was by that. That means all the while he just wants to get under my skin. I was so stupid to forget about the rumors of him on the internet and also the fact that he has a girlfriend. "Morning baby girl." She lightly touched Aria's cheeks. "Baby, since it's the weekend why don't we go out? We can go to the beach it's been a while." She spoke. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation but I did. I even caught sight of the way she was holding his hand. "Um..." His eyes then went to me which I was quick in diverting away. "Sounds nice.""Really?" She squirmed excitedly leaning over to kiss his cheeks once again. "We could go all together. You, I, and Aria." She pointed. I resisted the

Kate After the information I got from Gabe regarding Nicholas being involved with the mafia, I decided to be cautious of everything I do. If Nicholas is involved with the mafia, that means Dante knows something. Maybe, he's also involved. I had given Gabe the task to do whatever it took to search Dante and Nicholas's background thoroughly. The past days I noticed the way Nicholas was monitoring my every move. The same way I was monitoring his. We didn't mention anything to each other but it was pretty obvious we suspect each other. Which was why I had decided to put everything of mine at stake and do what was needed of me to do. Even if that entails getting on Dante's sheets. I can go as far as to be shameful enough to accomplish my mission.I woke up early on purpose and joined Bianca in the kitchen to help her in making breakfast. Even with her telling me no need, I didn't back down. I should start by gaining the trust of the people in the house. "Good morning sleepy heads." I che
