Life was being very kind to Sarah lately. Her grandmother seemed incredibly happy at the nursing home, being well treated and bonding with the elderly. Whenever Sarah had her day-off, she would take her Nana for a walk in the park, to the movies, or even just read a book to her while enjoying the sun in the garden outside. She missed spending some time with her grandmother, so those days were very special. Nana's health was stable, which alone was a relief for Sarah. She also hung out with her best friend, Brie, who was going abroad for work and would spend a long time away. Her life in the mansion was also going well. She had made friends with a lot of the people that worked there, especially Camila, who proved to be a trustworthy person and a very nice friend.Mr. Reed had relaxed a lot ever since her first day. Now, he didn't pretend to stay at home just to keep an eye on her. He finally trusted her with his nephew, which was a victory.Benjamin was the most special one for her.

Sarah turned so fast that her neck snapped and she bit her lips to suppress her cry of pain. To be honest, her heart was aching much more."That's… That's not true, Mr. Reed. I…" But she stopped herself from saying anything, because he would never believe her words instead of Alana's. She was just an employee of the mansion, while Alana had been the only woman he had been with in years. He had no reason to believe her. He would never believe if Sarah said that Alana did that on purpose just to frame her.She noticed his eyes coming from Alana to the smashed vase on the floor and then to her eyes. Sarah almost collapsed as her legs trembled and failed for a second. Why was she so weak when he looked at her? Why did his eyes have so much power over her? But at this moment, for the first time, she felt he was looking at her in a different way.Victor had always given her tender and kind glances, even though she tried to convince herself that it didn't have a special reason. He seemed to

Sarah opened her mouth a few times before being able to form a proper sentence."What do you mean, Mr. Reed?""I meant that you're coming with us. It's just for a few days. You'll be back before your day-off, don't worry.""Where… Where are we going?" she asked, still making sense of the recent news. She wasn't expecting anything like that, but she also had no reason to object. Not that he gave her that option, but she was certain that if she had a good reason, he wouldn't force her.But there was only one thing making her worried. Being alone with Mr. Reed, even though Benjamin would also be there, could be a huge mistake. Not that she was expecting anything to happen, but she just feared for her heart.In the romantic department, Sarah was the type of person that gave all of herself, not measuring anything. She was too emotional, that's how she was. She didn't want to suffer, but she also didn't trust herself. It was easy to repeat inside her mind that Victor wasn't for her, that he

Sarah's heart froze. She didn't think twice. She rushed to the living room, but Mr. Reed was faster. He arrived there first and was already squatted down beside Benjamin when she reached them.Benjamin was on the floor, both his knees bleeding, his toys still on his hands. Victor took him and put him seated on his lap, caressing his hair while the boy cried with his face stuck on his uncle's neck.Sarah didn't know what to do. She was petrified, scared to the core. It was her fault. She was the nanny, she should be taking care of him. Instead, she was drinking wine with her boss in the kitchen like some stupid gold digger. "I woke up… And I was going to find you… But… But I fell because I tripped in one… of my toys," Benjamin explained between sobs."And you were walking around with all of these toys in your hands?" Victor asked, still caressing the little boy's head while checking his knees and other potential injuries.There wasn't any, which was a relief. They were alone in a count

It took Sarah a few seconds to realize that the kiss was actually happening, and wasn't just a figment of her imagination. She was having an internal conflict, because while her head was telling her to retreat and get away from him, her heart and whole body told her otherwise. She didn't want to do it. In fact, she wanted to get even closer, if that was even possible.Victor had his hands around her waist, pulling her towards him and there wasn't any space left between them. Giving up on debating with herself, Sarah decided to just accept that maybe fate gave her a tiny moment of happiness. She had never felt like that before with anyone, so she assumed it was worth the risk. She didn't want to think about the consequences and just enjoy the moment, so she lifted her arms and put them around his neck, pulling his head closer to her.The scent he exuded, the feelings he provoked on her body, the taste of his lips on hers; none of that passed unnoticed to Sarah. She wasn't expecting he
