07:32take leo
07:32out without relying on a driver take any car you want from the garage your cheapest car is a quarter
07:37million i'm not driving that fine the next morning a beat-up sedan was parked beside luca's black
07:44bentley he'd even brought in a psychiatrist from out of town for me the diagnosis matched the hospitals
07:48but this time i was prescribed imported brand name meds i could never have afforded before
07:53your wife needs company keep her stress-free
07:58i will the next day i took leo out with me he'd always been insecure and barely knew the world
08:03outside
08:04now i wanted to show it to him our first stop was the amusement park he grabbed my hand and
08:09pulled
08:09me over to take pictures then i took him to a farmer's market he'd never been somewhere like
08:13that in his entire life i don't want to carry this leo my hands are full it's only a few
08:20steps just this
08:21once okay and no more ordering lobster nora it was sebastian my ex-husband nora we're husband and wife
08:33stop thanking me his voice came out low soft around the edges we're a paper husband and wife
08:39you didn't have to his arm lifted long fingers tilted my chin up his thumb brushed slow against
08:44my jaw nora what if i don't want a paper marriage anymore my husband kicked me out because i ate
08:51too
08:51much signing the divorce papers that night i left with nothing with only a duffel bag and 36 in my
08:57pocket i wandered the rainy streets alone then i spotted a flyer on a utility pole
09:01stepmother needed room and board included that exact flyer changed my life it turned me into a
09:07woman far beyond my ex-husband's reach that night i followed the address and entered the estate of
09:12luca castellano the head of new york's oldest mafia family outside the mansion the butler beside me
09:17oozed quiet arrogance the don needs a mother for his child not a wife get that straight the don is
09:25highly attractive don't get any ideas i lowered my head secretly delighted honestly this job was
09:31perfect for me in short they just needed an upscale nanny and the last thing i wanted was another
09:36husband free mansion lodging at this point that felt like a miracle don't worry i won't get any ideas
09:43as we passed a room with its door ajar a gunshot rang out and a man crumpled to the floor
09:48instantly
09:48through the crack in the door i recognized the face i'd seen in the new york times the don is
09:54handling some business don't take it personally after i changed into dry clothes he led me to the
10:00dining room at one end of a long wooden table father and son sat in a tent standoff the man
10:05with
10:06the murderous glare was gone in his place at the table sat an exhausted helpless father
10:12just one bite one tiny bite is that too much to ask it was almost funny he could deal with
10:16traitors
10:17and torture enemies but now this little brat had him stumped feeding him was harder than running an
10:21empire don the candidate is here so this was no dream no scam new york's most feared man a man
10:27like
10:27luca castellano had no reason to trick some homeless nobody name nora bennett try so this was my

27:13luca's black bentley he'd even brought in a psychiatrist from out of town for me the diagnosis
27:17matched the hospitals but this time i was prescribed imported brand name meds i could never have afforded
27:22before your wife needs company keep her stress free i will the next day i took leo out with me
27:30he'd always been insecure and barely knew the world outside now i wanted to show it to him our first
27:35stop was the amusement park he grabbed my hand and pulled me over to take pictures then i took him
27:39to
27:40a farmer's market he'd never been somewhere like that in his entire life i don't want to carry this
27:45leo my hands are full it's only a few steps just this once okay and no more ordering lobster
27:52nora it was sebastian my ex-husband nora we're husband and wife stop thanking me his voice came
28:02out low soft around the edges we're a paper husband and wife you didn't have to his arm lifted long
28:09fingers tilted my chin up his thumb brushed slow against my jaw nora what if i don't want a paper
28:16marriage anymore my husband kicked me out because i ate too much signing the divorce papers that night
28:21i left with nothing with only a duffel bag and 36 dollars in my pocket i wandered the rainy streets
28:26alone then i spotted a flyer on a utility pole stepmother needed room and board included that
28:32exact flyer changed my life it turned me into a woman far beyond my ex-husband's reach that night i
28:38followed the address and entered the estate of luca castellano the head of new york's oldest mafia
28:42family outside the mansion the butler beside me oozed quiet arrogance the don needs a mother for
28:49his child not a wife get that straight the don is highly attractive don't get any ideas i lowered my
28:56head secretly delighted honestly this job was perfect for me in short they just needed an upscale nanny
29:02and the last thing i wanted was another husband free mansion lodging at this point that felt like a
29:07miracle don't worry i won't get any ideas as we passed a room with its door ajar a gunshot rang
29:14out
29:14and a man crumpled to the floor instantly through the crack in the door i recognized the face i'd seen
29:19in the new york times the don is handling some business don't take it personally after i changed
29:27into dry clothes he led me to the dining room at one end of a long wooden table father and
29:31son sat in
29:32a tent standoff the man with the murderous glare was gone in his place at the table sat an exhausted
29:37helpless father just one bite one tiny bite is that too much to ask it was almost funny he could
29:44deal with traitors and torture enemies but now this little brat had him stumped feeding him was harder
29:49than running an empire don the candidate is here so this was no dream no scam new york's most feared
29:54man a man like luca castellano had no reason to trick some homeless nobody name nora bennett
30:02try so this was my interview if i failed i'd be sleeping on a train tonight wearing my warmest smile
30:08i stepped toward the boy he dove under the table only his big round dark eyes peeked out glaring
30:13furiously at me make her leave they're all bad women he'd already burned through countless step
30:19mothers before me fat woman you're ugly go away i was a little annoyed calm down he was just a
30:25kid
30:25i scanned the room and immediately spotted them action figures everywhere grabbing two action
30:30figures from the coffee table i crouched beside the table and held up a spoon don't worry i'm not
30:35feeding you i'm feeding him i pretended to scoop up a spoonful and held it to little hero's mouth come
30:40on
30:40open wide you heroes skip dinner look at those skinny little arms and legs you can't protect
30:46anybody like that oh little hero wants veggies good choice spinach makes you strong the boy swallowed
30:53hard i pretended not to see him on the verge of tears wait little hero can you share some with
30:58him
30:58if he wants to grow big and strong he has to eat too i nodded little hero's head in agreement
31:04then
31:04turned to the boy you want to be strong little man he nodded eagerly just a tiny bite
31:10only a little we don't want you to get stronger than little hero he'd be sad before the spoon even
31:15reached him he lunged mouth wide open why can't i have veggies are you scared i'm gonna be stronger
31:22than little hero you meanie i glanced at luca castellano the corner of his mouth lifted into a
31:28genuine approving smile i moved into the castle that same night the butler led me to my room then
31:33gave me one final warning do not go to the third floor ever his voice dropped the last woman who
31:38snuck
31:38up there and tried to get into don luca's bed he threw her out of a second story window i
31:43thought
31:43about the gun from an hour ago i nodded hard i promise i slipped into the silk pajamas laid out
31:49in
31:49the closet damn it i seriously need to lose weight come downstairs we need to talk oh okay
31:59luca sat in the living room legs crossed swirling a glass of whiskey i tugged awkwardly at my pajama
32:05hem trying to hide my stomach you're good with kids do you have any of your own no i helped
32:12raise
32:13my ex's nephew for two years his family called me a glutton who made no money they forced me to
32:18quit
32:18my job fired the nanny then dumped their kid on me i wasn't their daughter-in-law i was nothing
32:24but
32:24an unpaid babysitter your file says you're divorced yes why he was ashamed of my body and he looked down
32:35on my small town roots i guess only a coward would say something like that you saw the ad i'm
32:42looking
32:42for a mother for leo not a date for myself my enemies terrified him when he was little ever since
32:49then he's never felt safe hates going outside and has zero friends i work long hours so i need someone
32:57patient to stay with him we'll sign a prenup everything stays separate especially what happens
33:03in the bedroom i looked into his eyes and my heart skipped a beat my ex and i signed a
33:07similar
33:07prenup over our background gap when the love died i left and a powerful mafia family like the castellanos
33:13they would be even more cautious i understand honestly if you just need someone around the
33:20house we don't have to make it legal i don't mind skipping all the paperwork luca shook his head
33:24he leaned forward lightly tapping his fingers against the table the marriage is for leo he needs a
33:29mother's love something stable and lasting and marriage is the strongest contract there is
33:36fine we'll do it your way don't worry you'll have a monthly allowance of one hundred thousand dollars
33:44that was the part i actually cared about if we ever get divorced will the money you've given me
33:49still be mine of course it's yours then okay as for sex i have no expectations of you just stay
33:55on the
33:55second floor of course so three days after i signed my divorce papers i got married again there was no
34:01ceremony just like my first wedding but at dinner luca suddenly slid a ring across the table toward me
34:06it was the castellano family's signet ring there's no need to do this sebastian had never even given me
34:13his family ring this was all for leo only later did i realize he needed the illusion of a home
34:18i fell
34:18silent for a moment then i took the ring i'll keep it safe that night i had just gotten into
34:25bed when
34:25my door creaked open barefoot with wild bedhead leo stood there fidgeting with his dinosaur pajamas
34:31what's wrong little man nora can you read me a bedtime story i can ask dad to give you more
34:37money
34:39come here i pulled back the covers to make room for him he scrambled in beside me like he'd waited
34:44all day
34:46nora it's so cramped oh you little rascal i was only halfway through the story when he fell fast asleep
34:53against my shoulder the next morning at breakfast the butler told luca that leo had slept in my bed
34:58luca froze i'll add another 50 000 to your monthly allowance mr castellano that's really too much not even
35:05close i'd put far more into my last marriage than that an eyesore you do nothing but eat and sleep
35:12mr castellano you're really too generous i like leo he's a good kid reading him a story is no trouble
35:19at all the moment i said that leo walked over wrapping his tiny warm hand around my finger he
35:24looked up at me with big dark eyes like two grapes he was clearly touched another 50 000 you've earned
35:30it
35:30it's not up for negotiation i gave in and thanked him from that day on leo became my little shadow
35:36luca was
35:37busy with deals guns and bloodshed he didn't come home for an entire month in that massive mansion
35:42it was just leo and me i poured my heart into keeping him happy
35:51until my follow-up appointment the butler had warned me that leo could not leave the house
35:55if he did it could trigger a panic attack i crouched down in front of him sweetheart wait for me
