"What the hell is wrong with you?" he asks, making them take a step back at his words. "All of you were with Jennifer when this happened, and none of you did anything. Besides, you already have a job that apparently isn't being well done. Where are the kids you should be taking care of?"

They glance at each other as his words sink in and look around the playground in despair trying to find the kids under their responsibility.

I watch, having a hard time believing this is happening. They should all get fired.

"They're over there," one of them replies to Kevin, confidently. "Anyway, I'm great with babies . . ."

Kevin takes a step forward, his hand holding the stroller.

"Shut the fuck up!" he screams. "You're all irresponsible. There's no way I'm letting you close to my kid after what I just saw."

My heart shrinks as I realize that he just referred to Winston as his kid. Oh, God. This can't be good. Someday Hannah will come back, realize that her kid can be an easy way to get money and try to take Winston away from Kevin.

"Diana!" Kevin snaps, getting my attention. "I guess you still want the job, or you wouldn't be here. You can start tomorrow."

I almost tell him I'm not interested, just because his commanding tone makes me want to be a brat and test his limits, but I know this isn't a good moment. There's no way I'm gonna refuse a well-paid job taking care of my nephew. That's what I wanted all along.

I just don't know if I'll be able to be around Kevin without this attraction I feel towards him interfering.

Chapter 6

Kevin

Having Diana at my place for the last two weeks has been hard in more ways than I was expecting. There's something about her that makes me want to be around her, touch her, make her mine.

She's been in my dreams since the kiss we shared in the elevator, and a part of me hates that all I can think about is how I should have taken her back to my apartment and finished what we’d started.

I've been doing my best to stay away from her, going home late and waking up an hour earlier than usual. The building has a gym, and I've been going there every morning, trying to find an escape from all the built-up tension I feel.

"What's on your mind?"

I look up to see my brother Caleb looking at me with a devilish look.

I shrug, glancing at my computer. I don't even remember what I was supposed to be doing. "Just trying to finish this."

Caleb nods, smiling, and steps further into my office. "Sure. You know what's funny. Not long ago I saw Trent doing exactly what you're doing now, and guess what . . . he was already falling for Eliza."

I jump to my feet. "Stop being an idiot, and get to work."

He laughs and gives me the files in his hand. "That's what I'm trying to do, but I knocked and called, and you were just daydreaming about . . ." He glances at my screen. "Our last month's numbers. I guess they must be very good numbers."

Before I can reply, he leaves my office, laughing like he's the funniest guy in the world.

I love Caleb, but sometimes he has no idea of what he's talking about. He's just an idealist.

He can't be right. I barely know Diana. I've done everything I can to stay away from her, knowing that her light can destroy me. Because that's what I see when I look at her, a light ready to take my darkness, and I know who I am without it.

Or maybe I'm wrong, because all I want is to be near her. I know there are a million reasons why I shouldn't, but before I know what I'm doing, I grab my phone and my keys and walk out of my office.

"Cancel all my meetings," I tell Rachel, my secretary, as I walk by her desk.

"Is everything okay?" she asks, standing from her chair.

"Yes. I just need to go home."

Ignoring her confused look, I walk away. This is the first time I've ever done something like this. I've never let any woman interfere with my job, but I wasn't doing anything anyway, so I may as well go home and see what Diana is doing.

Maybe we can have dinner together and talk.
