The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

“He knew you were pregnant?”

“He did. He saw me once, he had been planning to kidnap me back then, but I guess he got confused when he met me with a bulging belly. My brother

however wasn’t so confused.”

“We got into a bad argument. He pushed me down the stairs and I went into premature labor.”

“He is the reason you lost your baby.”

“Lori why didn’t you tell someone?! Why didn’t you report them?”

Lori scoffed.

“Report them?! I was a poor broke waitress working in some dirty diner and they were in a gang! It wouldn’t take much for them to put a bullet through my

head!”

“I had nobody! Nobody to trust, nobody to talk to about it so I just forgot about all of it and moved on.”

“It was the best thing to do.”

“Well, it’s not. At least not anymore. The way he talked to you, he seemed to still think that he had a hold on you, we need to deal with that Lori.”

Lori shook her head. Oh no. She didn’t want to involve Gabriel. He had already done a lot for her. A whole lot, she didn’t have to involve him in her own

drama.

“No. Please just let it go. I don’t want you involved or dealing with that kind of crowd.” She pleaded.

“Lori..”

“I’m serious Gabriel. I just really want that phase of my life to be over. I don’t even want to think about it.”

Gabriel was still not convinced. He sighed as he rolled his eyes.

“I’ll let it go. For now, but the moment I see him around you I don’t care what you say Lori, I promise you I won’t spare him.”

Gabriel’s voice was deep, husky and a little bit scary. Lori gulped as she nodded.

“Yes.”

She said.

Gabriel stood up and left the nursery quietly, leaving Lori with Emilia.

The night went by in a blue, Lori watched the sun set with Emilia in her arms, Griel visited Elliot in his pool house, whatever conversation they had was

short and brief because Gabriel came back out barely three minutes later. (1)

Gabriel ate dinner early, then retreated to Gus study for the night while Lori ate inner with Grace. Shortly after Grace left, leaving only Lori and the servants who had retired for bed. She stayed in the nursery and gave Emilia a ba, then rocked her for a long time before she finally went to bed.

After putting the baby to sleep, she retreated to her own bedroom, the lack of aor slightly bothered her, but Mr Gregory had told her it would be fixed

the next day and she could stay in the guest room downstairs until if was fixed it she didn’t like the room downstairs. It looked too dark, too different. She would manage her own bedroom, she told herself, despite the chilling cold that was coming inside her room.

She took a quick night shower and changed into a small tank top and shorts.

She was fluffing her pillows when she heard the sound of a door opened down the hall. She ignored it, it was probably Gabriel going to bed, she thought as she went back to fluffing her own pillows.

Barely a minute later Gabriel appeared in front of her door.

“What are you doing?”

He asked and she turned.

Lori’s jaw dropped.

Her eyes fixated on him. She had never seen Gabriel without a shirt before and now she knew why, he was perfect. He was physically fit, in the attractive kind of way that could make women swoon, but not enough to make him look too muscular. The way he rested on the wall and folded his arms made his muscles even more visible. Lori wished she didn’t gawk and stare at him for so long, but she found it practically impossible to tear her eyes away from him.

She gulped and cleared her throat, he had caught her staring.

“I’m getting ready to go to bed…”

He nodded.

“Okay. But you’re not sleeping here though. Come with me.”

He said and Lori hesitated.

She didn’t want to sleep in his room, but he seemed inclined to monitor her and she really wasn’t complaining. She has s restful night when she slept in the

room.

“I don’t want to impose…”

She started as she rushed towards him, getting a good view of his powerful back.

“You’re not. It’s just until your nightmares get better.”
