The alpha secret baby

Eileen POV

2 YEARS AGO

"I can't take your place in your child's life."

The bond between a parent and child is unlike any other in the world—it's pure and unbreakable, a relationship where betrayal is never a concern.

A mother endures nine months of pain to bring her baby into the world. After giving birth, she undergoes numerous changes. Physically, her body transforms; her hormones shift, and her perspective on life and priorities are altered. Suddenly, her child becomes the center of her universe.

A man, too, must mature quickly when he becomes a father, whether he's 18 or 30. The moment a child enters his life, he must step up and take responsibility. He feels the duty to protect and care for his child, ensuring they grow up in a happy, healthy environment. The hard work a father puts in to provide comfort and stability for his child is deserving of great admiration.

Well, unless you are unlucky like me. Being raised by a single father, I know the importance of having two active parents in a child's life. Even after you become an adult, you need your parents to show you the right path in life when you don't know which one to choose. Sometimes I become so confused with everything in life that's when I miss my parents. I think I will be super happy if any of my parents start interfering in my life even now, I will be dancing if l could lean on my parents even

for a second.

Except I am not that blessed. My mom ran away with her lover when I was six months old. Later she came back. I was a year old at that time, but she was there for divorce, not for her daughter, who needed her mother most.

I never heard of my mother when I was growing up, there was not a single picture of her in our house, my grandmother burned all her belongings, removed all the pictures, and papa took the role of parenting. It was hard for him, he was a single father struggling to fill the gap of two parents at the same time of a little girl's life, it's laborious.

I saw his constant scuffle between his job and his fatherly duty, however, I can proudly say my papa outshine other men in this job brilliantly. He came to all the annual school function, had dinner with me all night, cooked for me, packed my lunch for school, dropped me in school, took me to the park on the weekends, ice cream date, stayed awake with at night when I was sick, loved me unconditionally, my papa is the best of all the father of this world.

However, I think this father is on the list of worst ones. I don't get this even after working 2 months for him, well, for his daughter. I told him before I took this job, I told him clearly and loudly, "I am the nanny. You are the parents, and I will not take your place in your child's life. You need to stay present in your kid's life."

That time this arrogant man nodded. He agreed to my terms before I started working for his little angel. Now l am at his daughter's school function when he is supposed to attend and cheer for his daughter. I texted him last night, this morning even twenty minutes earlier but there is no sign of him. He is not coming, damn, I shouldn't have promised Nora on behalf of his jackass father.

My little sunshine's heart will be broken again by her nescience father once again, he made it like a job for the past two months now. He is hurting his little girl immensely, I see her big diamond size tears, her black clouds fill sad face, the sadness in her eyes, it's too much for a four-year-old to bear. She should be happy, laughing, playing, enjoying her childhood, not crying and yearning for her father to come home, or love her.

And also, who the hell does start kindergarten at the age of four. My sunshine is bearing all the burden of her parents on her shoulder, at this young age, this is the worst thing that could happen to a child. Tonight I am going to talk seriously with her arrogant father. I am going to see how he saves himself after hurting my Nora so badly.

I clench my teeth in anger when he doesn't show up, now Nora is going to cry again. Last night, I stopped her tears making a promise, her dad will be here sitting in the front row, cheering for her, now my lies will hurt her more.

"Hey, baby." I picked her into my arms.

Nora looks around the small auditorium, she is searching for her father, who is not here.

"You were so cool on the stage," I try to avert her mind but l fail greatly.

"Where is dad?" she whispers.

Her big round blue eyes are looking at me in anticipation, hope is all can see in those beautiful eyes. I put her golden hair behind her eyes, and hug her tightly.

"He is busy," I whisper in her hair.

She says nothing, only hugs me tightly, and sheds her tears, she knows the rule, the meaning of busy, she is again ignored by her father. After Morgan's car accident, Nora does not only lose her mom but also her father. This is too l much, she doesn't deserve this, if I don't take any action now, then things will go worse. Maybe there will be a stain in this father-daughter relationship, even before Devan Boyle knows he will lose his daughter completely.

I put Nora in the bed, read a story to her, and when she was deeply asleep, I came down to the living room. Tonight I am going to stay awake all night if I need to do to talk to Mr. awful father. I make myself a cup of coffee before settling on the couch under the blanket, I take the remote and start roaming on Netflix. There will be something

that will keep me occupied until that monster comes home tonight.
