    False LoverFor a game, was becoming too dangerous, if Sarah pretended not to be

    Brody's fiance Kane, he could lose his daughter forever, and Sarah no

    could bear to see Bambi suffer. To make matters worse, there was another problem:

    Kane was the false sexiest lover that no woman could imagine, and SarahI had to continually remind it was just that, something feigned, and that their

    tale marriage was nothing more than a farce.Chapter 1Help! Please stop! Sarah stopped short at the sight of a woman leaving

    the gutter and stood almost in front of his car. He lowered the window.

    -what's The matter? he asked. There was a park across the road, perhaps the

    woman was attacked while taking a walk.'You're a nurse! Thank God! she cried, seeing the white uniform

    Sarah. My girl has fallen off a swing and has remained motionless.

    -where Is it? I asked the girl out and the car. 'Have you moved?

    Both ran through the trees until you reach an area with swingsyellow and slides.

    Not dare said, breathing heavily. I was afraid to touch her,

    I just checked breathing. I did not know what to do, I left it lying on the grass.You did more appropriate. When did this happen?

    -A Few minutes. Then I hit the road -the woman spoke

    awkwardly as he ran. If you would not, would have gone to the hospitalran for help, I know there is one near the park. I did not want to leave alone

    Bambi ... -the girl face expressed concern. He would say it would have to

    have remained with her!

    Sarah felt fear in the eyes of the girl. Who would be the man you

    spoke? Why was afraid, when the poor had enough concernthe girl? It would be her husband.

    But what else could I do? There was no one around.He'll be fine -asegur Sarah, with more conviction than he felt for

    inside. Working in pediatrics at the hospital, my name is Sarah Vane added, while

    ran.

    A minute later he was leaning over a little bump in the grass. Hisheart sank at how small and helpless that the girl looked. He lay motionless,

    pallor of death in the face. The mother had put on her jacket,

    though it was a warm afternoon in August.We'll need an ambulance. I do not want to risk it can be damaged

    Page 2

    to move the car.

    The young woman shouted something. It was all her trembling, with blue eyes

    open by the impact, and touching curly hair due to nervousness.-does Get well? If, right? -the girl began to cry. If he dies

    will kill me!

    Sarah was stunned. What kind of monster was her husband, to wait

    a reaction from him?

    'You must not blame yourself. Accidents happen, unfortunately. It will not die

    He soothed Sarah, the way he had done thousands of times since it wasnurse. I trust you regain consciousness at any moment. May

    I've had a mild concussion. I do not see signs of other injuries or fractures. Neither

    bleeding, but it would be better not to move in case. Better wait a stretcher.The girl clasped hands in anguish.Look, I'll stick with it if you think you are able to drive my car to

    hospital. Go to the emergency door will be faster than if we walk.

    Do you think you can drive? he asked, suddenly uncertain.I think so, but do not need to take your car, got mine nearby. I ...

    I was so afraid that I came to the road he admitted. Expected to reach someone

    and could help me. I had forgotten! I have a mobile phone in the car.

    The girl came back moaning.You must think I'm stupid. He could have called an ambulance

    from the beginning. I was so scared and thought!

    Sarah stared at the girl with a frown, haveMobile have streamlined remembered things much. Of course, the girl was

    under a strong impression.

    He looked very young, only nineteen or twenty, Sarah thought. Too Much

    young to be married, and, of course, to have a child of that age ... Sarahremoved the hair from the face of the girl. How old would have? Three?

    He looked around and saw the car to where the girl was, parked under a

    group of eucalyptus. It was a Mercedes for a new design, silvery gray.The girl looked too young, too simple to have a car like that,

    Sarah thought ... It was an expensive and luxurious car. Perhaps it was the car her husband who

    I had borrowed that day, so I had forgotten wearing mobile phone.

    The poor girl looked absolutely terrified by the husband.It was back in seconds, and looked anxiously.

    They're going to send an ambulance immediately declared, with the voice of relief. Listen,

    I already hear the siren!Well Sarah replied, smiling. Children are very resistant -asegur.

    You've been terribly kind to me crying girl murmured. Was

    my fault! I should not have been left at that swing. Should of not having

    pushed so hard. That's what they tell me, and will reason-girlshe hid her face in her hands and sobbed.

    Page 3

    'Please, calm down,' said Sarah, thinking that the girl was more afraidthe reaction of the father, the fate of the girl. People reacted

    differently to the strong impressions, perhaps focusing on the anger offather, the girl tried to avoid thinking about a much more terrible possibility.

    'You did not do it deliberately, and I'm sure your husband does not ...

    -No Is my husband!Oh.

    Sarah realized at that time that the girl was not wearing ring

    3/86

    married, so they were not married. That was not very strange today.

    -Nunca Had confidence in me to stay with her! Always thought I would

    happen something, always warning me to be careful, and now ...Sarah was an accident exclaimed nervously. The father looked like a monster! -.

    The main thing is not moved it. You kept with a cool head, and that's not easy.

    He did not think that ... but he recovers muttered bitterly betweensobs. You seem a very delicate child if you knew how the care, theinstructions given to me, often calling while working. And no you can

    imagine when you come home. And I am that the housekeeper who has brought is safe

    to spy me.A housekeeper? Sarah turned pale.

    'Are you the mother of the child? Sarah wanted to know, although the state of the

    girl could not think otherwise.

    You think I ...? Oh my God! He said the girl, looking wonderingly.Just take care of her, I am her nanny. My name is Beth Newbold, took three weeks with her.

    That car is it ... I insist that you take when I take a walk Bambi. My Mini

    does not seem safe.Sarah cried Oh, and before I could continue occurred two things:

    girl moaned, and the ambulance arrived at the park, standing near the Mercedes, Sarah

    Beth smiled at Newbold.

    Now everything will solve added, leaning over the girl, hiding herrelief itself.

    Sarah followed the ambulance to the hospital Mercedes, and after parking the

    car in the parking of employees, went to the emergency section, asBeth had promised. On the way, a few seconds he stopped at reception to speak

    with the pediatrician on call, and she must be working a few more minutes

    later.

    Paula, I'll be a little late. I'm in the emergency room with a little girlhas fallen from a swing. I want to make is right before boarding, how

    I agree?

    Sure, there's nothing here right now, thankfully. Come whenfinished, and anyway, I know where you are if you need.

    -Thx.

    He found Beth in X-rays, waiting anxiously in a room. The

    Page 4

    girl face lit up when he saw her, smiled shakily and grabbed the armSarah.

    They want an X-ray of the head. But still conscious, but notHe has spoken nothing. The truth is that she does not talk much to anyone, not even

    with me.Sarah winced, wondering if the father's attitude would have to do with

    shyness of the girl.

    Sarah, thanks for coming, you've been very kind.I'm glad to have been helpful. Beth ... did you say to the sister in charge not

    You are the mother of the child? Has he called his parents? Does your father? Beth had not

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    4/86

    said the mother, but could be simply because I did not much fear as

    the father. What woman would employ a nanny and a housekeeper? A woman who

    work out all day? Or a wayward young woman with a husband whoI could confront those expenses?

    Not been time to call. They brought running into here. And only is

    him, Bambi's father, who has never mentioned to the mother. Nobody has. Allthey say is that Bambi has no mother -the girl sighed resignedly. Todaynot in his office. He went to Gamberra to spend the day work issues.

    That is, there was no mother. Divorced, most likely. Mmmm ... Sarah could

    easily imagine, would have to be a saint to put up! But how does apersons could have gotten custody of the child? Because he was the one who had the

    money, power and influence undoubtedly concluded with cynicism.

    But still remained the father of the girl.

    Is there any way that we can get in touch with him? he askedBeth fondly. Should be here Beth looked behind and saw the radiologist

    talking with the young doctor and nurse attending to Bambi.

    Do you think you might need an operation? asked Beth, in terror.Can there be some serious damage suffered by the fall?

    Beth, is the father of the girl. He should be here with her, no matter what. O

    at least, I have to know. Can you find him?

    Beth sighed resignedly.I think so, always leave a telephone number. Would you call yourself?

    she pleaded. It's called Kane Brody.

    All right, you got the number?When the girl began to search his bag, the young doctor approached

    them.

    -No Sign of fracture he said to Beth, and Beth Sarah squeezed his arm in

    sign of relief. It seems to have suffered a mild concussion, is all. Are you the motherthe girl?

    Beth shook her head, but said nothing.

    She's the nanny Bambi, called Beth New-bold. I was going to call the father,right now it's in Canberra. Beth says she has no mother.

    Page 5

    Try to locate, right? I would leave tonight Bambi

    observation as a precaution he assured her doctor Beth noticing his

    agitation. Sarah, you'd better stay with her sister Elliott can docall, do not you need above?

    Sarah nodded.'I've said I'm here, no problem.

    'Meanwhile continued the doctor, looking at Beth, we need to knowsome things about the girl. Do you mind answering a few questions until the

    father arrives? Once we're done, we'll give you a bed in section

    child. Can you wait a minute? Be right back. Do not worry about Bambi,He is sleeping peacefully.

    When he was gone, Beth's body trembled like a leaf.

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    5/86

    -Quieren To stay here for observation? He never forgive me! I was cast,

    I'm sure.

    Sarah looked at her astonished eyes. It was unfair! He cursed and muttered somethingHe touched the arm of Beth.

    Not going to happen, Beth. Just going to stay a night, which is normal

    when someone is unconscious. It seems to have no damage. Furthermore,I can come to see it in person.Oh, Sarah, I know I would have done without you! he declared the girl with eyes

    filled with tears. Thanks for everything, you're great. Sorry if I have caused

    discomfort.'You have not caused me any discomfort. Goodbye, see you later.

    Sarah looked up patient attending, and saw Bambi being carried in

    a stretcher, with Beth behind wringing her hands nervously, but to see

    Sarah beamed.Sarah looked at Beth and the little girl: two huge brown eyes looked.

    Hello, Bambi, I am Miss Vane, you can call me Sarah. I am your

    nurse, do you feel better?The girl did not answer. Even gestured simply stared with eyes

    wide, unblinking.

    It's very timid Beth whispered. It's always like this.

    It's all strange to her Sarah smiled, looking at the girl. OK,Bambi. Now you are in the children's section, so there are other children.

    The person wearing the girl lifted the stretcher and placed on a bed. The

    bed had a screen on one side to cut the bright sunlight.Have they talked to the father? Are you coming over here?

    Beth nodded, and a shiver down his spine.

    Yes, said he would come soon. Sister Elliott spoke to him. Said

    take the next plane, and that was an hour ago.Sarah turned to the bed he and the girl spoke fondly as he

    put the sheets and depleted of dark hair from her face.

    Page 6

    Your dad will come soon, Bambi. And Beth is well with you and know more

    you'd get.Sarah pulled out of a closet a teddy bear and offered, but for

    dismay, the girl began to mourn, closed his eyes and turned his head the other

    side.I imagine you'd rather have one of your toys he suggested Sarah. Beth,

    when his dad comes you can go home and bring the favorites. Or does anyone in theCar?

    Beth blushed.I do not usually bring toys when we go to the park. Just an old sheet

    who likes to continually rip. Even when going to bed. His father

    angry if he knows that I brought, is stained and torn. He hates it!I think I should have it, needs to be with something familiar. No matter what

    whether or as is. Would you mind ...?

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    6/86

    'All right,' said Beth watching Bambi, he looked at her solemnly.

    I'll be right back, honey, your sheet. It will not take anything. Will you stay with Sarah

    explained a few minutes and ran out the door.Where the hell do you think you're going? said a hoarse voice. Do you go running to

    not face facts?

    Sarah looked up with a frown and saw man entering a widthshoulders, with a dark suit, Beth cornered against the wall. The roomfour beds seemed suddenly wane due to Ja presence of man

    high.

    Sarah went to him.Would you mind down? he commanded, stopping in front of him. He felt

    I was in front of a wall, and he exuded power, or was it ?, and remained angry about

    dazed seconds. No it strange that poor Beth was scared!

    -where Is it? he shouted, ignoring the order of Sarah. Before obtaining aAnswer saw his daughter, Sarah had to move away to the side to avoid being hit

    when the man went to bed. -Bambi, Honey, are you okay? His voice

    completely changed and became as soft as velvet, like allfactions. Sarah looked away from him with difficulty, and looked at Beth to make a

    nod. Although Bambi did not need the old sheet at the time,

    insurance that would later when his father had to leave. Daddy's with you,

    affection. Everything will be fine. Nothing will happen to you, I promise he murmured softly.Sarah watched the man who took a chair and sat next to the girl

    pale, and decided to leave them alone for a moment. So he concentrated on the other

    patients: a five year old boy and another girl of eight years was to remain wholenight for a possible appendicitis.

    When Beth came to the room with the sheet, the girl slept pleasantly. His

    father was at his side, and had one hand on the forehead of the girl, but when

    He looked up and saw Beth, he removed his hand and stood up.

    Page 7

    How did this happen? asked angrily. You're supposed

    to care for her! I can not trust anyone to look after my daughter? Do not I find

    never a competent nanny for my daughter?

    Sarah, who was reading a story to a child of five, got up and walkedprecipitously.

    Do you mind out into the hall? You will wake Bambi and disturbing other

    children.-Me Happy to have a girl who can wake up! I noticed this girl

    be careful with the swings. For God's sake, my daughter is only three years!Sarah was at the bottom according to him, pushing the girl was so high

    a dangerous risk but would not admit to no man angrier still. ByAt least he cared for his daughter. As if Beth and not worry enough!

    -The Accidents happen, Mr. Brody continued sternly, what cares

    maintain a low voice? This is a hospital, remember, here only peopleill.

    The man's eyes, green with gray specks, looked at her with disgust,

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    7/86

    like the first time he saw her. He shrugged and looked away,

    going back to Beth.

    Now you can go home, I'll stay here with her. Get your stuffcar and go. I'll send a check by mail.

    You mean ...?

    I mean I will not need your services will never concluded without anypity in her voice.Beth's eyes filled with tears. She bit her lip and looked at the

    sheet in his hand.

    I ... I brought this for Bambi said, shaking hands and gave it tofather.

    -Esta Crap! Brody Kane exclaimed in disgust. I thought you had said

    that you got rid of it. Where is the doll I bought a few days ago? Or

    any of his toys? Either would be better than old that rag!She, her ... Beth seemed unable to speak.

    'Sometimes children grow attached to something because it's familiar and known.

    Even an old sheet can be a comfort to a child Sarah explained, his voicequiet but firm.

    Sarah saw a gleam in the eyes of Kane. Rabia, probably because their

    imprudence. How could talk to him that way? The gleam in his eyes could not

    be confused with repentance, a man like Kane Brody repenting? ASarah's lips trembled.

    'Let me give it to Bambi continued firmly, holding the gaze of

    man as he took the sheet of Beth trembling hands. Unlessprefer to give yourself said, using the strategy of giving the possibility

    choice, as he did with the children.

    Page 8Sarah and Bambi's father continued to stare at for a few seconds

    Moreover, in a silent struggle. Sarah thought that this man had not lost manybattles in his life, but not her.

    He said I'll give Kane and Sarah breathed deeply, without realizing

    I was holding my breath.

    I'm sure you'll be glad Sarah murmured, a smilesudden, and again stared into his eyes, this time without confrontation.

    Sarah gulped and thought for a second that he would lose his balance. Do Not

    could it be that a simple smile had defeated man! And Sarah,Suddenly he thought he saw a smile on that serious face, a smile that lasted a second,

    and Kane looked first amazed.'I ... I'll go, then whispered Beth, turning to Sarah, not Kane Brody.

    He already had fired.-Bambi Be fine, Beth. Try not to blame too, every day occur

    sudden accidents' said Sarah. The girl had been neglected, but had

    reacted wisely and swiftly, although he had forgotten the phonecar. You did very well not to move yourself.

    I studied first aid grateful Beth said, taking the

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    8/86

    opportunity for Kane knew she was well prepared for the job, but

    Kane did not listen, went into the room with a blanket in hands.

    When Sarah returned to the room a few minutes later, clutching the sheet Bambihands, and on his face a shade of pink. The eyes that looked at Sarah

    at that time, although still amazed and unblinking, had something special,

    softness and shine again. Would Sarah was giving thanks for the sheet?Sarah smiled at the girl and saw his red mouth curved at the edges. It was almost anSmile! Sarah felt a sudden warmth inside.

    Brody Kane sat beside the bed, and looked frowning

    when he noticed that Sarah was going to say something."Okay," the eyes of the nurse said, "I will not be so silly

    beg for Beth front of Bambi. "

    I'll stay with Bambi, Mr. Brody, if you want you can go down to the cafeteria

    for drink-it was likely to have come from the airport directly,After a day of work, with hardly a break to eat something quick. Had the

    face marked by fatigue, and had unbuttoned the top button of the shirt

    and loosened his tie.Maybe he later said, in a tone anything soft, with the same

    cold, but at least quietly. Maybe he did not like that nurses in

    female, being ordered. Maybe it had something against women, perhaps by its

    failed marriage. Those lines around the mouth suggested ... cynicism, apartfatigue and nerves. Again, Sarah found herself wondering your

    marriage. Had he left his wife? Or was it? If it was, why

    had not been Bambi with her? It was all very strange.

    Page 9

    Sarah shrugged and decided to call the kitchen to send him

    coffee and a snack. Said a few words and went to another beds forascertain the status of the child. He was asleep and the girl was with her mother and

    nanny. Then he headed for the door.I'll be in the office if you need me, Mr. Brody, I'll be back in a while

    to see how it goes Bambi.

    Brody Kane nodded, almost her.

    A while later Dr. Graham, pediatrician, came, and Paula, the other nurseservice, accompanied him to the room to see patients. After the doctor

    he was gone, Paula went to the consultation and took Sarah's arm.

    Do not you know who's here? Paula asked excitedly.-El Man who is with Bambi? The father?

    -Claro, He! Who else?Sarah smiled and shook his head. An attractive face and a seductive man

    Paula always bothered effect.All I know is called Kane Brody, and has a bad temper, so

    do not ...

    Sarah, do not be silly. Kane Brody is not my style. You really do not know whois it?

    I'm sorry, I ...

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    9/86

    Not believe it. Do not you read the papers?

    -Los Newspapers? Are you famous? I've never heard of it! I never read the

    confessed gossip columns.Not the gossip columns, silly, the business section. There was an article

    about it last week.

    Ah, the business section. Nor interested me much about business.And who is?-Nunca You've heard of Kane Brody? A billionaire banker? It is one

    of the largest in Australia! Paula's eyes sparkled excitados-. It is

    surprising related business, has made millions.-A Expense of their daughter, surely He mentioned Sarah, thinking small

    Bambi, left home alone with their nannies.

    Sarah feels devotion to his daughter, knows everyone. My father says he

    has all the best customers, government contacts, reputation for makinggood things. Not to mention his image and the money you have. My father says that there will

    strange that everyone needed their services continued Paula. And I bet you

    there are plenty of women requiring their services too, you know? Sarah.There was a photograph in the article, do not you see it? How you did not notice, if

    gorgeous?

    -Guapsimo? -so not describe Sarah. The truth was that I had good

    presence and impact on people, a powerful impact. She herself had felt,but it was too cold, too hard.

    Page 10

    'What the article said about it? he asked, in spite of himself.

    It was on its business and a reform plan that has made nothing

    staff. That's what he wants, apparently. My father has been sometimes

    Kane because Brody runs several companies abroad, including my father.My father says it's an extremely private person, even when

    are outside the office or at a public event. So I guess it will not be veryopen to him interviewing. I mean personal interviews. Always

    talks about his work, but I know something said, approaching Sarah.

    That is divorced Sarah declared with a smile.

    I -Divorciado? repeated the woman in amazement. Where did you get that? This iswidower. His wife died two years ago, which makes it a perfect candidate. So

    least in certain circles. I mean, to have a three year old girl look

    another wife.Sarah stared.

    'Your wife died? -that explain almost everything, thought Sarah. The excessiveprotection for his daughter, the need for a nanny and a housekeeper. Even

    Bambi timidity of those sad eyes. Sarah's heart felt sorry for the girl,Kane and Brody. The distraught husband two years after the death of his

    wife.

    It seemed a man who easily trust people, much lessbabysitters in her daughter. And Beth, so scary, it would not be the kind of woman who would

    give

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    10/86

    security.

    Poor Beth.

    His wife died in a car accident Paula continued, lowering his voice andlooking around for anyone escuchara-. His car hit a pole

    electric, ran off the road and died instantly. They said it was beautiful.

    It was Italian and continuously out in the newspapers. Were brief comments, alwaysIt has been said that Kane avoids journalists like the plague.Sarah grimaced. It was awful that life would have taken his wife

    that so tragically, leaving him alone with her young. It was terrible for him and

    Bambi. No wonder her daughter was so valuable to him, who cared so muchby it.

    -Bambi Now four years old, so I must have had two years when it happened

    Sarah said. Would you remember your mother? Will still miss him? Would you have

    his father told the truth? That his mother was dead? What was goneforever?

    No, the parents tried to protect the children and tended not to tell the truth, and

    Sarah understood. But, given his experience, he knew it was wrong, and then was moredifficult for children to accept the truth.

    'It's not as I expected, of course it will have been a blow to hear that her daughter

    is in the hospital by a blow to the head, but ... said Paula.

    Isn't was nice to you? Sarah wanted to know.

    Page 11

    No ... looked at me with a frown, wanted to know where you were. Me

    said he wanted you to take care of her daughter, only you. I tried to explain that we

    several patients, and can not be in two places at once, but it did. I did

    Dr. promise Gra-ham that if you were in service, you would be responsible

    principal of Bambi. Go with the man!'Is the handsome charming than you expected? Sarah joked, proud of

    Kane requiring Brody. It was a surprise for her as there was in his presenceshown any particular interest.

    I still think is handsome, attractive man, but too

    inaccessible, I think. I prefer them simpler, more friendly, like Sam. Someone

    really appreciates a woman. I will be stupid if I let out to Sam.Yes, you'd be silly Sarah said with a sigh. There was no man in his

    life ... nor any possibility. The idea of family was happy for other women, not for

    Sarah Vane. David had shown the day had asked her to marry him,and she discovered she could not have children.

    No use mourn. Sarah had already made plans for the future andmeet and outside.

    Chapter 2Kane Brody was next to Bambi at dinner time. Sarah noticed that the girl

    ate very little.

    Not worry too much, want to sleep.Not usually eat much. Doctors who have examined her say it has

    anything, but just do not eat.

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    11/86

    It's better not to force replied Sarah, Sarah is can try ...

    stopped, he had not asked for advice, and it was not appropriate to speak in front of the

    girl. We can talk later suggested, suddenly adopting a toneprofessional to hide his nervousness. The idea of being a little longer with him

    produced apprehension, excitement and joy at the same time. It was like playing with fire.

    Excuse me, I must observe children of the other one said, without waiting for theMan accept or reject your offer.When he came to the last visit before the children were asleep, is

    Kane surprised that Brody was still there. Parents usually did not stay

    too much time with their children, for various reasons. But Bambi, of course, wasdifferent, it was a special case. She had no mother to stay with her, and her

    nanny was dismissed.

    Was Kane Brody usually so loving and sensitive? Or normally

    stayed away from it for work, and relied too heavily on nannies and housekeepers?"Well, I had no babysitter you can rely on!" Sarah said, thinking of the poor

    Beth.

    -Deberla Go home and rest he advised, watching Dark Shadowsaround the eyes. And should eat something too. He has not rested since

    it has arrived.

    Page 12

    -does Equal concern for all parents to come? I sent before coffee and

    a sandwich, remember? so I do not really hungry. Nor do I have much sleepto go to bed right away he declared, watching closed the

    blinds.

    Sarah turned with a faint smile. No, someone did not seem to suffer for something

    external, seemed to have the power of ten men.

    The man looked thoughtful eyes.He's been working there since I arrived, never do you take a break?

    I'm going to rest once he assured, had a half hour break untilfinished work at eleven o'clock. Paula's sister Marks, ensure Bambi.

    -Come In the hospital cafeteria? he asked. She nodded, wondering

    What cared what she did in his free time. You can see below that has

    why should eat something. If I dine here at the hospital, he could go to see Bambibefore going home he added, to the surprise of Sarah.

    It was not exactly an invitation to dine with her, but approached

    enough. For some reason, Sarah's pulse quickened at the thought of being with him inthe cafeteria, to the idea that he wanted his company. He had not seemed a

    very sociable, or with babysitters or anyone man.So Sarah recalled the suggestion to discuss food habits

    Bambi. What he had in mind? It would be something related to Bambi, because it was evidentthe girl who idolized and cared for her, maybe too much. If you believed what

    He had told Beth, had it too protected. And if it continued that way,

    end up damaging the independence of the child, suppressing the natural development,making it weak, unable to think or girl do anything for herself.

    Would I have the courage to say?

    Why not drop now? Sarah suggested. He probably would not want to go down with

    a nurse, could lead to bad entendidos-. I will end here quickly, the

    Marks sister take care of Bambi, and no need to worry about it, II'll stay until eleven, then shall the night shift, which are also pediatricians

    he assured.

    Kane stood up and muttered something under his breath so that her daughter did not listen.-Bambi Afraid of the dark.'Please do not worry. We maintain dim lights at night, and children

    are visited regularly. If they wake up, or are restless, a nurse

    stays with them. Bambi will be visited every half hour, you are awake or not.-For She will be all foreign -asegur Kane. And looking up, Sarah was given

    realized that the man's eyes, which once seemed green, at that time were

    Khryse. Never before has it been in a hospital.

    I know, and I understand. I'll let you say goodbye to her ... 'said Sarah, goingto the child's bed next. A few minutes later he looked at the bed

    Bambi and Kane was gone. The girl's eyes gleamed in the soft light.

    When Sarah came down to the cafeteria shortly after he saw Kane Brody putting a

    Page 13

    tray on a table. She motioned with his head, was to choose theirmeal and then went to the table Kane.

    Suddenly he hesitated, perhaps he had not meant ...

    'Please ... you sit -invit Kane. She took a chair. Are you asleep Bambi?he asked, when Sarah sat across from him. Had a hard and unreadable expression,

    but she could see the concern he felt.

    He has assured him he slept immediately. The girl was quiet, and Sarah had

    asked if he never complained or cried.

    Are you going to be who cares when you go home? Sarah asked. WasBeth thinking that no longer would care for her. The girl needed someone stable,

    family, to look after her regularly.He frowned, his eyes pierced Sarah.

    If you have something to say about how I tried to Beth, come, say so.

    Sarah sighed deeply. Will was suggesting to defend her?

    Do not you think it was very hard on her? he asked quietly, hoping thatBeth gave another chance. Did not realize she was shattered? Are

    was sufficiently worried before you humiliate and fired

    in front of the nurses.He deserved it declared, clicking a potato with fork. I put my

    confidence in it and had to have been more careful. Is not it normal for a mandemand accountability from the person who leaves her daughter? What kind of

    responsibility is to let a girl of three years up at such a high swing thatit can fall?

    Sarah had no answer for it.

    Believe me, Mr. Kane, Beth has learned his lesson, the hard way, issure I will be more careful with the swings in the future. Seems to want

    much to his daughter. I would give him a chance. Have you ever committed

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    13/86

    mistakes and learned from them? he ventured.

    Immediately he felt he had gone too far. The man's eyes

    appeared two burning coals, and his lips tightened. Sarah gasped andHe did not dare move a muscle, expecting the worst, but the fire of those eyes

    faded away.

    'I told you may come and say goodbye to Bambi, but I willhire her. The check you send will be generous enough cover theirexpenses until you find another job.

    Sarah was relieved. It was not easy to give in, but at least had

    concessions. Perhaps no more than the poor Beth deserved.They ate in silence for a few minutes, Kane was the first to speak.

    'I have not thanked him she whispered. Sarah noticed that the eyes of Kane

    were half closed, and I could not see if they had softness in his voice there was.

    Show sweetness avoided for fear that she might interpret the commentpersonally? Paula had said he was a bachelor desired. Was elusive with the

    Page 14women because they realized that many tried to seduce him?

    Was he remembering his wife, after two years?

    -Darme Thanks? Sarah repeated, with the same coolness.-The Emergency staff told me what I had done for my daughter, and I know it

    He stayed with her until they did x-rays, and that was his serenity which

    Beth helped keep whole.'No need, just did my job. Poor Beth was shattered at

    happened!

    -Destrozada By Bambi? Or at the thought of facing me?

    It was a mistake, an accident ... Sarah insisted firmly.

    An accident that could have had very serious results. It was not onlyToday, things have been more. I did not care, did things without thinking and I had to

    be on top of it constantly.'But Beth credentials ...? Sarah suddenly stopped, sighed

    deeply and wondered why he insisted. It was clear that he would not be born to him

    change his mind, and it may Beth. had his faults, but he sensed that

    Kane Brody nor a saint would be perfect enough.-Sus Credentials? Ah, yes, the preparation was good, implacable. It came with

    recommendation, but thus came the others.

    You -Las others? Sarah repeated. How many nannies had poor girl inthose two years?

    -The Nannies we've had so far been inadequate, or goneby his own desire. It never ceases to amaze me how little women endure.

    Sarah wondered what would have to endure. To him? Bambi did not seem to be adifficult or capricious child, and babysitters would not have to deal with the house as

    there was also a housekeeper. So he decided that he would not be a good boss with whom

    work.Sarah frowned. Bambi was serious pass from hand to hand with that

    ease.

    Isn't has a woman in the family who can help? A aunt? Do grandparents

    Bambi? A friend of the family?

    Not in a stable manner declared, looking thoughtful. Was he watching,or was looking through it? -. My mother helps me occasionally, but

    Right now is out of the country on a work trip.

    Sarah looked away from him and reminded Bambi. Even the very grandmother BambiWe placed her granddaughter work.My mother is not a homely woman Kane 'was as if reading her

    thoughts. You can spend some time with Bambi, but not continuously. She likes her

    job too, and freedom. And why would not take his own life? Bambi ismy responsibility added, shrugging.

    Sarah dipped his spoon in fruit salads and tried to look

    expression indifferent, uninvolved, after all, was not his business.

    Page 15

    Isn't have brothers and sisters?

    Only a brother. He is a diplomat and working out.'And the family of his wife?

    There was a long pause.

    What do you know about my wife? His tone changed, it became harder.Just what most people know, believe that He died in an accident

    then cease to believe he'd read in the paper. Sorry.

    I'd rather not talk about my wife said, eyes hard and cold tone.I understand, but what about your family ...? she insisted, with eyes questioningly. Do not you

    help with Bambi?

    Not being here in Australia. They are Italians living in Milan.

    Oh Sarah exclaimed, looking at his watch. I have to go back.

    I'll go up with you, 'said Kane, rising.Sarah hesitated a few seconds, he felt very small beside Kane. They began to

    walking and she tried to focus on the father of the child, and not the man himself.-Bambi Be fine -asegur Sarah, when they took the elevator to the floor

    next. Poor girl, then you only had him a parent with a job that

    left him time to be with her. A father who made up for his absence being

    too protective, too careful, too generous ... who risked hisnatural development as a result of it.

    She knew, better than most people, the effect of possession, the rigid Love

    over a child.The girl was asleep and breathing was noisy, noisy Too ?, seemed

    he asked anxiously. Sarah examined and assured him that was fine.-You Will be eleven, right? Kane asked softly, taking her

    arm.The touch of his hand on Sarah provoked a strong impact. "Would that effect on

    all women? "Sarah asked, struggling to keep his composure.

    Yes, it is, but do not worry, night nurses will watchperfectly.

    Kane looked frowning.

    15/86

    I'll come early in the morning, but at half past nine I'll have to leave

    an hour or less. I have an appointment I can not cancel.

    Sarah remained rigid, trying to ignore Kane's hand on his arm.-Bambi Be fine, Mr. Brody. Morning will be Sister Mary Browne,

    who has worked here for many years. I'll leave that to her, or whoever is, which

    stay with Bambi while you are away. It will not stay alone.Kane winced, as if I were not convinced, as if he thought theNurses are always busy.

    -The Fact that Bambi is quiet and not cry or yell, does not mean that no

    feel fear inside.Kane's concern for his daughter Sarah thrilled.

    Page 16

    'I understand -asegur, wishing removed his hand from her arm and

    able to think more clearly. Look, I myself will come to sit beside her as

    you are out.

    The gray eyes lit before stare.But you do not have to come up in the afternoon. I can not ask him to do

    that. Did not it take away hours of sleep?

    Sarah smiled, feeling weak before his intense gaze.Towards the eight o'clock, I will sleep eight hours ...

    Kane shook his head.

    I'll try to come my housekeeper and stay an hour would havethought of it before. Does not have much patience with children explained, in the eyes

    questioning of Sarah. It has more than sixty years and has not had children. It gets

    nervous with children and easily angered. It's like my mother, rest a while

    Bambi, but nothing more. However if you come to the hospital for a while I do not think ...

    -Please Interrupted Sarah, do not worry, Mr. Kane, if your housekeeperkeys can not come, or if you prefer not to tell. I will come anyway, will be a

    pleasure to see Bambi as a visitor, not a nurse.'Are you sure, Sarah? he asked. The eyes seemed to glow when the

    They stared. It was the first time I called her by her first name, and it was like

    a caress lips Kane. Of course he thought of it, but in its

    daughter.I'm sure he said firmly. With a nervous laugh, Sarah leaned

    back, and Kane had to let go. It was a relief to be free of his hand.

    Good evening, Mr. Kane said quickly, and turning on heelsHe walked into the room without looking back.

    Chapter3Sarah Good morning greeted the next day to enter the nine o'clock

    in the nursery. Kane Brody, with a gray tailored suit, sat atBambi side. His daughter was sitting and clutching a doll in her arms. The

    rota sheet beside her.

    -Sarah! Kane exclaimed, rising quickly. The gray eyes shonesurprised. Why had he gone? Or to see her without uniform? Definitely disapproved

    casual sweater and slacks, and the fact that he wore her hair in

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    16/86

    After severe slicked back wearing while working.

    He was wrong, because Kane's thoughts were positive. He thought of how

    brown hair softened her angular features, how his painting red lips andred jersey gave life to the face. Previously there was pretty much like him, but

    then realized it was beautiful.

    Sarah met his gaze, and lit a fire inside that stainedher cheeks. Did not expect?How is Bambi? he asked, pushing his father's eyes, and looking at the

    girl sitting on the bed. The girl looked at her and seemed to recognize her, even her eyes

    Page 17

    seemed to smile.

    Looks like he had nothing abnormal, but has slept much. SisterBrowne just come to examine and insists that's fine. Dr. Graham

    come a little later and decide if you can go home.

    As you see, Bambi Sarah said, leaning over the bed, I came today

    see you as a friend, not as a nurse and she pointed her red wool sweater thatbordadas- had white sheep. I do not become a nurse until this afternoon,

    and then you had gone home ... and did not want you to leave without saying goodbye.

    Goodbye ... why was sorry at the thought? Because it would be the last time I sawBambi? Or why would not see Kane Brody? Sarah tried to pull the

    thinking, knowing it was the latter.

    Bambi eyes fell on the plastic bag that Sarah was in hishand and opened it and pulled out a yellow wool animal. She had long legs, the

    round face and black nose.

    -Oogly Has come to visit you also said, placing the animal in bed

    Bambi before.

    -Oogly? Kane repeated Brody.So I have called Sarah said, shaking the animal. Kane's eyes

    looked with a strange expression. Was it fun or contempt? At the same time, he notedlines that the previous day had disappeared plied his face, making his

    friendlier face.

    Sarah turned to Bambi again.

    I did so myself and give it to one of the girls who was here, but he wastoo sick to care. So I had to come home expecting one

    special girl. Only special girls can take care of these animals, they need

    fondly.Sarah took the animal and gave him a hug.

    -Le Want to give you a hug? he asked Bambi, aware that Kanelistened with interest his words. I wish I knew what I was thinking.

    To his pleasant surprise, the girl left her wrist and took the animal woolhis arms.

    I think he likes you said Sarah. If you also like, I think I want

    stay with you.I like -the answer softly but audible, Sara surprised that

    He smiled fondly.

    17/86

    Then I think I will stay with you, you can even leave your house if you want.

    I think he wants to be only yours.

    The girl opened her eyes and looked at his father.Can I, Dad? he asked, too quietly.

    If Sarah says Oogly is yours, sweetheart, and promise to take care and give many ...

    Hugs, then you can take it. I think you should give thanks to Sarah.The huge eyes of the girl looked at Sarah.

    Page 18

    Thank murmured.

    I know you will be very happy with Oogly said, and without looking directly Kane

    continued talking. If you leave now, Mr. Brody, Bambi and I will

    all right. I'll stay with her until you return.Thank you, Sarah Kane said, rising and approaching her. It

    Thank you very much, besides my housekeeper could not come this morning because I had

    dentist appointment, but will come lunchtime, so you can go out to eat

    something, Sarah, come eat with me-it was more of a command than an invitation. SheHe tried not to show surprise.

    -I Do not ...

    Not in the hospital interrupted, with a wry smile, as if nohe seems good food from the cafeteria. We'll go to a place a little more

    healthy. There is a place near the port I think you'll like, all they have is

    exquisite."I guess you think I have ever eaten at a good restaurant" thought

    Sarah, with bristly hairs on the nape.

    Thanks, but not answered.

    Not reject me said with arrogant tone. Give me a chance

    thank you ... he added with a softer tone.I thanked him-and said, with a higher voice than it would

    dear. He was not invited because he wanted his company, was a kind ofpayment, because he was in debt-. Also, I can not go eat well dressed!

    -has Time to go home and change. I will be eleven o'clock or earlier.

    Then you can go home to change clothes. Hilda come at twelve to

    replace me.Sarah hesitated. Damn, why not accept an invitation? Not every day

    I invited a rich man, provided they keep their feet on the ground and not

    make illusions ...The millionaire bankers were not hunting for poor nurses as Sarah

    Vane. They used to people like her, and then paid with something, a mealfor example, and left in peace.

    And what if he had in mind something more than food? An adventure notmean nothing to a man like him, but do for her? What if she fell in love

    stupidly about him? Falling in love would be something that should never happen, not her.

    Not until she was ready to face the inevitable pain. Unfortunately,love, marriage, children were not part of the future of Sarah.

    I think not ... finally decided. She was not going to accede to their demands,

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    18/86

    whatever they were.

    Sarah stood aside to let her leave of her daughter, then Kane came out, without

    reordered to eat with him.A little later, one of the managers of the hospital, Mr. Fay White,

    He visited her in the room.

    Page 19

    Sarah, I can have a word with you?

    Sure replied.Sarah, I spoke with Mr. Brody moments ago. He told me

    had been invited to lunch to thank the special care with her daughter.

    When Sarah opened her mouth to speak Dr. White raised a hand.

    'Mr. Brody was a little annoyed that had rejected, and thoughtit could be a rule hospital. I said it was not. Sarah, if you order it from

    Again, it is better to accept.

    -Aceptar! Why? He replied, half amazed, half angry.

    -We Do not want antagonizing Mr. Brody, Sarah. He has donated to the hospitalrather generous sum of money. Just because it's the father of one of your

    patients no reason for ...

    -I Do not need the appreciation of Mr. Brody, my job is to take care ofchildren.

    I know, Sarah, and do it perfectly, but need donations as

    Mr. Brody. So if you ask it again, you should not refuse.-of-Not according believed he returned to ask, so I was saved. The

    Kane Brody men pleaded not!

    -very Well. I will not take any more time, Sarah. Was a detail that you come this

    morning to take special care to Bambi, let Mr. Brody do something

    thanks.I was reading a story to Bambi when Kane entered the room. They were so

    concentrated in history, that neither realized until SarahHe closed the book and heard the voice of Kane.

    You read very well, Sarah, in a way that children can understand declared,

    approaching the bed.

    Sarah blushed and looked up, proud of the comment. Although sheI had never seen her smile, her sensual lips curled at the ends of

    Sarah found so appealing.

    'I leave you with Bambi said, withdrawing from the bed. Goodbye. Bambi, if you're still hereafternoon I will see. In the afternoon I'll turn back into a nurse explained

    with a smile, then swallowed by looking at the girl's father. Would you ask againinvite her to eat? Irrationally stood waiting.

    -The Gather as soon as I leave here, after twelve he declaredKane. What is your address?

    Sarah's heart sank.

    I ... 'Suddenly anger replaced the initial joy. It's not even hadI asked! She had known hospital rules do not prohibit, and had given

    Indeed she would accept. And there was no possibility of rejecting it.

    It must be hard raising a child of three years you just said, trying

    Page 21

    solidarity with the problems they would face: Search

    Continuous a trustworthy nanny, the need to keep safe from Bambi

    any evil, a need that as Beth was obsessive, try the girlwas happy ...

    "Would it be happy your daughter?" Asked Sarah, pressing on the face of Bambi in

    her large eyes always waiting for something, always looking for something.The girl needed a mother, and brothers and sisters. A family safe, not a

    list of nannies.

    Kane-what am getting answered. Then gave a curve as

    accused, that Sarah did not fall into his lap due to seatbelt, butslightly bumped against him. He felt his shoulder, his cheek brushed the soft fabric of his

    costume. The intimate contact, so sudden, so unexpected, Sarah made her a

    deep sigh, and her heart pounding at full speed.

    I -Sorry! Sarah exclaimed, not daring to meet his eyes at the thought ofhe could feel the reaction of your body. How amuse you! Or is amused or you

    produce disdain.

    Sarah concentrated on the street at that hour of the meal with all placescrowded in the buildings of the city, in the vast tangle that was the port of

    Sydney a little further. Account on their way to Circular Quay West, was given to

    area known as the Rocks. She preferred to take her to an unknown areaher, but Kane had spoken of a special place ...

    Have you ever been in Bilson? Kane wanted to know, finding that

    now a place to park the car. Of course I had seen before, was close

    to Doyle and Circular Quay, and it was all glass and steel beams.

    No, never replied coolly, much more than he felt. Thoserestaurants were out of their wages. David, when he went with her, never could

    invite, he studied pharmacy at the time. The men who hadI left then used to carry Doyle or Chinese restaurants.

    He had always wondered what it would be the view from Bilson, they said the

    best harbor. They went inside, and were led through a broker

    carpeting, to a table with white tablecloth, next to the glass that ranentire restaurant. Sarah looked at Kane. Girl's lips trembled

    slightly.

    From there the building of the Opera and Sydney Cove scarcely seen, since thethe obstructed view a white liner.

    'Mrs want a table with a better view Kane suggested to matre-.Can we eat upstairs?

    Sarah blushed violently, how he knew what the lady wanted?I'm perfectly fine here said determined by taking the chair at his

    hand and placing the bag on the table. And here is stay anywhere, it seemed

    Eye say Kane.The eyes that looked amazed Sarah found. Why? Was

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    22/86

    He surprised her by asking what she did, and she did not know whether to be flattered or

    patronized.

    As they ate, I had the courage to ask for Beth.Why do you think I'm going to answer? he replied with a stern look and

    inquisitive.

    Sarah kept her eyes silently waiting to answer.-The Called admitted, after a pause. He refused to come and see Bambi bylast time. No doubt he is horrified to see me again. He is a person without character,

    no personality.

    Sarah imagined the imperious way he would have invited. Poor Beth!You mean you prefer a nanny who takes on you? he ventured.

    -like You? he answered. For a moment their eyes met. She was the

    first in his eyes, a smile on his lips to avoid an answer.

    Not bothers me the way you do, Sarah. I know you're talkingdriven by altruistic motives. Do not think of herself, she is thinking about Beth, in

    Bambi, including me. In the best for us. It is evidently a person very

    affectionate, Sarah 'Suddenly covered one of Sarah's hands with one of his.It is an excellent, efficient and competent nurse, Sarah -a slight smile curved

    his lips, making him wonder what an entirely smile. And it is

    ready and willing to fight for what you believe.

    The heat from the hand of man still left, even unable to speak.And he went a very attractive woman. And the men are

    obviously agree. You have not taken your eyes off since

    we entered he added, lowering his voice.Sarah reacted suddenly hand away. Was furious with herself

    for having listened. It is not believed, that were just words, words that certainly

    had used a thousand times before.

    Sure they do it for curiosity said caustically. Curious to knowKane last invitation Brody. Sarah grimaced lips. Did he think

    those compliments she was waiting for the food? Was her way to

    thanks to a woman? No, she should remember that he saw her only as thenurse her daughter. She was still useful to him, the welfare of her daughter was in

    his hands, and therefore he had to be considered with it.

    Man dominated again! Giving what he imagined she wanted. The

    great banker carrying food to nurse her daughter, but as I thought it was notenough, had to say nice things. The taking by other woman!

    Sarah, I've embarrassed declared, noting the anger of it even was

    may have read his thoughts.I'm not ashamed protested with a cold tone. Did he think they had said

    so few compliments on his life was going to blush?

    I should have guessed that it is not the kind of woman who needs it

    feed their vanity. You'd be surprised how many women and women who

    Page 24

    need and accept excited She said it in a strange way. Did win

    their confidence? Well it would not be this way. Would I forgive? he said, staring into

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    23/86

    eyes.

    Sarah tried to resist those eyes, though he smiled.

    -The Appeal does not sit well.Sarah took a breath in response to smile parted lips Kane, one

    smile widened slowly, changing the look in his eyes and removing

    toughest wrinkles of the face. The first smile she looked at that face! AsI had imagined, it was a wonderful smile.I should smile more often suggested Sarah, saying the first thing that

    came to mind. It makes you more human.

    Sarah swallowed when the smile disappeared, but fortunately hisexpression was not made tougher.

    Do you think I need to humanize? he asked, in a tone of mockery.

    I barely know, I saw him yesterday for the first time-and the next day, or even

    Later that same would go again, and forever. And Bambi also small. Thethought made her sad.

    Sarah Vane, I have the feeling that knows me better than most

    of the people I've known for -asegur years, with an intense look that almostSarah forced to look at your plate and focus on dessert.

    It's something intuitive, and I know that there is something in me that does not like, do not you,

    Sarah?

    The tone made her shiver to Sarah. I had the feeling that he wastrying to seduce her with his voice, his eyes, his questions. Why?

    Of course not, 'she said, trying to think of things he liked it.

    It was his love for Bambi, of course, and all the time he had left with her daughterprevious day. Also concern that the child is not left alone that day,

    when he had to leave.

    Did not clear the reasons why he had invited nurse her daughter.

    Maybe she was imagining less noble motives of the real, that was notjust take advantage of a young and naive nurse!

    She looked at him and thought he saw a strange gleam in his eyes, and Sarah thought he was

    reading his thoughts.Something tells me that's a fair person, Sarah, who prefer to discover a

    person good, better than their mistakes things. In my case, you have already guessed a few:

    impatience is one, another is a strong character who bullies others

    many times. I hope you do not use it against me.Sarah smiled and closed his eyes.

    -People Who do not see their own mistakes is the one I trust may change.

    So ... Do you think I can?-What Can change? Sarah looked amused. That depends on what they are

    his other errors, which does not support.

    It's a tough woman, Sarah said with a tone of gentle, tolerant voice. It was not a

    Page 25

    stupid man, and had noticed the distrust of Sarah. Wantcoffee?

    Sarah said yes and waited for the waiter.

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    24/86

    'Have you already decided who will care for Bambi when you leave home? asked

    Sarah, in a tone of almost professional voice. It was hard to have already met

    someone and not think I could take a few days off to do it himself.My housekeeper, Hilda, is a married niece, Meryl, who has offered to

    come a few hours until I can find someone he explained, making a

    hand gesture to the waiter to bring him the account-. Meryl has two children, andyou can take care of Bambi until they go three in the school.What will happen after three? he asked as he paid the bill.

    I'll try being said, staring at him. It will only be a few days until

    find someone.Bambi takes -does well with Meryl? Saran asked worriedly. Not good

    for Bambi succession of nannies that shortly.

    -Meryl Has cared for Bambi sometimes, some nights I have not had

    nanny and I had to leave continued, in a tone of voice that expressedimpatiently. Meryl is a sensible woman accustomed to children can trust

    more than in Beth she seemed to say. Are we going? he asked, looking at the clock.

    He would have wanted to see Bambi, naturally. And wanting to leave her and theirquestions? Sarah thought, picking up her purse.

    Kane had spoken quickly, which showed that the invitation Sarah

    He had been somewhat motivated by education. Had Kane decided that she did not deserve

    penalty try harder?'It was a very enjoyable meal, Mr. Brody. Thank You.

    Call me Kane, please, Sarah. At least said outside the hospital, with

    sensual and provocative tone.As you wish answered. What had he done to make her feel good?

    Because he knew they were not going to turn to see after that day? Because he knew that

    he was safe?

    Sarah sighed deeply. Why it was so friendly and attentive? Just becauseshe was the nurse Bambi and had taken a special interest in the child?

    But, after all, was one of the nurses Bambi, nothing more ...

    Chapter 4Sarah did not really know what he did he reached his half hour before work

    usual. A sixth sense, he thought then. But when he came into the nursery to

    half past two, and he found Kane Brody who at the time was dating Bambi in

    arms, felt an infinite relief. A few minutes later and he would have lost toalways without saying goodbye to them.

    Dr. Granan Did you come? he asked stupidly, knowing there

    could leave without your permission.-Sarah! exclaimed Kane Brody, outlining one of his peculiar smile,

    Page 26

    Sarah smiled too- making. We were not going to get away without thanking you and

    goodbye.

    She looked at him with an uncertain expression. Do Not? With Bambi and all the toys andKane's arms?

    Not needed ... he began Sarah sadly. I am glad to say

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    25/86

    goodbye to Bambi. I ...

    'I left a note, Sarah, to invite you to eat tomorrow at our house. Be

    Bambi will be pleased if you come, and you will see how it is, if not aska lot of.

    Sarah was speechless for a few seconds, then a sudden excitement through her.

    That would be ... I ... managed to say. Demons! Why was stuttering?"Kane remains concerned about his daughter's it, and want a nurse to examine.Not even be him at home, he found a nanny during the day, do not you

    Remember? "

    Then she thought something else, that's why he had invited to lunch the day before.If you want, Sarah, I can catch you when you go home from work. And not

    I'll have to give directions.

    Will you go to eat at your house tomorrow?

    I do not want to part with Bambi these days, but Meryl's home. MerylYou can take home the afternoon, in time for you to go to the hospital, where

    she goes to pick up their children.

    But you will not come right, let me take my car ...Not protest, Meryl not mind, she is always willing to help.

    It is always very helpful, much more than qualified nannies to have to

    pay a good salary.

    I'm sure Beth has learned his lesson.You are-always too tolerant, too fair! he exclaimed, in a tone

    slightly surprised voice, as if he had not seen too much justice in their

    lifetime. And, of course, in the circle where he worked, justice would not be a virtueprecisely, and second chances would be strange.

    Sarah stood and looked at it would Bambi.

    I'll visit you tomorrow, Bambi. Would you go?

    The girl nodded, a faint smile on his face.I'll take care of Oogly promised in a whisper.

    Sarah stroked his little arm and impulsively leaned over and kissed her cheek.

    To her surprise, she hugged and kissed him back. A warm kiss andhumid.

    When he backed pleased, cheeks burning, she noticed that Kane Brody

    watched. She looked into it and discovered a disturbing expression alarmed.

    Not that he liked spontaneous gesture? Would not you like your daughter you besisa stranger?

    Or was remembering something? Perhaps he remembered his dead wife's mother

    Page 27Bambi? Or the emptiness of their lives, after the bitter loss? A void that no

    nanny, or nurse, or housekeeper could fill?Sarah spent all morning waiting for the phone to ring: imagined

    Brody Kane would call saying he had something unexpected and would have to cancel the

    appointment.But there was no call, and twelve o'clock, a Jaguar reached the spot

    where they had been.

    Sarah was dressed more casually than the previous day, with a skirt

    Eventually, it got to sit beside him, and a wool sweater.

    'That light blue suits you, Sarah, will highlight blue eyes. AlthoughI know you do not like being met.

    Not I have nothing against a spontaneous compliment, but I do not like if they are ...

    -Artificiales? Educated?Yes, when you are just a compliment to please women. When they saynothing.

    -What promised'll keep that in mind, with an impersonal tone of voice.

    Sara put aside the issue.How is Bambi? You happy to be home?

    -Contenta ... Kane repeated thoughtfully. My daughter does not usually show signs of what

    feeling, it's a bit ... elusive, shy he admitted sadly. But you,

    Sarah, you get to react. If it was some time with you, I'm sure itcompletely transformed.

    There was a long pause, and Sarah felt her heart pounding at full speed.

    What did he mean? For Kane Brody, she was just nurse her daughter,nothing more. And she just wanted to be that, never wanted more. It could never be more.

    -Te Noticed, Sarah, when yesterday you kissed? Kane stopped, as if

    difficult to choose the right words. It was the first time someone tried to kiss

    were not admitted. Not even me Kiss me if you do not ask.Sarah held her breath. I did not know what to say, what to say. He had noticed that the

    confession had not been easy for him, and she did not want to spoil that moment when

    had stripped the soul before it. I did not want to see again his face expressionhard and cynical, with the expression that frightened Beth. It would be a pity, now that

    began to open up a bit.

    Suddenly, he took the car to the curb and stopped the engine. Sarah was stunned.

    He looked out the window, did not think he lived there ... There were no houses in sight, just aparking and a school.

    Sarah Kane noted that he took her hand.

    Tell me, Sarah, what I have to know. Me I'm asking since yesterday. Whywill you leave?

    -Marcharme?

    Yes, leave the hospital. Why did you leave your job?

    How do you know I'm leaving? Who ...?

    Page 28

    'I told Dr. Graham. Is it a secret? Kane's eyes expressed

    curiously. I understood that you were going to leave at the end of the week, so you musthave planned some time ago.

    Aye, and no, it's not a secret said, a little dazed. Would you gave Dr.Graham information voluntarily? Or he had been asking questions about

    it? As if elses!

    Kane seemed to read his thoughts.'I was telling the doctor how grateful I was, and intuition with

    you treat children. I feel like I have not thanked enough.

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    27/86

    But it's not true. It really is not necessary.

    'Dr Graham told me you were an excellent nurse and all the

    hospital would feel you left. So ... what are you gonna do, Sarah? Are you going towork as a nurse anywhere else? Are you getting married? Do you marches outside the country?

    Sarah looked away from him, because he needed to escape his power, knowing that

    I could escape.I want to continue working as a nurse, and saw an ad in callingnurses to work in rural areas.

    -En Rural areas? repeated surprised. Why you want to work in the

    inside?-why Not? Interior needs nurses.

    'Do not you care about go to some distant hospital? Does being single? Not bothered by

    Heat?

    I was at the north confessed, lifting her chin. I know what awaits me-notYou'd need to tell him he had only been in Alice Springs and Ayers Rock

    camping-. And none of those things will bother me.

    'Have you ... boyfriend? Do not you want to have a stable life?-Do Not! he exclaimed, with a more aggressive tone than he deserved. But to him that he

    cared?

    -The Truth is that you are young, you have much time left. Why were you going to

    want a stable life?Kane's tone bothered.

    I have twenty-six and thirty-six but have not change anything. Do Not

    I plan to marry. Never. I'm not a woman who likes marriage!She saw a strange gleam in the eyes of Kane. Were you surprised? Relieved?

    Sarah felt a deep anger, did he would have thought ...?

    "Damn, Kane Brody," he said quietly, "I imagine it's a relief

    find out that I had not planned anything with you, a great relief that I did not thinkyour invitation today or yesterday had something personal. "

    'When you think go?

    Sarah did not know why I was interested in your future. He took a breath and tried notangrier and see things objectively. Men with position

    Kane Brody, millionaire widower, as it were, yet quite attractive, would

    Page 29

    women behind continuously.

    It must be exhausting. Although it may he liked being surrounded by women!He thought Bambi and sighed. It was certain that he wanted to find a

    new mother for her daughter, if not now, then in the near future. Or do not wantBambi share with anyone anymore? You may think that no woman outside

    able to replace his wife so suddenly taken away.Sarah?

    -I'm Sorry. The truth ... Sarah thought about what he would say. Not much,

    decidi-. I'll first take a short vacation, I have not slept for almost ayear. Blue Mountains have friends who have invited me to go to rest there.

    -A Blue Mountains? Nothing more risky? Do not travel to another country?

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    28/86

    -The Travel to another country are expensive exclaimed, immediately regretting it. What

    Kane would import Brody money problems? What would you mind someone

    I had to help his widowed mother? What could care a mothercontinually insisted to keep the family together in the house, but this house

    I was shattered and continually need to be repaired?

    Isn't better follow? he asked abruptly, to avoid furtherquestions-, Are not you anxious to see how your daughter?Surely ... Sarah's heart sank. Would he have been thinking

    ask her out nanny Bambi? It was common among nurses, have

    extra work outside the hospital. Now that he knew his plans would not ask, butshe never would have accepted. Would not want to get too involved in the problems of

    a family, and less family Kane. That daughter and the father ... it was dynamite.

    Sarah felt a shiver run down his spine. She had to stay

    firm and not too involved personally. Especially if there was the slightestrisk of heart suffer.

    You're right, 'said Kane, interrupting her thoughts. We have long

    time here!Sarah was surprised to see the smirk on the lips of Kane.

    From an aesthetic point of view, the ultra modern house Kane was one of the

    most impressive houses Sydney. He had several plants and rose on a

    rock wall overlooking a cliff. From inside the windows of the wallsgave a kaleidoscopic image of the port.

    But it was an inappropriate place for a child, with cliff

    stone, steep stairs and continuously agitated at the bottom water. No youKane wonder he was so protective, so obsessed with the safety of his daughter.

    -Bambi Only play indoors or on the terrace Kane replied to

    Sarah question. It's too dangerous, but the deck is sunny and large, and the

    home too.It was true! The enormity of the inner luminosity and surprised Sarah, a

    When he had gone through the double doors.

    Whoever it was that house decorator definitely a professional,

    Page 30

    I had gotten an original and nice house, but not very homey, and less for agirl. Sarah wondered how anyone could relax in a home with a carpet

    white as soft as velvet, with silk covered chairs blue

    clear, and with a delicate sculptures and ceramics from China in eachcorner and on every table. Even television was discreetly hidden behind

    handmade wooden wardrobe.But he made no comment, thought the decor, with or without assistance from a

    professional, have been choosing the deceased wife of Kane, and criticize the house wouldas criticizing her. Kane probably want to leave it as it was. May

    even they had chosen all together, wanting a house according to the circle of

    Kane relations.This explained why Bambi had that introverted. And so

    she was there, she thought with a sigh, to see how she was the girl.

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    29/86

    Meryl 'I told the girl was in bed until you declared the scallops

    Kane, nevndola by a corridor where there were numerous doors.

    -No Need is ... Sarah stopped, before the eyes of Kane.I mean, if it's a quiet life and not let it organize scandals ...

    Sarah he finished with a smile, trying to imagine Bambi shocking.

    Of course, it would not be in that house.He blinked when Kane into the room of the girl. It was a palace, thelarger room I had ever seen, exquisitely painted and furnished with

    Beautiful mobile hanging from the ceiling. What most surprised is that everything was

    tidy, nothing out of place, nothing old or worn. The dolls, toys and booksthey were on the shelves could have come at the time of the store.

    Unintentionally, the expression "a golden cage 'came to mind.

    Bambi was sitting on a bed Elizabethan style, with Oogly arms. An

    young redhead woman interrupted the story I was reading up and stood.-Meryl, This is Sarah Vane, the hospital declared Kane.

    -Bambi Okay, Mr. Brody.

    I see you've drawn the curtains' said Kane, frowning. Thewindow faced another view of the harbor, the sea was deep blue.

    -Bambi Said the light did not bother him in the eyes and gave him a headache

    immediately replied the woman.

    Yeah, sure, Bambi never complains Kane said, looking questioninglyto Sarah. Should not be dark few days?

    Sarah looked at Bambi and flashed a bright smile.

    Oh, no, do not think. Not if the light does not bother him. I'm sure Meryl, whohave small children, knows what makes Sarah approached the bed and looked into the eyes

    huge for the child. Okay, Bambi, nice to see you again. Did you sleep Oogly

    all right?

    The girl nodded. He said nothing, but smiled.All right, how about you, Bambi? Did you sleep well too?

    Page 31

    The girl nodded again.

    'Has your head hurt?

    -Do Not.Very well, you want to get out of bed for a while? Sarah suggested. The girl looked at her

    father.

    Well, if Sarah says she's fine ... Kane said. Meryl, you can dress upBambi while teaching at Sarah the view from the terrace. Lunch in the

    glazed room was a little chilly ago. I like to eat with my daughterI can whenever said to Sarah. You may not eat as much as I'd like, but

    it's okay to have only three years.I have almost four said a child's voice.

    It's true, within two weeks you will have four admitted Kane, turning

    to see his daughter with an expression of infinite affection, but Sarah noticed something else inthose eyes. Are you hurt that his wife was not there to share your birthday?

    I'd like to eat more 'said the man.

    stripes and gray pants were too informal for Brody's mansion.

    He took a deep breath and walked to the door.

    -Kane! exclaimed nervously in the presence of that tall man. Have Idelayed? I'm sorry you come to pick me up, I hope you have not had

    problems in finding a place to park.

    'I have not had any problems; and you shall not retarded, I who has comebefore.I'll get my purse.

    Isn't you invite me to your house? he asked, in a tone of slow voice, as if

    had no hurry.Had he deliberately gone before? Sarah looked at him suspiciously. Is not

    I could see well the face, because the light coming from behind him. What did he want? Can I

    see your

    floor, to ascertain whether their standard of living was adequate for the Brody family?I'm sorry he apologized Sarah, stepping back to let pasar-. Please,

    enters had perhaps gone for other reasons, for example to cancel. Sarah

    It saddened with the thought, he had been anxious to see again Bambi.Just Bambi?

    It's a nice flat 'said Kane.

    She gave him an incredulous look, recalling his spectacular home and

    immaculate.Sorry to be a little messy he apologized, looking at books and

    magazines filling the shelves and table, numerous items that had

    collected over the years, huge floor cushions, and tapes and disksdrawn either way around the stereo.

    Beautiful, warm, homey ... It's cozy.

    Page 33You mean you have some charm Sarah admitted with a smile on

    lips. What did he want? -. You want to sit?Thank said, and sat on one of the two old chairs.

    'I will be hard to get up there Sarah exclaimed, laughing.

    Maybe not want, is comfy.

    It's very old, I got in a very old house also -acert answer.Sarah sat on a chair and leaned forward, as if waiting for what would

    below.

    How long have you left your house? Kane asked, settling inarmchair.

    Had he come to chat? Because he had some free minutes?'I changed when I started my nursing studies. My mother continues

    living in our house forever. It's too big for her, and gardentoo, but I can not convince you move to another location.

    Do you live alone?

    Yes replied, feeling something like guiltily. My father died agoA few years after I had changed me.

    -Tienes Brothers or sisters?

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    32/86

    'Unfortunately no. My mother could not have more children. Always says

    was very lucky to have me. Before I arrived, he had

    several abortions.Why had come to visit? You wanted to know whether it was appropriate for her daughter?

    Bambi Did you sleep well? he asked, in an attempt to prevent further

    asking about his family. Is Meryl with her today too? Sarah wassurprised that he had no hurry.-HA Slept like a baby. He has had no headaches or anything related

    with the fall.

    He is recovering well admitted Sarah. Children are stronger thanwe think-not amiss to remember that, to not treat his daughter

    like a piece of porcelain.

    He's waiting impatiently for you to go now, Sarah. He is delighted with you.

    Kane Oogly you and grimaced. Thanks to Oogly has lost interest inold sheet, so you've done me a favor, Sarah. Another one, to be honest.

    Sarah stared at him, and how he was watching made him

    get nervous.Your house is very nice, Kane said, to fill the silence.

    -Nice One? I repeated surprised, as if I did not think so. As if to him it was

    only ... home.

    Visually it was spectacular with those harbor views in every room.For Kane would be very relaxing.

    It's the most beautiful house I have seen repeated sincerely.

    'Of course it must be so, it costs a lot to have it the way my ...

    Page 34

    Kane stopped abruptly, as angry for having spoken of something intimate.

    -De How your wife wanted? Sarah said slowly. "Do not lockin yourself, let out your feelings, your anguish or anything

    feel "Sarah asked quietly.Kane frowned at the mention of his wife, and for a moment she thought

    I was going to reject his prayer, closing its shell.

    I gave him leeway over the house, and it was worth ... then.

    Kane's eyes clouded. He felt pain, shame, bitterness, frustration ...Sarah could have sworn I saw everything on your face. Pain because his wife

    he had very little time to enjoy what she had created? Does it hurt

    because he had been taken the life so early? Bitterness before thecruelty of life? Frustration at not being able to foresee what would happen?

    It's a beautiful house, Kane, and has beautiful harbor views. This isunbelievable. At night should be truly magical.

    'You think that, right? Kane's voice was now uncaring, unfeeling.With a gasp, he gripped the arms of his chair and stood up.

    She would also get up but could not, Kane stood before her and put

    hands on his shoulders.'You think it's beautiful, but what ...?

    'But what? Sarah said, swallowing.

    -Kane Forgive me! I ...

    Forget it said, without soltarla-. I asked you impassive voice he added, the

    eyes closed, giving no clue what I thought at the time. Neithercould tell if he was angry. Angry with her or himself, or simply

    thoughtful about what she had said. Although Sara doubted: normally

    people like Kane Brody rarely doubted themselves, let alone admit thatwere wrong. When taking a decision, it was something final.Let me go get my bag whispered Sarah, but instead pressed

    more against his hard chest.

    Ago-takes courage to face me like that, Sarah. Mmm ...smell good she added, holding her.

    Sarah looked dazed, licking her lips. He realized

    he looked at his mouth ... and felt his cheeks flush. At that moment, I knew

    instinctively what was going to happen next and could not move away from it,He waited, hoping it happened. And then Kane's face bent over her mouth and

    he kissed her.

    The pressure Kane's lips, wet and sensual on hers was aso shocking sensation, her whole body trembled. Her response was

    instinctively opened his trembling lips and left.

    Kane sat back dropping. He seemed shocked or surprised how

    Page 36

    I had done and her reaction.She staggered slightly as he released her. Not even want to touch it!

    Was she worried that she'd read something about that kiss? Would you believe that, as

    result of that kiss, she expected something he was not willing to give?

    "Damn!" Sarah said quietly, without knowing who scolded if he or she

    same.I'm not going to apologize, Sarah. He wanted to kiss you, you're very attractive said,

    fingers brushing the girl's cheek.Sarah took a deep, confused and nervous sigh.

    You and I, Sarah ... get along. Do not you think? nothing more to say, the face of

    Kane took on a look of impatience. What I mean, Sarah ... she murmured,

    looking in the eyes of the girl. I like you, Sarah, I respect you ... I trust you.Sarah's stomach contracted. Could it be that he was beginning to ...

    Do Not! It was crazy. But looking at her in a strange way ... Sarah tried not

    react to that look, to the sensuality emanating from him. What did he meanthat trust her? What hoped he did not tell anyone about what

    just happened? What trusted not to think something false? Or simply thattrusted as a friend?

    Not what you have to worry replied coolly despite everythingfelt inside.

    Kane then smiled, one of those rare smiles, looking

    intently.No, I know, Sarah She pressed her hand and she felt relief from him. Come on, is better

    we leave now. Never thought I'd be so long. He had planned to stay only ten

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    35/86

    minutes.

    Ten minutes ... just in time to see how his house to ask

    some important things. Not enough to lose control and kiss her.If he had lost control.

    Sarah thought about it as they walked toward the car. Was Kane Brody one

    man who easily lost control? She had never thought of that. Since it wasa man of vast experience and a strong character.I sorry that I gone? It seemed, on the contrary, had an air of satisfaction. And

    Additional Sarah could not forget the intensity of his gaze a moment before,

    intensity he had not tried to hide in no time. That's what mostSarah confused.

    Still thinking about it when they reached the great house on the

    port. Was he making a mistake going back there, engaging more in your life?

    There was no denying that she felt extremely attracted to him, more thanshe was willing to admit. No other man had that effect on

    she had none left so stunned. Keep watching, risk involved

    more in his life he was stupid, it was like playing with fire. What if theirfeelings is out of hand? What if you ended up falling for him?

    Page 37

    There was no future for them, either. It was risking a complete misery.

    Damn Kane Brody!

    That would be the last time I would go home to visit, however bitter and sadresult. I finished was better soon.

    You're very quiet, 'said Sarah Kane, when he took her back home

    around two in the afternoon. That day, he had insisted on taking her personally,

    because he said he had an appointment in town. The children of Meryl had hiked

    with the school and she would stay with Bambi all day.I have some problems' said Sarah, trying to be independent,

    to feel independent, with pale blue eyes fixed on the road that hadfront.

    He had enjoyed two hours in the company of Bambi and Kane, on the terrace overlooking

    the port. He had eaten a meat pie and a salad made by Hilda, while

    Meryl was out buying the store, leaving them alone. Was very difficult to sayBambi goodbye, tell him he was leaving for a while. Bambi eyes had

    filled with tears, but she had accepted him as if he were accustomed to

    people out of your life easily.Tomorrow will be my last day in the hospital he reminded Kane. I'll leave the

    home Sunday and take all my things to my mother's house, so I'll be allcollecting all weekend. While working out, I will not need my house

    and all my stuff. Next week I will go to Blue Mountains to rest, and I'mforward. It will be wonderful to have two weeks off!

    -Ya You have decided to go to Blue Mountains? Kane asked mockingly.

    I need that holiday may not be your idea of a vacation, but notwe can all go out whenever we want Sarah said, almost shouting.

    Sarah immediately regretted, Kane did not deserve an answer as well. The idea

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    36/86

    goodbye to him was making it got cranky.

    I'm sorry murmured.

    But what if you could you would like to go abroad? Kane asked, unawareoffended.

    She stared at him. Her cheeks flushed, if he would give money ...

    'I do not have plans yet, but someday I'd do.Have much time, all the rest of my life ahead.Do you have a valid passport?

    Why do you ask that?

    'Have you?He thought about lying, but could not.

    Yes, but I will not need it.

    What if I ask you something?

    'Your? he asked in surprise. What may need Kane Brody, plusa nanny for his daughter?

    -If You're planning to talk to care for your daughter to be the nanny of Bambi ...

    Page 38

    'Still you still think that? Kane said, stopping the car abruptly.

    Sarah realized at that moment that had come to his house. Think you'vebeen kind to you to ask you? Like I said, Sarah, there is nothing further

    my intention!

    -Do Not? As you said you needed something ... managed to say embarrassed.Sarah, what I need is ... what I would like is to see you again he declared,

    turning to stare her eyes, took one of her hands.

    She felt her heart sank.

    -Bambi Is well said Sarah, aware of the warmth of his hand, his

    temblor-. It really is well repeated, not daring to look at him. Not anymoreneed for a nurse to come.

    But you you're just a nurse for us, Sarah. You're a friend,a good friend-his voice was silky smooth, deep and whispering. Both

    we want to see more, know better. We want all know better.

    The voice of Kane was haunting, mesmerizing. Sarah had to

    use all his will to muffle it. I hated how weak it made him feel.I had to say no to that!

    Kane, do not think we ...

    -Tiempo? Sarah, you would have if you were not next to Blue Mountains week.You could come to Italy with Bambi and me.

    -What?That you come to Italy with us. Sarah, I'm not being clear, I know. Leave

    explain to me, but not here ...Sarah felt terror. If reentered his house ... If she allowed that

    sensuality weaken, break their defenses ...

    I thought you had a date managed to say.Yes, but at three, at the same time you have to go to work, Sarah.

    I wanted to leave home earlier to talk to you. Will you let me come into your house? -his

  • 7/21/2019 False Lover

    37/86
