Catch At Straws Kelly's

POV

Living in a new environment wasn't easy, harder because I'm living with no one but my little angel by my side. No one's there to help me when she won't stop crying because of something I couldn't figure out. No one would carry her once my arms were numb and hurting already. No one would offer to take care of her at night whenever she wakes up and cries.

Those things were done by Pierce when I was with him but then I decided to leave and I won't regret anything

"Please take care of her while I'm at work. I will do my best to go home early."

The nanny I hired for my daughter smiled and nodded at me, She's a middle-aged woman living in the next apartment I'm renting. She offered help when we had a conversation one time and I mentioned to her that I'm searching for a nanny.

I've been living in this apartment for almost 4 months now and my savings were about to run off. I need to start working now so I would be able to save for my baby.

"Don't worry about anything Elle. I will take care of Yuki"

Obviously, I had to hide my real identity so I named myself Elle and Yuki for Snow which also means snow in Japanese.

"It's hard to raise a kid especially if you're a single mom. So you have to work really hard and save for the future of your daughter. However, you can always count on me. I'll be very willing to help and support you."

I smiled at her. "Thank you, Martha. I don't know what I'd do without you."

True to Martha's words, it wasn't easy. And because I'm hiding behind a fake name, I can only apply for jobs that don't need my legal documents.

I'm currently working as a dishwasher in a restaurant It's a very exhausting job but I have to work hard. There was even a time that I went to work while sick. I almost passed out but thinking about my baby makes me strong. Snow is the only strength I can hold on to now. As long as she's with me, I can move mountains.

"The expenses of living are rising. So I had to raise the rent fee. I'm sorry about this, Elle. If it's just me, I would spare you but you know that I have three little childrens I'm feeding."
