Lucy's POV;The next place the driver stopped was Danny's kindergarten, where we picked up the kids and we got into the car."Miss Lucy, why are you in the car with us?" Joseph, Desmond's son asked me in confusion."Well, I will be your nanny from now on." I told him and his eyes sparkled."Really? Daddy did it, yeah!" Joseph squealed.Daddy did it?Does it mean Joseph wanted me as a nanny since."Danny, we are going to stay together from now on." Joseph told Danny who was in the back seat with him."Does your Daddy stay at home as well?" Danny asked Joseph excitedly.Danny seems fond of Desmond."Yes Danny, when my Daddy comes back from work you will see him." Joseph told Danny who smiled."Yeah." The kids cheered, they were happy with the arrangement.I guess I don't have to worry about Danny not adjusting well to the new house. I talked to him about leaving our old house yesterday. He seemed a bit sad but I was glad he was happy now.The driver was driving for a while. I haven't be
Lucy's pov;Felicia, the head maid, wasn't even looking at the muddy shoes or the muddy floor, she was apologizing to him for not being here to welcome him back.Oh !I think I would get fired ,when I haven't even stayed up to a month.Oh my big mouth."I am so sorry sir, I have been mopping the floor since morning. I was just upset that I saw mud on the floor ." I apologized immediately and he narrowed his eyes on me."Did something happen sir ?" Felicia asked after my apology, but Mr Desmond didn't reply to her. He was still staring at me...more like glaring.His glare was intense."Why is she here?" He asked Felicia through gritted teeths and I furrowed my brows in confusion.Did he seem to forget that he was the one that hired me?He should see I was working."I haven't told her about some certain rules sir, I am really sorry she has just stayed here for two weeks." Felicia informed him.Felicia was an older woman, maybe in her mid 50's so I think she has stayed here long."I see,
Lucy's POV;Joseph and Danny got tired of sitting on the blanket on the grass ,so they stood up and began blowing bubbles and chasing after it ,while I watched them with a smile on my face and Desmond was eating the snacks.I smiled happily ,as I watched them play.Danny didn't have this much fun at my Stepmom's house, because he had no one to play with at home and my stepmom was always cooking so that was the only thing she did with him when I left him in her care."You seem to have gotten wary of me, did I do something wrong?" Desmond asked me out of the blue and I frowned."No sir ,you didn't do anything wrong, I just understood that you are my boss and I shouldn't act too friendly towards you." I replied not sparing a glance at him."That's why I wanted to apologize for what happened the other day." He said as he cleared his throat."There is no need to do such a thing, I understand I crossed a line and I apologized." I replied."But it seems I got you upset since you were mopping
Lucy's pov;Every day in the mansion made me feel rejuvenated.I am really enjoying this life that was by far away from my toxic step family who just stole from me.I was helping the kids to do their homework in Joseph's room.I have told Danny that he shouldn't go into Joseph's room everyday, but he didn't listen to me because Joseph always asks him to come in and Desmond doesn't mind.Joseph was curious about everything, so it wasn't hard for me to guide him on what to do.Joseph is really a sweet kid, I don't know why all the other nannies he had got fired.After helping him with his homework he thanked me."You are really great Miss Lucy, thank you, the other nanny was always looking at Daddy whenever I was asking her a question,she never paid attention to me." He informed me."Oh, I guess you didn't like her?" I asked him and he shook his head."I didn't like her, but I like Miss Lucy." Joseph told me happily as he continued doing his homework.Desmond is really handsome and rich
Lucy's POVAfter the encounter with my boss , Desmond,I just stayed outside near the garden.If he was trying to get a reason to fire me, heck I wouldn't give me one.I went to the back of the house and sat at the garden bench.This was the only place I knew I could stay and hide from Desmond since the maid attended to the garden this morning. I don't think they will be coming back here for the rest of the day, so it will be only me here.Even if they come looking for me they will find me. I will just stay low here so it gets a little bit dark then I will see if Desmond has gone to his room."Lucy, what are you doing here?" I heard a familiar voice out and I turned my head to the direction of the voice to see Felicia.Heck what was she doing here?Did Desmond send her to come find me since she was the one that had been pleading on my behalf."I just wanted to have a moment to myself, that's why I came out." I replied."Who exactly are you trying to fool, I don't think it's me. I heard
Lucy's POV:I turned to the voice and smiled."No thank you." I replied as I scurried off somewhere but with him.This guard always gives me the creeps with the way he was always staring at me.I have been here for almost a month and he was the only one I found weird. I better stay far away from him.Last thing I needed was a man bothering me now."What were you doing with him?" One of the maids asked me suspiciously.Oh now she's gonna spread news about me that ain't true.I need to defuse her thoughts,I don't want her thinking I was in a relationship with the guard."Oh nothing, I was just thinking while I was walking. I lost my way and he called me to bring me back to reality." I told her."Oh I thought it was something else, ma'am Felicia is looking for you, I think she's in the kitchen." The maid informed me."Oh ,okay thank you for telling me." I replied as I scurried off to the kitchen.I met up with Felicia and she told me to go and check on the kids, so I went to check on the
Desmond's pov;I was walking down the stairs after getting dressed for the shareholders meeting I had.I wanted to call out for my driver ,when I saw Lucy was mopping the living room with her back turned to me, my footsteps were light so I think she didn't hear me.I decided not to disturb her as I got down the stairs, I could hear her humming a song to herself,I think she knows how to sing because her humming was right on tone.I stopped a foot away from her."Good morning Lucy." I greeted her and she flinched as she slowly turned to me.I always wonder why she makes all this surprise looks when I call her."Good morning,sir, I didn't see you there." She said as she cleared her throat."You seem uncomfortable around me." I said as I took a step closer to her and she took a step backwards."See what I mean, you stepped backwards just because I walked towards you." I told her."I was just surprised to see you, you just showed up out of nowhere." She said as she rolled her eyes at me."
Lucy's pov:The past never seems to want to leave us alone, it haunts us day and night.I thought I was prepared,but I guess I would never be prepared to face that one man that I trusted with my whole heart and body and he threw me aside when he was done with me.After Desmond mentioned Andrew's name, my mind was just blank.I was genuinely happy that Desmond was understanding and did not ask about Andrew any further when he saw how upset I was at the mention of Andrew's name.Desmond is just unbelievably kind, even though I was glad he didn't ask about Andrew, that night, I couldn't fall asleep.I tossed on the bed for hours, different scenarios of Andrew and I meeting played in my mind, it all made me feel so upset and angry.I finally fell asleep after all the restless tossing around on the bed, but I had a nightmare, one that shook me and made me feel scared.I jolted upright from the nightmare, panting and sweating.I had a nightmare where Andrew took Danny, my son , away from me
