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
Lucy's POVI went back to Desmond's mansion ,so the driver and I could go pick the kids up from school.In the night when the kids were in bed I wanted to talk to Desmond, but the maids and employees were not allowed to go upstairs because that was where he stayed. Even Joseph, his son's room, is downstairs. I heard Desmond moved his son's room downstairs after he fell from the stairs and broke his arm when he was young.I waited in the living room for about an hour checking if Desmond would come downstairs, but he didn't.Felicia saw me and asked why I was still awake."I need to talk to Mister Desmond about something important, so I was waiting here to see if he would come downstairs." I informed her."Can't you wait till tomorrow ,you can tell him what's on your mind when he's going to work?" Felicia asked.I don't know if that crazy lady, Helen, was actually following me ,so I should inform him that she might be monitoring anyone coming out of his Mansion, including him."No, I
Lucy's pov;Desmond began to laugh at Tim's words and I wondered what could be so funny?Tim was obviously pissed at Desmond for getting involved in this, Tim is just stupid he doesn't know how to take no for an answer.I just hope this doesn't lead into a bigger argument because that was what I wanted to avoid in every possible way but it can't be helped, some people need to be put in their place."Are you even listening to yourself?" Desmond asked him."Do you know him?" Desmond asked me and I shook my head.I noticed he didn't want to call my name so that Tim won't know what my name is, he is a really cautious guy.No wonder his company is doing this well."No, I don't know him. I have told him I wasn't interested in whatever he had to say and he doesn't want to listen to me." I replied to Desmond's question as I glared at Tim."Did you hear the lady, why are you still standing in front of me like a man that lost his way ,won't you leave?" Desmond asked Tim and Tim scoffed."Look d
Lucy's POVI took a deep breath before speaking."Mercy ,why are you calling me?" I asked curtly and she cleared her throat again."How have you been doing ?how is my grandson?" Mercy, my stepmom asked and I rolled my eyes.She was worried about Danny but she couldn't stop her children from stealing the money I was going to use to buy a gift for him.I wanted to say something about how he didn't really care about Danny, but I ended up holding myself back.There was no need wasting time on this woman and talking about things that have already been said."We are fine." I told her.Even if we had such a terrible relationship,she is still my father's wife. I should respect her even if she and her children have no respect for me."So, I have been waiting for a while now but I have not seen you return , so when are you coming back home I miss Danny?" She had the guts to ask me and took a deep breath and exhaled ,so I won't say anything bad to her.I knew that me answering her calls would gi
Desmond's POVWeekends are the best time of the week for me, I workout in the morning and then rest for the rest of the day.We were sitting in the living room, I was going through the messages on my phone, checking which ones I have to mark important ,so I could remember them tomorrow and which ones that were not important, so I could delete it , because I had many people that sent me messages asking me for money or help.It's a good thing I had a work phone and a personal phone, if not I would have deleted all the messages on my phone by now.My secretary handles some of the messages but I like handling the rest.Joseph, my son , came and stood in front of me and I looked up from my phone and looked at him curiously."Joseph,what do you want?" I asked him and he entangled his hand together in front of him.I knew that pose, he wanted to ask me for something."So Daddy, I thought about where we should go today and I think we should go and have a family dinner, with Miss Lucy and Dann
Lucy's POVMy head was resting on something soft but not as soft as a pillow, I slowly rubbed my cheeks on the soft unknown object.I heard faint giggling and I got more confused because it sounded familiar.I groaned, as I slowly fluttered my eyes open and my eyes widened ,when I saw Desmond's face a few inches from mine and the place I was resting my head on was his hand.I wanted to shout, but I quickly recomposed myself as I slapped my hand over my mouth and Desmond stirred up in his sleep and I prayed that he doesn't wake up ,to which he didn't.He exhaled sharply and continued sleeping and I sighed in relief, as I heard the giggling again and I slowly removed my head from his hand and turned to see the kids standing by my side of the bed giggling."Good morning mommy." Danny greeted me."Good morning Miss Lucy." Joseph greeted me almost at the same time and I placed a finger on my lips and they did the same."Don't wake him up." I said softly and they both nodded."Who doesn't w
