Lucy's POVI could see that Desmond was angry at the thought that If the kids were the first to taste the food, it would have ended badly."Sir, I don't think firing the person is the right thing to do." I chipped in and Desmond turned to me."Should I get the person arrested then for trampling with my food?" He asked and I waved my hand frantically.Woah he just blew this out of proportion."No sir, I was trying to say that firing the person was too harsh of a punishment." I corrected my words and he made a face that likely said,you should be backing me up in this."Lucy ,I see that you don't want to say anything reasonable, so keep quiet." Desmond told me, as he turned his attention to the maids.He is actually really angry."Wouldn't anybody say anything?" He asked them."Look at Lucy acting as if she is righteous, who are you trying to save and why are you acting like a good person all of a sudden , when you are the one that told him to look for the culprit?" The maid that called
Andrew's POV(Lucy's ex boyfriend):I was deep in thoughts, my mind kept wandering to different places.Five years is too long to be looking for someone.One might say it was long, but I found it too short because I wanted to reconnect with Lucy.I wanted to hold her when I fall asleep, I want my touch to be the only touch her body knows.I still wanted Lucy to be my woman and now that I found out I don't know how to let her go, I can't let her go because she is mine and I have a son with her, it completes our family.No matter how much she pushes me away, I will come back ten times harder because she is mine and mine alone, no one can take her away from me.I was so glad when after much investigation I found her step mom, that woman is money hungry, after just tossing money to her side, she easily told me all I needed to know about Lucy all these years.Lucy didn't date anyone until recently when she went on a bad date. I knew from the beginning that I was the only one for her.I am th
Desmond POVI was looking over some documents ,when I paused for a while to check some pictures on my phone,it wasn't just any pictures,it was the drawing that Joseph my son and Danny Lucy's son drew. I took a picture of it so I could look at it from time to time.This drawing reminds me of a complete family that I wanted for my son, I also for this complete family.Even though I was taking care of my son , I know I am doing a good job but with Lucy staying with us, I know she can do a better job at taking care of my son.Lucy would make a good partner,she just gave me peace of mind,one I thought I lost a long time ago.My eyes widened as I just understood where my thoughts were going off to.I shouldn't be thinking like this, but I can't help it.I sighed as I shook my head to get rid of the intrusive thoughts, I pinched the bridge of my nose as I sighed again.Lucy, I have been thinking about her a lot lately and honestly I didn't know why I felt the overwhelming urge to be close t
Lucy's POV My life has been hectic ever since Andrew suddenly showed up, he just had to wait for me to be doing better to come so he can ruin it. Thank goodness I met Desmond. If not I would have thought that all men were just rude and controlling. Till today I haven't forgotten that bad date I had with Travis,that made him think we were now dating, that guy is insane. I know I shouldn't be thinking like this, but I can't help but always compare Andrew and Desmond, there's no way I will be going back to Andrew even though I was a bit reluctant to cut all contact with him. Andrew hurt me deeply, but I still felt sorry for him and I was angry at the way things turned out. I really hoped things would have gone a different way, I hoped that we could have continued to date in peace but that couldn't happen because of Tory, his best friend and affair partner. Desmond came back from work today and he was acting a bit weird and distant, I instantly knew that something was wrong. I de
Lucy's POVDesmond has been so kind to me ,that I don't even know how to repay him. I could only wish him well and take care of his son as best as I could.I found myself sitting in the living room at night, I think it was about nine pm and the kids were already in bed , but Mr Desmond was not home yet.I wonder if something happened to him?I have never seen him go out on weekends, because he always rests at home, unless his son says let's go out and eat.I was surprised when he invited me to go out with him as normal friends but I refused. I don't want to be put in the position where someone would ask about my relationship with Desmond and I won't know what to say.We have a good relationship, but I don't know what to call it.Are we friends or is he just my Boss or is there something else going on between us?It was confusing.Desmond went to drink with friends, friends I thought he didn't have, that's why I was more worried about going out with him, since I have never met any of h
Lucy's povIt's been two days ever since the kiss with Desmond.For those two days I haven't seen Desmond even once. It felt as if he leaves for work very early in the morning and comes back very late at night so that he won't see each other.It was just a hunch I had as to why I haven't been seeing him, but he might also be busy that's why I haven't been able to see him, so I don't know what to think.I just went about my normal day as if nothing had happened.Nowadays when Andrew sends a text message to me, he asks about his son Danny.It's as if you just shifted his attention for me to Danny because he knew that Danny is where my heart is.I don't know how many times I have told Andrew to leave you alone and stop mentioning my son's name, but he doesn't seem to listen.He has money to spend on unnecessary things, that's why if I block one number, he gets another phone number to call me or send me a text message.It felt as if all I had said to him and all the insults fell on deaf
Lucy's POVI turned to look at Desmond."Why do you think that it's for the best to avoid me?" I asked him curiously as I watched him."Lucy, I can't give you what you want." He told me."What do you actually think that I want from you?" I asked him and he sighed."I don't know what you want from me, but what I do know is that the kiss was a grave mistake, one that shouldn't happen again." He told me in a low voice."Desmond I know that you are my Boss but I honestly felt an attraction..." I tried to say but was interrupted by him."You are mistaken ,I feel nothing for you." He cut off my words and I scoffed.Desmond doesn't want me saying anything about him having feelings for me, when it was clear that we were both attracted to each other.I can't go back to Andrew, because even though we had good memories,he was the one that hurt me most."Do you actually expect me to believe such a lie?" I asked him in disbelief.Desmond smacked his lips as pinched the bridge of his nose, he was h
Lucy's povI was upset by the conversation I had with Desmond, he didn't want to open up to me.I had to just take a step back and wait for him to approach me instead.I would not deny the feelings I have for Desmond,but he was right.I haven't cut off Andrew completely from my heart, I don't know why I was reluctant to sever all ties with him,maybe it was because of Danny, our son.I was still contemplating this and I understood that Andrew was feeling pressured because he wanted to meet his son, maybe in the near future I will consider it,but right now he was acting crazy.I thought that maybe Andrew had changed and his apologies were genuine, but I got served a notice from the court, Andrew was fighting for custody of Danny.Is he crazy?After all the stunts he pulled ,I didn't even report him to the police but he wants custody of my son. I was even pitying him and wondering how I would be able to set up a meeting with him and Danny in the future, now he goes and does this.I calle
