Nanny For The Billionaire CHAPTER 11
Lucas sat back on his study desk, the huge mahogany desk secluding his huge frame. Scarlett's voice rang in his mind. The last thing she said to him suddenly haunted him like a plague.He never thought about it in the past. He had loved his ex-wife so much that after her death, it was as though his whole life crumbled with her.He had become emotionally unavailable to everyone around him. He had secluded himself for months after her death and he had to see a therapist before he could move on. Her death still hurt him but he dared to get back to work.To take his mind off the loss, he immersed himself in work. His children were the only ones he still bore some form of emotional attachment to, but he had been so busy with work that he barely saw them.He never knew that Callan had qualified for the kids' baseball team in school and that Claire had learned how to write the alphabet without any help. He only found out these things from their teacher.He constantly ached with a feeling of

Scarlett shivered as she heard his voice. She resolved to apologize to him but he was not taking a chance to look at her or hear whatever she had to say. He rushed over to his daughter as she lay unconscious. Doctor Ezra came in just then."I heard you were around and I decided to come over," he began smiling sheepishly, as though he sought some kind of favor from Lucas."How is my daughter now?" Lucas asked him in a low voice, ignoring his sycophancy. "She is stable now but we would keep her here for a few days, just for further observations," the doctor replied.They soon stepped out for a few words, and Scarlett watched them through the blinds, as though they were deciding her fate. She saw him glance at her once but she looked away.Lucas was livid when he stepped back into the room and he did not utter a single word. He took a seat and Callan curled up to him. He took him in his hands and Scarlett just looked on as he seethed. She was at a loss as to what to do or say next. She

Claire's eyes fluttered open but the bright ward lights forced her to shut them close again. She stirred and it alerted Lucas. He rushed to her immediately and stood over her."Are you okay, baby?" He asked her as he patted her hair softly. She nodded as she gently opened her eyes again, little by little until she fully adjusted to the bright lights. "I'm fine, Daddy. I missed you," she said quietly and looked around. Lucas' eyes grew teary and he looked away immediately and forced them back. He would not be so vulnerable before his children, not after three years of trying to hold back his pain before them.Claire sat up on the bed and a nurse examined her. She looked around the ward. It was beautifully decorated. It had balloons that said 'Get well soon' on them.She looked at the toys that rested on the bed table along with the cards that were brought to her. Her schoolmates and her teacher had visited a day before and they had brought her 'get well soon' cards. Her eyes lit up a

Lucas had had enough of their demand to bring Scarlett back. He was also getting overwhelmed with taking care of them all by himself. He had told Daphne about it, and she only agreed with the kids that Scarlett should be brought back to the house.If they all agreed that Scarlett was who they wanted, then he had to agree that she was good at her job after all. But his pride would not let him. It would seem degrading for him to go back and ask her to resume. He had even sent her a severance package that signified that he would not need her services anymore.He barely had any idea of how to take care of his children, and when he got fed up, he contacted the agency that provided nannies. They assured him that one would be sent to him the next day.When she arrived, she introduced herself as Martha. Lucas had looked over at her. She had a pale expression and he was unsure about how she would handle his kids, but he had put security cameras installed in the whole house, and he would know i

"What do you mean my children are missing?" Lucas barked over the phone. He could not believe his ears."I came here with the driver to take them home as you instructed, but they are nowhere to be found," the nanny explained.Lucas fisted his hand and banged hard on his mahogany desk, letting out a grunt as he did so."I'm on my way," he finally said as he put down the phone and rushed out of the office.The ride to the school seemed longer than usual. All the while, he was restless, wondering where his children would have gone. He had not made so many enemies in his business that would warrant him to have his children kidnapped. Thinking about it now, a lot of people did not know that he had children. Others thought of him as a divorcee. But Lucas was not a man to care about what people thought about him. He was only focused on climbing the financial ladder. A thought crossed his mind and it relaxed him. A week ago, after Claire had been discharged from the hospital and he was still

The kids turned around and to their amazement, Scarlett was standing in front of them. They quickly rushed to her and wrapped her in a warm embrace.Scarlett was elated to be reunited with them and her joy knew no bounds as she cradled them in her hands, attracting stares from passersby, but she cared less."We missed you so much," Callan said, wrapping his hands around her neck."Aww, I missed you too, my babies," Scarlett said, embracing them again."So are you here with Daddy or your new nanny?" She asked them. They fell silent and looked at each other, and back at her. Scarlett knew immediately that something was amiss."Who are you here with?" She asked them again. This time, she sounded worried."We came looking for you," Claire replied as Callan was still tongue-tied."What?!" Scarlett exclaimed as thoughts of what Lucas would do to her if he found out rummaged through her mind."We are so hungry Scarlett," Callan finally spoke out, and it softened her heart. They had just come

"Thank you so much, Scarlett," Lucas finally managed to say after some long minutes of hesitation. Scarlett could not believe her ears. The high and mighty Lucas was appreciating her. It felt surreal.She stepped into the light, and Lucas caught a full glimpse of her. He wondered if it was the same Scarlett he knew from months back. She had cleaned up well. He could not deny that she looked very elegant. The green dress that she had on hung perfectly to her luscious frame. He swallowed. He had never seen her in this way before. Even her short hair was a bonus to the change. "You are welcome, Lucas," she said in a confident tone. It was as though she was no longer intimidated by him, and she knew it hurt his ego.He took a last glance at her before he turned around to go in with his kids."Thank you, and you can go now," he said heading inside."It's late, Dad. Let Scarlett come in and spend the night," Callan said, looking from Scarlett who motioned him to keep shut, to his father wh

Scarlett had been hesitant about a contract marriage and even more hesitant when Lucas drew up the contract that she would sign in court.She had read through the terms. He was very disciplined and he was insistent on keeping things professional between them. The reason they were getting married was judiciously laid out in the contract. He wanted her to be a mother to his children but not a wife to him.She had refused at first. That was not how she had planned her life to go. She would not spend her entire life with someone that was not a husband to her, but the kids were persuasive, and she informed Lucas that she was going to accept his terms.On the day they were to leave for the court, Scarlett was the first to enter the sleek black vehicle that he had provided for them. She had waited for over two minutes before he got in. His cologne immediately filled the entire car and she wondered why he had that unique aura and dominance. Lucas Maxwell entered a room and he was the tallest
