The Billionaire’s One-night Stand Thirty-four : The Long-lasting Pain
Author's POVThe scene that Lucian entered the room to find left him heartbroken and worried. The back of Anne’s head was buried between her knees as she knelt on the floor, snuggled against the wall. She was crying out inconsolably and trembling.“Anne?” He called but there was no response.He hastily walked over to her side, softly cradled her, and carefully placed her on the bed.

Lucian asked with an air of irritation.“I thought I gave you orders to feed the kids and put them to bed.”The nanny seemed confused as she hastily straightened herself after finally noticing the kids standing next to Anne.“Mr. Lucian, I apologize. They wouldn’t listen to me. They were adamant about meeting their mother and when I told them that they could see her tomorrow and not tonight, they ran out of the room and started running around the mansion and I chased them up until we got here,” she said.Anne exhaled in relief as she grinned at her kids. “Don’t worry, Rosaline. Babe, it’s fine. I’ve missed the kids anyways,” She replied.Despite their lack of awareness of the seriousness of the situati

Author’s POV“What’s up babe? Is there any problem?” Lucian asked, dropping his cutlery as he turned to Anne to pay more attention to her as she spoke.“Not everything is fine; it’s just I have something I have been meaning to tell you about the kids. I have been thinking about it for a while,” Anne replied.“I’m all ears babe, tell me,” Lucian said.“Since the kids turned five, we’ve been homeschooling them. Now they’re six, I think we should take them to a real school,” Anne said.“Why? I thought you wanted them to be homeschooled because you loved seeing them around. Why the sudden change?” Lucian asked.“Well, like I said I’ve been thinking about it. Our daughters have no friends besides themselves and once they get into a fight, they both end up getting emotional.
