Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 32: Stepmom's call.
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

Lucy's POVI smiled at Desmond's suggestion to sue my step family for stealing from me. I know I have considered it,but right now I don't think it's worth wasting my energy on.They can eat the money they stole from me and it will choke them."I don't think there's any need for that, I have moved on ,I just don't want to see their faces ever again." I said as I took a gulp from my bottle of orange juice."Okay." He said.I suddenly remembered crazy Helen and decided to ask him about her, because I don't know her deal."That's right I wanted to ask you about Helen, who is she?" I asked him.Even though I didn't want to pry into his personal life,I was still curious.The thought of him dating someone, left a tight feeling in my chest.I don't know why I feel at peace, knowing that Desmond is single and I don't think he is looking for anyone to date right now."Oh right Helen, you told me she might have followed you to a cafe, you know I told you she's my ex-girlfriend right?" He asked

Lucy's POV;I was wondering how Andrew got my phone number, because I was sure he didn't have it before.So what changed now that he has been this way?Andrew has been bothering me almost all week with his calls,so I decided to answer his call, for the sake of my sanity and I wanted to get closure from him."Lucy is that you?" He asked me immediately, I answered the call and the sound of his voice just got me angry.That same voice that once said sweet and loving things to me, only irritates me now when I hear it."Andrew,just say what you want to say and hang up, I don't have time for your nonsense questions." I hissed at him and I heard him heave a sigh of relief."Finally have gotten a hold of you, I have been calling you nonstop for days and you didn't answer my calls." He told me.Is this man serious right now?Has he forgotten all he did to me or does he have a screw loss in his head that makes his memories leak away."Why should I answer calls when there is nothing between?

Lucy's povMercy, my stepmom has bad timing.What does she want now?I thought she had given up ,when she saw I wasn't willing to help her.I didn't want answer her call , because I knew that whatsoever she had to say was unreasonable,but she called back three more times so I decided to answer her call, i wondering what could be so important that she was calling me this way."Lucy, so you finally decided to answer the call?" She asked me in a loud voice."Mercy, please just say what you want and hang up." I told her."Can't I call my daughter from time to time, to ask how she is faring?" Mercy asked me and I cringed at the word daughter.Mercy my step mum never regards me as a daughter, but a step daughter ,so I know she was up to something."Mercy, you have only one daughter, you have told me that many times, don't start saying things that aren't true." I reminded her."I have two…." Mercy tried to say."Just tell me what you want." I cut her off, I was already angry because of Andre

Lucy's POVI smiled."What happened to your phone, you don't want to fix it yet?" Desmond asked me.I was being paranoid and didn't want to leave the house."Oh sir ,when did you return?" I asked Desmond who took steps towards me.He stopped in front of me and looked at the phone in my hand."What happened to the screen of your phone?" He inquired, ignoring my greetings.Why won't this man just mind his business?"Well, it fell on the floor." I replied and he nodded in understanding"Oh I see , can you still use that?" He asked."It looks broken." He added."I can manage it." I replied."That won't do, why don't I help you get a new one?" He asked."What ? No thank you for the offer but I refuse to accept any gift from you." I told him and he rolled his eyes."Oh please come on." He said as he grabbed onto my hand."Sir ,wait no." I protested but he didn't listen to my protest ,as he was already pulling me out of the house."Sir ,you don't have to do that, I can repair it myself." I a

Lucy's POVDesmond refused to say anything after his son said he wished to have me as a mum.I honestly didn't know what to reply and I thought that Desmond would get involved, but he just kept quiet and stared at us."Oh Joseph,don't worry, I will always be here when you need me,okay?" I asked Joseph.I think that was the answer that Joseph needed ,because he jumped up in happiness."Yes, I want to draw you as well." Joseph said happily."Then go and get your drawing materials, so you can draw me." I told Danny and Joseph and they ran to get it.I decided to steal a glance at Desmond, because he had been awfully quiet.Our eyes met, he was clearly just staring at me without saying a word, I looked away and he stood up and headed upstairs to his room without saying a word to me.I wondered if I actually did something wrong ,because I didn't actually reply to Joseph's question.Joseph and Danny each drew a family picture and coloured it, they showed me the picture ,a man and a woman an

Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 81: Epilogue.
ONE YEAR LATER Lucy's POV: We waited for a year before we could proceed with our relationship. The kids were so happy when we said we were now together. Even though I know Desmond feels upset by how things ended with Vera, he can't bring her back so we could only just move on. Andrew, who was responsible for her death, is already paying for his crimes behind bars, but I think Desmond was upset that this ended this way. I know he wanted a good relationship with Vera even after their divorce ,but she didn't want to make it happen. Desmond was really nice ,he told me he wants us to take it slow. I wonder if he partly blamed himself for the death of Vera, or if you blame me for it, because it was Andrew, my ex boyfriend, that killed her. I was scared of asking him ,because I think the answer he will give me would upset me more. No matter how much you put the past behind us ,we know very well it will be a part of our life now , since they are also our kids' parents. "What are you
Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 80: She died.
Desmond's POV:I was at work when I received a call that Vera was in the hospital. She was hit by a truck and was taken to the hospital.They told me she was in critical condition and I needed to come back to the hospital quickly.I rushed out of the company building, got into my car and drove off to the address of the hospital.She should be at home ,because I know very well that I didn't give her any money to go anywhere, she must have gone to see her parents.Gosh!Is she even supposed to be driving by now?I got to the hospital and was told where she was, the doctor didn't look happy he said he was sorry and that I should go and talk for the last thing, there was nothing he could do, he told me the impact of the car was too strong and they tried their best and now left for her is to survive.From the way the Doctor was talking, he was telling me it was best that I have a last talk with her.What is going on?Vera was just so lively recentlyHow can she be in this state?I called h
Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 79: Crazy Plans.
Desmond's POV:Vera refused to accept the divorce.And she also refused to leave quietly in the house.What she does everyday is to wait for me to come back from work and she starts bothering me with nonsense questions.One day, I came back from work and she asked that we talk.I agreed to talk to her, because I thought she wanted to say something about accepting the divorce.But she just said bullshit."I want to work in your company." She announced and I looked at her as if she was crazy."What?" I asked her."I thought about it and we clearly don't know each other enough, so I decided to consider the divorce if you let me work in your company in a high position." She told me and I just stared at her as if she had grown an extra head.What could she possibly be scheming to make her want to come to my company?I know well enough that I did not want to see this woman anywhere in my company, so I can't accept it.But on second thought ,I could fire her if she did something bad."If I g
Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 78: Let's break them up.
Lucy's POV:Desmond has already told me that he has asked her for divorce but she refused.I knew that Vera would try to fight this.Desmond isn't the type to lie, so I know he wants to divorce her even though it will take some time now, because she has refused to get a divorce.The only thing that Vera could do was send me text messages asking me to stay away from her man. These days when Desmond leaves for work I leave with him and go and help Bella in her cafe.When the kids return back from kindergarten the bodyguards are with us so they stop Vera from doing anything stupid, which she has tried a couple times.She hasn't been alone with me since this started ,so I have no problem with it.Desmond also gives me breaks on weekends, I go out with the kids and go and rest in one of his apartments.Desmond doesn't come with us , because he has told me that she has accused him of cheating and wanted to cook up some lies to prove she was a victim ,so he needed to be careful until the di
Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 77: She refused.
Desmond's POV:After consoling Lucy and reassuring her that it will be fine ,she left my office and headed back home.No matter what happens now, I have to think about my happiness and my happiness lies where she is.Joseph,my son,has already told me that he sees Lucy as a mother figure.Joseph took a liking towards Lucy because Danny, his friend, told him how much his mum loves him.I guess it was from then that Joseph told me to make Lucy his nanny. I wanted to see her for myself so I went to the kindergarten. I was glad that I went there and hired her as his nanny.I had to get prepared for meeting up with Vera ,because I want this done as quickly as possible.I can recall my parents telling me if things get too hard for me I can always fall back to them for support, even though I might not need your support now in the future if I have a problem, I might contact them.I met up with my lawyer to discuss the divorce. The divorce was not going to be favorable for me, because the law

Desmond's POV:I sat on my bed, I sighed deeply.What should I do now?I couldn't sleep a wink last night because Lucy told me she wanted to quit.I was having a hard time already because of Vera,why does she need to add to this problem?I can't really blame her because of her actions. It was my indecisiveness that was causing all these. I know that I can't have both of them and I had to pick one, but the problem is I know it isn't Vera that I want to pick.Considering how crazy she is behaving, if I was to ask her to leave, she might try to ruin my reputation.But if Vera stays here and as she is still legally my wife, I know that Lucy would definitely leave.She told me how angry she was when her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with a woman.I know well enough that she doesn't want to be called the other woman , a mistress, I can't even subject her to such a thing.I wasn't that evil, I just can't help but blame myself for bringing Vera into my happy home.I wanted to talk to Lucy when
Ceo Daddy In A Tux Chapter 75: Preparing to leave.
Desmond's POV:Vera called me up to her room and she was happy when I came.She was wearing a see through nightgown that left nothing else to imagine.I don't know why I felt disgusted by her actions, and what she was wearing just made me uncomfortable.She tried to touch me and I moved away from her."Why did you call me here , please say what you wanted to say so I could leave." I told her.The longer I spent in her room the more annoyed I got."Well." She purred and I cringed."Vera, I think you should wear something that covers up before we can talk." I told her because I didn't want to see her dressed this way."Why?" She was surprised by my request."Because it makes me uncomfortable seeing you in that dress." I told her , while avoiding all eye contact with her ,but I could tell my words angered her.She shouldn't blame me for pushing her away because the last thing I wanted to do was make the mistake of touching her. I won't even dare it, when she was acting this crazy and tre

Lucy's POV:By the sound of Flora's voice I could tell she was doing well.Even though they treated me badly I just wish the best for her."I saw your mother and she told me you got married, congratulations." I told her."Thanks." She mumbled."Even though I saw her, I also had low contact with Mercy, your mom, but I think you should talk it out with her if you two have a disagreement. You know how she is, she doesn't have anyone to rely on but you." I reminded her."Why do you even care what happens to her? I thought you hated her?" She asked.I told her I didn't hate her mother, neither did I hate her, I just disliked how they treated me.Flora told me she just wanted to give her mum time, since she couldn't accept her marriage.I informed her that her mother was not looking too good when I saw her and getting back in contact with her now would be the best thing to do, or there might be consequences."Is my mom sick?" Flora, my step sister, asked worried about her mom's safety."I d

Lucy's POV:Mercy, my step mom, cleared her throat.She was fidgeting with her fingers, why was she wasting my time?"Oh, how is Danny ,how have you been?"She asked."Fine to both questions." I replied and I saw her fidgeting with her fingers."You know I really regret telling you to leave the house with Danny, I should have thought about it carefully before asking you to leave." She started and I listened attentively."Okay." I mumbled."I should have told my children to leave you alone and defend you so you can stay, I didn't mean to encourage their bad behavior towards you." She said sadly."Don't push all the blame on your children,I hope you haven't forgotten you also treated me badly?" I asked her and her shoulders dropped in defeat."I haven't forgotten." She mumbled.Good thing she hasn't forgotten how badly she treated me, because she was just trying to put all the blame on her children when she was the one enabling them."If I tell you to come back home now with me,would you
