Lucy's POV:The next day when Desmond and the kids wanted to leave the house, I decided to go along with them and told him I wanted to go and visit a friend.Last thing I wanted to do was stay-at-home with crazy Vera on the loose.I left the mansion with Desmond and the kids and I went to Bella's cafe to see her.She was excited to see me.She saw that I was upset and asked me what was wrong as we sat down at a table."I practically had to run away from home today." I told her she looked at me confused by my words."What happened, you look Upset?" She asked."It's been a crazy week,but I know I haven't told you that Desmond's wife is back." I said."She's back?" Bella asked in surprise."Yes." I mumbled.It's still hard for me to believe that my life has been turned upside down once again in just the space of a week.I explained to Bella how Vera has returned back to the mansion and how she lost her memory,so she has been acting like a crazy witch since she came into Desmond's home."
Desmond's POV:I feel as if I stay around Vera for another second, I might just go insane.I went to the hospital to see Vera, to see the doctor.I donated a lot of money to them for their well-being and to help them, but they couldn't even tell me that the woman I was taking back to my house is crazy.I was angry and frustrated at the whole situation.Vera, my wife, wasn't listening to what I said and I think that if I let her stay in my mansion for long, she would turn my house upside down and chase Lucy out.I had another problem that I don't know how to solve. Lucy was acting distant and she didn't want to engage in a conversation anymore. It was another thing that bothered me.I just wonder if she was thinking about leaving, because Vera was harassing her at home when I wasn't around.But whenever I am around Vera acts like a saint and I wonder if she knows that I heard all she has been doing and I wasn't at home.Gosh that woman is a snake.I should have asked Lucy how she felt
Lucy's POV:I went into the kitchen to take a bottle of water and when I turned around, I was shocked to see Vera standing behind me.How did she get into the kitchen without making a sound, don't tell me she knowingly stood there just to scare me?I cleared my throat and recomposed myself and asked her what she wanted."What is your relationship with Desmond?" She asked me as she took a step closer to me."Desmond is my boss." I replied immediately."I don't believe you, you seem like this type of woman that snatch husbands away from other women." She told me.I don't know why she had the impression of me.I was doing the best I can to stay away from Desmond,out of respect for her."I think you have the wrong idea of me. I just love kids, that is why I am taking care of Joseph." I replied and she hissed at me."Don't say my son's name so casually just because you are his nanny." She huffed and I sighed."Yes ma'am." I replied."I thought you were hiding away from me, you didn't expec
Lucy's POV:Oh goodness, what other way to make her hate me more?Vera marched towards us."I said that you are a shameless woman. You want to snatch my husband away from me! It won't work, if you dare come near my husband you will regret the day that we met! You filthy slut!" She yelled at me getting into my face and Desmond came in between us.I took my phone from him and let him handle his wife as I left them there.My leg hurts.When Andrew called again I told him I was willing to meet up with him.He was happy and I told him we should meet up tomorrow.I don't want to stay in this house with Vera after what happened, when Desmond was going to work tomorrow.I was trying to respect her, by hiding my feelings for her husband but she wasn't content with it.If I knew he was a married man I wouldn't have developed feelings for him, he was single till just a month ago.This is exhausting.The moment Desmond and the kids left I went out to meet Andrew.I know that's why I was looking f
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
