I was humming to the music that was playing on my phone as I was preparing a list of things I needed to get from the grocery store.I opened the fridge and looked through the items in it, then I heard my phone ringing and I turned to the kitchen counter.I took the phone and smiled when I saw the caller as I answered the call."Tory good afternoon, how are you?" I asked and she told me she was fine.Tory was acting strange and told me she needed to speak to me but not on the phone,she wanted to meet up with me.Even though I told her she could just tell me over the phone she insisted we meet up at some restaurant.I saw nothing wrong with deciding to go since I wanted to go out for groceries.I took my car keys and left for the destination. She told me she wanted us to meet.Tory was always with Andrew not leaving his side for once even before he became my boyfriend.She is a childhood friend of his and one of his business partners, so I knew whatever she wanted to say must be somethi

When I got back to my senses I drove back home.Andrew wasn't home when I returned and I was restless. Even in my restlessness I cooked his favorite meal. Silly of me,my boyfriend might have cheated on me and I still had the energy to cook.Andrew never liked maids so none was hired in his house and I did all the work in the house.I didn't mind because I had nothing else to do,I was just his live-in girlfriend after all.I waited for Andrew to come home and welcomed him with a loving smile ignoring all that had happened earlier today because I didn't want to cause an argument and make him leave. When I wanted to take his briefcase from him he stopped me but my smile never wavered."Welcome home I made dinner." I told him as he proceeded to go up the stairs to our room not sparing a glance at me."Should I bring it upstairs?" I asked and got no reply so I followed him closely behind.He dropped his briefcase on the table when we got into the room and proceeded to uncuff his cufflink

FIVE YEARS LATERLucy's pov;I was wiping the tables in the cafe ,when I saw a man wearing a suit walk in and I smiled.I just suddenly remember how Daniel, my son , is so fixated on men in suits,not suits but a tux ,I think he likes the bow tie in particular.It makes me smile when he says he wants to wear a tuxedo but it also makes my heart ache that I can't buy him a tuxedo just yet.I am saving up to buy him one on his next birthday but I don't know if he would still love to wear a tuxedo by then because kids change their mind on things so easily.One minute he is fighting to get it with all his strength, but the next minute he just tosses it away to the side as if it meant nothing."Good morning sir, please sit ,what can I get you?" I asked the man who smiled and sat."The usual." He said and I went to prepare his coffee.I work a lot of part time jobs because it is flexible and I can control how long I want to work to an extent,the only thing that matters is I have time to go an

Lucy's POVOne look at Jason made me think.Oh shit! there was no way I was going to get this job.Jason is one of my ex-boyfriend Andrew's friends. When I was dating Andrew, Jason would flirt with me constantly and I once slapped him for groping me because I found that disrespectful when I was dating his friend and when I told Andrew about it , Andrew, my ex boyfriend, brushed off what I said.Thinking about it now there were signs that Andrew never really cared about me but I ignored it. I think he was just trying to use me to get over Tory his ex girlfriend or get her jealous to come back to him but either way I guess it worked they must be happy together because I haven't heard from him since,it won't matter if he tried to get in touch with me because I changed my phone number."Miss Lucy." Another interviewer called and I snapped out of my thoughts and recomposed myself and avoided eye contact with Jason.It has been years I don't think Jason would remember me that well.I deci

Lucy's POV;I gritted my teeth as I angrily glared at Jason who seemed to have no shame and just spilled nonsense from his mouth. To think that Jason wants to stoop as low as insulting me in front of Mr. Desmond was just unbelievable.Because of what Jason just said, I dared not make eye contact with Desmond, what must he think of me?Jason walked towards us, while glaring daggers at me as I heard murmurs from people around us, Jason came to a stop in front of me, his masculine figure towering over me.Was he trying to scare me by giving me a death glare or intimidate me with his body build because he was a man?I stood my ground staring eye to eye with him."Shouldn't you be leaving already Lucy?" Jason asked, seeing that he hadn't succeeded in intimidating me and I scoffed."You know you are just plain stupid, just because I rejected your advances you dare insult me, you are a shameless man for even daring to hit on your friend's girlfriend!" I yelled at him and I saw his eyes wide

Lucy's pov:Bella's face suddenly turned sour."Oh my goodness ,what have I done?" She asked with a pout."I am so sorry Lucy I don't know it was him that was looking for a secretary, my friend just told me about a job opening and I was happy because I just wanted to find a better job for you ,I am so sorry I didn't do proper research." Bella apologized in a low voice as her shoulders were dropped in defeat.I don't even know why she was apologizing when she did nothing wrong, I know she just wants the best for me and I was glad to have a friend like her that just looks out for me."You don't need to apologize, Bella . I know you just had good things in mind for me when you told me about the job opening." I reassured her I wasn't angry at her in any way.Andrew,my ex boyfriend was still a sour subject for me even till now.I don't know when I will truly forget him , because seeing my son Daniel each day remind me that his Father is not with us because he abandoned us to be with anothe

Lucy's Pov:I heard my alarm clock start ringing and I jolted upright and slammed my hand on it and it stopped and I slowly turned to look at Daniel who was lying beside me and then I sighed in relief when I saw he was still sleeping.I slowly got up from the bed. I wake up early in the morning to go for a run at times. Sometimes it helps me clear my head from the intrusive thoughts that won't let me be and today I was certain I needed to run more than anything. The last thing I want is to think about him, I don't know why I woke up today thinking about my ex boyfriend. I would not give him that right to control how I feel anymore.I got up and walked into the bathroom and I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror.I had eye bags under my eyes, I didn't sleep well yesterday but I know I was stronger than this. I know this was not something that would easily break me.I have been doing well all these while, but I don't know why what my Stepmom's friends said yesterday got me up

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 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

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

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
