Nanny For The Billionaire CHAPTER 20
You look so beautiful, Scarlett," Lucas mentioned for the third time in a row and Scarlett's cheeks reddened again. There was a charm that he possessed that was peculiar to him, one that she knew that she would not get from anyone else."I still can't believe that you shut down the whole of Brickward for this date," she said, leaning in. "Special people deserve special things, and besides, I can afford anything that I want," he said with a tinge of pride. Scarlett rolled her eyes and he chuckled at her expression."You do not know anything about me, Lucas, so you cannot say that I am special," she said. "You are not letting me in. You are holding back so much that it hurts," Lucas replied to her."So what would you have me do?" She asked him. He leaned into her."Tell me what I need to know about you, Scarlett," he said, her name slipping out of his mouth beautifully. She liked how he lingered 'r' in her name, and she suspected that he had Mexican heritage."What do you want to kno

A few days had passed and Scarlett had barely seen Lucas. After their date, he had gone on a business trip and he had not told her how long he would be gone for. Her mind drifted to the events of the date night, the day Lucas finally touched her. They had driven home and the kids were already asleep. They were barely able to keep their hands off each other and they had forgotten about the divided bed rule that they had created for themselves. They had sex almost the whole night, and Lucas had been a gentleman. It was as though he was insistent on exploring her body and getting to discover what she hid underneath. She was beautiful and he knew it. She was the woman he wanted, one he longed for.It had been three days and she dialed his number again for the umpteenth time. He had woken up very early that morning to her surprise and noiselessly packed a bag for the trip. He had walked up to her side of the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead."Te quiero mucho Scarlett," he had said m

The glam team arrived towards evening and Scarlett began to get prepared in Lucas'room. He had not exited the study since they had a discussion. He did not come down for lunch either, and when she had done to serve him lunch in the study, he said she was the only thing he wanted to have for lunch."I want to go to a ball too," Claire whined. "I want to be dressed up like a princess," she added. "When you are much older, we can go to balls together," Callan said to her. They had been lying before Scarlett and watching her get dressed. Daphne and Scarlett laughed. "I'm just interested in seeing you in that dress," Daphne said. "No doubts that Lucas intentionally chose it from the long slit," she added. They both have each other a knowing look and laughed hard.When they were done, Scarlett looked breathtaking. She was still very anxious, as she was not used to being the cynosure of all eyes. She would be in the hands of one of the richest businessmen in the state in a room filled with

Lucas could not help but notice that Scarlett had been distant since the ball, and it had bothered him. She flared up at the slightest provocation and had even refused him touching her.He knew that things had gotten worse when she stopped sleeping in his bedroom and took to Daphne's own instead. When he asked her, she said she did not like the dark sheets, and the chandelier lit up the room unusually and was inconvenient for sleeping."I will send for the interior designer tomorrow to change everything to your taste," he had told her. She asked him not to bother but it bothered him more. He spent most nights in his study, immersed in work and thinking about her.As they sat at the breakfast table on a rainy morning with the children, he kept stealing glances at her. She barely touched her food. He was soon done with his breakfast before he moved over to where she was."I need to talk to you now," he said to her. The silent treatment was taking a toll on him and he missed her dearly, e

Tiana was puzzled as she looked at the invitation before her. The only Lucas Maxwell that she knew of was the one that had recently been tagged as the richest man in the state.Before her was an invitation that stated he was inviting them to dinner. "Dad," she called out as she headed into the house. "Yes T," he replied to her from the kitchen where he poured himself a cup of coffee. "I just got this invitation from someone that knocked at the door, and it says that Lucas Maxwell is inviting us for a private dinner," she said.Mr. Barnes almost spilled his coffee as he turned around. "Lucas Maxwell?!" Mrs. Barnes asked gleefully as she suddenly appeared from the room. "Are you working with him?" She asked her husband."My company once submitted a proposal to his company, but we never got any feedback," he said, still puzzled. "What if this is a chance to say that he was accepting the proposal?" Tiana asked."That does not matter to me. If Lucas Maxwell calls, all I have to do is to l

Lucas' hand patted Scarlett's shoulder almost immediately. "I thought you said he was not coming," Scarlett whispered to Daphne who sat beside her."I swear, he said he had a business meeting and would not make it," Daphne said apologetically. "Hello everyone," Cole continued as he walked majestically towards the dinner table. "Hello Scarlett," he said, smiling down at her. She looked away immediately. "Please take a seat Cole so we can commence dinner," Lucas said. He noticed that Scarlett was uneasy and he did not like it.Cole's eyes rested on Scarlett with a grin on his face as he pulled out a seat and sat opposite him. "Cole darling, it's been a long time since we saw," Tiana began flirtatiously as he said beside her. She placed her hand on his but he dragged it away immediately. Scarlett saw Tiana's face go pale. She laughed quietly.The stewards started dinner immediately. The appetizer was soup, and Scarlett inhaled deeply as it came before her."So Scarlett, what have you

Lucas stood on the balcony. He leaned on the banister and stared into the night. Scarlett placed her hand softly on his back and he turned around immediately. His eyes were teary to her surprise."Are you okay, Lucas?" She asked him concernedly. He looked squarely at her. "I'm so sorry, Scarlett," he began. "If I knew better, I would not have been so cruel to you in the first place," he said to her."You don't have to be sorry. You were coming from a bad place yourself," she said to him, placing her hands on his chest. He circled his arms around her waist instinctively, and she felt him harden against her. She chuckled."I should have done better," he said to her. "Daphne told me that there was a soft person buried in that hard shell of yours, so let's say that I was patient enough for it to emerge," she said and planted a soft kiss on his lips. He captured her lips in his and took charge of the kiss."Where are the kids?" He asked, ending the kiss abruptly. "Daphne said she would ta

Scarlett was quiet for the first few minutes as she tried to comprehend what he had just said."What do you mean by your ex-wife?" Scarlett began rhetorically. "You said she was dead for crying out loud."Lucas did not still turn to look back at her. He did not want the brewing argument to take full fledge. He wanted to ask her to marry him tonight, but he knew that Clara's call had already soured all his plans. He had not been completely honest with her, and he knew that even though he still went ahead with his plans, she would be reluctant."She is dead to me," he muttered."Can you make me understand what you are talking about?" Scarlett asked him, as she rolled her eyes in exhaustion."She left me and the kids to pursue a career in modeling," Lucas finally answered."The kids were very sick at that time, and I was trying to make a living," he continued, as he finally turned around to face her."We talked about it, and I told her that if she walked out on me and the sick children,

Scarlett decided that it would be a good option for the entire crew to return to Santorini. She had cut short their trip the last time, and when she suggested it this time, Alex was in full support. They sent out invitations and made arrangements. Scarlett added George and Daniella to the list and after the entire planning, it looked so promising.Daphne and Nick arrived the night before the trip."Left for me, I would have suggested that you both went on your honeymoon alone but since you want us in it as well, I can't decline," Daphne said as she settled in Scarlett's room.They had agreed that Daphne would spend the night with Scarlett while Nick and his brother would share a room as well. "Let's just say I wanted to do it as compensation for cutting short the trip the other time, and we all deserve a break from the cruel life we have gotten over," Scarlett said. "That reminds me," Daphne said as she took out her makeup from the dresser with some wipes. "What did Lucas say to yo

"If it's not the bride," Daphne began excitedly as she opened up the door and barged into the room where Scarlett was ready to get into her wedding dress."Daphne!" Scarlett called out as she went ahead to hug her best friend. "I thought you were not going to come anymore," she added. "Of course, you know that I will not miss your big day for anything," Daphne said. She had been a bit incapacitated the whole time of the preparations, because of the pregnancy and Nick had insisted that she stayed back and allowed the doctor to attend to her. Daniella had managed to squeeze out time out of her busy schedule and away from George who seemed obsessed with her every day. She saw the way they had their pictures all over social media, and they were equally successful chefs."Is Lucas coming?" Scarlett asked."I tried to talk to him, but he said he does not want to be here," Daphne replied."But he has signed the divorce papers already, right?" Scarlett asked. "I don't like the way he is ma

Scarlett stopped by Alex's house on her way back from a contract job. The hospital incident had taken a toll on everyone, especially Alex. He had gone into hiding, away from his house and away from his office.When his parents finally decided to give him space, they went back to Singapore along with Nick and Daphne. They all had no idea that the incident would take a toll on him that much, and Scarlett seemed to think that he was overreacting, but she could not help but think that it was all her fault.She had finally gone to Africa for the contract, but every day, she kept thinking about Alex. Raymond had urged her to enjoy herself and do her job well, but she could not help it. She called him and sent him messages every day, but he would not answer or reply. She had made a call to his housekeeper who told her the exact time he usually came back to the house. She had told him that Alex now had empty beer and whiskey bottles in his study. Scarlett knew that he was not a drunk. He ba

"What do you mean you would not carry out the procedure anymore?" Alex raged as he followed the doctor out of the surgical ward, alerting his family members.They rushed out immediately to see what was going on."Doctor Ezra, you have to give me a good explanation for all of these," he continued. The doctor stopped and turned around to face him."I think Scarlett and your mother would have a better explanation for this," he said. "I think that my work here is done," he added and walked away.Alex turned to his mother, not knowing what to expect."What is he talking about?" He asked her. His mother fidgeted a little before she finally looked up at him. "Scarlett would be in a better position to explain things to you," she said. "Can you all just stop pointing fingers and tell me what is going on?" He asked. His mother was silent. His father and Nick were as lost as he was as they were still trying to fathom what was going on, but grateful in their hearts that Alex was still alive.

Alex stepped out of the ward and his father stood up immediately after he saw him. They stood and looked at each other for a while. There was no disappointed scowl on his face to suggest that he was angry. Instead, a beautiful smile was plastered to his face. He stretched out his hands just like he would do every day after work when they were little boys. Alex rushed at his father and engaged him in a big embrace. His father patted his back gently and Alex relaxed slowly. They soon sat down at a corner and his mother came to join them."Would you want anything to eat?" She asked her husband who looked up at her with a smile."Alex teaches us every day how to love," he said to her. "Our boy is so brave," he added as he smiled at her. "I don't want to be reminded further that my son is about to have his heart out and given to someone else," she said. "Where is Nick and Daphne?" Alex asked. He had not seen them since he came out. Just Lucas sat there with his face buried in his hand

"Time for what exactly?" Lucas asked when he saw that he was the only person that did not know what was being discussed. Doctor Ezra looked back at him, but did not say anything to him, but turned around and left. Lady Abbott looked at her son Alex and tears welled up in her eyes. She went ahead to engage him in a long embrace. "Can someone tell me what is going on here?" Lucas asked again, spreading out his hands and looking around. "In case you have not noticed, Alex has decided to donate the heart for Scarlett's transplant," Daphne said to him. Lucas has become such a pain in the ass and she was equally getting irritated."What is that supposed to mean?" Alex asked with an amused expression. Daphne looked at him unbelievably. He ignored her and moved to where Alex was standing."You think that you are the hero, right?" He asked Alex. "You went behind my back to see the doctor and agree to the transplant?" He continued. "I simply did what had to be done," Alex said."But you d

Alex rushed at her immediately while Nick picked up his phone immediately to call for help. Lucas turned on his phone too so he could make a quick call to Doctor Ezra about her current situation.If there was a right time to put aside their differences and work together, it had to be now. Nick looked at Daphne as he spoke to the pilot on the phone. He saw how she was visibly trembling and he knew she was highly terrified.He went over to where she was and put a hand around her in a comforting manner, rubbing her back gently in circles so she would calm down.Once she was calm, he held her close to him. "I am sorry about this but remember the doctor said panicking will increase your blood pressure, and it's not good for the baby," he said to her. She nodded and turned around to hug him.The medical team soon arrived with a travel bus and they collected an unconscious Scarlett immediately."I called Doctor Ezra and he said we need to bring her in immediately," Lucas said as they all fi

Scarlett stretched out her hand and touched him lightly. She watched him try to put himself together properly before he turned around with a big feigned smile on his face."What are you doing out here?" He asked her calmly. "You know it's cold out here," he added.She rolled her eyes. She was tired of everyone knowing what was good for her and what was not. It was all driving her nuts and she wished that they would all just give her a break. It irritated her more because he seemed to be having his struggles but was still looking out for her like she was a priority."Why were you crying?" She asked him. He looked up at her sharply."I was not crying. I just have a cold and it has given me a runny nose, but—""Oh don't lie to me," Scarlett cautioned him. "I know what I heard."He was silent for a while as he avoided her eyes. Thoughts of what he would say to her rummaged through his mind. An idea soon occurred to him."It's about my company," he finally said. "I think we might be runni

"What did you say to her in there?" Nick asked as he took Daphne back to where they were seated initially. "Maybe if you had not rushed in there like we were planning your murder, I would have had the chance to have even a normal conversation with her," Daphne said, sounding agitated."At the end of the day, Scarlett might probably start to request answers from you guys," she continued. "You are all doing a bad job at keeping a secret," she added. Just then, Scarlett passed by and went to take her seat. "Is everything okay?" She asked Lucas. "You all came to the restroom," she added in case they had not understood why she asked."We just wanted to make sure that you were doing great," Alex was the one that answered. He stood up afterward and headed out. If he had to lie to Scarlett one more time, he might as well end up spilling the beans.He had to walk away to prevent himself from saying anything. Nick excused himself and followed after his brother. They got into another compartm
