Nanny For The Billionaire CHAPTER 36
Scarlett woke up and touched Lucas' side of the bed, but it was empty. She needed help getting out of bed. It had been such a rollercoaster of emotions for her since Clara came back, and Lucas seemed to be entertaining her excesses.She finally managed to get out of bed and slid a jacket over her slim frame. It barely covered her already bulging tummy. She knew that the kids were already off to school, and she had told Danielle that she would not make it to the culinary school because she had a doctor's appointment later in the day.As she approached Lucas' study, she could hear muffled voices as though he was speaking to someone. She waited by the door and eavesdropped so she would know who it was. She could not believe her ears at the sudden realization. She looked at her phone. It was barely 8 am, and Clara was already at the house.She pressed her ears to the door. "I just want to be close to the kids," she heard Clara say. Lucas did not say anything for a while, and there was a b

"I don't think you are in the right condition for this trip," Lucas said to Scarlett as she arranged some clothes in a suitcase. She let go of the piece of clothing she had in her hand and moved towards him."I'm just six months pregnant, and I am doing fine," she said to him reassuringly. Even though she had told him multiple times about the food tour with George and other members of her class at the culinary school, he had insisted that he did not want her going on the trip."It's just two weeks and I will be back before you know it," she said to him and resumed packing her clothes. He made a sad face and it only made her laugh.Lucas knew that she could not afford to miss out on the food tour. It was one of her final programs in culinary school before she could finally graduate as a professional chef. He had seen tremendous progress in her culinary skills. They barely ate out as she cooked all their dishes. He had gotten used to them already."What are you going to do about Clara w

Scarlett dialed Lucas for the umpteenth time but he would not respond to her. He had promised to come get her from the airport, and she had been there for over an hour and her feet were burning.Unluckily for her, Danielle and George did not join the crew back home. She had wanted to spend time with them on their little holiday, but the news Lucas broke to her three nights ago still rang a bell in her ear."Lucas, please, come get me from the airport," she said as the call went straight to voicemail again. She huffed in exasperation and went to take a seat.When she did not receive any luck after an hour, she resolved to take a cab back home. She could not help but feel like Lucas had been a bit distant. Before Clara's return, he would be at the airport an hour before her plane touched the ground. Thoughts about what he could be doing with Clara at the moment flooded her mind.The house was quiet when she got inside. "Lucas," she called out, but there was no answer. She looked at her

Lucas pressed his ears to the bathroom door as he tried to make out what Clara was saying. He had seen her enter the bathroom and turn on the tap before she answered her phone. She thought he was asleep, but he was waiting for the opportunity to know what she was hiding from him."I said I just need a little more time," she whispered over the phone. There was a brief pause."I said you do not need to handle this yourself. Soon, the money would be sent to you," she whispered again.Lucas tried to put the dots together. It was probably the man that had texted her the other night, and he knew that something was amiss.He just had to find out about it."Do not say such things to me again, until I am sure that I am in a safe place," she said again before he heard her end the call and turn off the tap.He rushed to the bed immediately and pretended to be asleep. He felt her side of the bed sink as she climbed and came up to where he was, resting her head on his chest. He did not budge.When

Lucas paced about his enormous living room as he watched the clock. It was 2 am and Scarlett was yet to return from school. Her phone was switched off and he wondered where she could be.He was especially concerned because she was pregnant and was probably hurt or had been kidnapped. He knew that she had received some threats because of him, and he prayed silently that she was not in danger.His phone rang and he hurriedly answered it. It was Daniel, his detective friend on the line. "Any news?" Lucas asked in haste. Daniel was quiet for a while. "I suggest you stay calm for now while we do our job," he finally said. "For now, please send me a photo of what her car looks like and the plate number on it," he demanded before he ended the call abruptly."What did he say?" Daphne asked. It was surprising that she had not slept already. She had successfully tucked the children in bed even though they insisted that they wanted to see Scarlett first. Lucas only shook his head in reply.

Alex looked around as he exited his hiding place. As soon as he heard the gunshot, he went into hiding. Trepidation overtook him as he watched from the window blinds of the building that he hid in.He could see Scarlett and he could see how much she struggled with her bleeding side. He looked at where the direction of the gunshot came from but he could not see anyone.When he was sure that it was safe, he came out and rushed to help Scarlett. He had only held her in her hand before she passed out. In a frenzy, he carried her in his arms and quickly got her into his car, and drove to the hospital. "Scarlett," he called out to her a couple of times but he could barely get a response out of her. She lay lifeless in his backseat, and he silently prayed that she was still alive. He looked at her side. It was still bleeding profusely and he knew that she was hanging on a very thin thread.He sped up and was soon at the hospital. The nurses came out immediately and she was put on a stretche

Daphne searched for her brother in the entire house. His study was empty, with files scattered around, as though they had been flung around by him in a fit of rage. She dashed to his bedroom and a similar mess sat there, but Clara was tapping away on her phone as she nibbled on some cookies."Have you seen Lucas?" She asked her even though she did not want to. Clara looked up at her and chuckled."You all have been acting so weird since that Scarlett girl died, and I think that at some point, you all would move on," she said without an iota of emotion."Someone just died a few days ago and that's all you have to say?" Daphne asked rhetorically, and Clara's eyes suddenly darted around in guilt."Well, if you are looking for Lucas, he has barely spoken to me for a few days now, and I do not know where he is," she said.Daphne shook her head and headed out, shutting the door behind her. She headed to the kitchen, so she would pour herself a cup of coffee. As the machine stopped whirring,

Alex rushed through his meeting with his new investors for his startup. He had taken so much time to prepare hard for the meeting, but thinking about Scarlett in the hospital, his attention span dwindled.Once the meeting had been concluded, he rushed to the hospital. The doctor had sent him a message that Scarlett was awake again. He had looked forward to it. She had collapsed into a coma for two weeks, and it was such a relief that he was finally awake.On his way, he thought of a gesture, something that would make her feel safe around him. He soon decided on some red and white roses he saw on his way, and he got them.Scarlett was sitting up when he got into the ward. The nurses were already attending to her, and when he walked in with the roses, she let out a small smile."How are you feeling?" He asked her calmly, silently praying that she had regained her memory. She only nodded and he was unsure of what to say next. He gave her the bouquet of roses he had gotten her and she sni

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
Nanny For The Billionaire CHAPTER 100
"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
