With one of the best college grades and her degree in medicine, Emma Newton’s next plan is to move to Abuja to pursue her dreams. Her goals in life were easy; get a great job at a private hospital, pay back all her family's debts and make her parents proud. That was before her father got very sick in front of her eyes and is fighting for his life. She reluctantly moves to Abuja with one major goal at the top of the list; Save her father from dying. Alex Lightwood is the CEO of the billion dollar technology company; Pearl mobile, and one of the top business moguls in Abuja. He's also one of the hottest men in the city. But what no one knows is the pain he carries in his heart from mourning the death of his wife and first love. Because of that, he has become cold hearted and ruthless. His wife left him with their three kids but he can't stand to look at them because they remind him of her so much so he hires nanny after nanny to take care of them. However, his mischievous and ill mannered kids have sent away all THIRTY nannies he's hired. That's when he realizes he needs major help. Fate causes Emma and Alex’s paths to cross and he offers her a job to be 'His Caretaker’. Desperate for the money to save her father, she accepted. To Emma Newton, Alex Lightwood must be the coldest, insufferable, arrogant and bipolar person she has ever come across. But, to Alex Lightwood, Emma Newton is the only girl who has ever dared to look him in the eye and question him. Will they let love win or their egos?

He shot the screen closed and sat on his bed thinking of a way to approach Emma now that he knew what he had done to her. No wonder she was trying so hard to keep the truth to herself because it was obviously embarrassing to say it out loud. Finally he made his way to the kitchen and still saw her there seated with a mug in her hand sipping something. “You are back” she stated matter of fact. Sensing his uneasiness she asked, “what happened? Why are you so gloomy all of a sudden?” He turned around walking majestically like a king but only he knew the truth behind his composure. His heart was running a marathon just by staring at her beautiful face. “Ms. Newton…” he started, “what ever happened between us yesterday was a mistake, I was drunk and didn’t know what I was doing so don’t get any wrong ideas okay?” His voice as cold as ice vocalized while his stares sent chills down her spi
By the time she could comprehend what he was about to do, it was already too late as he had his arm snakes around her tiny waist pulling her closer to his chest. With his intoxicated breath, he leaned in and pressed his firm but soft lips on her making her shudder slightly. She shifted uncomfortably trying to pry his arms from around her delicate waist but all her attempts were rendered useless, because the more she struggled to free herself, the tighter he held her. “Mr Lightwood…” she started but her voice came out as a sensual moan as he was now kissing his way down her neck. Having a little taste of her made him lose his senses and go wild; he couldn't control himself. His hands skillfully caressed her back pushing her to himself as if it wasn’t enough that their bodies were already too close. Sucking on her earlobe, Emma let out a satisfying moan and wrapped her arms around his shoulder tilting her head to grant him more access. Feeling the heat brewing between them their san
Two weeks had finally flown by but there was still no sign of Alex whatsoever and that worried Emma. Glancing at the little girl who was so engrossed in playing with her doll with a wide smile on her face, made Emma’s heart clench. The day they found her doll, she was so happy that she couldn’t contain it and fell off a few flights of stairs but instead of crying, she hugged her doll tightly to her chest. Saying, “I really missed you Jenna! I thought I will never see you again” she called her doll’s name. Emma sighed and rubbed the girl’s head then stood up and went to the library to read some educational books. By the time she was done, it was already dinner time but since Mrs. Beena was around that day, she didn’t bother herself and continued to read. “Nanny Emma?” Julia whispered gently, standing by the threshold and holding a tray of food in his hands. Since the day she dressed his wounds and asked if he was being bullied in school and he affirmed it, she gave him a piece of
“What are you doing here?” Alex grumbled, walking deeper into the room. The humiliated woman pushed herself up and walked up to him, placing her arms around his neck mumbling in a sexy voice,“Look baby, I know I made a mistake earlier but don’t push me away please, I can’t live without you” she slurred. Clearly she was drunk and that angered him the most. “Leave” he stated with a cold glare. She became confused for a minute then a soft look appeared in her eyes and begged again, “Alex…” she started again, pressing her body to his. He hissed and pushed away roughly growling, “Leave Natasha, now” he said again he was deemly in the mood for anything. Being rejected and humiliated for the second time in one day,she gathered her remaining self respect and bounced out of the room raging profusely. He released a heavy sigh then had a warm bath and went to sleep. He woke up the next morning feeling better than he was yesterday. He stood up and had his bath then ordered for a light brea
He stood there staring at her wondering if she had lost her mind or something. Was she really asking him why he didn’t come home for almost two weeks? She definitely wasn’t scared of him and that itched his ego. “What did you just say?” He dangerously demanded. She swallowed her thick spit and repeated carefully, “Why didn’t you come home for almost two weeks?” She wasn’t expecting him to react that way so she tamed her little ego and lowered her gaze but then she thought again, why was she afraid of him? She was simply asking something, she wasn’t telling him to sleep with her or something, she proudly raised her head up high and looked deep into his eyes. He walked up to her ever so slowly and stopped right in front of her short self and whispered, “The next time you ask me that, will be the last time you speak in this house, do you understand?” He threatened She nodded meekly as his threatening words flowed down her spine giving her electric shocks and numbing her brains. Bu
Emma stood there glaring at the little brats as they challenged her back to back. God help her, but she was extremely tired of their rudeness. Not that she couldn’t do a thing about it, but she feared for her job; she wasn’t ready to give it up just yet. She turned her back to them and walked away leaving them to deal with whatever they were assigned to do. “I thought you left already?” She asked as soon as she walked into her room seeing how her best friend sprawled her arms and legs carelessly on her huge bed. “Hmm I was about to, but then I changed my mind seeing that you could need a good talk about your messed up life and I just happen to be your last hope who is actually ready to listen to your very whine” Elena said sitting up and hugging a throw pillow. Emma sighed and walked up to her feeling emotionally down and laid on her bed placing her head in Elena laps “Go on spill” Elena urged “What is there to say Elena? I.. I just don’t want any of this to get to me because if
Emma stood there looking the poor little girl with dismayed eyes just how many times has her father missed her special days? He felt saddened and squatted to her level and gave her hug. “Why is daddy doing this nanny Emma?” She cried out wiping the droplet of tears threatening to escape down her cheeks “Don’t worry Abby dear, he will be here” she assured patting her on the back calmly. She pulled away looking at the poor little girl’s red eyes and stared,“Why don’t we go back to the party and enjoy ourselves till your father arrives?” She asked, Abby meekly nodded and held Emma’s pinky finger then headed down the stairs to attend the ongoing party. Who is that cute lady standing right next to Abby, Amelia? Sara one of Amelia’s friends asked. She was the closet to her because quess what their mindset is the same, sassy and bossy. Amelia rolled her eyes and snorted before she answered, “No one” “Well she doesn’t look like ‘no one’ judging by the way Abby has been clinging into he
“What?” Abby almost cried. Looking at their angry faces, Emma knew that what Abby said might have upset them more than anything else. But, why? She’s just a little girl. “Julia, Amelia?” Mrs Beena warned. Though Amelia was itching to answer Mrs Beena, she knew the woman was old enough to become her grandmother so she remained tamed. Emma was shocked that Amelia didn’t say anything to Mrs Beena, so she had someone she respected? That’s a first.Feeling the tension in the dining hall rising by each passing minute Emma finally spoke up, “Listen, tomorrow is your birthday right?” She asked Abby who suddenly became happy again. “Yes nanny Emma” she replied excitedly “Are you happy?” Mrs Beena boomed. Abby nodded her head smiling from ear to ear. Everytime she was told her birthday was coming up she tends to be overly excited about it because her friends will be coming over and she would have all kinds of pretty gifts and postcards. That was her best part though, the gifts. Alright let
“Amelia?” Emma gasped. She felt so embarrassed and ashamed by her attitude. How can a little girl like herself speak to an elder like Elena. What's more wrong is that, the elder she just spoke rudely to was her best friend. “What is wrong with you?” She continued. “I didn’t remember asking for you opinion whenever I say something. And the last time I checked, you were just a miserable person lurking around and my father took pity in you and hired you as his caretaker. Don’t come into my house and boss me around that won’t work okay? Next time do well to remember that” she shot both of them a cold glare and sashayed away. Emma carefully stole a glance at her friend from her peripheral vision and noticed a shock and embarrassed feature embedded on her face. What a degrading encounter. She almost cringed. “Elena, I'm so sorry… I..” she didn’t know what to say to her. Her friend had just been insulted by a little girl and she just sat there like a seal tape had been glued to her mouth
