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.

Prologue

Prologue “What are you doing?” Anger, pure anger and extreme fear flowed through her veins. The type of anger that almost feels like a heart wrecking betrayal, making your insides hurt and your mind go red losing its focus. The type of anger that makes you feel helpless and want to lose your sanity yet, there was nothing you could do. That was the type of anger she felt when she stood so close to him her back pressed to the hard wall with her hand painfully twisted behind her back she was sure it was going to leave an angry looking bruise. A dark frightening laughter erupted deep within his throat. It sounded almost like a desperate and defeated one and she gulped painfully. She should have known that daring a belligerent billionaire like himself was a very very stupid idea. The adrenaline shot up her spine making her quiver in utter fear. What has she gotten herself into? The thought of becoming his was the most frightening image she could ever imagine but there was nothing she co

Chapter 1

Chapter 1Walking down the quiet starry night of Lagos state, she knew she had made it and that too, with flying colors. Tomorrow, her long anticipated and anxious wait will finally come to an end because she is finally applying for her first internship in her dream hospital. Who wouldn’t be happy about that? No one she quessed. When she arrived home, she found her mom packing up her stuff into her traveling bag and sniffing all along. “Mom?!” She whined calmly, sitting by her side. “Am not leaving forever, I am just trying to further my education, that's all. Why are you so worried?” She asked, wiping away the remnants of her tears. “I know, but the thought of not having you by my side makes me so anxious that I can’t even think straight. What if something happens to you there and I am not close by? What then hmm? Am scared Emma, I don’t want you to leave” she admitted looking at Emma’s face with pity. “Okay, let’s do this”. She started, “I will forget about becoming a successful

Chapter 2“What is happening? She panicked. She walked further into the crowd of people and what she saw was nothing she had anticipated. The once grumpy and rude receptionist was laying in the pool of her own blood. She gasped and took three steps back out of fright wondering what could have happened just within forty minutes of her departure to meet with her future supervisor. “What the hell happened here?” She asked a nurse who was also covered in blood. “Her ex husband happened” was her simple reply. Before anything else could take place, she was immediately rushed to the ER and the police took over by interrogating the remaining receptionist that was present at the moment. She just hopes that her internship wouldn’t get affected by this situation. Don’t get her wrong, she just has a lot to deal with and loads of debts to pay off. She really feels sorry for the grumpy receptionist. But, Why would her husband try to kill her? Nevertheless, she left the hospital and went to the n

Chapter 3 And guess what, it ranged out. She expected that, she tried again and this time, someone answered that call on the third ring. “Hello?” She asked, carefully clutching her phone tightly. “Am I speaking with Mr lightwood?” “No, but with his receptionist. How May I help you today?” A female voice answered politely and at this, Emma found it in herself to calm down a little bit. She just got tensed for no good reason. “I am Emma Newton, I was asked to call this number” she replied “Oh! Yeah, actually I have been anticipating your call since yesterday, Miss Emma. The boss would like to meet with you if that is alright” she asked. Why would he want to meet someone like her? She has nothing to offer him nor does he hold anything that belongs to her which he wants to return, so why? “Yeah” she answered back “Great then, I will send a car to pick you by 5pm this evening. Is that okay?” “Yeah it is” and she hung up. Glancing at the wall clock that hangs opposite her, she had

Chapter 4“I heard you applied for an internship in a private hospital and got rejected right?” How did he know about that? Only she knew of it. Was he stalking her? What ever the case may, she was displeased. “How did you know about that?” She mumbled her perplexed expression giving her out. He chuckled and sat upright turning his attention back to his computer. “I also know your family is in debt and your father hospitalized, but you have no money whatsoever to pay for his surgery?” “How did you know all that? She questioned with a raging heart. What is happening? “That doesn’t matter now, Miss Newton, as I said earlier, I have a job offer for you which you can’t afford to miss knowing that you are in need of money” he concluded now glancing back at her with a sinister stare. She gulped and said, “What is the offer?” She mumbled “I want you to be my caretaker!” He announced. Sitting there as if glued to her seat, she dumbfoundedly stared back at him. She opened her mouth to s

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 “What happened David? Tell me” her alarmed voice asked “Em? It is dad” he replied with stammering voice. David’s cry only meant one thing, her father was in a critical condition. “What happened to him?” She choked out her disturbed self longed forgotten. “He was just having his meal a minute ago and now he is in the hospital in a dire need of surgery” how can that be possible? When she left him, he was coping quite well and was even going out for jogs sometimes when he got bored sitting at home. “What are the doctors saying now?” She just hopes it isn't bad news“They really haven’t said anything specific yet, he just needs surgery done at the earliest” what will she do now? She doesn’t have a job nor does she have any money. Her only option is to be shameless and ask for an advance payment from her employer. How ridiculous would she sound when she goes to him. Already, she had started seeing how much disrespect she would lose from him. Not that she has any in the firs

Chapter 6

Seeing her walk through the compound gate was like a blessing she never knew was awaiting her, suddenly, her little self loathing stunt followed the breeze and a big smile appeared right after it. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She rushed back to her living room and opened the main door to slip into the elevator to meet her long lost best friend, Elena Gilbert. As soon as the doors opened, she made a mad dash out of the elevator and ran into her friend’s arms giving her a bone crushing hug. “I can’t breathe,” Elena choked out. “Oh, am sorry I just…” she trailed off, releasing her carefully with a mighty smile on her face. “How I have missed you can’t really be put in words” she said softly. The pale skinned blonde with blue eyes and a plump lips wearing an expensive but comfortable clothes smiled at her best friend and replied,“I missed you too honey” Elena stated. After reminiscing a little about their past lifestyle, they decided to go into the apartment and have a very good con

Chapter 7

“What the hell is all this?” He yelled angrily at his PA Carol who was standing and shaking silently. She had never seen him so riled up like this before, so what is the matter? “I gave you a simple task and even that you can’t do carefully? Then tell me what the bloody hell are you still doing in my office?” He demanded. Getting angry was really not his thing but since the day he met with Emma Newton he was not himself again. The littlest of things makes him so mad that he had already fired a few of his hard working employees already and it already seemed like he was about to fire Carol. “Am sorry sir” was all she could say to him right that moment. All she was told was that he had asked her to prepare all the files that required his signature on his desk before he arrived the next morning and unfortunately for her, he came earlier than expected that morning. But seriously, what was her fault in that? She apologized for the uptheenth time without making eye contact because she wa

Chapter 8

She turned around slowly as if she was scared the lion at her back would just jump at her if she made a wrong move. She dropped the cloth she was about to hang on the bed and stood up carefully walking to the young lady standing at her bedroom’s threshold. The young lady, who had brunette colored hair that stopped at her mid waist with an olive skin and rather large black eyes, was already assumed by Emma that she was in her teens. Maybe 13 or 14 years old thereabout. But why does it feel like the girl already hated her guts? With the way she was glaring at Emma, you could already see the hatred dripping off her. “Hi,” Emma said curtly. This girl is giving her goosebumps already. “I asked you a question?” She replied disdainfully. “I am your new nanny,” she answered. The girl made a quick mocking chuckle and let herself in, then sat in the previous space her father sat on. “Our nanny you say?” She asked. Emma already knew that this girl is really going to be a pain in the ass not

Chapter 9

She gulped and plastered a small smile on her face before she answered, “I um.. brought you dinner” lord! This girl is really making her lose her mind. Whenever she’s anywhere close to her, she just knows that there will be problems. She wonders why she hates her so much. “I didn’t ask you too, now leave my room. Outsiders are not permitted in here” what…? Outsiders? Is she kidding her? “Look Amelia,” she started calmly but God knows that she so wanted to smack her hard across her face. “Don’t! I don’t want to hear it, so you can just leave me the hell alone. Stop trying to be my mom” is that what she thinks she is doing right now? She was just trying to be nice to her, that's all. Why would he want to be her mom? She has no reason to. “Look Amelia I am not trying to be your mom or something I just wanted to be nice to you and that’s all. I brought dinner for you because I thought you might be a little hungry because you didn’t really have anything earlier. But if you still think
