All Chapters of The Tycoon's Lost Child: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

James Monrow was the butler of Meyer Mansion for as long as Meyer Mansion was around. at fifty years old, he was sharp, with the determination of a military commander, and he was very much the butler that Nickolas had met years ago. over the years his duties at the Mansion changed to accommodate Nickolas and his growing needs. Nicholas was against a house full of servants, and for years it was just him and James, with James overseeing everything inside the Mansion. but now he was more of Nickolas's right-hand man at home. with that added benefit, he left the cottage that he used to occupy outside the Mansion and moved inside the house to be closer to Nickolas. but he frequented his cottage for his leisurely activities. The cottage was located behind the Mansion. James had spent a lot of time over the years turning it to his taste. he planted trees all around it to enclose it. its entrance was neatly tugged behind tall shrubs away from prying eyes. it was the only place in the whole M

Nicholas was in a meeting when James called about Grace's breakdown. his brows wrinkled as he listened to James narrate the story over the phone. After the call, he expertly drew the meeting to a close and walked out of the boardroom with his secretary on his heel. doting down everything on a notepad, as he barked out instructions at her. she saw how agitated he was, and knew that phone must have had something to do with it.Nicholas was a private person, his private life was personal, he never took it to work, and those two never mixed. his employees could only guess about his life outside work. When Nickolas stepped outside his office building, his security team and driver were already waiting for him by the car. the black Cadillac sped off the minute he settled into his seat in the backseat.James had sent the location of the psychiatric hospital to the driver after he spoke to Nickolas.Once he arrived at the hospital, he took long strides to Grace's ward, his heart thumping in h

The Black Cadillac stopped in front of the Meyer Mansion and Nickolas Meyer came out, taking long strides toward the entrance of the Mansion. inside the hallway, James was standing with the Chief of Police. they turned their heads in his direction when they saw him. "Mr. Meyer, it is rather unfortunate to meet under these circumstances." he took off his hat as he greeted the other man politely. "I'm glad you could make it personally." He extended his hand to the man who gladly took it in a firm handshake. Once the two men finished with the courtesies, James took Nickolas to the side and left the chief of police with his man to do their work. when they were out of hearing range, "How is Grace doing?" he could hardly hold the drumming in his chest."I called the Doctor and he sedated her. I don't see how she will recover from this one." James looked at him distrustfully. "I called your office first and your secretary said you went to lunch with a certain miss Oxton." he dropped the

Amelia checked her phone to see if she had any messages but no one had texted. Nickolas had not texted. she thought of the way he sounded the night before. She almost felt sorry for him. But not quite. and she couldn’t understand why, most people said every woman's maternal instincts automatically kicked in a crisis but hers didn’t. Maybe it was the pain he caused her when he left her for Grace to fend for herself. she didn’t know which but she could not bring herself to feel sad for him. She was sad though that they didn't finish what they were doing yesterday when his phone rudely interrupted them. She wanted to call him and find out how he was holding up but she did not want to ruin her chances of being Mrs. Meyer in the future by being a pest. He was staying with Grace full-time but had not tied the knot or even gotten as close as he had with her, which meant there was still a chance for them. Someone knocked at the door, and her thoughts of Nickolas came to a standstill. she

A week had passed and Luther was nowhere close to catching Susan, who by now seemed to be enjoying the cat-and-mouse game. she knew he was on her tail and she left Luther little clues for him to find, only for them to be dead ends.The house was dead silent, Rose had taken Grace out under the pretense of grocery shopping. when she was not openly blushing at anything James said, she kept Grace as busy as she could manage, so much so she didn't have time to be alone or move around the house, and think about Neill.James was drawing up the coming week's schedule when he heard someone coming down the stairs. he left his chair on the kitchen island to investigate the intruder, and came face to face with Nicholas. He looked at him like he'd seen a ghost. his hair was damp and he had a towel around his waist. which meant he'd been in his room all the time this morning. "What are you doing here?""I live here James" he chuckled, "with you and Grace and..." he left the sentence hanging."W
