Desmond's POV:After consoling Lucy and reassuring her that it will be fine ,she left my office and headed back home.No matter what happens now, I have to think about my happiness and my happiness lies where she is.Joseph,my son,has already told me that he sees Lucy as a mother figure.Joseph took a liking towards Lucy because Danny, his friend, told him how much his mum loves him.I guess it was from then that Joseph told me to make Lucy his nanny. I wanted to see her for myself so I went to the kindergarten. I was glad that I went there and hired her as his nanny.I had to get prepared for meeting up with Vera ,because I want this done as quickly as possible.I can recall my parents telling me if things get too hard for me I can always fall back to them for support, even though I might not need your support now in the future if I have a problem, I might contact them.I met up with my lawyer to discuss the divorce. The divorce was not going to be favorable for me, because the law
Lucy's POV:Desmond has already told me that he has asked her for divorce but she refused.I knew that Vera would try to fight this.Desmond isn't the type to lie, so I know he wants to divorce her even though it will take some time now, because she has refused to get a divorce.The only thing that Vera could do was send me text messages asking me to stay away from her man. These days when Desmond leaves for work I leave with him and go and help Bella in her cafe.When the kids return back from kindergarten the bodyguards are with us so they stop Vera from doing anything stupid, which she has tried a couple times.She hasn't been alone with me since this started ,so I have no problem with it.Desmond also gives me breaks on weekends, I go out with the kids and go and rest in one of his apartments.Desmond doesn't come with us , because he has told me that she has accused him of cheating and wanted to cook up some lies to prove she was a victim ,so he needed to be careful until the di
Desmond's POV:Vera refused to accept the divorce.And she also refused to leave quietly in the house.What she does everyday is to wait for me to come back from work and she starts bothering me with nonsense questions.One day, I came back from work and she asked that we talk.I agreed to talk to her, because I thought she wanted to say something about accepting the divorce.But she just said bullshit."I want to work in your company." She announced and I looked at her as if she was crazy."What?" I asked her."I thought about it and we clearly don't know each other enough, so I decided to consider the divorce if you let me work in your company in a high position." She told me and I just stared at her as if she had grown an extra head.What could she possibly be scheming to make her want to come to my company?I know well enough that I did not want to see this woman anywhere in my company, so I can't accept it.But on second thought ,I could fire her if she did something bad."If I g
Desmond's POV:I was at work when I received a call that Vera was in the hospital. She was hit by a truck and was taken to the hospital.They told me she was in critical condition and I needed to come back to the hospital quickly.I rushed out of the company building, got into my car and drove off to the address of the hospital.She should be at home ,because I know very well that I didn't give her any money to go anywhere, she must have gone to see her parents.Gosh!Is she even supposed to be driving by now?I got to the hospital and was told where she was, the doctor didn't look happy he said he was sorry and that I should go and talk for the last thing, there was nothing he could do, he told me the impact of the car was too strong and they tried their best and now left for her is to survive.From the way the Doctor was talking, he was telling me it was best that I have a last talk with her.What is going on?Vera was just so lively recentlyHow can she be in this state?I called h
ONE YEAR LATER Lucy's POV: We waited for a year before we could proceed with our relationship. The kids were so happy when we said we were now together. Even though I know Desmond feels upset by how things ended with Vera, he can't bring her back so we could only just move on. Andrew, who was responsible for her death, is already paying for his crimes behind bars, but I think Desmond was upset that this ended this way. I know he wanted a good relationship with Vera even after their divorce ,but she didn't want to make it happen. Desmond was really nice ,he told me he wants us to take it slow. I wonder if he partly blamed himself for the death of Vera, or if you blame me for it, because it was Andrew, my ex boyfriend, that killed her. I was scared of asking him ,because I think the answer he will give me would upset me more. No matter how much you put the past behind us ,we know very well it will be a part of our life now , since they are also our kids' parents. "What are you
I was humming to the music that was playing on my phone as I was preparing a list of things I needed to get from the grocery store.I opened the fridge and looked through the items in it, then I heard my phone ringing and I turned to the kitchen counter.I took the phone and smiled when I saw the caller as I answered the call."Tory good afternoon, how are you?" I asked and she told me she was fine.Tory was acting strange and told me she needed to speak to me but not on the phone,she wanted to meet up with me.Even though I told her she could just tell me over the phone she insisted we meet up at some restaurant.I saw nothing wrong with deciding to go since I wanted to go out for groceries.I took my car keys and left for the destination. She told me she wanted us to meet.Tory was always with Andrew not leaving his side for once even before he became my boyfriend.She is a childhood friend of his and one of his business partners, so I knew whatever she wanted to say must be somethi
When I got back to my senses I drove back home.Andrew wasn't home when I returned and I was restless. Even in my restlessness I cooked his favorite meal. Silly of me,my boyfriend might have cheated on me and I still had the energy to cook.Andrew never liked maids so none was hired in his house and I did all the work in the house.I didn't mind because I had nothing else to do,I was just his live-in girlfriend after all.I waited for Andrew to come home and welcomed him with a loving smile ignoring all that had happened earlier today because I didn't want to cause an argument and make him leave. When I wanted to take his briefcase from him he stopped me but my smile never wavered."Welcome home I made dinner." I told him as he proceeded to go up the stairs to our room not sparing a glance at me."Should I bring it upstairs?" I asked and got no reply so I followed him closely behind.He dropped his briefcase on the table when we got into the room and proceeded to uncuff his cufflink
FIVE YEARS LATERLucy's pov;I was wiping the tables in the cafe ,when I saw a man wearing a suit walk in and I smiled.I just suddenly remember how Daniel, my son , is so fixated on men in suits,not suits but a tux ,I think he likes the bow tie in particular.It makes me smile when he says he wants to wear a tuxedo but it also makes my heart ache that I can't buy him a tuxedo just yet.I am saving up to buy him one on his next birthday but I don't know if he would still love to wear a tuxedo by then because kids change their mind on things so easily.One minute he is fighting to get it with all his strength, but the next minute he just tosses it away to the side as if it meant nothing."Good morning sir, please sit ,what can I get you?" I asked the man who smiled and sat."The usual." He said and I went to prepare his coffee.I work a lot of part time jobs because it is flexible and I can control how long I want to work to an extent,the only thing that matters is I have time to go an
