Sophia POV
FEW DAYS LATER
I have gotten used to Sophia calling me mum, but she has never called me that when her father is around. Maybe he will scold her for calling me that. Ava's is sweet and warm to be with.
It's the birthday of my adopted daughter today, and the Lucas insisted that a large party be hosted to celebrate her sixth years birthday. He employed some maids to help with the preparations.
The beauticians has been busy getting the Ava dressed, while I stay by her side. She look extremely happy, and it makes me remember when I was little, my parents make sure they makes us happy by getting us what they want even though we don't have much, a drop of tears drop from my eyes when I remember my mum condition and I quickly clean it before Ava knew I am crying. There's no need to cry I shouldn't be a coward, right?
"Are you OK, Mum?" Her tiny voice pulls me out of my deep thoughts, and that is when I realize that she has been calling me but I was too lost to hear her."Yes, daughter. I'm fine," I smile at her as I watch her stand up to her feet. The beauticians that were getting her dressed already left the room, leaving the two of us alone in the room.
"How does this look on me? I feel like I'm not beautiful enough," She whines as she checks herself out in the mirror, and I can't help but smile at how cute she is. One thing I've come to notice about her these past days that I spent with her, is her love for beautiful and luxurious things. I don't blame her anyway. If I have a dad that spoils me with luxury the way Lucas does to his her, then I'm sure that I won't be any different. I've been longing to ask Ava where her mother is, but it will be disrespectful to ask her that type of question.
"It looks perfect on you, my love. You look stunning," I compliment her, but the look on her face doesn't look like she's satisfied with the dress. For crying out loud, she picked the dress by herself and her father paid huge amount of money for it, so what on earth is she saying now?
"Are you sure? Will father like it? What if he doesn't feel like I look good enough in it? Did you think this dress will catches people attention?" She whines, and I can't help but admire the bond she shares with her father. Was I like this with my father too in the past? Did he spoil me the way Lucas does to his kid now? Did we share this same unbreakable bond? I didn't grow up to know who my father was
"He will like it, I'm sure of that, OK?" Squatting in front of her, I pinch her cheeks and she smiles at me cutely. What a beauty."Come on, sweetheart, your guests are waiting for you already. Let's go show them what we've got," I take her hand, but she shakes her head.
"What is the problem, sweetheart?" Confused, I question her.
"You haven't dressed up yet. Come on, I got you a beautiful cloth to wear," My mouth drops open in shock as I watch her rushes over to her closet and throws it open. She picks out a blue long gown that's exactly the same design as her dress.
"I asked the beautician to picked this up for you. Do you like it?" She asks as she places it carefully on the bed, while I just stare in confusion. She didn't mean that is for me, right?
"Come on, change your cloth already. We're running late," She picks up the cloth again and hands it to me.
"I'm sorry, but I can't wear that. You're the celebrant, and besides, I'm just an ordinary nanny," I say to her, but she only chuckles.
"I, Ava Leon, commands you to wear the dress and take me out of here," Her voice airs dark aura even as she have a cute smile on her face.
"Hmm," I nod my head as I finally take the cloth from her and go to the dressing room where I change into the cloth.
"Wow! You look stunning in that," She smiles as soon as I step out of the dressing room. It's almost as if it's a mother and child wearing the same cloth.
"Thank you," I reply to her, feeling uncomfortable. The dress is too expensive for me, and I'm also scared of what Mr raper would say when he sees me wearing the same cloth with his daughter. I just hope this doesn't turn out bad.
"Come on, let's get going already," She holds my hand and pull me with her as we both stride out of the room.
A few minutes later at the royal hall
My heart beats rapidly against my chest as we finally stop in front of the location big gate, waiting for it to open. The guard finally opens the gate, and I almost jump out of my skin at the sight that welcomes me. The hall is filled with so many people. Wait! Did they all come for Ava's birthday?
Walking in while holding my gaze low, I bet all eyes are on me. Gosh! Why the heck did she insisted that I wear this? We finally stop in the middle of the hall, and I glance at the cleaner whose smile is so wide.
"See the way father is looking at you," She whispers to me, and I slowly raise my gaze to check what she's talking about, but my heart stops beating at the sight that welcomes me. Lucas has always looked handsome everyday, but the man I'm seeing now is way more handsome than the way he used to be. He's all graced in black expensive suit
, his raven hair is falling freely down his shoulders and stops on his waistline, with two braids on each end. His sparkling eyes melts my heart and takes my breath away. Wait! Why's he looking at me like that?
"Father..." Ava's suddenly calls his attention, and he quickly turns his gaze away to look at her, but I bet he still glances at me from the corner of his eyes.
"Happy birthday, my love," His smiles is everything to brighten your day.
"Thank you, father," She replies to him while having an exciting smile dancing on his lips.
I watch as Lucas stands up to his feet and turn his attention to me.
"Ava has never been this happy in any of her recent birthdays. Thank you for putting a smile on my daughter's beautiful face," He says to me while having a wide smile dancing on his lips.
"By the way, you're beautiful in that outfit," He whispers to my ear, and my heart misses a beat as my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. Gosh! There are people here for goodness sake. I shouldn't be blushing to his word, right? He is the one that ruin my life and that of my family.
"Thank you," I manage to reply him. He turns and takes Ava hand as he heads to the VIP to sit.
Hours later
The party ended about thirty minutes ago, and all the guests already returned to their various places. Except from Lucas mother. The party was fun, and we had so much wine to drink. My head feels so heavy, and the only thing on my mind right now is to get some sleep.
Ava already went to bed, and now I have to find my way to my room. I'm tipsy, but I can still manage to see. Dragging myself out of the room, I manage to find my way to my room, and I crash on the bed as soon as I step in.
'You look beautiful in that outfit' I suddenly sit up on the bed and cup my cheeks in my palms and I smile as I recall his words. He looked so cute.
"What are you doing here?" The voice I will never forget even in my deep sleep, speaks up beside me. Snapping my head in the direction of the voice, my mouth drops open in shock at the sight that welcomes me. There is Lucas standing with just a black towel hanging dangerously around his waist. What the hell!
SUSAN P.O.Vwhere am I? And what am I fucking doing inside his room? I look around the room to be sure. I rushed out of the room with tears in my eyes and walked straight to Ava room, my silly tears wake sleeping Ava up and she sat upright immediately."Mum what happened to you?" She asked, and i didn't reply her, i was busy crying my eyes out. Ava concluded her father was the reason why i was crying, she bash out of the room and i lye down flat on Ava bed still crying, i doesn't even know why I am crying, i just find my tears dropping more and more and I don't even have the strength to stop my babygirl.LUCAS P.O.VThe few minutes, Sophia left have been terrible for me as I keep thinking about her. It feels like something is missing in me, I can't feel my sense of authority when I'm around her. That sense that makes me feel like I'm superior to others, it's always missing when I'm with her. Sitting on the edge of my bed and diving away in thoughts, a knock on my door pulls me out
"Nevermind, I am very sure she's not the one, she can't be the one, right? I don't even like this your so called Nanny, her sight alone disgust me, how can you employ someone like her to be your daughter, nanny? Someone that doesn't know what it takes to be rich, I hate poor people and you know that?" Mrs Logan asked and Lucas sigh in frustration."Mrs Logan, who did you want me to employ, the president daughter? Or those people that will make my daughter uncomfortable?" Logan asked."I am sure Lora the president daughter is ready to be a nanny to your only child, she doesn't mind because she loves you, I don't know you will stoop so low to employ someone like that" Mrs Logan said."It's my choice and that's what my daughter want, I need to sleep if you don't mind..." Lucas said trying to sounds calm, he is tired of his mother complain, his mother have been bringing different types of women for Lucas to marry, since he is the only child, she has tried employing nanny for Ava, since Lu
"Hello, Sophia I haven't heard from you, what's happening, Sophia?" A male voice said from the other end and Sophia sighed, she doesn't need anyone to tell her who the person is before she find out it was her best friend."Yeah, I know, right? I am just trying to gather something's, I found something but I need to be sure before sending it to you, Kingsley" She replied, Kingsley was her friend, she planned everything with him. Kingsley was one of the people that wants to see her get her revenge no matter what."You're taken too long, Sophia you should be out of there by now. Or have you fallen in love with that devil, this isn't you, Sophia it's not too hard to get something from that billionaire, they have a lot of secrets, or are you slacking off? Should I come and join you in that house? I can apply as a driver, Lucas must not go unpunished, yeah he must suffer for what he did to you" Kingsley said from the other end and Sophia chuckled."I know my dear friend, I should get somethi
LUCAS P.O.VWalking back to my room, I fell flat on the bed and breathe out. I don't know what's happening to me, why did I keep seeing this lady everywhere I go? I have never feel this way before even when I was dating my late fiance. The sound of the room telephone ringing pulls my attention from my thinking, and I reach out for it. "Lucas, your maid haven't attended to me since I woke up, what type of maid is she? Is she not supposed to do all the things I need even without asking?" Mum yelled from the phone and I mentally scoffed. I don't know why mum is like this, I have checked on her this morning and she's doing fine, I wonder why she doesn't like, Sophia. Because to me Sophia is loveable. "Mum, she's not a maid, she is Ava Nanny she doesn't have any business with you," I reply to her coldly, and without waiting for another word from her, I drop the telephone. I don't care about what she says next, I'm not in the mood to listen to her complain. She should p
Chapter 14SOPHIA P.O.VLucas moved closer to the lady and drag her by her cloth, I heard he had hot temper, let me see what he is gonna do to her. Don't be surprised I was the one that sent the lady, I didn't asked her to hit Ava that much, but I am glad she's not hurt. My brother Stephen is also in a corner ready to capture his next action. Yes my families are in support of this revenge. Mum said. 'No blood shed, clean revenge' and that's what I am gonna do. Did I just say that? Don't mind me I wasn't in my right sense, I can decide to go with plan B if this plan didn't work because plan B Is the best. Leaving the world will be the best revenge for me, right? Killing him will be the best option, I am ready to go to jail for it. He move closer to the lady and kick her hard. The lady landed on her face with a loud trump. As if that's not enough Lucas keep kicking her and his mother just stand there to watch with a smirk dancing on her face. What type of mother is she? She should have
Chapter 15Lucas P.o.v"What did you think you just did, Lucas?" Mother yelled and Ava turned to look at her."Why are you shouting at my father?" Ava frown and I chuckled lightly."Because he is my son, why can he give his card to that girl? Why just how Lucas? Why did you do that?" Mother yelled again and Ava flinched."He is my father so stop yelling at him, I don't like it when you shout at my Dad" she says. Mum didn't say any more words, she knew she's no match to Ava. I drove to Dad compound and Ava rushed down from the car."Grandpa!" She called and ran inside the mansion. I came down from the car and mum rushed to my front."Hope it's not what I am thinking?" She asked and placed her hand on her waist."I don't know what you're thinking, but I am glad to tell you that it wasn't what you're thinking" I says and rushed after my daughter, I can hear her grumping voice, but I just pretended as if I didn't hear anything. It's better to pretend than to listen to whatever she has to
Chapter 16Lucas P.o.v"I think it was a set up, because how can they film you like that something like this have never happened before, did you know the damage this little thing will do to the company? I have always told you control your anger, have you seen what you caused?" Adams said and I chuckled lightly, I don't know why he is busy blaming me, it wasn't my fault. "You and I know I can't overlook anything when it comes to my daughter, I am very sure, Max did this, he is the only enemy I have""I think he's up to something," Adam further says, and I glance at him. Even if he didn't tell me, I know that bastard is up to something. Max is one of the shareholders, he has more share than everyone, he has always wished to be the next chairman after Dad, but js that even possible? I'm currently working on a project which will need his support for it to be successful, and as my assistant, I sent Adam to talk to him, and he dares ask to see me in person. What does he want? A whole me? I
