Gone (Lucas' POV)
Lucas
Silence greeted me as I walked past the foyer, a gripping cold silence that wrenched my heart. I knew she was not here yet I spent the next few minutes leaving no stone unturned to confirm the fact.
I had seen it in her eyes when she said she wanted to come home by herself and in that 10 minutes, I had been apart from her, she had slipped through my fingers.
I had never seen my home so cold and empty and quiet. Even when the kids were not there was still some warmth. But tonight it was as lifeless as I felt inside.
My eyes locked on the spot where she was standing the night she had told me she loved me too. The air still lingered of her scent.

The Billionaire's Nanny Tears
My eyes fluttered open at the first crack of dawn. Heavy, groggy, tired, swollen, one look at me, and anyone could tell that I had spent the whole night crying. I pushed myself up, managing to hold back from falling off Celine's high bed where I had found the comfort to drown myself in my sorrows.After the long drive, I gave the driver a handsome tip to drop me off on the sidewalk, telling him I would go back home on my own. He seemed skeptical but obliged after I gave him another heavy wad of bills from my purse. Bribery had never been a way of mine, but tonight there was no zest for virtue, just the aching, overwhelming need to getaway.An hour's walk brought me to the one place, the one person whose shoulder was always ready to carry the heavy brunt of my tears.Without knocking, I pushed the door front door open, thankful that I had walked in before she and Alexander went beyond the kissing stage. I already felt guilty for ruining one happy occasion tonight, I was not about to rui
The Billionaire's Nanny Crazy Ex
I threw on the first thing my hands reached for in Celine's closet. A pair of black jeans and a white knitted sweater that I did not remember giving her as a gift. It was chilly out, a little windy, it had even rained a few days ago. It was one of those few days in a year when California pretended to have seasons."You're shaking Christine," Celie said as I walked through the bedroom door, "Jesus calm down she's not going to hurt them."I wanted to tell her that it was the second time she attempted to take the kids, "Just go get dressed,"While Celine threw on some clothes, I made the order for the uber to take us to Lucas's parent's mansion. It was quite a journey, completely out of town and maybe it would take a few hours. Maybe before we arrived she would have taken th
The Billionaire's Nanny Threats
I sat with my back on the headboard while Aiden and Abby lay on either side of me, with their heads leaning against me as I told them as much as I could remember from one of the bedtime stories Celine and I were usually forced to sit through back at the foster home. We always found it boring and would be among the first kids to do off before she even read two lines from the story, the other kids would fall closely behind, it was that dreadful. But tonight, the kids found my old, half-complete, gap-filled story fascinating enough to listen to as I tried to lull them to sleep.After today, they needed the assuring warmth from someone they could trust and I did not mind providing just that for them.The door creaked open and Lucas's large form filled the doorway. He had gone with dad and Rob to the nearby police
The Billionaire's Nanny Forgiven
Lucas stood behind me as he ushered me into his bedroom. The right choice, since I could not trust myself to not make a run for it the moment I got the chance.I paused to take in the sight of the room. I could easily tell it was his room as a teen because well it still looked like a teenage boy's room, a few things had probably been replaced, like the bar in the corner of the room and the bed that was now much larger than what a teen's bed would look like and the expensive looking rug at the foot of the bed, but the posters of famous celebrities and a long sheet of paper hanging off the wall that said "Lucas's to-do list," made it retain the charm of teenagehood.It felt good to be in here getting even the slightest glimpse at what his life looked like as a boy. Countless trophies hung off the shelf on the w
The Billionaire's Nanny The Trip
Lucas kissed my forehead with his arms wrapped possessively around me. I lay on the mattress next to him, savoring the chance to breathe his spicy scent in after what felt like ages. Okay, it was only a few days, but I missed him anyway, terribly. And I did not realize the fact until now.Lucas missed me too, I could tell that much from the way he clung to me, unwilling to let go since we laid out our issues.A part of me screamed how wrong it was to let Lucas off so easily, and maybe I was foolish for doing so, but I was not without my faults in this. Lucas and I had been fighting longer than we had actually been dating. I was tired of the ups and downs and I was not about to toss my chance at fixing our relationship in the garbage.He would not hurt me again, I was sure of it.We had agreed though, that it was better to hold off the more intimate parts of our relationship for a while. In clearer terms, I was not ready yet to
The Billionaire's Nanny Family
"Are you still upset?" I asked Celine as we got ready to head downstairs the next morning.We had both gotten up pretty early this morning, my reason being that I could not get any sleep after our fight last night and C, probably for the same reason, or something else, I could not tell.There were only ever rare times when I and my best friend had serious disagreements like this, and it had never been over a dick. That was my cue to fix this. As much as I loved Lucas, I would never give up my relationship with my longest friend and favorite person in the universe for any reason.She did not look at me as she spoke, "Alex will be here to pick me up in an hour, you coming?" she did not answer my question directly either, and I got my answer from that.
The Billionaire's Nanny The Plan
Lucas's idea of holding Sarah for longer was to get Emma to confess Sarah's involvement with her and get them both arrested. It had been decided that the best way to have that done was to make them believe one betrayed the other. Alexander picked Chris up an hour after breakfast, after which the rest of the family spent all morning thinking of how to make Lucas's plan work. We had to come up with a way to get Sarah and Emma in the same place, where we could make a recording of their confessions.Mia finally came up with an idea that sounded like it would work.The plan was simple.Lucas would send Emma a message stating she had to come home because according to him, there would be a change of plan, the kids would be back home, so she had to cut off her time
The Billionaire's Nanny Confront
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Lucas asked for the gazillionth time."You're right here, what could possibly go wrong?" I asked, not bothering to add a million possibilities of what really could go wrong with this plan. I was already shit scared, I did not need Lucas to know that though, he would not let me go through if he got even a whiff of doubt or uncertainty from me. "besides, you are only about a few inches away, if Sarah does anything, you'll be right here for me, right?" I tilted my head to meet his eyes."You know I will," he drew me closer and smashed his lips into mine. "If she tries to attack you, do not hesitate to leave a fist on her face, it's her one weakness.""Her face is her weakness?" one of the cops in the room asked, shocked.
