Last night was a huge disaster. I was all over the tabloids and magazines and my aunts' didn't take that very well. My god father was very furious and he called me to his house to 'talk’. I have to go by his place In the evening and I am nervous. Right now I am in the kitchen making cake for Emma and Evan.
"Mommy?" I heard Evan's voice.
"In here." I called out to him. He walked into the kitchen and wrapped his little arms around my legs and immediately a smile formed on my lips. "Mommy, I saw you on television today. You were with daddy." My smile disappeared and I nodded mutely. I picked him up and made him sit on the counter. "I want to meet daddy. I miss him." He added and my heart clenched.
"Okay." I said, with no emotions.
"Call him. We should all have dinner together." He begged.
"No. H-he's busy." I lied.
"Please mommy. Even Emma wants to have dinner with him." He continued to beg.
"No Evan." I said sternly. "Go call Emma. Cake is ready." I added. He sighed and I helped him get off the counter. He walked out of the kitchen and both of them came back after a few minutes.
I cut the cake into pieces and served them each a piece. They both picked their forks and started to eat, silently.
"How is it?" I asked. They both gave me a nod and remained quiet. I sighed. “Guys, your dad is busy. I can't do anything about it." I tried to make them understand.
"We can at least try. Please call him." Emma said and I sighed. I couldn't say no to them anymore. I picked up my phone from the counter and dialed the number Damon gave me. The phone rings and he picks it up at the fourth ring.
"Lucia?" He called, his voice full of surprise. I shifted the phone to Emma and she took it from me and started speaking.
"Hello Mr. Damon?...... I'm good. Miss you." She said into the phone and listened to what Damon had to say, smiling as he finished his sentence. What is he talking about? "Can you come home, please?" She begged and frowned hearing his answer. "But-..OKay. Bye." She sighed and handed the phone back to me
"What happened? Is he coming?" Evan asks excitedly.
"No." Emma says with tears in her eyes. "He's busy.” She added. She started to cry and I wrapped my arms around her.
"Shh, baby. It's okay. He'll come later. Don't cry." I tried to calm her. Damon Walter! You bastard! How dare you make my daughter cry! I cursed at him in my mind. How dare he!
"How about we go to grandma's house and you can play with them?" I asked, and immediately, their eyes lit up with happiness and excitement and they squealed.
"Let's get you ready then!" I said and they finished their cake before we got ready and left for my parents' house.
When we arrived at my parent's, Dad was mad and demanded what the news about Damon and I was all about.
I explained to my foster dad and mentor the whole situation and he was very angry like any father would be. I tried to calm him down but nothing was working.
"Please, I am doing this for my kids just the way you would do for me." I explained to him and after a few seconds, he let out a sigh of frustration.
"I want to talk to him." He suddenly declared.
"I won't mind if you punch him." I smirked and he laughed. Huff.
"I just hope you don't get hurt again. I hate seeing you suffer." He said and wrapped his arms around me. I laid my head on his chest and hugged him. "I love you so much, sweetie. I can't imagine you being hurt once again.” He said and kissed the top of my head. Tears Pricked in my eyes but I fought them back.
Mr. Shaul had taken over the fatherly place in my life.
"Thanks for always being there for me." I thanked him. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. I would have been dead from depression or something else.
"Lucia!" I heard his wife call and I pulled away from his embrace at once. I looked at him, his brows were furrowed, showing confusion. We both made our ways out of his study and into the living room. Surprisingly, Emma and Evan were not in the room and my mom was watching the tv.
“What's wrong?" I asked, sitting next to her on the couch. She pointed to the television and I turned to look at it.
Damon Walter is seen with a mystery girl!
"As we all know the heart-throb announced his engagement yesterday with his ex wife and ex nanny, Lucia Stones but that doesn't seem to last long. He was seen with a mystery girl at a club and ‘they were more than touches, source says. What happens to his fiance, are they done once again?
The CEO of The Naval Ports. inc isn't able to decide who he wants to be with.
Damon divorced Lucia five years ago and he was engaged to her a couple of days back, again. But then, He's seen with another girl the very next day! Sources also say that the woman is none other than Celine Williams, the beautiful daughter of Henry Williams. Will the almighty Damon Walter ever be able to make up his mind? The news reporter rounded up his news with a cliffhanger.
"What the hell!" Mr Shaul exclaimed.
"Honey, what's this?" Mrs. Shaul turned to me.
“What do you mean what's this?" I asked, my voice Horace as I tried to keep myself from crying. "He'll never change and I don't care who he's with." I said, which was not a lie.
"You're not getting married to him for the second time, Lucia and that's final." Mr. Shaul declared and I sighed.
"Let's see what happens.” I said. I called the kids and they hurried out of the kitchen with chocolates in their hands. "It's time to go. Say bye to grandma and grandpa." I urged them. After goodbyes were said, we three made our way out and I buckled them up before climbing into the driver's seat. I ignited the engine and drove my way home. On the way back, my mind was full of thoughts.
I am not at all upset that he's out with someone else. Liar!
Okay, maybe a little upset but, fuck! How can he do this? He ditched his kids to go out with a woman but says words like ‘you are all that matters to me’. Bastard!
Too much of cursing but I can't contain my fury. A good nanny doesn't curse...
Well I'm not a nanny any longer. I'm just a broken wife to my ex ward.
Emma and Evan were so desperate to spend time with their dad like all the other kids but their dad has other things in mind. My poor kids! Like an unexpected thunderstorm, a sudden realization struck me.
Celine williams!
She was the same girl Damon had brought home the day he had sent me parking.
