Nanny For The Billionaire’s Son

CHAPTER SEVEN

PAIN WITHIN

~LEXA WYETT~

At that moment my heart stopped, I could feel the tears gathering in my eyes but I held it in, today was not going well.

Alexander had stopped talking also, his hand ran through his hair in disarray, his eyes now ice cold.

“Call the doctor, tell him his services are needed,” Alexander told the maid, who left to do so.

Trying to avoid eye contact, he gave me a hard look before switching them back to Ace, who now sat quite on the couch, staring at his bruised knee.

He could have saved me the embarrassment and scolding if he had behaved that way in the first place, how had he gotten hurt in the first place?

“Ace, what happened, how did you get hurt” Alexander asked him.

I raised to stare at Alex, was he perhaps reading my mind, someone with sense is finally asking the right questions, I felt like kissing him right now.

Ace pouted, murmuring words only he could understand as I strain my ears to at least get one word but nothing.

“Ace”

Alexander called out to his son, whose eyes were now fixed on his father.

He was a copy of Alexander those blue eyes. His was calmer and cute. But Alex's eyes were cold and alluring.

“What did I say about speaking up,” he asked asserting authority.

“We should be louder and bolder,” Ace said, his eyes staring at his shoe.

“Now, how did you get hurt”

We all waited for his response which seemed to be taking longer than ever, I was already exhausted and I needed to get to bed on time today. If I still have a job here.

“I needed some ice cream, so..so. I went to the kitchen, and pulled the stool over to the fridge to get some..” he explained.

I arched a brow at his words, he got hurt because of ice cream which I had warned him not to take.

Mrs Nadine's laughter filled the room as she walked to where Ace sat, “Kids will be kids, getting bruises is usually normal, I remember when Alex and Grant always loved fighting over certain things” she spoke hoping to calm down Alexander Who doesn't seem please with Ace action.

I never knew he had a younger brother, I wonder what this Grant guy looks like, will he be cold like him? Well now is not the time for me to be worrying about unnecessary things but myself.

“Miss Wyett, you could look after Ace till the doctor gets here and tend over his bruises”

Alexander spoke, his voice now a bit calm, as he brushed past me, his cologne filled my nose, and his hand slightly grazed mine, and I froze.

My thoughts go back to that night, that fateful night I met him, his kiss, his touch.

“Lexa”

He called out my name bringing me back to reality, I turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak. “Once the doctor is done with Ace's treatment, see me in my office, understood.”

I shook my head, Alexander snapped at me. “I expect you to understand me by now Lexa, when am talking to you, I expect words not you shaking your head like a lizard.”

“Am sorry sir,”

Could he just stop treating me like a child, am trying to hold back tears that just wouldn't stop trying to break out.

He said nothing, before turning his back to me, and walking away, his figure disappearing out of sight.

I walked towards where Ace sat, I knelt in front of him, brushing my hand over his hair, but he brushed it off, folding his little arms in protest.

“Why are you angry?” I asked him.

“I was scolded because of you,” he said.

This little brat, what the hell was he saying, I should be the angry one here, I was slapped, Insulted, and scolded not once by twice by his papa, who I can't get off my head.

“Oh you poor thing” Mrs. Nadine, hugged him, patting his back as she placed kisses on his cheeks.

I rolled my eyes at their little scene, I grabbed Ace's hand, taking him to the backyard for some fresh air, today had been tense, and I needed a break.

Mrs Nadine excused herself as she received a phone call, walking upstairs she ignored us.

Sitting in the garden, we waited patiently for the doctor's arrival, Which he eventually arrived, I couldn't help but be grateful.

My phone kept beeping with nonstop texts, it was obvious it was from my dad, I had sent him the money but I couldn't leave Ace and the doctor alone, I might get into another trouble.

And I can't afford that, I have already been summoned to his office, and am sure I will be getting fired.

“Now let me take a look at that bruise”

The doctor spoke softly as he lifted Ace's leg gently, Studying the bruise on his knee. His eyes shifted from Ace's leg to me.

“You must be the new nanny, I guess Eve was replaced quickly,” he said.

Eve? I guess that must be Ace's previous nanny who was caught with drugs. I guess I will be remembered as one soon.

“She must be an impressive person to remember her” I spoke in a friendly manner, hoping to smile and conceal my pain.

The doctor said nothing, he was young, he must be living the dream, It wasn't easy becoming what you study here in Florida. The competition to make it is very high leaving people fighting for more.

“She was a shithead, too invested in drugs,” he said but paused staring at Ace whose eyes were now fixed on him.

“Now Ace, this is going to sting a little so just bear it a little okay, you are a brave boy aren't you”

Ace nodded, “Yes, I am”

The doctor applied it and Ace flinched, his little hand balled into fists, he tried holding it but burst into tears after so many attempts.

My phone chimed again, and I brought it out of my scrub pocket, staring at the content, My father never ceases to ruin my day.

I remember how he would get so drunk and come to my school just to show everyone how much of a good-for-nothing drunk he was.

I cried so much and hid my face just to avoid being teased and bullied by my classmate, my mom would say he wasn't a bad person but just someone who was lost.

How much lost can this man be, he wasn't lost, he was just a piece of s**t, and it took me my whole life with him to realize that.

“Still waiting for my money, Your mom already keeps getting on my nerves, if you don't want her in the hospital better hurry up” he threatened through text.

Did he just threaten me with his wife, my mom, I bit my lower lips as Ace's tears brought me back to the present, I felt like crying also.

I went to where Ace was, My arms wrapped around him as I hugged him tight before bursting out in tears also.

Crying my eyes out, I called out to my mom, sniffing as the doctor stood there staring at both Ace and I. Mrs Nadine walked into the scene her eyes darting back and forth from Ace to myself.

“What's going on? Did something happen perhaps” she asked the doctor, who gave her a small smile before arranging his bag.

“You keep showing your stupidity, Lexa, how could you cry in front of a child, where did Alexander say he got you from, they should let your company know how bad you are at your job”

“Am sorry” Lexa apologize.

But she ignored me and my apologies, she went over to where Ace sat comforting him. “Aren't you a bit young to be a doctor, how old are you?” she asked the doctor.

“27” The doctor answered.

“That's young, you know one of my nephews is also a doctor, I always like men in humans, I think they are more sophisticated and tempting.”

“Oh my God” I murmured feeling embarrassed for her, is she just trying to flirt with him, how embarrassing.

“I don't think you are my type ma’am” the doctor responded, I could see he was getting tired of her stupid questions and attempts, I wanted to help out but I also wanted to avoid dealing with her nagging.

“What do you mean am not your type, I heard doctors like and prefer older women”

I arched a brow at her statement, for Christ's sake she should just stop. I don't want to laugh but if she dare say one more word, I might lose it.

“It still stings”

Ace cried out, bringing my attention to him, I knelt on one knee checking out his leg.

“It will get better” I managed to say. Standing up and I shifted my attention to Mrs. Nadine who was already getting pissed at Whatever the doctor told him.

Before I could answer, Alaxander's voice called from the balcony.

“Lexa, My office now….”
