Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 103: Dawn Of A New Era
MAX POVI paced to and fro in my house, thinking of the possible ways to make sure I get back into Allysa's life and to make sure I get closer to her.I picked up my phone and paced to and fro before moving over to the door. “I have to do this now.” I muttered and opened the door before stepping out.It's been a week and we've been living like strangers with just the occasional good morning and good day, that's not the deal or else I'm in for it.As I approached her door, so many things ran through my mind. What if she overheard my conversation with Leah on that christening day? What if she knows what I'm doing secretly but decided to be discreet about it and avoid drama?Is that the reason for her sudden change in attitude? I asked myself before knocking lightly.“You can't do that!” I heard Allysa scream at Ariel as I rolled my eyes.“Coming right now, who's it?” She asked.“It's Max, may I come in?” I asked and she hesitated for a while before opening for me to come in.“Hi.” I sai
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 104: Finding Out
LEAH'S POV My phone dinged and immediately I checked, a smile covered my face. “Just what I was waiting for, exactly what I wanted.” I voiced out loudly as mom furrowed her brows.“What do you mean? What's the message about?” She asked as I stood on my feet. “I'm going on a date with Lucas and this time around his friend is not coming along I'm just so happy.”“He hasn't signed the divorce papers, you shouldn't be too happy.” She reminded as I scoffed.“Not if I persuade him to think about signing it and trust me, more photos will be sent to him, photos of Allysa acting loved up with Max, it's gonna be mind blowing, trust me on this mom.” I stepped out of my bedroom and walked down the stairs as the doorbell dinged.“See to the door,” I said to the house keeper before walking towards the kitchen.“Good day, how may I help you?” I heard the housekeeper ask.“Is Miss Charlotte around, this is for her.” “Alright, you may leave.” As the housekeeper turned to go upstairs, I stopped her.
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 105: Evidence Gotten
LEAH'S POV “I should know the lady I'd love to take as my girlfriend and intended wife, don't you think?” He asked and I smiled.I guess my mom was right about what she said, they must be suspicious about me and of course they'll try to find out everything they can from me.I needed to act fast and smart so I smiled and picked my fork up.“Ummm where do I start from? My childhood was so nice you know coming from a rich family,one whose influence on the society was vital for it's growth. I was groomed to become the perfect daughter of course I have a brother and he shoulders all the responsibilities.” The lie came out so smoothly and I was really glad about it.“You have a brother, hmm must have been nice having a younger brother, a sibling to share your pain and joy with.” I smiled, looking dreamily at the sky.“We had our differences but it was worth it, that's what siblings do, that's why we stand for each other even in trying times.” He nodded and poured more drink into my cup.
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 106: Evidence Gotten II
LUCAS POV “Now that we've gotten the evidence we need, we can have to get to her before she leaves the county, I know that'll be her next move.” Jack said, heading to the car as I stopped him.“What do you think you're doing? Leave that to the investigator to do, she's a dangerous lady trust me, we shouldn't get involved with her.” Jack sighed, raking his hand through his hair as I patted his back.“Relax and calm down, it's gonna be fine and alright nothing is gonna be wrong trust me.” A few hours later, a call came through Jack's phone and immediately he stood up.“Let's get out of here, the investigator has something to show us.”As we got out of the car, my eyes took in the environment, the serenity was top notch and so was the right security.“Good day Mr Jackson, Jack please this way.” He said, leading us in as we followed suit.“So what did you find out? I hope she__”“I think she left the country immediately after the dinner date with you.” He said as we walked into his offi
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 107: Running Away
LEAH'S POV (Flashback)I woke up on my bed, in my bedroom, confused as any other thing. “What's going on?” I asked myself, scratching my head as though the answers were gonna fall out one way or the other.I got down from the bed and paraded barefoot to the bathroom to wash my face. Suddenly, I started having flashbacks of my date from last night.“What exactly happened?” I asked myself, hitting my head lightly as I heard my door opening. “Leah, Leah.” She called but I was hell bent on recalling what happened last night.I rushed out of the bathroom, walking up to mom. “Mom, how.. how did I get to my bedroom last night? How did I get home? I don't recall driving and I also __”“You definitely didn't drive down here yourself and of course you were wasted so you do not remember anything.” Mom said as I froze.“I think I blew my cover mom I think they know who I am right now and it's really bad, mom what should I do?

ALLYSA'S POV 5 YEARS LATER“Ariel can you stop taking too long in the toilet? You only asked to wee and not to sleep in there, you don't want mummy to be late do you?” I asked, walking towards her bedroom but she suddenly jumped out of her hiding place. “Taa_daa!” She screamed as I held my chest.“Ariel, have a care, you scared me.” I said sternly.“Sorry mom, wanted to make you smile, the older kids in school plays hide and seek and it's usually very fun.” She said as I smiled.She explains things like I never went to school and it amazes me. “Is your car gonna break down again?” She asked and I laughed out loud.I got a fairly used car three years back, on Ariel's second birthday and it's been giving me issues but I've decided to keep it because it holds a lot of memories. Just then, Max walked into the house, smiling as Ariel ran up to him.“Uncle Max!” She screamed as he lifted her into his arms, kissing her cheeks and making her giggle.“Are you startling mummy?” He asked and sh

ALLYSA'S POV “What!” I screamed, gaining the attention of everyone in the boardroom as I closed my eyes. I took the phone away from my ear and mouthed a ‘sorry’ to everyone before walking up to Mr Hector.“Can I have a word with you?” I asked and of course he had a scowl on his face. “It's your first time so you're pardoned.“My daughter fainted and__”“Oh my that's really sad, go on go get her.” He said with tender emotion in his eyes. It made me wonder if he'd ever lost someone close to him or something.“I'd love to go with her.” Victor said, walking out of the boardroom. “Of course, of course. You can take the day off too.”“I'm really scared Victor, she looked so healthy and was really okay when I left her this morning so what could be the issue? What's the reason?” I asked, following him to his car.We got in and hit the road immediately. “Calm your nerves down, do not think too much about it. She'll be okay maybe you fed her with something she doesn't like or something she's a

ALLYSA“So I spoke with the doctor and he's said she has to spend some days her and she has to be under observations.” Max said, walking into the room where I sat, holding Ariel in my arms.“She's not gonna get worse, is she? Tell me she's gonna be alright.” I whispered, looking into his eyes.“We have nothing to fear about her health, she's gonna be okay.” He replied, kissing my forehead.“Have your rest, I'm gonna get some fresh air and check the bills.” As he walked out, I sighed and closed my eyes, wrapping Ariel in my arms.The next morning, I left the hospital in a haste to get a few things from the house. As soon as I stepped in, I recalled what happened the day before. How Ariel startled me, her silly questions to Max and her silly statement about my car.I walked into my bedroom and retrieved a carry bag before sliding the drawers open. I needed to get a few things for Ariel and for myself because I don't plan on leaving her side for one bit.“Her frame.” I whispered and duc

Said he had something to do at the office.” I replied.“And you're suspecting something?” Ivy asked as I sighed. “I can't help but feel that he's hiding something from me, something I ought to know.”“Oh really? Then you should ask him, be plain.” I nodded and walked back into the house.“Come on let's get you to bed, it's been a long night.” I said as I carried Ariel to bed. “Mummy am I gonna go to school tomorrow?”“Yes baby you'll go to school okay?”The next morning came really quickly as I got up from bed and walked to the bathroom to relieve my bladder. Walking out of the bathroom, I made my way towards Ariel's room and tickled her till she opened her eyes.“Come on mummy that's not fair, you're tickling me.”“Yeah, so you can get up and go to school.” Her eyes went saucer ro

You should cut me some slack.”“I can take it from here, I'll give these drugs to my daughter, and you can go on and find something to do, you're not needed here.” She scoffed and pulled the tray towards her
