ALLYSA'S POV

“I'll get back to you.” He said, ending the call as I sighed. “I was calling but you weren't responding, I think you forgot this at my place.” I said, passing his jacket to him as he smiled and mouthed a “Thank you.” to me.

“Allysa.” He called as I turned to go away so I stopped.

“Max.” I also called, turning to look at him. “I'm sorry for ignoring what you want and for putting myself first, that shouldn't be the case, I'm really sorry.” He apologized as I smiled.

“It's alright Max, really it's alright. I really have to get back to Ariel, she's not asleep so I don't want her to wail when she notices I'm not in.”

“I'll make dinner.” He said but I smiled sadly.

“I really need this time alone, thanks.” As I got to the door, his words stopped me.

“Did you hear anything when yi was conversing on the phone?” He asked as I scoffed.

    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

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.

    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.

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.

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.
