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
IVY'S POVI walked into the gym, my smile in place and my charisma in check. Today I have a plan and just a little push can bring the plan into action. I walked over to the changing room after signing in and yes according to my plan, I've been stalking Lucas friend, Jack for some months now.“Hey Ivy.” My gym instructor greeted, flashing me a killer smile as I waved and smiled back.“Hi, I think I'll be getting on with my exercise on my own, I don't need a rigorous session this morning.” He smiled and walked away.“Let's start with the treadmill, then__” I stopped speaking the minute I noticed Lucas and Jack walking into the gym. “Exactly what I wanted.” I'd stalked him to the extent that I knew all his favorite restaurants, beaches, hotels, motels, favorite weightlifting machine and so many other things.I just wished Allysa was here to share all my fantasies with but she ditched me, she classified me like the others.She left without thinking if I could be of help to her,she left.A
JACk'S POV“Wait, I really don't understand what's going on here, are you smashing Ivy?” Lucas asked and I burst out laughing. I was expecting his question but this came out really hilarious.“Smashing? You really think she's a girl who'll agree to smash and just end things?” I asked and he seemed to think about it for a while before shrugging.“You see Ivy, I know she's not as decent as Allysa but think of it this way, will Allysa call Ivy her friend if she was this loosed?”“You have a point but I'll tell you this for free, that girl is trouble, big trouble and I can smell it.”“I just realized I'm addicted to trouble, let's leave it at that.”“Don't say I didn't warn you when everything goes ablaze.” I chuckled and tapped his back. “You don't have to worry about a thing, I got it all figured out.As we walked out of the gym. My mind was solely on Ivy and the game she hoped to play. I find her attractive but I never planned on making a move. She probably got tired of waiting and dec
ALLYSA'S POV “Mummy are we going home today?” Ariel asked as I placed her things in the carry bag. “Yes we're heading home, we've been here for two weeks and guess what. I stopped, turned to look at her as Max leaned against the wall.“I cannot guess mummy, will you please tell me?” Ariel asked, looking into my eyes as I sighed. “Okay so we're gonna go to a new house, entirely new place and trust me it'll be fun.”“Why are we moving mummy? Don't you like our house anymore?” She asked as I sighed. Max and I decided not to let her know about her health issues because she's too little to understand it.“Our house is very nice, let's just say we're going on a vacation, something you'll enjoy.” I replied, not bothering to look at Max because he also doesn't want me to leave.“You could invite him over, have a mutual understanding with him, an agreement so you don't have to be in the same space with him.” Max said as I sighed.“I'm gonna ask you this last time, are you after our well-being
IVY'S POV “I'm back.” I said, walking out of the kitchen, I'd undone my apron and now my shorts and tank top were in plain sight. “Come right here.” He whispered, pulling me closer to himself as I sighed, clinging into him.I don't know where this is leading to but all I know is that I wanna explore these new feelings I'm experiencing, these new found desires.“So what did you prepare? Or did you order a take out?” He asked and I chuckled. “I'm a very good cook so trust me when I say I prepared a nice meal.” I replied and got down from his hold, holding his hand and leading him to the dinning room.“Did I tell you you've got a nice house?” He asked and I chuckled. “No you haven't, you can tell me now.” I was obviously flirting and I was loving every bit of it.“You've got a very nice house.” He said and twirled me around. “Ivy I think we should talk, don't you think?” He asked as I sighed.“I really wanna avoid the part where we have to talk, I really do.” I whispered as he furrowed
LUCAS POV I watched as Jack got out of his car, his hair ruffled and a sure evidence that he got into some act with Ivy.“What are you doing waiting up right here?” He asked as I smirked. “So you've got a rough hair, glittering eyes and oops those hands must have done things.” I teased as he shrugged.“Funny enough I stopped things halfway, didn't want it to exceed the normal kissing and smooching.” He replied as I furrowed my brows.“Are you okay? Wait you're not telling me the almighty Jack stopped things halfway because he's being a gentleman.” I walked up to him in order to feel his temperature as I chuckled.“Now man this is hilarious, have you been having these feelings for my wife's best friend and I never knew about it? Cause this is totally strange.”“What's strange about it? I stopped things because I respect her, she's someone I wanna explore, know more things about her and__”“Make her yours.” I completed as he chuckled.“I'm sure this is how you felt when you finally fel
ALLYSA'S POV “Mummy are we going to the hospital now?” Ariel asked as we got into the cab. “Yeah we are and we're gonna see the doctor so you can get better, okay.”“Okay mummy.” She replied, gazing out through the window as the cab went on.We got to the hospital and hour later and as we got out of the cab, Ariel's eyes took in the building and scenes before her.“It's different from the hospital we visited the last time, I don't remember walking into the hospital, mummy can you remind me how I got to the hospital?” She asked and i sighed.“Of course, according to your teacher you were playing in the midst of your classmates and you slumped.”“What is slumped mummy?” She asked as we walked into the building, walking over to the receptionist.“You fell down, you closed your eyes and didn't know where you were anymore.” I hope I explained it better to her.“Hello, how may I help you?” The chubby receptionist asked, smiling as she placed a file on the counter top.“I'd like to get her
TIJUST FRIENDS ALLYSA'S POV I walked back into the house after Max left with my mind going through several thoughts. “Hey Allysa, where did you go off to?” Ivy asked. “Oh I was with Max, he left already. 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
SURPRISEALLYSA'S POV I walked out of the building, walking briskly to get to the cab stand when I bumped into someone, raising my head, I found Miss Charlotte staring back at me. “We meet again.” She said as I shook my head and tried walking away.“We didn't meet again, just pretend like you didn't see me.” I said and walked past her but she pulled me back and heldy hand tightly. “Where do you think you're going to?” She asked and I chuckled.“Let go of my hand this instant or you'll regret holding my hand.”“You shouldn't have come back you know, running into you again just ruined my good mood.” I sighed, shaking my head.“Worrying too much isn't good for your wrinkled face, try staying in your lane and stop poking your nose in other people's businesses, it's not nice.” “How dare you?” She raised her hand to hit me but I held it and pushed her backwards. “You shouldn't test your luck Charlotte, I'm not gonna sit back and watch you treat me like you did in the past, I've got my lif
TSUSPENSION ALLYSA'S POV I walked towards the doctors office and knocked on the door. “Come in.” I heard him say as I walked in, smiling at him. “Mrs Jackson, you must have heard from the nurses, she'll be discharged today.” He said as I smiled and nodded my head.“I'm so happy doc, so so happy that she pulled through and that she's going home in a few days.” “Not a few days, she'll be going home today, you just need to get the prescription and and then get her the drugs and she'll be fine.”“Thanks doc.” I said and walked out of the office, in search of Max. I'd left him at the entrance of the lobby but right now, I couldn't find him. “Where could he be?” I whispered, walking out of the building as I caught sight of Max talking to a lady.On a much closer look, I noticed the lady was Nora and this provoked me. “What's she doing with him?” I asked myself, still shocked to find them standing and talking together.Nora walked away suddenly, walking towards the other side of the car
NEW START ALLYSA'S POV I felt like a fulfilled woman walking out on Khloe. She had her chance with me years back but trying to amend it and make it right isn't going to change my feelings and what transpired before I left for Italy.“Thanks Mr.” I said, getting out of the cab cause these days, my brains so troubled and it really isn't a good idea to drive a car in such a time.“Good day Mrs Jackson.” The receptionist greeted as I walked into the building, the cool air from the air conditioner dried my sweat immediately, giving me that relaxing feeling.I walked into Ariel's room and found it empty as I raised my brows. “Should be with Lucas then.” I muttered under my breath and walked out, heading towards Lucas room.I pushed the door and walked in, immediately Ariel smiled, her smile reaching her eyes and I was glad about that.“Mummy.” She called as I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her. “Lucas.” I called, touching his arm. “How are you feeling?” I asked. He woke up
NOT NEEDED ALLYSA'S POV I watched as granny and Lucas mom prepared to transfer Lucas and Ariel to another hospital. They've already arranged for security. Just then, I noticed Nora walking towards Ariel's room with a tray containing drugs.The guards at the door stopped her and immediately I walked towards them. “What's going on here?” I asked as she turned to look at me. “I was about going in to give these drugs to Ariel but he wouldn't let me in.“That's because you're not needed here, I placed these security guards here for a purpose which this filthy hospital couldn't handle.” I paused and swallowed.“Besides, are you on duty? Right here?” I asked“If I wasn't on duty, I wouldn't be standing right here in the open and trying to administer drugs to a patient, I won't do that. 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
DEATH TRAPALLYSA'S POV I walked into Lucas room, watching him sleep as I wondered what had happened to warrant such running around from the doctors and staff of the hospital.Just then, the door opened and a nurse walked in. " Care to tell me what happened?" I asked."I'm not in any position to tell you anything." she replied. " Can I ask the doctor I guess he has a perfect explanation for this." I muttered lowly and walked out of the room.Getting to the doctors office I knocked and walked in. "Mrs Jackson, what brings you here?" He asked." I'd like to know what happened back there. Why were the nurses running everywhere just to make sure he's alright?" I asked."I'm sorry to say this but he got a cut in the vein and we really don't know how it happened." I felt my heart beat faster, who could have done such a thing to Lucas?"I don't understand what you're trying to say, what do you mean?" I asked."I guess he has some issues with people, I really don't know who could have done i
GOODNEWSALLYSA'S POV Ivy arrived as soon as I finished eating breakfast with a big bag slung over her shoulder and of course Jack followed suite. “Good morning Allysa, how are you doing?” He asked as I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.“As you can see, I'm doing really good and I'm happy about it.” I replied playfully, patting his arm. Just then, the doctor stepped out of Ariel's room and my eyes locked with his.“Good morning doctor, can we see her now?” I asked and he nodded, walking towards me. “Yes you can but you have to go in in twos because she doesn't need to be crowded.” He replied as I smiled and nodded.“Thanks doctor, what about Lucas? How's he?” I asked.“Still weak and recovering slowly but he's fine.” As he walked away, I turned to find granny and Lucas mom standing close to us, their face brightened up as soon as they saw me. “They're fine granny, they're doing okay.” I said, going to hug her firmly as Lucas mom joined in the hug too.“We're really happy Allysa, go
RUINED PLANS NORA POVI noticed Allysa's mood turned sour the minute I said I was on duty but what do I care? I have my plans to fulfill and a huge sum of money to receive if I do it really well, I cannot afford to fail in this plan. “Are you a nurse?” Allysa asked, walking up to me as I sighed and pulled out my ID and showed my name tag. “I'm a certified nurse,nif you doubt me we can walk__”“I have the right to decline your service on my daughter, am I right?” She asked as my heart sank. I continued to look into her eyes, not uttering any words.What does she mean by she has the right to stop me from rendering services to her daughter? “You should really let me do my job, that's not__”“I want you to leave, I'm not comfortable with my daughter and husband being around you, leave immediately.” Just then, doctor Helios walked towards us and met the scene unfolding before him.“What's going on here?” He asked as I sighed and put on a pity face.“Miss Allysa __”“She doesn't want her
LONG TIMEALLYSA'S POV “Max.” I called, trying to pull him away but granny was quick to notice something. “He's the guy from the pictures, isn't he?” She asked, walking closer to us. “What picture? Did you show them a picture of us?” Max asked and there I remembered I didn't tell Max about the pictures.“Our pictures were sent to Lucas on two occasions, I guess they wanted to cause a rift between Lucas and I.”“There's a rift already, didn't you say you were getting a divorce?” He asked as I sighed.“Well granny, he was my boyfriend for a couple of weeks and then it ended, I guess I realized I couldn't keep a man despite what Lucas did, it didn't feel right.” She smiled and held my hand. “I'll never judge you for anything concerning your relationship. You're getting a divorce very soon and it's normal to get into a relationship, it's really normal.”“Yes Allysa, it's normal to be in a relationship, you'll be divorced soon. And trust me, we'll support you in whatever you choose to do.
