Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 122: Pain
ALLYSA'S POV “Is Ariel asleep or playing dolls, the house is oddly quiet.” I asked and Ivy chuckled. “She's sleeping so peacefully you could pick her up and toss her in a huge river she'd still be so engrossed in her sleep.”We both walked over to the living room as I sighed, taking her hands in mine. “I saw Lucas today, I __” “You saw Lucas? How, how did you do it?” She asked.“Everything is settled or__”“Don't you remember telling me to come back home?” I asked and she sighed. “I thought you already spoke with him since you already arrived there.”“I saw him from a distance and I must confess, I felt like a teenager all over again. I felt the love wash through me as I looked at him. He looked so handsome, sweet __”“You should go over and hug him if that's what you want.” She teased and I hit her playfully on her arm.“But you know it's normal to feel this way, to feel like your heart is gonna explode and that you wanna be buried in him but I'll tell you something Allysa, treat h
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 123 : In Pain
LUCAS POV “You should stop drinking Lucas, this shouldn't affect your meeting tonight. That meeting is really important and trust me you wouldn't wanna let your parents down.” I sighed, smiling but picked the bottle again and was about taking it to my lips when he smashed it on the floor.“Come on, let's get you into the bathroom and you'll probably be sober after that.” He lifted me up and pulled me roughly to the bathroom and turned the shower on. Just then, his phone rang and he left me to pick his phone.“Lucas, it's the investigator, do I put it on speaker?” He asked and I closed my eyes.“Yeah sure.” I said, knowing fully well I might be shattered if I hear what the investigator has to say. “Come on let me know.”“According to the address you sent, the resident happens to be Allysa Carter Jackson.” Tears rolled down my cheeks as I sank to the bathroom floor.“What?” I heard Jack mutter, I know he must be surprised but funny enough, I wasn't surprised, not even the tiniest bit.
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 124: Painful Words
LUCAS POV “Allysa.” I called, standing on my feet as she walked closer to the table. My eyes took in her every curve, the luscious lips I've grown to miss, her sparkling orbs and her pretty smile.“Lucas.” She called and then I remembered I was supposed to meet with an investor so why's she here?“Are you the investor?” I asked and before she could speak, I continued. “Have you come to check how I'm coping after sending me those pictures? To see the anguish, frustration on my face?” I asked.She looked shocked but I've mingled with several women to know they can mask their feelings, they can make you think they're so innocent and you'll believe them without a doubt and then they'll make you regret believing them. I staggered, my vision going in circles but I was determined to get to the bottom of this. I walked over to her and pushed her but she quickly held the table for support.“You came all the way from your residence just to see how pathetic I am? How I'm coping after your cozy
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 125: Pathetic
LUCAS POV As I walked out of the restaurant, my heart felt so heavy that I couldn't think straight. My heart clenched so tightly in my chest as I groaned. I picked my phone and dialed Jack's line.“Hey dude, come on. Come pick me up, I'm so wasted.” I said into the phone and heard him sigh.“Stay right there, I'll pick you up, do not try to drive. I can already smell the alcohol from here.” I smiled despite knowing he was just being sarcastic. Jack was truly a friend indeed.I sat down, thinking of what went down in there. Did she really think I was stupid not to know she sent those? Women!She even had the guts to pretend not to know what's happening, asking what pictures and all. Well I'm gonna sign those damn papers and she'll be a free woman since that's what she wants.I thought I could persuade her to forgive me when we eventually meet again because I didn't give up, I didn't lose hope, I always knew she'd come back but this way? It's really painful, so painful.Soon, I saw Jac
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 126: It Hurts
ALLYSA'S POV I picked myself from the floor, the words of the ladies kept coming back to my head as I sighed. “Why can't life just be fair?” Why? I whispered and walked on wobbly legs out of the restaurant.In no time, I saw Ivy's car making an entrance and I was glad about that. She stopped in front of me and got down immediately, enveloping me in a tight hug.“From your voice, I could tell you weren't happy and that something had happened.” She paused, wiping my face with her towel.“What happened?” She asked as I sighed.“It's really terrible Ivy, he didn't even want to hear what I had to say, he said I sent some pictures but I really don't know what he's talking about.”“A picture, sorry pictures?” She asked and I nodded. Lucas words came back to my head.*RECALLS*“You came all the way from your residence just to see how pathetic I am? How I'm coping after your cozy pictures were sent to me? You have nothing to fear, I'm coping just the way you expected. I'm miserable, more than
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 127: Beginning Of Torment
BEGINNING OF TORMENT ALLYSA'S POV Ivy slid the key into the keyhole gently, trying to ensure Ariel doesn't wake up or gets startled. “Come on, you need to have a cool bath to shake the events of tonight off.”I followed her like a ram being led to the slaughter. “He's gonna tell everyone I'm back but the main reason I'm back hasn't been attended to, my daughter is dying.” I whispered.“Come on Allysa you cannot keep on thinking about this, it's gonna give you a headache and you don't wanna fall sick, do you?” She asked as I sighed.“I cannot help thinking Ivy, I just can't.” “Let's do this, why don't you go to bed, sleep and pretend like nothing happened. Tomorrow you can call your parents or go over to see them so this issue can be sorted out once and for all.I smiled and kissed her cheek before walking into her bathroom.After bathing, she had her bath and joined me in bed while Ariel slept on the little bed close to ours. “Just don't overthink, you never know what tomorrow will
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 128: Clueless
CLUELESS LUCAS POV “Ariel Jackson?” My eyes dilated as mom walked over to me. “What's wrong Lucas, why are your eyes so wide? Did you see a ghost?” She asked, taking the file from me.“I didn't see a ghost but this name doesn't sound familiar apart from the fact that it has my last name, Jackson.”“Jackson?” Granny asked.“Yes, Ariel Jackson.” I replied as granny and mom stared at each other. “Did you blow up the opportunity of knowing you have a child? Just because of anger?” Mom asked as I furrowed my brows.“What are you talking about?” Dad finally asked as I shrugged.“Dad you should really ask them.”“Men are so clueless, it's such a pity we can easily tell a lie and the truth apart. We all know Allysa's name so who else would bear Ariel and add a Jackson to it?” Mom asked.“According to him, she had something to tell him but he didn't listen because he was angry. She should be the one angry, you're lucky she let you see her again.”“Are you trying to say she did the right thin
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 129: The Search
THE SEARCHALLYSA'S POV “Mum?” I called but she didn't seem to be listening, she was carried away by her anger and I couldn't blame her for that.“Allysa, we're gonna head over to the Jackson's, I don't care what business your father has with them, I don't care what he's benefiting from them but trust me we're calling this marriage off and you're keeping your daughter!” I hugged her, her chin resting on my head as I sighed.“Getting a divorce is not always the best you know,” I paused and she moved away a little to stare at me. “You still love Lucas?” She asked.“I admit I must have been really angry, I signed the divorce papers and left it for him to sign. A part of me wanted him to sign and another part wished his love for me would be greater than anything, I really hoped he won't sign it and when I didn't receive the papers, I was so happy, my attorney told me he didn't get the papers so I was really glad.”“So what do you plan on doing?” She asked.“If he wants the divorce, I'll

Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 155: Just Friends
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 154: Surprise
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 153: Suspension
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 152: New Start
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 151: Not Needed
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 150: Death Trap
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 149: Goodnews
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 148: Ruined Plans
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.

Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 147: Long Time
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.
