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 130: A Divorce
A DIVORCE LUCASJack and I jogged down the stairs, taking them in twos as we headed to the door but granny's next words stopped us.“Thought you weren't going out, aren't you livid?” She asked and Jack chuckled. “Of course he is granny but we have to head somewhere really important, you'll know when we get back.” Jack replied and I was grateful for that.I'm not sure I could reply granny. Anything I say, she always supports Allysa, it's just as if I'm her in law and Allysa is her granddaughter.Jack and I walked out and got into his car,of course he didn't let me drive, claiming I could take lives in the state which I am.“So what are you gonna tell her when you get to her place?” Jack asked.“Why she never informed me she was pregnant, why she kept my child away for so many years, why she kept me in the dark. I need answers to all these and I'm gonna get them, trust me.”“Then she came over, wanting to introduce you to your daughter, wanting to tell you your daughter was diagnosed w
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 131: Right Or Wrong Decision
RIGHT OR WRONG DECISION ALLYSA'S POV I sat nestled in between my mom and dad as we rode in quietness, the cool evening breeze touching my skin from the opened windows. Mom prefers natural air to the one from air conditioners or fan.It feels really good that my parents were supporting me right now, just what I wanted and I hope we're gonna make the right decision when we get there. Mom turned to stare at me, her hands enveloping mine in reassurance as I smiled. “I know you're nervous, do not worry we're gonna get to the bottom of everything and Ariel will be okay, she'll live a healthy life and our lives will go on, don't you like it?” She asked as I sighed.“It's great mom, let's just get on with it.” As our car drove into the Jackson's compound my heart began to beat rapidly.“Get a hold on yourself Allysa, I'll do the talking just sit back and relax.” Mom said, rubbing my arms gently. The door was opened by Benny and immediately we hugged each other.“Oh my ma'am Allysa, it's b
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 132: Unbelievable
UNBELIEVABLEALLYSA'S POV “I want a divorce.” I heard Lucas say as fear gripped me. My heart shattered before my eyes and in no time, I was wailing. Mom held me to herself, whispering soothing words as Lucas sighed.“It's funny how you pretend in front of everyone but you know what? You cannot fool me, I refused to be fooled. You'll receive the papers tomorrow and as for Ariel I don't intend on fighting for custody, I cannot hurt you in that manner, she deserves to be with her mother at all times, we should meet up to discuss my meeting arrangements with Ariel, I'd love that.” He stood on his feet and walked away as I fell into the arms of my mom.“He's gonna give me a divorce, mom, he's __” I whispered as granny moved towards us.“You must really love him Allysa but what about the pictures? According to him they were sent from your address so what exactly is going on?”“I don't know granny, I didn't send it, I arrived in the states some days back and that's the first time I stepped

SURPRISE CALL lLUCAS POVThe next morning came too soon for me as I tried not to recall what happened. I didn't want anything bothering me right now so I walked into the bathroom to freshen up.As I walked out of the bathroom, a knock came through the door and I threw a robe on before walking to the door and turning the knob. “Lucas, can I come in?” Mom asked, shaking her head slightly as I sighed and made way for her to walk in.I knew what she wanted to say, she'd probably talk to me about Allysa and our divorce but my mind was already made.“So you're gonna see your daughter today?” She asked and I paused for a while before nodding. “Yeah, I'll be seeing my daughter today and we'll finalize the divorce today.”“You're really pushing through with it? Don't you think you should give her a break? Do you really think she'd do such a thing to you?”“I agree I cheated but did anyone ever think to know if I did it out of clear eyes and conscience?”“Lucas! Did you even love her? When you
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 134: You Really Don't Care
YOU REALLY DON'T CAREALLYSA'S POV “Max.” I called as my heart began to race. I took the phone away from my ear and stared at the number, it wasn't a foreign number and it means one thing.Max is in the states. My eyes went saucer round. “Allysa, how have you been? How's my little princess doing?” He asked as I sighed.“She's doing okay, you're not in Italy.” I said and he laughed out.“You're smart, one of the reasons I like you and fell for you. I got into the states last night, currently staying at a glamorous hotel, where__”“Why did you come to the states?” I asked as my palms became sweaty. If Lucas sees Max, his accusations will become a reality. I need to find a way to make him leave the states.“You don't sound happy to hear from me, what's wrong Allysa? Ah! I totally forgot how's Ariel's treatment coming along?” “Pretty good, thanks but you haven't answered my question. Why are you here?”“Oh, I got a transfer letter from the company, I was asked to choose the country of m

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
