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.

A boy or a girl?” She asked.“A girl, my princess.” She smiled and led me deeper into the mall as we fished out toys, dolls from their stand. “She's going to love this, trust me.”“Thanks for your time.” I gave her my credit card and after the payment, I walked out and headed to my car.Following the address, I drove into the wide road leading to Allysa's house.I drove through the driveway and got down from the car, my heart in my mouth.

You haven't seen me in a while.” He had a smile on his face and I know Lucas was just pretending not to notice what was happening before him.

By the time I walked back in, Lucas was talking to Ariel and I wondered what they were talking about because Ariel had a huge grin on her face.“Ariel it's time to go home, unfortunately we didn't come along with your drugs so we have to leave right now before it becomes too late.”“Can't we spend the night here?” She asked, pouting her lips but I had to look away.

LITTLE PRINCESS LUCAS POV As I walked out of the house, I got into my car and sat for a while, wondering why I pulled her back. She must have been confused by my action cause I'm also confused. Why did I do that?I finally drove away from the house, heading back home. Everyone wanted our marriage to work but I really don't know what to think. Seeing those pictures and their cozy positions?I sighed and hit the steering wheel lightly.The next morning, I didn't need an alarm to wake me up, I jerked out of bed, staring at the table clock as a sigh escaped my lips.I wasn't late for Ariel's appointment. I got out of bed, quickly freshened up and dashed out of my bedroom. “Good morning granny.” I said, grabbing an apple from the breakfast table as she looked at me skeptically.“Heading somewhere? And so early?”“Ariel has her appointment with the doctor today besides I have to prepare myself for the surgery, it's next week.” I replied as she touched my cheek.“I just wish you both happi

Each of the children there had an illness to contend with and it's a sad thing to see.“Ariel? Come on we can't keep daddy waiting.” I said as she got up immediately, waving at the other kids. “You'll see them again, alright?” She bobbed her head and followed me out.“So what story did you listen to? What was it about?” I asked as we made our way to Lucas room.“About a princess who had the voice of an angel.” She said as I smiled. “Just like my baby Ariel, you have the voice of an angel. “Really?

I held the cotton candy and was about walking back to meet Allysa and Ariel when my phone rang again.This time it was my secretary. I picked and placed it close to my ear. “It better be important Elle, clearly told you not to call me today.” I said into the phone.“Yes sir, but attorney Helios is here and he needs to speak with you.” She said as I sighed.
