LUCAS POV

As I drove in the car, I was so glad that I was able to stop Jack from coming with me, I really wanted an alone time with Allysa, get to know how life has been with her and how she survived all these years.

“Good day, miss, what can I get for a five year old?” I asked, looking around as she smiled. “You can get toys but that depends on the gender of your child. 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. What if she doesn't like me? What if__ my hand knocked on the door bef
