FINALLY LUCAS POV “Yeah man, I just got out of the hospital with Allysa and Ariel, were currently at Jones park because Ariel wanted to go there.” I said into the phone as I watched Ariel ride on the merry go round while Allysa watched her from where she sat.“Hello Mr, get some for your kids.” A young boy said, holding cotton candy. “Sure lad.” I said, deeping my hand in my pocket to give him some cash.“Hey man it's seems you're busy, we should talk when you get to the office.” Jack said and ended the call. 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. Of all days, he chose to come today?“I'll be right there.” I said and thank the stars that Allysa was with me.“The attorn
A THREAT ALLYSA'S A knock resounded on my door and immediately I walked over to open it. Ivy stood with a broad smile covering her face, her smile was contagious. “Hey girlfriend, how are you doing?” She asked, wrapping me in a hug as Ariel rushed over to break our hug, jumping into Ivy's arms.“Now I'm really jealous, how can she just snatch you away from me and you didn't bother to do anything about it, that's not fair.” I said jokingly as Ivy walked to the sitting room.“Guess what Ariel, I have a nice present for you, lots of dolls, chocolates and short breads you should check them out.” She said and immediately Ariel took them and walked into the bedroom.“So you promised to explain your relationship with Jack and how it came about, I'm really surprised you have a thing going on with him.” Ivy chuckled.“Well, I've been having this sweet feelings concerning Jack for some months now but on this particular day, we went to the gym and as soon as he walked to the restroom, I follow
OUR PAST ALLYSA'S POV I knocked on the door the second time and Max opened the door with a mischievous smile on his face. “Thanks Max.” I said and watched as Ariel walked towards me.“Mummy, Dad is here.” She said as I froze. “Really?”“Yeah and it seems your ex husband doesn't want me here, he doesn't feel comfortable with you leaving Ariel with me, maybe you should school him on who I really am?” I shook my head and turned to look at Ivy.“Can you take her in? Please I need to have this discussion.” I said to Ivy. Ivy took Ariel in and I turned to stare at the men before me. “What's your point Lucas? What exactly are you talking about?” I asked, folding my hands under my breasts.“Quit leaving Ariel around strangers, that's it.” I chuckled and shook my head. “Did you just call Max a stranger? I hate to say this but you have no right to choose who I keep as my friends just the way I have no right over you, it's absurd.” I spat.“Max come with me please.” I turned and walked out of
FATHER DAUGHTER DUOALLYSA'S POV Morning came too soon for me but I was as energetic as ever. I'd placed a call to the fashion agency and they asked me to come over today. I remembered the last time I went there, I'd seen Miss Charlotte and I left in a hurry, not bothering to continue or start what I came for.I got out of bed and walked over to Ariel's bedroom, pulling the duvet away as she groaned. “But mummy it's not morning yet.” She complained, twisting her body on the bed with a frown creasing her brows.“You shouldn't frown at mummy, you know that right?” I asked, shaking her vigorously as she sat up, yawning. Her pink little lips in a tight pout threw me over the edge as I burst out laughing.“You wanna sleep? Mummy has a big day today so I'm gonna drop you off at your granny's place.” She didn't seem to be listening to what I was saying because the next moment, she was playing with the doll Ivy got her the day before.“It's rude to ignore mummy, you should say something.” I
PAINSLUCAS POV I watched as Allysa got into the car with Max, her expression as calm as anything. She wasn't even bothered about me or my presence and I found it disturbing. I drove Ariel away and down to the mall.My mood was already sour but Ariel's face and presence made everything right. “So who's uncle Max?” I asked. At least I heard little kids rarely lie except they're scared, in that case it is normal for them to lie.“Mummy's friend.” She replied innocently as we sat in a restaurant facing the mall. The owner of the restaurant must be the owner of the mall because it was so close to each other.“Yeah I know he's mummy's friend, what other name can you call him?” “Uncle Max of course, he comes to my school and he buys a lot of toys for me.” I chuckled. What was I expecting when I asked that question? She's just a kid and hasn't gotten that ability to know what's going on around her, who's good and who's bad.“My princess, eat up quickly we've got a place to be right now.” I
A LONG DAYLEAH'S POV “By the end of next month, our plan should be active and done. I wanna get out of here as soon as possible.” Max said as I chuckled. “Everyone wants a break but we've got a job and we ain't going anywhere till we're done.“Of course you're the boss.” He said with a roll of his eyes.“So__” just then, my phone rang and a smile covered my face. This morning, Max had gone to Allysa's place on purpose to know what she's up to and she seemed to trust him more than ever.I picked the phone and placed it on my ear. “Speak.” I ordered.“It's me Nora, everything is going as planned already, I didn't need to do much work.” She said as I furrowed my brows. “What do you mean?”“The little girl fainted and she's currently in the hospital waiting for the transfusion to be done.” “Good. I don't care how you wanna do it, that child must not make it out of that place alive. Allysa must know what pain feels like.” I heard Max laugh out but I wasn't in the mood to banter with him
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.
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
