Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 1 : Hangout
Alyssa's POV The colored lights, the waitresses were dressed skimpily with glowing trays of drinks and the live stage, where the dj was mixing a recorded song, I kept looking around as I felt like a fish out of the water. "Someone is not liking the vibe, huh?" Came the teasing tone of Eve, one of my friends. "It's not that, I mean," I said, biting my lips to gather my thoughts, "It's just too lousy. If not for Ivy, I wouldn't have agreed to come here," I informed. "Sweetie, it's just a little celebration after our graduation. Ain't you happy to be a graduate?" Atlas, Eve's boyfriend, asked me. "Of course, I am," I said with a small smile as I kept rubbing my arms together. "My baby is still a newbie. Just a little push then she would get used to this lifestyle," Ivy, my best friend, said as she filled my glass with some liquor. I rolled my eyes at her, we are totally opposite in personality but I still love her. "Let's play a game," Jeremy, one of our friends, said as he cl

Jack poured some for all of us present there.I raised my glass, "To the latest CEO in town," I swooned and we clicked our glasses.“To success, more wins, more contracts and prosperity,” Jack proclaimed and we all clicked our glasses with his."Cheers bro," he said to me and we clicked our glasses. At 24, the birthday gift I received from my grandmother was giving me the CEO's position, my greatest desire since when I was a kid."DJ playing some fvcking music!" I yelled and everyone started dancing, same as me.

Author's POV The Next Day.An old lady, seated on the fluffy couch, grinned mischievously as she looked through the photos on the tablet. A man dressed in black, stood professionally opposite to her as he bowed slightly, patiently waiting for the old lady to check through the photos he had snapped."Hmm, he even held her wrist," she commented, her face lit up with an ecstatic smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement."Did he notice you when you took this photo?" She asked in a stern tone. Despite her age, she held an aura of submission and elegance that made one bow at the sight of her."I think he does, Madam," the man responded with his head still bowed."Okay, but that means you will have to start working for me. Lucas would never trust you anymore," she explained and the man nodded.He was pained to hear the bitter truth, but the old Madam deserve his loyalty more. "Her details," she ordered as she stretched her hand. The man passed her a folder, and she collected it.She waved

Alyssa's POV "What?!" I screamed as the spoon fell on the saucer, further creating some noise in the dining room."But, Dad, you can't be serious, right?" I asked as I glanced at my Mum for some help.She looked hesitant, "Uhm.. honey, don't you think it's a bit too early?" She asked my Dad, who casually took a bite from his meal."The offer was tempting, so I couldn't refuse it. Plus, an arranged marriage isn't as bad as I had said it. I got into an arranged marriage with your mother, and we are good. So, go dress up and meet with him. I specifically asked for this date, so that you guys won't be strangers to each other at the wedding," he explained in a relaxed tone."Wedding, Dad? You didn't even ask for my permission before you accepted that offer. Is it your company you cared about or your only daughter?! I demanded as I banged the table.His face changed to fury but I cared less, "This is my future that you are toying with!" I yelled as I could feel my tears.When he talks in a

Alyssa's POV I walked down the aisle with my father, the guests rose to their feet as their gaze fixed on me. I looked down immediately, the scene was overwhelming."Raise your head," my father said beside me but I didn't answer him. I felt like hissing loudly."Alyssa, raise your head," he said through his gritted teeth but I still refused to obey him. He stylishly used his index finger to raise my head, to which I turned away from.His grip around my wrist tightened, "I promise to scream, if you don't loosen up your grip, Dad," I threatened as I raised my head a little."Look at your groom," he said beside me as his grip loosened a bit. It just crossed my mind to look at that rascal.I can't believe he could even flirt with me openly even with the predicament we were in. He seems to know I was the one coming because he wasn't as shocked as I was the other day. It made me wonder if he approached me intentionally or not. But, I will go with the latter, the way he spoke shows he was

Alyssa's POVWe are currently in the car, I threw my head backward in exhaustion. I can't wait to get out of this car, this douchebag was making me feel suffocated.“I guess I have to talk about it now, there will be no more interruption. What was that stunt you pulled out there?” I heard Lucas asking beside me.He was referring to why I pushed him when he was about to kiss me at the altar. Just like I told myself earlier, ignore him.I did just that. I was missing my Mum already and this marriage thing is still a shock to me. Any unnecessary things that could worsen my mood further, I just have to avoid it.“I am talking to you,” he said but I didn't act as if I heard him. My eyes were closed but he knew I wasn't sleeping. It was late in the evening already and I wonder why we haven't arrived at the house his Granny gave to us.“Don't you dare act dumb in front of me shorty,” he gritted his teeth and I felt him yank my wrists, forcing me to open my eyes.“Answer my question ASAP!

Lucas’ POVShe looks so cute when she is angry. I couldn't help but shake my head, I saw her pointing her index finger at me but my mind was far away from her.All my thoughts were clouded around having her tonight. After all, she is my wife even if I am a bit disappointed at her small stature.Her small pouty lips that were painted with a red lipstick were opening and closing slowly, they looked so inviting.“If you ever try to…..” I don't know what got over me but I knew I wanted it, so I went for it. There is no one that will be stopping me from having her tonight.She began to struggle but I held her tighter.

Lucas’ POVThe Next Morning.I woke up but couldn't open my eyes. I felt as if someone was gazing at me, it was an instinct.I groggily opened my eyes and saw the lady I played with last night, ogling at me with a bright smile on her face.'Nope, this isn't bright. That's a sly smile,’ my subconscious said and I opened my eyes fully.She looked to be in a daze as she stroked my face. I cleared my throat and she was finally snapped out of whatever that she was thinking.“Good morning, handsome. How was your night?” She greeted me, I stood up and sat on the bed.My heart was throbbing badly, I didn't respond to her but searched for my phone.“Are you looking for this?” I looked over to her side and saw my phone with her.“And tell me the reason why you are with it?” I asked in a slightly raised voice, my voice sounded hoarse and husky.Instead of feeling intimidated, she said with a blush crept on her cheeks.“I didn't want you to be disturbed by phone calls, so I switched it off,” she

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?

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.
