Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 17: Enjoyable Experience
Lucas’ POV I was kinda upset with the way she asked me to drop her. It took me a lot of encourage to push my pride aside and carry her.“I didn't actually want to stress you too much,” I heard her saying behind me. I was walking at a fast pace purposely, wanting her to run and to see if she was actually faking jeg lag earlier.“Lucas hold on, my knees,” I could hear her panting while I stylishly decreased my pace. She ran towards me and held my shirt.She was panting, my lazy gaze fell on her and she pressed her lips tightly. She was trying to hold her laughter, she looks cute and babyish, especially with her height, she was small and pure. “Don't do that,” I warned as I watched her trying hard not to laugh. Her expression was infectious and I found myself holding my laughter as well.“Do. Not. Laugh. Al… haha,” we both busted into laughter and she placed her hand on my stomach, laughing very hard.My gaze was on her as I watched her laughing while holding her stomach. I was chuckli

Alyssa's POVThe Next Day.“M-Mum… no… th-the… c-curtains,” I mumbled half sleepy. The ray of light fell on my face, it was my Mum's style of waking me up.I didn't hear from her and kept on turning until I groggily opened my eyes. My gaze fell directly on the chandelier, the one in my room wasn't as big as this.I turned and yawned loudly. For a moment, I forgot that I was married. I got up and found the side of the bed to be empty.'Where is he?’ I didn't ponder about it and removed the duvet before going to freshen up. It's our first honeymoon day.I had always wished for my honeymoon to be a fairytale romance. Being our first day, I expected to wake up with warm kisses, my husband confessing his love to me, a magical morning with a soft glow of candlelight and the scent of freshly bloomed flowers.I knew that was never happening, as far as I am Mrs Jackson, nothing of such was gonna happen. I freshened up and changed into comfortable clothes.I decided to call Ivy, to keep my min

Alyssa's POV“Oh, is that it?” I mumbled out and checked if Lucas was out of the bathroom yet.For some reason, I don't wanna go out today. I thought back to how Lucas was flirting with the waiter and the flight attendant.I looked up at the ladies, they were quite tall and beautiful. I don't wanna be the cause of my doom.‘Does that mean being careful?’ my subconscious teased but I ignored it.“Yes, ma'am,” their response brought me back to life. I gave an awkward chuckle and gripped on the door's handle.“Were you sent by Lucas… sorry, my husband?” I asked, the word husband felt weird on my tongue.“No, ma'am. Old Mrs Jackson has booked…” I interrupted them.“Huh? Granny did this?” They nodded at my question and I gazed at them in utter surprise. I was thinking Lucas had brought them in here.“Oh, well, your service won't be needed… hold on, don't get me wrong,” I tried to clarify after seeing their twisted faces.“Actually, we just wanna stay indoors today, and rest a lot. If we ne

Alyssa's POV“Baby baby baby ooohhh…” I covered my ears with the pillow. He has been singing Justin Bieber's song, Baby, for so long, just to apologize.But I was still mad. Argh, I covered my ear properly. 'Doesn't he know that he is tone deaf?’“I thought you would always be mine… Alyssa, stop acting difficult,” his tone showed that he was stressed.“Alyssa,”“Just go away,” I responded in a loud voice.“How about now?” I raised my eyebrows when I heard him. I didn't realize what he meant until he began tickling me.“Hahaha,” I yanked the duvet off my face and began laughing hard.“Stop.. stop.. stop.. haha,” I was really laughing hard. He was grinning mischievously with a satisfied expression.“Are you still mad?” He asked me teasingly.“Never.. haha… I am NOT,” my voice was raising as tears were coming out of my eyes.“Call me daddy,” he demanded and didn't stop. I was afraid that I might pee on myself.“Daddy! Daddy!” I yelled loudly until he left me. I was still laughing and hel

Alyssa's POVEvening Time.We got out of our room for an outdoor dinner date within the hotel building.I was dressed in a sapphire blue gown, adorned with glitters and pearls. My hair was styled with a jeweled comb that complimented my minimal make-up. I love wearing six-inch heels because of my height.Lucas was in a white six-pieces suit, his hair was tousled aside and the diamond stud on his left ear, sparkled under the red soft glow that was decorated around us.We were seated, close to the pool, eating our meal in silence. There was nothing to talk about and I wonder how we will be able to convince Granny.Soon, we were done eating and our plates were packed. I was sipping my red wine, finding solace in the soothing atmosphere.“Do you have anything in mind?” I heard Lucas and I turned to him.“Huh?” I asked absentmindedly. I was in my thoughts and didn't hear what he just asked of me.“Do you have anything in mind? Any activities to…”“No,” I responded.It just occurred to me t

Lucas’ POVThe Next Day.It was past 5 PM in the evening. The second day of our so-called honeymoon. We decided to take a stroll, and of course it was Alyssa's idea.I have come to realize that she doesn't like going out too much. It makes me wonder how she got more than ten body counts if she wasn't an outgoing person.The events of last night kept replaying in my head. I was trying to keep my cool, thereby causing me to dance aggressively with her.I played the video of us on my phone and watched it alone after sending it to Granny, and her figure was top-notch, causing me to rewatch the video multiple times. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard her giggles.“Aww, look at that,” she was pointing at a kid, who was playing with a dog that was as white as snow.I furrowed my brows and looked down at her again, her gaze didn't leave the girl until we walked past her.“Wait here,” she said and was about to leave but I stopped her.“Where are you going?” “I am coming,” she didn'

Lucas’ POVA Few Hours Later.I was done with the movie and I will give it a zero out of ten. It wasn't to my taste at all.I got outside and saw everyone gisting about the movie but Alyssa was nowhere to be found. At first, I decided to hang around, thinking she must be gisting with someone about the movie as well.But even after more than thirty minutes, I couldn't find her. I was getting anxious already and ran inside the room. I found it to be empty as everyone was expected to leave once the movie was over.“Where the hell is she?” I groaned, pulling out my phone and dialed her number.It was ringing but she wasn't picking up. I was getting frustrated already, it was better for the phone not to ring than for it to ring and the other person wouldn't pick up.“Good evening, have you seen my wife? This is her photo,” I showed the man we purchased the tickets from her photo but he shook his head.My heart was racing at the thought of the worst case scenario. Only if I had watched her

Alyssa's POVI stirred in my sleep and groaned, then I heard distant murmuring.I groggily opened my eyes and saw Lucas at the door. He was just in his singlet, I saw him collecting some things before closing the door.I instantly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I dreamt about saving the couple, the thought of it alone was making me feel giddy.'I saved them,’ I giggled silently.I felt the bed dipped and I closed my eyes tightly. I felt him removing the duvet from my head and I released it to see what he was going to do.“Wake up, shorty,” he didn't touch me and only said that. He repeated it and I turned, trying to make it look believable.“It's morning already,” his voice sounded deep and husky. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I don't know when I began blushing.“Geez! You are running a fever,” he touched my forehead and was about to leave the bed when I suddenly got up.“Morning!” I sang in a ridiculous rhythm and he looked surprised to see me up. My eyes went down

TIJUST FRIENDS ALLYSA'S POV I walked back into the house after Max left with my mind going through several thoughts. “Hey Allysa, where did you go off to?” Ivy asked. “Oh I was with Max, he left already. 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

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

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. Why were the nurses running everywhere just to make sure he's alright?" I asked."I'm sorry to say this but he got a cut in the vein and we really don't know how it happened."
