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
Lucas’ POV “What?!” I heard her screaming while I was grinning inwardly like a fool. Yes, that is what she gets for being rude to me.“Lucas, Lucas. Please, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you that way. Please, open your eyes. You can make the call now… just open your eyes… Lucas… Lucas,” her tears fell on my cheeks and I was stunned.‘Was she so dumb not to see that I was faking it?’ she continued to shake me, crying her eyes out. I knew I had to open my eyes before she lose her mind.‘What will happen if I open my eyes now?’ I thought, imagining her wrath if I told her it was a prank.I tried recalling the distance from the bed to the floor. If push comes to shove, I will have to run for dear life.I squinted and saw that her face was red already.“Hey! What's wrong with you?” I got up immediately and held her shoulder. She was still weeping and I regretted my actions of pranking her.“I'm fine, hey… look at me!” I shook her, trying to bring her back to life. She paused when final
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
SURPRISEALLYSA'S POV I walked out of the building, walking briskly to get to the cab stand when I bumped into someone, raising my head, I found Miss Charlotte staring back at me. “We meet again.” She said as I shook my head and tried walking away.“We didn't meet again, just pretend like you didn't see me.” I said and walked past her but she pulled me back and heldy hand tightly. “Where do you think you're going to?” She asked and I chuckled.“Let go of my hand this instant or you'll regret holding my hand.”“You shouldn't have come back you know, running into you again just ruined my good mood.” I sighed, shaking my head.“Worrying too much isn't good for your wrinkled face, try staying in your lane and stop poking your nose in other people's businesses, it's not nice.” “How dare you?” She raised her hand to hit me but I held it and pushed her backwards. “You shouldn't test your luck Charlotte, I'm not gonna sit back and watch you treat me like you did in the past, I've got my lif
TSUSPENSION ALLYSA'S POV I walked towards the doctors office and knocked on the door. “Come in.” I heard him say as I walked in, smiling at him. “Mrs Jackson, you must have heard from the nurses, she'll be discharged today.” He said as I smiled and nodded my head.“I'm so happy doc, so so happy that she pulled through and that she's going home in a few days.” “Not a few days, she'll be going home today, you just need to get the prescription and and then get her the drugs and she'll be fine.”“Thanks doc.” I said and walked out of the office, in search of Max. 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
NEW START ALLYSA'S POV I felt like a fulfilled woman walking out on Khloe. 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. He woke up
NOT NEEDED ALLYSA'S POV I watched as granny and Lucas mom prepared to transfer Lucas and Ariel to another hospital. They've already arranged for security. Just then, I noticed Nora walking towards Ariel's room with a tray containing drugs.The guards at the door stopped her and immediately I walked towards them. “What's going on here?” I asked as she turned to look at me. “I was about going in to give these drugs to Ariel but he wouldn't let me in.“That's because you're not needed here, I placed these security guards here for a purpose which this filthy hospital couldn't handle.” I paused and swallowed.“Besides, are you on duty? 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
DEATH TRAPALLYSA'S POV I walked into Lucas room, watching him sleep as I wondered what had happened to warrant such running around from the doctors and staff of the hospital.Just then, the door opened and a nurse walked in. " Care to tell me what happened?" I asked."I'm not in any position to tell you anything." she replied. " Can I ask the doctor I guess he has a perfect explanation for this." 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." I felt my heart beat faster, who could have done such a thing to Lucas?"I don't understand what you're trying to say, what do you mean?" I asked."I guess he has some issues with people, I really don't know who could have done i
GOODNEWSALLYSA'S POV Ivy arrived as soon as I finished eating breakfast with a big bag slung over her shoulder and of course Jack followed suite. “Good morning Allysa, how are you doing?” He asked as I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.“As you can see, I'm doing really good and I'm happy about it.” I replied playfully, patting his arm. Just then, the doctor stepped out of Ariel's room and my eyes locked with his.“Good morning doctor, can we see her now?” I asked and he nodded, walking towards me. “Yes you can but you have to go in in twos because she doesn't need to be crowded.” He replied as I smiled and nodded.“Thanks doctor, what about Lucas? How's he?” I asked.“Still weak and recovering slowly but he's fine.” As he walked away, I turned to find granny and Lucas mom standing close to us, their face brightened up as soon as they saw me. “They're fine granny, they're doing okay.” I said, going to hug her firmly as Lucas mom joined in the hug too.“We're really happy Allysa, go
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
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.
