Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 21: Mood Swings
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 24: Ladies First
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 25: Pranking
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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 26: Silence Treatment (1)
Alyssa's POVI watched him as he continued laughing. I placed my hand on my chest, my heart was beating very fast when he was close to me earlier.I got out of the bed, trying to create some distance between us. It's better to be safe than sorry.“If I actually wanted to kiss you, I would ask for your permission first. So be rest assured,” I turned when I heard him say.He blew a kiss in my direction and I was reminded of the prank.“You think I forgot about the prank,” I fumed and picked up a fork and chased after him again.“I thought you had your revenge already,” he yelled back running around.“Not until I give you a piece of my mind,” he ran outside. I dropped the fork and picked up the slippers by the door and chased after him.“Stop right there!” I threatened but he only snarled and kept running down the stairs.“It's funny to see you restless, wifey,” he mocked and that fueled my anger, climbing down the stairs very fast.“Don't let me get you, duffer!” We arrived at the backy
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 27: Silence Treatment (2)
Alyssa's POVEvening Time.Lucas and I have been avoiding each other since morning. I woke up and found him playing games on his laptop with his headset on. I didn't bother him and ordered lunch and played games on my phone as well.Ivy and I chatted for some time but it felt as if the time was very slow today. I slept off again and woke up late in the afternoon. The room was suffocating with silence. We were both being petty, he hadn't left his laptop for a long time now.It was getting colder so I changed my clothes into a hoodie and a pair of jeans, sitting cross-legged on the bed.I was chatting with my Mum when I heard Lucas's phone was ringing. My ear picked and decided to listen.“Hi, Granny,” I don't know why I was excited when I heard that the caller was Granny. I knew she would call since she hasn't received our photos yet.“Granny, I am very busy right now,” his husky voice sounded even more deeper as he sighed.He was groaning and I was grinning inwardly, she must be sco
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 28: Big Melons
Alyssa's POVI woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache. I groaned and sat upright, holding my forehead. We arrived very late last night, I opened my eyes and saw that Lucas wasn't on the bed.It's been a while he last did this. I recalled his touches last night and I felt my heartbeat quickening, I was speechless as to why I didn't stop him.I tried to brush off those thoughts from my mind but it was persistent. I got up from the bed and freshened up, getting back to the bedroom, it was still empty.I was beginning to worry, I called his line but it wasn't reachable. I dropped a message for him and walked to the wardrobe.I felt like looking sexy today. Just being myself.There were no strings attached, just felt like looking good. I ignored the teasing words in my head and searched through the wardrobe.I took off my robe, I was just in my nether wear. I changed into different tops but I don't feel too good enough in them. I recalled one of the girls from last night. I fel

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

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

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

" 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?"

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?

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.
