Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 38: Harsh Words
ALLYSA'S POV “What did you do?” He asked, not taking his seat. He stood, cowering over me as I felt so small in his space. “I picked your call, it was from a strange number so__”“So what? Who gave you the right to touch my phone let alone pick my calls?” He asked as I chuckled. “You're defending your mistress? Is that it? Defending her squarely in my presence?”“Who are you? Just a charade of a wife and nothing more.” People were staring already and gossiping. “Lucas keep your voice cool, you're attracting the eyes of people.“Are you embarrassed? Tell me is this an embarrassment to you?” He fired angrily.“She practically called you babe what did you expect me to do? Have another woman call my husband babe while I watch?” I asked angrily. “Have you tried believing me for once? I cheated once and you've been using it against me time and time again why?” He asked and I found myself guilty of that.“I asked on several occasions, who are you always talking to but of course it fell on

LUCAS POV The space next to me was empty when I woke up meaning she's awake already. I got down from the bed, mentally counting the days remaining for the honeymoon to be over. I couldn't wait to get back to my normal and everyday life.Allysa walked in through the door leading to the balcony in her bathrobe as she avoided meeting my eyes. Just then my phone rang and as usual, grandma was on the line.“Morning grandma, how was your night?” I asked, putting the phone on speaker so I could leave the phone on the table.“You're awake, how was your dinner date?” She asked as my mood changed. I didn't want any reminder of what happened last night but it seems I couldn't avoid it, she'll definitely ask.“Nice grandma, do you wish to speak to Allysa?”“Yeah.” She replied.“Morning grandma, did you sleep well?” She asked, avoiding eye contact with me. I still couldn't believe she picked my call. The nerve of her.“Alright grandma.” The call ended and she left my phone on the table, forcing h

ALLYSA'S POV After eating, I called in room service to clean the place up while I joined Lucas on the couch. “What kind of movies do you watch?” Lucas asked, sorting through the stations as we noticed the chills coming in through the window.My eyes moved over the window panes as I walked towards the window. “Let's sit here for a while.” I said, walking out into the balcony.“You're gonna catch a cold.”“Oh please we've been told that on countless occasions but nothing is gonna happen.” I replied and saw him frown.“When you fall sick who's going to take the blame? I know my granny pretty well I won't hear the end of it. Letting my wife fall sick during our honeymoon.” “Oh quit the lectures already, I'm not a baby, I'm a full blown adult.” I replied, chuckling. He's behaving like his grandma presently and it's hilarious.“Keep this up and I'll give you an award for the best actor, you acted perfectly well just now.

LUCAS POV “It seems it isn't going to stop raining anytime soon.” I said, walking out of the bedroom as she placed our clothes into our travel bags. She lifted her head, gave me a smile and continued.“Yeah I think so, we should get drenched in the rain, what do you think?”“I think it's delirious so get on with what you're doing it's a no for both of us.” She giggled and I found myself staring at her face then her lips. Why didn't I notice her beauty before now? It felt like I'd been dreaming for a while.“We should play a game when you're done.” I said and settled on the couch for work. I had tons of things to do so the earlier I start, the better for me. “What kind of game?”“Hurry up and you'll find out.She settled next to me, folding her legs up to her chin as her eyes focused on the screen of my laptop. “So what kind of game are we on to?”“Truth or dare.” She burst out laughing and it was so magnetic, I found myself smiling with her. “Are we in highschool or something?” She a

ALLYSA'S POV When the call ended, we both burst out, laughing hysterically. “That was close.” He said as I nodded. “Grandma would have practiced witchcraft by rushing down here in an hour time, there's nothing she cannot do so I've observed.” I said as he held the bottle.“Without wasting much time let's get back to business.” He flipped the bottle and the cap faces me, making me smile again.“Truth or dare Mr Jackson?”“Truth.” He replied curtly as I chuckled.“Someone is scared of being dared?”“Hell no, I'm not just interested in that anymore.” I rolled my eyes. “What's your honest truth about me?” I asked the question he asked me the first time.He sighed, chuckling to himself.“You know how to turn the table around and I must commend you for that.”“I'm a lady, it's normal.” I replied, fanning myself with my hands. By this time,the rain had subsided but the howling of the wind was still going on, sending in chills.“Well my honest truth about you at first was so wrong I guess,

ALLYSA'S POV I ordered dinner and as we sat to eat, I wondered how our lives would be when we get back home. “Allysa?” He called.“Yeah, you need something?” I asked trying to sound normal. The issue from earlier on had taken a toll on me, I still couldn't believe he saw our marriage as a charade till now. “I want us to live cordially when we get back home, no issues, a mutual understanding and__”“And what?” I fired, already getting angry.“Are you angry at me?” He asked and I scoffed. The saying men are so ignorant isn't a fallacy, he's definitely dumb and ignorant.“Did you piss me off?” I asked, glaring at him as he raised his hands in the air. “Now I'm more convinced I did something terribly wrong, did I__”“Can you quit it? I'll behave cordially because of my sanity and not because you asked.“Thanks anyway.” He replied.Later that night, I stood in the bathroom my phone in my hand as I contemplated on calling mom. Talking to her at any point in time eases my anguish, tension,

LUCAS POV I chuckled as she continued to scream until the helicopter got a steady pace. “You seem to amaze me everyday.” I teased but got no response from her. She's been giving me the cold treatment for sometime now and I couldn't place where I went wrong.“You should be amazed.” She replied and I chuckled. “Plan on going back to work once we get back?” I asked and she scoffed. “You seem to amaze me too, you didn't expect me to stay at home did you?”“You're angry about something and you're not telling me about it” She turned to look at me, “Angry at you? Why?”“I don't know but I can feel it.” “Then your feelings are just hallucinations, nothing more than that.” She replied and plugged her earphones in.I busied myself with my laptop, taking occasional glances at her but she kept on nodding her head to the tune of whatever she was listening to. ***********************Lucas grandma busied herself with preparations for their return. “Put those right there and I want this h

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.

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."

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.
