ALLYSA'S POV My eyes fluttered open, taking in the little daylight pouring in. I got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom, going through with my morning routine of brushing my teeth before walking out of the bathroom.I looked at Lucas as he still slept peacefully, snoring lightly. Shaking my head, I walked out of the bedroom and almost bumped into Benny.“Oh you're awake.” I said, sounding surprised.“Yes I am, I was about going to prepare breakfast.” She replied as I smiled. “I'll prepare it, you can just assist, I've got two hours before I go to work.”We walked into the kitchen, my eyes taking in the utensils and equipments, it's actually the first time I was going into my kitchen.“What do you wanna prepare ma'am?”“Anything you feel is right, scrambled eggs, bread, oats, pies and all.”“I'll get the things ready for you.” I watched as she scrambled round the kitchen, arranging everything on the kitchen work table.After an hour,we were done and I left her to go up to my b
ALLYSA'S POV I waved a cab down and got in, giving him a detailed information on the address. I pondered on calling Ivy but I thought about it and decided to call her after the lunch.I paid for the ride and got down. Of course the restaurant was fancy, something up to Lucas standard.I carried myself in, scanning the place till my eyes made contact with his.“Hi.” I said, walking up to him as he stood on his feet and pulled out a chair for me.“Thanks, you ordered already?” I asked“Yeah, your favorite,it should be here in no time.” I furrowed my brows.“How do you know my favorite? I never told you.”“You ordered a lot of spaghetti, sauce and meatballs during our honeymoon so I caught in on that and decided it was your favorite.” I chuckled because he was being really cute right now.“Well you're correct and I must confess,that's why you're really good with the business.” He smiled.“Here you go sir, ma'am.” My eyes took in the food before me as my mouth watered.“About the welcome
ALLYSA'S POV “Here you go.” Ivy said, passing the orange juice to me. “Thanks.” I said, bringing it to my lips. “You're welcome, you should give yourself a break, this is weighing you down so much.” “Is it?” I asked, looking into her eyes as the flavored taste of the drink went down my throat. “Yeah it is and that should be the last thing on your mind, I know you're having this mixed up feelings concerning him and it's disturbing, you feel like you're giving him your heart too soon and he doesn't even realize it, Allysa you can't tell your heart whom to love but you can live happily without having to think or bother about him.”“How?” I asked, standing on my feet.“Back then it was his cheating, then strange calls and texts and now strange gifts? I feel like I'm contending with an invisible person who's somewhere enjoying the show and waiting for this marriage to crash.”“Would you be happy if it crashes?” She asked, taking my hand in hers.“You know I won't be happy, one for myself
ALLYSA'S POV I watched as he took the phone from Benny and stood on his feet before walking away. I flung my spoon across the table and rolled my eyes. “Did you ask who she was?” I asked.“She wouldn't let me speak, she clearly told me never to pick his calls again.” I scoffed, tears pooling in my eyes.“You may leave.” I said, waiting for Lucas to come in and lie to my face about the caller. He walked in after some minutes, his eyes refusing to meet mine as I sighed.“You don't have to act weird Lucas, who's she?” I asked, standing on my feet. “Who's she and why is she calling?” I asked again, this time I stood on my feet, swallowing hard.“Allysa we don't want to have this conversation.”“Of course we do, we're gonna have this conversation, right now!”“Allysa__”I raised my hands up, hitting them hard on the table. “Tell me something, who put you up to do these things? I mean the lunch date, taking me to work and being really nice, who put you up to it?” I asked.“That's a ridicul
ALLYSA'S POV “Allysa let's talk this out, I really don't know this lady, I promise.” He voiced out as I marched into the bathroom. “I don't want your explanations Lucas,you had the time in the world to tell me everything but of course, this marriage meant nothing to you so what changed?”“Fine. Suit yourself.” I scoffed, locking the door behind me as I began having my bath.When I walked out of the bathroom, he was out already out and I was grateful for that. I got dressed and walked out of the room.“Good morning ma'am, did you sleep well?” Benny asked and I nodded.“Yeah I did, I won't be having breakfast, can you do something for me?” I asked.“Yes ma'am.” She replied.“Can you get the laundry done? I'd love that so much.” “Yeah of course.”“Are you leaving without eating?” Lucas asked as I got to the door. I placed my hand on the knob and turned to look at him.“As you can see, yes I am.” I replied and opened the door.“It's harm__”“Before you go on lecturing me, I know what is
LUCAS POV “I need to head home right now, granny just called.” I said, putting the last files inside the cabinet. “I envy you a lot.” Jack said, nodding his head as I chuckled. “You envy me? Come on you don't even mean that.”“I do, like seriously I do envy you.”“But why?” I asked, trying not to laugh. “What exactly are you envious about? The fact that granny pesters everyone or the fact that she doesn't take no for an answer?”“I guess it's both, I never got to bond so well with my grandparents, they lived in Tokyo.”“Yeah I know, you don't have to remind me but I'll tell you something, don't think I enjoy her pestering, it's tiring but i have no choice.My phone buzzed again and we both chuckled.“She's calling,bI have to head out, bye.”I hurriedly got to the mansion in no time and standing waiting for me was my grandma with anger on her face.“You weren't picking your calls, you weren't so busy were you?” Granny asked, hands akimbo.“Come on granny I'm here, ain't I?” Just then
ALLYSA'S POV I walked into the bedroom, a smile playing on my lips as he rolled his eyes. “Are you coming to taunt me? If you are I'll tell you something, don't.” I chuckled, sitting on the edge of the bed, “I've got far more important things to do with my time and I'm definitely not wasting it on you and that's on period.”“You've got a sharp mouth, you know a really sharp mouth and I'd really love to tame it.” he replied, standing on his feet “I'm sure you wouldn't want your parents and granny running into our bedroom thinking you're beating me up, you wouldn't like that, will you?” “Don't think of doing that.”“I definitely will if you don't back off and go to sleep. We've got a long day tomorrow dear husband.” I whispered, tapping his cheeks.“You really know how to shut me up, I must commend you.” “Oh I should be given an award for that also, don't you think?”“Yeah sure you should.” He replied sarcastically, burying his head under the duvet. *****************************
LUCAS POV “Hey granny,” I called, walking up to meet her. She had her handkerchief in her hands. “Granny, come on you know I didn't mean what I said, I'm sorry.”“You meant every word you said, I'm being a pest? Right?” She asked as he sighed.“Granny I didn't mean that and you're not a pest, you aren't trust me.”“Granny you should believe him, he really means it.” Allysa said, coming to join us as granny gave a radiant smile.“You had to speak sense into his head right? He's so silly.”We all walked into the house as granny called the event planner and caterer. “We'll get some rest.” Allysa said as we walked up the stairs to our bedroom.“You surprise me a lot you know.” I said as she turned to look at me. “What do you mean?” She asked, walking deeper into the bedroom.“You just helped me out there, it's nice that you're helping me out.” She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. “I couldn't see her sad so I had to put a smile on her face, don't ever think I did it for you.” My smile
