Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 52: A Woman
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

ALLYSA'S POV “Mom,dad, what's this about? We have guests inside and we really can't leave them__”“We're not gonna take much of your time Allysa but we're still your parents and we deserve some respect from you.” I sighed, looking behind me. “I accord you both with the respect you deserve so where have I gone wrong?” I asked, moving slightly away from them.“You yelled at me the last time we were together, you walked out, you didn't listen to what I had to say.”“Mom, dad are we really gonna have this conversation right here? Someone might come out and I'm not ready to embarrass myself to the public that I'm married for an agreement between my family and that of my husband!”“Allysa!”“Father, I did what you wanted, I got married, I sealed my lips and I became the obedient daughter you've always wanted, now it's time for you both to do what I want.” They looked at each other, furrowing their brows. “What do you want?”“Respect my decisions, I'll accord you the respect you want, just

ALLYSA'S POV “Is she being serious? Ferti__”“Allysa come on, what's that?” Lucas asked, walking up to me as I turned around to face him. “Milk.”“Why milk? What for?” Lucas asked, staring at the cup as I shrugged. “She wants me to drink it I couldn't ask her why?” I lied, walking toward the dressing table. I took my jewelries off and walked into the bathroom to wash up.By the time I walked out of the bathroom, he was already in bed, going through his laptop. “Why do you think granny gave this to you?” “I really don't know, but it__”“I usually got the milk when I was little but now it's you? That's not fair.”“You're such a cry baby, we've got to wake up early in the morning, I have to go to mass.”“Don't forget to pray for me, I'll pass.” I chuckled and drank the milk before getting into bed. I guess the relationship is much simpler and better when we act as friends and not as a couple.“So when do you plan on us visiting your parents? We've talked about this.”“And I didn't gi

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

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.

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.
