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. *****************************

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

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

Anything?”“No I didn't.” She walked up the stairs as I smiled. “Stranger sending gifts to my husband, first at his office then his home, this person must be a stalker, or she knows this place.”“How do you know it's a she?” He asked and I scoffed. “What do you take me for?, A fool?”“I did not say that, I really don't know who has been sending these gifts__” realization hit him hard as he kept shut.“The jewelry and this, they're not the only gifts, are they?” I asked, shaking my head. I should have known he'd hide something like that from me, why am I surprised?“Of course they are what are you even talking about, you're acting so high and mighty again and it's driving me crazy.” I turned to look at him, not believing my ears.“Is that what you think of me?
