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
ALLYSA'S POV “A gift?”He walked back down the stairs, taking his eyes to Benny as she walked down the stairs. “To Mr Jackson, was written on it so I knew it was for you.”“Did you see the dispatch rider? 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? Acting so high and mi
LUCAS POV As I walked into the house that evening, I could perceive the tasty aroma of something cooking up in the kitchen. I walked up the stairs and noticed that Allysa was back from work. Jumping into the bathroom, I freshened up and walked out of the bedroom, smiling at myself.The investigator had just sent me a few photos of Allysa getting into her car in front of her work place. He's stalking her really good and she won't know what hit her.“Oh!” She gasped.“When did you get in?” She continued, placing the tray of food on the table as I walked over and sat down.“You were busy so I went up, not quite long.” I replied as she nodded.“Alright I decided to make your favorite for dinner, i asked your mom and I got to know what you love.” I nodded, smiling.She sat next to me as Benny served us.“I've got a fashion show coming up next month, I hope you'll attend.” I picked my fork and spoon, clicking it on the plate.“Of course, I'll definitely attend.” I replied and got a shocked
ALLYSA'S POV Morning came too soon for me and of course he was already dressed when I opened my eyes. “You're up so early.” I said, rubbing my eyes.“Yeah, those files, remember?” He asked, arranging his tie as I got out of bed. “Can I make breakfast for you? Or__”“Good morning sir, breakfast is served.” I heard Benny scream from behind the door as I sighed.“Have a nice day and thanks for last night.”As he walked out, I got back into bed as I was still feeling sleepy.”Two hours later, I walked into the fashion house and met Eva and Khloe talking to a sophisticated lady. She looked like a lady in her middle age, probably early fifties.“We're really sorry, we got the model we're really sorry.” Khloe kept on saying till she locked eyes with me.“Oh I'm glad you're here Mrs Jackson, this is Miss Charlotte, a very influential woman.” Khloe introduced as I walked over to shake hands with her.“Good day Miss__”“Just call me Charlotte, that'd be okay.” She said as I smiled and walked
ALLYSA'S POV “Granny how have you been, it's been a while.” I said, placing the phone on the bed so I could move around to do other things.“Good,good my child, where's Lucas?”“I'm right here granny, I was wondering if you forgot to call us or you just got tired.” He said and I chuckled.“You were clamouring for space a few days back and now you miss my calls?” She asked. I could tell she was smiling and probably sipping her Chinese tea in her favorite Chinese cup.“You know I'd do anything to hear you talk each day.” I rolled my eyes and shook my head. He's such a tease.“Allysa I ordered a dress for you.” Granny said as I furrowed my brows.“A dress? Wh_why?” I asked.“For Lucas party, the one where you'll meet his business investors.”“Oh my, thanks a bunch granny, I cannot wait to see it.”“I'm sure you'll like it, do not worry.”“A dress?” Lucas asked, standing on his feet.“You heard it right, I wonder why she got me a dress.”“For the party, she already told you.” He stressed
