Lucas’ POVThe Next Morning.I woke up but couldn't open my eyes. I felt as if someone was gazing at me, it was an instinct.I groggily opened my eyes and saw the lady I played with last night, ogling at me with a bright smile on her face.'Nope, this isn't bright. That's a sly smile,’ my subconscious said and I opened my eyes fully.She looked to be in a daze as she stroked my face. I cleared my throat and she was finally snapped out of whatever that she was thinking.“Good morning, handsome. How was your night?” She greeted me, I stood up and sat on the bed.My heart was throbbing badly, I didn't respond to her but searched for my phone.“Are you looking for this?” I looked over to her side and saw my phone with her.“And tell me the reason why you are with it?” I asked in a slightly raised voice, my voice sounded hoarse and husky.Instead of feeling intimidated, she said with a blush crept on her cheeks.“I didn't want you to be disturbed by phone calls, so I switched it off,” she
Alyssa's POVYesterday's event took a toll on my body. All my body felt numb and stiff. I was mad at myself for giving that rascal another chance for kissing me for the second time without my consent.I slept off while crying last night, I knew that I would have to bear with his attitude. We will be living together afterwards.It was my Mum's call that woke me up this morning, followed by Ivy. I did all my morning routines and decided to leave the room. I was still on a phone call with Ivy when that rascal entered.“Yeah, he just got back,” I was explaining what he did to Ivy and informed her that he had just arrived.His hair was disheveled, there was red lipstick all over his face. His eyes widened when he saw me.I could only shake my head and walked to the kitchen when he suddenly yelled behind me.“Hey! That is totally a lie. I only went out for some work,” I was startled when I heard his loud voice.“Is he high?” I muttered under my breath, I noticed that he was walking closer t
Alyssa's POVI didn't mean to be aggressive, the fact that he cheated on me without even hiding it was making me madder at him. He walked closer to Granny and I, trying to sit next to me but one glare from me, he settled on the couch across the table. Each of us was seated on different couches, but I was closer to Granny than he was.“I hope you are good?” Granny asked, the question was directed to me and I smiled.But before I could respond to her, Lucas beat me to it.“Oh my sweet grandmother. After you have disciplined me, you still showed your concern to me,” he touched his heart with a dramatic expression on his face.“I will forever love you Granny,” he cooed, I was biting my lips in order not to laugh.'Doesn’t he know what he looks like?’ I couldn't help but chuckle silently.His shirt was wrinkled and his smile looked forced. He leaned into the couch and sighed soundly.“To answer your question, Granny, I am hanging in there, but not without a symphony of aches and pains. Th
Alyssa's POV"What audacity do you think you have... to call another man right in front of your husband?!” Lucas snapped, feigning anger and I couldn't help but scoff.He might think I was on the phone call with another guy, but I was amused that he was being jealous.“Just keep shut!” I snapped at him with a glare. He looked taken back and I crossed my arms.“At times, you yell unnecessarily. Don't you get tired? At 24, you should be this childish,” I rubbed my forehead tiredly.I have a lot to think about, rather than having a banter with him.“You called another guy ‘babe’ right in front of me. Don't you have shame, and you expected me to keep mute about it,” he said and I rolled my eyes.“This shouldn't be coming from you, mister. Someone who is shameless is talking about shame. Just take a good look at yourself,” I hissed at him.He is so dirty. It's been more than thirty minutes since he arrived, he hasn't taken the initiative to bathe yet.“I know I am good-looking no doubt. Ma
Alyssa's POVAfter what seemed like an eternity, he finally came out of the bathroom. I was so vexed and decided to ignore him.We dressed up and the maids packed our bags. I wore a soft t-shirt, stretchy leggings and comfy sneakers. I held my hoodie with my arm and hung my hand bag on my shoulder.I walked down the stairs with him behind me. I was actually self-conscious because I was intentionally climbing down the stairs slowly. Yet, he still hadn't met up with me.I suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Yeah, I caught him!He smirked.“Don't you think that's disrespectful?” “Who cares about disrespect,” he scoffed and was about to walk past me when I suddenly kicked him and he landed flat on the floor.“Fvck! What the heck?!” He yelled loudly, looking furious. His eyes scanned through the room, the maids and bodyguards were hiding their faces in order to hide their laughing faces.“That’s what you get for being a sn*tch!” I snapped at him, tying my hoodie around my waist.
Alyssa's POV “That fvcker!” I cursed under my breath, marching at a fast pace towards Lucas and the blushing flight attendant.I can't believe he was flirting with her openly.“What's going on here?” I asked immediately I was close enough.“Nothing that seems to be your business,” he responded without looking at me. The smile on his face widened when he gazed at the flight attendant, who looked confused.“I will take three slices of sandwiches… since I can't have you,” he flirted and I scoffed.“That's a cheap pick up line. It doesn't sound….” He interrupted me.“It's my business. So don't intervene,” he turned to look at me and said flatly. At first, I was intimidated at his gaze, but then, I was quick to snap out of the spell. The flight attendant walked past me and I followed behind her.“Where do you think you are going? Come back here,” Lucas said in a loud voice, attracting prying eyes on us.He stood up and came to pull my back. All I wanted was just to warn the lady to stay
Alyssa's POV“Yes, but I didn't just try to approach you. I saw you bullying her..” the little girl pointed at me.“.... that was why I came here. Bullying is bad,” she lectured and I was amused.Lucas’ face got drained of colors and I smiled, “Please, tell him dear. He nearly hitted me,” I added, feigning a hurtful gaze.“You are being so judgemental. What's your name?” Lucas asked her, looking serious.“Annabelle. Ann for short,” she replied cutely, putting her hands on her waist.“Fine, listen here Ann. She stole from me, and that got me upset…” he explained but Ann cut him off.“I saw everything. She was just trying to be cute with you,” she defended me and I was surprised.“Wow, thanks baby girl. I knew that he was more…” I was interrupted by a voice.“That doesn't mean you should steal from him. You could have asked,” a little boy resembling Ann said, walking towards us and I raised a brow.“I am Donald. Ann's twin brother,” he stretched his hands forward to Lucas, who took his
Alyssa's POV“Why are you staring at me?” he asked and I hissed loudly, looking away from him.He chuckled and I turned to him, raising my brows wondering what was making him chuckle.“You are pained,” he asserted with a smirk.“Excuse you?” I don't get what he was trying to say.“You wanted me to take the man's advice and turn me into your nanny. It's never happening wifey,” he said as a matter of fact tone while I rolled my eyes.“What should I expect from a jerk like you? Of course, I can't keep my hopes up and have them shattered into pieces,” I said to him.“That's more like it. Think in that perspective,” he responded with a grin.I gazed at him with different thoughts running through my mind. ‘Was he heartbroken before and promised never to love again?’ I wondered with my gaze on him.He turned and raised his chin at me, “What’s with that look?” He asked and I sighed.“Can I ask you a quick question?” I asked and he paused before looking at me.“How about you ask me a slow ques
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
SURPRISEALLYSA'S POV I walked out of the building, walking briskly to get to the cab stand when I bumped into someone, raising my head, I found Miss Charlotte staring back at me. “We meet again.” She said as I shook my head and tried walking away.“We didn't meet again, just pretend like you didn't see me.” I said and walked past her but she pulled me back and heldy hand tightly. “Where do you think you're going to?” She asked and I chuckled.“Let go of my hand this instant or you'll regret holding my hand.”“You shouldn't have come back you know, running into you again just ruined my good mood.” I sighed, shaking my head.“Worrying too much isn't good for your wrinkled face, try staying in your lane and stop poking your nose in other people's businesses, it's not nice.” “How dare you?” She raised her hand to hit me but I held it and pushed her backwards. “You shouldn't test your luck Charlotte, I'm not gonna sit back and watch you treat me like you did in the past, I've got my lif
TSUSPENSION ALLYSA'S POV I walked towards the doctors office and knocked on the door. “Come in.” I heard him say as I walked in, smiling at him. “Mrs Jackson, you must have heard from the nurses, she'll be discharged today.” He said as I smiled and nodded my head.“I'm so happy doc, so so happy that she pulled through and that she's going home in a few days.” “Not a few days, she'll be going home today, you just need to get the prescription and and then get her the drugs and she'll be fine.”“Thanks doc.” I said and walked out of the office, in search of Max. I'd left him at the entrance of the lobby but right now, I couldn't find him. “Where could he be?” I whispered, walking out of the building as I caught sight of Max talking to a lady.On a much closer look, I noticed the lady was Nora and this provoked me. “What's she doing with him?” I asked myself, still shocked to find them standing and talking together.Nora walked away suddenly, walking towards the other side of the car
NEW START ALLYSA'S POV I felt like a fulfilled woman walking out on Khloe. She had her chance with me years back but trying to amend it and make it right isn't going to change my feelings and what transpired before I left for Italy.“Thanks Mr.” I said, getting out of the cab cause these days, my brains so troubled and it really isn't a good idea to drive a car in such a time.“Good day Mrs Jackson.” The receptionist greeted as I walked into the building, the cool air from the air conditioner dried my sweat immediately, giving me that relaxing feeling.I walked into Ariel's room and found it empty as I raised my brows. “Should be with Lucas then.” I muttered under my breath and walked out, heading towards Lucas room.I pushed the door and walked in, immediately Ariel smiled, her smile reaching her eyes and I was glad about that.“Mummy.” She called as I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her. “Lucas.” I called, touching his arm. “How are you feeling?” I asked. He woke up
NOT NEEDED ALLYSA'S POV I watched as granny and Lucas mom prepared to transfer Lucas and Ariel to another hospital. They've already arranged for security. Just then, I noticed Nora walking towards Ariel's room with a tray containing drugs.The guards at the door stopped her and immediately I walked towards them. “What's going on here?” I asked as she turned to look at me. “I was about going in to give these drugs to Ariel but he wouldn't let me in.“That's because you're not needed here, I placed these security guards here for a purpose which this filthy hospital couldn't handle.” I paused and swallowed.“Besides, are you on duty? 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
DEATH TRAPALLYSA'S POV I walked into Lucas room, watching him sleep as I wondered what had happened to warrant such running around from the doctors and staff of the hospital.Just then, the door opened and a nurse walked in. " Care to tell me what happened?" I asked."I'm not in any position to tell you anything." she replied. " Can I ask the doctor I guess he has a perfect explanation for this." 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." I felt my heart beat faster, who could have done such a thing to Lucas?"I don't understand what you're trying to say, what do you mean?" I asked."I guess he has some issues with people, I really don't know who could have done i
GOODNEWSALLYSA'S POV Ivy arrived as soon as I finished eating breakfast with a big bag slung over her shoulder and of course Jack followed suite. “Good morning Allysa, how are you doing?” He asked as I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.“As you can see, I'm doing really good and I'm happy about it.” I replied playfully, patting his arm. Just then, the doctor stepped out of Ariel's room and my eyes locked with his.“Good morning doctor, can we see her now?” I asked and he nodded, walking towards me. “Yes you can but you have to go in in twos because she doesn't need to be crowded.” He replied as I smiled and nodded.“Thanks doctor, what about Lucas? How's he?” I asked.“Still weak and recovering slowly but he's fine.” As he walked away, I turned to find granny and Lucas mom standing close to us, their face brightened up as soon as they saw me. “They're fine granny, they're doing okay.” I said, going to hug her firmly as Lucas mom joined in the hug too.“We're really happy Allysa, go
RUINED PLANS NORA POVI noticed Allysa's mood turned sour the minute I said I was on duty but what do I care? I have my plans to fulfill and a huge sum of money to receive if I do it really well, I cannot afford to fail in this plan. “Are you a nurse?” Allysa asked, walking up to me as I sighed and pulled out my ID and showed my name tag. “I'm a certified nurse,nif you doubt me we can walk__”“I have the right to decline your service on my daughter, am I right?” She asked as my heart sank. I continued to look into her eyes, not uttering any words.What does she mean by she has the right to stop me from rendering services to her daughter? “You should really let me do my job, that's not__”“I want you to leave, I'm not comfortable with my daughter and husband being around you, leave immediately.” Just then, doctor Helios walked towards us and met the scene unfolding before him.“What's going on here?” He asked as I sighed and put on a pity face.“Miss Allysa __”“She doesn't want her
LONG TIMEALLYSA'S POV “Max.” I called, trying to pull him away but granny was quick to notice something. “He's the guy from the pictures, isn't he?” She asked, walking closer to us. “What picture? 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. You're getting a divorce very soon and it's normal to get into a relationship, it's really normal.”“Yes Allysa, it's normal to be in a relationship, you'll be divorced soon. And trust me, we'll support you in whatever you choose to do.
