ALLYSA'S POV She was still texting him? Mouth felt sour and dry and tears pooled in my eyes again, why's all these happening and why now? I placed his phone on the bedside table and pulled the duvet over my body before closing my eyes. It took a long time before I could finally sleep and the next moment I opened my eyes, a little sunlight was pouring in through the window.I turned to look at Lucas but his spot was empty and the shower was running in the bathroom.I got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom, “Good morning ma'am.” Benny greeted, walking past me as she made her way into the kitchen.“Morning Benny, did you just wake up?”“Yes ma'am, do you wanna prepare breakfast? I can__”“I'll prepare it with your assistance.” I replied and she nodded smiling.

ALLYSA'S POV I stood on my feet, following him swiftly. It's already dark so where exactly was he going to? My heart skipped as I recalled our wedding night. He'd gone out and we still faced the consequences till today, now this?“Lucas, where are you going to? Lucas!” I yelled as he got to the car.He opened the door but I shut it and leaned on the door. “Aren't you tired of treating me like shit?

Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 73: Big Mistake
LEAH'S POV “He's almost out, I made sure to tell the bartender to spike his drink.” One of the pretty whore I sent said, stretching her hand. I looked at her hand in disgust and placed the wad of cash in her palm.“That's the spirit girl but he told me he's married.” I scoffed and walked away from her. I sighted him the minute he walked in and of course when I saw him order a bottle? I knew he wanted to get wasted or forget something hurtful.I walked over to where he was and joined him on the other stool. His eyes were half opened and half closed.“Hi handsome.” He smiled, taking his hand to my face.“Allysa?” He called and I scoffed. Why won't he forget about her?“You miss her? Huh?” I asked as he smiled and nodded. “I…. I messed up, I made her angry can you believe it? I cannot face her right now.”“Is that the reason you came out? Huh?” I asked and picked my phone up.“Has he paid for the drinks?”“Yes he has.” The bartender replied as I nodded and dialed a number on my phone.“
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 74: Lies
ALLYSA'S POV “Did he come in last night? Did he sleep in the other bedroom?” I spoke to my self, deeply wishing he'd done that then I'll be really happy but as I opened the door to each of the bedrooms, my worst fear came crashing down on me.

You ghosted me Lucas, you ghosted your wife!” I promised myself I wasn't going to cry over him but the tears were piling up and my throat was in a tight knot.“Allysa calm down, I spent the night at Jack's place of course I went to the club to clear my head and then I went over to his place.” He

The kiss was as gentle as touching a feather to ones hand, his tongue pushed my lips apart, making me gasp as I held his shoulder for support.He broke off the kiss but kept our faces some inch closer. “Did you like it?” He asked and I nodded.We went downstairs to have dinner, Lucas served me while asking me to sit and relax since I was looking really pale.We ate in silence, stealing occasional glances at each other before retiring to our bedroom.Morning came too soon for me and I was yet to inform Lucas about quitting my job. I got out of bed and walked over to the ba

LUCAS POV “I ask again, what do you want?” “It's quite simple, I'll give you my terms and conditions, you're to dance to my tune, do not, I repeat do not test me, do not try to act smart, I'm not a nice person.” She said and poured some wine into the second glass.“You should have some, it's gonna be a lengthy discussion and you might become thirsty.” I scoffed and looked away.“Get on with whatever you wanna say, I'm running impatient.” She chuckled, shaking her head.“Oh but our time together just begun, we still have half an hour together.”“Why did you record us having sex?” I asked,anger lacing my speech.“I believe you're not so dumb and you should know where this conversation is heading to, ever since our encouter I've always wanted to have you as mine but of course you just wouldn't let me close to you.”“I'm married!”“I'm not done talking.” She fired, sipping her wine and licking her lips.“Of course I know you're married do not rub it on my face.

ALLYSA'S POV I was sitting on the bed, going through a fashion magazine when Lucas walked in. He gave me a brilliant smile and began taking off his shoes and jacket.“How was your day?” I asked, getting out of bed. Today has been really boring since I had nowhere to go to.“Great, what did you prepare for dinner?” He asked but i shrugged.“I slept off so I really don't know what Benny has for dinner, I'll go have a look at the kitchen and set the table. As I walked out, I went over to the kitchen and met Benny preparing dinner, it was almost ready.“Hey Benny can you be more faster please, I'm pretty sure my husband is farmished.” The word husband sounded foreign to me but I pushed the feeling down.Lucas came down for dinner and we ate the food with occasional questioning of each other but I noticed his eyes were distant. He looked like he was fighting something.“Lucas are you okay?” I asked and he smiled.“Yeah why do you ask?”“You look so distant but nevertheless eat your food,

LUCAS POV As I walked into my office, Jack was already seated with his legs crossed over each other on the table. He brought them down immediately our eyes locked.“Hey man,” I placed my bag on the table and got down to work. “Lucas.” He called, looking skeptically at me as I shuffled through the mails in my laptop.“Are you okay man?”“Of course I'm not, she called before I could even get home yesterday and guess what, she wants us to meet up today.” I sighed, rubbing my jaw tiredly.“What the hell, meet up? Is she okay?”“I don't think she's okay man, she's psychotic.” Jack shook his head and stood on his feet.“You're not going alone. Even if I don't get to go in, I'm going with you I'll stay in the car and I'll give you hints on how to go about the meeting if not you'll find yourself in her bed again.”“Hell no, I'm never getting myself sexually involved with her again.”“I'm glad you're learning.”Three hours later, Jack and I sat in the car outside the luxurious restaurant as h
