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. He didn't return home last night, he didn't pick his calls and he didn't care to tell me where he spent the night.I finished dressing up, took my bag and was about stepping out of the bedroom when he bumped into me.He looked like he had a rough night but asides that, he looked clean.“Where did you spend the night?” It came out before I could reason properly and stop my mouth from uttering nonsense.“You didn't pick your calls, didn't text back either. 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

ALLYSA'S POV “Allysa I want to kiss you.” I heard him point blank but I couldn't process what he just said. “Allysa?”“Lucas.” I called as he pulled me closer, his cheek nuzzling my neck as I took in a deep breath. “I really want to kiss you Allysa.” His voice vibrated through my skin.“Then what are you waiting for?” I whispered, locking eyes with him as he smiled and tilted my face upwards before claiming my lips. 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.

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,

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.

And which job?”“I'm a model, I can design dresses so I guess I'm just gonna look for another fashion house or modeling company.” I replied.“What if I did something for you?” She asked, raising her brows.“Did what?”“I'm gonna fund it fully, a mini fashion house just for you.” I almost screamed but I held myself.“You're willing to do that for me? Like for real?” I asked, not believing my ears.“Yes of course, right after we deal with your former employees and their sorry ass company.” My eyes went saucer round as I looked skeptically at granny.Did she just use that language?“I'm really happy granny, this means a lot to
