ALLYSA'S POV It's been a week now since Lucas started spending quality time with me at home, sometimes ordering food and sometimes, taking me out to eat. Today he decided to work from home while I shopped online for the things I'd be needing for the opening of my fashion house.His cellphone rang, distracting us both as our eyes locked. “Should I get it for you?” I asked. These past few days, he's been so free with almost everything he owns including the password to everything he owns.“No I think I've got this.” He replied and walked over to the bed to pick the phone since we were both seated on the couches.He frowned as he stared at the phone and I needed no one to tell me it wasn't a pleasant call. “Who's it?” I asked.“No one important, let's get back to what we were doing.” He left his phone on the bed and walked up to me but I wasn't convinced.“Don't tell me you're avoiding one of your clients, I've seen you doing that before.” I said, looking skeptically at him as he chuckle
LUCAS POV “Bye.” Allysa said, waving at me as I got into my car and drove out of the compound. Over the last couple of hours, I've received several texts from Leah and it was beginning to freak me out. It began to dawn on me that she definitely had that tape hidden in a different place. How was I so foolish? “How?” I hit the staring, diverting the car to another direction but I was lucky there were no pedestrian or another car coming..I picked my phone and dialed Jack's line and of course he picked on the first ring. “Hey man, what's wrong? Your calls these days are always about something happening.” He said as I chuckled.“I think Leah has another tape, she sent me a threat and I think she's gonna upload it if I don't adhere to her wants.”“So what do you plan on doing?” Jack asked as I raked my free hand over my hair. “I really don't know Jack, I don't know.” I replied truthfully.“Go on and tell Allysa the truth, she's gonna be mad but I'll tell you this for free, she's gonna f
ALLYSA'S POV Long after Ivy walked out, I couldn't think of any other thing but what she said kept going through my mind. I covered the food properly and walked up the stairs to have the lavender bath Ivy already prepared.I kept wondering how intimacy with Lucas would feel like,will he feel I'm not as exposed as he is? I'm not enough? My boobs were perfect and I didn't have them saggy, my stomach was flat, I have a perfect models body just like my profession wants.As I stepped out of the bathroom, I gasped to find Lucas standing in front of the mirror, taking off his jacket. I didn't go in with a towel, thinking I'll have the whole room to myself but it seems he came home earlier.Our eyes met through the mirror, his eyes locked with mine and in two strides, he turned on his heels and walked over to me, his hands snaking around my waist as a small smile covered his lips.“You're becoming a bad girl.” He whispered, nuzzling my neck as his right hand moved to my left boob, slightly p
LUCAS POV My beeping phone brought me out of my sleep as I groaned and picked it up. It was Jack. I turned to look at Allysa and she was soundly asleep so I got out of bed, not wanting to wake her up.“Hey man, what's wrong and why are you calling so early in the morning, hell I was having the best sleep of my entire life.” I complained and he growled.“You need to check something and I mean now, were you able to let Allysa know about the situation between you and Leah?” He asked and I froze.“I….I didn't, what's wrong?” I asked, hoping it's not what was running through my mind.“She uploaded those tapes and it's on every site!” My heart sank to the pit of my stomach as I staggered. My whole life came crumbling in front of me and I wasn't aware I'd started crying.“Lucas, Lucas are you there?” Jack called, asking probably because I'd gone quiet. I wasn't thinking properly and right now I didn't know what to do.“Jack it's all out, I'm gonna lose my marriage, I have to do something I
LUCAS POV As I approached the gates to Leah's house, my hands on the steering vibrated, my body trembling as I forcefully stopped the car, bumping into the gate as the security guard stepped out of his hiding spot cause he definitely wasn't doing his duty.“What do you think you're doing Mr?” He thundered but I couldn't care less. “Your mistress, where's she? I need to speak with her.” I said, trying to walk past him but he held me back, blocking my path in the process.“You cannot just walk in like you own everything in there, it's terrible and my mistress is a very __”“Demonic human who shouldn't be roaming about freely amongst humans. I bet she's a beast!” I screamed, hoping anyone would hear from inside.Just then, an older lady walked out through the gate with a scowl on her face. “What was the noise J, wh__” she stopped talking, her eyes narrowing slightly on me as I stood staring into her eyes.“Where's she? Did she suddenly lose the wings she had? Or you clipped them somewh
LUCAS POV I stepped out of my car and looked around the familiar compound and environment where I grew up but suddenly I didn't feel that excitement of coming home, nothing seemed right, the day was blurry.I walked into the house and found granny and my both parents seated discussing but it stopped the moment I walked in.“You should be ashamed of yourself.” Granny spat, looking at me disdainfully as I walked slowly up to them.“I'm really sorry granny, mom, dad I__”“You what?” Dad thundered, looking away. “That girl is the daughter of a very good business partner,her parents only child how do you expect them to feel? Or worse how would you have felt if she did something like this to you? How? Tell me!” He screamed and I fell on my knees, tears rolling out of my eyes.“Where's Allysa?” Granny asked.“She's at home, I left very early to__” I stopped in mid sentence, swallowing hard.“Where did you go to?”“I went to talk to Leah and__”“Her name is Leah? The girl in your horrible vi
LUCAS POV I picked my phone and tried dialing her number but it wasn't going through. “What have I done? Where has she gone to? With all her stuffs.” The next minute, granny's call came through as my heart skipped.She's definitely going to ask after Allysa, what do I tell her?“Hi granny.” It's best she finds out now rather than later.“How's Allysa? Did you talk to her?” She asked.“Uhmm__ Allysa..”“Why are you trailing off? Where's she?”“Granny you have to forgive me, she packed out.” I voiced out as she gasped. Tears stung my eyes at the disappointment my parents and grandma must be facing.“You made her leave, can you see what you did? Huh?” She screamed at me and I couldn't fault her for it. “I'm sorry granny, I'll get her back, I'll try.” I said loud enough for anyone to hear.“Get her back Lucas, her place is here with us, not running away from us. I know she's hurt, all the more we need to be around her.”“I'll bring her home granny, do not worry.” she sighed.“I trust yo
LUCAS POV “Good day, Mr Jackson speaking, Allysa's husband.” The line went quiet immediately but I knew he was still on the line as I could hear him breathing.“Yeah, how may I help you?” He asked and I sighed. “You prepared the divorce papers, right?” I asked.“Yes I did, is something wrong?” “No not at all, though I'm not signing it and you wasted your time but I'd like to ask you for a favor, my wife's missing and I can't find her, you definitely know where she is.” I said and head him sigh heavily.“I really wished I knew but she refused to tell me, the only thing I know is that she rushed out of my office so she doesn't miss her flight.” “Flight?” I asked.“Yes and I don't think it's to any other states I think she left the country.” My heart sinked into the pit of my stomach as I staggered a bit.“Meaning she should be on the plane now heading to God knows where.” I closed my eyes as I felt the tears coming again.“Thanks a lot.” I ended the call and dialed Jack's line.“Hey
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.
