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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 90: Futile Efforts
LUCAS POV “I'm really getting tired and frustrated, I feel the universe is trying to punish me for my wrong doings.” I muttered, sighing tiredly as Jack sighed. “Why couldn't I find her? She's really good at hiding but I won't relent, I must __”“Must do what Lucas? She doesn't want to be found, she doesn't can't you see it?” Jack asked and though I had that at the back of my mind, I refused to believe it. I know she's angry but she'll come back to me, she'll come back home.“Her parents haven't called, that's alarming.” Jack said as I sighed.“Must be in contact with my parents and granny, I really don't know how to face them.”“Any how, you'll have to face them sooner than later.” Just then, my phone rang and my heart began to beat very fast.“Speak of the devil.” I muttered under my breath.“Who's it?” Jack asked.“Her mother, how do I respond? It's __” I trailed off, not knowing what to say. I tapped the green icon and placed the phone on my ear.“Lucas, we need to talk.” She sai

LUCAS POV It's been three weeks since Allysa left without leaving a trace, three weeks since my life became a mess and three weeks since her mom kept sending threats to me. As I walked down the stairs, Benny walked out of the kitchen with a tray containing food but she should be used to it by now, I don't eat breakfast anymore.“Good morning sir, you should have breakfast.” She said, placing the food on the table but I just scoffed.“Benny I don't think you're learning. When have you ever seen me eating breakfast in the past few weeks? I'm running late and won't be the one to lecture you on what to do, you can have the breakfast.” I said and walked out of the house.If only Allysa was here, then I'd be eating breakfast on a daily basis. My phone rang and Jack's name appeared on it.“Hey dude, what's up?” “Where are you? You cannot keep the investors waiting it's wrong.” Jack said.“Then you should keep them busy that's why you're my assistant, talk to them and explain the project w
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 92: Nauseous
ALLYSA'S POV I'd woken up that morning feeling tired and nauseous and now it was washing over me as I sat to fold up my clothes. I moved into my own apartment some days back and was still in the process of getting the place together. My hand went to my head, kneading it gently as a sigh escaped my lips. The doorbell rang and immediately I knew who it was.I stood up on my feet and walked over to the door, throwing it open as Max stood with two boxes in his hands. “Hi.” He said, smiling as I made way for him to walk in.“Hey, it's still not perfect but it's becoming homey, right?” I asked, referring to the decorations and arrangements of the house.“Yeah it's looking nice, I brought lunch.” He placed the boxes on the table, and turned to face me. “You haven't eaten lunch, have you?”“I totally forgot about lunch, I wouldn't have eaten if you hadn't brought this.” I replied truthfully, walking into the kitchen as another dizzy spell hit me. I clutched the door handle properly for suppo
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 93: Months Apart
ALLYSA'S POV All through the ride back home, my hands were glued to my stomach, clutching it tightly. I knew Max was gonna ask me questions and I think it's best I come open with him.“Are you okay?” Max asked, driving into our driveway as I sighed. Finally I'd be able to hit the bathroom and have a nice sleep cause my legs were killing me.“I'm fine though it's not everyday one finds out she's pregnant.” We both chuckled at that as our eyes met.“I think I'm gonna have to come open about this and tell you the truth.” I said and he furrowed his brows.“What do you mean?” He asked as we got down from the truck as he assisted me into my house. “I didn't exactly come here for anything, I was running away from home.” He seemed more confused now.“You see I was married, a contract marriage actually. I never wanted to get married but my father insisted so I had to obey.“It was a loveless marriage, he usually called it a charade.” I laughed dryly but I guess Max didn't hear a joke in it.
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 94: A New Soul
ALLYSA'S POV Eight months laterI sighed tiredly, stretching my hand to pick the cup as Max chuckled. I rolled my eyes at him, picking a fork with my left hand as I hauled it at him. “Have a care Allysa!” He screamed, ducking his head as the fork flew past his head.“What you get for annoying a pregnant woman,when are you driving me to the mall?” I asked and he sighed. He must have been really tired. These past few months has been hectic,fun and full of memories. Memories I'll forever cherish.“I'll take you there once I get back from work trust me and we're gonna eat out.” he replied as I scoffed.He's been acting like a father figure and even if I'd tried to stop him at the beginning he'd slowly found his way around me, finding a way to make me accept him the way he is.As he walked over to the door, I felt a sharp contraction around my lower abdomen as my face constricted. My face twitched.“Are you okay?” Max asked, walking up to me and holding my hands.“Ye__ ahhh.” I screamed a

LUCAS POV “A package arrived earlier on for you sir.” My new secretary said as I waved her away. “What's in there?” Jack asked, picking it up.“It clearly states Mr Jackson, so you shouldn't open it.” I said as he chuckled and passed it to me. “Do not be a kill joy, you're no fun at all.” “It's not everyday I get to right my wrongs.” I replied and he nodded. I tore the seal, unwrapped the box and shrugged.“It can't be Leah, can it?” Jack asked.“We can't tell, let's find out what's in it.” I opened the box and froze the minute my eyes connected with the content in it.“What's in it? Why are you like this?” Jack asked, snatching the box from the table.He picked the content and his mouth fell open too. “This is not happening.” He muttered under his breath as I scoffed.“She moved on really quickly.” I whispered as he shook his head, standing on his feet. “Who sent these cozy looking photos? Whoever did this knows where she is and this person knows the implications of sending these t
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 96: Remembrance
ALLYSA'S POV My mouth opened and closed but no sound came out. Getting into a relationship with Max? Am I over Lucas already? I asked myself, staring at him as he pulled me gently out of the car with his second hand.“I'm not gonna rush you into saying anything Allysa, but know this. I love you and I love Ariel so much, I can do anything to make you both happy.” He sighed and passed the key to my door to me.I pushed the key into the keyhole and opened the door wide for him to walk in. “Welcome home sweetie.” He whispered as Ariel giggled and we both laughed.“It seems she understood what you just said. Children.” I whispered.I followed him into the pink themed bedroom and he placed her in her crib before sitting on the chair.“C..can I think about it?” “Sure you can, take your time but I'll tell you this, I'm very persistent.” He said and I chuckled.After making sure she was okay and sound asleep, we walked out of the bedroom, shutting the door quietly and moving over to the kitc
