Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 97: New Girl
LUCAS POV “What do you think you're doing?” Jack asked a week later as I picked the divorce papers and a pen. “I'm about to sign it, isn't that what she wants?” I asked, turning to stare at him.“You know that's not the case, something within you is telling you that's not the truth if not why haven't you signed the divorce papers? You saw that album but what makes you think she's really happy staying away from you? That's not the case.” Jack spilled as I sighed.“So what do you think I should do?” I asked, staring at the papers on the table. “You don't wanna sign this stuff so it's best you leave it, let's try finding out where the album came from then we can know her destination, it's best if you both meet up and discuss about this issue.”“Then I'll face a more befitting heartbreak when she tells me she's madly in love with her boyfriend?” “We're gonna talk to her and whatever her decision is, you'll have to respect it.” He replied and I nodded. Just then, my secretary walked in
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 98: New Relationship
MAX POVI stood in the kitchen stir frying the sauce when the blaring tune from my phone hit my eardrums. I quickly turned down the gas and walked over to pick my phone. Thankfully Allysa and Ariel were sound asleep so I decided to prepare lunch in case she wakes up and decides that she wants to eat.I checked the screen and it was Leah.“I told you not to call me during these hours, it's still day time over here.” I said lowly, walking out of the house.“How's she? Did she accept your proposal to be her boyfriend?” She asked and I sighed.“She must have loved her husband so much, she hasn't said a word about it but I'm preparing lunch and__”“Make sure she accepts it! I'm paying you for this do not make me angry!” I scoffed.“You're paying yes but do not threaten me, I have your secrets up my sleeves and trust me if not for the huge sum? I wouldn't think about working for you!”“Make sure she accepts, buy her lots of presents, take her out, spoil her and trust me she'll be yours.”“H
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 99: The Gala
LUCAS POV “It's been a year since Allysa left but if feels like eternity, she was here during the last gala.”“And you were being a dick right then, she had cramps.” Ivy reminded me as I scoffed and rolled my eyes.“You didn't have to rub it in you know?” I said as Allysa's parents walked over to meet me. “How are you doing Lucas? How's the company going?” Her father asked and I nodded.“It's quite okay, how have you been? It's been a while.”“We've been okay, we decided to stop the search for Allysa since she doesn't want to be found, I guess it's her choice and decision.”“Yeah and we should respect that.” I said calmly.As they walked away, memories from the last gala kept replaying in my head. How I paid an investigator to watch her closely and all the bull shit I did.“You're lost in thought again, let me guess it's Allysa.” Jack said, coming to stand next to me as I sighed. “I miss her a lot. She is really hurt, I don't fault her for it and I really won't blame her, it's my fa
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 100: Christening I
ALLYSA'S POV “You're looking so beautiful this morning, I really love your outfit.” Max said, walking up to me with a single white rose as I took it and smiled at him. “Thanks Max, you picked the dress so yeah it ought to look good.” He chuckled and turned to pick Ariel from her stroller.“Let's hit the road or we're gonna be late for her christening.” O this fateful morning, I wished my mom was here, including granny and Lucas mom. Even if Lucas did something terribly wrong, they deserve to know about their granddaughter and what's going on in her life.“My family must be searching for me, don't you think so?” I asked, turning to stare at him as he sighed.“You're missing them?” He asked and I nodded.“It's difficult staying away from them, I just wish they were here to witness this great day, I really miss them.” He sighed and took me into his embrace.“You needed to heal and for that to happen, you had to move away from them, you did it for yourself. Look at it this way, you never
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 101: Christening II
LUCAS POV Jack and I spoke for a long period of time after the gala with Jack telling me Vera is very suspicious so now we're keeping a close eye on her without her knowing.“This is really beautiful, I think you should take it.” She voiced out as Jack scoffed. We've been reading her body language and she seems like she's gonna faint anytime soon.“Are you okay?” Jack asked, looking at her skeptically as I almost chuckled.“Yeah, I'm ….. I'm good, I'll be outside.” As she walked out, Jack shook his head.“What do you think?” He asked and I shrugged.“She's clearly not interested in any of this but we have to keep a close eye on her, just when we thought we've gotten rid of Leah, another one decided to show up.” I scoffed.“Nothing is ever going to happen between us, the earlier she knows this, the better for her.”“Let's get out of here.”“Wait.” I said and he turned to look at me.“Speaking of Leah, haven't seen or heard anything about her in a while, it's strange because she sudden

ALLYSA'S POV “I'll get back to you.” He said, ending the call as I sighed. “I was calling but you weren't responding, I think you forgot this at my place.” I said, passing his jacket to him as he smiled and mouthed a “Thank you.” to me.“Allysa.” He called as I turned to go away so I stopped.“Max.” I also called, turning to look at him. “I'm sorry for ignoring what you want and for putting myself first, that shouldn't be the case, I'm really sorry.” He apologized as I smiled.“It's alright Max, really it's alright. I really have to get back to Ariel, she's not asleep so I don't want her to wail when she notices I'm not in.”“I'll make dinner.” He said but I smiled sadly.“I really need this time alone, thanks.” As I got to the door, his words stopped me.“Did you hear anything when yi was conversing on the phone?” He asked as I scoffed.“You don't think I eavesdropped do you?” I asked, looking at him skeptically as he sighed.“I'd never think that way, I just want to be sure you did
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 103: Dawn Of A New Era
MAX POVI paced to and fro in my house, thinking of the possible ways to make sure I get back into Allysa's life and to make sure I get closer to her.I picked up my phone and paced to and fro before moving over to the door. “I have to do this now.” I muttered and opened the door before stepping out.It's been a week and we've been living like strangers with just the occasional good morning and good day, that's not the deal or else I'm in for it.As I approached her door, so many things ran through my mind. What if she overheard my conversation with Leah on that christening day? What if she knows what I'm doing secretly but decided to be discreet about it and avoid drama?Is that the reason for her sudden change in attitude? I asked myself before knocking lightly.“You can't do that!” I heard Allysa scream at Ariel as I rolled my eyes.“Coming right now, who's it?” She asked.“It's Max, may I come in?” I asked and she hesitated for a while before opening for me to come in.“Hi.” I sai
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 104: Finding Out
LEAH'S POV My phone dinged and immediately I checked, a smile covered my face. “Just what I was waiting for, exactly what I wanted.” I voiced out loudly as mom furrowed her brows.“What do you mean? What's the message about?” She asked as I stood on my feet. “I'm going on a date with Lucas and this time around his friend is not coming along I'm just so happy.”“He hasn't signed the divorce papers, you shouldn't be too happy.” She reminded as I scoffed.“Not if I persuade him to think about signing it and trust me, more photos will be sent to him, photos of Allysa acting loved up with Max, it's gonna be mind blowing, trust me on this mom.” I stepped out of my bedroom and walked down the stairs as the doorbell dinged.“See to the door,” I said to the house keeper before walking towards the kitchen.“Good day, how may I help you?” I heard the housekeeper ask.“Is Miss Charlotte around, this is for her.” “Alright, you may leave.” As the housekeeper turned to go upstairs, I stopped her.

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
