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
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 102: Investigation
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.
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 105: Evidence Gotten
LEAH'S POV “I should know the lady I'd love to take as my girlfriend and intended wife, don't you think?” He asked and I smiled.I guess my mom was right about what she said, they must be suspicious about me and of course they'll try to find out everything they can from me.I needed to act fast and smart so I smiled and picked my fork up.“Ummm where do I start from? My childhood was so nice you know coming from a rich family,one whose influence on the society was vital for it's growth. I was groomed to become the perfect daughter of course I have a brother and he shoulders all the responsibilities.” The lie came out so smoothly and I was really glad about it.“You have a brother, hmm must have been nice having a younger brother, a sibling to share your pain and joy with.” I smiled, looking dreamily at the sky.“We had our differences but it was worth it, that's what siblings do, that's why we stand for each other even in trying times.” He nodded and poured more drink into my cup.
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 106: Evidence Gotten II
LUCAS POV “Now that we've gotten the evidence we need, we can have to get to her before she leaves the county, I know that'll be her next move.” Jack said, heading to the car as I stopped him.“What do you think you're doing? Leave that to the investigator to do, she's a dangerous lady trust me, we shouldn't get involved with her.” Jack sighed, raking his hand through his hair as I patted his back.“Relax and calm down, it's gonna be fine and alright nothing is gonna be wrong trust me.” A few hours later, a call came through Jack's phone and immediately he stood up.“Let's get out of here, the investigator has something to show us.”As we got out of the car, my eyes took in the environment, the serenity was top notch and so was the right security.“Good day Mr Jackson, Jack please this way.” He said, leading us in as we followed suit.“So what did you find out? I hope she__”“I think she left the country immediately after the dinner date with you.” He said as we walked into his offi

LEAH'S POV (Flashback)I woke up on my bed, in my bedroom, confused as any other thing. “What's going on?” I asked myself, scratching my head as though the answers were gonna fall out one way or the other.I got down from the bed and paraded barefoot to the bathroom to wash my face. Suddenly, I started having flashbacks of my date from last night.“What exactly happened?” I asked myself, hitting my head lightly as I heard my door opening. “Leah, Leah.” She called but I was hell bent on recalling what happened last night.I rushed out of the bathroom, walking up to mom. “Mom, how.. how did I get to my bedroom last night? How did I get home? I don't recall driving and I also __”“You definitely didn't drive down here yourself and of course you were wasted so you do not remember anything.” Mom said as I froze.“I think I blew my cover mom I think they know who I am right now and it's really bad, mom what should I do?

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.
