Lucy's pov;I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried, so I sat by the window and gazed at the night sky filled with different patterns of stars. Among them, the north star was shining brightly in the sky as if it was speaking to me. I never thought my life would become a mess like this. There was a knock on the door bringing me back to reality. Why is Daniel knocking at my door? After turning the lights on, I walked to the door and when I opened it, Tyler was standing. He looked like he was about to fall so I held him and took him into my room, closing the door behind. After making Tyler sit on my bed, I took a seat in the chair near the bed. When I looked at him, he seemed like he had something to say. "What is it?" I asked him.He looked into my eyes saying, "Are you upset about not going out today?" I shook my head saying, "A little. But it's okay. We can go out later. It's not like we're going to tomorrow, right? We still have…"Before I finished, Tyler closed my mou
Lucy's pov;"Lucy… where are you?" Tyler wandered off while laying on my bed. "I'm right here." I said as I was making a place next to him on the bed. "I can't see you… where are you? Where did you go?" I turned his head and made him look at me and ask, "Do you see me now?" He smiled and said, "Why do you look so beautiful? Don't you know it's a crime to be so beautiful and rude at the same time?" "Rude?" "Even though I've tried to forget the fact that you're leaving, you remind me every day, every time which irritates me. Why do you keep telling me this? Do I look like a forgetful person to you or do you like hurting me?" "I didn't mean to hurt you." he pushed my hands away from his face and held my shoulders as he asked, "Then why are you telling me this? Every time I think about you, I feel like I should lock you in this house and hide you from the outside world." I took his hand from my shoulder saying, "This is a crime." He got up on the bed and shouted, "I don't care!"
Lucy's pov;At school, while I was doing my assignment, Casey tapped on my shoulders saying, "What are you doing here?" And leaned closer taking a look at my notebook and continued, "Wasn't this due next Friday?" "Yeah, but I have nothing to do anyways."She took the notebook away from me saying, "Then hangout with us today." "I'm not in a condition to go anywhere. Give me back my notebook."She touched my forehead and pressed my shoulders, arms like checking for a weapon."What are you doing?" "Everything is its place. Let's hangout together." I took the notebook from her saying, "I can't. I have a meeting with the discipline committee after school."She talked with her gang and said to me, "We'll wait for you."I shook my head asking, "Don't wait and waste your time for me. The meeting may extend because someone filed a report."She put her hands over my shoulders saying, "It's alright. We'll wait. Because that's what friends do." And gave me a smile before going to her squad.
Lucy's pov;At the hospital, while Tyler and Daniel talking to Mr Anderson, i came to the hospital cafetaria to buy coffee for both of them. The staff placed the coffee on the stand while saying, "One cappuccino and one large expresso." I grabbed them and walked to the elevator but got stopped after seeing Ivan in the hospital. quickly i hid from him and looked at him. he was talking seriously with the person in front of him. i never seen the other guy before. is he an acquaintance or a friend? I thought, 'What is he doing here? Is it because Mr Anderson is admitted here? is he here because of him?' I walked around them and hide behind the window to eavesdrop on them. Ivan, "Mr Higgs will get mad if he know about this. I don't know what to answer if he asked me about this."the other guy said, "Sir, I'll take the responsibility.""Cut the nonsense. He must have..." I couldn't hear them after those words. when i took a peek at them, they were already leaving the hospital. What are
Lucy's pov;I texted Tyler that I was leaving for home and walked out of the hospital. Someone tapped on my shoulder as I walked to the bus terminal, forcing me to look at them. When I did, it was Ivan. I ignored him and kept walking down the street. "Where are your bodyguards?" He teased me and asked, "What's the progress on the work I gave you?" he asked when I didn't respond. "Did you come across anything?" I sighed and said, "Just leave me alone for a little while.""If now is not the appropriate time to discuss it, when should we discuss it? When are you going to be free?""I believe it's time to call it a day here." He grabbed my hand and forced me to look at him, asking sternly, "What did you mean by that?" "I'm really perplexed right now. I have no idea what I'm doing or what to do. I feel as if I'm lost somewhere.""Lucy...""I don't want to do this any longer. I couldn't take the guilt any longer. I don't want to deceive Tyler any longer. I no longer want to work for you.
Lucy's pov;Daniel, "We've been walking for quite some time. What are our plans?" "I didn't invite you to accompany me. Please leave me alone." "I won't." "Why are you so stubborn? I'm not interested in seeing your face... At least for now." "Then give me a hint where we're going," he said after some time. "To my home." "Do you mean Tyler's?" I came to a halt in front of him and said, "No, my house." And he kept walking with me. "Where do you live?" "It's about 2 kilometres away." "And do you want us to walk that distance?" He jumped in front of me. "I didn't invite you." "But I just can't leave you alone.""I'm not a kid to have someone look for me." "Did you forget that you and Tyler are being pursued by mysterious men? What if they just appear out of nowhere?" He came to a halt in front of me and said, "Hey, I don't think going to your place is a good idea. What if they're expecting you over there? Will you not be in danger then?" "You're forgetting that I used to be
Lucy's pov;Rupert and Daniel were discussing CCTV footage from that day of the accident. Rupert had caught a glimpse of someone who looked suspiciously in the footage. But while they argued, I noticed something strange: Dean was actually staring right back at me!I felt my heart drop when our eyes met and I quickly looked away, embarrassed by my own behavior. But as soon as Rupert and Daniel finished talking, Dean quickly composed himself and went back to his usual business of avoiding eye contact with me.During this time, I tried to avoid eye contact with him as much as possible and focused my attention on Rupert and Daniel. Rupert, “With the information i gathered, this guy is not in town right now. If we find his whereabouts and get hold of him, then there's a chance of catching him in the act.”Dean, “We can't just do that though. We'll get arrested if we try to get him without a warrant or probable cause."Rupert, “Yes we can! We have nothing better to do! And I'm sick and tir
Lucy's pov;In a bookstore where I was looking for a book related to my topic, I heard someone say, "Sharing a memory with someone from the past is really boring, isn't it?" When I turned to see who it was, Dean was talking to someone from a store near me. Another person replies, "Only if it's bad. Not all memories are bad. Some should be cherished..." I walked away from them and looked for the book in another section. Dean asked, "How could someone like Mr. Ackerman marry someone like you? Has he gone crazy or what?" When I turned around, he was looking at the books in front of him. I asked back, "What do you want from me?" He stood facing me and let out a smirk and said, "I don't want anything to do with you. "Then why are you following me?" He took a book from the section next to him and asked, "Who is following you? I came here to get a book." And started walking away from me. I stopped him walking in front and when I was about to ask him, Daniel came to me and asked, "Di
Lucy's pov;The next few days passed by in a blur as we made arrangements for our second wedding. As the day of the wedding approached, I felt myself growing more and more excited. Tyler and I had decided to have a small ceremony with just a few close friends and family members. The ceremony was held in a small garden behind our home, surrounded by blooming flowers and lush greenery. I wore the same white gown i wore before. As i walked out of the house, i saw a huge crowd in the garden. Didn't i asked him to keep it simple? Why did he invited many people? Jake took my hand saying, "I'll accompany you on the aisle." I was surprised to see him here so I asked, "When did you come from New Hampshire?" "Last night." I looked away from him and asked, "How did you know?" ""Tyler invited me. Hey, don't feel bad. I'm happy to be here at my sister's wedding." Tyler stood at the altar, looking handsome in his suit, as I walked towards him, my heart racing. "Lucy." I knew this voice. I turn
When i woke up, i was on Tyler's lap and i could see we're heading to somewhere in a car. I called out Tyler's name and when he see me, he said, "Don't worry. We're on the way to the hospital. We'll be there, soon." And kissed my forehead. When i looked at my stomach, it was wrapped with many layers of fabric but the blood was still gushing out. With the amount of blood loss, i don't think I'll be able to get better. I held his hands and said, "I have something to tell you, Tyler." "Lucy, please don't stress yourself -" i cut him off saying, "The reason i was scared to confess was that because I'm scared of left behind." "Lucy..." "Please don't stop me, Tyler." I paused and continued, "The people who played the important part in my life left me behind. My mother, my father, my only best friend. Everyone left me behind." Tears began to roll down my cheeks. "But you, Tyler, you made me feel different. You made me feel like I was important and that I mattered. I'm scared that if i t
Lucy's pov;As i was talking with Daniel, Tyler rushed into the house and came straight to me asking, "What happened? Why did you ask me come immediately?" I hugged him and cried in his embrace. He asked while patting on my back, "Lucy, what happened? Why are you crying?" Since i didn't respond to him, he turned to daniel and asked him, "What did the doctor say?" Daniel answered him, "I didn't take her to the hospital." "What were you doing then? Why is she crying? Did you had a fight with her?" Daniel said to me, "Answer him before he threw a punch at me." I pulled away from the hug and looked at him in his eyes. "I'm pregnant," I said, tears still streaming down my face. Tyler's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly pulled me back into his embrace and kissed the top of my head. "That's amazing news, babe," he whispered. "Why were you crying then?" I pulled away from him to wipe my tears and said, "I'm scared, Tyler. I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom. I don't know if I'll b
Lucy's pov;It's been a week since I've been feeling unwell. I get tired easily and I don't know why. Did I eat something expired? I ran to the bathroom when I felt nauseous. Tyler held my head saying, "Lucy, let's go to hospital." I said after wiping my mouth, "I'm okay. It's just something I ate. I took a tablet so I'll be fine." I changed my clothes and laid on the bed. Tyler checked my temperature and said, "Temperature is normal." "See, I'm fine Tyler. Don't worry about me." He laid beside me and said, "If you vomited once again. We're going to the hospital. Period." "Okay."I knew Tyler was right, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. The nausea would come in waves, and my body felt weak and heavy. As I closed my eyes, I felt Tyler's hand on my forehead, smoothing my hair away from my face."Lucy, are you sure you're okay?" he asked softly."I'm fine. Now go to sleep. Didn't you say you have an important meeting tomorrow?"That night, I slept restles
Lucy's pov;I tried waking Tyler but he didn't listen and covered the sheets over his head saying "it's a weekend, babe.""Tyler, wake up! Tyler, Let's go out." He lowered the sheets a little and asked, "Where?" I jumped on him and said, "It's a surprise!" Tyler pushed me off him, laughing, and said, "Alright, alright, I'm up. Give me a minute to get ready." As Tyler got dressed, I went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. I couldn't wait to take him out to his grandfather's house. I hope he won't get mad at me. Tyler came downstairs, fully dressed, and walked towards the kitchen. I had prepared him a plate of bacon and eggs, which he devoured in minutes. "So where are we going?" he asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin."It's a surprise," I repeated, grinning.Tyler rolled his eyes but smiled back at me. We got into the car and I drove him to the outskirts of town. It was a long drive, but Tyler seemed excited. Finally, we arrived at the biggest mansion in that town. It was
Lucy's pov;When I turned the wardrobe upside down, I finally found something in green, it looked nicer than I expected. It is a knee length bodycon dress. Once I got changed into it I paired it with big white drop earrings. What should I do with my hair? Should I do a ponytail or let it down? Finally, I got myself ready for the event! As I walked down the stairs, I saw Tyler enter the house so I called out his name and when he looked at me, he said, "Didn't I say dressing up attracts attention?" "You're the one who asked me to wear green."He walked up to me and said, "You look beautiful in that outfit. I bet everyone will look at you at the event. I don't want to take you to this event." I went closer and whispered in his ear, "But only you tasted me." And pulled away from him. He pulled me closer to him and asked, "Where did you learn to talk like that?""From you." And smiled at him."Do we really have to attend this party?" "Didn't you say it was important?""Yes it is." He
Ch- 139Lucy's pov;At the dining room table while I was eating dinner, Tyler asked, "Lucy, is something wrong?" I looked up from my plate and asked him, "What?" He pointed to my plate and said, "You hate greens, but you're eating them.""What?" When I looked at my plate, I put greens on my plate instead of shrimp salad. I drank a glass of water and put the shrimp salad on my plate.Tyler asked, "What is it?" I shook my head and said, "Nothing." "I won't give up until you say so. What is it?" I sighed and asked, "Can you cut the part I did for the commercial?" "What do you..." I cut him off and said, "I didn't think about the result and signed up for the money, but I thought about it recently. How will people react to seeing me in an advertisement?""If you're still thinking about this scandal, don't worry about it. It's been five years. Who else remembers that?" "I do. You do. Everyone who was involved remembers it." "Lucy, you have to stop overthinking. Okay, let's do th
Lucy's pov;"What are you looking at? Come in." Tyler carried my things into the house as I followed him inside. Tyler took me to his room and put me in his closet. "Why are you keeping my bag here?" He came closer, held my hand, and said, "From now on we will stay together in this room." "Can I stay in my old room?" "No, you stay here with me." He sat me down on the bed and leaned on my shoulder saying, "I missed you too." "I've never seen you so angry, so I was afraid that you would never like me again." "Where did you get the idea to deliver the flowers in the first place?" "Wasn't it obvious? I saw you take care of your garden many times. You take care of these flowers so beautifully. So I knew you wouldn't throw them away if they were flowers. Every time you looked for the meaning on the Internet I sent you flowers, right? When you see or think about a person every day, it either annoys us or we like them. Aren't I smart to use flowers?" "Yes, sending crimson roses is re
Lucy's pov;I didn't think I would get caught by Tyler. Besides, what is he doing here? Doesn't he usually eat at a fancy restaurant? Guess it's one of my bad days. After finishing the job, I got paid and left the restaurant grabbing my jacket. Walking down the sidewalk, I put both hands in my pockets. The weather is really strange. Hot as the sun during the day and cold as ice at night. By the way, what should I buy him for this time? Since i'm running out of money, I can't pay for expensive flowers. Because of that, i couldn't send him a bouquet and sent him only two or three flowers. Let's see if I can find the flowers cheap. I went to the flower shop where I usually buy flowers and looked around to find beautiful flowers at a low rate. Why does everything seem expensive today? Looks like I can only send him two flowers this time. I picked two white carnations and when I tried to give my money to the shopkeeper, someone held my hand. When I looked at that person, it was Tyler. I
