Lucy's pov;I woke up to the sound of banging on the door. "Lucy! Wake up! Lucy! Have you woken up? Lucy?" I opened the door with my half closed eyes and asked, "What is it?" When I looked at Tyler, he was all ready to leave. I rubbed my eyes to get a better look at him. He was dressed casually. I had never seen him in casual clothes before. And he did look good. He walked in while asking, "Why is your room a mess?" I turned and saw clothes scattered here and there. Shit! I forgot to put them back after picking out an outfit for going out. While I was dumping clothes back into the wardrobe, he asked, "Were you looking for an outfit all night? I thought you weren't excited." And let out a chuckle. After I dumped them, I took my outfit for the day and went to have a shower. While I was in the shower, Tyler said, "When you're done, come downstairs. I already prepared breakfast." And I didn't hear from him after that. I came downstairs and saw Tyler waiting for me at the dining ta
Lucinda's POV;At Tyler's cabin,Tyler placed a bunch of files on my desk and said, "Help me discard the unwanted ones." "How will I know what's unwanted from this?"He pointed at one of the file covers and said, "I've put an x mark on the files I don't need."'If he had time to put an x on a file, why wouldn't he have discarded it by himself?'I let out a sigh and said, "Yes, sir." While I was separating the files with x and without x mark on it, I heard Tyler signing. When I looked at him, he was scrolling something on his phone and sighed again."Is something wrong?" I asked him.He placed the phone down on his desk and said, "Grandfather didn't see the pictures of us going to the aquarium. Efforts we put in went in vain." "How did you know he didn't? Did you ask him by yourself?""No. If I do, he'll find out what we're doing. I know a guy who works for my grandfather. He messaged me that grandfather didn't see it. We should do something bigger than the aquarium hangout." He tur
Lucinda's POV;When I came back to the house, it was dead silence. Even though I lived alone for a longer time, this time it felt different. I didn't have an interest in cooking so I ordered a take-out and sat in the living room watching movies while waiting for it. When I heard a knock, I got up to open it. As I opened the door, I saw Daniel standing in front of me. What's he doing here? Should I invite him in or not? "Aren't you going to invite me in?" He asked me.I moved away from the door and said, "Come in."He walked in while asking, "Your pictures were all over the internet.""I couldn't get you.""I was talking about your airport fashion.""Oh, thank you. Tyler was the one who bought it for me."Daniel took a seat on the couch asking, "What are you watching?" "Just some random shows.""Can I get a glass of water?""Sorry. I'll be back." And went to the kitchen. He said as I was pouring him a glass of water, "I saw you and Tylers send off pictures. What were you trying to d
Lucy's pov; Lance asked me while I was watching television in the living room, "Mam, why didn't you go to the office today?""What am I going to do even if I went there? All I do is clean Tyler's cabin, help him separate his files, get him coffee. since he's on his business trip now, i don't have anything to do at the office so I'll take this time as my holiday." I said as I was watching television while being on the couch and continued, "I can just watch a documentary or something. it doesn't make sense to leave the house when he's out. I might as well stay here and wait around for him to return." I sighed and asked Lance, "If you're free, come on. Let's watch a movie together."He didn't say anything so I asked him, "No movie? what about television programs or documentaries?"He didn't me give a reply so I asked again, "If you're not interested, then say it out loud. Why are you standing still and staring at me?" He asked, "Aren't you bored of watching television all day? You've b
Lucy's pov;On Friday morning, Tyler came back from his business trip. He asked me with a bright smile on his face "Did you find it happy after I left?" "Yeah, I did. I was so happy and went shopping with Lance." And walked into the kitchen. He shouted from the living room, "What are you doing inside the kitchen? Your husband just returned from his business trip. Aren't you going to say some sweet words to me?"I thought he was teasing me but after knowing that he likes me, it feels weird to hear those words from him. He walked into the kitchen and asked me, "What are you cooking?" "I came to drink water." And poured a glass of water in a glass. He took the glass when it got filled and drank the entire water and kept the glass on the kitchen top."What are you doing?" "Drinking water. I was so thirsty you know." And smiled at me. When I was about to scold him, I heard someone walking into the house. Tyler, "Who's that?""How am I supposed to know that?" I asked back at him.He p
Lucy's POV;I came home and went straight to Tyler's room to pick out his clothes from the wardrobe. While I was packing the clothes into the bag, Lance walked in and asked, "When I came to the house, you weren't there and the house was wide open. The security guard said that you left last night and didn't come back. Where were you last night?" When I was about to answer, he saw my cast on my hand and asked, "How did you get hurt? What happened?""Last night, Some guys tried to take Mr Ackerman away so I chipped in and got hurt.""At the house?""No, in some big mall.""What mall?""I didn't get to see the name of the mall since everything happened in a hurry.""What happened last night?""Last night, Mr Ackerman got a call from someone and he left in a hurry so i thought something might have gone wrong so i followed him there and found him dragged away by some guys in masks, i fought with them to save him from them.""Where's Mr Ackerman?" "In the hospital.""Did he get hurt?""Not
Lucy's pov;The old guy turned his phone and asked, "Come on, give me your brother's number." I turned on my phone and thought, 'Shall i tell him the truth?'The door opened and Tyler walked in along with Lance. I let out a sigh of relief after seeing Tyler. Tyler called out, "Grandfather!" The old guy turned to him and waved him to come near. When Tyler came forward, i saw him breathing heavily and covered in sweats all over him. Did he ran all the way here? The old guy pinched Tyler's ear and asked, "Where were you?""At the company." He said while struggling under old guy's grip. "It's paining, grandfather."He let go of Tyler's ear and said, "I know the company is important for you but you're married now. And have a wife. And she's laying on the bed with her hand broken."I interupted, "Actually, my hand is not broken. It's a hairline fracture…"He shushed me and continued talking to Tyler, "From now on, you should be beside Lucy and take care of her till her hand gets healed."
Lucy's pov;While Tyler was driving the car, I said, "The person didn't come in person to talk with Shadow in person. The entire conversation was done through the phone and Shadow said he heard a woman's voice on the other end. What if they used technology to hide their voice? So there's a chance that they might be a man. Or a woman who doesn't want to get caught by their voice. Why is your family like this? Don't they know how to fight face to face?" "Does he really say that it's from my family and not someone?""Shadow said that they mentioned you as their brother. Who else will do it?""What if they're trying to trap one of my cousins by mentioning me as their brother?""Let me ask you this. Does your entire family like you being the first priority to your grandfather?""No.""Does your family like you to be the president of your family's company?""There's some who don't like it.""It's a no then. Do your cousins like the idea of you being the first born?"He let out a sigh and s
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
