Married to pay the debt Chapter 123
Lucy's pov; I told Tyler the reason for the kiss because I don't want to hide it from him. The only man who is with me in all my bad times. I don't want to lose him either. After hearing everything from me, he held my hand and said: "Let's go home." I pulled my hand from his and said, "I don't want to. Leave me here and go." "What do you mean by that?" “You don't want someone like me. Let's end it here." "What do you want to end?" "A contract, a marriage, whatever between us. Let's end it here." He made me look at him and asked, "Do you really want this to end even though you like me?" "Did I ever say I like you? Why do you draw your conclusions? I don't like you.” "You're lying." I shook my head and said, “No, I'm not lying. You are the one who denies the truth." He held my hands tightly and asked, "Why are you lying?" "I'm not!" I stood up and tried to leave, but he grabbed my hand and forced me to stop. . asking, "Why are you lying to me?” “I'm not lying. I didn't like yo

Tyler's pov;I had been looking for Lucy everywhere, for days now. I had checked her usual spots, called her friends and scoured the city. But I couldn't find her. I asked the private investigator who I asked to find Lucy to see if he had any leads. He told me he was still looking for her too, but had no luck so far. I thanked him and decided to go back into the city to look again. I drove around town from sunrise to sunset, checking everywhere I could think of that she might have gone - parks, restaurants, the bridge, her old job - but it was always the same: no sign of Lucy. My search finally led me to a small cafe in a secluded part of town that neither of us had ever been before. A waitress there said she remembered seeing someone matching Lucy's description a few days ago with another woman. Maybe it's Mrs Smith whom she always talks about. With the connecting flight, It took me three hours to get to Mrs Smith's apartment in El Paso, but it was dark. I knocked on the door and cal

Tyler's POV;"I need to talk to the head of the promotion department. Ask him to come to my office right away." I said while looking at the advertisement for the new brand. Lance replied, "The promotion department went to the location for the shoot, sir." "What about the production department?" "They are in a meeting, sir." "Inform them to meet me after the meeting is over.” "Yes sir." Lance didn't leave, he just stood in front of my desk like he had something to say so I asked, "What is this? Do you have anything to convey?""Your grandfather… I mean, Mr. Anderson is waiting for you in the lobby, sir." I sighed and headed to the lobby. When I entered the lobby, I saw my grandfather talking on the phone. When he saw me, he hung up and looked at me as if he had seen a ghost and stood still.I walked to him and asked, "Why did you come all the way here? I would have gone to the house if you had informed m-" Before I could finish, he interrupted, "What happened to you? Why do you

Lucy's pov;The constant ringing of the bell woke me up. When I got out of bed, the door opened and I was able to squeeze the covers around my neck. A maid came in and started working by folding the sheets. I sighed and let go of the blanket and walked into the bathroom. The slamming of the bathroom door made me jump in and out of the shower quickly. I put on a dress I don't want to wear and went downstairs to have breakfast. I sat with my head down, far away from the family I live with.While eating, I heard Mr Johnson talking, "I'm going to Hawaii tonight for a business meeting. Since it's an important meeting, don't call me until it's an emergency." I continued to eat as he talked about his trip to Hawaii. Jake interrupted him by saying, "I'm going to my friends' party tonight." "No. You're not going anywhere.""I didn't ask for your permission. I'm going to the party if you don't allow me." "I'll cut your allowance if I hear you went there." "I don't care." With that, he left

Lucy's pov;At Jake's graduation, since Mr Johnson was in Hawaii on a business trip, mother and I came to Jake's graduation. While Jake was with his friends, I sat next to mom and watched the stage decorated with flowers and ribbons. Mom got a call and left me alone with other parents. As I watched from the front, someone tapped me on the shoulder, making me look at them. There was a man in his forties who asked, "You look familiar..." I stood up and walked away from the man, only to meet someone else. I apologised and as I tried to leave, I heard them call my name, "Lucy?" When I looked at the person I was apologising to, it was Mrs. Smith. She held my shoulders and asked, "Lucy, is it really you?" When I tried to leave, she asked, "What did I do to see you avoid me?" I stopped in my tracks and stood there not knowing what to do or what to say. She held my hand and took me backstage and hugged me. A warm hug after a long time. She pulled back from the hug and asked, "How are you?"

Lucy's pov;Ms Davis said in a firm voice, "Don't think I'll let you leave you if you haven't eaten or don't go to college. I won't leave you no matter what. So don't be stubborn and eat your food!" With that, she kept the food tray on the desk and left the room. I sighed looking at the ceiling. Three days passed, after that night. Ms Davis took away my phone and cut me off from the outside world on one condition that I should give up on returning to Colorado. She wouldn't let Jake talk to me either, but Jake found his own ways to talk to me. Like jumping inside the window into my room at night. Looking at the food, I longed for it, but I restrained my desire and went under the covers. I have to go back to Colorado. Whatever happens, I won't eat anything. I heard a knock on the window. I got up and opened the window to let Jake in. When he entered, he asked, "How long are you planning to starve like this?" "As long as she lets me go." "Then you will surely die. She is more stubb

~~FIVE YEARS LATER ~~Tyler's POV;"You're blocking the entrance." Catherine apologised and said after moving away from my cabin, "Sir, you have a meeting with Norman's company at 11 o'clock and lunch with Mr. Hamilton. And..." Before she finished, I asked, "Don't you know I don't like to have business meetings at lunch with anyone? How so? How many years have you worked for me? How can you not remember this little thing and keep forgetting it?" She apologised again and said, "I will ask his assistant to reschedule the meeting, sir." And she left. I sat in front of my desk and turned on my computer. Unwanted files and projects piled up in the trash. Didn't I delete them yesterday? I sighed as I opened the current project to look at it. I called Catherine and asked her, "Have you started working on the new brand I asked you to work on? What level is it at now?" "The ad planning team is done with the layout and the production department found the place for the shoot, sir. We're r

Lucy's pov;While I was waiting in the lobby, I saw Tyler heading straight for the elevator as soon as he stepped inside the company. Should I talk to him? "What are you doing here?" Daniel asked me as I looked at the elevator. I turned to him and asked, "Do you think this will work?" He sighed and said, "If you want to know, come with me instead of staring into space." Daniel and I entered the elevator and when the elevator car went up I felt all eyes on me, so I locked my eyes on the floor instead of looking at them. Daniel put his hand on my shoulder and said, "What's on your mind?" I shook my head and said, "I'm starting to doubt the plan we came up with."He took his hand from my shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll help you if anything goes wrong." When the people in the elevator got off on the fifth floor, I asked Daniel, "Can I ask you something?""Yeah, what is it?""We've never been on good terms with each other even for a day. And, we got into a scandal beca

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
