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?"

    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;A week later, I asked Tyler as he was preparing avocado egg salad for breakfast, "Aren't you bored to be at home all day?""Nope. What's there to be bored of? I do all my work being at home, have my meetings through video calls, have my secretary inform me about the company's status now and then. To be honest, it's more comfortable to work at home. Most importantly, I have to take care of my mean wife." He teased me and continued doing the salad. "But I'm bored at home.""Do you want to go somewhere? Do you have a place in your mind?""A park?""Park? Like in an amusement park?"I shook my head and said, "Park where we can sit and relax while enjoying the scenery."He let out a teasing smile when I said that."What is it?" I asked. "It sounds funny when you say it with a serious face." He let out a laugh and continued, "Okay. We'll go there after breakfast."Tyler fired the cook because he didn't like his cooking. When I said that I'm okay with it, he didn't listen and

    Lucy's pov;While Tyler was driving the car to home, i checked my phone. There were a couple of text messages from Mrs Smith, i opened it first.Mrs S: You've been busy. I'm sorry i haven't had a chance to talk with you lately. How are you doing? Hope everything's OK in there. I hired a new waitress at our club. She's clumsy like how you were in the beginning. I bet you two will be best friends when you come back. xxx. Along with that, she attached the picture of the club with a message, Mrs S: I changed the backdrop. It was a photo I took of the club, which wasn't a huge crowd or anything, just us and a few others. It looked nice though :) xxxx. I put my phone back into my pocket and looked outside the window. I thought of meeting Mrs Smith but how do I explain about the cast? I promised that I won't fight again, but then what if i told the truth? Or maybe i could just tell her some lies? But that would make me seem bad, i wouldn't want to be that person. Maybe i should wait until

    Tyler's POV;For a moment, I thought Lucy was asking me to sleep with her, how stupid I was to think like that and I smiled at myself. As I laid on the couch in her room, I saw her sleeping on the bed. I thought she was embarrassed of me when she asked me to turn off the lights. But she asked because she wanted to hide her scars from me. Even though the lights were turned off, i could see her scar on her skin because of the moonlight. I saw a scar above her chest and one on her waist. Is there more? How did she get those scars? I remember Lucy telling me that her father beat her up often. Is it because of his father? What kind of father is he? Must be an idiot to beat his own daughter in a cruel way. Wait, is this the reason why she hates the touch of other people? I couldn't ask her anything since she looked nervous about it. Moreover, i don't want to make her remember her past. When Lucy turned, her blanket fell on the floor."Lucy?" I got up from the couch and walked to her. She w

    Tyler's POV;Two weeks later, While i was working in my laptop, drinking coffee, i saw Lucy walking to the kitchen. After that night, she haven't talked to me properly. She started fixing her own meals even though i asked her not to. My phone rang. When i took the phone to see who it's, it was a landline number. I answered it. They said, "Sir, this is KL hospital. We're making a call to remind you that Ms Jones have her appointment today with the doctor James."Appointment? Oh, it's the day the doctor told us to remove the cast. Among this chaos, i totally forgot about it. I replied, "Thank you. We'll there today." And ended the call. Lucy was walking across me holding a jar of water. I called out her name which made her look at me. "We have to go to hospital today to remove the cast. Get ready." She nodded and climbed the stairs. Our conversation shrunk to one or three words after that kiss. Do you hate it that much to the point where you couldn't even see me? Lucy came down

    Lucy's POV;The first day I met Tyler at my club, he was sitting in a corner by himself, nursing his drink, as if it were the only thing keeping him alive right now. He was looking down at his drink, so absorbed in whatever thoughts had driven him here that he hadn't heard me approach and greet him. I stood behind him for a moment, waiting to see what would happen next. But after an awkward silence, I asked, "Sir, liqueur?" and he finally looked up at me with wide eyes and a startled look on his face. His cheeks were flushed red and his hair was mussed, but he still managed to be one of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen, even in the dim light. As soon as I said this though, his expression changed into something more guarded, wary even. He gave me a brief nod, and then turned away from me, his gaze focused on something over my shoulder. He wasn't looking in my direction anymore, he was staring off into space, lost in his thoughts. So much for trying to make conversation.After a

    Lucy's pov;At the clothing store, "I already have many dresses at home. Why are you buying a new one?""This is a special occasion so you have to wear something new and not an old one.""Those are not old."He gave me a pat on my shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go look for the best one." When I didn't move from where I was standing, he tried to hold my hand. I moved back saying, "Stop touching me." His smile dropped from what I said. It was really bad to see him in this state but I can't keep on letting things go his way. He put up a smile and said, "If you don't like this store, it's fine. We'll go to some other store. But before that, we'll check out the dresses here." And headed first. 'Why are you trying so hard?'I walked after him into the store. He was ordering them to show him the most priced clothes in the store while I was looking at him. I wonder what made him like me. I was being rude and mean towards him from the beginning so that he will hate me but I never though

    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
