Married to pay the debt Chapter 21
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
Married to pay the debt Chapter 23
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;At Tyler's house, While I was packing the clothes in my room, Tyler walked in asking, "Have you tried the gown again we bought yesterday…" he paused for a moment and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you packing all your dresses?""I'm leaving.""To where? Are you going on any trip?""I'm leaving this house once and for all.""Why? What happened?" I stopped packing and asked him, "Aren't you the one who said to terminate the contract?" "When did i?" "Last night when you're drunk."He rubbed his forehead and sat on the bed as he was saying, "It was just a drunk talk. Why are you taking it seriously?" He took out my clothes from the bag while saying, "Don't mind me when I'm drunk.""Don't you remember what happened last night?""I get my memories mixed up when I'm drunk. Don't worry about it. And, why are you packing your dresses without talking about it with me first?" He paused for a while and looked at me with a stare asking, "Last night, did I do something to you?"

Lucy's pov;After the cake cutting session, the people who came for the birthday party were all sitting in the living room with their glasses of wine on coffee tables, chatting away. Some were looking at pictures they took while others were just staring out of the window and listening to music. Everyone started leaving once the party was over. Daniel and Levi stayed behind and talked with Tyler. Tyler asked Levi, "Is this your plan? In my house?"He smiled at him and said, "Yeah, do you like it?""You messed up my place." Tyler turned towards me and asked, "Do you know about this?" After I nodded, he asked again, "Why didn't you say there were people in our house when we came in?" "Did you let me?" He rubbed his forehead while saying, "I can't believe I let them watch us. They're going to talk about it for a week at least."I moved closer and whispered to him, "Wasn't that what you were expecting since the beginning? I'm sure this will definitely get that old man's ears." Levi, "W

Lucy's POV;"Mr Ackerman... Mr Ackerman, wake up... Tyler, wake up… Tyler…" I woke up Tyler with a soft voice. He looked at me in confusion for a second asking, "What are you doing here..." I closed his mouth before he could say anything. "Shhh... just get up." he sat up and rubbed the last vestiges of sleep from his eyes. When I took my hands off his mouth, he said, "Lucy, what..." I whispered, "Keep it low, ok?" He asked, "What happened? why are you whispering..."When I heard footsteps approaching us, I grabbed his hand and we ran into the wardrobe. I shut the door behind me as quietly as possible but not quiet enough to prevent the footsteps from entering the room. Tyler asked, "What is going on here?" i closed his mouth and whispered, "Shhh!! Someone's gonna hear us!"The door opened and a guy walked in , probably in his late twenties or early thirties. He looked around the room with an angry look on his face. "The bedroom's clear." he walked out after shutting the door behind

Lucy's pov;The next morning, At the dining table, I asked Tyler, "Do you know the cop who came last night? you two talked like you knew him.""I do," he replied. "He was one of the guys from my class.""Is he a friend of yours?" I ask. Tyler smiles and looks up from his food."Not really, he's just another classmate I don't talk to." "Do you think they will catch those guys who broke in last night?" I ask. He nods and says, "Yeah, i'm sure they 'll get them, it'll take time, but I'm positive they'll catch them.""How long will it take?" I ask. Tyler says, "Well... I mean, that depends on whether they get them right away or not, if they're caught then we'll probably see something about it for a month, maybe even longer, but for now, we're safe." and continued eating his breakfast.Once the breakfast was finished, i tried to go to my room but Tyler called out my name and stopped me from going to my room. When i turned around, he gave me a paper while talking on his phone. I rece

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
