Lucy's POV;Sweating woke me up from my sleep in the middle of the night and I couldn’t fall back asleep. I rolled out of bed and grabbed my phone off my dresser to see if Tyler was awake. After a moment I realised it was still dark outside and that no one else would be awake. When i checked the time it was nearly four AM.I groaned and got out of bed to go down stairs. I needed some water. I didn't realise how tired I was until I had drunk almost all of it. Once I finished with that I grabbed a couple granola bars and headed for the kitchen. As I sat at the kitchen table sipping on a glass of juice, my mind wandered to what had woken me up. It felt like someone was watching me, but I knew there wasn’t anyone there. Then it occurred to me that maybe that was just my paranoia talking and I put my glass down. The doorbell rang and startled me. I looked around wondering who could have possibly been here this late. When I opened the door there was a man standing there. I thought he l
Lucy's pov;I walked into Tyler's cabin and saw him working seriously at his desk, as usual. I took a seat at my desk and saw a bunch of files on it. While I was figuring it out, Tyler said, "Discard all the unwanted ones , please." I nodded and did just that before he looked up, noticing me sitting there. He gave me a little smile and asked, "Can I help you?" His voice was always gentle.I shook my head and said, "It's fine."After separating the files, a single document was left on top of the others. When I opened it, it was titled “Project: Project Report.” The content was sparse. It only contained two names: John Fenton and Mark Drake. Maybe it's one of those important documents. I kept it in the drawers and carried the unwanted files to the document room. I had my reasons to be concerned with it. The file was labelled "Project: Project Report". There weren't any names attached to them. I wondered who they were. Was it someone from the government? Someone from the CIA? I shrugg
Lucy's pov;While I was looking at the password bar on the computer figuring out the password, the cabin door opened and Tyler walked in and asked after seeing me standing in front of his computer, "What are you doing with my computer?" he said as usual. He didn't look angry or anything but it seemed like a normal thing to ask about someone's computer when they're sitting in it with them. But I know he means no harm so I'm not really bothered by the question. I quickly turned off the computer and showed the files which were lying on his desk earlier saying, "I'm organising your desk .""You could do that later, right now we have business to attend to." and walked into the cabin. "What is it?" I asked curiously. He pulled out an old black bag. "I have an important meeting with one of my clients this afternoon that requires all my attention for several hours." "Why do you need me there?" I asked as I got up from my seat and walked closer to him. He didn't reply directly. Instead
Lucy's pov;I woke up to the feeling of something heavy pressed on my chest. I shifted a bit and tried to look around only to realise there was no one in sight. I was in my room at Tyler's house, but I couldn’t recall falling asleep here. I saw my hands being wrapped up in bandages and felt them sting from how tight they were, and suddenly remembered what had happened last night. The face of the man who kidnapped me filled my mind. He was tall, thin with pale skin, and his face had been twisted into an expression of pure hatred. He looked young, probably somewhere near the age of thirty or forty, judging by his features. His eyes were dark blue, almost black and looked like he hadn’t slept at all. The way he talked didn't make him sound much older, either. What did he want with me? I then remembered what he said to me. 'Follow his instructions once I get to Tyler's house.' Who was he? I didn't remember seeing him at Mr Anderson's house during Christmas dinner. I wonder how many peo
Lucy's pov;I came downstairs and saw Tyler sitting in his usual spot on the couch with his laptop open and he was staring at it like it was about to start talking to him or something. He looked up when I walked through the door, "Do you want something?" he asked. "I came for some water." I answered and went over to the kitchen. He got up from the couch and grabbed a glass before I did and gave it to me. I let out a sigh and said while showing my hands, "It's not like my hands don't have the capacity of holding that much water, Mr Ackerman." and kept the glass near the counter after drinking the water from it. Since Tyler didn't move and stood still staring at me, I asked, "What is it?" "Nothing," he shook his head and started heading toward the living room without saying anything further and then he stopped, turned around and said to me , "I'm going upstairs for a bit." and then he left with his laptop. I watched him until he disappeared and then walked out of the house and
Lucy's pov;"Sneak this into Tyler's cabin." The guy, who broke in that day at Tyler's house, in front of me handed over something and then turned away to leave. I jumped in front of him and said, "I won't." and gave that piece of spy gear back to him. He just rolled his eyes at me and said, "You don't have a choice." he pointed at me and said, "You're doing it. period." and put it back into my coat and started walking away from me. I shouted, "I'm his wife. How dare you ask me to do such a thing to him? I'm going to the cops!" He turned and walked towards me again and stopped when he was an arm's length away from me because people started coming our way to the platform. He grabbed my hand and took me with him as he tried to walk past the crowd. Once we were alone, I snatched my hand from his and said, "Stop touching me!" He pinned me against the wall and said, "Listen," and looked into my eyes, "You're going to do whatever i tell you whether you like it or not." he gave me a sm
Lucy's pov;As I walked on the pavement thinking about the conversation I had with Ivan and the way he acted towards me, it all looked different than before. He looked like a completely different person, not just in personality or behaviour, but also in how he behaved. Why did he try to save that guy from me? I'm sure he's the one who kidnapped me but why did Ivan try to protect him by giving an stupid explanation? Did he think I was going to do something to him? When I came near Tyler's house, I stopped walking and stared at the house. I let out a heavy breath and turned away from walking to Tyler's house and headed for the park nearby. It wasn't that far off from there. I sat down at the park bench and put my head into my hands thinking about Ivan. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw someone sitting down next to me. They weren't too close though, they still kept a good distance between us. I glanced up and realised they had a baseball cap covering their face. As I got closer
Lucy's pov;As i was setting up the dining table with food i prepared, Tyler took a seat while asking, "Why did you ordered lot of food? Did you invite someone?" I placed the plate in front of him and said, "Firstly, it's only us. I didn't invite anyone. Secondly, I didn't order. I made this by myself."He gave me a surprised stare and asked, "Didn't you say you only know Italian cuisine? then how?" "Haven't you heard about Ftube? There's everything in it for everyone." I took a seat across from him and said, "Now that I think about it, what are you going to do tomorrow?"He took a bite from his plate and asked, "What about tomorrow?" "It's New year. Aren't you the one who's been excited about it since Christmas?" "Oh, right. I forgot that because of some work." and continued eating. "Hey! I've been watching you working all day and it continues past midnight too. What happened at the company?""You know that my company is in bankruptcy right?" "yeah." "Because of the bankruptcy
