Lucy's pov;Since I couldn't sleep, I sat by the window and looked at the night sky, a darker shade of blue here, not quite black yet. A few stars peeked through the clouds. I was alone in my room tonight, and had nothing but my thoughts to keep me company. The silence inside and outside of this room was only disturbed by my breathing. The restlessness in my mind didn’t feel so much a part of myself anymore. It was like it didn’t even exist sometimes. It was still there, lurking around the corners, waiting to take over when I least expected it.As the cold wind blew the curtain on the window, it brushed against the edges of my hair and my face. A little static electricity buzzed between each touch. I ignored the goosebumps that came up on my body at its coldness. I didn’t need them right now. Right now I just wanted some peace. Just once, just for a moment. I needed to forget all of the things that haunted my head every minute. I could be numb and unbothered like this and no one
Lucy's pov;I woke up to the loud banging on the door and Tyler made his way into the room holding a plate of eggs and bacon. I could smell the food and my mouth watered. “It's for you, babe” he grinned as he placed it on my lap. I placed it aside and got out of the bed. "Where are you going?" he asked. I pointed the bathroom and said, "To brush my teeth."He nodded his head while smiling brightly at me. What's with the smile and all the lovey doveyness today? Is he getting sick or something? I let out a sigh and walked to the bathroom. When i stepped out of the bathroom Tyler was still standing there waiting for me. I sat on the bed and started eating the breakfast he made for me. "How's it?" he asked excitedly. I nodded and continued eating. "Didn't I teached you how to give compliment or did you forget it already ?!" he asked jokingly and sat next to me. "It's just breakfast. But thank you for making it for me." I mumbled. I didn't even try to hide my annoyance towards him b
Lucy's pov;Tyler and I went to a place where people were having coffee and drinks. Tyler says, "I'll go get something to drink." And left me along with strangers. I looked around for an empty table but couldn't find one since it was crowded. I remembered Tyler saying that he hates places with so many people. How come he likes this place? Maybe it was empty when he visited. Someone tapped on my back and asked, "Looking for a seat?" He was a good looking young guy who's taller than me. I nodded.He showed me a table where there were already people sitting with only one empty chair. I said, "I'm looking for accommodation for two people."He nodded and said, "No problem." And tapped on some guy asking him to squeeze with another. "It's fine. I'll look for another table. You just sit comfortably.""You won't find seats at this time. Take a look around, everywhere is crowded. Come with me." After taking a look, I took a seat at the table he pointed to before. The table had three boys a
Lucy's pov;When we parked his car, I tried to get out but he pulled me towards him and stared into my eyes saying, "Give me a kiss before you leave." "Why should I?""For giving you a ride.""I would rather pay using money than kissing you." "Oh, really?" While he was not letting me get out of the car, someone tapped on the window which made him release his grip from my wrist. When I looked out, I saw Levi standing outside the car. I got out and saw Daniel near the main door. Tyler asked them annoyingly, "What are you two doing here? Don't you have your own house? Why are you coming often?" Levi asked me, "Usually he gets mad after we stay for more than ten minutes but why is he mad as soon as seeing us?" I smiled at his question and said, "Maybe your brother's having mood swings I guess." And smiled again. Tyler asked me, "What are you chit-chatting over there? Come inside." And walked into the house. While I was entering the house, Daniel asked Tyler, "Then what about us?""
Lucy's pov;At the dining table, Tyler served me food and sat beside me and started eating like nothing happened. Didn't he just have a fight with his brothers? How can he look like he isn't bothered by it? I asked Tyler, "If you had work, then why did you take me out? What if they think I pressured you to do it?" "They won't think like that. Moreover, didn't you listen while I was talking to Daniel? I talked with the client yesterday and rejected their proposal. I didn't ask them to come today. They came on their own. Why should I attend the meeting if the proposal has already been rejected? Since I didn't accept, they're trying to turn Daniel and Levi against me using this.""And they did."Tyler shook his head and said, "They'll understand why I did that. And, Daniel isn't someone who holds a grudge for something like this."After a while, I asked, "Still it would be better if we stayed…"Before I finished, he said, "I wanted to be with you. That's why I took you out. Understood?
Lucy's pov;When I came to Tyler's house, I saw Tyler standing outside of the house and looking over at me. When he saw that I had noticed him, he gave me a big smile. "hey." he said as he approached me. "Didn't you say you'll be late tonight?" I asked him as he walked towards me. He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. "Because I finished my work early today, I thought we could go get dinner or something," he explained to me. "Sure." When I tried to go inside the house, he held my hand and asked, "Where are you going?" I pointed at the door and said, "Inside." he shaked his head and said, "We're going out. Come with me!" so i let him guide me into his car. When he tried to start the car, we heard someone shouting behind us. I leaned out and saw Daniel's car coming towards us. As soon as they were close enough, they honked their horns and waved their hands. "Daniel?" Tyler gave me a pat on my shoulder and asked, "Didn't I say he'll be back? But why did he come now? wait in
Lucy's pov;At Mr Anderson's house, I took a seat across from Mr Anderson on the sofa in his living room that smelled of coffee, cigar smoke and cigarettes. He looked at me with concern in his eyes and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but then closed it again. I knew that expression so well now. He looked like he had a lot to say and was worried about how I would react. A maid came and offered me a cup of coffee, Mr Anderson said, "She doesn't drink coffee. Bring her some fresh drink." The maid nodded, left the room quickly and left us alone again. Did Tyler tell him about my preferences? We were quiet for quite some time. Then, the question came. He asked, "Is everything alright?" "Yes. Everything's going well for now. But I'm not sure when things will change.""It won't," he replied immediately. "What?" He placed the coffee cup on the table in front of him and said, "I invited you to talk because I wanted to find out what happened in your life for signing a marr
Lucy's pov;Tyler and I reached home in an hour. After Tyler cleared the dining table once we finished dinner, I tried to go to my room but stopped after hearing Tyler calling out my name from the kitchen. I walked to him and asked, "What is it?" Tyler turned around quickly and said, "Don't take his words to heart. He's just trying to..." Before he finished, I said, "Yes, I know." I cut him off. "You're lucky to get someone to care for you so much. I hope you won't disappoint him and break his heart." He let out a chuckle and said, "To do that I got to lock you up here, babe." And laughed at me. When he noticed that I was staring at him, he asked,"What is it? I was just kidding.""Not fun for me. If you're done talking, can I go to the room now?" Tyler walked to me without saying anything and stared at me while I stood there waiting for him to answer me. I could feel the tension in the air. His eyes seemed like lasers as they locked with mine. He raised his hands and slowly walk
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
