Lucy's pov;

I woke up from my nap and sat straight on the bed to assess what was happening with me. I touched my neck and forehead to check the temperature for fever. It wasn't as high as it was in the morning. Looks like my temperature has settled down a bit. I let out a sigh of relief.

"We should always use a thermometer to check for colds," Tyler said as he stood up from the chair beside the bed.

Was he in the room the whole time when I fell asleep?

He sat beside me on the bed and checked my temperature using a thermometer.

"How much is it?" I asked while he was looking at the temperature.

He says, "Your temperature's normal." When I tried to get up, he stopped me and said, "But take a rest for a while. You're not recovered fully."

I held his hand and made him touch my forehead while saying, "Look, I'm better than morning."

He retreated his hand quickly and said ignoring my face, "Take rest. I'll bring hot soup for you." And left the room.

What's with him? I let out a sigh a

    Lucy's pov;I woke up to the yelling of someone inside my ears. When I opened my eyes, Daniel was in front of me calling out my name again and again. I pushed him back as soon as I saw him. I looked around and saw I was in a different place. Where am I? Why is Daniel here with me? I remembered what happened before I fainted. I clenched my dress as I was asking, "What happened? What did you do to me?" Daniel let out a laugh and got up from the floor while saying, "Come on, let's go. Tyler will be waiting for you." "What did you do to me?" I asked him again. "He'll get mad if I am late…"I walked to him and asked, "What happened after I fainted?" "Are you sick again?" When he tried to touch my forehead, I backed away. He let out a sigh and said, "Nothing happened.""You said a lot of things while I was drunk, you took me to your room and…""And?""I don't remember!""Because nothing happened. I was only playing with you. I didn't know you're a lightweight. I didn't know you'd faint a

    Lucy's pov;At the dinner table, I asked Tyler, "Why didn't you have dinner?" "I waited for you.""It's past 10.""Are you worried about my health?" He let out a chuckle and said, "Time doesn't matter to me when it's about you."I shook my head and continued eating the food in front of me. Tyler says, "And I had a meeting too. Since we were in different time zones, it ended a while ago." I nodded.Tyler continued, "And, I talked with the principal today. He said you can join in a week. One more week to go to school. Are you excited?" "Not excited but scared.""Am I hearing properly? Did you just say you're scared? Can Lucy be scared too?""I'm not sixteen to get excited about going to high school after finishing middle school. I'm nineteen." "Three years is not a big deal, babe." "Everyone will be younger than me. I bet they're going to tease me. Can I get home tutoring instead?""No. Who will look after you after I go to work? You're going to school.""Are you sending me to sch

    Lucy's pov;Daniel and I came to Shadow's warehouse. Daniel asked as we were walking towards the warehouse, "What kind of underling were you? The one who beats up others or kidnaps or murders?" "I steal."He nodded as he was saying, "So a thief. What have you stolen so far? Is it the Queen's crown?" And let out a laugh. I let out a sigh and walked ahead of him. When I reached the gate, the guy who was guarding the gate asked me, "Who are you?" "I'm Lucinda. Shadow asked me to come here to meet him. Is he in there?" "Yes." He opened the gate and said, "He told me you'll be coming today."While I was walking inside the warehouse, the guy stopped Daniel and questioned his identity. I told the guy, "Let him in. He's with me." And the guy allowed Daniel inside the warehouse.While we're walking inside, I told Daniel, "Shadow is one of the scariest loan sharks of Colorado so don't get into trouble with him. For him, everyone's the same." "Is this a warning?" "Definitely." Shadow wal

    Lucy's pov;Before going downstairs, I walked to Tyler's room and saw him working on his laptop. I closed the door and came downstairs to prepare lunch. All I knew was Italian cuisine. Because of that, Tyler's the one who's cooking for both of us till now. I should make something for him. What should I cook now? Let's keep it simple so that I won't make it worse. I searched for some simple dishes online and came across tempura shrimps. What shall I serve it with? Soba noodles? I don't have time to buy it in the store so boiled rice will be perfect. Won't it be bland if we eat only boiled rice? Let's cook some stir fried veggies. Yes! It's easy and simple. While the rice was boiling, I made tempura shrimp with the use of the internet. After the shrimp were deep fried, I started chopping vegetables to stir fry it. "Smells delicious. What are you making?" "Tempura shrimp with boiled rice and stir fried carrots and broccoli." "Wow! Sounds good. Do you want my help?" "Did you finish y

    Lucy's pov;I peeked through Tyler's room and found him working on his laptop. He looked busy with all the files spreaded beside him on his bed. While I was looking at him, he said, "You know that I can see you from here. Come inside." He glanced up when I gave a knock on the door and walked in but didn't stop what he was doing right away. I walked to the window and saw the garden up close since Tyler's room is on the first floor whereas mine was on the second. I said as I was admiring the beauty of the garden, "It looks beautiful from up here since it's closer." I smiled as I looked over the flowerbeds. While I'm looking at the beautiful garden, I felt a warm touch on my left shoulder. I turned around to find Tyler standing beside me looking at the garden. He had a faint smile on his lips as well. We stayed there in comfortable silence until he asked, "Wanna take a walk in the garden?" I pointed at his laptop and files on the bed asking, "What about your work?""A walk doesn't t

    Lucy's pov;When I turned in bed, I saw a figure sitting on the chair watching me intently. I sprang up from the bed asking, "How did you get inside?" Daniel says, "The door was unlocked so I let myself in. How can you be so careless after getting kidnapped twice already? Or are you inviting them over?" I got up from the bed and asked, "What are you doing here? didn't you say we're not going anywhere today?" "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed here." I asked while walking to the closet, "By the way how long were you sitting like that?" "Not so long. A couple minutes maybe. You looked funny so I got curious and watched you sleep." I gave him a stare and asked, "Can you leave my room? I have to shower." "Sure." and left the room.I closed the door after Daniel walked out . I took off my sweatshirt, and took the towel from the hamper. I started my shower and when I was done, I went straight for the closet to wear my regular clothes. But when I opened it to put my shirt

    Lucy's pov;As I was watching outside the window, Daniel asked, "Where are we going to?""Why are you asking me?""Aren't you the one who said you're going out?""Yes, I did. But I didn't ask you to take me.""Alright, where should I drive the car now?"I ignored him and continued looking outside the window."Alright then. I'll decide on the place."After a while, Daniel asked me, "Aren't you going to ask me where we're going?" I turned my gaze from the trees to Daniel and responded, "No I don't, I don't care about this.""Oh," he paused for a moment before continuing, "What if I told you I was taking you somewhere else where others can't find you, in other words, kidnapping you?" I pointed at the fuel metre saying, "You need some gas. Fill it up first." and continued looking outside and said, "And, before making any move, don't forget that I was an underling in the past. Apart from stealing, I am good at making people scream in pain too. So don't fuck with me, ok?""Did you just t

    Lucy's pov;Ivan, "I thought of sparing your life but you know about us. You know about all my clients and my business. How can I let you go freely when you're a threat to me?" I smiled at him and asked, "So you're going to kill me now? ” He looked down for a moment and then lifted his head again. “Well if it was up to me, if you decided to come back and work for me, I'd be more than willing to spare your life." I laughed. "But no, that's not possible, is it?" I looked up and said, "Yes. I'm not coming back." he grabbed my neck asking, "Is this your final decision ?" I nodded in response and told him, "Yeah." He took out the gun and pointed at my head saying, "Fine by me then." I stared at him as he was pointing the gun at me. He let go of it and asked others, "Finish her off!" When he tried to walk away, I yelled, "You had the chance, Ivan. why didn't you just take it?!"He turned around as he was looking at me and asked, "What did you say? Take what opportunity?" I s

    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
