Lucy's pov;

After getting ready for school, I came downstairs to see Daniel sitting at the kitchen table. He was staring absentmindedly out of the window while sipping his coffee. I walked in, took a seat next to him and asked, "Where's Tyler?"

He turned to me, and said, "He wasn't here when I got up. Must have left for work early."

I thought, 'He promised to have meals with me but didn't keep it.' I looked down at my empty plate and sighed, then picked it up and tried to go to the kitchen.

Daniel stopped me and asked, "Where are you taking the empty plate?"

I sat again and put some spaghetti on my plate to eat. He gave me a weird look and went back to sipping his coffee. After I ate it, I stood up and said to him, "I'm going to class now." and walked to the front door after grabbing my bag.

While I was putting on my shoes, Daniel said, "I'll drop you."

"I'll take the bus." and walked out of the house.

    Lucy's pov;After meeting up with the student council staff, I came straight to the classroom. When I sat down, Casey leaned towards me while being at her desk and asked, "What happened? Is it about the fight with those bullies?" I nodded. "Did they give you detention for fighting them?" she continued. I shook my head, again, which is when she sighed and started saying, "Well, it's probably a good thing that you did what you did. They should have listened to you instead of getting mad at you.""You agree then?" I asked her."Sure!" she replied excitedly. "By the way, how did they let you lose like that? They're really strict when it comes to our school policy on fighting." "Instead of giving me a detention period, they asked me to join the discipline committee as part of my punishment for fighting back. Since I'm not even a senior, I had no choice but to comply with their orders." She patted my shoulder saying, "It is one of the boring clubs in the campus. Others call it nerds

    Lucy's pov;Tyler, "Daniel, are you picking up Lucy?" "I'm Lucy. Daniel's driving the car." "Oh, sounds like he caught you before me." "What?" "I got off work early today so I thought of picking you up from your school and then we could go home together. alright then, I'll see you at home." He hung up the phone after that. I gave the phone back to Daniel and said, "Now, tell me." "What did Tyler say?" "If you want to know then Tell me, I'll answer you on that." "you're such a pain," Daniel sighed and continued driving without telling me the reason. I asked him again but he told me he ignored me so I gave up asking questions after saying, "You can't always dodge it away." He didn't say anything else for most of the ride as we drove to Tyler's house. He turned off the car engine, hopped out of the car and walked towards the front door. When I got out of the car, I noticed that Tyler hadn't come yet. When I entered the house, Daniel pinned me against the door asking, "Eve

    Lucy's pov;I left the house without having breakfast and took a bus to school. When I entered the school campus, students gave me a stare as I was taking my steps to the main building. Are they really staring at me or are they looking at someone else? I turned to either side to check if someone's walking nearby but there was none. I ignored their stares and continued walking to the main building. I saw Emma running to me and asking excitedly, "Did you talk to that Black eagle gang?" "What?" "Someone saw you while you were talking to the Black eagle gang members and put it in our school group." While I was still confused, Emma pulled her phone out of her pockets and said, "Take a look at this. Is this really you?" When I looked into the picture she was trying to show me, I saw myself with the school bullies. Ah, I get it. I guess It was taken while I was talking with them. But who took it? And why? "Who took this?" I asked Emma. "A first year high schooler." "Did they send thi

    Lucy's pov;The entire car ride went silent except for the sound of the wind rushing around us through the open window and the radio. When I looked at him, he was focused on driving in a way that showed how anxious he felt inside. When it got to the point where he couldn't take the silence any longer, he broke it. "Rupert said he found something." He gave me a sideways glance before turning his eyes back onto the road and continuing. "So I'm meeting him tomorrow. I know you might not want to come with me, but remember that this is about Tyler and not us. I have a feeling that This could be important." Since I didn't reply, he said, "Anyway, if anything goes wrong-" he glanced over at me again - "Are you listening to me?" I ignored him and looked outside the window again. His voice lowered, "Look, it's okay to say no if you're not interested." I just kept looking out my window, ignoring him again. "Only if you speak, I'll..." Before he finishes, I interrupted him saying, "I said

    Lucy's pov;While I was still on the floor right outside Daniel's room, my phone rang. Who's calling me now? The thought crossed my mind as I fumbled for my phone and answered, "Hello?" "Why is my wife still awake?" asked a slightly muffled male voice. It's Tyler. It's like 1 in the morning, babe." "I..." I remembered the CCTV on every floor. If I lie now, Tyler will know that I lied to him when he checks the footage so I said, "I had a fight with Daniel." "What happened?" he asked. "Well, um..." he was always more open than the others so I tried teasing him. "He said some things, but I told him off because of it." "Like what?" he was really worried. "Like saying that we shouldn't have any kids because of the contract!" It felt like he stopped breathing. "What did you tell him?" he whispered urgently. "Well... I just told him not to worry about it since it's none of his business..." there was no response from him, just a slight rustling, then he came back. "Oh.'' There was a

    Lucy's pov;At the movie theatre, the lights went out at once and it was as quiet as a grave. No music could be heard anymore. The audience had vanished completely. It was dark and eerie. Everyone knew that a horror film always began with a blackout. That's when it was most likely to end in blood spatter and screams. Tyler held my hands tight to my body as I stared straight ahead. I turned to him and asked, "Are you scared of horror movies?" He shook his head vigorously from side to side and nodded his head yes. "Then why did you bring me here? you could have taken me to a nice museum or something where there are not many people- Wait... I forgot that you hate being in crowded places. Why did you bring me here again?" "I looked it up on the internet..." Before he finished, I interrupted, "It all makes sense now. I wondered why you took me to the beach yesterday and now we're in the movie theatre so... what place did you plan after this?" He gave me a nervous smile saying, "Um,

    Daniel's POV;After waiting for a long time, I left the house to look for Tyler and Lucy. I didn't need to go that far out of my way to find them, because they're not kids but still the reason they're not home is still making me worry. Did something happen to Tyler or Lucy? Did someone hurt them? What if someone tried to kidnap either of them ?! Or maybe I can ask them about it and find out what was happening with them. So I made calls for both of them , hoping one of them would answer or at least reply back. But nobody picked up, so I just kept trying to contact them. The more it went on, the angrier I got, until finally, I called one of my friends and asked to track down Tyler and Lucys phone number. Minutes later, my friend sent me a location with a message, 'Both the phone's are in the same place.' When I opened the location, it showed me where I had to go, so I headed there as fast as possible without looking suspicious. It was already starting to get dark by the time I arrived

    Lucy's pov;I sat by the window in my room looking out over the night sky , staring at the stars because I couldn't fall asleep with all the thoughts running through my mind. I sighed and closed my eyes. There was no point in thinking about my problems because there isn't any solution to them. When I walked to my bed to lay down, I heard noise from downstairs. I slowly peeked outside my room and saw a light on at the end of the corridor. Who's awake this late at night? I thought to myself and tried to see who it was, but they had put up their hood and were walking away as soon as they spotted me. My curiosity spiked. Why would anyone be walking down those dimly lit halls at midnight? I decided to check it out and followed them. They were still walking when I got to a corner. I hid behind some stairs while they stopped. With the height, I could say it wasn't Tyler since he's taller than this guy. Is it Daniel? I wondered but shook my head and watched. The guy turned around and I c

    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
