Lucinda's POV;

At the dining table, I asked Mr Ackerman, "What if they ask for my qualification? I don't have anything except for the certificate to tell me that I graduated from middle school."

"It's my company and I'm the president. Moreover, you're my wife. Who's going to question you? Even if they did, I'll take care of it." He said as he ate his breakfast and asked, "I didn't expect an antipasto and bruschetta for breakfast. Where did you learn it?"

"Like I said earlier, I learned it while I was working in restaurants. In the beginning, it was weird to me since it was an Italian cuisine but later when I had a taste, it was really good to my surprise."

He nodded his head and continued eating.

"Why didn't Lance come today?"

"I asked him to work in my office since you're not going to be in the house from now."

After we finished breakfast, we headed to the office together.

While Mr Ackerman was driving the car, he asked me, "You said you worked several jobs. Have you worked in any

    Tyler Ackerman's POV;When the office hours ended for the day, I got ready to leave but when I saw Lucy sleeping on her desk, I stopped in my tracks. I wanted to go wake her up but seeing how she looked so comfortable, I decided not to do that. I grabbed my phone and took a picture of her face while looking at her peacefully asleep. I shouldn't have let Daniel into my cabin while you were here, I didn't think he'd flirt with you. How dare he flirt with you? but I was too busy getting annoyed. I'm not going to let him get closer to you if he'll just try to hit you again. I sighed and looked at the cute face in front of me. How could anyone resist this beautiful face? I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts. no need to get jealous over something that doesn't exist yet. I carried her in my arms and brought her to my car. I placed her inside and buckled her seatbelt then started the car. She was sleeping very well like that. I started driving home hoping that she wouldn't wake u

    Lucy's pov;Friday morning at Tyler's company, most of the time he'll be in the meeting room with others leaving me alone in his cabin so i used that time to talk with other employees. Even though the conversation is short and crisp with 'how's your day today' 'have a good day ' 'good morning' it does made the environment good to work at. "Lucy? We're heading for the coffee break? Wanna join us?" Owen, team leader, asked me while i was sitting in Tyler's cabin and thinking about what i should cook for dinner. Since i felt a little thirsty, I stood up from my seat and said, "Yeah. I'll join you."When I stepped out of Tyler's cabin, i saw others waiting for us. Altogether, we came to the cafeteria for our coffee break. Catherine asked me while I was drinking my watermelon drink, "Is there a reason why you don't like coffee or tea? Or you just hate it?" I said, "When I was little, I sneakily sipped coffee from my father's cup and it was really bitter to the point where I started to

    Lucy's pov;I woke up to the sound of banging on the door. "Lucy! Wake up! Lucy! Have you woken up? Lucy?" I opened the door with my half closed eyes and asked, "What is it?" When I looked at Tyler, he was all ready to leave. I rubbed my eyes to get a better look at him. He was dressed casually. I had never seen him in casual clothes before. And he did look good. He walked in while asking, "Why is your room a mess?" I turned and saw clothes scattered here and there. Shit! I forgot to put them back after picking out an outfit for going out. While I was dumping clothes back into the wardrobe, he asked, "Were you looking for an outfit all night? I thought you weren't excited." And let out a chuckle. After I dumped them, I took my outfit for the day and went to have a shower. While I was in the shower, Tyler said, "When you're done, come downstairs. I already prepared breakfast." And I didn't hear from him after that. I came downstairs and saw Tyler waiting for me at the dining ta

    Lucinda's POV;At Tyler's cabin,Tyler placed a bunch of files on my desk and said, "Help me discard the unwanted ones." "How will I know what's unwanted from this?"He pointed at one of the file covers and said, "I've put an x mark on the files I don't need."'If he had time to put an x on a file, why wouldn't he have discarded it by himself?'I let out a sigh and said, "Yes, sir." While I was separating the files with x and without x mark on it, I heard Tyler signing. When I looked at him, he was scrolling something on his phone and sighed again."Is something wrong?" I asked him.He placed the phone down on his desk and said, "Grandfather didn't see the pictures of us going to the aquarium. Efforts we put in went in vain." "How did you know he didn't? Did you ask him by yourself?""No. If I do, he'll find out what we're doing. I know a guy who works for my grandfather. He messaged me that grandfather didn't see it. We should do something bigger than the aquarium hangout." He tur

    Lucinda's POV;When I came back to the house, it was dead silence. Even though I lived alone for a longer time, this time it felt different. I didn't have an interest in cooking so I ordered a take-out and sat in the living room watching movies while waiting for it. When I heard a knock, I got up to open it. As I opened the door, I saw Daniel standing in front of me. What's he doing here? Should I invite him in or not? "Aren't you going to invite me in?" He asked me.I moved away from the door and said, "Come in."He walked in while asking, "Your pictures were all over the internet.""I couldn't get you.""I was talking about your airport fashion.""Oh, thank you. Tyler was the one who bought it for me."Daniel took a seat on the couch asking, "What are you watching?" "Just some random shows.""Can I get a glass of water?""Sorry. I'll be back." And went to the kitchen. He said as I was pouring him a glass of water, "I saw you and Tylers send off pictures. What were you trying to d

    Lucy's pov; Lance asked me while I was watching television in the living room, "Mam, why didn't you go to the office today?""What am I going to do even if I went there? All I do is clean Tyler's cabin, help him separate his files, get him coffee. since he's on his business trip now, i don't have anything to do at the office so I'll take this time as my holiday." I said as I was watching television while being on the couch and continued, "I can just watch a documentary or something. it doesn't make sense to leave the house when he's out. I might as well stay here and wait around for him to return." I sighed and asked Lance, "If you're free, come on. Let's watch a movie together."He didn't say anything so I asked him, "No movie? what about television programs or documentaries?"He didn't me give a reply so I asked again, "If you're not interested, then say it out loud. Why are you standing still and staring at me?" He asked, "Aren't you bored of watching television all day? You've b

    Lucy's pov;On Friday morning, Tyler came back from his business trip. He asked me with a bright smile on his face "Did you find it happy after I left?" "Yeah, I did. I was so happy and went shopping with Lance." And walked into the kitchen. He shouted from the living room, "What are you doing inside the kitchen? Your husband just returned from his business trip. Aren't you going to say some sweet words to me?"I thought he was teasing me but after knowing that he likes me, it feels weird to hear those words from him. He walked into the kitchen and asked me, "What are you cooking?" "I came to drink water." And poured a glass of water in a glass. He took the glass when it got filled and drank the entire water and kept the glass on the kitchen top."What are you doing?" "Drinking water. I was so thirsty you know." And smiled at me. When I was about to scold him, I heard someone walking into the house. Tyler, "Who's that?""How am I supposed to know that?" I asked back at him.He p

The security guard said that you left last night and didn't come back. Where were you last night?" When I was about to answer, he saw my cast on my hand and asked, "How did you get hurt? What happened?""Last night, Some guys tried to take Mr Ackerman away so I chipped in and got hurt.""At the house?""No, in some big mall.""What mall?""I didn't get to see the name of the mall since everything happened in a hurry.""What happened last night?""Last night, Mr Ackerman got a call from someone and he left in a hurry so i thought something might have gone wrong so i followed him there and found him dragged away by some guys in masks, i fought with them to save him from them.""Where's Mr Ackerman?"

    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

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
