Lucy's pov;At the hospital, they didn't allow me since it was past visiting hours. When I tried to leave, "Lucy! Lucy!" Daniel called out to me as I made my way to the entrance. I turned around just as he came out of the stairwell door."Hey, what are you doing here?" He asked. "I came to see Tyler." I answered. "You could have talked on the phone or something. Why bother coming all the way here?" he said. "Yeah but I want to meet him in person." "Why? What kind of questions do you have for him now?" "Did he say?" he shook his head and said, "Nope! I eavesdropped a little." I rolled my eyes and asked, "Tyler… Is he awake?" "Yeah," he sighed and said, "he's been talking about you all day." "About me, Why?" "Because of the question you raised against him. I don't get why you asked him such a question anyway! You know that he likes you, right? Then why did you ask him that?""Well, yeah, but he keeps saying that he likes me because of my honesty which I'm not. If he likes me
Lucy's pov;Matt took me to the hospital where Tyler is recovering from his leg injury. He said, "Tell him the truth." and left me in the lobby by myself. I climbed the stairs and came to the cooridor where his room is. As i took every steps towards Tyler's room, my heart felt like it was going to explode in my chest. When i finally reached the door of the room, i knocked twice on the door. Tyler didn't respond, so i let myself inside the room, which smelled like hospital chemicals. Tyler has a cast that covers part of his left foot. "Lucy!" his face brightenes up when he saw me, but then his eyes went back to the pain as the doctor told him he has to keep his foot elevated for 2 days. The doctor said it will make his recovery easier, because there was no pressure to move his foot around. I sat down next to him and put my hand through his arm. Tyler grabbed my hand with his right hand and squeezed it hard. He looked at me and his face softened. "What are you doing here? You sh
Lucy's pov:The waves crashed into the beach, splashing white water everywhere, as if to prove how powerful they were. As I was watching them, I felt myself being pulled down by a surge of memories. They weren't exactly memories, but they weren't exactly not memories either. They were like...a puzzle piece you find when you're playing video games and realise that it's missing part of the picture. I could feel the pieces in front of me, but I wasn't able to put the whole picture together with the pieces that I had yet. That is to say, I still wasn't entirely certain what my 'piece' was meant to be. It didn't make sense, though. Not even a bit. My life was pretty confusing to be honest. So many questions unanswered, so many problems looming over my head. But I wanted this feeling to stop. For one day at least. Even for just one second. This strange feeling that I just couldn't shake off, no matter how hard I tried. And the longer it stayed there, the more uncomfortable it made me
Lucy's pov;At school, Alex, "I thought you're dead when you didn't show up for the past week ," said with a smirk as he entered the classroom and plopped himself onto the desk next to me. He was one of those kids that everyone loved to hate. The kind that just had no respect for anyone else. I guess we're all like that in some ways. Casey, "How bad was your fever that made you miss half a week of school?" I sighed and put my head on my hands. The bell rang and class began but I just sat there in my desk chair watching them talk back and forth about who knows what. The teacher walked in and started our lesson. The whole time I kept staring at the clock, counting down every second until it hit 3.30pm. When 3.45 came around, I bolted out of the room before they could call after me. While I was walking to the entrance, I spotted Matt standing outside the gate. Why is he here? When I diverted from my way, Matt started calling out my name loudly enough for everyone to hear. It w
After getting out of the car, I walked into the house that was given to me by Ivan. I had been here for a week, and I already hated it so much! It had everything you needed to make a comfortable home but also nothing in common with mine. The kitchen table, for example, would never fit my desk. Not that I needed one. But I could definitely use it. I closed the door behind and laid on the bed. It's been five days since I met Tyler at the hospital. Daniel and Matt have been calling me nonstop since then, too! I've been ignoring their calls until this very moment. Maybe if I ignored them long enough they would stop trying! How am I going to get those documents to Ivan in time? Should I go to his office in person? No, that might look suspicious, but I don't have a choice right now, do i? I changed my clothes and walked out of the house. After some time, I came to Tyler's office. Everyone greeted me as I entered and walked to Tyler's cabin. After checking the CCTV camera
Tyler's POV;"Why didn't you take your medicines yet? Are you a child or what?" Daniel asked me after placing the medicines on the bedside table by the bed. While I was taking my medicine, he said, "I've talked with the board members about your current condition, and they have decided to postpone important meetings for at least three more days to allow you time to recover." I nodded at him. He continued, "Do not worry about your company for a while and take care of your health." I smiled at him as I replied, "Thank you," Daniel sighed heavily and shook his head slightly saying, "I'm just doing my job. Our grandfather would be upset if I didn't. We're family." "Did you talk to Lucy?" When I asked him, he looked away from me, and then looked back at me and shook his head as he responded. "No. She hasn't responded to any of my calls or messages since the last day of the week.""Is she mad at me?" I asked him, frowning slightly. He looked at me and said, "Of course not!" I gave
Lucy's pov;I came to the hotel where Matt is staying and saw Matt going somewhere. I walked to him and he didn't hear me coming up behind him so when I put my hand on his shoulder he jumped a little bit like he was surprised but then smiled at me like he always does when he sees me. "I have to talk to you." I said. He looked at me as if something was wrong with what I said, but he didn't look angry or upset or anything just curious so I figured it must be okay so I said again, more urgently this time, "Are you going somewhere?" He shook his head and said, "No not really, What do you want to talk about? Do you finally have time to go out with me?" I looked around and said, "Let's talk somewhere quieter," and I started walking towards one of the restaurants that were still open. We got to one of those places that only had a few people there and we sat down on a couple of cushioned chairs outside under an umbrella. Matt started talking before I could even ask him about that fi
Lucy's pov;At school, the day was as sunny as ever. The sky held no clouds, just a blue blanket that stretched to infinity. Giving a sign as the summer is approaching in full swing. When I worked in the club, everyday was the same with serving drinks and making sure the tables were always ready to be taken out. It was all bright lights and annoying loud music, but I enjoyed it anyway. I miss those days when life was easier for me even though I had debts to pay. "Lucy! Hey! Are you listening to me?" Casey asked , her voice snapping me out of my memories. "You look kinda spaced out." She said, I shook my head and returned to reality. "Sorry about that," I apologised with a smile, knowing I have an ugly habit of zoning out. "Your boss looked way too cool even though he had that cast on his leg. How can someone look handsome with a cast?" I laughed at the thought. "Is there any vacancy where you're working?" "You don't have to work under him to flirt with him. If you want to, you
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
