LUCAS POV Jack and I walked into the boardroom with our hopes held high. “I really hope we secure this deal, it'll skyrocket our business and in no time we'll be the best in the world.The door opened and two guys walked in, leading an older looking man who seems to be in his fifties. “You must be Lucas.” The man said, walking up to me with a smile and his out stretched hand.“Yes sir, I'm Lucas Jackson and you must be Mr Lincoln.” I replied as we both took our seats.Jack started the presentation, explaining the process of the project we were about to embark on. “Our company has an orphanage and we believe with your collaboration, we'll skyrocket into the next level.” I concluded the presentation as Mr Lincoln clapped.I gave a little bow, waiting for him to say something.“Well, what can I say? You've won my heart, the deal is yours automatically.” Jack stood up immediately, rushing towards me as we embraced each other.“Thanks so much Mr Lincoln, I'll get the documents.” Jack wal

ALLYSA'S POV “Say something mom, are you just going to watch her do this to us? Invading our privacy and__”“Can you just keep quiet? What are you hiding?” I asked. It was pay back time. If he thinks he did something out there, I'm going to tell him I'll do worse in here. He turned to look at me with shock on his face. He hadn't been expecting it and I'm sure it took him as a surprise.“What do you mean?” he asked, feigning ignorance but of course I wasn't going to back off now. I might as well__“Let's eat.” He suddenly said, cutting my statement short.We ate in silence for a few minutes, just the clicking of fork and spoons could be heard.“What do you plan on doing after now, I mean have you decided on where to work?” Grandma asked, looking at Lucas sarcastically. “I got a job in a huge firm, a fashion house. Victoria Beckham and Victoria's secret to be precise I'll start tomorrow.” I replied as she smiled and nodded.“That's a good one, I'm proud of you.” Mr Jackson said as I sm
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 47: A Brighter Side
ALLYSA'S POV We rode out of the compound in silence and I was grateful for that, the peace and calmness was soothing but sleep was far from my eyes. I felt his eyes boring holes into my face but I cared less.“You can stop staring, I'm not for an auction.” I said rudely, not turning to face him. Who did he think he is? “You're becoming so rude__”“I've always been rude but I tried to be nice and caring but I think you don't need it, you love it the harder way.”“What do you mean?”“Think deep Lucas, I cannot tell you everything.” I saw him sigh from the corner of my eyes and a small smile crept up my face.When we got back home, I walked into the house, up the stairs without saying anything to him, and I guess he got the message that I didn't want to be disturbed.We both changed out of our clothes and in no time we were on the bed, facing either sides. **********************************Morning came too fast for me because I was still feeling sleepy and tired. My legs were st

LUCAS POV “You look happy today, tell me what's the secret.” Jack said as I chuckled. “What secret? Is there a secret to being happy?” I asked.“Not really but yes there's a secret in your case.” He replied looking at me sheepishly. “I'm happy because I got an accolade from my grandma and dad without having to work my butt off.” I replied as his laughter skyrocketed.“You sound like a kid in kindergarten, chill man.”“You don't know what it means for me to get accolades from them, it's a nice feeling.” Just then, the door opened and my secretary walked in.“A gift for you, it came from a dispatch rider and your name was etched on it.”“Alright, you may leave.”“Oh my, you're getting gifts already? Granny or dad,who?” He asked but I had a strange feeling about this.I unwrapped the gift with Jack looking closely.“Who'd send you a gift?” He asked as i shrugged. “We're going to find out right now, aren't we?”“Yeah of course.”The little note read ‘congratulations on your latest achiev
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 49: A Lie
ALLYSA'S POV Long after Ivy left, I couldn't bring myself to leave the restaurant. Was she right? Should I accept this? I picked up my phone and realized I'd just had an argument with my talk buddies, mom and Ivy.I got into my car and sped back home. If no one's gonna talk to me, I'd better rushed home. “You're back, should I set your dinner?” Benny asked.“You can set it once my husband gets back, I'll be in my bedroom.”As I walked up the stairs my mind kept drifting to my activities for today. What was I thinking getting into an argument with mom and Ivy?I picked my phone and dialed Ivy's line, it rang for a while before she finally picked.“Yeah, thought you'd never call.” She said into the phone.“Alright I was wrong, but it's not a daily thing to accept you're falling for your arranged husband, it's delirious.”“The more you keep thinking it's delirious, the more stupid it'd be, be nice, accept your feelings except you want that lady back in his life.”“Do not say such Ivy.”
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 50: Brighter Side
ALLYSA'S POV My eyes fluttered open, taking in the little daylight pouring in. I got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom, going through with my morning routine of brushing my teeth before walking out of the bathroom.I looked at Lucas as he still slept peacefully, snoring lightly. Shaking my head, I walked out of the bedroom and almost bumped into Benny.“Oh you're awake.” I said, sounding surprised.“Yes I am, I was about going to prepare breakfast.” She replied as I smiled. “I'll prepare it, you can just assist, I've got two hours before I go to work.”We walked into the kitchen, my eyes taking in the utensils and equipments, it's actually the first time I was going into my kitchen.“What do you wanna prepare ma'am?”“Anything you feel is right, scrambled eggs, bread, oats, pies and all.”“I'll get the things ready for you.” I watched as she scrambled round the kitchen, arranging everything on the kitchen work table.After an hour,we were done and I left her to go up to my b
Betrothed To Mr Arrogant Chapter 51: Uneasiness
ALLYSA'S POV I waved a cab down and got in, giving him a detailed information on the address. I pondered on calling Ivy but I thought about it and decided to call her after the lunch.I paid for the ride and got down. Of course the restaurant was fancy, something up to Lucas standard.I carried myself in, scanning the place till my eyes made contact with his.“Hi.” I said, walking up to him as he stood on his feet and pulled out a chair for me.“Thanks, you ordered already?” I asked“Yeah, your favorite,it should be here in no time.” I furrowed my brows.“How do you know my favorite? I never told you.”“You ordered a lot of spaghetti, sauce and meatballs during our honeymoon so I caught in on that and decided it was your favorite.” I chuckled because he was being really cute right now.“Well you're correct and I must confess,that's why you're really good with the business.” He smiled.“Here you go sir, ma'am.” My eyes took in the food before me as my mouth watered.“About the welcome

ALLYSA'S POV “Here you go.” Ivy said, passing the orange juice to me. “Thanks.” I said, bringing it to my lips. “You're welcome, you should give yourself a break, this is weighing you down so much.” “Is it?” I asked, looking into her eyes as the flavored taste of the drink went down my throat. “Yeah it is and that should be the last thing on your mind, I know you're having this mixed up feelings concerning him and it's disturbing, you feel like you're giving him your heart too soon and he doesn't even realize it, Allysa you can't tell your heart whom to love but you can live happily without having to think or bother about him.”“How?” I asked, standing on my feet.“Back then it was his cheating, then strange calls and texts and now strange gifts? I feel like I'm contending with an invisible person who's somewhere enjoying the show and waiting for this marriage to crash.”“Would you be happy if it crashes?” She asked, taking my hand in hers.“You know I won't be happy, one for myself
