ALLYSA'S POV “Is she being serious? Ferti__”“Allysa come on, what's that?” Lucas asked, walking up to me as I turned around to face him. “Milk.”“Why milk? What for?” Lucas asked, staring at the cup as I shrugged. “She wants me to drink it I couldn't ask her why?” I lied, walking toward the dressing table. I took my jewelries off and walked into the bathroom to wash up.By the time I walked out of the bathroom, he was already in bed, going through his laptop. “Why do you think granny gave this to you?” “I really don't know, but it__”“I usually got the milk when I was little but now it's you? That's not fair.”“You're such a cry baby, we've got to wake up early in the morning, I have to go to mass.”“Don't forget to pray for me, I'll pass.” I chuckled and drank the milk before getting into bed. I guess the relationship is much simpler and better when we act as friends and not as a couple.“So when do you plan on us visiting your parents? We've talked about this.”“And I didn't gi
ALLYSA'S POV “A gift?”He walked back down the stairs, taking his eyes to Benny as she walked down the stairs. “To Mr Jackson, was written on it so I knew it was for you.”“Did you see the dispatch rider? Anything?”“No I didn't.” She walked up the stairs as I smiled. “Stranger sending gifts to my husband, first at his office then his home, this person must be a stalker, or she knows this place.”“How do you know it's a she?” He asked and I scoffed. “What do you take me for?, A fool?”“I did not say that, I really don't know who has been sending these gifts__” realization hit him hard as he kept shut.“The jewelry and this, they're not the only gifts, are they?” I asked, shaking my head. I should have known he'd hide something like that from me, why am I surprised?“Of course they are what are you even talking about, you're acting so high and mighty again and it's driving me crazy.” I turned to look at him, not believing my ears.“Is that what you think of me? Acting so high and mi
LUCAS POV As I walked into the house that evening, I could perceive the tasty aroma of something cooking up in the kitchen. I walked up the stairs and noticed that Allysa was back from work. Jumping into the bathroom, I freshened up and walked out of the bedroom, smiling at myself.The investigator had just sent me a few photos of Allysa getting into her car in front of her work place. He's stalking her really good and she won't know what hit her.“Oh!” She gasped.“When did you get in?” She continued, placing the tray of food on the table as I walked over and sat down.“You were busy so I went up, not quite long.” I replied as she nodded.“Alright I decided to make your favorite for dinner, i asked your mom and I got to know what you love.” I nodded, smiling.She sat next to me as Benny served us.“I've got a fashion show coming up next month, I hope you'll attend.” I picked my fork and spoon, clicking it on the plate.“Of course, I'll definitely attend.” I replied and got a shocked
ALLYSA'S POV Morning came too soon for me and of course he was already dressed when I opened my eyes. “You're up so early.” I said, rubbing my eyes.“Yeah, those files, remember?” He asked, arranging his tie as I got out of bed. “Can I make breakfast for you? Or__”“Good morning sir, breakfast is served.” I heard Benny scream from behind the door as I sighed.“Have a nice day and thanks for last night.”As he walked out, I got back into bed as I was still feeling sleepy.”Two hours later, I walked into the fashion house and met Eva and Khloe talking to a sophisticated lady. She looked like a lady in her middle age, probably early fifties.“We're really sorry, we got the model we're really sorry.” Khloe kept on saying till she locked eyes with me.“Oh I'm glad you're here Mrs Jackson, this is Miss Charlotte, a very influential woman.” Khloe introduced as I walked over to shake hands with her.“Good day Miss__”“Just call me Charlotte, that'd be okay.” She said as I smiled and walked
ALLYSA'S POV “Granny how have you been, it's been a while.” I said, placing the phone on the bed so I could move around to do other things.“Good,good my child, where's Lucas?”“I'm right here granny, I was wondering if you forgot to call us or you just got tired.” He said and I chuckled.“You were clamouring for space a few days back and now you miss my calls?” She asked. I could tell she was smiling and probably sipping her Chinese tea in her favorite Chinese cup.“You know I'd do anything to hear you talk each day.” I rolled my eyes and shook my head. He's such a tease.“Allysa I ordered a dress for you.” Granny said as I furrowed my brows.“A dress? Wh_why?” I asked.“For Lucas party, the one where you'll meet his business investors.”“Oh my, thanks a bunch granny, I cannot wait to see it.”“I'm sure you'll like it, do not worry.”“A dress?” Lucas asked, standing on his feet.“You heard it right, I wonder why she got me a dress.”“For the party, she already told you.” He stressed
ALLYSA'S POV “Can you move those here? And I want those tables over there.” I said, assisting in arranging the garden for the party which is going to start in two hours time. My phone rang and Ivy's name was displayed on the screen. I guess she has arrived. “Hey bae what's the?”“I'm here you know, where are you?” She asked excitement lacing her voice.“I'm right at the garden, I'll be with you shortly you can make yourself busy with Benny in the kitchen.”“Okay, can't wait to see you.” she hung up the call as I continued with my instructions.Half an hour later, I walked into the buzzing kitchen and met Ivy sitting on a stool with a plate of fruit salad in front of her.“Your kitchen is so nice how come you've never invited me for a cooking date?” I chuckled, picking a bottled water from the fridge.“How long have I been married?”“Long enough to invite me over, come on it's so nice, Lucas must have put in so much effort to set this place up.” I rolled my eyes.I felt a twitch in m
LUCAS POV My eyes locked with that of the investigator and he bowed in greeting but I wasn't at ease. “Oh Mr Jackson, your wife's so beautiful, you should come over for dinner.” Mr Allan, a business associate and his wife said before walking past us.I looked at Allysa and found her face constricting, is it really painful? I asked myself, rolling my eyes as Jack walked up to us.“Are you enjoying your night, Allysa?” He asked and she forced a smile. “Yeah of course, are you enjoying the party?” She asked as his eyes locked with mine.“She doesn't look fine Lucas, are you okay Allysa? You look pale.”“ I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about.” She replied and I was grateful for that.“Can I leave the both of you for a while? I need to speak with someone.” I walked away before they could even say jack. That investigator has to leave this instant.“Oh Mr Jackson, come over here please.” That was Mr Rogers and his extra young wife. He was known for getting married to younger ladies after
LUCAS POV I stood still, staring at the screen of the phone. “Aren't you going to pick it? She must be waiting for your response.”“Benny leave us alone.” I said and immediately she walked away. “What are you talking about? It's not even registered in my phone so how do you expect me to know whoever is calling?”“It has been going on for almost a month if not more than a month Lucas have you tried making any efforts to stop the calls and messages?”“Just give me a clue on how to stop it then maybe I'll be able to do it, what do you think?” I asked, turning on my heels.“Yeah walk away, that's what you always do, walking,walk away.” I didn't bother replying her, just continued on my lane and walked back into the bedroom.I dialed the number and her voice greeted me.“Hi Lucas.” I froze a little.“What else do you know about me?” I asked and she chuckled.“That shouldn't be your concern, did you receive the pendant? It has our initials, L and L, isn't it lovely?”“You're clearly insane
