Married to pay the debt Chapter 124
Tyler's pov;I had been looking for Lucy everywhere, for days now. I had checked her usual spots, called her friends and scoured the city. But I couldn't find her. I asked the private investigator who I asked to find Lucy to see if he had any leads. He told me he was still looking for her too, but had no luck so far. I thanked him and decided to go back into the city to look again. I drove around town from sunrise to sunset, checking everywhere I could think of that she might have gone - parks, restaurants, the bridge, her old job - but it was always the same: no sign of Lucy. My search finally led me to a small cafe in a secluded part of town that neither of us had ever been before. A waitress there said she remembered seeing someone matching Lucy's description a few days ago with another woman. Maybe it's Mrs Smith whom she always talks about. With the connecting flight, It took me three hours to get to Mrs Smith's apartment in El Paso, but it was dark. I knocked on the door and cal

Tyler's POV;"I need to talk to the head of the promotion department. Ask him to come to my office right away." I said while looking at the advertisement for the new brand. Lance replied, "The promotion department went to the location for the shoot, sir." "What about the production department?" "They are in a meeting, sir." "Inform them to meet me after the meeting is over.” "Yes sir." Lance didn't leave, he just stood in front of my desk like he had something to say so I asked, "What is this? Do you have anything to convey?""Your grandfather… I mean, Mr. Anderson is waiting for you in the lobby, sir." I sighed and headed to the lobby. When I entered the lobby, I saw my grandfather talking on the phone. When he saw me, he hung up and looked at me as if he had seen a ghost and stood still.I walked to him and asked, "Why did you come all the way here? I would have gone to the house if you had informed m-" Before I could finish, he interrupted, "What happened to you? Why do you

Lucy's pov;The constant ringing of the bell woke me up. When I got out of bed, the door opened and I was able to squeeze the covers around my neck. A maid came in and started working by folding the sheets. I sighed and let go of the blanket and walked into the bathroom. The slamming of the bathroom door made me jump in and out of the shower quickly. I put on a dress I don't want to wear and went downstairs to have breakfast. I sat with my head down, far away from the family I live with.While eating, I heard Mr Johnson talking, "I'm going to Hawaii tonight for a business meeting. Since it's an important meeting, don't call me until it's an emergency." I continued to eat as he talked about his trip to Hawaii. Jake interrupted him by saying, "I'm going to my friends' party tonight." "No. You're not going anywhere.""I didn't ask for your permission. I'm going to the party if you don't allow me." "I'll cut your allowance if I hear you went there." "I don't care." With that, he left

Lucy's pov;At Jake's graduation, since Mr Johnson was in Hawaii on a business trip, mother and I came to Jake's graduation. While Jake was with his friends, I sat next to mom and watched the stage decorated with flowers and ribbons. Mom got a call and left me alone with other parents. As I watched from the front, someone tapped me on the shoulder, making me look at them. There was a man in his forties who asked, "You look familiar..." I stood up and walked away from the man, only to meet someone else. I apologised and as I tried to leave, I heard them call my name, "Lucy?" When I looked at the person I was apologising to, it was Mrs. Smith. She held my shoulders and asked, "Lucy, is it really you?" When I tried to leave, she asked, "What did I do to see you avoid me?" I stopped in my tracks and stood there not knowing what to do or what to say. She held my hand and took me backstage and hugged me. A warm hug after a long time. She pulled back from the hug and asked, "How are you?"

Lucy's pov;Ms Davis said in a firm voice, "Don't think I'll let you leave you if you haven't eaten or don't go to college. I won't leave you no matter what. So don't be stubborn and eat your food!" With that, she kept the food tray on the desk and left the room. I sighed looking at the ceiling. Three days passed, after that night. Ms Davis took away my phone and cut me off from the outside world on one condition that I should give up on returning to Colorado. She wouldn't let Jake talk to me either, but Jake found his own ways to talk to me. Like jumping inside the window into my room at night. Looking at the food, I longed for it, but I restrained my desire and went under the covers. I have to go back to Colorado. Whatever happens, I won't eat anything. I heard a knock on the window. I got up and opened the window to let Jake in. When he entered, he asked, "How long are you planning to starve like this?" "As long as she lets me go." "Then you will surely die. She is more stubb

~~FIVE YEARS LATER ~~Tyler's POV;"You're blocking the entrance." Catherine apologised and said after moving away from my cabin, "Sir, you have a meeting with Norman's company at 11 o'clock and lunch with Mr. Hamilton. And..." Before she finished, I asked, "Don't you know I don't like to have business meetings at lunch with anyone? How so? How many years have you worked for me? How can you not remember this little thing and keep forgetting it?" She apologised again and said, "I will ask his assistant to reschedule the meeting, sir." And she left. I sat in front of my desk and turned on my computer. Unwanted files and projects piled up in the trash. Didn't I delete them yesterday? I sighed as I opened the current project to look at it. I called Catherine and asked her, "Have you started working on the new brand I asked you to work on? What level is it at now?" "The ad planning team is done with the layout and the production department found the place for the shoot, sir. We're r

Lucy's pov;While I was waiting in the lobby, I saw Tyler heading straight for the elevator as soon as he stepped inside the company. Should I talk to him? "What are you doing here?" Daniel asked me as I looked at the elevator. I turned to him and asked, "Do you think this will work?" He sighed and said, "If you want to know, come with me instead of staring into space." Daniel and I entered the elevator and when the elevator car went up I felt all eyes on me, so I locked my eyes on the floor instead of looking at them. Daniel put his hand on my shoulder and said, "What's on your mind?" I shook my head and said, "I'm starting to doubt the plan we came up with."He took his hand from my shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll help you if anything goes wrong." When the people in the elevator got off on the fifth floor, I asked Daniel, "Can I ask you something?""Yeah, what is it?""We've never been on good terms with each other even for a day. And, we got into a scandal beca

Lucy's pov;Someone knocked on the door, waking me up. I brushed my eyes as I got up. Wait, who's knocking on my door? Nobody knows where I live. So who could it be? I put on my clothes and looked through the hole before opening the door. This is Daniel. How did he find this place? I opened the door and asked, "How do you know where I live? Are you following me?" He walked in like he owned the place. I closed the door and said, "I asked you a question, sir." He sat down in a chair and said, "It doesn't matter to a big shot like me." I smiled and said as I walked up to him, "Well, what are you doing here?" "Well, I came for you." "Why?" "The ad planning team is having a little meetup with the newly recruited models which includes you." I sat on the bed and asked, "Is he coming?" "Hold your horses. The CEO of a company does not engage in such activities." I got up and said, "I'll get ready then." Daniel didn't leave, he just sat there like a rock. "What are you still doing here
