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
Lucy's POV;I came home and went straight to Tyler's room to pick out his clothes from the wardrobe. While I was packing the clothes into the bag, Lance walked in and asked, "When I came to the house, you weren't there and the house was wide open. 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?" "In the hospital.""Did he get hurt?""Not
Lucy's pov;The old guy turned his phone and asked, "Come on, give me your brother's number." I turned on my phone and thought, 'Shall i tell him the truth?'The door opened and Tyler walked in along with Lance. I let out a sigh of relief after seeing Tyler. Tyler called out, "Grandfather!" The old guy turned to him and waved him to come near. When Tyler came forward, i saw him breathing heavily and covered in sweats all over him. Did he ran all the way here? The old guy pinched Tyler's ear and asked, "Where were you?""At the company." He said while struggling under old guy's grip. "It's paining, grandfather."He let go of Tyler's ear and said, "I know the company is important for you but you're married now. And have a wife. And she's laying on the bed with her hand broken."I interupted, "Actually, my hand is not broken. It's a hairline fracture…"He shushed me and continued talking to Tyler, "From now on, you should be beside Lucy and take care of her till her hand gets healed."
Lucy's pov;While Tyler was driving the car, I said, "The person didn't come in person to talk with Shadow in person. The entire conversation was done through the phone and Shadow said he heard a woman's voice on the other end. What if they used technology to hide their voice? So there's a chance that they might be a man. Or a woman who doesn't want to get caught by their voice. Why is your family like this? Don't they know how to fight face to face?" "Does he really say that it's from my family and not someone?""Shadow said that they mentioned you as their brother. Who else will do it?""What if they're trying to trap one of my cousins by mentioning me as their brother?""Let me ask you this. Does your entire family like you being the first priority to your grandfather?""No.""Does your family like you to be the president of your family's company?""There's some who don't like it.""It's a no then. Do your cousins like the idea of you being the first born?"He let out a sigh and s
Lucy's pov;A week later, I asked Tyler as he was preparing avocado egg salad for breakfast, "Aren't you bored to be at home all day?""Nope. What's there to be bored of? I do all my work being at home, have my meetings through video calls, have my secretary inform me about the company's status now and then. To be honest, it's more comfortable to work at home. Most importantly, I have to take care of my mean wife." He teased me and continued doing the salad. "But I'm bored at home.""Do you want to go somewhere? Do you have a place in your mind?""A park?""Park? Like in an amusement park?"I shook my head and said, "Park where we can sit and relax while enjoying the scenery."He let out a teasing smile when I said that."What is it?" I asked. "It sounds funny when you say it with a serious face." He let out a laugh and continued, "Okay. We'll go there after breakfast."Tyler fired the cook because he didn't like his cooking. When I said that I'm okay with it, he didn't listen and
Lucy's pov;While Tyler was driving the car to home, i checked my phone. There were a couple of text messages from Mrs Smith, i opened it first.Mrs S: You've been busy. I'm sorry i haven't had a chance to talk with you lately. How are you doing? Hope everything's OK in there. I hired a new waitress at our club. She's clumsy like how you were in the beginning. I bet you two will be best friends when you come back. xxx. Along with that, she attached the picture of the club with a message, Mrs S: I changed the backdrop. It was a photo I took of the club, which wasn't a huge crowd or anything, just us and a few others. It looked nice though :) xxxx. I put my phone back into my pocket and looked outside the window. I thought of meeting Mrs Smith but how do I explain about the cast? I promised that I won't fight again, but then what if i told the truth? Or maybe i could just tell her some lies? But that would make me seem bad, i wouldn't want to be that person. Maybe i should wait until
Tyler's POV;For a moment, I thought Lucy was asking me to sleep with her, how stupid I was to think like that and I smiled at myself. As I laid on the couch in her room, I saw her sleeping on the bed. I thought she was embarrassed of me when she asked me to turn off the lights. But she asked because she wanted to hide her scars from me. Even though the lights were turned off, i could see her scar on her skin because of the moonlight. I saw a scar above her chest and one on her waist. Is there more? How did she get those scars? I remember Lucy telling me that her father beat her up often. Is it because of his father? What kind of father is he? Must be an idiot to beat his own daughter in a cruel way. Wait, is this the reason why she hates the touch of other people? I couldn't ask her anything since she looked nervous about it. Moreover, i don't want to make her remember her past. When Lucy turned, her blanket fell on the floor."Lucy?" I got up from the couch and walked to her. She w
