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
Tyler's POV;Two weeks later, While i was working in my laptop, drinking coffee, i saw Lucy walking to the kitchen. After that night, she haven't talked to me properly. She started fixing her own meals even though i asked her not to. My phone rang. When i took the phone to see who it's, it was a landline number. I answered it. They said, "Sir, this is KL hospital. We're making a call to remind you that Ms Jones have her appointment today with the doctor James."Appointment? Oh, it's the day the doctor told us to remove the cast. Among this chaos, i totally forgot about it. I replied, "Thank you. We'll there today." And ended the call. Lucy was walking across me holding a jar of water. I called out her name which made her look at me. "We have to go to hospital today to remove the cast. Get ready." She nodded and climbed the stairs. Our conversation shrunk to one or three words after that kiss. Do you hate it that much to the point where you couldn't even see me? Lucy came down
Lucy's POV;The first day I met Tyler at my club, he was sitting in a corner by himself, nursing his drink, as if it were the only thing keeping him alive right now. He was looking down at his drink, so absorbed in whatever thoughts had driven him here that he hadn't heard me approach and greet him. I stood behind him for a moment, waiting to see what would happen next. But after an awkward silence, I asked, "Sir, liqueur?" and he finally looked up at me with wide eyes and a startled look on his face. His cheeks were flushed red and his hair was mussed, but he still managed to be one of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen, even in the dim light. As soon as I said this though, his expression changed into something more guarded, wary even. He gave me a brief nod, and then turned away from me, his gaze focused on something over my shoulder. He wasn't looking in my direction anymore, he was staring off into space, lost in his thoughts. So much for trying to make conversation.After a
Lucy's pov;At the clothing store, "I already have many dresses at home. Why are you buying a new one?""This is a special occasion so you have to wear something new and not an old one.""Those are not old."He gave me a pat on my shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go look for the best one." When I didn't move from where I was standing, he tried to hold my hand. I moved back saying, "Stop touching me." His smile dropped from what I said. It was really bad to see him in this state but I can't keep on letting things go his way. He put up a smile and said, "If you don't like this store, it's fine. We'll go to some other store. But before that, we'll check out the dresses here." And headed first. 'Why are you trying so hard?'I walked after him into the store. He was ordering them to show him the most priced clothes in the store while I was looking at him. I wonder what made him like me. I was being rude and mean towards him from the beginning so that he will hate me but I never though
Lucy's pov;At Tyler's house, While I was packing the clothes in my room, Tyler walked in asking, "Have you tried the gown again we bought yesterday…" he paused for a moment and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you packing all your dresses?""I'm leaving.""To where? Are you going on any trip?""I'm leaving this house once and for all.""Why? What happened?" I stopped packing and asked him, "Aren't you the one who said to terminate the contract?" "When did i?" "Last night when you're drunk."He rubbed his forehead and sat on the bed as he was saying, "It was just a drunk talk. Why are you taking it seriously?" He took out my clothes from the bag while saying, "Don't mind me when I'm drunk.""Don't you remember what happened last night?""I get my memories mixed up when I'm drunk. Don't worry about it. And, why are you packing your dresses without talking about it with me first?" He paused for a while and looked at me with a stare asking, "Last night, did I do something to you?"
