UNBELIEVABLEALLYSA'S POV “I want a divorce.” I heard Lucas say as fear gripped me. My heart shattered before my eyes and in no time, I was wailing. Mom held me to herself, whispering soothing words as Lucas sighed.“It's funny how you pretend in front of everyone but you know what? You cannot fool me, I refused to be fooled. You'll receive the papers tomorrow and as for Ariel I don't intend on fighting for custody, I cannot hurt you in that manner, she deserves to be with her mother at all times, we should meet up to discuss my meeting arrangements with Ariel, I'd love that.” He stood on his feet and walked away as I fell into the arms of my mom.“He's gonna give me a divorce, mom, he's __” I whispered as granny moved towards us.“You must really love him Allysa but what about the pictures? According to him they were sent from your address so what exactly is going on?”“I don't know granny, I didn't send it, I arrived in the states some days back and that's the first time I stepped

I took the phone away from my ear and stared at the number, it wasn't a foreign number and it means one thing.Max is in the states. My eyes went saucer round. “Allysa, how have you been? How's my little princess doing?” He asked as I sighed.“She's doing okay, you're not in Italy.” I said and he laughed out.“You're smart, one of the reasons I like you and fell for you. I got into the states last night, currently staying at a glamorous hotel, where__”“Why did you come to the states?” I asked as my palms became sweaty. If Lucas sees Max, his accusations will become a reality. I need to find a way to make him leave the states.“You don't sound happy to hear from me, what's wrong Allysa? Ah! I totally forgot how's Ariel's treatment coming along?” “Pretty good, thanks but you haven't answered my question. Why are you here?”“Oh, I got a transfer letter from the company, I was asked to choose the country of m

ALLYSA'S POV “Max what are you doing here? How did you get my address and__” “Aren't you gonna usher me in? You haven't seen me in a while.” He had a smile on his face and I know Lucas was just pretending not to notice what was happening before him. I stepped away from the door and watched as he walked into the house, looking around. “It's good to be around you again.”“Max I have a visitor, I don't think it's the best time for us to__”“Oh hi, I'm Max a friend of hers and you're?” He asked, stretching his hand for Lucas to take but Lucas kept staring at his outstretched hand till I coughed.“Okay, it seems you're not ready to respond, I'll be in the living room, where's Ariel?

LITTLE PRINCESS LUCAS POV As I walked out of the house, I got into my car and sat for a while, wondering why I pulled her back. She must have been confused by my action cause I'm also confused. Why did I do that?I finally drove away from the house, heading back home. Everyone wanted our marriage to work but I really don't know what to think. Seeing those pictures and their cozy positions?I sighed and hit the steering wheel lightly.The next morning, I didn't need an alarm to wake me up, I jerked out of bed, staring at the table clock as a sigh escaped my lips.I wasn't late for Ariel's appointment. I got out of bed, quickly freshened up and dashed out of my bedroom. “Good morning granny.” I said, grabbing an apple from the breakfast table as she looked at me skeptically.“Heading somewhere?

DANGEROUS WATCHALLYSA'S POV As I walked back into the hospital, I went straight to the pediatric ward where I left Ariel. She should be done with her treatment by now and of course Lucas should be done with his too.I pushed the door open and found her sitting in between two black girls as they listened to another story.

Mommy?”“Of course you do.” I replied and almost bumped into someone. “You should be careful.” Lucas said as I chuckled.“I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming are you done?
