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 “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

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

ALLYSA'S POV I stormed into the house, tears streaming down my cheeks as Benny almost bumped into me. “Ma'am, are you okay?”“Let me be.” I walked quickly up the stairs, into our bedroom before shutting the door. I cannot bear to face him right now, not at all.I sank to the floor, with my back to the wall as the tears continued to gush out. “Seeing someone?” I asked, laughing dryly.He must think I'm just a joke.“Allysa, Allysa.” I heard him call from outside but I wasn't ready to face him.“Come on just open up, open the door let's talk.”“C..can you just go away? I really don't wanna talk to you right now, just let me be.”After a while, I stood on my feet, unlocking the door before walking back to the bed.He walked in, staring at me, looking helpless.“I shouldn't have said that.” He said, walking closer to me. “You said what you had in mind, nothing else.”“Still, I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry.”“You know Lucas, I sometimes wonder if giving you a divorce would be the b

ALLYSA'S POV “Good evening ma'am.” Benny greeted as I made my way into the house with several shopping bags. “How was your day? I should help you with these.” She said, taking the bags from me and walking up the stairs.“I'm fine Benny, my day was great too. I had fun.”“I'll set the table.”“I'm not gonna have dinner, I'm full you should serve Lucas when he gets back.” I said and she nodded and walked out.Sighing loudly, I placed my bag on the bed and proceeded into the bathroom to have a shower and change. By the time I came out, it was already dark and Lucas was not yet back.I settled in bed, turning on the TV as I began scrolling through the channels.“You came back early.” Lucas said, walking into the bedroom as I smiled. “I sure did.” I replied as a knock came through the door.“Come in.” Benny walked in with a bowl containing fruits as I furrowed my brows. “What's this?”“For us, I'm not having dinner so we should have fruit, she told me you weren't having dinner too.”“Did
