Lucy's pov;I came downstairs and saw Tyler sitting in his usual spot on the couch with his laptop open and he was staring at it like it was about to start talking to him or something. He looked up when I walked through the door, "Do you want something?" he asked. "I came for some water." I answered and went over to the kitchen. He got up from the couch and grabbed a glass before I did and gave it to me. I let out a sigh and said while showing my hands, "It's not like my hands don't have the capacity of holding that much water, Mr Ackerman." and kept the glass near the counter after drinking the water from it. Since Tyler didn't move and stood still staring at me, I asked, "What is it?" "Nothing," he shook his head and started heading toward the living room without saying anything further and then he stopped, turned around and said to me , "I'm going upstairs for a bit." and then he left with his laptop. I watched him until he disappeared and then walked out of the house and
Lucy's pov;"Sneak this into Tyler's cabin." The guy, who broke in that day at Tyler's house, in front of me handed over something and then turned away to leave. I jumped in front of him and said, "I won't." and gave that piece of spy gear back to him. He just rolled his eyes at me and said, "You don't have a choice." he pointed at me and said, "You're doing it. period." and put it back into my coat and started walking away from me. I shouted, "I'm his wife. How dare you ask me to do such a thing to him? I'm going to the cops!" He turned and walked towards me again and stopped when he was an arm's length away from me because people started coming our way to the platform. He grabbed my hand and took me with him as he tried to walk past the crowd. Once we were alone, I snatched my hand from his and said, "Stop touching me!" He pinned me against the wall and said, "Listen," and looked into my eyes, "You're going to do whatever i tell you whether you like it or not." he gave me a sm
Lucy's pov;As I walked on the pavement thinking about the conversation I had with Ivan and the way he acted towards me, it all looked different than before. He looked like a completely different person, not just in personality or behaviour, but also in how he behaved. Why did he try to save that guy from me? I'm sure he's the one who kidnapped me but why did Ivan try to protect him by giving an stupid explanation? Did he think I was going to do something to him? When I came near Tyler's house, I stopped walking and stared at the house. I let out a heavy breath and turned away from walking to Tyler's house and headed for the park nearby. It wasn't that far off from there. I sat down at the park bench and put my head into my hands thinking about Ivan. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw someone sitting down next to me. They weren't too close though, they still kept a good distance between us. I glanced up and realised they had a baseball cap covering their face. As I got closer
Lucy's pov;As i was setting up the dining table with food i prepared, Tyler took a seat while asking, "Why did you ordered lot of food? Did you invite someone?" I placed the plate in front of him and said, "Firstly, it's only us. I didn't invite anyone. Secondly, I didn't order. I made this by myself."He gave me a surprised stare and asked, "Didn't you say you only know Italian cuisine? then how?" "Haven't you heard about Ftube? There's everything in it for everyone." I took a seat across from him and said, "Now that I think about it, what are you going to do tomorrow?"He took a bite from his plate and asked, "What about tomorrow?" "It's New year. Aren't you the one who's been excited about it since Christmas?" "Oh, right. I forgot that because of some work." and continued eating. "Hey! I've been watching you working all day and it continues past midnight too. What happened at the company?""You know that my company is in bankruptcy right?" "yeah." "Because of the bankruptcy
Lucy's pov;Tyler took me to a fancy restaurant to celebrate the joy of getting his company back. While we're eating, I asked him, "Didn't you say you have a meeting to attend? how did you get time to meet Mr Anderson in your busy schedule?"His expression changed from happiness at getting his company back to sadness, and then back again, before saying, "I really had an important meeting to attend. I didn't lie about the meeting." Then it went neutral as he looked down into his drink. Did he think I got mad at him for meeting his grandfather? uff! I just want to know what they talked about. How can I ask him what they talked about? I came straight home after talking with Mr Anderson. Tyler came home not less than ten minutes after me. There's no chance of them meeting in person in such a short period of time. When I looked at Tyler, he was eating the food in front of him without a care in the world. "Tyler," I said, trying to be as calm as possible. "How did the meeting go?" He loo
Lucy's pov;When I came to the house, I tried to go to my room but Tyler asked me to stop and said, "I'll inform you once the dinner is ready." And walked to the kitchen.I wonder how he can stay calm even after I've been mean to him. Is he trying to resist me? If he is, then let's see how much he can resist me? I came to my room and dropped on the bed staring at the ceiling. Because of Tyler, I happened to remember that guy after a long time. It was my first time visiting his tombstone today. At the hospital, when they asked me to sign the burial process, that was the last time I saw him lying dead covered by a cloth over him. I didn't even go to his funeral to see him off when the people who organised it invited me. Even though he gambled and beat me for silly things when he's drunk, he never gave up on me at any time. Even though he was chased by those loan sharks, he didn't let go of me. He had many chances of abandoning me but he didn't. He kept me with him.Why am I thinking ab
Lucy's pov;I woke up to the headache to the point where I couldn't bear the pain. Why is it hurting so much? I then remembered drinking a whole bottle of wine last night. Shit! Is this how it feels after getting drunk? I hate drinking! I'm never doing it again!! Tyler walked in and placed a glass on the table beside me saying, "Take it. It'll help you with the Hangover." When he tried to leave, I asked, "Did I bother you last night? If I did, I apologise for that.""It's alright. Everyone breaks down at some point. Yesterday was yours. Apart from throwing a bottle on the floor, you didn't do anything harmful." When I tried to get up, he asked, "Where are you going?""To clean the mess I made."He let out a chuckle and said, "I cleared out last night.""Sorry for troubling you.""What's with you today? You've been apologising to me since you woke up. Get up and take a shower." And let out a chuckle."I hated alcohol all my life but still I went for it in the end. I never thought I'd
Lucy's pov;After finishing dinner, when I tried to go to my room, Tyler asked if we could talk in the living room before going to bed. I knew that he wouldn't have come up to me unless there was something important. We sat on the couch. We didn't say much for a while. He was obviously struggling with what to say, so I waited and waited. Finally he finally blurted out, "Do you think we can start dating?""What?" I stammered, "Why would we-"Tyler cut me off by saying, "I know you don't want us to. But what's wrong with trying it? It might help. Plus... I like you." He looked down at his lap. "And we don't have to do this dating for a long time. Only until you start going to school. what are you saying?"He sounded sincere, but I was still caught off guard. I couldn't quite make sense of everything that he just said. My mind kept replaying the scene where he had told me he liked me over and over again, and each repetition made it even more confusing. This wasn't part of the plan. Yea
