-Lucy’s POV-I am trying my best not to cry down on my knees. I have always been able to stand up from all the troubles in my life and I swear to God that what happened now wouldn’t destroy me. I will create a different version of me, the stronger me. I will make sure that Conner will be wanting for more and that he will feel very sorry for everything that he did to me. After the kiss that Conner and I shared, I stood up and said “Why don’t you have some fun dear husband, it’s such a wonderful night. Well, I’m not sure if you can tell but you have two women on your toes. Oh wait! Maybe there’s going to more, I heard you are great with reservations. I’m not quite certain how many reserves you have under your sleeves.” I then looked at Amber “You are quite lucky Amber for having been listed in his bountiful blessings. I’m sure you are quite thrilled. Anyhow, the night is young. I don’t know about you, but I

-Lucy’s POV- I woke up this morning to this very fragrant aroma. I slowly walked out from my room and found Ronald cooking in the kitchen. I felt hungry just by smelling the savory flavor of whatever he is cooking. This man is truly something, not all men can do what he can. I stood right beside him which made him flinch. “I’m sorry did I startle you?” He looked at me for a moment before answering. “I-I’m sorry madam I took the liberty of cooking you a meal. I hope you don’t mind.” I shook my head and wore a disappointed face which made Ronald uneasy “I-I’m so sorry madam. I promise to ask permission from you again. I-I didn’t like waking you up because I want you to have a good rest. I-” I placed my finger over his lips and said, “That’s not what I am disappointed about.” Ronald wore a confused look. I crossed my arms and interrogated him. “What did you call me again? I specifically told you not to call me this way again. Did you forget what I said last night? Come on, say it.” Rona

-Conner’s POV- Over the years I have taught myself to keep my distance. My past almost consumed me that I thought I wouldn’t be able to move forward because of it until Lucy came to the picture. I remember how her tears rolled down her soft cheeks while I tried stopping her from drowning herself and when I looked into her eyes, I never felt so alive even though we were in a kind of horrific situation. I can see the depth of her soul and I knew then and there that this woman is pure. Looking at her now though with Ronald and hearing her praises to him is making me go out of my wits even though I know that she is just acting and trying her best to make me feel jealous. Wow! Look at you Mr. Lowell! How time flew! You’ve become a very confident man. How certain are you that she is trying to make you jealous? Can’t you just admit to yourself that you are jealous because you feel something for this woman? I hate to admit that I am jealous. Haven’t had this feeling with the other women I dat

-Conner’s POV-I don’t know where to start. Things are getting a bit complicated, but the very thing that I am very worried about is the safety of my wife. Why did this have to happen when everything was starting to go smoothly between Lucy and I. I made a deep sigh as I looked at the picture of the mysterious man Amber was with from the CCTV footage  “Who are you and what do you want from me?” I was looking at the picture intently when my mind pranced back to the moment when I first saw Lucy. I recall how her face flushed when she saw the scars at my back, her warmth when she embraced me and the twinkle in her eyes, those eyes that mesmerized me from its very first glance. I haven’t seen those eyes twinkle again. “When will I see your eyes twinkle again?” I asked myself out loud “Whose eyes are we talking about?” Uncle Jack interrupted. I was too absorbed with my thoughts that I didn’t notice his arrival. &ldqu

-Lucy’s POV-These past few days I have been feeling awfully down and sick. I have been complaining to Ronald how my stomach is burning especially when I eat. Ronald kept telling me to let Conner know and have myself checked, but I refused. I just responded by saying that we don’t have enough time and we have to focus on the project for its premier. I haven’t had enough sleep nor rest because I want everything noted down for the success of this project. This means a lot to me because our family business has been my source of living. This is what’s keeping my family moving and without it we won’t have anything. This is the very reason why I married Conner in the first place. In the course of our marriage I am saving up money for I will never know when this contract marriage will end. I have to be a step forward and be ready for whatever happens.I opened my eyes and realized that I was in the hospital. I felt a warmth from my right hand and
