All Chapters of Unholy Matrimony : Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Elizabeth's Pov I stood at the top of the stairs, looking around the massive living room. The living room was bigger than that of any penthouse I had visited. Everything looked expensive; even the decorations looked like they cost more than the penthouse itself. I guess Lucas did have good taste after all.I walked towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window and pulled the curtain aside. My mouth fell open at the breathtaking view. The city stretched endlessly beneath me and tiny cars moved along the road and disappeared into the distance. I pressed my palm against the glass. “Wow.”I could get used to this. I shook my head quickly. No. I couldn't get used to anything here. In two years, I would walk out of this place and out of Lucas Hayes’s life, so there was no point getting attached. I let the curtain fall and continued my tour. The kitchen was the next thing that caught my attention. It was enormous. Cabinets lined the walls and a marble island sat in the middle. I op

Elizabeth's Pov The moment I stepped inside the house, I regretted agreeing to Pearl's invitation. Not because of her, but because of him. I didn't want to be rude or unfriendly when I met her at the mall. She was nice to me and even asked how I was. She seemed cool, so I went with her flow.She asked us to chat over a cup of coffee at her house, and I accepted. Maybe I shouldn't have. But he wasn't supposed to be here, he was still supposed to be at the penthouse. Why was he here?He was standing by the window with a glass of wine in his hand, his eyes locked on mine. “Please have a seat. You are welcome to my home,” Pearl said, breaking the awkward silence.“Thank you,” I said to her before taking my seat. “I will get you something to drink,” Pearl smiled before walking toward the kitchen.“Water is fine,”“Are you sure?” She stopped and asked me. “For now,” I said and she nodded before disappearing into the kitchen. “Hi, I am Justin, Lucas's best friend. I don't know if he

Elizabeth's PovThe sound of someone whispering was the first thing I heard as I opened my eyes. I blinked my eyes and focused on the person pacing. It was Jason. He was pacing with his phone against his ear, while talking. “Lizzy.” I heard Ella's voice and turned towards where her voice came from. “You are awake,” she said. “How are you feeling? Should I call the doctor?” she asked, the look of worry on her face. “I am fine,” I said slowly. “Let me call the doctor,” Jason said, already beside Ella. I wanted to tell him not to call the doctor but I knew he wasn't going to listen. I tried sitting up but Ella pushed me back to the bed. “Don't move until the doctor comes,”I groaned but stayed back on the bed. This is why I don't like it when I am sick. They do this anytime, even when I catch the flu.Thank God Dad and Mum aren't here. It would have been worse by now. They would have turned the penthouse into a hospital by bringing the entire hospital to the house.Why are they

Elizabeth's Pov I stared at the plate of pasta Ella set in front of me, and my stomach growled. After crying in Ella's arms while she comforted me, she made me food, knowing I would be hungry.I am very grateful for a sister like her. I dug in almost immediately, and within minutes I was done with the plate. “You want more?” Ella asked from where she sat, watching me eat. “There is more?” I asked. “Yes,” she said and stood up. “Have you eaten?” I asked her, and she shook her head. “I need to feed you first. You need energy.” She took my plate and went over to the pot. She put more pasta on my plate and placed it back in front of me, but I pushed it back to her. “Eat first.”“Lizzy.” “Don't forget yourself while trying to feed me. If anything happens to you, who will take care of me?” She laughed and sat down, eating. When she was done eating, we moved to the sitting room couch where I put my head on her thigh while she patted my head. “Ella,” I called her after minutes of

Elizabeth's Pov “I am outside already, Mum. I was waiting for Lucas, but he couldn't make it. You will see me in five seconds.” I said, entering the living room and walking to the dining room. I heard voices. Did Dad invite people? I thought, but halted. Three pairs of eyes turned to look at me as I entered the room. But my attention was on one: Lucas. He wore a suit, his jacket gone, and his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows. I hadn't seen him for over two days, and he looked different to me. “Princess, you are welcome. Come and have your seat,” My Dad's voice broke the tense air in the room. I took my eyes off him and went over to my Mum, kissing her on her cheeks before going over to my Dad and kissing his cheeks too.I took a seat next to my Mum, which made my Dad make a sound of disapproval, but I didn't care. “You started dinner before me. You couldn't even wait till I reached.”“You were running late, and Lucas came around; we couldn't keep the busy man waiting,” Mu
