Chapter 56

Book:Broken and Pregnant Published:2024-5-1

Lucy was hesitant at first but Gela told her that their marriage will be fake and he will provide rules in their relationship. As long as nobody contact and strings attached, their deal will be safe.
“Deal?” Gale confirmed it to Lucy while raising his hands for a shake.
“Deal!” She accepted his offer.
“From now on, I will call you Greta!” Gale confirmed.
And Greta Stone was born in the appearance of Lucy Mason.
Eloisa and Kent heard that Gale was now happily married to a girl named Greta. It’s been three years since they last met him at Dilan’s second birthday party and after that, they lost contact with him.
They just received an invitation letter from Gale and Greta for the anniversary celebration of their famous penthouse called Zeus Palace. It’s been a year they first built it and all investors were now laying on a pile of money especially Lucy who was Greta now and Gale. Their building became popular and even the Kings and Queens Hotels are now on the list of getting bankrupt that’s why Eloisa and Kent immediately left the states and decided to stay in the Philippines for good to personally manage their company. The Ace Wine Corp whom been managed by Alexander wasn’t in good condition too.
“Shall we go there? I’m so excited to meet his wife.” Eloisa raises her tattoed eyebrows at her husband.
Kent who was busy playing at Dilan heard her and answered back.
“Yes, of course. Even Gale and I had a terrible misunderstanding before, I’m so happy that he still thinks about us!” He said and played their son again.
Eloisa set a smile on her face while texting Brian about Lucy. She’s sure that Lucy was dead by digging the hole he made when he shot her.
“Let’s meet tomorrow before the party.” She texted Brian and hoping that she’s dead.

Gale and Lucy, we’re busy preparing for the anniversary of their penthouse. They were inside their mall looking for Lucy’s gown and Gale’s suit for the important event.
They close the mall for the whole day every time they went shopping and do groceries.
All of their employees were falling in line while waiting for their bosses who were still inside the fitting room. Some escorted them for picking of dresses and some do their groceries with a list with them given by Lucy herself.
“Put this all in the bag. Your madam likes it all!” Gale ordered their employees.
All of them put all the clothes, jewelry, shoes, and makeup sets, which almost filled thirty bags.
“Madame is lucky! I wish I can be like her!”, one of them feel jealous while putting everything she chose in the shopping bags.
Lucy was done and she waited for Gale to finish his selection of clothes and other personal things. She waited for him in the lobby.
A few minutes later, Gale called her.
” I’m done, honey. Shall we go?” He asked Lucy and she stands up from her seat as a sign of yes.
She put her arms around his and they walked together going inside their Lamborghini car.
“It’s time to open the mall!”, he ordered them before they left.
The couple decided to have dinner outside after they went shopping because it been weeks since they last saw and enjoyed each other’s company.
Even they’re known by everyone as Mr. and Mrs. Stone, inside the mansion, their relationship wasn’t real as couples. They have a contract and deal with all of this. Once their plan works, both of them will go on separate ways.
” Cheers?”, Gale raises the wine glass at Lucy.
“Cheers!”, She mumbled and hit their glasses together.
Lucy suddenly became serious and her mind started to think things again from her past. She thought of her son Austin and it breaks her heart to know that she almost had him that day inside the mall but she flinched when he said his name was Dilan.
She remembered giving her som name of Austin.
” Hey, are you thinking about him?”, Gale meant about her ex-lover Kent, his stepbrother.
Lucy quickly shook her head. He was wrong because she cursed Kent and erased him in her mind, heart, and life.
“No. It’s about my son. He’s a big guy now and I hope I can talk to him with a lot of time.” Her eyes began to be saddened.
Gale holds her shoulders to support her grievances. He knows how devastated Lucy was.
“You can meet Austin tomorrow make sure that no one will find out that your Lucy!”, Gale told her.
” Of course. I’m Greta Stone and I don’t even know the girl Lucy Mason. I just resemble her.” She replied at Gale and both of them made a wide smile on their faces.
