Lora was ushered into Vanessa's house by the servants, she rushed up to Vanessa's room and opened the door hurriedly to see Vanessa in despair.."Vanessa" Vanessa sat on the floor with four empty bottles of beers and half a glass of unfinished whisky.. her hair was messy while her face red as a result of too much drinking..Lora went on one kneel and was saddened by her friend's current state.."Vanessa you're..."Don't touch me!" she yelled shrugging off Lora's gentle touch on her shoulder..Vanessa chuckled and suddenly bursted out laughing.."Lora, Kyle scolded me last night because of that plane jane, he doesn't care about how much I'm into him" She raised the bottle of whiskey to her lips and took a mouthful..Lora sat up and touched her forehead while pacing around, it seems Vanessa hasn't seen the news yet.."He doesn't love me! but why? my figures are right, and what does she have? nothing!" Tears rolled down her cheeks as she continued drinking from the bottle..Lora closed
Arya had a small frown on her face when she stepped out of her car.Her restaurant that was meant to be closed down was currently filled up with some people..Immediately the media sighted her, they rushed to her and surrounded her like a swarm of bees..Her few guards did their best to protect her, she failed to understand what was going on, her eyes blinked continuously as it was blinded by the flashing lights from their cameras.."Ma'am is it true that you're responsible for what happened to Miss Vanessa Gilbert?" "Ma'am what can you say in your defense to Arya's delight closure?""Ma'am is it true that Mr Martin Anderson is your secret boyfriend?" Arya placed both hands against her ears, their questions were really off point and headless..Noticing how uncomfortable their Mrs was, they paved a way for her leading into the restaurant..When she got in she was surprised to see Martin Anderson, the guy who saved her a day ago..Martin had a roguish grin on his lips when he saw her
Dennis glared down at his son who was sitting before him with his head bowed..He just watched the news where his son was seen fighting over a plate of food in a local restaurant.."You have brought disgrace to this family by doing such a childish thing!" Martin raised his head and met his father's gaze.."I didn't bring any sought of disgrace to the family after all Kyle was also there, we were only trying to help his wife" Dennis chest rose up and down in anger and before Martin could speak, a slap landed on his cheek..Rita's eyes widened, she sprang up to her feet and held Dennis back from striking her son again.."Have you lost your mind Dennis? do you want to ruin his face?" "He clearly doesn't get the fact I'm trying to point out! those Anderson's living in the ancestral home treated us like thrash.. we are only bearing their name but we don't really have a relationship with them!" Martin stood up to his feet, he took a step closer to his father and chuckled.."You might t
Mia swallowed hard as kyle came closer to her, she shut her eyes cursing herself mentally for speaking out too loud.."Big bro.. I.."Who gave you the permission to tell others about my personal matters?!" Arya noticed the pain hidden behind his words, she calmly walked into their midst and pushed mia back a little.."Relax Mr Anderson, she really didn't mean to..Kyle snapped his gaze at her immediately "no one asked for your input! and as for you Mia leave now before I do something that I might regret later on!" Mia sighed and picked up her purse, she embraced Arya once more and whispered softly into his ear.."I'll be good Arya" She pulled away from Arya and slowly walked out of the room..Arya averted her gaze back to Kyle but the latter was already halfway up the stairs.."Mr Anderson, can I have a word with you?" she called out but received silence in return.."He is always moody, he never gives anyone a chance to explain themselves! such a hard man" .. "Arya where are yo
Arya smiled when she felt the soft little body that snuggled close to her on her bed.."Did you sneak into my room in the middle of the night?" Arya murmured in her sleep..Ray nodded his head and snuggled closer to her..Meanwhile downstairs... A soft click on the marbled floor was heard as a lady stepped in, immediately she spotted the person she came here to see, she fell at his feet..Kyle looked down at her and placed his mug of coffee on the table.."What are you doing here? haven't I warned you to stay off my property?!"Vanessa sniffed back and raised her head to take a look at his face.Her eyes were swollen from crying all day, ever since Kyle cut her off from the entertainment industry, she has faced many backlash and setbacks.. "Please Kyle don't make me suffer anymore, I made a mistake and I have accepted it already.. for the sake of our friendship.. please end this torture"Kyle opened the business newspaper he was reading earlier."Leave when you're done, you're ruin
Arya pushed the door to Ray's room open and scanned everywhere.."Ray" "I don't think he's here.. the room is clearly empty" Vanessa uttered..Arya turned to her with a raised brow "I know him quite well, I'm sure he is here somewhere" "Well, so where is he now?" Kyle questioned..Arya tied her hair into a bun while maintaining eye contact with Kyle..She suddenly went on her fours and crawled under Ray's bed leaving Kyle and Vanessa speechless.."What the hell?" Vanessa said in unbelief..Arya smiled when she crawled under the bed, she reached out her hand and touched Ray's hair gently..."How do you always find me Arya?" Ray asked with a pout..Kyle and Vanessa were startled when they heard Ray's voice underneath the bed.."Son? what are you doing under your bed? come out dear" Ray stroked Conny softly with a sad look of down cast.."Give me a minute Mr Anderson, Ray is upset" Arya replied back..Kyle snorted, he gently went on his knees and crawled under the bed..Arya who wasn't
Arya suddenly felt hot in the room even though it was well ventilated..Kyle cleared his throat and smiled at Ray "We are together are we not?" Ray shook his head in denial "No you're not! you don't share a room or speak to each other nicely, married couples do this don't they?" "Listen Ray, what you're asking is never going to happen" Kyle declaredRay hopped down from the bed "Fine then! I won't speak to either of you again and I won't have breakfast, lunch or dinner! for the rest of my life!" He yelled out almost in tears and bolted out of the room.."You sure don't know how to speak to a child, Ray isn't one of your business partners for you to yell at okay?!" Arya snapped at him..Kyle sprang up to his feet and looked down at her "Didn't you hear what he just said? I can't even share a house with you, not to talk of a room!" Arya gasped softly at his outburst "Oh you think I'm Soo elated to share a room with you? I'll rather sleep in the wild and let those blood thirsty mosquit
Arya went through her phone and at the same time stole gazes at Kyle who was sitting opposite her with his laptop..Kyle cleared his throat to gain her attention "Have you thought of where you will pass the night?" Arya arched a brow, what does he mean by that? isn't this room enough for them? "What? this is obviously our room now as per your son's request so deal with it" Kyle hummed and shut his laptop close "Get yourself another bed or you can pass the night on the balcony with the mosquitoes" Arya laughed out loud and stood up, she rushed to the bed and sat in the middle.."Ladies first! this bed is so huge and warm and Soo soft..just like me.. you can sleep on the ground at least it matches your personality" Kyle placed his laptop on a drawer and pulled Arya up from his bed.."It'sy room! my bed! and I'll make the rules in here!" The door suddenly opened which startled the two, Arya lost her balance and ended up pulling Kyle down with her..Her lips pressed against his cheek
~Arya's pov~ It's been a year since all those drama happened around me, it's been a hell of a ride all because a Billionaire's Son Chose Me to be his mum at his dad's birthday.. I gave birth to a beautiful daughter who looks just like me, Kyle named her Rachel, just because it sounds a bit like Raymond.. What a jerk! Sooo.. moving on, I had the most amazing wedding, my dad was there to walk me down the aisle.. It was a dream come true, Ray now addresses me as his mum, and did I forget to mention, He's so fond and protective of his baby sister?. And oh! here they come.. Kyle smiled at me walking hand in hand with Ray while the other held Rachel to his chest, I'm so jealous of their bond.. It's like I'm almost forgotten whenever Rachel is around.. It's probably crazy to think that I'd be jealous of my little baby, but yeah I am.. in two months time she'd turn a year old. I can't wait for that to happen.. "So what have you been thinking about Mrs Anderson?" Kyle teased me, I c
Two days later.. Arya was finally discharged and taken home, and ever since she got back, Ray has refused to leave her side even for a second.. Kyle also kept a close eye on her, he had strictly forbidden her to step out of the bed or their room at large. Everything was gradually falling into place for them, until Arya felt her stomach shift, she stepped out of the bed, not again! her legs were still a bit weak but she managed to help herself to the bathroom.. Kyle stepped into the room with a smile on his face which died the minute he saw the empty bed and room.. He heard the sound of water running in the bathroom and also groans and loud coughs.. "Arya!" He banged on the door until it opened to reveal her pale face.. "Are you alright?..." he worriedly asked scooping her into his arms.. Arya shook her head slowly resting against him as he carried her to the bed... "We'll leave for the hospital right now" *** Chad's brows furrowed while he checked up on Arya
Few weeks later at a cemetery... Mia bent down a little touching Ray's shoulder with a small smile.. "Go on Ray it's your turn..offer your flowers" Ray took a look back at his dad who gave him a nod, he took a step forward to the graveside next to Mr Carter who was mumbling some things to next to the grave, he dropped the flowers and walked back to Mia... Mr Carter looked a bit well off now, his beards was nicely trimmed and he also looked healthy.. The incident from that day was still fresh in their minds, Charlotte was apprehended by the cops that day and was locked up behind bars.. Some years behind bars will definitely make her think twice before commiting any more crimes.. *** Ray pouted his lips staring blankly at his bowl of cereal, he missed Arya, she was the one who always made breakfast for him and also gets him ready for school.. "Come on Ray..eat up" Mia urged stroking his hair gently.. She sighed already knowing where this was heading to, he'd probabl
Sharon handed the phone she was holding over to Charlotte who was seated in the midst of all these chaos.. It felt like everyone was on standstill contemplating their next move and the possible solution to this problem.. Arya took a step forward as the floor sank once more, Kyle reached out effortlessly to her arm as the chairs holding the two went up a little.. "Control yourself Arya! you're endangering them more by going closer!" He yelled shaking her slightly, he got that she was concerned about Ray and her dad.. but she also needed to weigh the pros and cons of her actions.. "I can't do that Kyle! I can't just stand and do nothing okay?! Ray is counting on us to save him! Charlotte is a freak and I'm very sure she left a way out of this!" she argued in a firm and lowered tone.. Charlotte threw her head back with a sigh, their lovey dovey scene wasn't what she was expecting to see.. She wanted to see them in tears and at her mercy most especially Arya.. "Umm excuse me
Charlotte ran her hands through her hair pacing around, it was a good thing that they were able to lost Kyle's men who were tailing her earlier.. She couldn't leave the country because all roads were currently blocked, this was definitely Kyle's doing.. He'd surely comb the entire city clean to find his son and there was no doubt that she'd be apprehended.. So she needed to act fast, right now the only place she could get to stay in the whole city was at this abandoned factory which used to be her base.... The sound of groan and grunts reached her ears as two men dragged in a middle aged man who could barely stand on his feet.. He looked tattered and starved, his grey hair was unkempt so as his beards.. This was no other than Mr Carter, Charlotte and Arya's dad whom Dennis had been keeping in his custody for some time now.. The men released their grip on him which caused him to fall on his knees.. A smirk spread across her face, this was the same man she used to adore w
Arya stood up to her feet in anger glaring at Kyle who all smiles, his smile soon fell as soon as a slap graced his face.. "Arya- Kyle stretched his hand to her only for her to back away.. "It's a good thing you've recalled your lost memories.. but sadly I'm still mad at you for what you did back there at our wedding!" Kyle took a sharp intake of breath, he knew he messed up big time by leaving her on the alter all alone.."I'm deeply sorry Arya..I didn't mean to" He attempted to take a step out of the bed only to receive a sharp pain in his head, he groaned out relaxing back on the bed.. Arya rushed next to his side when he groaned out in pain.. "Are you alright?" Kyle smirked "Just make up your mind Arya..do you want to stay mad at me? or do you want to mend things up with me?" *** Charlotte placed a palm over her mouth to stop herself from screaming out, everything was over! Her chances with Kyle were all over.. She raised her phone to her ear while looking
Arnold glanced down at Chloe's hand holding his before raising his head to meet her eyes.. "No.. big bro" she shook her head gently holding firmly onto his hand.. "Chloe?" Chloe bit her bottom lips avoiding his intense stare, she groaned out facing him with a sour expression on her face.. "I'm sorry bro..but you can't do this, he apologized right? why don't you let it go?" Arnold cupped her face in his large palm peering gently at her.. "Chloe..don't you see that we all care about you? in as much as we do things that irritates you a lot or make you upset..we still love you, and all I'm trying to do is to save you from this big jerk..I don't want you to fall a victim to him" Bryan sighed, he rolled his eyes at the unnecessary drama going on in front of him, Arnold was just being too much.. "But I don't need saving big bro..I'm old enough to make my own decisions..you can't keep hiding me away from guys because you think they have ulterior motives towards me..I'll get
Charlotte turned back when she heard hurried footsteps approaching her, her gaze fell on Arya's worried expression with a little stain of tears on her cheeks.. It was obvious she must have heard what happened, to her amazement, a slap fell on her cheek, she turned to Arya in disbelief, finding it difficult to comprehend why she was just slapt.. "What the- Another slap fell to her left cheek, Arya's chest heaved up and down in anger, she pointed a finger at Charlotte's red face.. "You alone is to be blamed for this! I'm very sure you had a hand in this!" She had received a call a while ago from Chad stating Kyle met with yet another accident and has been taken to his hospital for treatment.. She wondered how much more Kyle's weak body could take.. "I'm not responsible for his accident! I was on my way to warn him because Dennis- Charlotte bit her tongue after blurting out some things she shouldn't have said.. Arya's pupils dilated, Dennis! that's right Kyle's bigges
A knock on the window startled Chloe who was about to fall into a deep slumber, she sat up from her bed wiping her tear streaked face with the back of her palm, she straightened her thigh length red night gown .... The knock came again this time in a hurry, she became scared and stood at alert, who could it be at this late hour? and why would a sane person climb up her window? She stepped down from her bed and walked slowly to her window, her room was dark which was a good thing.. Whoever it might be won't see her coming, she inhaled deeply and suddenly swiped her curtain open.. "You- Her eyes grew large at the figure who was barely gripping unto the railing.. She opened her window for him to come in, he jumped in softly and staggered a bit forward to her putting his weight all on her.. "What on earth?!" She barked out in a lowered tone at him, Arnold's window was just below her's which meant he had climbed past her brother's window just to get up here.. "Chloe..please
