Mia took a scoop of ice cream and raised it to her lips.."Have you seen the news?" A friend of her's suddenly spoke.."You know I don't watch the news" Mia replied back in a bored tone, Ray was yet to give her a feedback from their plans..Phoebe pushed the bowl of ice cream a little and brought her phone in front of mia.."It's about your nephew!" Mia's eyes widened, did Ray run away again? Kyle only puts up the news on air whenever he did..She snatched the phone from Phoebe and gazed upon it anxiously.."This just came in, that the Anderson's heir, Ray Anderson was taken away by an unknown lady from school grounds today and has been declared missing, Mr Kyle Anderson has promised a reward.....Mia dropped the phone on the table and picked her purse.."Something isn't right!" she murmured and dashed out..Phoebe picked her phone and purse, and also ran after Mia.."wait up mia!" .. Ray who was watching a kids show with a bowl of popcorn by his side sat up when a breaking news
Arya froze when she heard his voice behind her, she slowly turned to him, immediately a gasp escaped her lips when Kyle snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her to himself.."Where do you think you're going?" Arya raised her head to meet his burning gaze, she squinted her eyes a little at his face..'Did he cry?' she questioned herself..Arya held his arm trying to break free from his tight grip.."Mr Anderson let me go" "So you can run away again? I've waited.. so.. long for you to return back to me and give me an explanation" Arya's heart skipped a beat, all she could see in his eyes was pain..He staggered backwards which pulled Arya out of her thoughts.."Woah! easy there!" She pulled his arms off her waist and supported him to the bed.."Sit" "Don't order me around Charlotte! I don't want to sit" Arya raised a brow, without waiting for another second, she pushed his chest with all her strength and smirked when he fell flat on the bed.."Now guess who's lying down" she
Arya grinned and patted his shoulder gently, her face suddenly turned sour.."Ray can you believe your dad? I made this especially for him and he is not happy about it" Ray stared at his dad's plate and started laughing "He is not a mouse Arya, he has a large appetite"Kyle had a blank expression on his face, he calmly stood up with his plate and placed it in front of Arya and collected her already filled up plate..Arya was left speechless, how can he behave so immaturely?Kyle took his seat and began munching on it.."That's called stealing you know?"Ray moved his chair backwards and hopped down.."There's something I want to show you both.. wait right here" Ray said hurriedly and dashed off living alone the two..Arya took Ray's spot and snatched back her plate of food that he took earlier.."I let it slide because Ray was here.." "Are you trying to come close to me again? so that you can take advantage of my helplessness just like last night?" Arya instantly placed a palm ove
Arya's silky hair cascaded down her shoulder, she raised her head in surprise.."What was that for?" Kyle widened his fingers and snapped the band before her.."Ray let's go down" He murmured and led Ray out of the room..Arya blinked back in surprise and stared at the closed door.."What is wrong with him?".. Ray turned to his dad with a frown, Arya wasn't here yet and the driver already started the car.."Arya isn't here yet daddy" Kyle sighed "Well she can catch the nearest bus there" "then I'll go with her" Ray declared and was about to hop down when Kyle reached out to him.."Alright fine!" Few minutes later Arya hurried out of the building and entered the car.."I'm sorry for you keeping you waiting" Kyle gave a nod to the driver and soon after the black Rolls Royce drove out followed by two other cars..Mia popped out of her hiding place with a smile on her lips.."He pulled it off! he's really a smart kid" She got into one of the cars that was parked outside and slo
Ray and Kyle exchanged confused looks when Arya suddenly walked to a stall leaving them behind.."What do you think she's up to daddy?"Arya smiled at the vendor and handed her a few bills..She hid whatever she had purchased behind her and walked back to them with a smile.."What is that Arya? can I have a look?" Ray asked trying to take a peek at what she was holding..Kyle arched a brow, he couldn't deny the fact that he was also desperate to know what she was hiding behind her back.."Come on Arya..let me have a look" Ray said with a pout..Arya nodded and pulled out the bunny ears headband she bought..Ray's grin widened "wow.. I love it!" Arya chuckled, she bent a little and placed it on Ray's head.. "How do I look daddy?" Kyle cleared his throat "I have no idea" came Kyle's bored tone.."You look like a little prince..Soo cute!" Arya complimented..Arya fondled with the pink bunny ear, she looked towards Kyle's direction, the latter was a bit lost..She wasn't sure what he
Arya pushed open the large double doors and stepped into her restaurant, she smiled at the good amount of people dining at her restaurant..Ever since Martin and Kyle visited this place, things have been running pretty smooth and to her bewilderment a few well known family in the country visits here frequently..."Ma'am you're here..I was wondering if Chloe was with you" Arya took an empty spot beside the large glass window and looked up to her employee.."Chloe? oh goodness, didn't she come today?" Sam shook his head slowly "I never heard from her after she left two days ago" Arya's brows creased "She wasn't around yesterday?" Sam nodded and placed a brown colored file on the table.."This came for you earlier today" Arya picked the file up and dismissed Sam, she was just about to open it when she spotted Martin staggering in..Martin looked around the moment he stepped in, he knew Arya must be around here somewhere since he spotted her coming in a while ago.."Martin" she call
Arya's brows knotted, what could have happened to Kyle..Without hesitating any longer she dashed off the terrace and made her way back into the building..Arya's heart pounded against her ribcage as she opened the door..Her jaw dropped in shock as she stared at the torn apart room..'Did this really happen in the span of twenty minutes that she was away?' Her gaze fell on Kyle who was seated with his head bowed and fresh blood drip out of his hands.."Mr Anderson you're bleeding!" she screamed in horror and ran to him..She reached out her hand to touch his but was startled when his deep voice broke out.."Don't!" Arya stood up to her feet and tried to recall where she had seen the first aid kit..She turned to the drawers next to Kyle and started going through it..She pulled open the last drawer and was relieved when she saw the blue kit with a red cross sign on it..Arya placed the kit next to him and got hold of his hand.."I said don't touch me!" he barked out at her and pul
Arya's eyes widened "Arghh!" "Look away!!" Kyle yelled out and picked up his towel..Before he could say anything anymore, she bolted out of the room panting heavily.."Shameless!" .. Mia closed the door behind her and turned to Ray with a pout.."It didn't go really well yesterday right?" Ray sighed and pulled Conny into his arms "It was going pretty well until uncle Martin showed up" Mia's lips pursed, this was entirely her fault, of she hadn't called Martin and asked for help perhaps Kyle and Arya would have gotten a bit closer to each other.."Arya thinks daddy is a bad guy now" Ray added with a down cast look..Mia folded her arm "I think I have a plan Ray" "Really? tell me".... Vivian sat up when she heard a knock on the door, she frowned in disgust and dropped her bowl of popcorn next to her.."Mum! won't you get it?!" she yelled out and was even more upset when she didn't get a response from her mum..She grudgingly walked to the door and opened it, a small frown sett
~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
