A week later.. A loud blaring trumpet disrupted the silent living room and at the same time causing a crease line on the forehead of the father and son who were having a silent breakfast..Vanessa hurried in with a big bouquet of red roses, she was closely followed by some men playing the trumpets.. "Happy birthday Kyle" Her soft voice played in the living room..She waved her hand and the tunes died down..Ray's nostrils flared up and down in anger, today was his daddy's birthday and he wasn't even aware of it because his dad never celebrated it..Kyle had an indifferent look on his face, he simply nodded to her and returned back to his meal..Vanessa was loss for words, she simply brushed his cold attitude off.."You can come in guys"Kyle raised his head once more, when he heard her speak.. and immediately ten maids all came in with gift boxes.."I got all these for you..they are all limited collections.. I hope you like them"Kyle hummed in response, he got up from his seat "I'll
Arya felt the air around her cease as she stared into his soulless eyes.. How did things turn so dramatic?Cole cleared his throat and took a step forward to Kyle.."Mr Anderson.. I don't think this is right, you were right when you said kids say the craziest things.. I think your son is a little bit.. umm.."Crazy?!" Ray interjected...Kyle's eyes narrowed down at the lady in front of him, so she was the lady his little boy has been comparing him to?.. Vanessa heart slammed against her ribcage, her worst fears came through.. this little punk has done the worst.. And everyone in the city knew Mr Kyle Anderson never goes back on his word.."Kyle I think Ray might be hungry that's why he's spurting out nonsense.. I'll get him something to eat" Ray casted Vanessa a hateful gaze, the last thing he wanted was to look at her face.."I never told you that I was hungry, and even if I was hungry only Arya will feed me"Kyle exhaled loudly, he took a glance at his wrist watch.. the party had b
Arya was carried out of her house like a bag of nothing and was pushed into the car waiting to take her to the Anderson's mansion.. Chloe tried to get in their way but was pushed aside, the car sped off leaving behind a cloud of dust..She chased after it to a distance before she remembered Cole who was badly beaten for trying to get in the way.. The car came to a halt in front of a huge building, the guards opened the car's door to bring Arya out.. Arya kicked, scratched and pinched anyone who came close to her, despite all her struggles the guards still brought her out of the car and lifted her out with ease.."Let me go you bull face! I'll sue you and your boss!"The guards ignored her words and took her into the building.... Kyle waved off the maid who was holding a toy train.. another one came in with an action figure.."Take a look at this son.. it's strong just like me" Kyle coaxed..Ray snapped his head to the other side with a pout.. "Not as strong as Arya"Kyle sprang
Vanessa looked around the empty living room, she had an odd feeling that something wasn't right.."You!" she stopped a maid passing by..The maid stopped in front of her "Yes miss Vanessa"Vanessa's eyes blazed in anger, before the maid could tell what was going on a slap landed on her left cheek.."You addressed me by my name? have you gone nuts! I'm the soon to be lady of this house and you...get lost!"The maid scurried out of the living room with her hands on her cheek..She turned around to leave when she heard giggles coming from upstairs.. she recognized the voice to be Ray's..If Kyle was at the office, who could be up with Ray right now? she doubted if it was the nanny hired for him..That kid was so hard to please just like his father! She took in a deep breath and changed her direction to the stairs..With each step she took, she could hear his giggles getting higher and louder..She stopped right in front of the door and hesitated for a while before pushing the door open..
Chloe searched around for her phone till she spotted it on one of the small cushions in the living room..She hurried to the cushion and took the phone.. "Arya..oh God it's dead!" Her eyes snapped to the door leading to the basement, she could hear Joyce hurried footsteps approaching..Without wasting anymore time she sprinted out of the house.."Hey! wait right there!" Joyce called after panting, she face palmed herself..Things were already messy, if Chloe gets to Arya everything she had ever dreamt of would only remain a dream.... Kyle stared at every part of the room except from Ray's direction.. He didn't want to be interrogated by his smarty pants son."You're lying to me again daddy, it's getting dark already and Arya hasn't come back home yet"Kyle massaged his head, he felt like he was going to go crazy.."Arya! Arya! Arya! all you ever do is chant her name..have you forgotten about me? Come on Ray" Kyle answered back impatiently, he was already fed up of hearing Arya's n
Arya muffled her laughter that was threatening to burst out any moment.The look on Kyle's face was too expensive, things got even more weird when Ray left the room."you find it funny don't you?! but I think you're the one who is so eager to come to me"Arya's brows drew together "What? even if you were the last man on this planet I'll rather go to a monkey!""is that so? then what are you doing in my room?"Arya was left speechless, his room? she had thought that this was her room.."Your room? but the servant brought me here" Arya said in her defense.."More like an excuse" Arya heaved a deep breath, she knew this conversation won't end well.. she simply turned around and walked to the wardrobe..She opened the wardrobe and squinted her eyes, one could go blind by staring at the white and black outfits in it.."What do you think you're doing?" Kyle's angry voice came which didn't seem to cause any reaction from Arya..Arya picked out a white shirt and faced him "When you instruc
Arya raised a brow at Vanessa's outburst, she rolled up her sleeves and walked around the table to Ray..She helped him wipe off the smudges from the corner of his lips.."Is anything the problem miss Vanessa?"Vanessa's pupils dilated, doesn't she know that she is the problem here?!"Why are you putting on Kyle's shirt?!" Vanessa questioned irritably.."Doesn't it explain itself" Arya replied back with a slanted grin on her lips..Kyle dropped his cutlery, he suddenly lost his appetite..Vanessa's lips parted in disbelief, she snapped her gaze back to Kyle.."What is this Kyle? you know how much that shirt costs and how far I went to get it for you""No one asked you to get it" Ray imputed and stuck out his tongue to Vanessa..Arya stroked his hair gently "Ray the grownups are talking don't interrupt anymore" She whispered gently which he nodded to.."Daddy I'm ready to go"Kyle nodded and stood up to his feet, he didn't spare Vanessa a look..Vanessa's lips curved upward, Kyle made
Kyle's fist tightened as he stared at the screen before him, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and shut the laptop.."How dare she?!" He barked out..He snapped his gaze back to his men who were present in the broad office space.."You know what you have to do!"They bowed in unison and marched out of the office..A devilish smirk appeared on Kyle's lips "You're in for a tough ride".. Arya dropped her phone on the counter and sighed for the umpteenth time, she gave up trying to reach Chloe..This was totally unlike her, Chloe never takes a day or two off work unless it was really important.. and to make matters worse her phone was out of reach..Her thoughts was interupted when a glass of juice was splashed on her face..Anger surged through Arya when she made direct eye contact with Vivian.."You ungrateful b*tch! after securing a place in a wealthy family you forgot about the people who gave you a home!" Vivian spat out glaring at Arya..Arya calmly tied her hair into a bun and
~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
