Ray's brows creased when Arya spilled milk on the table, he noticed her hands were shaking.. "Are you alright?" Ray mumbled in worry.. Arya avoided staring at him because next to him sat his father, she couldn't bring herself to look him in the eyes after last night.. She could feel his piercing stare on her and panicked even more, she failed to understand why she was reacting this way.. Charlotte emerged from the kitchen all smiles putting on a sky blue apron which had a few red stains on it.. Arya snorted, a cook indeed! she remembered how her mum loved to cook, she made tasty dishes that leaves people wanting more.. She was proud to have inherited that from their, cooking meals was life itself, unlike Charlotte who took their mum's other hobby.. She failed to understand why Charlotte had to part ways with them.. "Snap out of it dummy! get me a neat glass!" Charlotte barked furiously at Arya, a part in her heart told her that she was the one to be held responsible f
Arya ignored Charlotte's little tantrums and raised the glass of milk to Kyle's lips, after which she wiped the corner of his lips with her thumb... "You'll feel a lot better" she said sweetly which he returned with a stiff nod, he couldn't deny that he was affected by her little gesture.. She turned to Charlotte with a raised brow "Yes ma'am? do you need anything?" Charlotte's teeth clenched, her sharp brown orbs glared daggers at the cunning lady who was acting like it was totally fine to feed her boss.. "You know how wrong it is to come into this room! there are other servants who can take care of his needs! and besides you're just a nanny hired to look after Ray..stop trying to get yourself attached.... "That's enough Charlotte!" Charlotte ate back her words as soon as Kyle lashed out at her.. She stared at him in unbelief, was he seriously yelling at her because of this cheap nanny?! "Kyle you're... Arya sniffed back in tears "I'm sorry ma'am..I just thought i
Charlotte's knuckles tightened as she stared at the figure moving around the kitchen humming a tune and also swaying her hips to her tunes.. She stepped into the kitchen after sending all the cooks out by eye gesture and a small nod.. She suddenly grabbed a knife from its rack and raised it behind her ready to strike, only for her hand to freeze on air after hearing Arya's words.. "I wouldn't do that if I were you.." She murmured dryly without looking to Charlotte's direction.. Arya turned off the cooker and turned to Charlotte with a sharp glare.. "Go ahead and stab me..right here on my neck" she tilted her neck while pointing a finger to it also.. "Just admit that you've lost..if I get as much as a single scratch on my body..not only will I gorge your eyes out..I'll make sure that you spend eternity behind bars!" The knife fell out of Charlotte's trembling hands to the ground which made a harsh click against the marbled floor.. "Who the f*ck are you?" She managed to
Bryan ruffled his hand through his hair as he paced around outside Lora's ward, he closed his eyes briefly as he listened to Lora's mum's sobs. "Bryan!" Bryan turned to the direction of the voice to meet his dad's murderous gaze.. "What did you do to her?!" "It was an accident okay?.... The door pushed open alerting them, Bryan walked hurriedly to the doctor disregarding his dad's question.. "Doctor..how is she?" The doctor took a deep breath and pulled off his nose mask.. "I'm sorry Mr Alexander..we tried our very best to save the baby..but we lost it" Alice's wails further intensified, she shrugged Cynthia's hold on her and marched straight to Bryan and before anyone could tell what she was up to.. A slap fell on Bryan's cheek sending his face to the other side.. "You must have done something to her! if you didn't want the baby..you could have just left her alone!" Charles casted Bryan a cold glance, all his hard work of trying to fix this alliance between t
Bryan walked past his mum and Lora's mum and made his way into the ward. The nurse tending to Lora left the room with a metal tray in her hands soon after Bryan entered.. His gaze settled on her closed eyes, he could also see the tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes, as if sensing his presence, she fluttered her eyelids open.. "Lora" he called out which sounded like a breathless whisper. Lora's eyes teared up even more, she pulled her gaze away from him to her side.. "You got what you wanted..our baby is gone" she choked out amidst tears.. "I'm sorry..I didn't mean to" Another figure stepped into the room, she threw a mean gaze at Bryan before sitting next to Lora who was sobbing quietly.. "I'm sorry for the unexpected loss Lora..please don't go hard on yourself" Vanessa sympathized with a look of downcast on her face.. Bryan ran his hand through his dark hair, he messed up big time and he knew it but the deed was already done and there was no going back.. "Pleas
Arya sat up on her bed as soon as her door opened with a loud bang, well that was surprising, she hadn't expected to see Charlotte in her room.. "Oh it's just you" she snorted in disdain rising up to her feet with a mocking smile on her lips.. She was a bit satisfied with the irritation on Charlotte's face, the latter has done so much to her and needed to be thought a good lesson.. Arya's eyes glowed fiercely, this was the price Charlotte had to pay for messing around with her husband.. Charlotte took a step forward and suddenly reached out for Arya's neck, but for some reasons Arya was calm and collected.. her smile never left her face not even for a second.. Charlotte was angered by the reaction she got from Arya, the latter was supposed to be choking or begging her to have mercy rather she stood there with a devilish grin.. "You messed up with my things didn't you?!" Arya grabbed Charlotte's hand off her neck and gave it a tight squeeze.. "Yes I did! so what are yo
Sam took a glance at Chloe when she didn't respond to his teasing, he followed her line of sight and was a bit surprised to see Bryan coming towards them.. And most importantly Bryan's annoyed gaze was fixated on him, he unknowingly gulped down, he always had a feeling that Mr Alexander despised him for some reasons known alone to him and he was right.. Because in the next instance he was shoved away from Chloe's side.. "Move!" Bryan's cold glare settled on the strawberry ice cream Chloe was holding, he suddenly snatched it and handed it back to Sam.. "She doesn't need it!" He gritted in annoyance and quickly led the dazed Chloe towards his car.. Sam was dumbfounded and left in shock, he tried to wrap his mind around what just happened now, he wondered what exactly he had done to warrant such hostility from Bryan.. "Hmph! more ice cream for me I guess" He mumbled beneath his breath.. *** Chloe finally snapped out of her daze when Bryan's finger stroked the corner of
One of Kyle's arm left her waist to her hair, and with a single pull, her ponytail was let loose to flow down her shoulder.. Arya let out a gasp which Kyle took as an opportunity to further pry into her mouth, he felt the heat rising within him.. All he wanted to know was who this lady was to him and why she was able to bring out this other side of him? Arya was so lost in the moment to figure out what Kyle was really up to, she felt her eyeglasses leaving her face in the next instance.. He pulled away from her gently to take a closer look at her face.. "So when are you going to tell me everything I need to know?" "Huh?" The corner of Kyle's lips pulled up into a teasing smile. "Don't feign ignorance.. Naomi, you know there's really no way I forgot what happened this morning.. Charlotte wasn't with me in the last five years, something is definitely fishy and by the looks of things you know a lot that I don't know" Arya's heart skipped a beat, Kyle knew everything?
~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
