Chapter 07

Bruce got up hurriedly and in pretense, rushed over to Lyra to aid her. Lyra pushed him away angrily and he was suprised. " I'm fine. I can walk on my own " She snapped as she walked over to her seat.

Mr and Mrs Ford exchanged glances understanding what was happening. Mrs Ford let out a sigh before turning to Bruce who sat down with an annoyed look on.

He sure is going to make Lyra pay for not playing along to his scheme.

" Bruce. You haven't been treating your wife right, have you? " Mrs Ford asked, almost angrily. Bruce only let out a scoff as he ate his meal silently.

" Bruce! I'm talking to you! " Mrs Ford shouted angrily as she hit her palm on the dinning table forcefully and they all flinched except Bruce.

He only dropped his cutlery and raised his head to his mom. " Mom why're you getting so worked out 'cause of nothing? You know more than anyone that I don't care for Lyra! I don't want her as my wife! It's only a forced marriage! " Bruce raised his voice angrily.

Yeah, I'm fine " Lyra replied with a dry voice, she was looking pale and definitely not okay, only if Bryan could see her." Are you sure? " Bryan asked again, to be sure. " Yeah "" So what are you going to do now? " Bryan asked worriedly. " I'm just going to try to stay out of his lane. Or keep myself locked in this guest room forever " She muttered sadly." You sure you don't wanna report this to the police?" Bryan asked, from the way he spoke, one could notice he was damn angry but he tried to keep it low." No, it's fine.. it's not his first time assaulting me anyways " Lyra replied with a sad smile tho he couldn't see it." Then leave! Come on Lyra! You know he's definitely doing all that to make you leave so do so! I'm not okay with you staying there with that monster! Please Lyra.. please.. just sign the god-damned papers! Please " Brya

    Chapter 09She picked the call hurriedly. " Hey babe " His hush voice came out tiredly." Were you sleeping?" Lyra asked when she noticed how hush his voice sounded." Yeah, I had slept off and I'm just getting off my bed right now when I remembered I had actually promised to call, sorry if I kept you waiting " He apologized and Lyra smiled." No it's fine " She replied in smiles." So, you fine now? " Bryan asked worriedly and she nodded, before she remembered he can't actually see her." Um yeah.. I'm fine now. I have decided to pack some of my stuffs to the guest room and I would be staying here for some time " She replied him and she heard him clicking his tongue." Alright that's cool then " He said to her and a brief moment of silence passed by with no one saying a word to each other." Um.. Bryan, about earlier... you're not mad at me right? " Lyra asked slowly.It took a while before Bryan replied. " Of course not, not like I can stay mad at you for so long.. I'm not angry any

    Chapter 10" Oh God " Lyra sighed frustratedly as she tried to dial Bryan's number for the umpteenth time but it was futile." Gosh, I just wanna know if he's okay.. I don't care if he purposely switched off his phone or something. I just wanna know if he's fine " She lamented sadly and worriedly." Oh God " She let out a frustrated sigh.She heard a knock at the door but she ignored it, her head was so occupied with Bryan's safety, his phone being switched off really got her all worked up.The knock came once again but she didn't care. " Ma'am, are you in there? " She recognized that voice immediately, it was her Tia, Tia is more like her personal maid.. she does literally everything for her." Tia what's it?

Fortunately, Bruce was still waiting for her. On a norm, he might have left her but it seems the outing is important.Getting into the car at once, she turned to Bruce apologetically." I'm sorry " She apologized but he gave no reply. " Go on " Bruce only said to the driver, and almost immediately the driver revved the engine and drove off.** Stitch Fix Airport **That was what the signpost read as Bruce's car drove in through the entrance.

Alright, I will do that " Bryan finally replied." Babe.. why can't I get your address? " Lyra asked silently and incoherently." Are you busy now? " Lyra asked and it took a while before Bryan replied." Um.. not really " He replied but Lyra knew he didn't want to make her feel bad." It's fine. I know you're busy, I'm also busy too " She lied." You're busy too? Is he making you do some hard labour? " Bryan asked, hoping it's not what he's thinking." Come on.. I'm just busy getting myself ready for an outing tomorrow " She said." Ok then.. I will call you later by 5 once I'm done " Bryan replied, tho he's aware she only said that so he wouldn't feel bad he's leaving her a

" She asked but Lyra shook her head." Not really.. do you want us to go somewhere together? " Lyra asked." I don't know.... do you have money? " Tia asked and Lyra stopped for a while before a sad smile played on her lips.She shook her head lightly. " I can't believe this.. I don't even have any money " She muttered pathetically.Tia let out a sad sigh. " It's fine... I will pay for our expenses " She said and Lyra raised her brows." Do you have money?

I was so worried " Bryan said at once and with the way he spoke, she could pinpoint that he was actually worried and it made her guilty." I'm sorry, I just needed some time for myself " She said truthfully. " I don't understand? " Bryan said." The gifts.. you got them for me right? " She asked and Bryan went silent for a while before speaking up." You don't like them? " He asked and she could hear the nervousness in his voice.Was he worried she didn't like it?" No.. no it's not that. I mean they're a lot and.. isn't that a bit much for someone you just met months ago? " Lyra asked slowly and she could hear Bryan's little sigh."

I don't know what happened again, must be him" She muttered."Who?" "Must be Alex. Call Ariel again" She said, Bruce only stared at her."Come on" She urged him. Bruce let out a sigh before dialing Ariel's number. She picked at the first ring."We discussed with Mr. Benjamin already and the contract has been corrected" Ariel said at once. Bruce's brows creased at once and he glanced at Lyra who also had the same surprised look on."Who asked you to do that?" Bruce said at once."W..what?" Ariel as shocked."Sir.. I.." "Cancel it, Now!"

Bruce was startled a bit before he regained composure once he saw it was his wife."Hey" Lyra said in smiles as she pecked his lips. He smiled in return. "How was your night?"

    Chapter 99 Lyra came back home late, she had a very hectic day at work. When she stepped into the house, the lights were off. She frowned before turning on her phone torch. She made her way to the light switch and turned on the lights. She gasped when she saw the beautifully arranged dining. She wondered why they had set the table so beautifully today and dropped only two chairs there. She was already salivating from the food's aroma alone. She called "Miley, Miles..." But there was no reply "Tia, Ryan?" Still no reply, her brows furrowed. She dropped her bag on the table before turning to go upstairs but instead she saw Bruce coming downstairs. Her heart skipped multiple beats as she swallowed. He was shirtless with water dripping down from his hair and rolling down to his lower abdomen. "Wha- what are you doing here?" She tried not to stammer as her face burned. "I came to take my wife back," Bruce announced without any shame. Lyra blinked multiple times in a second as she d

He was so filled with joy, his eyes watered."I like you as my daddy" Miles also said."Now we have the same daddy and the same mommy!" Ryan exclaimed in bliss and the children couldn't contain their happiness, they kept jumping and screaming for joy."I knew he was the one!" Miles kept screaming.Tia looked at Lyra who was staring at her kids in shock. She was expecting the children to be mad at her, scream, and yell at her for keeping the truth away from them but that didn't happen.Tia chuckled before saying,"You should be glad they are not asking any more questions,

She felt that was the best she could do.She went in to tell Henri and Tia as well. She didn't tell anyone before because she wanted to take care of her children alone without feeling hurt anymore but since Ryan had come to live with them, she realized that they acted more like siblings than friends.She could also now see the resemblance in Miles' face as Ella had said. She decided not to deprive them of knowing who their father was. She didn't know how the twins would feel about Bruce being their father but they would be happy that Ryan was their brother."Why didn't you tell us?!" Tia practically screamed when she heard the news but Henri was quietly observing Lyra. He had asked her and she said negative, was she trying to keep it to herself and not tell anyone?"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was tired and wanted to keep it all to myself" she murmu

Faces were sad, the people wore black and everyone was giving their heartfelt words as they moved close and then walked away leaving only Bruce and Ryan there to stand in front of the grave.'We'll miss you,' was engraved on the stone in front of them with her name on it, Ella. The people dropped their flowers in front of the stone as they made one or two statements to the stone before leaving.After the people had calmly left, the day became bright again, the umbrellas were dropped also. Ryan made his way to where the twins stood"Ryan, let's go and play," Miley says and Ryan nodded before running away with them. Tia and Henri gave him a weird look but the boy didn't seem to care at the moment, he left to play with his friends.Lyra made her way to where Bruce stood still staring at the stone.
