" So.. that was what happened " Tia muttered.

" Wow, you two must be really happy " Lyra said with a knowing smile but Tia shook her head.

" Well, me alone, not him " She said and Lyra raised her brows.

" What do you mean? "

" Henri hasn't said a proper word to me ever since then. We barely talked and even when we did, it's just about the sleeping arrangements and then him informing me what Sire Bruce wants for breakfast " She replied and Lyra raised her brows.

" What's with him? " Lyra asked confusedly.

Tia leaned closer. " He thinks it's suspicious that Sire Bruce paired us together in a room and the thinks there might be cameras in the room " Tia whispered and Lyra widened her eyes.

" He asked and she nodded. With that, he guided her out of the penthouse and off to their apartment.Immediately they both walked in, Tia rushed over to them." Are you okay? " She asked worriedly when she saw the way Lyra was gripping Bruce tightly." Ye.. ah " Lyra managed to mutter and Bruce led her to the couch where she sat down and he walked away while Tia rushed over to her immediately.Bruce came back later with a fruit juice.

" You are Clinton's wife right? " Lyra asked and Vett passes her a smile." Of Course, it's me " She said and Lyra smiled lightly" You must be here for a reason right? " Lyra suddenly asked. The two were sitted alone in the sitting room. Vett raised her brows, pretending to be confused." I know you're here to definitely find out what's between your fiance and I " Lyra said without looking at her and she bit her lips slightly." Maybe " She muttered and Lyra smiled." We were just friends back then, I promise. He's not my ex or nothing " Lyra replied. " Really? " Vett asked and Lyra nodded."

'Cause someone has been drugging you all this while " He snapped and Tia released Lyra slowly when she calmed down unconsciously." D.. drug? " Lyra stuttered.Bruce collected the glass from Henri and showed the depth to her." You see this whitish liquid here, this proves someone's trying to drug you and funny enough, you drank two cups of it already " Bruce snapped angrily that even Lyra flinched." And I think it's been there every fvcking time that server serves us those wines on entering the penthouse. Someone's playing with us " Bruce said and those words made Lyra shiver." I... Is it to kill me or?.. "" Well, we have to find out. Henri.. " He turned to Henri and handed the glass back to him."

Dr Williams says it's only for a month as long as I use my drugs, I will have my memories back, okay? Don't cry and don't worry, I will try to be my real self if you teach me how to so you won't miss me too much " She said." No.. no, I love you like this. Your normal self is a sad and unhappy one " Tia muttered the last part to herself and Lyra smiled brightly once again.They broke away from the hug and almost immediately, Henri walked in with a packaged food in his hands." Miss " He bowed lightly and Lyra raised her brows." Who are you? My husband? " She asked and they almost choked in shock. Tia turned to her in shock while Henri shook his head hurriedly."

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.

On coming out, her eyes met with Bruce's back view as he sat on the study table typing off on his laptop. Lyra smiled before walking over to him and hugging him from behind. 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?" He asked, twisting his head to face her. "Well, for one it was great" She said, stretching. "And how was yours?" She asked. "Great" Bruce muttered, twisting his neck as if you relieve himself of pain. "I just think I got neck pain" He muttered. Lyra was about to reply when the door pushed open and the twins rushed in. "Mommy" They screamed excitedly putting a smile on the two's face as the twins gave each of them a hug. Her twins, Miley and Miles are both Bruce's kids, and.. The door pushed open again and Ryan ru

    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.
