Chapter 57" Get me those " She pointed at some garlic sauce on the shelf but Henri gave no reply and only continued staring at her making her cheeks flush the more with his heated gaze on her.She hissed silently before going to pick the sauce herself and then returned to her work." Last night was sweet " Henri suddenly said and she began coughing incoherently again and then poured herself a glass of water to drink again." Stop talking about that " She muttered." Really? Why should I? " Henri asked, staring at her the more.Tia sighed and dropped the spoon in her hands." You're tormenting me Henri " She said." How? " Henri asked with a raised brows." By making the atmosphere awkward with your dirty talks " She muttered." Those are not dirty. You know what was dirty? " He asked, making her raise her brows even when she didn't want to." Last night.. " He whispered and her face flushed again and she looked away for a while before looking at him again." Stop " She muttered."
Chapter 58Bruce raised his brows trying so hard to understand if his son really knows what's he talking about and how true it is." You sure? " Bruce asked and Ryan nodded slowly.Bruce smiled lightly at his son and patted her hair slowly." We will deal with that tomorrow, but for now let's get to sleep. Come sleep on my chest " He said, dropping his laptop after switching it off on the bedside drawer." Aren't you busy? " Ryan asked." Not anymore. Let's get to sleep " He said and Ryan smiled excitedly as his dad laid on the bed and he laid on his chest and Bruce covered them with the duvet.* Next Day ** Ford's Enterprise ** Bruce's Office *Ryan had a very big smile on his face as he jumped on his dad's bed in the inner room of his dad's office." It's my first time here. I'm so happy " He jumped up the more, bouncing on the bed and Henri chuckled before returning his gaze back to the laptop he was working on.Some minutes later, Bruce walked into the inner room looking all tir
Chapter 59" Which is? "" Which is.. getting him to sign his company name under OUR name, so I have a share of his profit even after I'm not married to him and the one way I can do it is get him to completely trust me which he does, and I'm a step closer to getting him sign the deal.. just a step " Lyra said with a wicked smile." And you.. you are also one big deal for me. You bear his surname, you have his blood, you are his son.. you are going to get all his inheritance which in both ways, belongs to me " She chuckled darkly." Alright why am I telling you all these? You're just a kid who understands none of this.. take him with you while I get busy with your boss " Ella said, the last words meant for Clinton's guard who nodded and took Ryan away.** Later In The Evening **Lyra walked in elegantly into the booked restaurant with her bodyguard with her." Over there ma'am" One of the servers directed them to the VIP where He was waiting for her.She sighted him at once on entering
Chapter 60" Dad! Dad, are you in there? " Ryan's little voice came from the door." Yeah, what'd you want? " Bruce asked." Are you okay! " Ryan asked instead." Yeah, I'm fine, go to sleep, it's late " Bruce responded." Can I see you first? I also don't want to sleep alone, could I sleep with you? " Ryan's scared little voice came out again.Bruce sighed seeing Ryan wouldn't give up, he walked over to the door and twisted the door knob, opening the door and Ryan stepped in." Dad, I'm sorry " Ryan said worriedly as they both sat on Bruce's bed." It's fine, it's not your fault " Bruce responded with a forced little smile." Dad, so what are you going to do now? " Ryan asked." You don't have to worry, I will sort that out myself " Bruce said." Let's go to sleep now " He added and Ryan obeyed, and they both went to sleep.** Next Morning **" You're really not going to deny it!? " Bruce snapped angrily and at the same time, brokenly.Ella sighed angrily and turned to him. " Shouldn
Chapter 61Bruce thought about it for a while before agreeing with him." Alright, he can stay with us till everything's settled " He said and Ryan smiled lightly." I should thank Lyra for showing up first " Bruce said and Henri handed him his phone.** Lyra's House **Lyra's phone beeped as she worked on a thing on her laptop. " Give me the phone Miley " She said and almost immediately, Miley handed over the phone to her.* Thanks for agreeing to my request * Was all Bruce sent. A thin smile appeared on her lips for a second before it faded off instantly.She sat up properly to text him a reply. * You're welcom.. * She erased it and typed some new words.* Don't sweat it * She texted and then dropped her phone.She took it again and began typing some words. " No, this is not right, right? " She asked herself.She dropped her phone after erasing the text she was typing and then switched off the phone before proceeding to sleep.** Next Day **" Bruce's son? " Bryan asked with a confu
Chapter 62.Lyra was sitting up on the bed when a message came into her phone. She picked up her phone and saw it was from Bruce.She opened it and it read; I heard you came to take Ryan along as I requested but I'm sorry you will have to come back after sometime, he would be staying with me for some time.Lyra sighed and closed her phone, she didn't care to reply, it was his son anyways, he can decide whatever he wants to, she concluded.She put on her slippers and walked downstairs, the twins were already prepared and was having their breakfast."Good morning Mom," they yelled happily in unison."Good morning my babies, how was your night?" She asked and kissed their forehead."It was fine Mom, I dreamt about playing with Ryan. He finally came to stay with us," Miley said which made Lyra smile but deep down she was very sad. Because of what Ryan was passing through at his age, he doesn't need a broken home but a lovely happy family like hers here."The same here Mom, we took him to
Chapter 63Tia let out the breath she has been holding for a long time now. As she walked to Henri's parents home, they asked her to visit them alone this time.She wondered how her friends and family from her former neighbor must be doing. She remembered a dear friend she use to have from Highschool before meeting Henri.She and Dave had been friends for a long time and he never got to tell her about how he always felt for her until a day they almost had sex in his room when she went to visit him.She had her suspicions that Dave liked her for a while now but she always turns a blind eye to that. It was not like he has come to tell her openly before so she would not assume anything.She looked down at herself but she shook her head as she sighed. Remembering what happened that day made her face turn red.'How the hell did he get to my breast?!' she mentally screamed, still not able to forget because then she was still naive and was just coming up.Thank goodness she was able to get b
CHAPTER 64.Tia got to stay with Henri's mom until the next day before she leaves. She gets back home and finds Lyra playing with her children in the living room."Ain't they going to school today?" Tia asked with concern as she still met them at home."No, they ain't. I'm taking them shopping. I promised them I would take them shopping. Go and get prepared, you would be going out with us," Lyra said to Tia."Yes Aunty Tia, you would be going out with us," the children said which made Tia smile. She embraced each of them in a hug and patted their hair."I will join you guys right away," she said and rushed into her room.She came out later all dressed up. They walked towards the car and their driver left for the shopping mall."Mom, I would want a new teddy," Miley said which made Lyra chuckle."But I just got you two Teddy's last week," Lyra said."They ain't new anymore… I want a new mummy," Miley cried out."Alright, I will get you a new one," Lyra promised which made Miley smile.
Chapter 99Lyra 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 didn't kno
Chapter 98"So I don't get to receive any hug because I am not the sibling?" Bruce asked pouting his lipsThe entire house became quiet as they looked at Bruce. Lyra looked at him in shock, what the hell?!The children laughed as they all rushed to hug him"Of course, we would hug you too, Daddy" Miley was the one who said this with a giggle.Miley was already referring to him as daddy, this caused his heart to melt. 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,
Chapter 97Bruce didn't know what to do at the moment as he kept staring at the paper in front of him. Lyra had given him some time to think. 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
Chapter 96It was an artificial rain, it wasn't so cloudy and there was no lightning or thunder but the water kept dropping. 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. She said while looking at the stone"My condolences""I would say th
Chapter 95The moment Lyra entered the house she began to scream Bryan's name. She had gotten home late so she knew he was at home. She was so upset, she didn't care if the children heard her scream or not.Everyone rushed out only to see a soaked Lyra. She had refused to drive down. She had walked under the rain. She made her way to Bryan who was coming down to meet with her and landed him two resounding slapsThe children gasped while Tia rushed to meet Lyra, she didn't know what Bryan would do after that slap and she didn't want to take any chances."Get you damn things and get out of my house!" Lyra spat in anger."You better do that quietly before I call the police"Bryan didn't know what to say. He didn't know what had happened or what Lyra had heard to make her this angry"Let's talk about what's making you angry, dear. You've been upset since yesterday. What is wrong?" He asked as he used his hands to rub his cheeks to relieve the pain.Lyra didn't want to hear any of his rubb
Chapter 94Lyra woke up with a severe headache, back pain, and puffy and red eyes. She had a runny nose as she had cried a lot the night before. She felt miserable as she searched for her phone on the bed that had been ringing for a while now.She didn't look at who was calling, she only picked the call up and spoke with a very low voice"Hello""Miss Lyra, Good morning" the person at the other end greeted."Hm, good morning" she yawned"This is Doctor Dennis, the DNA results are out. If you would like, you can come to pick it up today"Lyra jumped off the bed the moment she heard the man say that."Okay, thank you so much" she quickly ended the call and wanted to rush to the bathroom.She realized that she was not in her room but in her children's room. She smiled when she remembered what happened last night, they had created a space for her to sleep in their bed with them.She went to her room to have her bath, she noticed Bryan wasn't there. When she checked the time it was 11 am,
Chapter 93The frown on Lyra's face was so scary that no one spoke after she embraced the kids.She kissed them all on each cheek before saying to Tia"Would you please take them inside the room"Tia looked at her with narrowed eyes before calling the kids to her. She noticed that Lyra's eyes were red and her voice hoarse"Play them some cartoon so they could watch," Lyra said to Tia who could only nod at her wordsWhen the children were out of sight, she turned to face Bryan"As I was saying, Or else what?"Bryan stood there frozen as he has never seen Lyra this way before. He could feel the heat from where he stood."Lyra, what I mean is-""I don't care what you mean Bryan. This should be the last time I would see fear in MY children's eyes because of you, okay?"Bryan narrowed his eyes at her words, she had always called the children their own, what's with the MY now? He wonderedHe couldn't understand why she was behaving that way. He calmed down and walked over to her"Are you ok
Chapter 92Lyra frowns as she walked back to sit again"Bryan came here?" Ella nodded"Yes, he did. He did say I shouldn't let you know. When was that? Five days ago. He even visited before you or Bruce did""He did?" Lyra found herself asking again."But Bryan told me he didn't know you were jailed""Bryan told you a lot of lies Lyra. I don't know how you allow one man to fool you twice"Lyra didn't know where Ella was driving but she found her eyes watered. She tried not to cry out loud though"It's not time to cry just yet, Lyra. I have a lot to tell you that Bryan hasn't or should I say wouldn't tell you""Firstly, you would have to ask yourself what does Bryan want from me? Does he love me like he claims he did?"Ella looked up at Lyra whose hands had formed into a fist."Well, no" she replied to her question"Bryan doesn't love you, sist. He is using you just as I had used Bruce. He has a reason too just like I had a reason to use Bruce. Would you like to know?"Lyra didn't repl
Chapter 91Lyra made her way to the station to see Ella. Since the children made that comment she had been disturbed about what Bryan knew that Ella knew.Neither of them doesn't even know the other. Things were getting really confusing to her. Bryan and Ella never really shared any relationship where he would know that she knows somethingAs she made her way inside the station, she saw Ella already waiting for her there. With a smile Ella said,"I knew you would come"Lyra sat down opposite her but didn't say a word. Ella didn't mind, she continued"Ah, I knew the obedient fool would pass my message to you. How do you still look him in the eyes after all he has done to you?" Ella asked with a sneerLyra simply replied "I didn't come here to talk about Bruce. Since you wanted to see me, I came to grace you with my presence. What is it you want to see me for?"Ella chuckled "Grace her presence""Did you know I lost my baby?" She suddenly asked, making Lyra frown."No, I didn't know""D
