Chapter 79Tia was seated in her office checking out the designs the company will have to create in two months.She was pissed at how slow her workers were. They still have a lot to cover up yet they are being sluggish. She just didn't know what to do with these people.She had called the manager to complain about this but he said it wasn't their fault but the fault of the designer who didn't bring the designs on time. Now they have a lot of clothes to create with little time.She clicked her tongue when she heard someone knock at her door. She didn't want to see anyone at the moment. She's pissedThe person knocked again and she replied in a harsh yet low tune"Go away" she continued what she was doing, still viewing the designs only for the person to knock louder this time.Tia frowned looking at the door, she stood up before walking towards the door in anger as she said to the person behind the door"Just keep it in mind that you are fired, I would not take such behavior in-" she s
Chapter 80Lyra sat there staring into space. She has been thinking of what to do with Ryan. The boy had called earlier today that he was sorry that he couldn't come the day before but wished to come today. Lyra had to give some excuse that she was busy and the kids weren't around.She didn't know for how long she was going to lie to him. And if the kids find out about it, they would be mad at her.She has spoken to Bryan so many times about the issue but the man said he doesn't even want to hear Ryan's name on her lips anymore. The boy did no wrong"What should I do?" She asked herself. She really wanted Ryan to be around her twins because she could feel the loneliness he was feeling. She wants to help him outSoon she picked up her phone and dialed a number. The phone rang for a short time before the person at the other end answered"Hello, Lyra?""Hm, Bruce. Good afternoon""Good afternoon" he replied quickly. He was wondering why she called. His son didn't go over to see them, so
Chapter 81"Why are we going out of town Tia?" Lyra asked the girl who was smiling mischievously."You'll see," Tia replied."Huh... Since you're going out of town, we'll just see some other time" Bruce said over the phone and Lyra nodded still wondering where Tia was taking her to"Sure, sure" she replied before hanging up."Tia, this isn't funny. You're the one complaining of much work at your company yet you have time to go out of town for fun" she complained but Tia only giggled"Chill Lyra. I just want to spend some time with you. I'm having a feeling that something good is about to happen so we need to create an atmosphere for it, " Tia replied, causing Lyra to roll her eyes.She sat there looking around till they finally stopped at the roadside"We're here," Tia said with bliss as she removed her seatbelt and came down.Lyra looked around, they were by the side of the road, and they weren't anywhere."Where are we?""Here?" Tia chuckled before pulling Lyra to walk with her "Thi
Chapter 82"How do I look?" Henri asked Bruce who was typing away on his laptop. "You're good" he replied without looking at him. Henri frowned at this causing Ryan to burst into laughter"You know daddy is busy, and you keep disturbing him asking how you look, of course he will only do that to you" Ryan giggled"You are suppose to ask me instead. I'm the one who can tell you how you really look"Henri pouted before asking "So Ryan, how do I look?""Hmmm," Ryan placed his hand under his chin as he observed Henri from top to bottom"Okay.... You're good to go", he said to Henri who smiled widely."Thank you, Ryan. You are smart"Ryan only rolled his eyes before saying"You should leave now. You shouldn't keep her waiting" he gestured with his short hand for Henri to leave already.Henri nodded "yes, yes, yes. Wait how did you know?" He asked with narrowed eyes"Well, let's say whenever you want to go see Aunt Tia you always have this wide smile on your face. You always dresses better
Chapter 83Lyra was driving when she received a call from Tia. She picked it up before placing the call on speaker"He proposed!" She screamed before Lyra could even say hello. Tia was super excited that she couldn't help it"Ahhhhh!!!" Lyra screamed. That was one good news she has been longing to hear. She quickly parked her car by the side of the road"Gezzzz... Tia, I'm so happy for you!" She exclaimed. She wanted to jump and shout at the top of her lung from happiness"Congratulations," she said to Tia who kept laughing and giving Lyra the gist of how everything happened. Lyra continued to drive as she listened to Tia's gossip"I can't wait for you to come home so I just have to start the story from now till you get home. Where are you already?" She asked, so eager to explain how everything happened to Lyra face to face.Lyra looked at the time, it was 4:30 pm. She said to Tia"Actually, I'm not coming home just yet. I still have to see Bruce today. I told you I'll be meeting with
Chapter 84"Where are you coming from?" Bryan asked the moment Lyra came down from her car. He had been outside the house waiting for her to come back home."From work, where else?" Lyra replied as she moved closer to him to place a kiss on his lips but he drew backLyra furrowed her brows "What's going on?" She asked"I ask you again Lyra, where the hell are you coming from?" Bryan practically screamed, causing Lyra's face to darken.He knew, he knew she had gone to see Bruce, but how? She wondered"You went over to see Bruce, right?" He growled in anger. Lyra peeped into the house. There was no one in the living room so she sighed in relief. She wouldn't want her children to hear her and Bryan argue again."Bryan calm down. I had only gone to speak with him""You even dare admit it" he pulled her by the arm when she was about to walk inside"Bryan" she whined in pain "You're hurting me"Bryan ignored her and pulled her to him"I warned you about him and his useless son and you had t
Chapter 85It was a Sunday evening, the entire building was quiet. A man sat on his office chair as he looked through old documents and newspapers. He had a frown on his face as he couldn't find exactly what he was searching for.He knew he was close, he could tell.

Chapter 86Ella and a dead body were taken to court. Clinton's, died that instant when he was shot twice as he tried to escape.Ella had cried her eyes out till they got to the courtroom. She didn't know what was going on anymore. She was led inside the courtroom but her mind was far from what the judge or the lawyers were saying.Cold filled her body as she thought of Clinton dead. She didn't want that to happen to the man, they had just gotten married. Her eyes sting with hot tears as she sniffed.She felt a piercing gaze digging into her, she turned to see a woman staring hatefully at her. She wondered who the woman was and why she was looking at her that way.Ella blames Clinton for everything that's happening. If he had told her earlier, she would have found a way out of this mess.
