THIRD PERSON. Lyra kept thinking she doesn't want to create memories but she knew the moment she was living now was also going to be a memory of tomorrow. "See over there" Captain said to both of them. They looked at it and it was beautiful."You see the sea and the sky look like they are one. It looks like the sea is touching the sky and it looks like that's the end." Captain tells them and they listen to him."You know what's behind this." He asks Lyra and Lyra nods her head like a kid."The other part of the world." He says. Lyra gets intrigued with his words. "When we think it's our limit I can't go beyond this then something big is gonna happen in your life and it makes you think it could get worse." Captain tells her.Lyra listens very carefully because he is right here. Whenever she thought the world would give her more pain, the world gave her more pain in different forms."If you are truly Walton's daughter then I will tell you one thing. It's never easy to be back with th
STEPHENO POV."I have questions and it's weird I can't get answers to any of them." I said in frustration."You are right Lawyer this is a real case where you have to find the answer." Lorenzo said to me."Right! Get out of my car." I told him."We have to go to Mr. Walton said he found something very useful." Lorenzo said, looking at his watch."How come you keep wearing that same broken watch?" I said to him, his gaze on his watch meant he was sick."Stop looking at it. It's making me scared of you." I said to him annoyed with his behaviour."I am starting to drive. If you don't stop staring at it then I am going to kick you out." I said to him seriously. He didn't stop staring at it and gave me no option but to start driving. We soon took off on the main road. Going to Walton from our office was a long way. We had our office in the south where their house was situated on the opposite side. "You know right today we have an exclusive meeting with Arabs." I told him. He hummed to m
LYRA POV.Lorenzo was holding me through the ride. We soon landed at our Premises. I have decided to stop thinking about what Dad and Mom can do because they literally can do everything. Lorenzo helped me get down. The sound of the copper was really irritating. We got down and I saw Dad standing in the distance but he was not alone.I saw Philip and beside him Stepheno. They must have returned here after we got into the moving ship.Dad rushed to me and I also started to walk towards him with Lorenzo with me.I was pulling Lorenzo with me because I wanted to get his wound treated here. I felt responsible for him because I was the one who did it. "Lyra, you don't know how scared I was for you." Dad said to me and hugged me. I hugged him back but only put my one hand around him."What happened?" Dad said, looking at me holding his hands tightly."Dad, he is hurt." I told Dad. Lorenzo shows how looks a little embarrassed."But why are you holding him?" Dad asked. Philip came forward an
THIRD PERSON.He could clearly see her tears rolling down her eyes. He lifted his hands and touched her cheeks with his thumb and wiped the tears off her face.Her small face, swollen eyes and plumpy lips were driving him crazy. He gulped down his saliva looking at her. She noticed Adam's apple and tight muscles trying to sprout out of the shirt. It was different, not like last time. They had lots of dissimilarities yet they wished they could continue like the last times when they didn't have the need to know each other.Now Everything is different. She was from a very well known family while he was from a family who had abandoned him. It was not one but a list of differences. "Who said you are crying?" Stepheno told her. He was just sitting beside her on the couch.All the mean things he had said to her which he didn't mean at all was making me feel bad about it.Who wouldn't feel bad when you meet with someone after a long time you don't expect them to say bad things about you.St
STEPHENO POV. She screamed, making the entire house tremble. She distanced herself from Ronald which shocked me. She cried loud enough for all the staff to know what happened. Lorenzo was standing beside and I saw him. It was difficult to see her in that State. This was the first time we were seeing her break down in front of us.It was difficult for me and a Lot more for Lorenzo. Still we weren't the first one she wants now."Lorenzo no." I told him. When I saw him trying to go to her. She needs her father now, not us.Just then Ronald walked closer to her. She didn't see him coming. Ronald bent down to her level but she turned her head to the opposite."It makes me sad too. He was a nice person." Ronald told her. I rolled my eyes at the choice of his words. Ronald himself is aware of how bad that person was and Lyra has the right to know what kind of man he was. I can't believe he is still hiding. "Dad.." Lyra cried and hugged Ronald with trembling hands. Lorenzo's focus was fix
THIRD PERSON POV. Ronald signalled the two to move out of the room. The house which is considered to be the safest was not safe anymore. It's going to get much harder from here now. The three of them walked out of the room and Ronald walked towards his office. He knew nobody could dare to tap his office. They reached the office and three of them without speaking started the search for bugs. They went on searching in all areas until there was none left.Ronald was sure enough that bugs can't be planted in his office and he was right. "Do we have a way to find out if they are recently planted?" Stepheno asked. "I don't know. Call N" Lorenzo said to Stepheno. "He must be in a soccer match now." Stepheno told him."Tell him it's about Belleza." Lorenzo told him to say."Who is N?" Ronald asked them. He was not aware of the person they were talking about. "Mr. Walton, he is someone who is smart enough to crack down any security code." Stepheno told him. "Mr. Walton, with your permi
LYRA POV.I was inside my room. Everything was neat cleaned but not my mind I wished I could erase it. The scene kept playing inside my head but the zeal to stay here was high. I have been shaking and my heart is in a mess. I have learnt how bad and miserable it feels when you lose someone who was like a family.I tried calling Anna but she wouldn't pick up. I can't get hold of Mom and Dad acting weird and then there's Rothschild in the house.I want Mom. A wipe my tears and open the curtain of my room. Security had been tight. It feels the same as when I first arrived. I close the curtain, the willingness to look out, die at the sight of old memories. I pick up the emergency number which is given to me. I dial it and wait for the other person to receive it. The phone rings and my heartbeat drums inside my chest."Hii.. honey." "..." "Hello..is everything okay?""No." I tell her, leaving a heavy sigh."When are you coming?" I ask her. I know she has an idea about what I am talkin
LYRA POV.It was impossible to control my tears so I let it out. Philip didn't dare to even make a little sound; it was his way of giving me privacy.I would look at the street thinking how everything is sleeping peacefully in their house while I am not ready for something more.Rothschild.I scoffed. In the entire world, Dad really thought they were the safest one for me. It was my second day in America at my house when everything Started to feel safe and they were all falling into the right place.Everything scared me, everything from seeing the huge house to all the workers working for me.Things were already bad when my memory Started to return one by one. It was like my mind would play a part like a movie. I started to see my past life in my dreams like a nightmare and the pain it gave me made me helpless to even think.I suffered and suffered and found no cure. Dad and Mom were constant support to me. They were helping me and I was harming them.Whenever I get a call from my
LYRA POV. Who is crying? Stop it.Again that loud voice.What are you injecting in me? "Lyraaa.." They take my name."Hmm." I say."Doctor..Doctor." someone yells.Stop being loud I want to say but before that I really want to see the face of the person who is shouting near my ear. "She opened her eyes." Mom.She was crying. I see dark circles around her eyes. "How are you feeling dear?" She asks and just then Dad comes beside her.The doctor comes in and checks on me. She gives a report about me and I hear her.I do feel weak because of the antibiotics in me. I was shot with two bullets. One of them just passed through my skin while the other Injured my arms. Right to be specific. There's a high chance that I won't be able to lift heavy things or work from them. I am happy because I never loved to work but a corner of my heart feels sad. After the doctors left. Mom cries her heart out telling me how I was knocked out for six days and how Loren went crazy seeing you lying in be
LYRA POV.It's the day we return back home. Three days here were the best days. Lorenzo feels like a family to me and I have discussed this with no one so far.It's just my feelings. I think it was the best decision to give him a chance. His anger is not in control fully but I know he will never take such measures on anyone."It's time to go, Sweetheart." Lorenzo calls me. I smile at him and walk to him."Can I kiss you?" He asks and that's the best thing about him. He never does something without my consent. "Hmm." I say. "I'll take that as yes." He says and kisses my lips. I don't think I have ever received so much love on a kiss.He never once made me feel like he was taking advantage of me but always showed me love and nothing else."Are you Miss Walton?" A sudden knock on my door makes my heart Jump out my chest."Jess, Yes I am in." I shout at the door. "Miss Walton is safe. I repeat, Miss Walton is safe. Secure the area." I panic when I hear his tone."Stay here." Loren says
LORENZO POV. Mr. Walton called me this morning when I was inside the warehouse doing my morning exercise. We tried everything on them but none of them gave us the name of the mastermind behind all this.The only thing they ever say is that he is someone closer than we think. Mr. Walton wanted me to get to his house as soon as possible. I know it was because of Lydia. After turning the whole world around we found her.She still hasn't explained to us why she was staying in such a place when she had everything. This made me doubt at her but Mr. Walton didn't look like he was leaving her there.I only help back because of Lyra. She has been dying to see her and after she went through I can't let her suffer more.If she wants something then she will get it. I reached the mansion. Nothing really changed except the security.Mr. Walton updated the security and I don't think anybody will ever try to sneak in. "Good morning Mr. Walton." I greet him. I see Lydia descending the stairs. I don
LORENZO POV.How dare he enter my territory without any fear and think I would leave him just like that.Here I am in Romania waiting inside the private jet to get the signal so I can enter the country without notice. "I don't think we will get more time." Beck says and he is right."I'm sure we will have enough time to finish him." I say and they all nod in response."I still can't believe you guys pulled out of the saloon. I have been maintaining my image and you guys trashed it today." Oreal said annoyed at us. Well she can't be blamed.The only girl who doesn't care about what people think is Lyra. I don't think anything is affecting her now. She is very busy now with the new project and lots of things.I really admire how she is giving her best in everything. I have seen her design and it's just amazing. Her design stands apart from everyone. "Great, 2 hours." Paul announces and I smile. "Get going boys." Stepheno calls out in sleep and we enter the Romania border. We have alr
LYRA POV. I was getting ready in my room and my mind wouldn't allow me to think about anything else. I trust whatever Dad told me but I still want to know the truth. I talked to Dad about Andrew and I am happy he helped me clear things about everything. I decided to call Andrew by his name because he didn't really deserve to be called father. Mom was on her way here that's what Dad told me so I didn't call her.I know what this meeting was about but there was this feeling inside me which was making me nervous for some reason. Lorenzo was going to be with me and I have to say. That movie night showed me a gentler side of him. He is an angry man but the way he is learning to control himself makes me happy.It's his progress and he is successfully completing it. I wonder if I will ever overcome my fears. I know my strength but I am also afraid of my weakness."Little Bud, are you done?" Dad asked from the door."Argh…Dad not again." I say looking at myself for the last time in the mi
RONALD WALTON POV. I have been thinking how to keep Lyra away from everything going on. I don't want her involvement in anything. So I have decided that it will be today.Today is the day I will announce it to the world. That's final I have decided."Good morning Mr. Walton." My P.A greets me through the call. "Good morning. I would like you to arrange an urgent meeting with the BOD and then I want the legal department and Planning department to be present in the meeting." I told him.Generally, I allow room for mistakes but today I don't think I will be able to tolerate anybody causing any mistakes."When are we planning to have this meeting? Sir?" He asked. I thought about it and calculated it roughly."3pm. Conference hall." I said and cut the call. If Stepheno is tapping my call I will kill that child this time."Send Stepheno in." I say and the phone starts ringing."Hello Mr. Walton" He greets."I will be visiting Lyra today." I say and he replies quickly."Dew will be accompan
STEPHENO POV. He was still on the cloth he wore last. He didn't look like the age he should look and that surprised the rest of the room."It's an honour to meet you Mr. Walton." Oreal spoke for everyone in the room because the boys went all mute for some reason.The one who looked lost was Paul. His presence affected him the lot. Oreal took a step towards Mr. Walton and greeted him and then the rest followed except Paul. The hatred was what was blocking him. "I think I remember you…." Mr. Walton said when Paul wasn't moving from his place."Paul Klein." He addressed himself."Yah right, I didn't think you would be related to Rothschild." He said and his words did shock me. I wonder if that is a diss or compliment. "It's nice meeting you in person." Paul said coming out from his place. He then extended his hand and Mr. Walton took it gently and shook his hands like he was his close associate.I wanted to introduce everyone personally but he was in a rush for some reason. I cut the
STEPHENO POV. We have been trying to track Mr. Walton's location for hours and it's a very difficult task as his location keeps fluctuating with every passing minute.It's sure that he had some kind of protection installed in his device that is helping him to cover his tracks. I wonder what Mr. Walton is upto that he needed this type of security. Kia and Pual are working hard too but the results are not something we are proud of. We tried finding Lydia Walton and were quite successful until the signal failed.It looked like someone was trying their best to cover them both and that man was faster than us. In all the mess I texted Lorenzo and updated him about the issue here. He too was frustrated after hearing the result. "Hey! How about we take a break?" Kia asked me, I nodded my head and he walked out of the room with his cell phone.Among all, Kia was really giving up his precious time because his wife was pregnant and no woman would want her husband away in his time.I should t
LYRA POV. I walked towards my bed for support when my entire body collapsed on the floor and I hit my head on the concrete. The pain I felt made me scream out that I heard footsteps approaching my room. I held my head so tightly thinking it would reduce my pain even though I knew nothing was going to happen. "Are you okay?" I heard their questions. My full focus was on my head so I didn't reply to them but I did nod my head. " Please don't cry." He coaxed me and it was not something people have done for me. We both were sitting on the floor, him being in front of me. "It hurts." I tell them and cry in front of them like a kid. "I will get some ice for her." Matt says and he walks out of the room leaving me and Lorenzo. "Show me where you are hurt?" Lorenzo asks softly and I look at him with tears filled in them. I remember what he warned about crying earlier. "Everywhere" I tell him and tears roll down my cheeks like rain."What did I say about crying the last time?" He asks
