LYRA POV
"Are you a Good Person? " I asked him. My eyes were moist by now.He cupped my face. My face felt small in his large hands and he looked at me instantly."I'm not a Good Person Lyra, Но я клянусь Богом, я стану дьяволом, если кто-нибудь попытается причинить тебе вред.(But I swear to God I'll become a devil if anyone ever tries to harm you)" I pouted at him. He again started speaking Russian or whatever language is called."You are speaking weird" I said."You are so innocent Lyra" He said and I looked at him. His deep voice was making me weak. I could feel my body shiver. His words repeated inside my head. I was innocent what??"I'm not" I replied breathless."Your innocence is addictive to me, Lyra" He said and I gulped my Saliva. His voice was so seductive."You're… speaking" He put his finger on my lips and I swear my body was reacting weirdly I could feel my inside dangling.He picked me up from the swing and sat on the sofa near the tree. Placing me on his lap I really forget about my injury.He touched my lips and slowly caressed my cheeks. I liked what he was doing. Slowly his hands reached my neck and he started touching my neck.He stopped but I wanted more. It was a new feeling for me and I liked it."Tell me to Stop, Lyra '' He said in my ears, his breath hitting my neck. My brain couldn't function further. I wanted to experience this new feeling."I like what you are doing" I told him the truth. I have never felt this before and from my side I thought this was right.His hands were now on my breast and he started squeezing them. It felt good for the first time but as his hands squeezed them harder and it felt better.I was moaning in pleasure. He started kissing my neck and I caught his shirt tighter. Not after long he started sucking the area he kissed. This sensation was beyond my control so I just went with the flow.I lightly pushed him. I just couldn't bear this unknown feeling.I hugged him a bit tighter and his hands left my breast and he hugged me back. My body was still trumbling from this touch."Did you like it?" He asked and I was just too satisfied to speak."I feel good. This treatment made me forget the bad thing" I said and he looked at me terrified and I looked at him confused. After some time his eyes changed to mischievous."Remember your only Doctor is me" He said with a smirk on his face and I nodded my head shyly.It was a treatment to forget bad things I noted in my head. We stayed by the tree for quite some time. I was on his lap and he was playing with my hair.My head was resting near his chest and I could hear his heartbeat. It was smoothing."Are you sleepy little hearts?" He asked and I nodded my head in no. I was feeling magical in that place. I thought if I moved away from there I might lose this magic so I wanted to stay."You need to rest, Lyra" He reminded me and I still nodded my head in No. He chuckled lightly patting my head. After my little bit of protest he agreed to stay a little longer.Time passed by and we both stayed there. I was glad my words were considered by someone.Chirping of birds woke me up. I looked around and found myself in the same place we were yesterday. I tried to move his hands but his heavy hands were protectively around my waist. I tried to wake him but he was sleeping peacefully."Get Up" I said, shaking him a bit. I got no response."Get UP" I shouted in his ear slowly. He shook a bit but still didn't get up."Get Up, Big Bear" I said giggling by the name I gave him. I hit his chest lightly and he groaned in annoyance"Lyra, I'll tie you up." He said snoring."Birds are awake" I told him, trying my best to free from his grip."They slept early yesterday" He said"No they didn't " I told him, confused."Yes they did" I argued back."WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE" He was just too loud to chase all the birds from the tree. I quickly freed myself and hurriedly sat on the swing. Why was I acting like I did something wrong, human instinct I guess.I turned back to look who was the owner of the voice and saw him. He was the one who barged into my room without knocking."That bastard" I heard him say next to me he clearly mentioned to the other person who was shouting. I agreed with him. People shouldn't shout, especially in the morning.He rushed towards the trees and I wished my legs were not injured. I so wanted to run inside."I wished my legs were not injured" I slowly mumbled to myself."Do you wish to run?" He asked and I was surprised with my ability. I blinked my eyes twice to tell him yes. He came down from the sofa and sat in front of me.He stared at me and then kept on staring. It was just too awkward to be starred by someone so good looking so I smiled. Stupid thing to do but still I did.He smiled back and slowly his hand reached my head and he started patting my head."Loren…crazy animal. Can't you see she is sick and you brought her out." He was angry and so pumped up. One could sense the disappointment in his voice.He came near the Swing and as soon as his eyes fell on my neck. He clenched his fist angrily. He moved towards Loren and caught Loren's shirt collar and punched him hard.Loren lost his balance but soon regained it. Why were they fighting?"She is just a kid?" He said to Loren and Loren was quiet. He didn't say anything and I had no idea what was going on. He removed the phone from his pocket and called someone.After the call we all remained silent. Loren was avoiding eye contact with me. I felt bad about it because just a few minutes ago he couldn't stop staring at me.Two men and a woman came to where we were standing. I was shocked to see how active these people were in the morning. They all stood in a line and Greeted Loren."Marco, Take Lyra inside" He said and I started getting up from the swing when Loren rushed to my side. He picked me up and Marco brought the wheelchair and he made me sit on it.After that Marco started pushing the chair towards the mansion. I was being taken inside. I looked at them and they were glaring at each other like they would tear each other up in no time.I am just an outsider searching for a place to take shelter. Which is just impossible?LYRA POVMarco and the other maid helped me inside the room. Compared to yesterday I was feeling much better. The pain on my leg was gone too. "I can do it myself" I said to the maid. She nodded her head and went inside the washroom. I heard her open the tap she must be cleaning. Marco was still inside. It was weird how comfortable I was feeling with them. I wanted to remove the bandage. It looked dirty and I wasn't feeling the pain. I removed the clips which were holding the bandage and slowly started to unroll the bandage from my leg.Marco's hand stopped me from doing it. "Stop doing things on your own" He said and I looked at him. He looked angry. "Leave" I said to him straightly. He removed the bandage and threw it in the dustbin. He came near and showed me his wicked smile. "Remember you are nothing" He said rudely. I was taken back by his words but still refined myself from crying. Why was he acting like that? It's always been hard to understand those People who are crazy.
LYRA POV. I was standing at the door when I heard a knock on the door. I took my time and after a few seconds opened the door. It was the same maid who came earlier. She was standing on the doorstep holding a tray in her hands. I smiled at her and noticed the two men whose conversation I've heard. They gave me not so pleasing looks and I chose to ignore them. Growing up with myself has always taught me to always save energy for the biggest problem. Wasting my time on them now will give nothing. I told her to enter inside. She placed the tray on the table and then she carefully arranged the food on the plate. After she was done she served me. "Hey, can I ask you something?" I asked her politely. She looked petrified hearing my question. I didn't even ask her the question yet. Her reaction made me think again whether I should ask her or not. "How long have you been working here?" I asked. She frowned at my question. "15 yrs" She replied in a low tone. I smiled at her in understan
LYRA POVI removed the coat he was wearing and saw his chest fully covered with blood. I unbuttoned his shirt and found a bullet on his right side. It was difficult to remove the bullet because the bullet was not a regular one, it was oval shaped. "Go save yourself Ly…ra" He was barely audible. I could feel his pain and I made up my mind to not leave him there. "I'm not leaving you here sir" I said to him. I found the bullet and touched the area the bullet had hit. This was not going to be easy. I looked back at the table and saw Loren picking up that woman. She must have fainted due to shock. I knew about this because this same thing has happened to me. I ran up to the table and the huge Chandeliers were all over the table. All the fruits on the table were scattered around and I found what I was looking for. I picked up the knife which was laying on the ground and saw a butter cutting knife in the corner of the room.I ran up to the man. I can do this, I said to myself. He would
LYRA POV. Loren kept me behind him. We were sticking to the walls and after a few seconds we heard the sound of a third bullet."All clear" Stepheno said. I could hear all of them now. Loren gave me a different Bluetooth and I put it in my ears. We took the right path as directed by Marco. Successfully we made it out of the mansion. Marco was out preparing the car. I saw the same lady waiting impatiently for us. She somehow looked like Stepheno to me. She must be waiting for his son. She was relieved to see Stepheno. I could see the tension going out seeing Stepheno safe. Her eyes were searching for everyone and as soon as she looked at me I turned my eyes away from her. If she finds out her son was inside for a longer time because of me then she would definitely start hating me. "Let's get out of here fast" Loren said and all nodded their heads. I was going with Loren when he stopped me. "N, take Lyra with you" Loren said to someone and I was taken back with his words. I am no
LYRA POV. Marco extended his hands for me to hold but I denied him. I tried getting up on my own. I put both my hands on the road and tried to pull me upward. I got my balance and was about to get up when I landed flat on my butt on the ground. My legs were not responding. I tried to pinch my legs and didn't feel any pain. Seeing me struggle Marco offered his hands again. Denying him again I tried to get up once again. "Why are you stubborn?" He was clearly annoyed by my behaviour. "I can't feel anything in my legs," I told him. Hearing me he sighed in despair and came to the side and picked me up. He then started going towards the car. "Pull the door" He said and I looked at him confused."Pull the door of the car" He repeated again like I didn't hear him the first time. "Loren, never asked me to pull doors," I said to him. Hearing me he started glaring at me. "I'll drop you" He said threatening me. "You didn't come on your own!" I said to him, His face became rigid hearing
LYRA POV. It's been three days now and I haven't left Lorens side. I would stay inside the room all the time. At night I would sleep on the couch and in the morning take care of him. Stepheno arranged a couch for me and I was so grateful to him. Marco would come and stand on the door and look at Loren for a few seconds and go away. Like Marco there were many others who would come and take a look at Loren. They truly loved their leader.That lady who I saw earlier was Stepheno's mother. She is called the second Madam because of the order. Loren's mother is called the First lady. Her name is Ellen. She was very kind to me and I was returning the same kindness. I asked her about the time in Mansion when she was screaming that I was alive. Ellen said she mistook me for someone else and the topic dropped there. In three days I have learnt a lot about them. Loren's full name is Lorenzo Rothschild and Ellen was shocked to hear me call him in short name."Lyra, your lunch is here" Ellen
LYRA POV. Ellen left the room and like every time I cried. I cleaned the room while crying. The build up emotion inside me wanted to come out. I walked up to him. Putting my head on his bed I started crying loudly. "Please wake up. I need to here" I cried, repeating the same line again and again. After I was done crying it was already late. I didn't expect Ellen to call me for dinner. She was angry with me and apart from her I knew nobody else would call me. I decided to sleep and I slept in the same position. My head on his bed. It was the fifth day today. I looked at Lorenzo and he looked a little different today. I mean he was still in vegetative state but his body didn't look like he was sick. I wanted to wash up but before that I thought about changing his bandage. I walked up to the drawers. This drawer was below his bed. Down on his bed there was a compartment like thing and all the accessories related to him were kept here.I removed the cotton, a steriliser with which
LYRA POV. I neatly arranged my clothes in a drawer which was empty. I walked out of Ellen's room. It was easy to find a kitchen. The house interior was completely designed of wood. It looked amazing from both inside and outside. Lorenzo does have amazing skills in his hands. Like Lorenzo everything in the kitchen was well maintained. It had all the electrical appliances, all kinds of cutlery, from fruits to vegetables everything was present there. I preferred vegetables more so I was going to make that but the men were working hard so they needed protein. So I decided to make both meat and veggies. I went up to the refrigerator and opened it. I saw meat kept on the last shelf. It was easy to find meat because they were stocked. I saw lots of canned juice and decided to drink them when I got thirsty. I started cleaning meat because I preferred washing everything first then cooking. I washed the utensils I decided to cook and the knives. I was careful enough to lock the door beca
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
