Back at the mansion Ayden helped Eryna walk into the garden where the gardener was planting twigs. Eryna narrowed her eyes and looked at the twig from far away trying to figure out which specie they belonged to, but soon gave up because she was unable to see it properly.
Eryna stepped on the soft grass with her bare feet and slowly walked closer to the twigs that were to be placed in the soil.
“What is this?” Eryna crouched beside one of the pots and stared at it with a stupid expression.
“Miss, this Myrtle tree, it is very beautiful once it grows up,” the gardener replied in excitement.
“Myrtle tree… never heard of that one…” Eryna pondered for a few seconds a
Inside the mansion, in the lounge two ladies giggled at something, Ayden walked in leisurely through the front door with his hands tucked into his trousers pocket. Emerald looked into his direction and her expression changed.“What took you so long? We have been waiting for you for forever,” She spoke with a hint of anger.“Nothing! I got a call from a friend, I was talking to him,” Ayden walked in closer and sat beside his mother.“So what were you talking about?” He asked.“Why should we tell you that? It’s our secret girly talk.” Eryna spoke with a smug face.“Ah! It hurts,” Ayden held his heart in a dramatic way and started acting.“Hahaha!! Then let me help ease your pain,” Emerald patted his shoulder and spoke.
Ryker arrived at the mansion and the family sat around the dining table. Everything about the moment felt like a huge mistake, Emerald was staring at Ayden who was stealing his gaze from Ryker, Micah and Eryna who sat opposite to each other by the table had something they were uncomfortable about.Nobody spoke, just some awkward sounds of a spoon lightly touching the plates were heard.‘This is so suffocating! Why is nobody speaking?’ Eryna took the spoon to her mouth as she waited for someone to break the ice.‘Sigh! I will have to say something or I will die sitting here in the midst of this awkward family,” Eryna breathed in and picked up the soup pot and placed it before Ryker.“You should try this, I made it my
“Sniff,sniff,sniff.” Eryna’s nose caught something while she was asleep that caused her to wake up. She slowly opened her eyelids and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling with daze.“Oh! I forgot I was not in my room,’ Eryna stretched her hands and pulled up her body from the bed, and yawned a bit. Her arms were widely stretched when she realised that she was not supposed to be on the bed.“Gasp!” Eryna retreated her hands and looked at the other side of the bed, that’s was empty.“Huh? Why am I here?” Eryna glanced at the couch and saw the blanket she was rolled into yesterday night on the couch, it was alReady folded properly and placed on the side.Knock-knock…
‘Clap-clap“Everybody! Can I have your attention, please?” A tall lady spoke in a loud clear voice.The workers sitting in their cabins slowly popped their heads out and looked at the woman with respect.“Okay! This is Renya,” she pointed towards Eryna who stood a feet away from her.“She is the new intern, Would you like to introduce yourself?” She asked Eryna who was not looking so good, her complexion was pale.“No-I am good,” she shrugged her shoulders.“Okay, so this is your cabin and be sure to get along with your seniors,” she gave a warm smile and walked away. The workers seemed least intereste
Eryna sat by the dining table holding a spoon while staring at the file before her. It had been three hours now that she had returned from the office but she hadn’t even started it yet.“What is this? What language is this? Kill me please! Somebody!!”Eryna wailed and her stomach churned making her feel like her organs were getting entangled together,“Haha!! What happened?” Ayden walked in on her and dragged the chair beside her and sat up on it.“This happened!” Eryna pointed at the file as if it was something poisonous.“Hmm—what is that?” Ayden picked it up and read through the lines with a serious face, Eryna too felt curious at what he was r
Eryna had slept very peacefully at night, she woke up in a great mood forgetting everything about the work she had to do, She dressed up and like yesterday Micah had left for work early in the morning. The driver drove her to the office. She walked into the enormous building and past the reception. Eryna quickened her pace to get to the elevator and got inside right in time.She was surprised to see that Zukey was standing there holding onto a bunch of boxes that looked really heavy.“Good morning, Renya!” Zukey spoke with a cheerful voice.“Good morning to you as well but what’s up with the boxes?” She gave her a hand by taking two of the boxes from the stack.“These are the deliveries for our department. I am supposed to take t
Eryna decided to leave, she stepped away from the crowd and walked back to her cabin, where Zukey was already sitting Scribbling over a piece of paper.“You are back! How did it go? Did the director scold you?” She asked.“Scold? Why would I get scolded? He was just here to talk, and it went well.” Eryna sat beside her and picked up the file that wasn't there before.“What is this?” Eryna asked.“Oh! The team leader gave everyone work. That’s your part of the work.” She replied.“Okay!!” Eryna scratched her forehead as she knitted her eyebrows.‘I can’t take help from Ayden again, he too has to manage hi
Eryna pushed Hunter against the wall and she closed the door of the stair room behind her.“Explain!” Eryna asked in a serious tone as she looked up at his face because he was very tall, her hand was on the wall trapping Hunter inside it,Hunter breathed in deeply and pulled her by her waist and pushed her against the wall and looked down at Eryna.“You explain first! How come did you turn into Renya after coming back to the country?” He asked,“It’s a long story,” Eryna’s face formed into a frown and she loosened her stiff body, all her guards were down as she stared at Hunter.“I have time,” Hunter retreated.
When the news of Eryna waking up spread, everyone came swarming into the mansion like bees, Everybody was so delighted to see Eryna again, Micah walked down the stairs and saw his house look like a stable. Everywhere he saw people munching on stuff while the other laid on the couch as if it was their home. Micah was unable to take it in anymore so he confronted them. “Okay! The party is over, you can all get lost now!” He stared at Hunter who was stuffing his face with pasta. “Why?! It’s fun here,” he scratched his back with the couch and continued eating, he looked nothing like the first time Micah saw him, at first Micah got some elite vibes from him but now that he had seen him for so long he slowly understood what kind of human he was. He moved his gaze towards Grayson who was snoring on the second couch, Micah grinned his teeth and picked up a pillow, and threw it on Grayson’s face that made him get up with lightning speed. “Who is it? What happened?” He asked in a defensive t
The curtains were tightly shut, The room was dark, but the person that laid still for a long time finally showed a movement, Her index finger vibrated showing the sign of life, her eyebrows twitched slightly as her eyelids parted. Everything was blurring for her, she blinked a few times to adjust her vision. She could feel her limbs sour, she had laid in that position for too long, she tried to move her body but that was too heavy for her. Eryna slowly tried to lift her hand on which an IV drip was attached.She wanted to speak but her tongue was too heavy for her to lift,‘What is going on? Why is everything so dark?’ She tried to move but was left breathless after a few attempts.“Why is my body so heavy? And why does it hurt so much?’ Eryna thought to herself as she stared at the ceiling w
Beep—beep—beep…That was the last thing I heard before I fell into a deep slumber, I felt calm, everything around me was soothing, and I felt like I was floating between the clouds, after a very long time the feeling of freedom was felt by me.I saw a bright light, and everything around me suddenly, I was walking on soft grass with my bare feet, I saw a wooden bridge that led to a garden full of roses, the other side of the bridge was a very beautiful place, butterflies were flying around and dancing in the mild breeze. I sucked in the fragrant air and it inflated my lungs. It was very fresh. The dew was resting in the flower petals. I walked towards the rose garden, it was very familiar to the flower farm,The beauty around me made my heart fe

Through the crowded hallway, Micah ran as if his life depended on it. Renya’s voice rang in his head.‘She is my sister, Her name is Eryna—I didn’t want to marry you so She took my place and married you—‘“Please let me see you! Please wait for me,” Micah chanted to himself. “I have so much to tell you, I have so much to ask of you! You can’t just go like that,” he clenched his teeth in pain. He opened the door to the room where Eryna was staying but it was empty and the nurse was fixing the sheet.“Excuse me! Where is the patient that was staying in the room?” He asked hurriedly.“She was taken away for the surgery just a minute ago,” she replied.
It was 10 in the morning, Renya walked to and fro before Micah’s mansion waiting for him to drive out as she didn’t have enough guts to get inside, but after a long wait she saw no one come out, and that made her anxious. She slowly approached the gate and was quickly greeted by a guard at the gate.“Miss!” He spoke with surprise.“Hi!—“ she spoke awkwardly. “Is Your Master home?” She asked.“Master? He is gone to work,” he replied.“Gone? Already?” Renya asked.“Miss, Master usually goes to work early, you know that,” he replied with a confused expression on his face.“Oh! Yes—ho
Eryna sneaked back into the hospital and tip-toed back to the room trying to be as invisible as she could. She held her face with both of her hands until she reached her room.“Gosh! I am so glad none of them decided to visit me today, “ Eryna wiped the sweat on her forehead in relief and opened up the door. And walked in like a sneaky cat, she slowly closed it and turned around.“Gasp!!—“ Eryna saw something frightening and her eyes widened in shock. Her breath stopped and she slowly gulped down her fright and opened up her lips.“What are you doing, sitting there like a sneaky cat!?” She spoke in an almost screaming manner.“Sneaky? Me? Look who's talking.” Renya got up off the chair and walked over to her. “W
Eryna was jumping around in her bed trying to find the best position to fall asleep but wasn’t able to do that, she felt uncomfortable at heart. The words of Ayden kept on running around in her mind. She picked up her phone and dialed Ayden.“Hello,” she spoke.“You called me this late! Is everything okay?” He asked.“Sigh! Where is Micah?” She asked.“Hah! Why do you ask? I thought you said you hated him,” Ayden purposefully exaggerated.“When did I say that?” Eryna asked in a defensive tone,“Well, you didn’t technically say it but I saw it on your face,” Ayden smirked as he replied,
Even in her sleep, Eryna’s eyebrows were not resting, they had formed into a frown. She had gotten weaker, her once long and wavy hair had been once more removed, and instead, she was covering her head with a rainbow-colored woolen cap.She felt cold even in the warm room and under the blanket. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling with an empty eye.She missed the warmth of Micah’s embrace, and how the pain had vanished instantly. Eryna shrugged her head and tried to let go of that feeling but it kept on sticking in her head. The thoughts of Micah had taken over her head after Grayson told her that they were applying for a divorce. Eryna never had a feeling that She and Micah were going to part. For some reason, her brain never showed a possibility but now that she had finally realized that marriage was only a plaything, she felt a s
