“Stop!...”
Eryna held the doorknob and she was about to push it open when Micah stopped her.
“Hmm?” Eryna stared at him with a questioning gaze.
“Where were you?”
“Why? Did you miss me while I was away?” Eryna asked with a smudge.
“As if! I am here to tell you that Grandpa called, He will be here in no time. We are going to have dinner with him...Get ready.”
Micah spoke with a stoic face.
“Hmm...I thought you would say that you missed me while I was away! Sigh…okay I will get ready f
The night went by peacefully which seemed odd.Knock...Knock...Knock,Someone was at the door,But neither of them were fully awake. Eryna heard the knock on the door, and she wanted to get up, but as she tried to pull her body up, she felt a force holding onto her waist and an unusual firm surface below her cheek which definitely was not a pillow. Eryna wriggled and tried to set herself free, still in her sleep when suddenly it struck her.She felt like her heart had skipped out of her chest as she pulled her body out of the bounds around her waist and distanced herself from the person who was holding on to her. Micah got disturbed by the sudden motion and opened his eyes. Eryna was the first thing that welcomed his eyes which cau
The truck took a turn and drove through a rough road, it was bouncy and Eryna grabbed onto the sides of the trunk as she gazed around the beautiful fruit orchards, she got excited and forgot about her hurt feet and an injured hand.The number of injuries she had in a few days was surprising.The bumpy road came to an end when the truck stopped before the gate of a country house. It looked big yet old but at a glance, one could tell how well it was kept.The grandpa walked out of the truck and stood by the trunk with a smiling face. He looked happy when he saw Eryna staring back at him with a happy face.“Hop out, I will take you to meet my wife, she will be very happy to see you,” he gestured with his hand as he called Eryna out.
Just like the lovely grandpa had promised he brought Eryna back to the mansion the first thing in the morning, The truck stopped before the mansion’s gate and Eryna got off the front seat. She lightly waved her hand back at Grandpa...His name was Liam Oliver.“Thank you for helping me out! I don’t know how I will repay you,” Eryna was seriously touched by their hospitality and spoke with her heartfelt emotions.“You can repay me with one thing?” He replied with a blissful smile.“What’s that?” Eryna wanted to return them their kindness so she asked as she placed her arms over the open window of the car.“Visit us often...You can pay it off like that..
The airport was packed, the passengers were dragging their luggage in every direction.In the midst of all this crowd, There were about ten men wearing black suits, they had sharp gazes scanning the crowds, they were here to accompany someone but they looked more like they were here to catch a prisoner on the run.“Any sign of him?” One of them mumbled into the earpiece.“The top floor is clear, no sign of him here…” The other replied.“Nothing suspicious at the exit.” Another one reported.“Keep your eyes open, his plane has landed 15 minutes ago, He must be in the crowd, We cannot lose him…&rdq
It was another peaceful morning at the mansion as Micah hadn’t returned from work.Eryna’s mood was in full swing, Her hand had stopped hurting and her feet were hurting less.She walked out of her room in her pajamas scratching her back, Her hair all tangled up and her stomach was growling, she had to find a cure for it.It was the duty of the maids to make the breakfast for her but she woke up earlier than expected so she had to find something to eat, On the topmost shelf of a cabinet, Eryna saw a jar filled with chocolate chip cookies which caused her emotion to bubble up.She knew that it was impossible for her to reach the shelf so he looked around and luckily saw a small table lying in the corn
“Norah, Love!... Why are you still sad?”Helena walked towards her daughter who was crying out rivers.“Stop crying! It’s not like that brat has any role in this wedding… She is just a pawn. Once we get the business collaboration she would be useless, Then you can get married to Micah, Okay!” Helena stroked her daughter’s head who was crying bitterly into the pillow.“Mom! You knew I loved him and you still made Renya marry him...It could have been me...I could have become Mrs. Luis, I could have married him,” She hicked as she cried out loud.“No dear! You don’t understand...Come on get up so Mum can tell you why she made that useless girl marry int
It was already dark when Micah’s car reached the front gate of the mansion. He was very curious about how Renya would react to this file. And after knowing the worth of this land.Will she give it to her father without thinking or will she be smitten by the money she could make out of the land?The car was now in front of the main door, Micah got off and walked in, Unlike the usual, Today the mansion gave out a feel of a home rather than the showroom for breathtakingly beautiful walls and luxurious furniture, He heard chuckles, and low voices, one was a sweet and warm voice that could cause one’s heart to tremble, while the other was a happy yet very familiar voice.Micah gasped when he realized who’s the voice was. He fastened his pace and walked to the dini
Eryna sat on her bed and lifted her hurting leg, she lightly massaged her foot and glanced at the file beside her with a frown.“Why did he give me this if it’s that precious?” Eryna was confused, She picked her phone and called Renya to ask her about this.Renya picked up the phone on the first ring and she spoke with a worried voice.“Are you alright? I was about to call you, I was having a bad feeling…”“Yes, yes I am alright...you can breathe now!” Eryna cut her in the middle her sentence and calmed her down.“Fu...I had a bad feeling. I thought something had happened.” Renya spoke in a worrie
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
