Eryna sneakily tiptoed around the mansion, It was still early in the morning but she was hungry and was unable to find the kitchen in the huge mansion. Her grumbling stomach gave out another warning as she walked past the lounge,
“Miss?’
“Gasp” Eryna jumped in horror as she felt like her heart had skipped out of her chest, She looked around and saw the butler standing behind her with an excited expression.
“You almost gave me a heart attack,” Eryna spoke as she took a deep breath.
“Oh, my apologies, But why are you up so early, and why are you walking like that?” He asked in an interesting voice, his eyes had a spark when he spoke to her,
“Sigh, I am hungry, and I am looking for the kitchen to find something to eat,”
After listening to her the butler started at her with a weird gaze.
“What happened? Don’t you have a kitchen in the house?”
“No, there is a kitchen in the mansion but e are not allowed to use it,” He replied while looking at the floor.
“Why? Is it for decoration purpose then?”
“No, Master doesn’t like the smell of food in the house, He gets disturbed by it,”
Eryna looked at the butler with an expression that said.
‘That darn master of yours, Is there a thing in the world he likes?’
“So where does he get his breakfast from?”
Eryna asked with a hungry look, her eyes sparkled when she looked at the butler.
“That- the master doesn’t eat breakfast,” He looked down in shame,
‘Crash- ah- was that my heart? Did it break?... How am I supposed to live without food? That’s the only happy thing left in my life.’
Eryna played a dramatic role in heartbreak in her mind but suddenly collected her mood and spoke to the butler with a determined gaze.
“Where is the kitchen?”
“Miss what are you thinking?” The butler didn’t look very good after hearing her determined tone.
“Lead me to the kitchen, if I don’t eat something now I am surely going to die, And if I eat I will die too, with your master’s hands. I guess dying with a full stomach would be much better,”
“But-but”
“No buts, I take the responsibility, for whatever happens,”
Eryna turned around and started to walk away.
“Miss!” the butler called her out.
“Nope, you can’t stop me now!” Eryna waved her hand in the opposite direction and continued to walk.
“Miss it’s this way, the kitchen.” the butler corrected her.
Eryna stopped at once and turned around, her cheeks were slightly tinted red.
“Oh, I thought you were stopping me,” She fidgeted her fingers and followed the butler,
The butler lead, Eryna to the kitchen, She looked around the beautifully marbled counters and the wooden cabinets. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of such a piece of art, she wandered around it and happily opened up every cabinet and drawer.
Her happiness ended when her stomach gave out another growl.
“Hehe, I better cook something,” Eryna grinned at the butler.
She opened up the cabinets once more and looked around the ingredients, and surprisingly there was everything in the kitchen, the refrigerator was loaded with food and so were the cabinets.
‘Sigh, Rich people, You can never understand them,’
Eryna sighed inwardly and thought to herself.
It didn’t take her long to make her breakfast which was coffee and Pancakes with maple syrup and a bunch of strawberries, Eryna always made two servings, one for herself and the other for Simba and today was no different.
“Here! You can eat this one,” She gave the other serving to the butler.
“Me? How can I…”
“Sigh, Just accompany me while eating, I don’t like eating alone,”
It had been less than a second since Eryna said that when she felt the atmosphere around her froze up.
“How dare you step into the kitchen?”
Micah stood in the door staring at Eryna with a bloodthirsty gaze.
‘I thought I would have a peaceful breakfast but it seems like mother nature doesn’t want that,’
“How could you let her in?”
Micha directed his anger toward the butler as well who lowered his gaze.
“I was hungry so I cooked up something for me, please don’t scold him,”
“I don’t care if you were hungry or not, Get out of here,”
‘SIGH, This…’
“Fine, Uncle Shaun could you get me my cell phone please, I have a call to make,”
Micah’s gaze froze on Eryna when she uttered those words, he was confused for what she was about to do.
The butler walked out in a hurry and came back with her cell phone,
“Where is it? “ She swiped through her contacts.
‘What?” The butler asked in a mumble.
“I can’t find Grandpa’s phone number, He asked me to tell him whenever I need something. I am going to ask him to build me another kitchen as his grandson doesn’t want me to use his.”
‘Yes, I know how much you are scared of your grandpa, and I will use him against you for as long as we are together,’
Eryna peeked at Micah’s flushed face when she spoke those words, he walked in closer and took the phone out of Eryna’s hand before she could do anything.
“That, you don’t have to disturb him for these small things, he is a busy man,” Micah turned her cellphone off and placed it in his pocket.
“Sigh, then how am I suppose to make food for myself?” Eryna spoke in a dejected voice.
“Go on, use it however you please,” His teeth were tightly clenched and his face was serious like an iceblock, He turned around to walk away but stopped at the sight of food. He readily picked the plate of pancakes and walked out without permission.
“This, put that back, I made it with so much effort how could you just take it from me?” Eryna followed him with an angry expression,
Micah stopped midway and eryna who was walking right behind him bumped into his back.
“Ouch…” She rubbed her nose and stepped back.
“Why did you stop all of a sudden?”
She spoke angrily,
Micha didn’t answer her and walked back to the kitchen, he leisurely picked up the coffee cup and walked out again as if it was the most normal thing he could have done.
“You thief!” Eryna shouted, and this time Micah turned around with a stoic face,
“Theif? This is my house, My kitchen, my food, How can I be a thief?”
“This-This shameless person!” Eryna stomped her feet in anger while Micah walked away calmly.
The atmosphere of the dining room was extremely cold, Eryna and Micah sat on the opposite side of the table with food before them,The butler had given up on his serving to calm the battle between the two, Eryna dug into the pancake mercilessly and bit into it harshly as she stared at Micah, who was reading his files
“Ah…”Eryna opened her eyes because of stinging pain in her arm, she tried to sit up but just as she pressed her hand on the bed to get up, a harsh surging current of pain moved through her arm. She fell back onto the pillow.
It had been almost twenty minutes since they started their journey but it felt like an eternity because of the uncomfortable travel partner. Eryna who was already sick of the ride opened the window and let in the cold wind,“Close the window, your hair is hitting my face,” An annoying voice
Eryna had taken her seat beside the table where Micah sat. The waiters slowly brought in the food, The rich aroma of the steak on the table brought water to Eryna’s mouth as she looked at it with a romantic gaze.“Are you satisfied with the dishes,” A familiar voice spoke from Eryna&rs
Because of the excitement of meeting Simba, Eryna woke up early. She dressed up warmly as it was cold outside though the sky was clear.She wore a red woolen turtle neck dress that reached her thighs and a pair of long boots that were knee-length.She let down her bouncy black hair and wrapped a scarf around her neck. Her reflection in the mirror looked innocent as her clear eyes reflected the bright light coming in from the window.She walked sneakily out of the room and into the elevator. The guy on the duty blushed at the sight of her. But then fixed his posture and asked.“Which floor madam?”“The first floor please.” She spoke lig
Micah was in his room sorting out papers when a servant entered his room, With breakfast.He glanced at her for a second and then spoke.“Put it on the table,” He directed him towards the coffee table beside the window.The servant placed the try on the table and bowed slightly before leaving.“Wait!” Micah called out.“Yes, Master?” The servant jumped in fright as he suddenly called out upon her.“That-Has Renya already eaten her breakfast?” He spoke in a mumble.
“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
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
