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 spoke from behind, Eryna was about to turn around but that exact moment her eyes met some familiar sceneries along the way, Her eyes brightened up as she realized something. She turned around and looked at Micah with twinkling eyes and asked him with an excited tone,
“Where are we going?”
Micah was caught off guard as she suddenly closened up to him and asked him in a bright mood, Micah’s lip twitched as he blinked a few times before turning around to stare out of the window. Eryna waited for his reply but he didn’t bother telling her and kept his gaze on the window.
‘This prick...can’t you just answer such a simple question without acting arrogant?’
Eryna thought and then turned around to look at the driver,
She stuck her head out from between the two car seats and looked at the driver with a happy face.
“Sir, where are we headed too?”
“That- We are headed to the northern coastline, The resort is located there,” The drive replied.
With just these words Eryna’s face brightened up even more and she sat back in her seat, the window was still open but she closed it happily.
‘HAHA!! I thought this was something dreadful but turns out it was a blessing in disguise, They are taking me back home and that in their own car.’
Eryna stuck her head to the window beside her as her face was painted with a smile, she stared at the familiar road and waited for the journey to end soon.
The reached the resort sooner than expected, the car slowed down before a magnificent tall building, stopped before the main door. Eryna opened the door with her left hand as she was barely able to use her right hand.
She got off the car and stretched her sleepy legs, It was a peaceful place as the air was fresh. It had been just two days that Eryna had left this place but she could feel how much she had missed the air and the peaceful surrounding.
“Miss you seem to like this place,” The driver stood beside her and asked her.
Eryna who was caught off guard looked at him and replied with a smile.
“Very much, I wish I could stay here forever,” She replied joyously.
“You seem to wish for a lot of things,” Micah spoke grumpily and walked past her leisurely,
“Guess someone had been sitting on a hot stove,,” Eryna mumbled.
Micah stopped for a moment but didn’t turn to say anything before walking into the building.
Eryna followed without any other comments and they were warmly welcomed by the resort staff. And a lady in a black formal suit walked up to them and bowed a little before speaking.
“Let me walk you to your room.” She smiled warmly, but for some reason, Eryna felt something was off.
………………………...
‘What is this situation? I didn’t sign up for this.’
Eryna stood in the midst of a room with Micah standing right in front of her, The room was decorated with red and white roses and the white comfy bed had a huge heart made out of rose petals.
There were candles all over the room accompanied by the faint and soothing smell of roses and lavender.
Micah glared at Eryna with a suspicious gaze.“What are you looking at? Do you think I made them do all this?”
‘Is he nuts? Does he think I am that desperate?’
At Eryna’s confident claim Micah looked at the lady in black who had a smirk on her face.
“Call the manager, “ With an almost murderous voice Micah growled at the smirking lady.
“But…” she tried to speak but Micah spoke again.
“If you don’t wish to lose your job, THEN CALL THE MANAGER!.” He growled
The lady ran out of the room leaving Eryna alone with Micah. He looked around the room and slowly his gaze wandered back towards Eryna. Micah’s eyes were curious but Eryna felt like he was mocking her.
“Oh, Please. Just like you said I was only here for your money. I don’t have interest in men like you,”
He glared back at her one last time before walking out of the room.
“HA, He thought I would let him belittle me every time we see each other.” Eryna stared at the closed door with a smug face.
“Phew! I am tired…” Eryna threw her body over the soft comfy bed.
The soothing environment made Eryna sleepy, but just as she was about to close her eyes she heard a knock on the door. She reluctantly got up of her bed and dragged her tired body towards the door.
“Who is it?”
She opened the door to see a maid standing before her door.
“Miss, the food is ready you are requested to come to the dining room.”
She spoke with the utmost respect.
“Okay, let’s go,” Eryna was hungry so she walked behind her through the long hallway. And finally, she stood before a magnificent wooden door and pushed it open.
‘You may enter,” She looked at Eryna and spoke.
Eryna stepped into the hall like a room with multiple tables, and in the far most corner, she saw a figure emitted a dark aura.
“Miss. This way,” The maid pointed but Eryna replied with a smile.
“Thanks, I will go on my own,” And she walked towards the table with a smile. For some reason, Eryna had noticed that whenever she smiled at him his expression would become very uncomfortable and she had fun teasing him like that so she kept a bright smile on her face.
She was just a few steps away from the table when her heel slipped on the marble floor, which caused her to lose her balance. Her heart leaped out of her chest and she tightly closed her eyes involuntarily.
‘Grab…
Before she could hit the floor someone grabbed her in the mid-air and supported her body against his firm chest.
‘Did he just save me from falling?’ Eryna was speechless she opened her eyes to confirm that what she thought was true and then, her eyes were welcomed by a pair of attractive brown eyes. His facial features were distinct, his lips slightly twitched and he spoke.
“Are you alright Miss?” the handsome guy asked in an attractive voice.
‘Wow...Where did he come from? That was fast’
Eryna lifted her body and took a step away from the guy and smiled.
“Thank you so much for helping me out, or I would have definitely broken my back.” Eryna giggled.
“Aren’t you sitting?” She heard Micah’s overbearing voice.
She looked at him with an angry expression.
“Can’t you see I am thanking my lifesaver?” Eryna spoke sarcastically.
“You think you would have died by slipping on the floor?” He replied in an equally sarcastic tone.
Eryna glared at him.
“Whatever,” she said and turned around, “Thanks again,” She spoke gracefully.
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
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
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
