“Fuu—“
Eryna gave out a deep ahhh , and twisted the door knob, while holding up the gown With her other hand.
She stepped inside the room which had faint smell of paper and ink in it, the walls of one side of the spacious room was replaced with bookshelves. The other walls were painted with light chocolate brown colour. Just across the window a huge king size bed lied.
Eryna stood motionlessly in the centre of the room, she was not sure if what to do, until something cold dropped on her naked shoulder. It was water.
She jumped in fright and turned around and bumped into someone.
She lifted her head and felt a sharp pain,
“Ouc— gasp!!”
“Aah,” A painful voice escaped Micah’s lips.
Eryna had hit her head with Micah’s chin, because of which Michel’s teeth bit into his own tongue,
Her heart sprang out of her chest at the sight of his bare chest wrapped loosely with a bathing robe, his hair were wet and water dripped off it occasionally.
“What are you staring at?” Micah growled with dissatisfaction.
“That—“
Eryna turned her head in the other direction in lightning speed and tried to answer but got interrupted by Micah.
“Oh! How could I forget! You married me today so you being here make sense,”
He spoke sarcastically.
“The butler, he sent me here,”
She stared at the bookshelves in embarrassment.
Micah knitted his eyebrows at the sight of her odd behaviour.
“Why are you looking there when I am right behind you!”
“That—you, you are not wearing a shirt,” Eryna mustered up the courage to point out his ignorance.
Micah glanced down at his bare chest and then shifted his gaze towards the girl in the white wedding gown.
“Ha, Stop acting. I know what kind of a girl you are, and why you trapped me into marrying you.” He gave out a cold laugh.
Eryna wrapped her head around his words and tried to understand the situation she had gotten herself in.
“But let me tell you one thing, I would never take a woman like you as my life partner, who just for money decided to sell—“
In the middle of his angry speech Eryna’s phone rang which shifted all of her attention to the phone screen.
There was a message from an unknown number.
Eryna tapped the screen of the mobile and stared at the words written in the message.
“What are you doing?” Micah got annoyed by her attitude.
“I—I wait let me read it first,”
She looked at the screen with knitted eyebrows.
“Are you even listening to me?” Micah lashed out at her.
Eryna turned around and stared at his tomato red face with a serious expression.
“If you want to hear the truth then—no I am not listening to you. I am not interested in knowing how much you despise me, And if you are so annoyed by seeing me in this room then okay! I will just leave you alone.”
“What?” Micah was caught off guard.
“Have a nice time holding onto that grudge of yours,”
Eryna’s face showed signs of worry, as she lifted her gown and walked out in a troubled way.
‘Slam,’
She closed the door with too much force.
She dialled the number that had texted her and waited for the person to pick up.
“Hello? Is it Matilda?” Eryna worriedly spoke.
“Yes, It’s me,” the nurse who spoke to Grayson at the hospital replied in a soft voice.
“How is my sister? Is she okay?” Eryna’s voice trembled in worry.
“Yes, the operation went well, her stomach has been washed and hopefully she will be awake soon,” the nurse replied.
“Can I come? I mean can I visit her now?”
“Yes you can, if it’s convenient for you,”
“Cough…”
Someone cleared his throat.
Eryna turned around to see who it was and surprisingly the butler stood right behind her with a silly expression.
“I will be there soon,”
Eryna cut the call and turned around to the butler.
“Miss I-I am sorry. I should have-“
“If you are sorry then help me out a bit,
Without hearing his sorry words Eryna replied to him in a hurry.
“Pardon?” The butler was left speechless.
“Get me a car, and some clothes.”
“But-“
“Please, just help me out this once,”
Eryna sincerely asked him, he too saw her sorry state and gave a light nod.
…………………………..
Inside the white VIP hospital room Renya lied still, the door clicked open and Eryna walked in.
Renya’s eyelids trembled at the sound and she slowly lifted them,
Her eyes showed a blurred out image of someone standing by her side. Before she could ask about the identity of the person, she heard her voice.
“Was it fun?” A tired voice spoke.
“Did you feel thrilled after pulling out such an incredible stunt?”
“Eryna?'' Renya looked weak in the hospital bed, she stared at Eryna’s face with guilty eyes.
“Explain! What was the meaning behind your actions? Did you think that misery would end with that small bottle of poison that you ingested?”
Eryna’s furious gaze glared at Renya, she was waiting for answers.
“Will it not?”
Renya replied in a dejected tone.
“I don’t know about you, but it would have added piles of regret to my already miserable life!! Did I even cross your mind when you decided to kill yourself?”
Eryna’s scared voice turned into an angry roar when her mind flashed the memory of Renya’s lifeless body in Grayson’s hands.
Renya knew how angry and broken Eryna was, she had lost everyone in such a short time period. Her expression showed how desperately she had tried to hold onto Renya,
“You could have told me, you could have said that father was pushing you,”
“HAVE WE GROWN APART SO MUCH THAT YOU DIDN’T BOTHER TO SHARE YOUR SADNESS WITH ME? DID I NOT PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK?”
Tears rolled down Eryna’s eyes as she shouted at Renya, it was a heart wrenching moment for Eryna, because the pain of losing someone was witnessed by her so many times, that she knew that the news of Renya’s death would be the end of her too.
“I am sorry! I thought you didn’t love me anymore, I thought you would leave me like mother. I thought you would treat me the same—just like father,”
“You silly! You and Simba are the only ones left for me, I would never abandon you,”
She lightly scolded Renya.
“What will happen now? What will father say about my actions? Will he cancel the wedding?” Renya weakly spoke.
“He won’t say anything, and nothing will happen to you, now that I am here I will protect you,”
Eryna caressed her head and spoke in a protective way.
“What do you mean by that? Did father cancel the wedding?” Renya’s face brightened up.
“No, he didn’t cancel the wedding,”
Eryna leisurely replied.
“Then?” Renya trembled.
“Renya Scott got married to Micah Luis today, so you have nothing to worry about anymore.”
“Ha, stop joking around, how can I marry him when I am still in the hospit—“
Renya’s eyes opened in horror.
Eryna stood with an unchanging expression.
“You—you did not! Tell me you didn’t do it!”
“Rest early, I have to go back before someone gets suspicious, Simba will come visit you with his nanny. Be sure to go home with them,”
“Eryna! Stop!”
Eryna stepped away from the bed.
“Stop right there! Tell me what happened!”
Her sour voice echoed in the room as Eryna left.
The clock was already past twelve when the butler glanced at it, he twisted his fingers nervously as he paced around the hallway, his eyes glued to the main door. Eryna hadn’t returned yet.“Uncle Shaun?”
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?’
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.
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
