Chapter 071: I miss you

"I still don't understand why Mirabel would do such." Dante whispered again, allowing his croaky voice to trail off. His already rumpled face was screwed in further confusion. Lyra opened her mouth to say something, but before she could get the words out, Dante had already made a quick turn in the direction of the armchair, where his phone was lying on the cushion.The moment he grabbed it, Lyra stepped forward simultaneously, and a little bit forcefully, she reached out and snatched the phone from him."W...what are you doing?" Dante stuttered in a lowered tone."What does it look like I am doing?" Lyra raised her voice a little in contrast. Dante immediately sensed the tremble in her voice and the hint of raw emotion it bore. He became quiet."What did you do to your sister because of me?"She queried.Dante glanced at her and looked away.Then he turned to glance at her again and sucked his teeth before answering with a slight flap of his arm against his side."Look, she was the

Chapter 072: I missed you too

"I missed you too," Lyra confessed back, surprising herself by how true the words felt to her. Dante gasped for a second, the way he widened his eyes after her confession showed that her response had stunned him as well.The expression on his face was a mix of happiness and disbelief. They gazed at themselves for a second time. The interval had not lasted for too long before they hastily grabbed themselves, lips and bodies pressed together even more tightly.Dante's hands slipped under Lyra's blouse, feeling the contours of her shapely body and grabbing the fleshy mounds of her breasts.Lyra let out a soft moan, sliding her fingers through his hair and tugging gently.She met his gaze, her eyes filled with urgent desire.In the next instant, Dante swept Lyra off her feet carrying her into his arms and bearing her up as he led the way to his bedroom.On getting there, Dante dropped her on the bed hurriedly. He took off his shirt at once to reveal his muscular, slightly hairy ches

Chapter 073: Sweet revenge

Lyra took in a deep breath allowing a space of silence after Dante asked the question.Her mood suddenly became dull. Dante was quiet as well. It was his way of respecting the sensitive nature of the moment."The man is not my biological father." Lyra said after some time, her eyes focused on space.Dante continued watching, keeping his silence and determined not to interrupt."After I parked out of your place and at the point in time when I almost took my own life..."Her voice trailed off. She paused because a little teary crack had appeared in her voice as she reminisced on the past event. Dante looked away guiltily, knowing the part he played in that particular scene. A little uneasy silence ensued until Lyra was able to compose herself, breaking the silence once again."It was this man, who saved me. It was he who took me into his home and gave me my life back. Luckily for me, his wife was also as kind as he was. And it was after meeting them that everything changed for good

Chapter 074: The Meeting

A few days later, Lyra was sitting next to her office desk, immersed in her work and sketching up something as usual, when her phone buzzed vibrantly on her desk. She glanced at the screen and saw James's name flashing on it. With a mix of surprise and bubbling excitement, she grabbed the phone to answer."Dad!""Eleanor, sweetheart, we've just arrived in your city a few minutes ago. We are at the airport now. Emily is with me too."Her heart leaped. "I'm screaming right now. Finally! This is so great!" Lyra exclaimed getting up at once."You saw the address I texted to you earlier right? I'll be heading home right away. I can't wait to see you both." She babbled further."Oh dear, we can't wait too." Janes cheered back happily."But one more thing though." He added."What?""We might join you a few minutes late. There's someone we need to see quickly before coming over.""Oh that's fine...that's fine," Lyra repeated happily packing up her things at the same thing as she started t

Chapter 075: The Coincidence

"Dad?" Lyra whispered, nonplussed by Dante's reaction. Slowly she turned back to face James face who was now wearing a sympathetic look. Emily was also nodding steadily in the same manner beside him making pleading gestures to Dante who now had a reddened glare on his own face."How?" She mumbled."I said what are you both doing here!" Dante suddenly raised his voice again, startling every one of them.“Don't tell me you followed back from there.” he continued.Then he paused to glance at Lyra before looking at his father again."Wait, you are the one who saved Lyra?"James took a deep sigh, shifted forward to the edge of his chair, and jammed his hands together before he began to speak."Son....."(FLASHBACK TO FEW HOURS AGO)After the call with Lyra, James and Emily had boarded a cab to the old Cooper's mansion.As soon as they drove passed the huge gate and spaced out walls of the estate they could immediately see his mother; grandmother Alessandra, Dante, and Mirabel waiting for

Chapter 076: The truth

"I am talking about this dirty stinking opportunist you guys picked from the gutters or wherever you found her. She might think herself a queen now but that doesn't change the fact that she is and will always be the wretched low life, your foolish son Dante decided to help with our money." Mirabel continued even more harshly, pointing at Lyra with disdain."What?" James and Emily exchanged glances looking horrified by Mirabel's words.Dante immediately gestured at Lyra in a way that said she should remain calm before turning angrily to face Mirabel."Now shut that hole of yours Mirabel, Lyra is my fiancée and you will show respect when you address her." He declared."Fian...what?" Mirabel burst out laughing derisively."You're just one big stubborn buffalo, Dante. You don't learn from your mistakes...I mean didn't you learn anything from the last time? What if you discover she has twenty kids this time? Trust me this whore certainly has more skeletons in her cupboard.""I said ke

Chapter 077: Together Again

James, Emily alongside Dante, and Lyra returned to the old Cooper's mansion later that evening. Grandma Alessandra was sitting on her favorite armchair in the living room, poring over a newspaper when they arrived.The collective sounds of their footsteps as they made their way into the large room made the older lady stop halfway, looking up steadily to find them approaching. Grandma looked up steadily her frail eyes scanning each of their faces. "You are back?" she asked, setting her newspaper aside, readjusting on the seat, and keeping her focus on Dante. She had been waiting for them."Are you still mad my boy? And James what is it you were saying over the phone?" She queried further now looking at her son.James took a deep breath, stepping forward with his arms crossed as he glanced at both Dante and Lyra who were already beaming with smiles. "Mother we're good now, we came back here because there's something important the kids want to let you know."He said signalling

Chapter 078: The Blackmail

Back at the Thompson's headquarters, Felix was in his office, throwing things about in a fit of rage and frustration. Papers flew, and a glass shattered against the wall. He was beyond pissed. Just then his phone started to tremble on the executive desk to a call. He suspended his display, thinking it was Lyra but it was Aria calling when he checked. He ground his teeth and grabbed the phone swiftly, picking it up with a forceful tap."Felix I saw the news," Aria said."Yeah right? Felix, I saw the news." He mimicked angrily."Isn't that all you do? Seeing the news? After leading me straight into a deep dark hole with your half-baked plan. You know what? I ain't dead yet if that's what you came to find out....""Felix?""Don't you dare call me!" He bawled."I should have known. I should have been smart enough to notice. I mean why did I even bother contacting you in the first place? You never do things properly... never. That was the same reason I picked Lyra over you in the past. Ju

Chapter 079: Mirabel Plot

The following day was a Saturday, Dante was with Lyra in his apartment. He was standing by the window of his large sitting room, the morning lights filtering through the gauzy curtains. He was watching Lyra with a warm smile and his arms were casually folded. He felt too fortunate gazing straight at the same woman he has been having sleepless nights about for the past few years now. It was too good to be true and yet it was true. Thinking about how happy he was now compared to those times he could not help but feel utterly grateful and indebted to her. He was determined to make every little minute count for something."How about we take a little trip, just the two of us?" He suggested now placing his hands on his waist.Lyra held his gaze from her slanted position on the couch her legs crossed and a smile was playing on her lips. "Where to?"“City Skape Villa,” He quipped with his dreamy eyes beaming."It's a huge vacation home for lovers in the city. It's perfect for such outings

Chapter 080: The Blackmail

Felix took a quick sip from his glass of soda, sitting at one of the dimmest corners of the old club.He was sitting at the same spot where he and Aria had linked up a few weeks ago.He looked up now and again, his patience wearing out as he scanned the entrance for Aria."What is she still waiting for? It's over an hour already."He had mumbled, glancing at the watch in his hand quickly, before taking another sip.It took about ten more minutes before Aria finally appeared at the doorpost. And for the first few seconds of her arrival, she stood near the doorway, looking as visibly annoyed as ever.She did not waste too much time before she spotted Felix. After all, she already knew where to look, and when their eyes met, she clenched her fist and ground her teeth, shaking her head faintly before she began to match his direction. All through this time, Felix wore a sly smile."What did you mean by what you said on the phone?" Aria snapped as soon as she was within hearing distance.H
