Chapter 16Lyra ignored the shocks on their face as she made her way to her room.Ella turned to Bruce angrily and with a scoff. " What the hell!? Did you just watch her say all that to me? And you're here saying nothing!? " She asked angrily." You heard her, there's no man " Bryce replied simply, Ella scoffed unbelievably." I really can't believe you! You're supporting her? And not me!? I mean, you believed her lies!? It's definitely a guy and not someone special like she claimed! She's a liar! " Ella yelled.Bruce let out a disturbing sigh as he stood and grabbing Ella by her wrist, he began to pull her away up to the stairs while she tries to break free in annoyance.Successfully pulling her into his room, he closed the door behind and releasing her, Ella scoffed angrily." Really!? I can't believe you right now! How could you.. " Ella swallowed the rest of her words when Bruce began to unbutton his shirt.She swallowed hard into nothing as he was finally shirtless before her."
Chapter 17Alex engulfed her into his arms not minding her tears which wet his clothes. " Should I take you to your room? " He whispered to her and she nodded.Not like she had a choice anyways, she felt embarrassed at that moment.He just seen her cry, she suddenly regretted thinking she was really going to have the upper hand over Bruce and Ella.She should have stick to always keeping quiet as always. This was a reminder to her to know her place.Alex lifted her up in his arms, not minding if Bruce would oppose her, but he didn't tho.Alex walked over to the stairs with Lyra in his arms. He headed to her room." Are you fine now? " Bruce asked Ella who now had a wide smile on her lips." Of course! I love you so much for putting that bit*ch in her place! " She said excitedly.Bruce smiled and then pecked her nose. " She would leave soon, I promise. I would get rid of her really soon " He promised in a whisper as he snuggled his nose on hers." I know, and I can't wait " Ella mutter
Chapter 18* Later In The Evening *" Oh God " Lyra let out a tired sigh as she landed on the bed." I'm tired " She said to Tia who also nodded as she sat on the bed gently." Seems Sire Bruce and his friend aren't around " Tia said and Lyra nodded." I guess, I didn't see them around earlier " She replied." You perhaps know where they are? " Lyra asked but she shook her head." No, but I could ask Henri " She muttered and Lyra raised a brow." He's going to tell you? " She asked like she was suprised. Tia nodded and a smirk played on Lyra's lips." Wow, at least we could always ask him some few things about Bruce's movement " She said and Tia nodded." I will text him now " She said but Lyra shook her head. " No, call him. I wanna see how you two communicate " Lyra said with a silly smile and Tia blushed a little." No, I'm not doing that. I'm just going to text him instead " She said as she worked on her phone but suddenly, Lyra snatched her phone.She dialed the number immediatel
Chapter 19She dialed his number again and as thought, he wouldn't pick. She let out a sigh before dropping her phone.There's this part in her still thinking Alex is Bryan. It might look like she's crazy, but something's definitely not right somewhere and she would find out.But does this mean she doesn't trust Bryan? No, she trusts him so much but he had always told her he can't reveal himself to her now, not until she's his completely, not until she's ready to let go of Bruce.Not until she divorces Bruce, then he can show himself to her and that is making her think he's definitely one of Bruce's friend.He wants her to divorce Bruce and then the can be together without having to face any problems from Bruce.That's what she thinks and she knows she's right, something tells her she's right." Should I stylishly ask Alex if he knows whom Bryan is and see if he would react weirdly or try to ask if he knows anyone with the name *Lyra*? "" Yeah, I should do that " She walked out of h
Chapter 20" What's it Lyra? What's wrong? " Bryan asked slowly." I wanted him to be you. I wanted.. " " Why? Why Lyra? Why should I be him? " Bryan asked confusedly." Cause I want to see you so badly, even if it's once. I want to see your face, I want to touch you so bad, wrap my arms around your body. I badly want to see you " She cried.Bryan sighed slowly as he wondered what he could say to calm her down." Bryan... say something " Lyra muttered." Lyra.. I... "" You can't reveal yourself? I understand " Lyra cut him off." Lyra, I really wish you could understand me... Just be patient okay? I promise.. soon " Bryan muttered.Lyra heaved a heavy sigh before agreeing. " Alright.. Alright, I'll wait.. but promise you will reveal yourself soon " " I promise " Bryan replied immediately." I love you " Lyra muttered." I love you more " Bryan replied and Lyra heard some rustling of papers indicating that he was working on something." I should leave you to concentrate on your work
Chapter 21" God, I hate meeting friend's of his.. something always happens " She muttered as she laid on the bed. She sighed before going back to sleep. ** Next Day **" So, you're leaving for a week? " Tia said sadly and Lyra nodded." Come on... You don't have to be sad, you're going to have Henri right here with you? " Lyra tried to cheer her up but she shook her head." You sure know Henri would be going with you two, he's Sire Bruce's personal guard. You will be leaving for a week and he will be leaving too " She muttered sadly.Lyra creased her brows in confusion. " Wait, you two aren't going on the dates anymore? " She asked and Tia nodded." Yeah, he already called and apologized to cancel it. He said he had to be with Sire Bruce to an important occasion, never knew it's this " She muttered." What the hell! How could Bruce do this? " Lyra muttered almost angrily." He probably isn't aware the offs he wanted was to spend time with his girl, but even if he knew.. he still wil
Chapter 22And as hoped, Lyra rushed out hurriedly and she heaved a sigh of relief, Henri heard that too and he opened his eyes as he thought it must have been that Lyra was out and he was right.Lyra rushed into the car and turned to Bruce apologetically. " I'm sorry.. something came up and.. "" It's fine.. Henri move out " Bruce cut her off and she tried to calm her abnormal breathing, she suddenly got her period today, it had stained her dress and she had to wear another one and take along some pads, that was what took her so long.Tia turned back slightly and hopefully, Bruce wasn't looking up still, Henri had driven out of the mansion by now." My period " Lyra mouthed to Tia who looked at her quizzically as she wondered what brought about the change of clothes." Oh " Tia mouthed before facing front and then took a sneak peek at Henri who kept a straight face as he drove off. This was the most awkwardest drive ever.She bit her lips when he wouldn't even look at her, he defini
Chapter 23* End of Flashback *" So.. that was what happened " Tia muttered." Wow, you two must be really happy " Lyra said with a knowing smile but Tia shook her head." Well, me alone, not him " She said and Lyra raised her brows." What do you mean? " " Henri hasn't said a proper word to me ever since then. We barely talked and even when we did, it's just about the sleeping arrangements and then him informing me what Sire Bruce wants for breakfast " She replied and Lyra raised her brows." What's with him? " Lyra asked confusedly.Tia leaned closer. " He thinks it's suspicious that Sire Bruce paired us together in a room and the thinks there might be cameras in the room " Tia whispered and Lyra widened her eyes." Alright that's crazy and definitely not possible, that's an invasion of privacy. And moreover, Bruce wasn't probably aware this was going to be where we would be staying so there's definitely no way he would install a camera in the room and the people organizing this
