Chapter 68.Lyra was lying on the bed, scrolling through her phone before Bryan showed up. He has just finished bathing and dried his hair with the hand drier. He looked at Lyra and looked away. Ever since they had that argument in the morning, Lyra has refused talking to him and it was very annoying. He has apologized countlessly, she still wouldn't talk to him.He was becoming scared because he has never seen Lyra act the way she did over any issue they have had before.Bryan put on only his pants and climbed the bed, as he was about to shift close to Lyra, she moved away without looking at him. He sighed and made to cross his hand but she immediately stood up to leave and he quickly held her back."Stop all these attitudes Lyra, I have been apologizing… I know I acted like a jealous kid then, I'm sorry," Bryan said softly, looking intensely at Lyra who was avoiding his eyes.He waited for Lyra to reply but it never came, which made him feel so hurt. He was trying to plead for forgi
Chapter 69Ella and Clinton left for sightseeing and ended up in the amusement park where they had fun and got to give each other a special treat."I love it whenever we go out together," Ella said and Clinton smiled."I would do anything to put a smile on your face," he replied, which made Ella blush. She grabbed him and kissed his lips not minding they were in the open."Easy honey," Clinton chuckled seductively and grabbed Ella's waist. She laughed and kissed him again which Clinton responded to.An elderly lady cleared her throat which snapped them out of their kiss. Ella looked at the elderly lady and wondered why she was standing in front of them."There are children in this park… The two of you should get hold of yourself," the woman said."We are sorry," Clinton apologized but Ella shunned him."This is a general place, ma'am! We can do whatever we want… it's the kids that are meant to look away when any of them sees us," Ella replied rudely with anger."That wouldn't be possi
Chapter 70.Bright lights blinded Ella's eyes as she opened them.She rubbed slightly on her eyes to clear her vision and looked around.She was inside a strange room alone under white sheets. She sprang up on her feet wondering what she was doing inside the strange room alone.As she tried to get off the bed, a sharp pain hit her head and she felt like throwing up. She rushed into the available bathroom she sighted inside the room and started throwing up inside the already opened water closet.Ella threw up until nothing was left in her stomach again. She wiped her mouth and dragged me out of the bathroom. As she sat back on the bed wondering what she was doing in the strange room, all the events from last night came rushing into her memories.She actually partied with a random guy who she ended up with in a room and couldn't go home.Ella cursed and quickly checked herself, she was still intact. The guy didn't sleep with her, he stopped after attempting to make them start their ni

Chapter 72Henri felt tense as he looked at the man. He was short of words and didn't even know how to go about paying such an Amount of money."That's too much," He cried out but the man cared less."He looked so rich, what would he want that money for?" Henri asked himself."Please sir, pardon her and accept the one she has," Henri begged and the man turned to look at him."Are you hearing yourself?" The man barked with rage."Who's she that you are pleading on her behalf?" The man asked, throwing daggers at Henri."She is my girlfriend, I know she cannot afford that much, and secondly, she is already running out of time," Henri pleaded and the man burst into annoying laughter.He never stopped laughing until after some seconds."You think I'm a fool right?" He asked Henri."I should just let her go without taking my money from her?" The man asked."That's not what I mean. Alright let her go… let's settle this instead," Henri said but the man didn't even care to look at him."Please
Chapter 73After a long time, Tia and Lyra emerged from the kitchen. The kids were already starving and refused to eat anything other than what their mother was preparing since they craved it.Lyra noticed Tia was silent for a while and wondered perhaps it was because of what had occurred earlier with the crazy rich man. She hoped the girl wasn't holding herself responsible for what had occurred.She called the children first for dinner, and they all settled down to eat.Miley and Miles sat down at the diner to eat."Tia, are you okay?" She asked the moment she noticed everyone has settled down and was now focused on their foodTia nodded with her head down but when she looked at Lyra she sighed dejectedly and then dropped her spoon"I'm sorry Lyra. You had to spend that much money on me. I swear I didn't-""And I've told you it's enough. Why are you still making a big deal out of it?" Lyra asked with a deep frown.Yes, the money was much but she can afford ten times more so she doesn
Chapter 74Today is Saturday and was the day for the date. Tia hurriedly dressed up as she was going out with Henri. He is taking her out on a dinner date today as it was her free day and she has already taken permission from Lyra.Tia wore a slightly body-fitted black gown and black heels to match, she packed her hair into a ponytail and applied light makeup to match, she took her black mini handbag and was ready to go."Are you done? babe!" Henri texted."Yeah, I am! I'm coming outside to join you soon," Tia replied and started heading outside.As she walked out, she saw Henri leaning on his car looking so handsome than ever with a black suit and shoes to match."You look breathtaking my miss black!" he complimented as Tia approached him."Thanks, sir Henry! you are looking so handsome as usual," Tia said and bowed which made them burst into laughter."Like seriously? When are you going to stop this black of a thing… I didn't say it doesn't suit you but you are getting more addicte
Chapter 75Lyra sat on a bench as she watched the children play in the garden. Miles, Ryan, and Miley were having a good time as they played different games together.After their call the night before, Ryan promised to come very early so that he could play with them. Ryan wasn't blabbering when he said that because he came extremely early he was the one that woke everybody up.After breakfast, they came out to the garden to have some fun together.Lyra was supposed to go to work but Tia was not back yet. She must have had the time of her life with Henri that she couldn't make it back home last night. Just as she was thinking of Tia, the lady came into view"Oh, so you know the way back to your house"Tia blushed before greeting her a good morning"Good morning to you too. The last time I checked you only told me you were going for a dinner date, what happened?"Tia cleared her throat trying her possible best not to blush but she was failing woefully because her neck and ears were alre
