Lyra replied as she moved closer to him to place a kiss on his lips but he drew backLyra furrowed her brows "What's going on?" She asked"I ask you again Lyra, where the hell are you coming from?" Bryan practically screamed, causing Lyra's face to darken.He knew, he knew she had gone to see Bruce, but how? She wondered"You went over to see Bruce, right?" He growled in anger. Lyra peeped into the house. There was no one in the living room so she sighed in relief. She wouldn't want her children to hear her and Bryan argue again."Bryan calm down. I had only gone to speak with him""You even dare admit it" he pulled her by the arm when she was about to walk inside"Bryan" she whined in pain "You're hurting me"Bryan ignored her and pulled her to him"I warned you about him and his useless son and you had t
Chapter 85It was a Sunday evening, the entire building was quiet. A man sat on his office chair as he looked through old documents and newspapers. He had a frown on his face as he couldn't find exactly what he was searching for.He knew he was close, he could tell. He had sent his partner, Michael, to find a hacker to get those videos concerning the incident. They both had their hands busy as they searched for something that could point to the criminal. The person who had murdered the young teenager some years back.Mrs. Margret has decided to reopen the case. Back then, because she was poor they slept the case under the rug.

Chapter 86Ella and a dead body were taken to court. Clinton's, died that instant when he was shot twice as he tried to escape.Ella had cried her eyes out till they got to the courtroom. She didn't know what was going on anymore. She was led inside the courtroom but her mind was far from what the judge or the lawyers were saying.Cold filled her body as she thought of Clinton dead. She didn't want that to happen to the man, they had just gotten married. Her eyes sting with hot tears as she sniffed.She felt a piercing gaze digging into her, she turned to see a woman staring hatefully at her. She wondered who the woman was and why she was looking at her that way.Ella blames Clinton for everything that's happening. If he had told her earlier, she would have found a way out of this mess. She had been able to silence the whole thing before, she would have been able to do it againLost in thought, Ella was jolted out of her thoughts when she saw a very familiar scene being played on the

But when she got there, Lyra still haven't gotten the news yet"That happened?" Lyra asked with a deep frown. She wondered what else those two haven't done in this lifeThey were cheaters, liars, bullies, fraudsters, home breakers, thieves, and now murderers had been added to the list.She knew of the murder back then in school. She would never in her wildest dream think that Clinton or Ella was involved in that boy's death.That morning when they heard of the news of George's death, they were all so sorrowful including Ella, whereas she had a hand in his death.The more Lyra got to know Ella, the more she feared the girl.

She had had a rough day at work and just wanted to lay her head to sleepHer children came running to her when they saw her step into the house leaving their food behind and Ryan wasn't an exception. He also ran to her and she also kissed him like she kissed her twins"You all look happy," Lyra said after she observed their faces.Miley broke the news before anyone else did"Of Course mom, Ryan's daddy bought us cupcakes"Lyra's eyes moved around the house, she couldn't find the man anywhere so she asked Ryan"Where is your father?""He is upstairs, should I call him for you?" Ryan asked but didn't wait for a reply as he ran upstairs to his father's room to get his fatherBruce, who was busy in his room, left his work to come downstairs with his son. He also needed to relate Ella's message to Lyra"Good evening Bruce" she greeted with a tight smile.Bruce smiled back "Good evening Lyra. Hm, how are you doi
Chapter 89"Really?" Bryan asked with a wide smile that made Lyra's heart warm. She can't remember the last time she saw that smile on the man's face.She nodded before moving closer to him and holding unto his necktie"Yes. Why don't we just keep that man beside us and live our lives? You know I love you, we would go to sign our marriage certificate next week, okay?"Bryan nodded before planting a kiss on her lips"I love you" he confessed and Lyra hummed"I love you too" she raised her legs slightly to meet his member and said in a low seductive voice"I'm really tired, you would have cussed a lot tonight. But one round wouldn't break me" she moved away from him before swinging her hips left and right upstairs to their room.Bryan, who couldn't register what she meant on time, watched as she moved up the stairs. He mentally groaned before following her with fast steps."Lyra!" Bryan called when he saw that the girl had run into the room. He opened the door to see her only in her bra
Chapter 90"Hey, babe" Henri kissed Tia's forehead immediately after he stepped into her office."Thanks for coming""Anything for you," Henri said before asking when he saw the face she was making"Are you okay? You didn't sound fine on the phone either. What's wrong?"Tia only pulled him into a hug as she murmured something he couldn't hear. He hugged her tightly before saying"What's wrong, Tia?""I'm stressed," she said as her eyes watered. "Your idea worked, everyone had prepared their designs already. All we are doing now is waiting for the day""Then why do you sound sad?" He asked really confused but didn't let her go"My heart is heavy" she looked up at him with teary eyes as she hugged him."I feel like this is the calm before the storm, Henri"Henri furrowed his brows before wiping her cheeks which were stained with tears. He kissed her slowly and gently on the lips.His heart ached for her, he didn't know what she was talking about but he wanted her to be safe in his arms.
Chapter 91Lyra made her way to the station to see Ella. Since the children made that comment she had been disturbed about what Bryan knew that Ella knew.Neither of them doesn't even know the other. Things were getting really confusing to her. Bryan and Ella never really shared any relationship where he would know that she knows somethingAs she made her way inside the station, she saw Ella already waiting for her there. With a smile Ella said,"I knew you would come"Lyra sat down opposite her but didn't say a word. Ella didn't mind, she continued"Ah, I knew the obedient fool would pass my message to you.

She suddenly asked, making Lyra frown."No, I didn't know""D
