It's almost past the office hours, but still, there is no message from Drake. Nyra turned off her computer and decided to go and check on Drake. He told her he had meetings lined up till evening.
'Is he not finished yet?' She thought and made the short distance towards his office.
After 'Roland' left, which he insisted Nyra to call him as, Nyra finished her work. She didn't hear from Mason after their lunch either.
Roland was easy to get along with, and his sense of humor is off the charts. He is not at all scary as she previously expected. She enjoyed his company immensely.
When she reached Drake's office in just a couple of minutes, she noticed Steve typing something off in his keyboard.
"Hey Steve" Nyra greeted the vampire.
Steve is busy with all the work which was carried over from the previous day. He didn't notice Miss Adams. When she greeted him, he looked up and smiled at the beautiful human, whom his boss likes.
"Hello, Miss A
After Nyra reached the Hamilton Mansion, she found Douglas waiting for her. She looked at him, but couldn't muster the strength to talk to him.She felt like, they are now strangers after their confrontation from last night. So she ignored him and passed by him to go inside the Mansion.Douglas wanted to talk to her. But he is hesitant. After last night, it is clear what she thinks about him.But he has to talk to her before she drifted off too far away from them. So he took a deep breath before calling her name."Nyra" he called her.Nyra was stunned when her father called her name.'Did he have any other vile things to talk to her about?' She thought angrily.She is more sad than angry. How can he talk to her like this?"Yes?" She turned around and faced him masking her original feelings.Douglas looked at her impassive face and felt a pang of regret in his heart."I need to talk to you about something," he to
Nyra stood under the shower even after the water turned cold. But the cold water hitting her body is not at all bothering her. She barely felt it.The thing which is ripping her apart is the fact that she is an orphan. The life she lived for the past 19 years is a lie. No wonder Douglas never really cared about her.She was running after him for his love and attention, but it turns out, he is not her father at all. He is letting her stay with his mother because he pities her."I am an orphan. My father is not my father, my grandmother is not really mine either. I have nobody. I am an Orphan" Nyra kept repeating those words again and again.She lost track of how long she stayed under the cold spray of water. Her skin became wrinkled and she is ice cold to touch. But she is not feeling anything at all.Her mind and heart are stuck in the fact that she has no one and she is an Orphan."How is she doing?" Barbara asked Douglas."She
"Nyra" Drake shook her a little when she is not responding at all.Her eyes are open and unblinking, and she is looking blankly into space."Nyra, baby look at me," he said softly.She is so sad and heartbroken, she did not respond to his soft coaxing."Look at me," he said firmly.She neither blinked nor responded to him in any way."Nyra" Drake snapped loudly.Nyra flinched and blinked her eyes rapidly.She looked at Drake and her eyes welled up with tears, looking into his familiar comforting face."Please don't cry, baby. It's making me sad looking at you like this" he said softly, making her cry even harder."I am an Orphan Drake. My entire life is a lie" she cried out, her voice hoarse.Drake's heart clenched painfully at her heart-wrenching sobs."Who said you are an Orphan?" he demanded."My da. I mean Douglas said, he is not my father" she whispered sadly."If he is not your father, then how
The next morning, Nyra woke up just like the previous day. Wrapped up in Drake's arms. His thick arm wrapped around her bare waist, as her tank top rode up again in her sleep.'Did I started to sleepwalk?' She thought bewildered.She roughly pushed his hand away and went back to her own room. After showering and changing, she went to cook breakfast.She chattered a little with Emma, who talks a mile a minute. But the girl is sweet and Nyra enjoys her company."It's boring without you staying by my side all day. But I am really happy for you.." Emma was talking nonstop and Nyra was just listening with a small amused smile on her lips."You don't worry, I will be by your side on the weekends" Nyra joked, making Emma giggle.After Nyra was done, she said goodbye to Emma and left the kitchen with a steaming coffee for Drake.She saw Douglas looking at her with uneasiness. Everything she learned is still fresh in her mind. Even though Drak
After the doctor checked Nyra, he gave her some flu medicines and told her to rest. Drake helped her put of her formal wear and dressed her up in one of his t-shirts.Douglas was feeling bad about all of this. He is blaming himself for her sickness. If it's not for him dumping all of that on her head so suddenly, then she might have been fine now.He asked his wife to prepare some soup for Nyra which he bought up to their room. Nyra was sleeping in Mr. Hamilton's room, which worried Douglas a lot.He is worried that, Nyra might end up like her mother. Pregnant and left alone by the one responsible for it.He doesn't want the same thing happening to Nyra. He is scared of Drake to question his intention towards Nyra. But his instincts to protect Nyra was much stronger this time, propelled by his guilt. So he decided to ask Mr. Hamilton to leave Nyra alone.He talked to his wife about it and she too agreed with his decision. The curtain of jealousy and ang
The next morning, Nyra is feeling much better. She woke up much like the same way she is waking up these days.Spooned by Drake, with his strong arm wrapped around her naked waist. The only difference this time is that she is wearing one of his t-shirts, which is now resting under her bare breasts.Today, she didn't pull away or got irritated. Somehow, she understood this wood to be a daily routine.Instead, she rested her palm over his, surprising Drake.She remembers falling asleep on her desk yesterday. Drake must have found her and brought her home."Feeling better?" he asked softly."Hmm," she hummed, still a little sleepy."Why didn't you tell me that you are not well?" he asked her.Nyra remained quiet for a beat before replying."I don't want to worry about me" she agreed.Drake was quiet for a few moments.'Did she doesn't want to worry about me because she likes me? Or because she has someone else
Nyra's phone rang when she was still lying down beside Drake, in deep thoughts. Drake is lazily caressing her mid rift with his knuckles.She jumped a little at the sudden sound.She reached over and looked at the caller ID and sat up immediately."Who is it?" Drake asked, noticing her alarmed look."Roland, I mean your father" she replied just before she answered the call."Good morning Roland" she greeted with a genuine smile, even though he couldn't see her."Good morning Nyra. I hope I am not disturbing you" Roland said.Drake heard it with his sensitive hearing and was about to answer his father when Nyra glared at him.He immediately sealed his lips with his thumb and index finger."No, no Roland. You are not" she assured him."Good, I took the liberty to appoint an assistant for you" Roland informed."Assistant?" Nyra asked in shock."Yes, darling" Roland replied."But I don't need an assistant Rola
Caroline is feeling triumphant as she steps inside the Hamilton group. Sarah has devised a plan to through that human girl out of the Hamilton group.'If she is here close to Drake, then she can seduce him and make him her mate' Caroline thought smugly.But Nyra has other plans laid out for Caroline. She wants to send her away packing within two days.Caroline knows she will be working as an assistant to a chief executive. But Roland intentionally didn't mention her boss's name.When Caroline reported on the top floor, in her boss's office, she was horrified looking at the human girl sitting there with a smug smile plastered on her face."You?" Caroline sneered at the human girl with distaste."Yes, it's me. You should learn to address your boss with respect" Nyra told Caroline.Caroline looked irritated."How can you be my boss? I don't want to work under a human" Caroline snapped before walking out of Nyra's office.Ny
