LOGINLyra's POVKira stood still for a while before finally comprehending what I said. She covered her mouth in shock, “One of the Rourke's children lives with you?” she asked and stared around frantically.I quickly pulled her aside before she makes a noise and attract Luca. “Just take a seat and don't say a single word. I'll be right back.”She took her seat on one of the chairs and watched as I left. I took Eleanor to her room, she immediately walked to her bed and laid down.“You seem tired today.” I said and kissed her cheek before leaving her room.I went to my room afterwards, it had been such a long day. I was exhausted and still concerned about a lot of things.Theron sending his men to abduct me finally showed how far he would really go to get things done. Who knows if would randomly do it again if he feels like? I could not risk letting that happen again.“I should speak to Luca about this. If not anyone else, I must talk to him. He knows his father well and would probably sugge
Lyra's POVOur shifts ended, it was time to finally head home. Kira and I walked home together this time, her sister remained back to finish her work, she had been slow and didn't finish most of her work earlier.“Are you sure you should leave her behind? I thought you two would go home together.” I asked Kira as we exited the supermarket.She scoffed, “Who cares about that low life. She can do whatever she wants. We actually never go home together, I just see her arrive whenever she wants. She is old enough too.” Kira replied.I couldn't tell if this was normal for her or she was just keen on hearing more of what I had to tell her. Kira was pretty invested in the story, mainly because it involved the Rourke family.I sighed and continued walking, she waved down a taxi and we both hopped in.The car had started moving before I noticed what was going on. “Wait, why are we boarding the same taxi home? Do we live the same part of the city?” I asked her.“Oh we actually do.” She replied s
Lyra's POVMy view was completely blocked until the van finally came to a stop. The windows rolled down, we were back in the parking lot of the supermarket.The door slid open, Reece was reaching out for something in a bag as I was urged out by another man. I stepped out, still trembling with fear.Reece stepped out afterwards with a small bag. “Alright, we are back now. You can go on with your day, I'll handle the rest.” He said, attempting to head into the supermarket.“Wait, you're coming with me? I thought you were to just let me go. What are you planning on doing this time?” I asked him.“ You've been gone for almost two hours. Perhaps you have a very good excuse to give your boss already?” Reece taunted.I paused, realizing he would save me my job if he manages to convince the manager. He has surely noticed my sudden disappearance and is not likely the type to accept lame excuses.“Wait, what will you convince him with? Don't tell me you plan on threatening him.”Reece scoffed,
Lyra's POVI was led into the only house in sight, there was nothing but a vast land ahead and behind us. I had no idea where in the world I was.“This way.” I was led into the house, the door opened and we walked in.There was a huge living room with what looked like extremely expensive interior designs. Surely this belonged to Theron, he is well known for extravagant things like this.A farm looks like what a lot of people would consider their dream-home.At the end of the room sat Theron himself alone. He was on his phone until he noticed our presence. Slowly, he dropped the phone and gazed at me for a while.“Sit.” He ordered, his voice carrying so much authority, I didn't need to hear it twice before quickly sitting down.My fingers trembled as I sat there, waiting for what he'd say. I avoided eye contact with him. From the very beginning, I have hated staring into his eyes.Everytime our eyes met, it looked like he'd ordered I get killed immediately. I always wondered how such a
Lyra's POVThe van slowly moved away from the parking lot. We drove past the entrance and my eyes caught up with Kira, it looked like she was searching for me. My heart skipped as we drove past her and she glared at the van suspiciously.I was begging and hoping she would see me from outside but she just continued staring till the van drove off. The tinted windows prevent anyone from seeing absolutely anything.“That wench, she has been staring at the van since we were scoping out the area. I can't believe she caused us so much trouble.” One on the men suddenly said.Kira was right all along, the black van wasn't an ordinary vehicle!“Made us go through so much trouble. We had to hire an old woman and start a new plan, that is absolutely ridiculous!” Another man added.I froze, were they talking about the old woman I helped or someone else. Now that I think of it, it was thanks to the old woman needing my help they were able to lure me out of the Supermarket.“Excuse me, did the old w
Lyra's POV“About...your sister. I am sorry for what I said yesterday.” I blurted. Kira squinted her eyes, she looked so confused. “Why are you apologizing out of nowhere? You're odd today suddenly, what more should I expect?”“Wait, what? I called your sister weird and your expression changed. I figured you'd be pissed at such comment.” I stated.She gasped and laughed suddenly, “That is what you're apologizing for? Why would I be pissed that you said some words about my sister? Oh,look at her. That isn't weird to you?”Celine appeared from the backroom, wearing a dark theme outfit under her work clothes. Her lips were painted dark and her makeup was quite heavy.I nodded slightly, “I guess it is... it's already normal to you isn't it?” I asked.“Of course! She is my sister to begin with isn't she?”It finally made sense now. I had misunderstood her reaction for anger, perhaps she was just thinking of something else.This was relieving, I hadn't made a new enemy like I thought. I h
