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
Chapter 24* Tia and Henri's Room *Tia got up from the bed when Henri sat on the bed, she walked over to the couch available in their room.Henri sighed as he watched her. Tia sat on the bed and then brought out her phone." Tia.. " Henri called slowly but she turned deaf ears to him and only worked on her phone." Are you mad at me? " He asked but got no reply." I'm sorry... "" Tia.. " He called severally but she ignored him completely.Suddenly, he was right behind her and snatched her phone. " Henri! " She gasped unbelievably and got up from the couch.Henri raised the phone above his head. " What do you think you're doing? " Tia asked in annoyance." Trying to get you talk to me " He replied cutely.Tia fold her arms under her breasts. " And why are you bothered about that? I thought you didn't want to say a word to me before? " She asked, rolling her eyes." Well, I want to now " Henri muttered." Are you giving me my phone or not? " She stretched her hands but he shook his he
Chapter 25" W.. what are you doing? " Lyra whispered as he dipped more grapes inside her mouth." You don't want them asking questions do you? " He replied simply and she shut up." Oh my! They are here finally " The host announced and the people available in the main room looked up to see the other man an his wife with an apologetic smile on." Hi " The man shook hands with some other men's while his wife also did the same. Those at the pool party walked out the exchange pleasantries with them.The man and his wife turned to The Ford's who sitted calmly on their seat." Hi, I'm Miss Vette " She said with a proud smile. " Hi, nice to meet you " Bruce shook hands with her and then Lyra." You're here with him right? " Bruce asked as he gestured at the man who was still shaking hands with the other people." Yeah, he's my fiance, we are not married yet " She said with a short smile and Bruce nodded, some seconds later the man in a white shirt and trouser walked over to them.He has a b
