Lyra
I lay on the bed, my eyes were on the ceiling, observing something that I had no idea of. My hands were rubbing my belly slowly, my breathing was stable too. A few hours left to meet uncle Josh in the café that was a few walks away from this condo.
Last night I finished reading that infamous diary of his. Everything was fine, I was too. I was curious and desperate to know the identity of the woman, but I was fine. However, after putting down the diary, I wasn’t fine. I was full of disgust and hatred towards a lot of people, and those emotions kept me in bed for a long time.
Last night, I was in bed with no sleep. I didn’t fight with that either, as I was busy thinking. A crap load of stuff came into my mind. I never thought about anything like that happening to me or affecting me this badly.
How would a sentence change someone’s life this way that you started to question everything you knew all your life?

I never had many friends, not when they were from the circle that belonged to me.I had always found it intricate to blend up with these rich boys. I went to a private school where all money-loaded parents sent their children either to show off how much money they had or to sing their own praises about what they were able to afford. In my school, most kids belonged to the elite family of Chicago with money and reputation. The fees were so high that one person could live their life on that with little worry.The school was famous for its football team, which was like a legacy to the school. Every year our school was proud to be the winner of the interstate football champion; however, the worse was the boys who played on this team. The footballers.All of those high school boys were hot-headed bullies. One incident that still stood out in my mind was the one where one footballer sexually assaulted the cheerleader after the game.

He was so stubborn about staying in Italy for his business that it took five human brains and a whole year to succeed in our heist.But he was here. It was our (Luka, Matero, Caleb, Luke, and me) plan that after he landed in Chicago, they would fetch him here, so he and I could talk. A long waiting talk between us was still waiting patiently, or should I say I was waiting for me with every drop of lenience I had in my body.It was a prolonged and sluggish wait.

Lyra was standing in front of me, wearing the most flimsy dress that she could ever own. No, this couldn’t be her dress. I was familiar with her wardrobes like a dream and that piece she never had in her closet. Most of her clothes were traditionalist, with full sleeves and knee-length dresses, it filled most of her closet with jeans and blouses, shirts, and dresses. She wasn’t a big fan of fashion, but packed her wardrobe with a good number of designer brands.The lewd white dress that she was wearing right now that indulged to stop a little lower than her ass. Every time she turned, I could see her pale, creamy thigh. Her shoulder was bare as it was an off-shoulder dress, every time she lowered herself, all the men in this room could see her breasts that were about coming out of the dress. She tied her hair into a high ponytail, which gave an impeccable show of her neck. Because of that, she was smiling.She was fucking smiling towa

It was working; the strategy was fucking thriving. I could see anger in Nathan’s eyes as I talked about Devin, along with all the nonsense that came out of my mouth. The venture that I acquired this time was seducing Nathan before he returned to Italy. An arduous, complicated, and devious one that I needed to hit the target this time, no matter what. The lack of enough time was another reason that I was direct in action rather than teasing him as there was no time for that.I had only three days in my hand, 72 hours before he left for Chicago, and that was giving me an anxiety attack right now. After I told them Nathan was leaving in five days, it was a surprising punch to all of them. I lost all my hope when he announced the time of his departure, but it was Matero who was tenacious. He just wasn’t ready to accept the truth, so he came up with a plan. A solid one.Seduce Nathan. It needed to be done in this limited time that we had.
