As Lyra tried to turn from her sleep, she couldn’t help but feel the stiffness around her which caused her to sprang her eyes open instantly.She groaned as she glanced down at the strong hands that wrapped around her body tightly and then breathed out.Did he not say he was going to be there only till she was awake?She tried to adjust but the man was holding her so tightly that his life depended on it.One of his arms curled around her neck and the other around her waist.Instead of feeling uncomfortable or anything, Lyra relaxed her muscles and then tried to sleep back as she didn’t want to wake him. But, his strong scent and his heavy breathing at the nape couldn’t let her.She closed her eyes as her mind started to wander about. The feeling of being held so tightly by him was starting to dwell in her and she could feel nothing but heat building up inside of her.When the man who held her tightly suddenly jolted with her in his arms and groaned, she raised her brows and sniffed.“

“Calm down, Lyra,” I said as I turned to look out of the window and there was no longer the bike in sight.I could have chosen to get into a hot chase with him, but Lyra was in the car with me and that would cause her to panic more.Before my men drove out from the compound, they would have totally lost him, so I just breathed out, closed the box, and threw it in the back seat.“Is that blood?” She asked, panting.“Calm down, please, it’s nothing to bother about,” I assured her, leaned closer to her, and then unfastened her seat belt.“Is anything wrong, sir?”The head of the security guards stopped beside the car and I smacked, “Can you find that rider?”“I’m certain we would have lost him already but we can give it a try,” he said and I shook my head.“Don’t worry,” I waved my hand at him and he moved back.Watching Lyra who struggled to collect herself, I took her hand in mine and then fondled it gently.“Who could have done that? Do you think it is Kelvin? Or his boss?” She asked

“So, is this a deal?”Angel asked, smiling so widely like she had no worry in the world while she looked at Lyra.Lyra pressed her lips together and then nodded her head.Although she felt very uncomfortable with the woman in front of her, she wouldn’t deny the fact that she had brought a very nice and profitable business deal and she really had no reason to dispute it.She talked with the executives about it and everyone was so pleased with it, so she had no reason to sign the deal.“I believe we’re going to make awesome business partners,” Angel smiled.“Right?” Lyra smiled back and then picked up her pen.While Angel watched, she signed her part of the deal and then shifted the contract to Angel who signed it too, immediately.Together, they stood up, and then shook hands, “Thank you,” Lyra smiled.“I look forward to working with you.”Angel tilted her head, and said, “Right?” Feeling accomplished, she settled back in her seat and then crossed her legs.This was going very smoothl

“Are you saying you’ve liked me right from the beginning?”“Don’t misquote me.”Lyra laughed and clasped her hands together. “That’s what you just said. You said you wanted to marry me the moment you saw me.”“Which food are we trying out today?” He changed the subject immediately.“So, you have feelings for me?” She teased, sticking her tongue out.“We have tried pretty much every restaurant in this area. Where should we go now?”“Are you changing the subject? You can talk to me. I won’t mock you,” she said, laughing.“I have not even said anything yet but you’re laughing,” he shook his head and she swallowed.“Do you like me? You even said you could have protected me without having to marry me. So…” she gasped and widened her eyes.“So, it was a trap! You duped me!”“God, Lyra!”“Tell me the truth.”“Let’s eat from that restaurant. God, you’re so unromantic. What I had said was supposed to be so sweet and soothing to hear. You should have said ‘aww’ like three times already, but you

It was Friday, and it was finally the day for the party. I breathed out in fear of the unknown. In anxiety, perhaps. How Lyra was going to view my family and how it might make her judge me. I swallowed hard as I glanced at the time. It was barely a few minutes past seven and the party started by 8PM. Kiara and Kirill had arrived at my house, and while I waited for the woman who was taking her time dressing up behind the closed door, I breathed out again. Kirill wanted to go with me, and he said he would prefer it if we all went in at the same time. Knowing that the man had literally no reason to be there but was going regardless because of me soothed my heart a little and I unconsciously glanced at the time too. There was little to no time anymore and then the last thing I wanted was to rush the woman, so I just stood still while I stared at her door. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, the door creaked open, and Lyra stepped out. The olive green was the perfect colour
