Devian reached Ashley’s house covering a distance of almost 15 minutes in just a couple of minutes.
After reaching there, he first took a deep breath calming himself.
Knock knock!
Hearing the knock Ashley went to open the door.
“Mr Lyle?” Ashley thought he would come in an hour or two. Seeing him just in a few minutes she was surprised.
“Who’s it?” Arien also woke up because of the knock and came out rubbing her eyes.
“Me.” Devian said coldly.
Hearing his voice Arien froze.
“How did you find me?” Arien asked.
“Come with me.” Devian held her hand and pulled her but she didn’t move.
“I’m not coming” she said pulling her hand back.
Devian didn’t thought anything and picked her up.
“Ugh! Devian!” She struggled. She was still in her pajamas. How can this man take her out like this?
He shoved her into the car and started the engine. Arien notice that they were not on the way back to Lyle Mansion.
Arien was not in the mood to ask. Anyways, he wont harm her she believed.
He took her to an apartment. She saw the board. It was the Loveland apartment.
It was clean and beautiful. Not big as the Lyle mansion but had all necessities. With its decoration Arien could guess that it was Devian’s.
He locked the door behind.
“De… Devian… What are you doing?” Arien asked.
“What were you doing yesterday night?” He didn’t answer but asked another question.
“Huh?” Yesterday she was attacked and taken away from his house. He didn’t bother to find her till morning and now he has the guts to ask such a question!
“Since you aren’t answering let me remind you. You were in the Star View hotel whole night… With a man!”
Arien was shocked. “He knew but didn’t come to pick me?” This was unacceptable.
“Yes I was there so what?” Arien was angry.
“And what were you doing there?” He raised his eyebrows.
“He knew about me being in the hotel but didn’t find out the reason?” She thought.
“Tell me Arien?” He asked holding her shoulders.
“Yes! I was with a man! Any problem Devian?” She glared at him.
“Why wouldn’t I have problems with my wife spending whole night with another man!” Devian looked like a demon from hell.
His cold smile made Arien even more angry.
Actually Devian had complete trust in her but she was lying to him even now. She must have come back to him first at least before going to Ashley’s house and told him everything.
She didn’t called him to take her back and now saying the things she shouldn’t. This was the reason for him being angry.
“What were you doing there?” He knew about the incident and had already kept people to search about it. Dean was on it but still Devian wanted to hear the things from her.
“I told you!” Arien shouted.
Devian was now in the verge of loosing his temper. She still didn’t wanted to tell him the truth!
Doesn’t she trust him or she trust that man more than him who took her to the hotel.
“Since you don’t want to tell me I’ll find out myself.” Devian approached her and held her dress.
The sleeve of her dress was ripped off by him.
“Devian!” Arien hugged herself and squatted down trying to stop him doing this further.
“Tell me Arien what did you do yesterday night?” He asked again.
“You didn’t bother to find me and now you’re asking me this! How dare you Devian. I’m already a nobody in your eyes and you still want to speak like this to me! You’ve no rights!” Arien spoke all in one breath.
“I have no rights?” Devian said. His tone was cold. “I’m your husband.”
This was the first time he has talked to her like that. She couldn’t understand why he was talking to her like that.
Did he think her to be such a girl? Does he not believe her even a bit.
“You…!” Arien was out of words. “This man really thinks her to be that kind of a girl!”
“What? Shouldn’t you’ve called me instead of that person?” He looked at her with an emotionless face.
But she did call him. He was the one who didn’t picked the call. Now, how can he put the blames on her?
“I don’t care if you’re my husband!” Arien shouted with red eyes.
“Ohh…” Devian didn’t say anything further.
He walked out and slammed the door shut.
Arien also didn’t move. She sat there sobbing. She felt heartbroken, not because he talked to her like that but because he didn’t accept that he was wrong.
He didn’t even asked about if she was hurt. He didn’t bother to ask her anything about the incident but he actually shouted at her.
She wept and wept. After a while she heard the door open and then a coat was put up on her.
She lifted her head up and saw Devian holding his coat over her.
She quickly lowered her head again so as to not let him see her miserable look when she was crying.
He supported her up and then took her to the room, “get yourself changed.”
Then he turned around to leave. All the while Arien was quiet but now she spoke, “Devian”
“Hmm…?” He turned back.
“I want to talk.” She said.
“Silly girl!” He patted her head then cupping her face with his palm he kissed away her tears. “Get changed. We’ll talk later”
“No… Devian… I…” Arien still wanted to talk about the incident now.
“Shhh..” Devian walked to the wardrobe and took out a dress for her. “Go Mrs Lyle. After you’ve done, we’ll talk.”
Arien finally went to get changed.
…
“We’re getting nothing else about Devian Lyle except that he is the owner of Visight where miss Jenner works.” Luke said.
“Okay, anything else?” The man exclaimed.
“Young master, according to what we have found, miss Jenner has a husband, she’s married.”
“Husband!” The man was surprised. He has seen her with a man but he never thought that she would be married. Moreover, if the man could buy her such an expensive dress surely he’s not just a common man!
“Husband or whatever. Remember you’re mine!” The man smiled.
