Chapter 10
” Oh God ” Lyra sighed frustratedly as she tried to dial Bryan’s number for the umpteenth time but it was futile.
” Gosh, I just wanna know if he’s okay.. I don’t care if he purposely switched off his phone or something. I just wanna know if he’s fine ” She lamented sadly and worriedly.
” Oh God ” She let out a frustrated sigh.
She heard a knock at the door but she ignored it, her head was so occupied with Bryan’s safety, his phone being switched off really got her all worked up.
The knock came once again but she didn’t care. ” Ma’am, are you in there? ” She recognized that voice immediately, it was her Tia, Tia is more like her personal maid.. she does literally everything for her.
” Tia what’s it? ” She struggled to keep her voice loud enough for Tia to hear.
” Sire seems to be going out with Miss Ella, you can go get your stuffs from the room now ” Tia informed.
She had actually asked Tia to inform her whenever those two were out of the house, she wanted to get some important stuffs in their ( her room and Bruce’s room).
” Oh, thanks.. I will go get it then ” She said and she heard Tia’s departing voice and she only let out a sigh. God knows how damn worried she was at the moment.
She got up and decided to get her stuffs once and for all.
After grabbing her stuffs from the room, she was on her way out of the room when she came face to face with Ella. She stopped immediately on her tracks and Ella did the same, glaring so hard and hatefully at her twin sister.
Didn’t Tia say they were out of the mansion?
” And what are you doing with those? ” Ella asked hatefully.
” They’re mine ” Was all Lyra said in reply. Ella let out a scoff. ” And do I look like I care? You taking those stuffs from Bruce’s room without him knowing is stealing! So return them now! ” Ella commanded.
Lyra controlled the urge to slap the bit’ch standing before her as she wanted to do nothing that would get on Bruce’s nerve.
” Ella… they’re mine and as you can see, they are my dresses.. Bruce doesn’t probably owns this right? ” Lyra tried to avoid a scene.
” Return them now before I report you to Bruce for stealing his properties! ”
” Ella! And how’s this your concern? How’s me taking some dresses from I and my husband’s room your problem? ” Lyra burst out angrily.
Ella let out an hysterical laugh. ” Excuse me?.. ” She let out an unbelievable scoff.
” Did you just call Bruce your husband!? Girl seems you’re making a mistake on whose Bruce is! Let me say this to you so you can get it into your skull bi*tch! .. ” She moved daringly closer to Lyra who moved backwards, not in fear but Ella was really almost into her.
” Bruce is mine and will never be yours! The earlier you realize this! The better it is for both of us! Do you get that!?” She snapped angrily before walking past Lyra and purposely hitting her shoulder, almost making her fall.
Lyra sighed frustratedly before walking away, she had always tried her best to avoid trouble especially when it comes with Ella. Ella could be mischievous, evil and cunning at the same time, she knows exactly what her evil twin sister is capable of, so she had always tried to avoid getting on her lane.
The only mistake she had made was getting married to someone she and her twin sister was in love with. If she had knew, if Ella hadn’t hid the fact that she had a secret relationship back then with Bruce even when she knew how much she ( Lyra) was crazy over Bruce Ford.
If Ella had broken it to her that she was in a relationship with Bruce Ford, she would have avoided forcing a marriage contract with him.
She was never aware, even after she got married to Bruce. She only found out and her sister only broke it to her, after she caught Ella in bed with her husband.
Lyra got to her room and her battery was dead. She hadn’t charged it ever since as she had been trying Bryan’s number. What if Bryan suddenly gives her a call but she can’t even know ’cause her phone is dead?
She hurriedly plugged her phone and after the battery boosted a little, she switched it on.
She has to be on guard as she can’t miss Bryan’s call at all.
She sat down before the charging phone and kept staring at its screen, hoping Bruce’s call would just pop in.
Like that, in that position, she kept on staring at the phone’s screen, till she dozed off without knowing and sleep took over.
Some minutes after her eye lids closed, Bryan’s call came in.
**
” Hey! Woman! ” Lyra heard the last voice she was expecting to hear from her sleep that she spranged up immediately.
It was Bruce. How the hell did he enter was the first thing that came to her head and what he was doing with her.
” Why.. why are you here? How did you enter? ” Lyra asked in suprise.
” Get dressed, we’re heading out! ” Was all Bruce said to her before walking out of the room.
She sat still, still wondering how he was able to enter her locked room until it actually struck her that he was the owner of the house and definitely has spare keys to every room in the house.
But that’s an invasion to her privacy!
Who’s she kidding? Not like they weren’t sleeping in the same room before she decided to move out.
They’re heading out? Bruce would never tag her along anywhere and that only means one thing. They’re meeting someone else that doesn’t know about Bruce’s hatred for her and they have to put on a show for whoever it is.
But who’s the person?
She shouldn’t care about now right?
With that, she wakes away to the bathroom to freshen up again.
Meanwhile, her phone rang silently, it was from Bryan.
Seems it’s Bryan’s turn now to worry about why she wasn’t picking up.
