Chapter 32
” Really? ” Lyra asked. ” Yeah ” He replied.
” Have I ever seen your face before? ” Lyra asked to be sure because while she read the chats that happened between her and Bryan, she found out she had been longing to see his face and figure.
” Um.. No ” Bryan replied truthfully and Lyra raised her brows. ” Why? Are you one ugly man? Or are you scared Bruce would kill you if he finds out? Why hide your face from someone you truly love? ” Lyra asked confusedly.
” It’s.. it’s just, Lyra I have my reasons and I explained them to you back then and you understood but I don’t think this you will, all I just have to say is, I have a good reason and I promise I will reveal my face to you soon, once you’re completely mine ” He said and Lyra raised her brows again.
” Make myself completely yours? And let me guess, that will be when I have divorced Bruce? ” Lyra asked more like a statement.
” Yeah ” Bryan answered.
” And if I really love you then why haven’t I signed the divorce and then be with you instead? ” Lyra asked him.
” I really don’t know, you said you were going to do it anyways and I shouldn’t worry ” Bryan said and Lyra nodded.
” Alright then, um.. aren’t you kinda busy working? I’m about to have an afternoon sleep right now but I don’t wanna leave you hanging so do you have a thing to do to not? ” Lyra asked.
” Well, I actually do. So that means I would be chatting you up later then ” Bruce said and she nodded.
” Yeah, bye ”
” Bye ” He replied and she hanged up.

Lyra walked into the master bedroom without knocking, making Bruce who was just dressing up flinch as he hurriedly put on his shorts. He was still shirtless, he was about having a warm bath, he just arrived from a tedious business meeting with some of his partners.
” Hey” He said with a hoarse voice as he turned his back against Lyra. He let out a silent sigh as he grabbed his shirt to put back on.
Lyra smirked lightly before walking behind him, she touched his shirtless back seductively, trailing her hands over his body and his breathing twitched and he gasped sharply.
Lyra smirked satisfactorily as she kept on rubbing her fingers on his shirtless body making him lose his mind endlessly.
He couldn’t bring himself to pushing her away or stopping her as she kept on doing wonders on his body.
She trailed her hands to his front chest and rubbed seductively on it and he held his breath so hard, trying not to make any sound.
Her hands suddenly trailed down to the edge of his shorts and he regained his senses and moved away.
She smiled in satisfaction before she also made her way out of the room.
” She did that? ” Alex asked in suprise and Bruce nodded.
” Yeah.. I’m.. too stunned to say anymore words, she has been doing that ever since, I’m confused. Why’s she doing that? ” Bruce asked with a really confused look on.
” I don’t know.. don’t you think it’s cause she lost her memories and she probably thinks it’s right since you’re her husband or.. ”
” Or, she’s trying to make me fall for her and then sign the divorce papers gladly? Come on she said stuffs like that during breakfast earlier. She said she was going to divorce me gladly in the nearest future ” Bruce said.
” And isn’t that what you want? And moreover she will be back to her normal self by next month. All this wouldn’t matter, and like you had said before, you seemed to did somethings that made Lyra hate you more right before she lost her memory so trust me, once she’s back to her normal self. She would be divorcing you straight and since that’s exactly what you want, there’s no problem with that ” Alex said and Bruce nodded..
” But what about the games she seems to be playing now? ” Bruce asked worriedly.
” Then you let her by watching since you can’t be affected, could you? You love Ella and you definitely can’t fall her through her games ” Alex said and he sighed.
” That’s the problem. Her mind games seems to be having effects on me ” Bruce said truthfully and Alex was too stunned to speak.
” Y.. you.. her.. they’re having effects on you? Her touch? ” Alex asked in shock and Bruce nodded.
” Wow.. I… that’s too early to admit to, I can’t believe this. Thought you hated her but now, you seem to be falling for her ”
” I’m not falling for her ” Bruce cut him off in a snap. ” You’re not? ” Alex asked with a raised brow.
” I’m not! Things are just happening like this ’cause I’m not taking actions against her acts, all because she lost her memory but if she keeps on with this, I would have to stop her trespassing ” Bruce said and Alex node anyways.
” I guess ” He muttered.
** Lyra’s Room **
” You did that? ” Tia asked unbelievably and she nodded.
” Miss.. ” Tia called tiredly and Lyra raised her brows. ” I seriously don’t think your plans would work, why not just stay low till you regain your memory. I think Sire Bruce isn’t taking actions just because he’s somehow the cause of your situation, so please don’t take advantage of this and provoke him, he might change his mind ” Tia said, hoping Lyra would listen.
” Well, I want to give it a try. Make him pay for his sins ”
” But, you’re in no good position to do that now, regain your memories first, stay low okay? And don’t disappoint Sire Bryan please, he really loves you so much. Please stop ” Tia pleaded and Lyra sighed.
” Alright, I will lay low this time around, but my tricks continues. I will ensure he have a taste of you loving someone and the person not loving you back ” Lyra muttered.
” I will support you in this but just don’t do all those kissing stuffs again, please ” Tia pleaded.
” I promise I won’t again ” She said and Tia smiled. ” Thanks ” She muttered and then Lyra’s phone beeped.
” I think it’s Bryan ” Lyra muttered with a wide smile and Tia nodded.
She read the message and her smile widened the more.
” Is he always like this? ” Lyra asked Tia, a smile still playing on her lips with her face still glued to her phone.
” Bryan? ” Tia asked to be sure and Lyra nodded.
” Yeah.. him. He’s so funny ” Lyra said in smiles and Tia chuckled.
” Yeah ” She muttered.
* Alright, later then * Lyra texted and then inserted her phone in her pockets.
” How many days left before I regain my memory? ” She asked Tia.
” Is this some sorts of jokes? ” Tia chuckled.
” I’m serious ” Lyra smiled.
” 25 days ” Tia replied.
” I gotta achieve my mission before then ” Lyra muttered.
* Next Day *
” Hey ” Lyra said with a little smile as she sat on the couch in the sitting room right next to Bruce.
” Morning ” He only muttered and then looked away not after glancing secretly at Alex who only glanced back without saying a word.
” Are you preparing for our anniversary date like I asked? ” Lyra asked and Bruce turned to her slowly.
” Um.. I.. ”
Lyra cut him off with a sigh.
” Alright, I know you really don’t care for me like you do for Ella since you love her instead but at least make that day a special for me, I will be really grateful. You don’t want it to go like my birthday did when you got me no gifts but someone else did. I know you wouldn’t want me going out with someone else on our anniversary, what do you think the media would say about this? So… Ensure you make it special for me, okay? ”
” You probably don’t know what I like since you know nothing about me. I love flowers, a lot and I love flashy gifts like cars, I really love cars and then clothes, You should get me lots of that and then diamond jewelries, get me those too. With this, I promise you would be the most perfect husband in the world and you don’t have to worry too, I will get you gifts too, lots of them, understood? ” Lyra asked and Bruce nodded anyways.
Alex shook his head and then with a secret smile. Bruce’s falling into her traps so easily.
” Anyways, I want us to go on a date together right now at a nice restaurant ” Lyra said with a smile.
” Um.. I.. I’m busy ” Bruce stuttered and Lyra scoffed.
” No, you’re not. I’m gonna help you with this once we’re back but I want us to head out. Come on, the media are probably wondering what’s up with her marriage, I’m damn sure we haven’t probably attended an occasion together before. That’s not too nice, I’m your wife Bruce. Treat me like one for now before we would get divorced ” Lyra said with a little smile.
” Um.. I.. ”
” I would go get dressed then! ” Lyra cut him off and got on her feet before he could stop her. She was almost dashing off when sound of claps stopped her.
The clap continued but she didn’t look back as the familiar cologne of whom it was hit her.
” I never knew you were such a great pretender! You are really shameful, aren’t you? ” Ella asked angrily and Lyra scoffed thinly before turning to face Ella.
” Excuse me? ” She asked with a raised brow.
” Even with your lost memories, you’re aware of the fact that Bruce doesn’t love you but loves me instead and it’s only a forced marriage but shameful you like you’ve always been kept on taking advantage of your pitiful situation to harass him even when you’re aware he’s not your property ” Ella spat angrily.
” Hmm.. You know Ella, I really don’t remember anything about you, or about our childhood, not even one. But I can guess right judging by how you speak, you’re really dumb! ” Lyra said flatly and Ella’s eyes widened in shock.
” Yeah, I mean you don’t even have a company of your own but you got mine into your grasp through selfish means but you can’t even manage it well, you’re almost ruining it for me, you literally have no sense to think properly at all… ” Lyra moved daringly closer to Ella with a straight eyes, making her shift backwards in fear.
” Incase you probably lost your senses as thought, I’mma remind you. I own this house, my husband’s property is also mine and I could get you thrown out in seconds, okay? And you also have no say outside as a member of the Ford’s family, why? Cause you’re not one. I am a member of the Ford’s family and I have access to every fvcking thing they own. And I’m known to the media as a member of the Ford’s family, but you? You’re just a despicable and shameless woman trying to ruin her sister’s home. I’m sure the media would be so excited to pick interest in a topic like this. So, watch your mouth Miss Ella Hansley and don’t cause troubles in my husband’s home before I have you thrown out and next time, you’re not welcomed in here without approval and you… ” She turned abruptly to Bruce.
” You have no say in this, I don’t care if she’s your woman. This is my house and I don’t want to ever see her here. If you don’t go in accord with this, I’mma have her sued and we both know, you’re no where close to me when it comes to connections or powers, so don’t dare me! ” Lyra said sternly and with a straight face.
She turned back to Ella now with a smirk. ” But since you’re my twin sister and we have the same face, I’mma do you this favor, you can come along with my husband and I with Alex, it could be a double date. That way you could monitor your man and ensure he doesn’t act all lovey-dovey with his wife ” Lyra said mockingly and then made her way, up the stairs.
Tia rushed after her at once. ” Wow, that was so cool, but how do you know all that? I mean that you have lots of connections? ” Tia asked.
” Come on, I know I do. Bryan just filled me in on the part that I have way more than he has ” Lyra said with a light smile as they both walked into her room.
” You have plans for this date right? ” Tia asked and she nodded with a smirk.
” Definitely ” She muttered.
