Chapter 45
” I don’t think that should be a problem, your company is doing well without mine ” She replied with a straight and expressionless face.
Bruce scoffed dryly. ” Well, I did some research on Lyra Hansley and I must say you’ve gone really far within a period of five years, not what I expected ” He said and Lyra chuckles dryly, still maintaining a straighten face.
” But due to some reasons I couldn’t find out any personal information about you. Are you hiding? Where’s your husband? Or you still don’t have one ” Bruce chuckled dryly.
” Since we’re done with the appropriate conversation we were supposed to have, it would be great if you can leave my office Mr Ford ” Lyra said sternly.
” Or she still hasn’t gotten over you dear ” Ella mocked and Bruce chuckled.
” Is that true dear Lyra? Or you still in love with “Bryan”? ” He mocked and Ella chuckled.
Lyra smiled, making them raise their brows slightly. ” I can see you finally got him Ella, congratulations to you two and yeah, you have a boy for him already… ” She chuckled dryly.
” But have you found out the truth about your dear wife? ” She paused to study Bruce’s expression.
” I guess not, and you should try to find out if that little boy belongs to you, you never know what someone like my twinny can do, and you two should stay far away from my business. Especially you Ella, else it won’t end well and keep your little boy away from my kids. I don’t want them getting entangled in your awful life… ” She turned to Tia.
” Lead them out ” She said and Tia bowed lightly.
She moved closer to them. ” This way please ” She said and they stood up at once.
Bruce gave Lyra a final suspicious glance before walking out while Ella looked at her, a scared and defeated expression on her face and she walked after her husband.
Tia turned to Henri whose eyes were glued on hers.
” You’re not going to go after your boss? ” Tia voiced out with a raised brows.
” You said the twins belonged to you? ” He said like he was confused.
” Oh, that.. we will talk later ” She said and then gestured for him to leave.
He hesitated for a while before walking out.
” The Ford’s are not allowed in any of my companies, alright? ” Lyra said sternly and Tia nodded.
” And ensure the twins don’t get in contact with their little boy ” She said and Tia nodded again.
** The Ford’s Mansion In Paris **
” I thought you said the kids belonged to Tia? ” Ella asked Henri.
” That was what she told me ” Henri replied.
” Great, she has kids already, seems she’ve gotten over you ” Ella said cockily.
” She sure is and she looks powerful and vicious now, exactly what I expected ” Bruce replied.
” But who’s her husband? Who does she have those kids for? ” Ella asked and Bruce turned to Henri with a raised brow.
” Well, I ran some personal research of her and she has no husband really ” He replied and they raised their brows.
” She has no husband? ” Ella asked confusedly and Henri nodded.
” So who does those kids belong too? ” Bruce asked.
” Well, I could have decided she probably had those kids by mistake for a man.. ” He trailed off and they nodded at how accurate that sounded.
” But.. ” He trailed off and they raised their brows the more.
” The kids are Four, A year older than Ryan ” He said.
” So? ”
” If she truly had them by mistake for a random man, they’re supposed to be three, almost clocking four, and they will be like some months older than Ryan but they are a year older which means one thing.. ” He trailed off and they raised their brows impatiently.
” They are either your kids or she cheated on you with someone while she was still here which we both know didn’t happen. ”
” I don’t understand ” Ella cut in at once.
” For her kids to be four, she was already pregnant before she left here ” He dropped the bombshell and the couple glanced at each other.
” Wait.. she.. those kids are for Bruce?? ” Ella asked with widened eyes.
” I think so, since you two.. that day, at the penthouse ” Henri muttered.
” That was only one time, it can’t turn into babies right? ”
” Only one way to find out, perform a DNA test on those kids ” He said.
Bruce glanced at Ella and she did the same.
** Two Days Later **
* Mr Dean’s Mansion * ( 8:00pm )
( His Birthday Party )
” Thanks so much for coming ” Mr Dean said with a little smile, revealing his dimples.
” It’s no problem ” Lyra replied with a chuckle as they both walked to her car with Tia and two of her guards behind her.
” Uhm.. do you mind if I ask where your wife and children are? I noticed I didn’t see them at the party ” Lyra asked.
” I don’t have any ” Mr Dean replied with a chuckle.
” Really? Why? ” Lyra asked interestedly.
” Same goes to you, why aren’t you married yet? ” He asked with a silent chuckle and Lyra looked away.
” Uhm.. could I get your number please? ” Mr Dean asked carefully as they got to Lyra’s car.
” Sure ” Lyra smiled lightly as he handed over his phone to her and she typed her number there.
” See you some other time Miss ” He said and then smiled as she entered her car.
” Same here Mr Dean ” She also smiled.
” Bryan! ” He corrected and once again she froze unconsciously.
” Are you okay? ” Bryan waved his hands lightly through the window and she startled out of her thoughts.
” Yeah I’m fine, bye ” She said and he smiled and then waved them a goodbye as Lyra’s car drove off.
Driving out of the gate, Lyra’s driver had to stop. ” What’s wrong? ” Lyra asked, she couldn’t see what happened at the front since it’s late.
” A car stopped right before ours ” He replied and Lyra’s guard alighted from the car to go see whom it is.
Tia did the same too and then Lyra.
Bruce and Ella together with Henri alighted from the car and walked over to them.
” Excuse me? Are you trailing me now? ” Lyra asked almost angrily.
” Here ” Bruce handed over a document to her.
” What’s this? ” Lyra asked uninterestedly even without taking a glance at it.
” Your pregnancy result 5 years ago before we divorced ” Bruce said with a straight face and Tia gasped silently while Lyra only stared on without giving any expression.
” So? ”
” That means those twins are my kids ” He replied.
” And what if they are? ” Lyra asked, still keeping that straight face.
” Good thing you confirmed it yourself but we will have to perform a DNA test to be sure ” Ella cuts in.
” I don’t think that’s necessary. The kids don’t have to be his if he doesn’t want. I’m okay with keeping them, we’re divorced already and you have no rights on them ” Lyra said.
” Cause you kept them away from me! ” Bruce snapped.
” So what? You want them? ”
” Well yeah, they’re mine ” Bruce said and Lyra chuckled dryly.
” You’re funny, seriously. But no probs, pick any hospital of your choice to perform a DNA test on them to prove that they’re not yours ” She said confidently making Henri raise his brows.
” What do you mean they’re not mine? Didn’t you just confirm the fact that they’re mine now? ”
” That was just a tease, the twins aren’t yours. They belong to someone else and it you really wanna confirm, pick any hospital of your choice and we shall meet and if you would excuse us, please get your car out of the way ” Lyra said and then walked away to her car.
Tia walked after her without passing Henri a glance and then Lyra’s guard followed them behind.
They got into the car and Lyra’s driver honk at them to get their car out of the way.
” What should we do? She seems confident that the twins aren’t really yours ” Henri asked.
” That might only be a scare away. Choose a standard hospital to conduct the test ” Bruce said and Henri nodded and the trio returned to their car and drove out of the way.
” Have you two had a conversation ever since their visit at my company? ” Lyra asked Tia as her driver drove them away.
” No, he didn’t call me after then like I thought he would. Seems he’s been busy making researches for Bruce that he doesn’t have time for us anymore ” Tia responded.
” He’s getting in my way ” Lyra muttered dryly and Tia turned to her with a raised brow.
” What does that mean? ”
” He definitely did those researches ”
” But he’s only doing his work ” Tia said and Lyra scoffed.
” Yeah, but his work is getting into my way ” Lyra said and then shut her eyes.
** Next Day **
* At A Hospital *
” Hey Twins! ” Ryan rushed to the twins on seeing them.
” Hi ” They only muttered dryly but Ryan couldn’t decipher their expression since he’s just a little kid.
He smiled anyways and walked beside them as they got to where his parents stood with a doctor beside them. Henri was also near them.
” Let’s get the test done then ” The Doctor said with a little smile and they all walked into the ward.
” You will be fine, okay? ” Tia patted the twins hair as the doctor was about taking their blood samples.
