Chapter 48
” No.. no that’s not… That’s.. Bruce, he.. ”
” I was the one behind the chattings and the calls, Bruce.. forced me into it, I swear to God. It was about the falling of my company, we had signed a contract and I breached it and he was going to charge me to court and trust me I stood no chance against him and the only way he wouldn’t charge me to court was if I could help him.. trick.. ” He inhaled softly, shooking his head as he felt bad and hurt saying those words.
” I swear Lyra, I loved you. It was real, I know it wasn’t supposed.. I know it was just supposed to be me doing a work with Bruce and I wasn’t supposed to catch feelings but I did.. I did cause you were pretty, your sweet voice, your.. ”
” Stop! ” Lyra shouted at once.
” No.. no you’re not going to break me or have me cry like you did then! You’re a monster Bryan! I trusted you! I loved you and stupid me didn’t know I was getting played all those while! Bryan.. I gave it all to you! My heart and you played me! You ruined me if you don’t know Bryan! You did! And I hate you so fvcking much and never show your face before me or I will kill you! I mean every word Bryan! I do! ” She shouted and stormed out before he could get her.
” Shit! ” Bryan cursed silently and angrily at himself.
He ruffled his hair in frustration. ” I’m sorry. I did love you and I still do ” He muttered guiltily.
** Lyra’s Mansion **
” Momm.. ” Lyra ignored her twins running up to her and stormed away, up the stairs.
” What’s wrong? ” The twins asked Tia who had a confused look on as she stood up slowly from her seat and watched as Lyra stormed away to her room.
” I will go find out. You two don’t be mad at your mom okay? ” She said and the twins nodded slowly.
” Oh God, what’s with her again? ” Tia muttered and then hurried after her Immediately.
” What happened at the date? ” Tia asked at once as she pushed the door open to meet Lyra sitting on the bed with her head bent and her hand ruffling her hair.
” Lyra.. ” Tia was shocked to see her in tears.
” What happened? ” Tia hurried over to her immediately.
” It’s him.. he’s Bryan ” Lyra muttered in tears.
” He?.. oh my! ” Tia gasped lightly.
” Oh my! I’m so sorry ” Tia pulled Lyra into her arms.
” I hate him so much! How dare he come back to me after what he did to me! I hate him! How dare he show his face to me! ” She lamented bitterly while Tia snuggled her more closer in her arms.
” It’s fine.. you will be fine ” She comforted.
” What did he say? ” Tia asked softly, patting her back gently.
” He said he still loves me and he was apologizing.. ” Lyra hiccuped lightly ” It’s fine. Don’t say anymore words ” Tia said gently.
” Do you still love him? ” Tia asked after some seconds.
” No I don’t! I hate him! ” Lyra snapped.
** Two Days Later **
” You’re not going to pick up your calls? ” Tia asked for the umpteenth time. Lyra gave no reply.
” He seem to be really sorry, you sure you don’t wanna hear him out? ” She asked further.
” Come on, you should give him a chance and who knows, you two could work out together. You can’t be single forever, the kids wants a dad ” Tia said but she gave no reply again.
Lyra’s phone beeped and Tia took it for her.
” Come on, look at this. He’s literally pouring out his heart through texts but you still won’t hear him out? ”
” He says he still loves you and is pleading for a second chance! Come on, he was forced to.. ”
” Leave! Leave my room now! ” Lyra cut her off, leaving her mouth hanged open.
” Excuse me? You’re chasing me out of your room? ” Tia asked unbelievably.
” You know I didn’t really.. ” Tia cut her off by walking out of her room.
She sighed softly and then took her phone to check the numerous texts Bryan had sent her in times past.
* I love you, I really do. I missed you so much and the only reason why I never tried to text you when you left Bruce was because I was scared. I was scared you would hate me, I swear that was it and I needed to prove to you that I could be the right man for you by having a big company like I always told you, I didn’t want to be a wretched man with nothing and all those years, I have been working my ass out specially cause of you. I don’t care if you have children for him, I will take care of them as mine. Please give me a chance and I’m really sorry, I’m really sorry for hurting you in the past, for playing you, I never meant to do that but I swear everything I ever told you back then, my feelings for you were true. I never really lied to you. I love you Lyra, please give me a chance *
She was in tears by the time she read them finish. She fell to the bed immediately and covered herself with the duvet as she cried silently.
” Mom ” She felt her beautiful creatures climbing up the bed to her.
” Mom, are you okay? ” They asked in their little tiny voice.
She removed the duvet away and sat up properly. ” I love you two ” She hugged them tightly to herself.
” We love you more ” They chorused at the same time, hugging her the more.

” Um.. I.. I’m sorry ” Lyra said as she sat on Tia’s bed while she (Tia) worked on her laptop.
” Alright ” She replied simply.
” You’re still mad at me, aren’t you? ” Lyra asked.
” Well I won’t be if you’ve decided to meet with Bryan and settle things with him.
” I will ” Lyra said and Tia raised her head at once in suprise.
” Really? ” She asked and Lyra nodded.
” Awwn. Thanks, so you informed him already? ” She asked and Lyra nodded again.
” Yeah, I’m meeting him right now, bye ” She said and then walked out of Tia’s room.
