Chapter 92
Lyra frowns as she walked back to sit again
“Bryan came here?” Ella nodded
“Yes, he did. He did say I shouldn’t let you know. When was that? Five days ago. He even visited before you or Bruce did”
“He did?” Lyra found herself asking again.
“But Bryan told me he didn’t know you were jailed”
“Bryan told you a lot of lies Lyra. I don’t know how you allow one man to fool you twice”
Lyra didn’t know where Ella was driving but she found her eyes watered. She tried not to cry out loud though
“It’s not time to cry just yet, Lyra. I have a lot to tell you that Bryan hasn’t or should I say wouldn’t tell you”
“Firstly, you would have to ask yourself what does Bryan want from me? Does he love me like he claims he did?”
Ella looked up at Lyra whose hands had formed into a fist.
“Well, no” she replied to her question
“Bryan doesn’t love you, sist. He is using you just as I had used Bruce. He has a reason too just like I had a reason to use Bruce. Would you like to know?”
Lyra didn’t reply to her but she continued anyway
“I sent Bryan. I want him to ruin your filthy life”
She burst into laughter when she saw Lyra’s eyes widened
“You are a big liar! You bit. ch! You damn bit. ch!” Lyra screamed as she attacked Ella but the security men came in time and held her.
Ella was laughing so hard as she clenched her stomach
“What? I thought you came prepared?” The laughter continued while Lyra’s scream only grew louder.
“You are only jealous that I am going to have a perfect life while you rot here in jail! You swine”
“Ouch! Lyra, careful. You’re hurting my feelings” Ella chuckled before saying to the security men
“Thank you very much. You can leave her now”
They left Lyra who went back to her seat. Her face was stained with tears but she didn’t care, she didn’t bother to clean them either
“Bryan came here to see how I was doing and to remind me not to tell you anything so you should be glad I’m doing you a favor by wanting to tell you” she paused, then continued again with a faraway look.
“I’m not just doing it in your favor but that bastard felt he was smart. He felt he could double-cross me! He wants to shut me up!” She said through gritted teeth
“Your dear husband-to-be assigned someone to poison my food here at this prison. He asked him to do that so I won’t expose him. What he doesn’t know is that I am a woman. We always have to trade to get what we want and it is not far-fetched, it’s just a few distances away from our navel” she chuckled. But paused again
“Your dear Bryan has been working with me since he knew Bruce. To tell you the truth, I gave them the idea of making you fall in love with Bryan which worked perfectly well. Although Bruce doesn’t know that I am working with Bryan, I didn’t tell him that”
“Bryan is a foolish man. He does anything for money. The man you are going to marry next Tuesday had slept with me for money too”
“Liar!” Lyra screamed but Ella shushed her
“Oh shut up, Lyra. Don’t be a fool. Look clearly, can’t you see that the man is only using you? I wouldn’t have said a word and let you marry him so he could slowly take away your wealth but he made a huge mistake by trying to kill me” she looked at Lyra
“I’m sure he doesn’t know that you are here talking to me right now. You should call him and tell him. Let’s see how he would react. But wait! Before you call him, let me finish my words so he wouldn’t teleport down here when I’m not done exposing him”
“Bryan helped me get rid of you while I paid him for his services. Hmm, I’m sure he doesn’t act like a father to your twins right? Well, that’s because he isn’t the father” Ella dropped the bomb causing Lyra’s eyes to widen in shock
“What?!”
“It is what it is, my dear sister. Bryan isn’t the father of your child. If you are asking me who it is, I would say I do not know since I am not the mother. You should know yourself, how many men did you sleep with around that time before you got pregnant?” Ella asked but Lyra didn’t reply to her. She stared blankly at the table in front of her.
“Lyra, don’t be lost just yet. Come back. Who is the father of the twins? When I look at the boy, I can’t help but see Bruce’s face in him. Don’t you think so?”
Lyra’s heart began to beat faster, sweat drops appeared on her forehead as she tried to think straight. Ella’s words had frozen her on the spot that she wanted to puke
“Lyra. Lyra! Are you okay? I thought you said you could handle it?” Ella asked taunting her
“Well, let me finish. Now, the next question is how do I know that Bryan isn’t the father to those kids? I’ll answer that if you answer my question”
Lyra looked up into her eyes as Ella asked
“Did you remember the night you spent with a stranger? Did you remember the details of everything? Did you remember ever kissing, smooching, or having sex with someone?”
Lyra couldn’t reply to her as she began thinking deeply
“Ah, Lyra, don’t think too much. No matter how you think about it. It’s useless. Can’t you see that that never happened?”
Confusion swept through Lyra’s face as she stammered
“But… but… Bryan… Bryan said…”
“But Bryan said he was the one that night. That’s what you’re going to say right?” Ella asked with a smirk
“My dear favorite sister, Bryan, wasn’t the one. In fact, there was never a day that happened. We just have to make you believe that something like that happened. You were hypnotized!”
