Chapter 34_ His anger
Arya’s brows knotted, what could have happened to Kyle..
Without hesitating any longer she dashed off the terrace and made her way back into the building..
Arya’s heart pounded against her ribcage as she opened the door..
Her jaw dropped in shock as she stared at the torn apart room..
‘Did this really happen in the span of twenty minutes that she was away?’
Her gaze fell on Kyle who was seated with his head bowed and fresh blood drip out of his hands..
“Mr Anderson you’re bleeding!” she screamed in horror and ran to him..
She reached out her hand to touch his but was startled when his deep voice broke out..
“Don’t!”
Arya stood up to her feet and tried to recall where she had seen the first aid kit..
She turned to the drawers next to Kyle and started going through it..
She pulled open the last drawer and was relieved when she saw the blue kit with a red cross sign on it..
Arya placed the kit next to him and got hold of his hand..
“I said don’t touch me!” he barked out at her and pulled his hand out of her’s..
Arya grabbed his hand once more and raised her head to meet his intense gaze..
“I can’t let you bleed to death.. so do yourself a favor and let me help you.. at least do it for Ray’s sake”
Arya felt his hands relaxed a bit, as soon as his hands relaxed completely she began dressing the cuts on his knuckles which was probably caused by punching a glass or something..
Speaking of glasses, she took a brief glance at the mirror only to see it shattered and also stained with blood..
“Just because you are wealthy doesn’t mean you can go about destroying things…”
Kyle remained motionless, his head was bowed while his eyes shut..
It happens his seizures has occured again, he remembered when these all started..
He let out a low groan when she dabbed a disinfectant over the cuts..
“So sorry.. I’ll go easy” She murmured and lowered her head to his hand blowing air on it..
Kyle suddenly retracted his hand and stood up, he walked into the bathroom and closed the door shut..
Arya had a confused look on her face, what could be wrong with him?
She made an attempt to stand up to her feet when she spotted the broken frame of a photo..
She picked it up and examined it closely “She must be Charlotte, Ray’s mum”
Arya snapped her gaze to the drawing of the lady present in the room..
“They are the same person”

Bryan came out of the bathroom with only a white neat towel around his waist..
His eyes widened when he saw the chair where he tied Chloe empty..
He hurried to the chair examining it closely and before he could tell a kick landed on his head..
Bryan staggered forward and regained his posture after a while.. he held the back of his head and turned swiftly to the attacker..
“You!..
Chloe arched a brow and pushed him down on the chair..
“What do you think? that you would be able to keep me captive for so long?”
Bryan was perplexed, he made an attempt to stand up and to his surprise Chloe raised her foot to his chest..
“Say something Mr Almighty!”
Bryan’s face was adorned with a small smile, his hand slowly caressed her foot placed on his chest..
“How couldn’t I see this earlier?”
Chloe pulled her leg away from his chest “you are shameless! and guess what I’ll tell everyone I know how disgusting you truly are!”
Chloe yelled out and turned around to leave, when Bryan pulled her back and she sat on his laps..
A gasp escaped her lips, Bryan leaned to her ear and whispered slowly..
“I told you I won’t let you go until I find a replacement for Lora or perhaps you want to be the replacement”
Chloe raised her elbow and striked him in his chest, she scurried to her feet..
“In your dreams!” After saying that she bolted out of the door without turning back..
Bryan placed a hand on his chest and coughed out..
“I’ll kill you when next I see you!”

“Arya”
Arya sat up when she heard her name, she turned back and was finally relieved to see Mia..
“Mia, thank goodness you’re here.. umm.. I have no idea what is wrong with Kyle.. but he has been behaving strangely since last night”
Mia’s face fell on hearing the news, she touched Arya’s shoulder in worry..
“What is wrong with him? and where is he?”
“Last night he destroyed quite a lot in his room and hurt himself..”
Mia closed her eyes with a sigh, she thought Kyle seizures had stopped completely..
“It’s okay.. he’ll be fine in a few hours.. just let him be”
Arya was taken aback, he looked really mad when she tried to call him down for breakfast and last night after he went into the bathroom..
He never came out until this morning, shouldn’t they be worried?..
“How can you say that mia? he could hurt himself really bad in there”
“There’s nothing both you and I can do about it Arya.. I’m quite familiar with it already and lastly this is related to Charlotte’s disappearance”
Arya’s jaw clenched, Charlotte again? she is gone but her absence keeps on tormenting Kyle over and over again..
“Kyle’s problems are all related to her isn’t it?”
Mia gave a small nod, she was about to speak when she spotted Ray a few metres away from them..
“What is wrong with daddy Arya?”
Arya diverted her gaze to him, she forced a smile and walked to him..
She bent over and planted a kiss on his head “You’re up already? it’s the weekend you can still get a little more rest”
“Where’s daddy? I want to see him”
Arya looked towards Mia for help, Mia smiled and walked towards Ray..
“Your dad is doing well Ray.. Arya why don’t you go get Kyle down.. I’ll keep Ray company”
Ray pouted and hugged Arya “Daddy is behaving strangely again isn’t he? he’ll only listen to you Arya, go talk to him”
Arya and Mia exchanged looks, well it seems Ray was too smart to be outsmarted..
“Hmm.. come on Ray.. Arya needs to go”
Ray nodded and pulled away from Arya.. Mia quickly pulled him away with her..
Arya stood in front of Kyle’s room, she took in a deep breath and released after a while..
“You can do this”
She pushed the door open and walked into the quiet room..
The room was all tidied up already, she guessed the servants must have cleaned it earlier..
She scanned the room for Kyle but she couldn’t spot him anywhere..
The bathroom door slowly opened behind her and her heart leaped out of her chest..
Different negative thoughts ran through her mind at that moment..
Kyle stared down at her legs shaking nervously, he had a small frown on his face..
“What are you doing?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
When he heard no response he reached his hand to touch her shoulder and just then she turned to him..
Arya froze up when his almost bare body came in view..
He had nothing on him except a loosely hung towel around his waist..
Her eyes trailed the water droplets that dropped slowly from his hair down to his broad chest..
She unconsciously gulped down, her eyes settled on his toned muscles and abs..
Arya’s mind was already clouded with different thoughts.. one of them was how to touch his abs..
Kyle arched a brow, a small smirk appeared on his lips..
He took a step forward to her and crossed his arm over his chest but to his astonishment she was really lost in her thought..
Kyle cleared his throat and brought her out of her trance..
Arya noticed the closeness and attempted to take a step backwards but was startled when his arm snaked around her waist and pulled her forward..
“You!… what are you doing?” Arya panicked..
“I see you were lost staring at my awesome body”
Arya had a confused look on her face.. was it her head or was Kyle back to his normal self..
“Are you alright?” Arya inquired..
“I should be asking you that! are you alright? I saw the way you were ogling at me a while ago”
Arya pulled his arm off her and scoffed “Me? no way! I’m just so surprised on how skinny you look”
Kyle took a step forward to retort and unfortunately his towel dropped..
