Chapter 35_ Look away!!
Arya’s eyes widened “Arghh!”
“Look away!!” Kyle yelled out and picked up his towel..
Before he could say anything anymore, she bolted out of the room panting heavily..
“Shameless!”
.

Mia closed the door behind her and turned to Ray with a pout..
“It didn’t go really well yesterday right?”
Ray sighed and pulled Conny into his arms “It was going pretty well until uncle Martin showed up”
Mia’s lips pursed, this was entirely her fault, if she hadn’t called Martin and asked for help perhaps Kyle and Arya would have gotten a bit closer to each other..
“Arya thinks daddy is a bad guy now” Ray added with a down cast look..
Mia folded her arm “I think I have a plan Ray”
“Really? tell me”..

Vivian sat up when she heard a knock on the door, she frowned in disgust and dropped her bowl of popcorn next to her..
“Mum! won’t you get it?!” she yelled out and was even more upset when she didn’t get a response from her mum..
She grudgingly walked to the door and opened it, a small frown settled on her forehead as two ladies walked into the mini living room..
Vivian closed the door behind her and tailed behind the two obviously rich ladies who were snooping around..
“Hold on a sec! who are you guys? I’m very sure you know how rude it is to walk into a person’s home without a self introduction!” Vivian said and stood in front of them..
looking at their classy outfits and latest collection of purse she could tell that they were wealthy..
Vanessa pulled off her sunglasses, “Well miss blabbermouth! don’t you know how rude it is to keep your guests standing?”
“Jeez girl! we just walked into a rabbit hole.. I can barely breathe” Lora added with a sinister smile..
Vivian was agitated, they might be rich but that doesn’t mean they can mock her..
“Who the f*ck are you?!” Vivian yelled..
Vanessa looked down at the sofa in disgust, she ran a finger on it and wiped it thoroughly with the hand towel Lora passed to her..
She took a seat and lifted one of her legs over the other..
Vivian squinted her eyes at Vanessa who looked a bit familiar to her..
“Do I know you?” Vivian asked..
“Well I guess everyone does.. I’m Vanessa nice to meet you miss Carter”
Vivian frowned, wait! that name sounded a bit familiar..
“Vanessa? as in the popular tv actress and model who was recently shooed away from the entertainment industry” Vivian said with a mocking smile..
“Will you shut the f*ck up?! lora get this piece of sh*t to keep quiet!”
Vivian tilted her head to the side “You should watch your tongue lady! you can’t come into my home to insult me..”
Lora stood up to address the issue before it went out of hands..
“Relax guys.. this isn’t why we came here.. actually we…
Vivian raised her hand a little “Listen miss I don’t care why you’re here.. I was in the middle of a soap opera before you came in”
Vanessa stood up to her feet “I told you this was a waste of time! I’m leaving”
Vanessa was about to leave but Lora held her back..
“Listen we came here to speak to you about Arya and Mr Anderson, we know how much you despise your sister and we also do”
Vivian narrowed her gaze at them, what could they possibly know about the Carter’s family?
“What do you want?”
Lora gave a nod to Vanessa “We need to get Arya out of the picture”

Arya gasped when she opened the file she was given by Sam yesterday..
She sprang up to her feet “How is this possible?”
She paced around the living room, her restaurant will be demolished in a month’s time..
How was she going to deal with this issue on hand? and at the same time arrange for fifty million by the end of today?
Her phone rang out, she frowned upon seeing the caller..
“Hi Martin.. wait! like right now?”
Half an hour later, Arya arrived at the venue Martin picked for their brief meeting..
She sat on one of the benches in the park rubbing her thighs gently..
“Arya”
Arya raised her head up and forced a small smile.. “You’re here”
Martin scanned the surroundings and by the look of things she came here all alone..
“I’m sorry I had to request for your presence urgently..”
Arya nodded “So what?”
Martin’s eyes fell on the brown colored file poking out of her purse.. he guessed she must have seen its content..
“Well I received a letter yesterday from the higher authorities in the company about a new piece of land that has been bought for a new branch”
Arya’s brows furrowed, a new piece of land? so? how is this her concern?
“Wow great achievement for the Anderson’s”
Martin’s face remained expressionless “Arya, it’s your restaurant, Arya’s delight”
Arya’s face paled, she stood up hurriedly “What? how can you do this to me Martin?”
Martin stood up and touched her shoulder “This isn’t my doing.. I’d never do this to you.. I’m a fan of Arya’s delight remember?”
Arya looked up to him “Then who’s responsible for it? tell me”
Martin sighed “Kyle”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Arya gave him a skeptical look, but why would Kyle do that?
She picked up her purse and hurried out
“Arya wait!” Martin called back but it fell on deaf ears..
.
.
Kyle was on a call when Arya bardged into the room with an annoyed expression..
He turned his back on her when he recalled what transpired a few hours ago…
“Okay get on it.. I’m expecting a good feedback”
Arya tapped her feet patiently and when he was done with the phone call she stood before him and stretched the envelope to him..
“What is the meaning of this Kyle?”
Kyle raised a brow, his eyes settled on the brown file for a while before he collected it..
He opened it and went through it for a while, he closed it and threw it down on the table next to his laptop..
“Where did you find that?” he replied in a bored tone..
Arya stared at him in unbelief, he didn’t deny it which meant that it was true..
“So it’s true.. you bought my restaurant..”
Kyle cleared his throat and took a seat before his laptop..
“It’s not a big deal”
“Not a big deal?! Arya’s delight is a result of my hard work and sweat and you think it’s not a big deal for it to be demolished?”
Kyle’s gaze rested on the file again for a brief second he could feel that something wasn’t right here..
“You left the house in such a hurry.. where were you?”
“Where I was is not your concern! I have every right to move about freely! you just showed how heartless you can be Mr Kyle Anderson”
Kyle massaged his temples, he picked up his phone and raised it to his ear..
“Send me a copy of the document sent to Arya’s delight restaurant five months ago it’s urgent”.
Kyle placed his phone back down and resumed whatever he was doing on his laptop..
“The land where your restaurant was built is owned by me do you have anymore to say?”
Arya’s lips dropped in shock, now this all makes sense.. this was the reason Cole never provided the necessary documents when he purchased it..
“Cole sold it to you didn’t he?!”
“Smart! now that’s not my fault is it? your Ex fiance did that to you not me..” Kyle retorted..

Dennis raised his glass and clicked it with Martin’s glass..
“Why are we drinking wine?” Dennis asked while he stared at his wife..
Martin chuckled “It worked! Kyle’s wife Arya is so mad that she can do anything to Kyle if she gets the chance”
Dennis smiled in unbelief, if that really worked then that means Kyle’s wife was a total bimbo..
“Really? so what’s next?” Rita asked in glee…
Martin stroked his jaw tenderly “Kyle’s signature on this document”
He waved a blue file in front of them “You’ll be cleared of the theft you committed in his project and you’ll promise not to get involved in these cheap acts!”
Dennis swallowed when he heard the last part, if he didn’t embezzle funds from the company.. how would he survive?
A man in black suit came into the room and bowed before them..
“The old master is here” he announced and left..
“What theft?”
The trio gulped down hard when he suddenly appeared..
