Chapter 38_ Color Red
Kyle who was seated opposite the bed while working on his laptop raised his head to get a glimpse of Arya who was still in a deep slumber.
He answered his phone call while his gaze remained fixated on her.
“Hmm good news.. inform them that we will sign the contract today”
He placed his phone down on the sofa and walked to the bed.
He took a glance at his wrist watch and snapped his gaze back to her with a frown.
She wasn’t up yet which clearly meant that the cooks will be the ones to make breakfast today and also Ray will definitely be late for school today.
“Arya” he called out.
Arya stirred and grabbed the pillow next to her and snuggled it close to her chest.
A deep frown settled on his forehead, that was his favorite pillow and no one was allowed to touch it especially not her.
He leaned down and pulled the pillow but her grip on it was stronger.
“Let go! I know you’re wide awake”
Kyle pulled the pillow once more and this time her grip was even more stronger.
His nostrils flared up in anger as a result of her stubbornness, however, he applied a bit more force and he succeeded in taking the pillow out of her grip.
Arya’s eyelids fluttered open when she felt some little movements around her..
Her eyes grew large when she saw Kyle hovering over her, she had expected to see Ray and not this full grown man.
“Arrghhh!!!”
Kyle placed a palm over her mouth to stop her from screaming.
“Be quiet!”
Arya panted heavily and rolled over to the other edge of the bed..
She kneeled on the soft mattress and pointed her index finger at him..
“You were trying to kill me with that pillow! how could you?”
Kyle stared down at the pillow on his hand and back to her.
“You wish” he murmured in a bored tone and threw down the pillow next to her.
Arya touched her neck to check for discomfort of any sort.
“I don’t trust you one bit!”
Kyle shrugged and returned back to the sofa “Tell that to the clock”
Arya’s brows creased in confusion, what does he mean by that?
It suddenly dawned on her, she snapped her gaze to the clock and almost immediately she jumped out of the bed.
“It’s forty minutes past seven..”
Kyle frowned upon seeing her running around the room, she finally walked to the closet in a hurry throwing every dress she caught hold of behind her in search for an appropriate outfit..
“Come on! give me something! anything!”
Kyle snorted and raised his mug of black coffee to have a drink unfortunately for him a piece of clothing landed on his coffee mug..
His face turned sour when he picked it up with a tip of his finger to reveal a red bra..
He placed the coffee mug harshly on the table before him which caused a little noise..
Arya smiled when she finally picked out a nice green gown..
“Great!” she remarked and turned back going to the bed when her gaze landed on Kyle who held a red bra with the tip of his fingers..
At the same time Kyle’s eyes met her’s..
‘Oh no’ she screamed inwardly..
Arya’s face turned red in embarrassment, she dashed to him and snatched her red bra from him..
“Pervert!” She lashed out and vanished into the bathroom before she dies of embarrassment..
.

Arya pushed the door to Ray’s room open, a small smile was on her lips as she approached his bed.
“Sleepy sleepy little Ray” she whispered into his ear..
She walked towards the blue curtains and opened it to illuminate the room.
He simply turned his back towards her to get more sleep..
Arya inhaled deeply before she started her little sweet tortures on him..
She tickled him by his sides and almost immediately he broke out into loud laughter..
“Arya stoooopppp!.. you’re making… me..
“Will you get up?” She asked..
Ray choked out the word ‘yes’ from his mouth before he dies of laughter..
Arya stopped her torture on him and he sat up “We have twenty minutes to get you ready for school”
Ray pouted “Can I skip school today? I’m not feeling too good”
“Oh no you don’t! I’m not falling for that little trick or yours anymore” Arya sheepishly stated and lifted him off his bed..
“To the bath tub!” Ray ordered which earned a chuckle from Arya..

Vivian yawned and lazily walked to her banging door..
She pulled it open to see her mum “What is it mum? it’s so early”
Joyce folded her arm and narrowed her eyes down at Vivian..
“Why are you staring at me that way?”
“What did you do?” Joyce asked in a haste.
Vivian who was just about to yawn was caught in between when she heard her mum’s question..
“What do you mean by that mum? I’m just getting off the bed how can I possibly do anything?”
“Some men are downstairs waiting for you”
The left over sleep vanished completely from Vivian’s eyes..
Some men? what men? could it be the men she assigned to watch over her dad?
“Oh.. I’ll be there soon”
Few minutes later she appeared downstairs and to her surprise the said men already gagged her mum and a gun was pointed to her head..
Vivian’s eyes almost popped out of its sockets “Mum! what are you all doing? let her go!”
She failed miserably to recognize them, they didn’t look like henchmen rather they looked more polished than henchmen.. perhaps they were bodyguards.
“We will ask you only one question Miss Carter and you must answer it otherwise.. her brains will be blown out!”
Vivian felt the bile rising in her throat, who could they possibly be? and what do they want from her?.
“Where is he?” The head guards voice came out rather harsh.
Vivian’s lips quivered in fright “W.. w.. who?” she stuttered darting her eyes around the room..
Joyce was smacked on the head with the gun causing fresh blood to flow down her face, she groaned out..
“Mum!”
“Where is Mr Carter?! this is your last chance to speak!” The guard fired harshly and snatched the gun from the guard holding Joyce in place.
Vivian’s lips parted, she saw her mum’s pleading gaze and was mad..
“Speak or she dies” he corked the gun and pointed it to Joyce’s forehead..
“No wait! he’s at the old Carter’s house please let my mum go!”
The guard smirked and smacked the gun on Vivian’s head..
Vivian groaned and dropped to the ground with a thud.
“Take them both to the van”

Kyle dropped his cutlery “Good wait for my orders”
Arya snapped her gaze to him “Is everything okay?”
Kyle raised a brow “Not at all I can’t stop seeing the color red whenever I try to drink a glass of water”
Arya’s cheeks reddened in embarrassment, why was he so shameless?
Arya cleared her throat and wiped the smudges off Ray’s lips..
“Okay Ray I think it’s time to go”
Ray hopped down from the chair “I’m so full Arya can’t I stay back?”
Arya lifted his chin up with a finger “No Ray, I’ve told you already I won’t fall for your little cute lies”
Ray pouted and walked slowly away from her “Dad aren’t you ready yet?”
Kyle hummed in reply and motioned for the guard standing at a distance..
“See to it that Ray gets to school safe and sound..”
The guard bowed “Noted boss”
“Aren’t you dropping me off daddy?” Ray asked with a pout.
Kyle shook his head slowly “Arya and I have something urgent to do”
“I don’t mind dropping him off..” Arya imputed only to receive a glare from Kyle..
“Go on now Ray.. it’s pretty late” Kyle murmured and glanced briefly at his wrist watch..
Ray bade them goodbye and hurried out with the guard assigned to him..
“I could have dropped him off on my way to the restaurant”
Kyle moved his seat backwards and stood up, he overshadowed her with his height that she took a step backward without realizing it.
“I want to show you something” Kyle murmured which earned him a suspicious look from Arya..
“What is it?” she inquired
“Come with me” Kyle muttered and made his way out of the dining room.
Arya blinked back severally, did she just hear him right?
However she was taken out of her trance when she heard his voice from a distance..
“Snap out of it dummy!”
Arya gasped and tailed behind him..Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
