Chapter 90_ Get rid of it!
Charlotte paced around the room with her phone placed against her ear..
She was obviously seething in rage with each step she took back and forth..
“Release the man Dennis! this has nothing to do with you!”
Dennis snorted at the other end and threw his phone to the cushion next to him, a lot were on his plate to care about an old man..
Charlotte yelled out in fury “you damned old b*stard!”

Lora’s face fell the moment she heard Bryan’s next words..Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Bryan! I still love you alright?! stop making me feel like thrash.. this is really our child”
Bryan’s face scrunched on hearing the words ‘our child’ from her mouth, he clenched his eyes tightly before snapping them open once more..
“Get rid of it!” he affirmed and walked away from her picking up the empty bottles and cans he consumed last night..
Lora’s face paled, she touched her flat belly shaking her head slowly..
“I can’t do it”
Bryan dumped the beer empty cans into the thrash can in his room before turning to her once more with an arched brow..
She moved closer to him and cupped his face in her palms..
“Please don’t say that.. in the past whenever I tell you that I’m pregnant you try your best to convince me not to terminate it.” she choked back as tears fell from her eyes freely.. “Why are you suddenly asking me to get rid of our baby?”
Bryan moved out of her hold like she was some kind of sickness he didn’t want to get infected with..
“That was in the past Lora! don’t act so special right now, you’ve lost that privilege the day you walked out of my life… as of now you’re just like every other girls I’ve dealt with..”
He pointed to the door when he couldn’t bear her presence anymore..
“Leave now!”
Her heart sank deeply at his cold words, this was totally unlike him, he stared at her like she was a piece of shit with no emotion in his eyes..
“Bryan.. are you casting me out of your life because of that little b*tch?!”
Bryan’s face darkened and in one swift motion he grabbed Lora’s chin with his hand almost crushing it..
“Didn’t I ask you to leave?!” he growled..
“I was right! this is about her! what spell has she casted on you?!”
A devilish grin crawled up on his face, his grip around her chin loosened up a bit..
“The spell that you couldn’t cast on me despite being beside me for four freaking years! i hope you do as I say!”

Charlotte smiled when the door opened, she had heard his car pulling in a while ago and had been patiently waiting for him to come in even though it took a while..
“Kyle you’re back”
Kyle swept a cold gaze over her, he pulled off his suit jacket and tugged at his tie impatiently..
“Get your things down to the guest room before I come out of the shower”
Charlotte was taken aback, she was about to ask a question when he suddenly walked past her..
“Kyle?..”
She touched her forehead in worry, what brought about the sudden cold attitude in him? did he find out anything about her?
“Oh Lord! I’m screwed!”
Meanwhile…
Arya laid flat on her bed staring at the ceiling in her room..
“I tried really hard Mia.. he’s just impossible to deal with!”
Mia walked over to the bed and took a seat next to Arya..
“Well you tried but you aren’t actually doing it right”
Arya got up swiftly and focused her gaze on Mia, what else did she miss? The doctor already warned never to stress Kyle so much or else he might have a mental breakdown..
She honestly didn’t want to see him in that awful and painful state anymore..
“Well? what have I not done?”
“You can’t tell him directly.. he sees us all as his enemies except for that bloodsucking Charlotte! so that makes it hard to believe.. we are left with no other choice than to recreate those memories he seemed to have forgotten”
Arya slapt her forehead softly with a sigh, how could she have forgotten?
“You are right Mia! but first we have to find a way to keep that leech away from him”
Mia stroked her chin in deep thought..
“I have an idea.. though it’s a bit silly, I guess it will do for now..”

Kyle walked out of the shower wiping his hair with a white towel, his brows furrowed when he spotted Charlotte still on the bed probably waiting for him..
“You’re still here”
Charlotte sprang up to her feet and crossed her arm beneath her bossom..
“Of course, this is my room too.. I wanted you to give me a solid reason why you want me out”
“Because we are not married Charlotte”
Charlotte gulped down nervously, cold sweat broke out on her forehead which she tried to mask by grinning from ear to ear..
“What? I can’t believe you’d actually say that.. of course we are married.. it’s just that we never had a grand wedding.. except a rushed one with only Vanessa as the witness”
Kyle threw the towel on the couch with a snort, doesn’t she realize how ridiculous she sounds?
“What do you mean? are you trying to say that I was very broke five years ago to get married to you in a grand way? none of these makes any sense to me!”
Charlotte cursed beneath her breath, she cursed her bad luck and everything she could blame right now..
Day by day Kyle was getting more suspicious of her..
“And by the way.. who is Arya Carter?”
Blood drained completely for her face, she wasn’t expecting his direct hit question again after his first blow to her face..
“Umm.. she.. used to be Ray’s nanny” Charlotte clarified trying to smile but her eyes gave her away..
“Really? a nanny? she runs a restaurant which I found out that I own just today.. she really didn’t seem like a nanny to me!…
His chest heaved up and down as she spoke sending shivers and jolts down her spine..
She could barely keep up with his constant attacks..
“Why do you keep lying to me? is there something you don’t want me to know? I have lots and lots of questions! firstly, Ray doesn’t address you as his mum and you claim that he’s our son! the little kid doesn’t even want to hear your name not to mention…
Charlotte took a deep breath cutting Kyle off his speech..
“I’d have happily answered all your questions Kyle.. but the doctor really pleaded with me not to let you get stressed out.. so I’ll move out if that’s what will really ease your worry”
Without waiting for his response, she walked out in a hurry.. she was doomed! screwed! any words again to describe her??
Phew!
If she has stayed any longer in there, she’d have died out of heart attack..

Arya collected the cup of coffee meant for Kyle from the maid and gave a small nod..
“I’ll give this to him..”
She took in a deep breath and walked to the direction of Kyle’s room.. after a few knocks she pushed the door open..
Her eyes fell on the man who was busy skimming through a file opened in front of him..
She placed the cup of coffee on the table next to him..
“Your coffee”
Kyle raised his head when he heard her voice “Why are you here?”
Arya shrugged nonchalantly “Nothing much.. just thought I owe you an apology.. about this morning and also last night”
Kyle scowled at her, he closed the file he was holding shut and stood up to his feet overshadowing her with his height..
“I heard from Chad that you’re my wife.. right?”
Arya’s eyes widened, oh crap! what was he trying to say? she shook her head in denial to his words..
“I guess you heard wrong..”
One of his arm suddenly pulled her waist closer to him.. a soft gasp escaped her lips as his hot breath fanned the side of her face..
“There’s really no need to use those lenses again.. I already know that you’re here on a mission”
Arya’s lips curled upwards, her hands went around his neck pulling him down to her teasingly..
Even though he was a little bit shocked by her boldness, he didn’t let it show on his face…
“On a secret mission to get your heart..”
Kyle pulled off her glasses and tossed it aside, he peered intently into her eyes and was lost staring into it, his heart pounded wildly against his ribcage….
A different wave of emotion flashed past his eyes as his face inched closer to hers.
Arya was rendered motionless by their closeness, their skins were brushing occasionally.. her eyes involuntarily closed when she felt his lips on hers..
A low groan escaped the back of his throat when her warm and inviting lips moved against his slowly..
He placed his hand at the back of her nape delving deeper into her mouth..
Arya suddenly snapped her eyes open, this wasn’t a dream but reality, she suddenly pulled away from him..
‘You’re such a fool Arya! have you no shame?!’ she scolded herself mentally..
“I’m really sorry.. that wasn’t intentional.. I wasn’t thinking straight..”
Without waiting for him to speak, she bolted out through the door..
