Chapter 23_ I want you both together… 1
Arya smiled when she felt the soft little body that snuggled close to her on her bed..
“Did you sneak into my room in the middle of the night?” Arya murmured in her sleep..
Ray nodded his head and snuggled closer to her..
Meanwhile downstairs…
A soft click on the marbled floor was heard as a lady stepped in, immediately she spotted the person she came here to see, she fell at his feet..
Kyle looked down at her and placed his mug of coffee on the table..
“What are you doing here? haven’t I warned you to stay off my property?!”
Vanessa sniffed back and raised her head to take a look at his face.
Her eyes were swollen from crying all day, ever since Kyle cut her off from the entertainment industry, she has faced many backlash and setbacks..
“Please Kyle don’t make me suffer anymore, I made a mistake and I have accepted it already.. for the sake of our friendship.. please end this torture”
Kyle opened the business newspaper he was reading earlier.
“Leave when you’re done, you’re ruining my shoes with those tears of yours!”
Vanessa sniffed back and held his legs refusing to let go..
“Please don’t be this harsh on me.. I’ve learned from my mistake and I promise I won’t try to act so stupid again” She sobbed more.
A maid appeared before them and bowed her head, Vanessa bowed her head down in shame, she didn’t want the servants to see her pitiful state..
“Boss.. Ray is gone”
Kyle snapped his head to the maid in charge of Ray’s welfare.
“What do you mean by he’s gone? I’m sure he must be up in his room”
The maid shivered under his interrogative gaze, she gulped down and forced her mouth to speak..
“He didn’t pass the night in his room boss…
Kyle took a sip out of his black coffee and nodded his head, there was only one place left..
“Check Arya’s room I’m sure he must be there”
At the mention of Arya’s name, Vanessa’s face darkened, that lady was the reason for her present state..
Who knew that Kyle would take such a petty cook like her so seriously.
“Boss he isn’t there too” Came the maids reply
Kyle’s expression darkened, it took him a little control to stop himself from spilling the hot coffee on the maid..
“Well! go find him! he must be somewhere around the building” He barked at her..
Vanessa smirked, that little kid might be a pain in the butt, but he is the only way she could get into Kyle’s good books again..
From what she has observed so far from Kyle, he takes anyone who cares about his son seriously and that was just what she needed to do..
Even though, Ray hates her to the moon and back, she sneered, it’s not like she has any love for him either..

Arya opened her eyes slowly when the golden morning rays fell on her face.. a grin adorned her lips as she sat up..
She stretched and yawned at the same time, she pulled the other part of the duvet up to wake the sleeping prince but she found the space empty..
“Got.. cha….
Her voice trailed off when she found it empty, she was sure that he was here a moment ago..
She came down from the bed and wore her pink fluffy slippers..
Arya stopped in front of the mirror and combed her messy hair with her fingers..Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She then proceeded to step out of her room..
“Ray” She called out..
And at the same time she saw Kyle approaching in hurried footsteps calling out to Ray..
Arya fastened her pace and caught up with him mid way..
“Have you seen Ray?” They both asked at the same time..
Arya and Kyle creased their brows “No! I thought he was with you” They answered together..
“Quit doing that!” Kyle said in an irritated tone..
Arya rolled her eyes “I thought he was with me a while ago.. I felt him beside me few minutes back or maybe it was just a dream” She murmured and touched her head..
“Did you say something that might have upset him?” Vanessa’s pretensious worried tone came..
Arya was surprised to see her here, she rested her gaze on Kyle hoping he’d give her an explanation, he should know better what Vanessa was like and what she did to allow her back into the house..
“She is..
“Leave her for now.. my son’s well being is more important to me” Kyle said brushing her off..
This earned a smirk from Vanessa who was standing behind Kyle..
Arya pulled her gaze elsewhere, something about this Vanessa irks her so much..
“It’s okay Kyle.. if she’s not ready to forgive me I’ll accept it as my punishment but for now let’s look for my poor little boy..”
She sniffed back her tears..
“Even though he hates me so much.. I still love him with every cell in my body.. and I’ll do whatever it takes to find him”
Arya scoffed “Well go then! Ray isn’t lost he’s only hiding, I know this because he’s my…
She paused her sentence midway and turned around..
“I’ll go first” She murmured and walked out of the hallway..
“Kyle I…
Kyle tailed behind Arya and left Vanessa’s words hanging..
“It’s just a matter of time Kyle before I free you from this low class woman!”

Vivian came down from a cab with her mother, they stood in front of an old bungalow which was at the verge of falling apart..
Some parts of the roof had holes on them while the painting was gradually fading away from white to green..
Due to the grass that has started growing around the surrounding..
“This building could collapse any moment Vivian, I think we should move him to somewhere else, we still need him”
Vivian pulled out a cigarette from the pocket of her pants and lit it up with a lighter..
“Vivian! that’s cigarette!”
Vivian gasped out “Really? I thought it was a lollipop” She replied sarcastically..
“You’re a lady and you’re not supposed to do things like this”
Vivian rolled her eyes and started walking into the building, for a moment she had forgotten that the person she was with was her mother..
“Wait up!” Joyce called out..
They both entered the building which reeked of dust and rotting flesh, probably from a mouse or so..
“It stinks in here Vivian..”
“Well it’s not supposed to smell nice! quit irritating me with your constant complaints!”
Joyce paused her lips and was startled when two huge men came out suddenly one with a pistol and the other with a chainsaw..
“Relax guys she’s my mum”
Joyce stared at her daughter in shock, how could she know them?
Her eyes trailed off to the chainsaw one of them was holding..
What could he possibly use that for? he flashed her a toothy smile which revealed one of his golden tooth..
“Miss, don’t worry about him we fed him well in the last couple of days”
Vivian sighed in relief, she caught sight of her mum trembling while staring at the chainsaw and pistol the guys were holding..
“Drake, stone you guys can leave now.. it appears my mum is scared of you both”
They nodded in approval and left as soon as they were gone, Joyce averted her gaze to Vivian who wasn’t the least scared or uncomfortable..
“How do you know them? they look so dangerous, and the guy with the chainsaw what is the need for that?”
Vivian touched her head and massaged it gently, this was the reason she didn’t want to disclose this location to her mum..
“Come on mum! let’s go see how well he is doing”..

Chloe peeped at her wrist watch, she was going to be late to work again, she smiled when she saw a car fast approaching..
She waved her hand for it to stop but it sped past her and slowed down a bit before moving back to her..
Chloe raised a brow and became alert, the glass whined down to reveal an annoyingly familiar face..
“Oh it’s you!” Bryan scoffed…
“I thought it was a new chic in town” He added..
Chloe inhaled and exhaled loudly to avoid saying or doing something that will be bad for everyone..
But damn! her brain and mouth refused to obey her..
She walked over to the driver’s seat and knocked on the glass..
Bryan raised a brow and rolled down the glass “Oh you’re mad? I thought you knew” he shrugged his shoulders..
In the next minute Chloe grabbed his key from the car’s ignition switch and walked away luckily a cab stopped by her side..
She got in and it sped past Bryan’s car..
