Chapter 67_ Evil plots
Arya swallowed hard as she stared into his eyes, she tried to force a smile at him but it vanished when she saw the look on his face..
“I never said that.. you have a habit of always misunderstanding my words”
Kyle was just about to retort when the door pushed open, Ray bounced into the room and stood in between them with a wide grin..
“Daddy aren’t you ready yet? aunt and grandma has been waiting for sometime now”
Kyle managed to force a smile at Ray “I’ll be down in a minute”
Ray nodded to his dad’s words and bolted out of the room leaving the two..
Immediately the door was closed, Arya pushed Kyle down to sit on the sofa..
He raised his head up in disbelief, how dare she treat him like this? he opened his mouth to speak but to his utter dismay she placed a finger on his lips..
“Don’t lecture me.. now be a good little boy and come downstairs, if you don’t show up in the next five minutes.. I’ll come get you myself and you’ll be sorry for disobeying me” Arya muttered in a low tone, the corner of her lips pulled up into a smirk..
She didn’t miss the look of shock on Kyle’s face, he must be having a hard time digesting what just happened..
It wasn’t until the door closed before he snapped out of his daze..

Arnold opened the news paper he just picked from the kitchen counter, he took a seat in the sofa and was going through it..
At the same time Chloe came down from the stairs in her pj’s, while a navy blue colored socks covered her feet..
“Beautiful morning big bro”
Arnold rested his gaze on her for a few seconds before it fell back on the newspaper..
“Morning..”
The door bell rang, Chloe who had a glass of water to her lips paused she exchanged gazes with her big bro and sighed..
“I’ll get it” Arnold announced and walked to the door leaving Chloe bewildered…
He opened the door and was a bit surprised to see an unfamiliar man in a yellow shirt holding a parcel to him..
“Sorry you’re?”
“I’m here to deliver this to a Chloe Evans”
“That’s me!” Chloe exclaimed with her head popped out of the door..
Arnold frowned at her behavior and stepped aside granting her access to accept her package..
He returned back to the sofa, he noticed Chloe has been spending a lot lately and was suddenly piqued to know what she was up to..
Chloe closed the door behind her, she happily skipped around with the parcel she was holding..
“Don’t you think you have a lot to explain concerning your recent spending? or you want me to go through your transaction history?”
She froze when she heard him speak, her eyes darted to and fro wondering what to say, it wasn’t even payday yet so how was she supposed to do and say to him?
“Cat got your tongue?”
Chloe shook her head, and stared down at her feet, she couldn’t be this greedy maybe it was time she told her brother what was really going on..
For as long as she could remember, Arnold has been the one fending for she and her siblings ever since their parents died in a car accident..
He works as a bartender at a famous bar where he struggles to make ends meet, taking in a deep breath she took her seat on the sofa opposite him..
“I’ll tell you everything but promise you won’t be mad”
Arnold’s face darkened, was she trying to say that whatever she was about to tell him would make him upset? just what exactly has she done?
“Tell me”
“I’m in a relationship with Mr Alexander, he…
“What?!” Arnold barked out rising to his feet, he wasn’t patient enough to let her speak, hearing this from her seemed to strike a nerve..
Chloe nervously stood up too “I know I’m wrong for doing this despite of what he did to you in the past but it’s not real.. it’s just a fake one”
Arnold didn’t seem to get a hold of what she just said, different things ran through his mind at the moment..
Bryan Alexander has a reputation of going around with different ladies all for the fun of it and nothing more!..
And now his sister was among those girls to be destroyed by him? it was a bit okay when his girlfriend was snatched away from him by Bryan but he actually had the audacity to come after his sister..
Chloe’s brows drew together, why was he acting like this now? it’s not like he wasn’t suspecting she and Bryan were a thing..
“What have you done with him?!”
Chloe’s face scrunch in disgust, what was that supposed to mean?
“Did you sleep with him?!”
“No! It’s not what you’re thinking Arnold!”
Arnold took in a deep breath gazing down at her, even if he acted like he really didn’t care how she lived her life, deep down he cared about her more than himself..
“Oh come on Chloe!”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Actually Bryan struck a deal with me, he said if I could be his pretend girlfriend he’d give me two hundred million”
Arnold snorted with a painful smile on his lips, so this was it? money..
“Really? and how true are his words that you blindly trusted him? that dude is a big time cheater and a crook don’t you know that?”
Chloe nodded her head “He paid half of it few days ago”
Arnold’s demeanor changed into a calm one “What?”

Elizabeth smiled when she saw Kyle approaching them, she stood up and pulled him in for a warm hug..
“We’ve been waiting for sometime now and I almost thought you didn’t want to see me anymore”
Arya took a large bite out of her red apple while maintaining eye contact with Kyle..
“he had no choice but to come down after I convinced him calmly”
Mia lifted Ray up and groaned out “Look at that.. I can’t even lift you up anymore Ray”
Ray giggled rubbing his tummy “Arya feeds me well.. unlike before where daddy makes breakfast which turned out pretty bad.. and we had to hire a cook”
Everyone bursted out laughing except Kyle who didn’t find it funny at all, but for some reasons Arya’s laughter was the loudest and most annoying..
Without sparing them another glance, he turned around and started walking away..
“I think he’s upset” Arya murmured, she couldn’t believe what she just heard, Kyle making breakfast? that was so funny..
***
Lora lazily sipped her wine while she watched Vanessa pace around the room..
She had initially thought that this whole marriage thing was a bluff but who was she kidding? there has been a lot of preparation concerning it, even the news couldn’t stop talking about the big day..
And here she was all alone, after ruining her beautiful life and career, he decided to toss her aside..
“They badly want to get married right? after making me a mess”
Lora placed her glass on the table beside her and sighed, honestly she didn’t want to get on the bad side of Kyle Anderson, so she tried as much as possible not to get involved into Vanessa’s plans..
“Vanessa I know how bad you want a revenge, after that night your image was tarnished just let karma have its way”
Vanessa shot Lora a mean gaze, was she trying to back out now?
“Really? or are you perhaps scared of Kyle and Arya?”
Lora sighed and gave a nod “I don’t want to be trampled on by Kyle Anderson”
Vanessa held the arm of Lora’s seat and leaned forward to her with an icy glare..
“Of course you won’t, neither will I silly, all we have to do is to sit and enjoy this whole drama that’s about to unfold.. this wedding won’t take place without drama” She said with a sly smirk..
