Chapter 11_ Eloped
Kyle’s fist tightened as he stared at the screen before him, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and shut the laptop..
“How dare she?!” He barked out..
He snapped his gaze back to his men who were present in the broad office space..
“You know what you have to do!”
They bowed in unison and marched out of the office..
A devilish smirk appeared on Kyle’s lips “You’re in for a tough ride”
.
.
Arya dropped her phone on the counter and sighed for the umpteenth time, she gave up trying to reach Chloe..
This was totally unlike her, Chloe never takes a day or two off work unless it was really important.. and to make matters worse her phone was out of reach..
Her thoughts was interupted when a glass of juice was splashed on her face..
Anger surged through Arya when she made direct eye contact with Vivian..
“You ungrateful b*tch! after securing a place in a wealthy family you forgot about the people who gave you a home!” Vivian spat out glaring at Arya..
Arya calmly tied her hair into a bun and walked around the counter before Vivian could digest what was going on, a slap landed on her left cheek..
“You b*tch how dare you hit me!”
Another slap landed on her right cheek “You..!
Arya raised her hand again for the third time “Say one more word and I’ll make you toothless!”
Vivian held her cheeks that were burning hot from the slaps she just received from Arya..
“You dared to enter my restaurant and cause trouble for me?!”
A sinister smile played on Vivian’s lips “Oh wow! Arya Carter.. an ugly duck who turned princess overnight.. I’m impressed”
“Leave now and save yourself some dignity or I’ll call the security to throw you out!”
Vivian crossed her arm under her bossom “And I’ll make sure your poor old dad gets the thrashing end”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Oh please stop with the drama little miss perfect, I’ll spare his worthless life if you could arrange the sum of twenty million dollars before the week runs out”
Arya’s lips parted in disbelief, her dad made a huge mistake by trusting Joyce and her daughter, ever since he fell ill they took him to a place she had no idea of and they have been using him to extort money from her since then..
“Where do you expect me to get such an amount? it’s the weekend tomorrow”
Vivian gasped “It’s the weekend tomorrow? that’s new information.. whatever I don’t care! get it before then or else wave your old man goodbye”
.
.
Throughout the rest of the day.. Arya thought of means to arrange for the money Vivian asked her to get..
“Where exactly could they be hiding dad? it’s been a year now”
A male employee walked up to her “Ma’am we’re leaving now”
Arya sighed and stared at her wrist watch, how did time fly so fast?
She picked up her purse and walked out of the restaurant..
A car pulled over in front of her and horned for her to get in..
She flashed Cole a small smile and got into the car till it sped off slowly..
“You look worn out, had a busy day?”
Arya nodded in response, she didn’t want to bother him with her own problems, he also had his own..
“You shouldn’t have bothered coming Cole, I stay with Mr Anderson now”
Cole grinned from ear to ear “I’m not taking you to him silly, we’re eloping”
Arya’s eyes rounded in shock! did she hear that right?! eloping?!
“No.. no.. no! Cole this is an absurd idea..”
“Relax.. no one is going to find out, not even Mr Anderson”
Arya bit her nails, she could imagine the look on his face when he finds out that she had elope with another man.. and what about Ray?
That kid will cry non stop till she is found, Something about him eases her tension..
“I won’t allow you become a mother to a spoilt five year old and a wife in a loveless marriage!”
.
.
Ray tugged his dad’s shirt, he could feel that something wasn’t right in the living room and Arya isn’t home yet..
“Daddy why haven’t Arya returned home yet? it’s getting late”
Kyle managed to flash a smile at Ray, he didn’t want his son to get worked up over something that could be fixed..
“I’m sure it’s the traffic.. hold on a while longer” Kyle reassured..
One of his men entered the living room, Kyle turned to the maid who was in charge of Ray’s welfare.. he gave her a nod and she led Ray up to his room..
“Speak!”
The man bowed “Boss we’ve traced ma’am’s location, she is currently headed out of the city”
Kyle’s gaze remained transfixed on one spot, he wasn’t surprised at all by the news..
“How stupid of her! go out there and bring her back home at all cost!”
“Arya ran away didn’t she? it’s because of you! you’re not always nice to her!” Ray screamed out and dashed out of the house..
“Ray! sh*t!”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Find that lady this minute!”
.
.
Lora rose up to her feet when she saw Brian walked in with a lady in his arms..
“Brian? who is she?”
Brian laid her down on the couch in the living room..
“Goodness! what does she eat? I can’t feel my arms anymore!”
Lora stared at the lady suspiciously who was still sound asleep or dead..
“Did you kill her?”
Brian rolled his eyes “She’s still breathing.. and she is a strange lady”
“Why did you bring her home?.. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking”
Brian pulled her into his arms “What a nice way to welcome me back home..”
Lora unbuttoned his shirt slowly with a teasing grin on her lips..
“I was just curious.. what if she is trying to take my place?”
“No one can”
.
.
Cole’s car came to an halt, Arya sighed in relief but it got worse when she saw the line up of cars blocking the road..
Her breathing became irregular, she recognized them to be Kyle’s men..
“Oh God! this is bad”
Cold sweat broke out on Cole’s forehead, his plan has failed completely..
Few of the men walked to their car and knocked several times on the windshield..
When they saw they weren’t budging, they broke the windshield and unlocked the doors..
Arya screamed out as a piece of the glass grazed past her arm..
She was yanked out of the car by one of Kyle’s men while the others thrashed Cole..
“Let me go!”
Kyle’s gaze was fixed ahead, he hit the bottom of his cigarette on the ash tray next to him before he focused his gaze on the lady on the ground…
He dismissed his employees and rose up to his feet..
Arya didn’t dare look up, she could picture his face at the moment..
“You had the nerve to elope with another man?!”
Arya shuddered, why does the news upset him so much? they only had a loveless contract marriage..
“You also had the nerves to claim another man’s fiancee as your wife! isn’t that a shameful thing?!” She retorted, this time making direct eye contact with him.
Kyle crotched down to her and grabbed her jaw almost crushing it with his hands..
“You are so bold to say that to my face!” he replied through gritted teeth.. one of the things he hated about her was her response to every question he throws at her..
She always had a response, his grip on her jaw tightened..
Arya smirked “You can go ahead and kill me Mr Anderson! at least I won’t have to bear your arrogance, I can never be proud of the fact that I’m married to you!”
Kyle’s gaze darkened, was she indirectly rejecting him?! he was the one to reject ladies who throw themselves at him..
“Don’t forget that we are together because of my son! I wish he wasn’t so blind to see your disgusting side, it costs me nothing to end your life”
Arya harshly pulled his hands off her jaw, she pushed him down with a little force.
Kyle landed on his butt, he snapped his gaze back to her in surprise, Arya started crawling slowly to him..
“Haven’t I told you Mr Anderson, stop using Ray to get my attention..”
Kyle was perplexed, never has he been treated like this before..
“What are you trying to do?!”
Arya smirked “Weren’t you trying to be tough a while ago? now let me show you how I treat people who tries to belittle or bully me!”
Kyle’s eyes rounded in shock as she crawled closer to him..
What was going on in her mind?!
