Chapter 65_ Suspicious
Arya held Kyle from punching the seat once more, it’s a good thing the glass was tinted to avoid the pestering media’s attention..
“Are you alright?”
Kyle took in a deep breath without responding to her, the car slowly left the hotel premises and sped off..
***
Chloe pushed back her seat in anger, she has had enough of whatever sh*t that was going on in this weird house..
Bryan raised his head to her in surprise, he tried to communicate with her through his eyes but she wasn’t ready to spare him a glance..
“It’s not as if I wanted to be a part of your weird family! Bryan! I’m leaving!”
She barked furiously and stomped away from the living room..
“Look at her, she’s so disrespectful and you…
“Save it.. I’m not interested in whatever you have to say concerning my choice of lady.. you married yours without any issues, so leave my life alone!” Bryan interjected cutting his dad’s speech off..
He picked up his phone, pushed back his chair and walked out hurriedly..
“Bryan” Cynthia called out to him but he was long gone..
She faced her husband who didn’t seem to be a bit bothered by what just happened when it was his fault entirely..
“It’s been months since Bryan came here and you just had to ruin things today for him.. stop trying to force things down on him, he’s not ready yet!” Cynthia fired.
Charles swept his gaze over her “Didn’t you see how disrespectful he was to me?! you choose to support every of his wrongdoings but I’m fed up of it already”
Another screech on the floor was heard and Diane stood up and left the dining room without a second glance back..
“You’re such a father.. enjoy your meal alone and make sure you don’t choke!”

Bryan caught Chloe’s arm before she could leave the main gate of the house..
“Stop!”
Chloe retracted her arm from his hold, her breath was heavy and uneven..
“Why? do you want to give me a big time lecture on how to be nice to my elders? didn’t you see how he spoke to me in there?”
Bryan held her arm once more when she tried to leave again, he took in a deep breath and peered down at her face that was turning red due to anger..
“I know how my dad and sister are like.. so I’m not going to reprimand you or anything, but you can’t just leave like that.. we had a deal”
Chloe raised a brow with a loud scoff, what deal? if this was what she would face in the future then she’ll gladly walk away now and never return..
“I’m not interested in this deal anymore Bryan”
Bryan pulled out his phone and tapped on it for some seconds before he placed it back into his pocket..
Almost immediately Chloe’s phone beeped out, she reluctantly brought it to her face, she gazed at it in shock and before Bryan could utter a word, she suddenly passed out..
He caught her in his arms just in the nick of time, his thick brows were furrowed as he looked at her closed eyes..
“So dramatic” he murmured beneath his breath and lifted her in his arms walking towards his car parked at a little distance away from them..

Arya stepped out of the car and watched it leave till it vanished completely from her sight, was it her head or was Kyle behaving strangely just now?
However, as soon as she attempted to walk into her restaurant, a car pulled over and a guy stepped out of it..
Arya’s brows drew together when she recognized who it was..
“Arya”
She blinked several times just to be sure she wasn’t seeing things, this person before her was none other than her ex fiance who cheated on her with her step sister..
She frowned in disgust, he looked so worn out and unkempt, dark circles settled under his eye bag while his beards looked too.. arrghhh
Arya pulled her gaze away from him and was about to go into her restaurant when she heard him speak..
“I’d like to talk to you Arya.. it’s very urgent”
Arya ignored his words and stepped into the restaurant closing the double doors made of glass behind her..
As soon as Sam saw her approaching, he walked towards her with a wide grin on his lips..
“Ma’am.. you’re here today”
Arya returned back his smile but immediately she saw who just stepped in her smile vanished, she turned to Sam “I thought You’re off duty today?”
Sam massaged the nape of his neck nervously, he sent her a weird smile and Arya instantly knew what happened..
She touched her forehead with a sigh,”Chloe asked you to cover up for her didn’t she?”
Sam gave a small nod, he bowed slightly once she dismissed him..
“Chloe.. you’re driving me insane, just when I needed to talk to you” Arya murmured to herself and took a seat on an empty spot..
Almost immediately, the opposite chair was taken by Cole..
She met his gaze and fired at him before he could even speak..
“What do you want?!”
Cole looked around to be ensured that no one heard her scream, he was glad that no one was looking towards their direction..
He placed both of his hands on the table with a pitiful expression on his face..
“Arya.. please give me a chance to speak”
Arya picked up her phone and dropped it back on the table after a while..
“You have five minutes, your time starts now”..
Cole forced a smile at her, he wondered how to strike up a conversation with her without him sounding too weird about it..
“I’m leaving the country next week Arya”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Arya relaxed back on her seat, she arched a brow with a bored expression on her face..
“So?”
Cole cleared his throat “I want to make a request, please talk to Mr Anderson and tell him not to put pressure on my family anymore.. we are already bankrupt and don’t own a penny anymore..”
Arya chuckled, so Kyle really dealt with Cole and his family? even till now?
However she composed herself and looked him in the eye..”I don’t want to ruin my marriage by doing that.. you started all these so bear it!”
“Marriage? you and I know that you’re only married to him because of his son.. I was as well thinking that you might want to come along with me”
And that was it, Arya couldn’t take it anymore, she suddenly bursted out laughing her guts out, this was the limit to everything..
“I’m serious about it Arya.. we could move very far away where no one will find us, please trust me” Cole pleaded trying to reach for her hand on the table..
Arya foreseeing his move quickly retracted her hand from his touch, she wondered what made her fall for a man like him, he looked like a shadow of his former self..
“And what makes you think that I’ll be willing to go with you?”
“I still love you Arya.. but I realized this a bit too late..” Cole murmured..
Arya snorted in disdain, she hated where this conversation was heading to and she couldn’t bear it anymore..
“I think we are done here” Arya concluded picking up her purse in a hurry..
“I need two million dollars Arya..”
Arya’s lips parted in disbelief, how much lower can he stoop?
“Stop embarrassing yourself Cole! I thought you had Vivian I’m sure she can help you”
Cole bowed his head in shame “I’m no longer with Vivian”
As if realizing something Arya leaned a little bit closer to him..
“I might consider helping you if you could give me some useful information” Arya murmured with a smirk..
