Chapter 107_ Lies 1
Arya closed the door gently behind her to avoid waking Kyle up from his slumber..
“There you are!”
She was suddenly startled hearing Ray’s little voice, he narrowed his gaze suspiciously at her stroking his chin..
“Ray you’re so naughty! you gave me quite a fright!”
Ray chuckled and threw his hands up in the air for her to lift him up, which she did without hesitating, a groan escaped from the back of her lips as she bent a little..
She was still feeling sore between her thighs, who would have thought that the legendary Kyle Anderson was a monster on bed?
“I knew it!.. I knew you slept at daddy’s room, I came to your room last night but you weren’t there.. and when I was on my way to daddy’s room.. I heard scary noises”
Arya’s eyes rounded, she blushed red in embarrassment, it was a good thing this curious little boy didn’t enter the room last night..
Because the last she recalled, the door wasn’t even locked!
“Oh.. well.. how about we go brush?”
Ray nodded his head in excitement, he loved it whenever Arya brushed his teeth, he gets to hear that that funny theme song she often sings for him..
“Brush.. brush.. brush-” he sang continuously while they walked away..

Arnold knocked softly against Chloe’s door, ever since she came back last night, she had been upset that she even missed dinner..
“Chloe.. open up, i brought you breakfast”
Chloe stirred on the bed, she turned her back against the door without the intention of stepping out of the bed..
“Don’t let me break down this door Chloe, come out”
She sat up on the bed grumbling beneath her breath, she knew Arnold would definitely do as he had just said..
She hissed in irritation and stepped out of the bed, walking to the door..
Arnold raised his hand to knock once more when he heard the click of the door, he pushed it open and stepped inside his sister’s room..
Chloe walked back to her bed and sat on it avoiding his interrogative stare, he placed the tray which contained a cup of tea and toast..Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“You came back home upset last night, what happened?”
Chloe forced a tight smile at him to ease him of his worry, he wouldn’t back down on his question if she didn’t try to convince him that she was alright..
“I had a pretty rough day at work” She lied blatantly..
Arnold wasn’t fully convinced, he suspected something else entirely..
“Did Sam break up with you?”
Chloe’s eyes rounded in shock, she snapped her head to him to see the teasing grin on his lips, he must be feeling that he was right about his assumption..
“What no! that’s really not the case.. I’m just a bit tired”
Arnold sighed in defeat he turned around to leave the room when his eyes caught sight of the invitation card Bryan gave her yesterday..
He diverted his gaze back to Chloe who was picking on her finger nails..
“I hope this doesn’t have anything to do with Bryan Anderson?”
Chloe raised her head to him once more, she cleared her throat lost for words for a few seconds..
“Oh.. no.. no, this has nothing to do with him, I promise”
Arnold chose to believe, he gave a nod and walked out of the room leaving her to her privacy, Chloe stood up and reach for the card on the table..
She stared at the names on the card and suddenly felt a surge of anger pass through her, she was annoyed just by staring at Lora’s name next to Bryan’s..
“I wish them a happy life!” she mumbled through gritted teeth resisting the urge to rip the card into tiny bits..
Today was the said engagement party, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got..

Charlotte moved back gently when the door was clicked open from the outside, she stepped out of the storage room and sent a slap to the servant who stood before her..
“Where on earth have you been?! I spent the night in there!”
She heaved deeply and stormed off heading to only one destination in her mind..
Arya was startled when Charlotte appeared before her with a chilly glare, she turned to Ray who was running about the living room with Conny in his arm..
“Whatever you want to say.. save it! there’s a kid in here” Arya cautioned and turned around to leave only to be held back by Charlotte..
“You locked me in there didn’t you?!”
Arya pulled her hand harshly from Charlotte’s hold and gave a firm nod..
“Yes I did! is anything wrong with that?!”
Charlotte raised a finger to Arya’s face only to be slapt across her already irritated face..
“You dared to drug my husband just to have your way with him?! how shameless!” She spat out irritably at Charlotte’s face..
Charlotte’s hands fisted by her sides, it took only a little string of patience to stop her hands from choking Arya to death!
“Kyle has always been mine from the beginning! he was never yours! you’re only trying to snatch my family away from me!”
Arya’s lips drew a small smirk, does the latter even know what a family was?
“If they were your family, you wouldn’t have abandoned them when they needed you the most! stop being a selfish b*tch and get the hell out of here!”
Charlotte took a step back and dashed up the stairs, she needed to confirm what happened last night in her absence..

Meanwhile..
Kyle stepped out of the bathroom and at the same time, Charlotte stepped into the room, her eyes roamed around till they settled on Kyle’s face..
“Kyle?.. you’re awake”
Kyle hummed in reply and walked back to the bed, he picked up his phone from the nightstand table and went through it totally disregarding her presence..
“About last night..
Kyle touched his head feeling a throbbing pain, he placed his phone back on the nightstand table after he was done with it..
He walked around the bed and came to stand before Charlotte who gulped down hard..
“What happened last night?.. isn’t it normal between couples?”
Charlotte’s brows furrowed, something really did happen last night between Arya and Kyle..
“What do you mean by that?”
“Do you want compensation for what happened last night? I thought you said we were a married couple?”
Charlotte’s brows relaxed, she stared at him skeptically, he thought that she was the one he had spent the night with..
“Well I guess so..”
Kyle gave her a meaningful smirk and stepped out of the room afterwards, his smile disappeared as he raked his hand through his hair..
Last night’s image was still blurry in his mind, he knew that he had a blast full night with one of the two but he wasn’t sure of who, his mind already knew who it might be but just to be on a safe hand, he needed to find out by himself..

Arya chuckled as Ray sprayed water on her with a water gun, she poked his sides gently which earned a loud laughter from him..
“Come on that’s enough Ray.. I need to get you out of the tub quickly, I don’t want my little prince to catch a cold because of my negligence”
She reached for a white small towel and wrapped it around Ray’s small waist before leading him out of the bathroom…
“Yay! I look just like daddy, don’t I?”
Arya gave a stiff nod, speaking about Kyle, she hadn’t seen him since she left his room..
A brief knock came on Ray’s door before it was pushed open, Arya was more focused on wiping Ray’s damp hair to know who just stepped in..
“Daddy! you’re here!”
Arya’s back stiffened, she took a peek behind her and felt the heat crawling up her cheeks when his eyes pinned down on her..
