Episode 33
Kyle
I got home so happy about everything that happened between Bella and me; I took some yoghurt from the fridge, heading to my room; I have some documents to work on before sleeping.
Still working on the documents, I got a text message from Clara sending a good night message to me; I just smiled briefly, ignoring it.
The picture of Bella played on my mind, I miss her so much, I know we saw a few hours earlier, but I wish to see her the next day and day after day; I want to behold her cute face forever, but I get to have this strange feeling something terrible might be happening to her.
I decided to place a call to her, but as expected, I couldn’t reach her or hear her voice before sleeping, meaning I need to bear till the next day to speak with her.

I woke up with some noise coming from downstairs, “What could be happening today?” I wondered.
I struggled in getting up from the bed; I took out the stress to complete my work last night and forwarded it to the secretary at the office to take care of it; I want to have more time with Bella today, get to know her more and more.
I finished having my bath and putting on smart wears this time around, a knock at my door; I got super excited as I rushed to open it, hoping it was Bella, and to my greatest disappointment, it was another maid.
“Good morning Sir Kyle!” She chuckles.
“Hey, who gave you the right to smile at me, hum?” I got irritated by her smile; she wasn’t the one I expected to see this morning.
“I am sorry, sir.”
“Better, why do you have flowers with you and the noise? What’s happening?”
“Oh sir, your girlfriend asked me to give it to you, and you should come down with it; we are busy preparing before your mom wakes up; it’s mothers day today,” She forced it on me and ran off.
“Hey you, come back here and get this nonsense.” I should have gone to work; where is Bella, by the way? I need to go to her myself maybe she is feeling shy to come over my room to see her lover.
Getting downstairs, OMG, it was like a feast is going on at the house, then I remembered she said mother’s day, but Clara shouldn’t come here and turn this place into something else all in the name of celebrations.
“Oh darling, you are up already; good morning,” Clara said, smiling at me.
I responded, smiling back at her so the other maids won’t take me as a bad boss; I drag her close to talk with her silently.
“Clara, what’s the meaning of this stunt you are trying to do, hum?”
“Let go of my hands, I know you don’t love me, but I am going to win your heart soon; give me a chance!”
Why is she so hard to convince that I do not have any feelings or emotions for her.
“Look, Clara, you are equally wasting your time on me, hum? I will never love you, so quit.” I said with cold eyes.
“Wow, mom is awake”, she said, holding my arms, forcing me to walk with her to my mom and extend greetings.
” Are we having a feast today?” My mom asked.
Without allowing me to speak, she said, “My love and I decided to surprise you; happy mothers day!”
Mom was happy and hugged us both, saying, “Thanks so much; I know you two will make a great couple, and I am happy you are getting along, Kyle. Are these flowers mine?”
I nearly forgot I was still holding the flowers given to me by the maid; I handled it to mom and gave a fake smile, looking at Clara with the kind of act she was putting on in the presence of everyone.
Breakfast got served, we had a full table; I never knew father came in last night; I don’t wish to ruin my mom happy mood, so I just tried acting along, but I kept scanning the presence of Bella, still no sign of her.
“Clara, my daughter in law, I appreciate you for making my morning; I forgot today is mothers day, and my beloved husband gave me something special thank you, Kyle, you always make me proud!”
“Thanks, mom”, I said and continued eating.
“Kyle, are you done with working on those documents for the company?” Father asked; my dad never joked with anything, mainly when it’s all about work; he is very diligent in what he does; that’s one thing I like about him.
” I finished everything last night, dad.”
“I know making you the CEO of that company wasn’t a mistake; you are just like me, Clara. You are lucky to have won the heart of my son; you two will make a wonderful couple!” Dad said, and Clara started blushing.
Why is everyone talking about someone I don’t love, “Oh dad, you need more egg source”, I said to forget the topic.
“Thanks, sir; I know how busy Kyle is; I will wait till he is ready to make me his wife.”
I gave her a deadly glare after she ended her statements, but my mom picked it from there.
“Kyle, even as the CEO of the company, the company is yours, you can decide what should come up next, you can even create time for her. Moreover, you aren’t getting any younger; I advise you to marry her soon or engage her first for a start.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Mom, enough, please, let’s eat; I know what to do when the time comes, please.”
Brenda came to the dining table to serve some other meal when I asked her, “Brenda, what about her?”
I believe she would understand what I just said, “Sir, I haven’t seen her either.”
I knew something is wrong even seeing the confused look on my mom face and Clara.
Everyone saw the presence of Bella, her hair packed up, having a wound on her head bandage and some bruises; my heart got broken and angered to find out who hurt my woman.
I left the dinner because of her, and Clara was jealous of the whole thing, “Bella, what happened to you?”
My mom yelled my name angrily for disrespectfully leaving the dining, but they will never understand.
To be continued.
