Chapter 84_ Suspicious
Arya shut her eyes to avoid his penetrating gaze that was causing some weird sensation in her body system..
“Are you a spy?”
She heard him speak once more and snapped her head open, she suddenly pushed him off her and scurried to her feet..
“I’m not a spy!”
She picked up her eye glasses that fell off while she was fighting with Charlotte a while ago..
“It’s late now, i think I’ll just have to wait till daybreak before I hand you over to the cops”
Arya’s eyes went wide, she had to look for a suitable excuse before Kyle does just as he said..
“Umm boss, I swear it’s nothing like that, I’m not a spy.. I had always wanted to have blue eyes since I was a child, so that the reason I…
Kyle hummed in reply, however his mind was clouded with different thoughts..
Who was she? why does she make him feel weird? and what exactly was her motive under his roof..
Arya and Kyle snapped their gaze to the door leading to the shower room, she returned her attention back to him with a sigh..
“I’m sorry I had to lock her up, since she tried to have her way with you”
Now he was more convinced that she was a part of his lost memories and not just a nanny like she claimed to be..
“Leave”
She didn’t have to be told twice before she bolted out through the doors, the moment she was out, she was pulled by someone into a room..
Arya held the walls for support as she stared at the person putting on a black hoodie..
“Who are you?”
Her brows creased when Mia’s annoyed expression came at her..
“You don’t recognize me now? should I call you Naomi Sinclair or Arya Carter?”
Arya’s expression remained indifferent and distant.
“What do you mean?”
Mia arched a brow, she noticed the two different eyes behind Arya’s eye glasses and snorted..
“Will you just drop the act?! I know you’re Arya”
Mia sighed in exasperation and took a seat on the bed present in the room, she raised a leg over the other and at the same time peering at Arya who wasn’t willing to drop her act..
Arya breathed out and took off her glasses, she tossed it at Mia in defeat..
She sat in front of the mirror wiping off her thick layer of makeup with a tissue..
“I can’t seem to hide anything from you and Ray!”
“that’s because I know you, you’re not one who leaves loved once behind at a critical time, and also Ray doesn’t get along with strangers!”
Arya turned back to Mia with a small smile, her sister in-law was smart after all.
“Great! you know, Ray knows and Kyle just saw me without my one of my contact len’s and I’m afraid he’s gonna call the cops on me, why are you here anyway?”
“I’m being pressured into handling the company’s affair, Kyle has to recollect his past and Charlotte needs to go!”
***
Kyle pulled the door open and immediately Charlotte stumbled into him, she gawked at him in shock..
Wasn’t he supposed to be unconscious? and where was that godforsaken b*tch who locked her in the shower room?
“Kyle?.. you… you.. are awake? She stuttered trying to force out reasonable words from her mouth, only one question came to her mind that moment.
Has he been awake the whole time?
“Ever since I met with an accident, everything and everyone seemed to have changed a lot, what are you hiding away from me?”
Charlotte’s eyes darted around avoiding his intense stare..
“Come on Kyle.. there’s no need to think so much about this..
“So can you explain to me the reason why you were locked in there?”
Charlotte turned to him with a tight smile “umm.. about that, I accidentally locked myself in”
Kyle’s arms crossed on his chest, his eyes were blank which clearly meant he didn’t buy her lies, he knew something was wrong..
“I swear Kyle, I really locked myself in”
“Fine, I’ll choose to believe what you say, but if I eventually find out that you’ve been lying to me, I can’t guarantee what I’d do to you”
Charlotte gulped down nervously but still managed to flash him a weak smile..
***
Dennis checked the time once more, it was already 9:00 am and yet Charlotte hasn’t called yet to tell him if she was able to carry out her mission last night or not..
His gaze darkened when he stepped into his son’s room to see the disorganized state, bottles of liquors and beers laid around and a packet of empty cigarette was seated on the nightstand..
“Martin!”
Martin stirred on the bed, he opened his lazy eyes and suddenly shut it when his head banged like crazy..
He has spent the last two days indoors, drinking and smoking his lungs out, he couldn’t even tell if he had showered in these two days or not..
“Get your ass off that bed right this minute!”
Martin sat up and ran his hand through his dark hair that was all messy..
“You can’t come into my room and try to boss me around, and by the way I’m not ready to be used by you for one of your psychotic plans okay?!”
Dennis flew up in rage, it seemed everyone had lost their minds in the last couple of days..
“Mia is the one handling the family’s company and here you lazing around!”
“Okay! go on and handle the company too and leave my freaky life alone!”
“This is about Charlotte isn’t it?”
Martin pointed a finger to the door “you can leave now!”
***
Arya tore open the brown envelope that just arrived, which contained the result of the DNA she ran between Charlotte and her..
She took in a deep breath and unfolded the sheet of paper, a frown settled upon her forehead when she saw the result..
Her suspicion was right all along, Charlotte was definitely related to her, her parents never mentioned anything about her having any distant cousins..
Now she knew why the little girl she saw in the photo was familiar to her, Charlotte is her older sister if she was not mistaken!.
But what surprised her the most was that her parents never mentioned anything about another daughter, she had grown up thinking that she was an only child..
“Something is definitely wrong”
She tore the report into shreds before disposing it into her thrash can..
***
Kyle was fully dressed in his black suit ready to leave for the office, he sat on the dining with Ray who was engrossed in his meal..
“Daddy are you leaving for the office?”
“Yeah, I am”
Charlotte walked into the dining and took a seat in between Kyle and Ray..
“Hey boys”
Kyle pulled his gaze away from her and settled them on Arya who was holding Ray’s backpack and his lunchbox..
“Ray hurry up, you don’t wanna be late for school again”
Ray flashed her an hateful stare and suddenly lost his appetite when he heard her speak..Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t think it concerns you at all”
Arya avoided Kyle’s gaze like a plague, she wondered if he still recalled his words from last night..
“I’ll drop you off school on my way to the police station”
Arya’s heart dropped to the pit of her stomach the moment she heard him speak..
Charlotte’s brows shot up, she suddenly wondered why Kyle needed to stop at the police station..
Did he find out anything about her?
“Naomi, I hope you’re ready?”
