Chapitre 12: Chapter 11
"Ahhhh". She screamed in fright as she was suddenly lifted off the floor.
It took her a few seconds before she could comprehend what just happened.Did Nolbett just .....
"Wh....wh....waht....what do you think you're doing?"
🤐
"Nolbett?"
🤐
"Put me down right this minute "
🤐
"Nolbett Revaz, put me.....argh" her words ended with a scream as she mindlessly wrapped her arms around his neck to prevent herself from falling. The sick man was loosely holding her!!
"This ain't funny Mr Revaz, put me down right this.....
The door was opened and Nolbett walked in,while the house servants in unison, bowed with respect, making sure they didn't look at the couple but even with this, Lyka wasn't comfortable, infact, she was embarrassed, what was this psychopath trying to do?
Her embarrassment didn't last long though, the unique beauty of the house caught her attention.
If she thought outside was breathtaking, inside was mind-blowing.
It was so beautiful that she couldn't help but marvel at it's beauty, it looked.....no no no, this was not the right time to appreciate the beauty of Nolbett Revaz's house. There was a more dire situation.
She knew struggling was useless as he was a lot more stronger than her. It was also useless to try reasoning with him, he had been ignoring her since. So she decided to ask.
" Where are you taking me to?"
" The room". He answered this time but Lyka didn't seem pleased to hear his answer, infact she was horrified. Was he planning to.....
'NO...NO...NO'
She hit him on the arm, yelling desperately," Put me down, right this minute. I am not doing anything with you". She said with so much resolution,her words slightly startling Nolbett as he eventually put her down.
"Excuse me?"he was lost.
" We might be married and all that but am definitely not consummating the marriage with you".
Her glares were enough to tear Nolbett into pieces.
He stared at her for almost seven seconds before he finally spoke," Wait, do you.....did you....did you think I was going to sleep with you?"
Lyka:😳 'how could he be that straightforward '
"We both have different rooms. Your room is rooms away from mine". He found himself explaining.
"Liar, then why were you carrying me?"
" I was only trying to be nice.You weren't wearing shoes and you weren't gonna obediently follow me ".
Now Lyka had nothing to say.
He snickered in disbelief,"You thought I was taking you to the room to.....". He scoffed in derision,"I don't even like you".
"Hey....."She was cut short as Nolbett suddenly took a step closer, his hands back to their favorite place, his pocket, as he towered over her. She swallowed nervously and even felt her heart almost jump out as he again leaned forward, their faces dangerously close.
" I was right, you are delusional and love to create facts in your own. Even if I wanted to do anything, do you think I would have waited till now?, I would have started with you in the car. You wouldn't even be able to leave the car yourself". He stated shamelessly ignoring Lyka who had almost turned red from embarrassment.
She took a swift glance towards the servants to see if they heard his words, but they didn't seem to, or they did but were pretending not to.
" Since my kind gesture has been misunderstood" he laid emphasis on the kind, leaning backward, away from their close proximity," I suggest you find your room yourself". He ended loudly, so the servants could hear his indirect order.
" I can't believe I was trying to be nice". He added lowly, before he turned and walked away, not bothering to look back.
The servants, as if on cue, went back to their previous activities, all of them ignoring Lyka and that pissed her off.
"Seriously?, Y'all going to leave me here , standing?"
Silence
"Hello, is any one even listening?"
Silence
"Really now?, Y'all going to ignore me just because that psycho told you to?"she blurted again as the few maids present turned to look at her.
" What?, You heard what he said earlier but you didn't give him the judgemental look you're giving me now. Why...."
"Ma..."
"Ah..." Lyka jumped, frightened from the sudden voice behind her.
" For goodness sake, can't you just come to..... Can't you just approach me normally and talk?. Do you always have to pop up from behind and scare me?, Also, how do you always manage to get behind me?"
" I'll show you to your room, mam". She informed calmly.
" Oh really?, Thanks Mayla". Lyka replied softly but her voice was thick with sarcasm.
"Mila" she corrected and turned to leave while Lyka followed.
"Myla"
"Mila"
"Meyla"
"Oww". Lyka groaned softly, Mila had unexpectedly stopped and the unsuspecting Lyka had bumped into her. She looked up rubbing her forehead only to find Mila staring at her.
" Sorry... Mila". She said and flashed a small smile.
****
"This is your room. If you need anything, just use the intercom". Mila explained politely.
" Thanks Mila ".⁹
"Do you need anything now, like..."
" Thanks. But am fine".
"Alright mam, I'll take my leave now". She said courteously and have a small bow.
"Mila...., Thanks. Really". Lyka said, honestly this time.
With another bow accompanied with a small smile, Mila replied to Lyka's gratitude before she left, shutting the door after her.
*****
"Dad, are you going to tell me the truth now?" Kyle enquired immediately they got down from the car.It was like he was waiting for that exact time.
" Like I knew, there was no way you weren't gonna realize something was off". Harry replied with a grin as they both walked in.
"It was obvious,only grandma and Kyra probably didn't notice it".
" Yes ,Paisley knew too and I'm going to tell you also what I told her. Trust me on this, I know what am doing ".
The guards bowed to them as they both entered the room.
" You forced her into an unwanted marriage, how am I suppose to understand and trust you?, for Christ's sake, this is the twenty first century. You don't just go about forcing people into marriages".
" Exactly son". He sat on the couch and put a pill in his mouth before gulping down water. " There's a reason for every move I make and everything I do is for the company's success".
" At the expense of your daughter's happiness?, We don't even need Nolbett Revaz's money or connection. So drop it and tell me the truth, was it your hatred for Lyka that made you do it?"
Harry chuckled at this, "so you also think I hate Lyka?"
" Well, you didn't give us any impression to believe otherwise. "You've always treated her badly". He pointed out, his expression all serious.
Harry paused at this and said nothing for almost five seconds but when he finally did, he chuckled before he spoke,
" You should get some rest now Kyle. I'll do the same."he stood up to leave.
" You still haven't explained your reason". Kyle said after him.
"You will understand someday but now, it's better you don't". He paused "Goodnight son".He eventually ended and without anything else,walked out of the room while Kyle just stared at him as he left.
Seconds later he brought out his phone and dialed a number.
" Dig into it now. I want results as fast as possible". He said to the person on the other end before he ended the call.
' It's high time I knew what happened 16 years ago'
****
" Ugh". She groaned in frustration at the incessant knocking at the door, covering her face with the duvet and hoping it went away but it didn't, infact, it became louder.
Just as she was about to lash out at whoever it was, the knocking stopped, followed by receding footsteps. Delighted that the noise had gone away, she pulled down the duvet as a silly smile formed on her lips.
She was really exhausted, she wasn't the lazy type, but she was quite tired from the previous day activities.
After all, everything was quite overwhelming.
****
The rays of the sunlight filtered in through the thin cotton curtain forcing Lyka to wake. She tried opening her eyes but the sun rays were just too bright. She couldn't even go back to sleep.
"What.....mm" she groaned in displeasure before she eventually opened her eyes but the first thing she beheld was Mila leaning towards her.
"Arrrr.....". She screamed and out of impulse rolled away from Mila, ending on the floor.
"Oww". Rubbing her arm in pain she looked up only to find Mila stretching her hand to help and she accepted it.
" Goodness Mila, do you have to be like this?, Must you always frighten me ?"
" It's time for your breakfast ma. Sir Nolbett is at the table, waiting for you".
'And she ignores me again'.
" He shouldn't bother waiting for me, not coming down anytime soon, tell him that.
" Alright ma". Mila without any more word, smiled and bowed a little before leaving.
" How could she leave like that?, She didn't even try to convince me. So mean".she remarked, scoffing in disbelief.
Casting a furious glance at Mila's retreating figure, she packed up her wedding gown which she hadn't pull off since the previous day and headed for the bathroom.
With the white new bathrobe she had just found and a towel around her head, Lyka had just come out of the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door and she without thinking, invited the person in.
"Found this in the mini closet over there, but it had only bathrobes and towels and some other stuff I didn't check out. There were no clothes there and also the....."
" Took you long enough to look up". Nolbett commented, staring at her with boredom, ignoring the mortified yet angry look on her face.
He was leaning against the wall, his hair neatly combed backwards and looking handsome in the white shirt and black pants he was wearing.
The first two buttons were unbuttoned revealing his smooth white skin and the neck chain he was wearing. In total, he looked delicious and handsome enough to make anyone drool. But not Lyka, at least not now.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" She yelled in fury at him trying to cover her body which wasn't even exposed before.
" Can't we have a normal conversation without you yelling?"
"How dare you come into my room without my permission?. How dare you?"
" You told me to".
"Why you shameless....".
"Dress up and come down for breakfast. We need to talk". He said softly and turned to leave. A step out of the room, he paused and turned to look at her, "Your clothes are there". He pointed to a door before he eventually walked out and shut the door after him.
' That son of a ......'
" Calm down Lyka, no cursing. Calm down". She said to herself as she took a deep breath before she forced out a smile and walked towards the closet.
' All right then, let's do this'.
