Bab 7: Chapter 6

They were all getting seated for dinner when Ace walked in to announce the arrival of the guest.

The mocking grin on Kyra's lips widened when she heard this, she expected some old man to be her fiancé and even if he was young, he would probably be very ugly.

Ace walked in again but this time, with the guest behind him as he led him up to Harry. Pleasantries were exchanged and Harry introduced him to Kyra who looked stupefied. She couldn't even talk, Harry had to take divert Nolbett's attention to save his daughter from embarrassment.

Nolbett and Harry were still talking when a young handsome guy entered, wearing a black Italian suit that fit his athletic body frame perfectly.

He was Kyra's twin brother, a very quiet and kind man yet he could become the most dangerous man if the safety of his family was on the line. That was probably why Nolbett felt this peaceful yet strange vibe from him.He walked up to them and Harry beamed happily on sighting him.

"Dad" he called respectfully and smiled a little, a smile Harry gladly reciprocated.

"Nolbett meet my son, Kyle, and Kyle, Nolbett". He introduced and the two young men shook hands, studying each other's features.

"We've met before" Kyle began,"but you probably don't recognize me, it had been quite long and also it was a short business conference, so we didn't see much of each other".

"Oh....." Was all Nolbett said, nodding briefly.

Kyra on the other hand was dumbstruck, it was Nolbett Revaz all along?, damnit! she had screwed up big time.

Just as Nolbett Revaz took his seat beside Lyka, Lyka's aunt and grand mother walked in.

"Grandma!, aunt! Lyka gasped in delight as she sighted them. It had been quite long since she last saw them.

"You naughty thing, you didn't even think of calling or visiting me". Martha, Lyka's grandmother grumbled after she hugged her.

"Sorry grandma, been busy." she said but quickly added. "That's not an excuse though, so I promise to make it up to you." she assured as Martha finally smiled.

"Aunt!" Lyka beamed happily and turn to hug Paisley who in turn embraced her tight before taking turns to hug the twins.

*****

They had begun eating already when Martha who had been staring at Nolbett all along, finally spoke

"You hardly touched your food, isn't it to your liking?" she asked, slightly startling Nolbett who for the first time was oblivious to the fact that he was stared at.

"Not that, I'm just not that much of a eater". he explained politely.

"Oh..., so how did you and Lyka meet?" she inquired eagerly almost putting Nolbett in a tight position.He didn't see that coming but then Nolbett Revaz left speechless, so he said,

"We met here.Came for a meeting and I saw her" he explained smoothy.

"And then you fell in love with her?"she pressed further.

"Yes" and he lied smoothy.

A short cough was heard as everyone turned to Lyka who quickly flashed them a reassuring smile.

"What about you Lyka, when did you fall in love with him?" it was Paisley that asked this time.

"What?"the nervous and startled Lyka asked, she wasn't expecting that but Paisley asked the question again.

"Um, I.....um, I ...had a crush on him."she finally said." Yes, had a crush on him, just like any other woman.... crushing on a handsome guy". she added awkwardly, solidifying her lies.

Paisley nodded and said nothing else as they all continued their food.

Dinner was going great and everyone was savouring and relishing the tasty food and silence until Kyra decided to ruin it.

"So, Lyka, you must really want this wedding?" Kyra said, more of a question than a statement.

"Yes of course" she said smugly. She knew too well that Kyra was another die hard fan of Nolbett Revaz. The brat probably had no idea it was Nolbett she was supposed to get married to.

"What about you, Mr Revaz?" she turned to Nolbett.

"Kyra!" Harry called, warning evident in his voice.

"What?, can't I ask some simple questions?" she fired grudgingly, mad at her dad for not telling her it was Nolbett .

Ignoring everything,Kyle just continued eating his food like nothing was happening, as long as his sister was happy, he was cool with everything.

Lyka on the other turned to look at Nolbett as she was seating beside him.

"Nolbett, weren't you going to say something?" she hinted but Nolbett seem not to understand as he answered.

"No".

"But, you told me you had something to say earlier before we came in". she insisted half-glaring and half smiling as realisation dawned on Nolbett.

He finally understood what she was trying to say, and concluded that Lyka Osvaldo is a very hilarious woman. He smirked and began..

"Oh yes, I have something to say". he said as everyone turned to him, giving him their full attention while Lyka could feel her heart beating erratically not due to fear but nervousness and anxiousness.

"I...." he paused briefly as everyone waited and watched on anxiously. The way he paused would make one think he was about to relay a bad message and there was only one bad message he could give at that time.....

"I wanted to say thanks a lot for dinner, never tasted anything as homely as this". He commented honestly and gave a faint smile before he continued his food.

"That's it?" 😕 Paisley was surprised, not only her, every other anxious person was surprised.

"Hmmn". he hummed a reply.

"Nolbett, you.....". Lyka was forced to stop as Martha interrupted her.

"So, when is the wedding date?" She asked excitedly, one would think she was the one getting married.

"Grandma, we are ..."

"We haven't picked a date yet, but we are going to, soon". He assured causing a smile on Martha's lips.

"That's great, you guys look so good together". She commented happily but suddenly paused as she turned to look at Lyka, "sweetie, you wanted to say something earlier ?"she asked her reluctant looking grandchild.

" Yes, you wanted to say something Lyka?,I also want to say something but I guess I could talk after you" Harry said kindly but only Lyka could notice the underlying treat beneath his 'sweet words' as she paled slightly.

"Lyka, are you okay?, You look kinda pale". Kyle noticed as he watched her worriedly.

"Lyka's probably exhausted, am so sorry Nolbett, but could you pls drop Lyka off at her home?"Paisley suggested worriedly.

"Why can't she just stay here, this is her home too". Nolbett retorted with a modest look on.

There was a brief exchange of glances between the family before Kyra stood up.

"I'll drop her off".she volunteered and moved closer to Lyka but Nolbett calmly held her hand and said politely,

"I'll do it".

He picked up Lyka's bag and gently pulled her up before he mildly yet firmly held unto her waist to support her.

"We'll leave now, excuse us". He said on behalf of himself and Lyka who still looked disoriented.

"I'll go with you" Kyle offered and stood up, but was pulled down by Martha who threw him a silent glare.

"He can take care of her". she nudged him, a mischievous smile on her face.

After bidding their farewell, the couples walked out, leaving the others watch them as they leave.

Paisley looked at Harry who was also staring at her, "we need to talk". She said enigmatically before she walked out.

Harry sighed. It was going to be a long night, he flashed the others a faint but reassuring smile before he abandoned his meal and went after Paisley.

******

"Is it a forced marriage?"

That was the first question that was thrown at Harry as he neared Paisley who was standing at the balcony.

"Does it look like one?"

"Harry!" She called warningly as Harry sighed for the umpteenth time that day, truth being told,he was exhausted already.

"Just trust me on this. I know what I am doing". He assured. Though Paisley believed none of his words, she decided to say nothing on that

"I'll trust you this time around but if anything goes wrong, it's your fault" she said seriously as she stared down the balcony at Nolbett and Lyka about to enter his car....

Nolbett was supporting Lyka to enter his car l, when she suddenly slapped his hands off her waist, glaring murderously at him.

" ?? "

Nolbett arched an eyebrow at her confusing behaviour.

"How could you do that?" Her voice was filled with hurt.

"Do what?"

"You promised to call off the marriage!" She yelled in response.

"No, I didn't, think about it well, I never for once said I was gonna call it off". He defended himself.

"You liar..... even if you weren't gonna call it off, you could have told me before dinner but you didn't!"

"That's because you didn't give me a chance. You cut me off and walked away".

"Gawd!!" Lyka exclaimed and tugged at her hair in frustration.

"I don't know what you are going to do, but you seriously need to end this marriage,pls, I'll do anything you want,just pls....."

"If you are do desperate, then rebel against your father and call off the wedding". He suggested, cutting her short.

"I can't do that. I just can't". She looked really worried and scared.

"Then there's nothing I can do".he drawled lazily.

"Why does it have to be me?, There are many women out there who would kill to be with you"she was trying so hard not to close her cool.

"Exactly!, every other women will kill to be with me, so why are you rejecting me?"he was curious.

" That's because I am not them, so just go pick one of them instead".

"You're right, you are not them,not all of them is the daughter of Harry Osvaldo". He said with a grin.

"Wait...., All this is for business?, You are getting married to me just for business,?".

Nolbett said nothing but smirk and the guard opened the door to his car and he entered.

"Get back here Nolbett." She yelled but got no response, instead the driver started the car and drove off leaving her standing alone....

"Get back here right now. Nolbett!, NOLBETT REVAZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Bab 8: Chapter 7

"How could he do that?, That bastard!" Tacha cussed out, grieving for her friend.

"You guys have to help me, I don't want to get married. I don't want to". Lyka cried out, fear all over her face.

Chantelle and Tacha were heartbroken, Lyka was the softest among them, so they both had this instinct to protect her but now they couldn't, there was nothing they could do,they could only hug her and watch her cry, which broke their heart.

******

Lyka walked into the hospital trying so hard to ignore the stares and glances from both co-workers and patients.How could they have ever guessed that the wealthiest man in Beree's daughter was here in the hospital with them.

Though Lyka was the wealthiest man in Beree's daughter, not many people knows about this. She was always on low key so people hardly knew, moreover she was also someone who hated to be the center of attention, so she kept her identify a secret but now, the stares from everyone now was really disturbing.

She entered her office and had not even settled down when Oswald practically barged into her office, startling her.

"Oswald!" she called scoldingly, almost pissed off.

"You are getting married?" he asked to confirm though it was more of a statement than a question.

"Tacha told you?"

"Why do Tacha have to tell me when it's all over the news, internet, every fucking place".he was perturbed, how could he not have known this?

Lyka's eyes widened in shock when she heard this, what?, it was all over the news? , how could.....

Her thoughts were interrupted with Oswald passing his phone to her to check the news as she collected it with trembling hands and read the headlines....

THE WEALTHIEST BACHELOR IN BEREE FINALLY GETS MARRIED.

THE GREATEST WEDDING IN BEREE'S HISTORY ABOUT TO HAPPEN: NOLBETT REVAZ AND LYKA OSVALDO.

THE WEALTHIEST BACHELOR IN BEREE GETS MARRIED TO THE WEALTHIEST MAN IN BEREE'S DAUGHTER.

THE MAGNATE GETS MARRIED TO THE BUSINESS MOGUL'S DAUGHTER

WHEN WEALTH AND WEALTH COLLIDES!!

Below each headline was a picture of her and Nolbett, the pictures were different picture and she wondered where the hell they found her pictures. The last picture shocked her, it was a picture of when she and Nolbett were walking out of her dad's house, him supporting her, holding her waist. It was portrayed as though they were in love, the story below it was something she didn't even want to dive into.....

Her father announced it, he did! there was no escape again. The wedding was gonna go through! The realisation hit her hard as she fell back to her chair, panic setting in making her unable to breath.

"Breathe Lyka, breathe". Oswald said gently, holding her face in his palms looking at her worriedly with his black beautiful obsidian.

Whether it was his words, his beautiful obsidian eyes or the genuine worried expression on his face, she didn't know but she found herself calming down.

She frequently had panic attacks and sometimes it could be severe,Oswald knew this so he couldn't help but be worried.

He said nothing and waited calmly for her to be fine enough to talk again.

Lyka on the other hand was also waiting for Oswald to say something, when it seemed like he wasn't gonna say something, she spoke up.

"Aren't you going to ask me anything?"

"Are you happy?"were the only words he said but these words alone were enough to make Lyka's eyes brim with tears.

"Oswald...."

"You aren't happy".he stated as he stared at her, " Your father forced you into this, didn't he?"

She said nothing but her silence answered his questions. He nodded in understanding before he turned to leave.

Lyka's eyes widened in shock, what the hell does he plan to do? She immediately stood up and went after him before hugging him from behind.

"What are you going to do?" She asked frantically hugging his waist.

"I can't do anything against your father, but at least, I can stop this". He

"How?"she asked with worry.

Oswald removed her grip on his waist and turned to her holding her hands.

"I am a very popular and respected doctor in Beree. A word from me to the media about your father forcing you into a marriage would cause a stir and free you from it". He said with much surety that Lyka was almost tempted to agree but then, she remembered her father's words.

"No!"

Oswald was confused, wasn't she against the marriage?. "What do you mean by no?"

"No!. You would be in danger if I do that. You don't know my father, you don't, he...."

Oswald held her shoulder firmly, looking into her eyes brimming with tears, " There's nothing...."

" No!, I said no. I will get married to Nolbett Revaz, I will". She said staring into his eyes, her breath uneven, her body trembling.

She suddenly jerked herself free from his grip.

"Moreover you shouldn't even care, you didn't know of my feelings or you pretended not to know and turned a blind eye to it, so why do you care now, you...". She was stopped as Oswald pulled her into a hug and she finally break down, letting it all out.

"I knew and yes, I pretended not to know".he admitted as Lyka stiffed in his arms. She recoiled from the hug and stared at him waiting for him to complete his words.

"Because I am not the right guy for you". He added with all seriousness yet nervousness like what he wanted to say next would hurt her.

" I tried Lyka, I really did but I will only see you as a little sister, just like Tacha..."

"You are only four years older than me." She informed, in case he didn't know.

"I'm not talking in terms of age Lyka, I'm talking in terms of feelings. I love you only as a brother loves a sister ". He eventually dropped as Lyka's mouth opened and closed unable to form any words.

Oswald was heartbroken at this, he didn't want to hurt Lyka and that was why he had been avoiding this conversation but he realized he was actually being selfish, she deserves to know the truth.

He kissed her forehead dearly before he whispered softly,"Thank you for loving me and I am sorry".

He slowly released her before he quietly walked out going against his heart to go back and hug her.

Lyka fell to the floor and curled up next to her desk as she broke down in tears.

*****

"I don't want this. I don't". Lyka cried out sadly.

"Thought you said you were okay with it" Chantelle pointed out reminding Lyka of her previous words.

"I said that to make myself feel better". She snarled back at Chantelle, though not angrily.

Though she seemed okay and all, Lyka was seriously depressed but she told her friends never to pity her, rather treat her like nothing was happening. She believed that would keep her from thinking unnecessarily and her friends were kind and nice enough to behave like nothing was happening, something she really appreciated.

"Nolbett Revaz is someone people would die for. I myself could kill to have a nightstand with him" Chantelle said shamelessly making Tacha to roll her eyes while Lyka laughed.

There was this silence after, no one said anything, each engrossed in their thoughts.

"You are finally getting married tommorow". Chantelle suddenly said, breaking the silence.

"Hmm hmm" she hummed affirmatively.

" Never imagined you will be the one to get married first among us". Tacha said as Chantelle and Lyka chuckled.

Tacha always joked on how they would both go with her back to Africa for her wedding, she told them how interesting and how lively weddings were in Africa and how she would be the first to get married among them.

"I am going to make this marriage work". She suddenly said out of nowhere.

"Huh?"

"I am going to make this marriage work". She repeated again and then added," I mean, we are stuck together whether I want it or not, so I would rather try to make this work". Lyka said.

"It's obvious you don't mean it" Tacha pointed out as Chantelle nodded in agreement.

"Is it?. Arrgh... gosh!,I am just trying to be positive". She groaned out and buried her face in her palm.

"I have a better idea". Chantelle spoke out as the two immediately turned to look at her.

"Instead of sulking, let's do something else" she suggested as they both furrowed their eyebrows.

"LET'S

GET..

DRUNK!!!" She yelled out and grabbed Lyka's hand pulling her out of her room, ignoring her protest while Tacha for the first time was in with the carefree idea.

The trio ran out of the room, intending to drink away their worries and live in their own fantasy throwing caution to the wind and forgetting about this fucked up world...

*****

From the authoress:

Okay, I discovered other writers do this which gives the readers a more wonderful experience, so I decided to do it too.Errrm, though I will post it on the next chapter. I want to chose a character that would act as Nolbett, and another that would be Lyka. You can drop comments of people you like to be Lyka and Nolbett and I can take it into consideration.

Thanks for reading.😘💕💕
