Chapter 9_ Where is Chloe?
Arya muffled her laughter that was threatening to burst out any moment.
The look on Kyle’s face was too expensive, things got even more weird when Ray left the room.
“you find it funny don’t you?! but I think you’re the one who is so eager to come to me”
Arya’s brows drew together “What? even if you were the last man on this planet I’ll rather go to a monkey!”
“is that so? then what are you doing in my room?”
Arya was left speechless, his room? she had thought that this was her room..
“Your room? but the servant brought me here” Arya said in her defense..
“More like an excuse”
Arya heaved a deep breath, she knew this conversation won’t end well.. she simply turned around and walked to the wardrobe..
She opened the wardrobe and squinted her eyes, one could go blind by staring at the white and black outfits in it..
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Kyle’s angry voice came which didn’t seem to cause any reaction from Arya..
Arya picked out a white shirt and faced him “When you instructed your men to kidnap me earlier today, you should have told them to do the same with my things!”

Vanessa swiped everything off her table in anger, today Kyle had given her a big blow to her face..
Her friend tried to keep her calm but ended up being thrashed instead..
“Just stop this madness Vanessa!” Lora yelled out holding back Vanessa from destroying her room..
“Stop? my whole life is ruined Lora! Kyle is married to that bimbo! all my life I’ve only dreamt about one man and that’s Kyle but now he is no longer mine!”
Lora sighed, she touched Vanessa’s shoulder “Everyone knows that he is with her just because of his son.. you still have a chance”
Vanessa’s pupils dilated, No! she wasn’t going to share Kyle with anyone.. he only belonged to her
“All my problems started since Charlotte came into Kyle’s life, she might be gone but she left behind a huge thorn in my flesh! Raymond! that kid has been my major problem”
Lora turned to her phone that rang out, she picked it up and smiled when she saw who the caller was..
“Brian I have been expecting your call.. where are you?”
The next word she heard made her stand up to her feet..
“Hospital? why? are you hurt?”
Vanessa looked towards Lora with creased brows, how could she have forgotten about Brian? Kyle’s best friend.. he could be of help but first she must find out why he was in the hospital..
“Oh okay.. I’ll wait for you then” Lora murmured and ended the call..
“Is Brian alright?” Vanessa curiously asked..
Lora nodded “Yeah he is fine”
“Lora.. only Brian can help me this time.. I hope he is alright”
Arya groaned for the fifth time in a row, she sat down on the bed and tried Chloe’s line again but it wasn’t connecting..
“Where on earth are you Chloe? I need you.. please pick up”
She sighed and gave up calling Chloe, she scrolled down her phone and contemplated for a while before placing the phone to her ear..
It rang for a few seconds before it was picked..
“Cole!”
Cole placed the glass cup which contained liquor on the table..
“Arya?”
He was a bit confused, her voice sounded rather calm.. haven’t she figured out about his and Vivian’s affair?
“Are you alright? why are you quiet?”
Cole snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her worried voice at the other end..
He cleared his throat “Yes I’m totally fine, how about you? did he do anything to you? tell me and I’ll come over right now!”
Arya sprang up to her feet “No.. no.. no! don’t! please stay back”
She didn’t know what Mr Anderson might do to Cole if he eventually showed up at his house..
“I promise to get you out of there Arya, I would do everything in my power.. please don’t be scared” Cole assured..
Arya’s eyes teared up, how was she supposed to break the news of her contract marriage with Mr Anderson to Cole..
“I’ll meet you tomorrow at my restaurant.. be there on time”
Cole’s smile widened, now this was his chance to ask her for the money.
“Sure! I’ll be there”
.

A frown rested upon Ray’s forehead as he watched his dad hurry around the room.. today was just like every other day when his dad dressed up for the office and at the same time prepare him for school.
“Daddy I’m going to be late today again” Ray complained while wiping the water droplets off his face..
His hair was still wet and his dad was still trying to chunk him into his school uniform..
“I’m doing everything as fast as I can”
“I’m sure Arya knows how to do this better than you”
Kyle’s hands remained still for a while, he shook his head to clear off his mind, Ray was at it again.. comparing Arya to him..
A small knock came on the door before it was pushed open, Arya came into the room and was shocked by what was going on in the room..
“Good! Arya is here”
Kyle held Ray’s face from moving towards Arya’s direction..
“Leave him to me.. I can help”
Kyle raised a brow “Well your help isn’t needed Mrs Goddess, I can take care of my son, I’ve been doing that since he was born”
Ray pouted, he was lifted to sit upon the vanity table by his dad.
“But I want Arya to help me do it”
Arya face palmed herself when Kyle wore Ray’s uniform inside out for him..
She knew if she didn’t intervene, things will get messy for both father and son..
“I’ll do it” Arya said pulling Ray’s shirt off, she grabbed the towel resting on the bed and rubbed it slowly on Ray’s hair..
“You should have wiped his hair before putting the uniform on him”
Kyle snorted and faced the mirror buttoning his own shirt..
“Don’t try to teach me what I already know”
Arya rolled her eyes, in no time she helped dressed up Ray for school..
“My cutie is sooo handsome”
Kyle sat at the edge of his bed, he stared down at leather polished shoes..
“Hmm great! you’re done can you leave now?”
Arya helped Ray down from the vanity table and left the room with him.
As soon as they were gone, he wore his shoes and pulled the laces..
After a minute of trying to tie the laces, he gave up.. this was something he would never learn..
A knock came on the door again and it was pushed open.. Kyle who was backing the door snorted in irritation..
“What took you so long?! get over here and help me with these laces” He fired harshly..
When he didn’t see a reaction, he turned to see a dazed Arya standing still while she clutched Ray’s backpack..
Arya’s jaw dropped, the legendary Kyle Anderson doesn’t know how to tie his own shoe laces?!
Kyle was taken aback when she bursted out laughing hard at him.
“Oh wow! Mr Anderson.. you can’t tie your own shoe laces? this is unbelievable”
Kyle was totally embarrassed, of all people to come in why her? He avoided her mocking gaze, his hands gripped the sheets as her laughter intensified..
Arya stopped laughing and placed Ray’s backpack on the bed beside Kyle..
She crotched down on her knees and helped him with the untied shoe laces..
“Just so you know, I can tie them even without your help”
Arya chuckled, she stood up to her feet after she was done..
“Now I know where Ray got this trait from”
She recalled the night at the party where Ray’s shoe laces came loosed, could it be that Kyle was the one who tied the laces?
“if this ever gets out.. I’ll kill you!” Kyle threatened and picked his coat and headed out of the room..
“So arrogant!”
.
.
Kyle hurried down from the stairs, he made his way to the dining table..
“Come daddy.. have a taste of these yummy dishes”
Kyle nodded and took a sit beside Ray, he dished out the meal himself..
This time he noticed that the aroma was different, he took a bite out of his fork and turned to the cook, it’s been four years since he was employed and today is the only day he made a tasty meal to his satisfaction..
“What do we have here?”
Kyle and Ray turned to the person who just stepped in..
Vanessa flashed a toothy smile at Kyle “Good morning Kyle and you too Ray”
Ray’s smile fell, what was she doing here so early? a frown rested on his face when she took the seat next to his dad..
That seat was meant for Arya and not her..
Kyle nodded to her and focused on his meal..
Vanessa sighed in relief, it seems Arya wasn’t around which was a good thing..
She helped herself to the variety of dishes on the table and couldn’t help but compliment the chef..
“You’re good chef”
“Daddy isn’t it yummy?”
Kyle hummed in reply “You’ll get a raise this month”
The chef smiled awkwardly at them “Young master I didn’t make today’s breakfast”
“Yes! Arya did” Ray interjected with a broad smile..
The fork on Vanessa’s hands dropped harshly on her plate..
Kyle snapped his gaze to her, one of the things he hated the most was noise..
Just then Arya stepped into the dining room, she noticed the tense look on their faces and was alarmed..
Vanessa’s lips dropped when she saw the shirt Arya was putting on.. she remembered gifting Kyle that shirt..
Her last hope was broken..
“What the hell is going on here?!” Vanessa slammed her hands on the table and barked out..
