Chapter 114_ You have to let go…. 2
Charlotte turned back when she heard hurried footsteps approaching her, her gaze fell on Arya’s worried expression with a little stain of tears on her cheeks..
It was obvious she must have heard what happened, to her amazement, a slap fell on her cheek, she turned to Arya in disbelief, finding it difficult to comprehend why she was just slapt..
“What the-
Another slap fell to her left cheek, Arya’s chest heaved up and down in anger, she pointed a finger at Charlotte’s red face..
“You alone is to be blamed for this! I’m very sure you had a hand in this!”
She had received a call a while ago from Chad stating Kyle met with yet another accident and has been taken to his hospital for treatment..
She wondered how much more Kyle’s weak body could take..
“I’m not responsible for his accident! I was on my way to warn him because Dennis-
Charlotte bit her tongue after blurting out some things she shouldn’t have said..
Arya’s pupils dilated, Dennis! that’s right Kyle’s biggest enemy, it’s funny how she failed to remember him all these while..
And by the look of things, Charlotte has been in touch with him..
“So this is it? you’ve made a big mistake Charlotte!”
Chad stepped out of the ward with a nurse tailing beside him holding a stainless steel tray..
“And remember to check on the patient at room 302, he’ll be taken in for surgery soon..” Chad murmured..
He gave a nod to the nurse who walked away, he turned around heading to Arya who was pacing around the ward..
“Arya..”
Arya stopped moving about and caught up with him, the same as Charlotte..
He shot Charlotte a look before settling his gentle gaze on Arya..
“Don’t panic Mrs Anderson.. Kyle is out of danger, it’s a good thing he was brought in on time.. he’s still unconscious though and only sustained a few external bruises”
Arya sighed in relief, she was glad that he was alright..
Chad and Arya diverted their attention to the two who were coming in hurriedly..
“Arya.. Chad.. how’s Kyle? is he alright?” Mia worriedly asked staring back and forth the two..
Elizabeth’s gaze fell on Charlotte at the background who had a blank expression on her face..
“How dare you show your ugly face here! you cursed woman?!” she spat out startling Charlotte out of her thoughts..
However, Arya was less concerned about Charlotte’s presence, she held Mia by her hand walking out..
“Come on.. we have an unfinished business with someone”
Mia took one glance back at Chad who took out his phone typing on it hurriedly, he inserted it back into his pocket and immediately her phone beeped..
She took a glance at it with a small smile..

Rita handed the cup of coffee to her husband who had been all smiles ever since the news of Kyle’s accident reached his ears..
All he was waiting for, was the news of the latter’s death and nothing more..
“The drivers are on their way to the airport as we speak.. nothing can be traced to us now.. it’ll seem like a normal accident” Dennis murmured taking a sip out of his cup..
Rita sighed, she doubted if that was the case, Kyle has been involved in two accidents in less than a month, it’ll definitely look fishy..
“I hope so”
The door to his study was suddenly pushed open jolting the couple who were having a little discussion..
“Who –
Rita swallowed back her words as the two ladies bardged into the study room with an annoyed expression, she panicked slightly, what if they’ve found out that Kyle’s accident had something to do with them?
“Are you having a celebration about your little win?! you shouldn’t have messed with me this way Dennis Anderson!”
Rita turned to the sharp tongued lady who was speaking rudely to her husband..
“Don’t you dare-
“Save your speech for jail you witch!.. come on in officers”
Four officers entered the study and walked to the couples whose eyes were wide like saucers, poor fellas couldn’t believe their eyes..
“What is the meaning of this?!” Dennis barked struggling with the officer who was trying to handcuff him..
“You’ve been charged for attempted murder uncle…” Mia retorted with a sly smirk, Dennis and his wife has caused enough trouble for quite sometime in the family..
“Nonsense! there’s no proof of that you can’t arrest me based on their claims!”
Rita whimpered, she didn’t want to go to jail, the officers weren’t even ready to hear them out..
“There’s more than enough proof to lock you up behind bars Mr Dennis for at least twenty years..”

Chloe pulled her gaze off Liam’s interrogative stare, she raised her mug of tea over her face only to choke back when he spoke..
“So? hope you had a great time last night?”
She rubbed her chest slightly, looking around the living room, sure enough they were the only ones in the room sitting on the dining table..
The others were still sleeping or perhaps they were lazing around in their rooms..
“Y.. yeah? why do you ask?” she asked nervously sudden feeling scared of being caught..
Liam leaned forward to her a bit with a sly grin on his face..
“You know.. I spotted a really large spider crawling into your room in the middle of the night.. I better tell the rest so that we can kill it together-
Chloe touched his hand on the table, sure enough, he has seen Bryan crawling up her window..
Liam was the closest one to her, they shared deep secrets with each other more than they did with the rest..
She knew he wouldn’t tattle on her but this time, it involved Bryan and she knew well that they all disliked him most especially her oldest brother Arnold..
It was a good thing she was able to smuggle Bryan out of the house at the early hours of today before any of them woke up..
“Come on Liam”
Liam raised a brow, he patted her hand touching his fisted hand on the table..
“Just leave it to us to handle for you.. why was he even in your room at that hour? and only left this morning?”
Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise at his revelation, he even witnessed that? she thought the coast was clear.. damn!
“Just don’t tell Arnold please?” She blinked her eyes at him with a pout..
“Don’t tell me what?”
Arnold’s voice suddenly rang out behind them startling the two who were whispering to each other..
Chloe jolted out in shock, she sprang up to her feet with a weird smile on her face..
“Umm.. nothing!..”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Arnold raised a brow at the two, he knew that they were hiding something away from him but given their unbreakable bond, he doubted if they’d tell him the truth..
His eyes rested on Chloe, he recalled last night’s incident, where that manwhore kissed his sister even after knowing that he was staring at them..
“About last night.. I feel like we have something to discuss don’t you think?”
Chloe itched the back of her ear suddenly feeling nervous about the question, what was Bryan thinking when he kissed her in front of Sam and her brothers?
Such an asshole!
Luckily for her, the doorbell rang out, she sighed in relief, she owed whoever it was at the door a warm embrace..
Liam walked to the door and opened it, his brows arched in amazement as he stepped back for the tall and imposing figure to step in..
A squeak escaped Chloe’s lips as soon as her eyes fell on him..
“You sure have the nerves Bryan Alexander!” Arnold gritted through clenched teeth glaring daggers at the proud being who just stepped into his home..
Bryan sneered, he sent a wink to Chloe and made his way to the couch, taking a seat, he looked up to the raging young man standing a few metres away from him..
“Listen.. I didn’t come here to fight okay? I came here to talk to you.. and the rest of your squad” Bryan uttered.
Chloe slapped her forehead gently with a sigh, Bryan was such a fool, he was only making matters worse by coming here..
“There’s nothing to talk about.. get out this minute!”
Bryan sighed and stood up to his feet “I know you’re mad at me for what happened with your girlfriend.. to be honest I don’t even know who exactly your girlfriend was.. I’m really sorry for the heartbreak I caused you”
The living room fell quiet as they all tried to come to the fact that Bryan just apologized..
However, Arnold felt that Bryan’s words were more of sarcasm than an apology..
“Are you done? now please see yourself out!”
“Look man! I love your sister.. and it’ll only make more sense if you forgive me for a crime I don’t even remember.. you have to let go of the past dude”
Arnold took a step forward to Bryan only to be held back by Chloe..
