Chapter 7_ Mrs Anderson
Vanessa looked around the empty living room, she had an odd feeling that something wasn’t right..
“You!” she stopped a maid passing by..
The maid stopped in front of her “Yes miss Vanessa”
Vanessa’s eyes blazed in anger, before the maid could tell what was going on a slap landed on her left cheek..Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“You addressed me by my name? have you gone nuts! I’m the soon to be lady of this house and you… get lost!”
The maid scurried out of the living room with her hands on her cheek..
She turned around to leave when she heard giggles coming from upstairs.. she recognized the voice to be Ray’s..
If Kyle is at the office, who could be up with Ray right now? she doubted if it was the nanny hired for him..
That kid was so hard to please just like his father! She took in a deep breath and changed her direction to the stairs..
With each step she took, she could hear his giggles getting higher and louder..
She stopped right in front of the door and hesitated for a while before pushing the door open..
Both Arya and Ray raised their head to see who the Intruder was..
Ray’s once happy mood turned sour when he saw who it was..
“Oh it’s you! you could have knocked on the door, that’s why doors were made” Ray spurted..
Arya smiled apologetically to the lady who had a shocked look on her face..
“I’m so sorry about that.. he is just…
“Arya, there’s no need to be sorry.. she’s just one of our employees”
Vanessa narrowed her eyes at Ray, she pulled him to stand before her..
“What did you just say?!” Her brows crashed against each other..
Ray shrugged her hands off “I said you’re a servant”
Out of rage Vanessa raised her hand to hit Ray only for her hand to be caught back by Arya..
“Isn’t it a shameful thing to raise your hands to a child?! how dare you?”
Vanessa pulled her hands off from Arya’s grip “And what on earth gives you the right to touch me with your filthy hands?! do you know who I am?”
Arya tried to recall where she had seen this rude lady before..
“I don’t care to know who you are but I definitely know that it’s wrong to raise your hands to a child..”
“Vanessa leave now please, Arya and I were having some fun before you came”
Vanessa’s lips parted to speak but found no words.. Arya? as in the Arya that Ray talks about everytime and also the lady who Ray chose to be his mum last night?!
“You’re the lady, Arya right? what the hell are you doing here?!”
Arya crossed her arm, only a few seconds with this lady and she could already tell that she was a bitter person..
“You were at the party last night right? so what on earth do you think I might be doing here? I should be asking you that question miss, what are you doing in my house?!”
Ray clapped his hands with an ear to ear grin “Five points for Arya, zero point for Vanessa”
Vanessa grabbed Arya’s arm and led her out of the Ray’s room..
“Hey let me out you old witch!” Ray banged on his closed door..
Vanessa returned her gaze back to Arya “Listen to me lady, it would be better for you and everyone else if you leave this place and never show your face again”
Arya pulled off Vanessa’s grip from her arm “Why? so you can torture Ray? I have never met a self centered woman life yourself in my life”
Vanessa raised her hand to hit Arya but it was caught on air just in time..
“Don’t think of making that mistake.. I can be as rude to you too..” Arya said spitefully and released Vanessa’s hand.
“Guards!”
Two bodyguards came into the living room that minute..
They stood behind Vanessa and bowed “Throw this filth off this property this minute!”
“Says who?!” An anger laced voice broke into the room..
They snapped their heads to the owner of the voice..
Kyle’s eyebrows drew together in anger, he dismissed the guards present in the living room..
Vanessa’s face relaxed, she walked to Kyle “Kyle thank goodness you’re here.. this lady was trying to be difficult with me.. she called me all sought of names and I…
She sobbed, Kyle walked past her and came to stand in front of Arya..
“Congratulations miss Carter you’re now Mrs Anderson by law and also Ray’s mother”
Vanessa’s face froze, what?! Mrs Anderson? she suddenly lost her balance and fell to the floor..
Arya had a sudden urge to smack the smirk off Kyle’s face..
He might have a handsome face but beneath this handsome face was a devil..
“Now I know why Ray runs away from home, you’re a monster.. and you won’t go unpunished”
Kyle’s orbs dilated “Guards!”
The two guards appeared before him, he still had his eyes fixed against Arya..
“in my house.. we do live by the rules and no one is above it.. not even Mrs Anderson.. take her away, that way she’ll learn better”
Arya’s eyes widened.. take her away? but to where?
The two guards seized her and dragged her out of the living room..
“Where’s Ray?” he murmured..
Vanessa rose up to her feet as soon as Kyle left the room..
“That’s it! I can’t take it anymore! I’ve worked hard to be Mrs Anderson and I won’t let a bimbo life her get away with my title! now they’ll be blood!”
.

Arya crashed down on the dusty ground of the cell.. she rushed up to her feet to leave but the gate was locked on her..
“Please let me out! it’s dark in here!”
The two guards exchanged brief glances and left..
Kyle tapped the bottom of his cigarette on the ash tray..
“Boss the miss is scared of the dark”
“What miss? and where is Arya daddy?”
Kyle waved the guards off “She went shopping and she’ll be back in an hour or two”
Ray pouted “She went shopping without me? that doesn’t sound like her.. except you’re lying to me”
“Ray why would I lie to you? she’ll be back soon trust me on this one okay?”
Ray hummed in reply and returned back to his room..
Kyle sighed and massaged his temples, that Ill mannered lady totally deserved to be punished but now there was Ray in the way.. he would bug him till Arya is found..

Joyce heard a small noice behind her, she held out the torch and pointed it to check out what made the noise..
This was one of the main reasons she hates coming down to the basement alone, her head normally mess with her..
She heard a groan and this time she knew it wasn’t her head messing with her.
She walked in feather steps to the old rocking chair which was covered with a blanket..
“Who… who’s that? Vivian?”
She closed her eyes and pulled the blanket off to reveal a human being..
“Chloe?”
Chloe held her throbbing head in pain, she groaned out and tried to stand up on her feet..
“How did you end up here? what are you even doing in my basement?!” Joyce fired..
Chloe tried to stand on her own and in the process tumbling over old and dusty boxes..
“Hey be careful! they might be old stuffs but they were once expensive!”
Chloe gritted her teeth in annoyance, So Vivian knocked her out? that cunny fox!
Joyce phone rang out, Chloe was alarmed by it she suddenly fastened her pace and left the basement..
“Yes Vivian, where are you?”
“In case you hear noises down the basement don’t be scared I kept a captive there.. that nose poker, she found out about Cole and I so I knocked her out”
“You mean Chloe?”
“Yeah, that nose poker”
Joyce’s lips parted “Well she left!”
Vivian sat up from the bed and pulled the duvet to her bare body…
“What? do you realize what that means mum?! if Chloe gets to Arya everything we’ve worked so hard for will be over! go and get her!”
