Chapter Ninety

I had a meeting with Mr. Flinn and the board of directors. And he didn't stop asking me if the woman I had come to the charity event was with.


It made me remember what I had forgotten. I tried to finish up the meeting quickly to avoid all the questions from Mr. Flinn that I found unnecessary.

After the meeting with him, I had another but the documents were not with me they were at the mansion.


The thought of running into Arya at the mansion gave me so much worry.

I drove home after giving it so much thought. I walked into that house and I saw her watching television. I just walked past her like she was not there and went up the stairs.

I was in the study searching for the documents I needed for my next meeting and then moved to my computer to check my email when Arya came in.

As she entered the study, I had my head glued to my computer, I didn't want to look at her.


"I was wondering if we could talk," she said but I ignored me completely

"Mar, I was hoping we could talk about the past few days," she said again and I got pissed

"There is absolutely nothing to talk about, you deceived me and that is it"

"No Mar. I didn't"

"You are a liar"

"I lost our baby"

"And that's perfect, I'm glad you didn't give birth to a child for me. Very glad"

I didn't care about the effect my words had on her. I felt she needed to know how I saw things.

"Why are you doing this to me? I never knew I was a siren till recently and I didn't know how to explain it to you"


"That's a lame excuse, Arya. You know what? You disgust me. And I don't want to see you again"

After I said that I stood up and walked out of the study leaving her all by herself.

I left the house immediately and drove off. I couldn't wait a little longer because I felt I was just going to pull her close to me and kiss her maybe.

I looked at her a little and she looked really pale and sick. Losing the baby had really hurt me and I could tell she was hurting too but that's none of my business.

I finished work early and went back to the mansion. I entered the room and I noticed she left some of her clothes behind, those ones I had gotten for her.

Everything in this room reminded me of her. The sheets smelt of her. I lay on the bed. And memories of us in bed together making love flashed back to my mind.

I went to the bar to have some drinks. That was all I did lately. I won't deny how much I missed her already. Jade joined me at the bar minutes later.

"I noticed the friction between you and Arya and I can't tell why you both are having issues, but I know you two have a beautiful thing going on. But I know she loves you and you love her, you both should resolve it before it gets out of hand"


"If you know why, you would not sit there and speak of love"

"What could make you send the woman you love away when you know she is likely to be in danger"

"She is a Siren" I shouted and he kept quiet

"Oh.. you can't talk anymore. Cat got your tongue. Now you see where I am coming from"

"No wonder. It had been her that the headquarters were talking about. It had been her all along" Jade said

He was beginning to see reason with me.

"Then why did you not kill her the minute you found out"


I wasn't expecting the question he asked and I was not prepared to answer the question.

I got angry at myself all over again and walked out leaning him there.

I went to the room and took a shower and then lay in bed while I perceived her scents on the sheets.

She was leaning back against my body, she snuggled into my arms and I could feel her heartbeat against her neck and feel her heartbeat against her neck, as my arms were wrapped around her.

I felt the feeling of being loved and I didn't want to let her go. She snuggled a little closer, my hands tracing little designs on her arms. I kissed her on the neck, her hair, and anywhere I could touch her.  Her breath was soft and warm. And I realized how much I wanted her.

I didn't feel like she was close enough and so I kept pulling her close to me. So I place her heart in my chest and my hand moves around her arms playing with her black full hair.  My lips rest gently for a moment, kissing her chest. Her hand automatically moves to the back of my neck, massaging lightly.

I missed everything but some things had to be that way. I had sworn to my mother and sister, but now I had broken that vow. I felt like a complete failure and I didn't have anyone else to blame but Arya.

The next day, I got up early and got two bouquets, and went to the graveyard. I met at the spot where my nana and Lourdes were buried and then placed each of them on the graves.

"I'm sorry for not doing exactly as I promised. I have failed you both completely and I promise to make things right"

I sat there for a while thinking of my next move and then I went home.

On my way home, I was attacked by some men and I didn't need anyone to tell me it was from Logan.
I tried my best to beat up some of them and one shot at me and hit me on my right arm.

I was bleeding too much but I was able to tie the part that was shot to stop the blood from flowing so much. I tried my best to get my phone from that car and when I did, I called Jade.

Jade came in the company of the doctor and I was taken to the house immediately where the doctor took care of the wound and gave me some painkillers.
