Chapter76.
I felt peace.
But Riya was so dumbfounded to an extent, she pushed me back and slapped me back to my senses.
"Salem!!! Are you okay!" She takes a step back.
"Yeah,"
I said and walked back to my room.
Riya chased me, she attempted to get no stone unturned to find out the weird demeanor I just demonstrated.
"Tell me what's going on! Or else you will be sorry" Riya threatened to get the truth from me.
I finally got over the shock and attained my attention to her, I know how shaken she was seeing me I saw me in such a manner, but reeling in the truth was no way, the best option for me, so I told a white lie.
"Do you want to know something Riya?" I waited for her response but continued talking, after seeing the gaze in her eyes.
"I know you must be shocked, but I felt it was time to tell me you the truth"
I rode two steps closer and said, "I love you miss Riya! I do know that saying this now, isn't going to change the way I treated you in the past but I was trying not to fall for you, I am sorry".
The startled look on her face seemed to have tripled, she takes her feet back.
"Riya!! Are you okay?" In an attempt to reel in a helping hand, she pushed it away and stormed out of the room.
To her, I must be a confused soul, and I don't blame her at all, I, Andres Khan, seems to have one destination for now and it's making sure that everyone close to my heart is taken away from danger, no matter what kind of danger it is, it's best they be far away from it.
The night drifted away, hurling in the next morning.
I woke up feeling hazy, it must be as a result of the terrifying dream I had last night, not quite long the doors to my room were pushed open, Riya walks in wearing a red gown.
She signaled a maid to bring in the breakfast prepared by her.
"What is this?"I said.
Riya was like, I came to your bedroom to serve you your breakfast.
I took notoriety of the breakfast brought in, but what I was yet to understand is, why?.
"Hmm!! Riya are you feeling okay today?" I asked.
"I am fine, ever since you confessed your feeling to me, yesterday! You have no idea how happy I am seeing that my love has finally been reciprocated".
She slapped her hands together in excitement.
Wait, what feelings, and what the hell is she talking about, did something happen last night that I ain't aware of?.
I took a walk down to the living room, everyone was seated and for some strange reason, I felt like there was something odd happening without my knowledge.
