It was another peaceful morning at the mansion as Micah hadn’t returned from work.
Eryna’s mood was in full swing, Her hand had stopped hurting and her feet were hurting less.
She walked out of her room in her pajamas scratching her back, Her hair all tangled up and her stomach was growling, she had to find a cure for it.
It was the duty of the maids to make breakfast for her but she woke up earlier than expected so she had to find something to eat, On the topmost shelf of a cabinet, Eryna saw a jar filled with chocolate chip cookies which caused her emotion to bubble up.
She knew that it was impossible for her to reach the shelf so he looked around and luckily saw a small table lying in the corner.
“You thought you could hide from me? Well, guess what you thought wrong because I have finally found you,”
Eryna mumbled as she dragged the table close to the cabinet. She held onto the counter and stepped carefully on the table as she didn’t want to disturb her feet injuries, She pulled out the glass jar, it was heavier than expected but that didn’t bother her at all.
“Haah! (Satisfied voice)” Eryna opened it while still standing on the table. Just like a small kid, she took out a bunch of cookies and held them tightly in her one hand while balancing the jar with her stomach and her bandaged hand. She was doing great until someone scared the life out of her.
“What are you doing?” it was a deep husky voice that spoke from behind Eryna.
“Gasp...” She jumped in horror as the jar slipped out of her hand and landed on her feet before rolling down onto the ground with a loud crash.
“Ahh!!! …” She lifted her leg in pain while she lost her balance, and she felt her body fall.
‘Okay great! Now there are glass pieces on the floor and if I fall I might as well die. My poor life.’
In such a short time Eryna’s brain had thought so many things, But just like the other day, She didn’t hit the floor but rather she was in someone’s arms. And this time it was literally armed. She felt a hand under her legs while the other securing her back, Her arm rested across a violently beating chest.
“Gotcha!!” The husky voice spoke in excitement.
Eryna lifted her head to see which angel it was this time.
It was a guy with attractive black eyes that had a glint of mischief in his eyes, His perfect jawline was sharp. He had a bright smile on his face when he looked at Eryna.
“Who…?” Eryna pointed her finger at the unfamiliar face while knitting her eyebrows, it wasn’t one of the servants of the house,
‘Is he new here?’
Eryna thought.
“That’s what I want to ask you,” He glanced away from her for a few seconds and tried to find a safe place to land Eryna as the floor had bits of glass scattered around.
He found no place so he walked away from the mess.
He took her out of the kitchen and into the living room and placed her gently on the couch. His face still had a smile as he glanced down at Eryna’s foot that now had a red clot.
“I am sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you…” His black eyes formed into a sad expression as he held her already bandaged foot in his hands.
“No! Don’t touch it...” Eryna snatched away her foot from his grasp.
‘What’s up with everyone touching my feet, Ahh!! I guess I should start wearing a metal armor’ Eryna was thought because the severity of injuries was increasing day by day.
“Huh?”
The guy was dumbstruck by her response.
“I mean the maid will do it,”
Eryna forced a smile, it was hard because the pain in her foot was killing her.
“Oh! Okay, but at least let me get you some ice, it will numb the pain.” He said and walked away swiftly.
It didn’t take him much longer and he came back with ice wrapped inside a while cloth.
He kneeled on the floor ad gently pressed it against her wound.
‘“Ah!! It hurts…” Eryna spoke.
“It will be okay soon,” He replied calmly.
The atmosphere was odd, as for the onlooker it seemed like a romantic moment between the main characters of a movie, Eryna too felt odd in the pricking silence so she broke the ice.
“So, who are you again?” Eryna asked in a cautious way.
“Hm...You must be new that is why you don’t know who I am, Let me give you a hint.”
The guy chuckled and rustled through his hair while knitting his eyebrows. He tightly clenched his teeth and formed a dissatisfied expression,
“Pfft…” An uncontrolled laugh escaped Eryna’s lips because she saw the reflection of Micah in the guy next to her.
“Are you related to that Prick?” Eryna added.
“Prick!! Wow you have so many guts to call my brother by that name, I thought everybody in the mansion was scared of brother but this is new…” He spoke in a jolly manner.
“Well, whatever let me introduce myself...I am Ayden Luis, brother of Micah Luis,” he held his hand in the air as a greeting.
“Hi Ayden, I am Eryn…” Eryna suddenly paused, Ayden too knitted his eyebrows when she stopped. “ No I mean I am Renya Scott, I am your sister-in-law,” She spoke with a warm smile.
“Sis-Sister-in-law?” Ayden’s voice had a hint of surprise in it.
Suddenly his expressions melted and his gaze trembled. His expressions looked sour as if something sharp had struck him, The bright face from a while ago vanished,
“Yes…?” a low sound escaped his throat.
‘Why is he acting like that? Did I say something wrong?’
“HAH! Wow!! Brother got married and no one told me,” He fixed his facial expression and breathed heavily for a few seconds.
“Nobody told me too,” Eryna mumbled.
