Lyra's POV
with everything going on with the revenge and my rising feelings for Arthur, i knew i had to chose oneEven though this revenge is always what I've wanted, I couldn't ignore the fact that i had something for this guy in my heart
And it was something special.
But as special as it was- it was also dangerous because for once, there was something else coming in between of my passion
And knowing that I would have to choose one- I decided to choose one today
"Arthur" i said softly, and he skimmed my face
His eyes were sparkly, his lips were a little parted and his face was needy
I moved closer to him, and he stared me down, not making a move
"You know-" i tried to speak but fell short on words
In this situation, what do you even say to someone?
"You don't have to speak" he said placing a finger on my lip, tracing it down
Even though no words were said, there was increasing tension and burning sensation glittering across my body
"I think-" i said this time, but my vibrating phone reminded me of my reality yet again
"I have to take this" i said as Andrew's name flashed on the screen and Arthur sighed
"Sorry" i whispered to him, answered the call and stepped away
"Yeah?" I said
"Lyra" Andrew said through the phone, and just his voice was making me nervous
"What's wrong?" I asked him, turning to Arthur who was already getting up- switching into his devil mode
"Its done" Andrew said after what felt like years, and a smile broke through my face
"Oh my god" i said as my heart overflowed with happiness and unsure of what to do with all these emotions, i quickly ended the call and myself in Arthur's arms
"Oh" he held me just in time, picking me up like i weighed nothing
"He said everything went well" i said looking at Arthur, holding his face
"Thats amazing" he said smiling wide and i hugged him tightly
"Thank you for helping me" i mumbled in his embrace and he held me even tighter
"I'll always be there for you" he said softly and i stayed in his arms for some time
Before we pulled apart
And then for once, i thought that maybe i wouldn't have to chose
Melissa's POV
That night when i came back home, my eyes were puffy and i was obviously still sobbingI stormed through the house, and immediately ran to my room- closing the door behind me
I ran to the bathroom and cried for a few minutes, overthinking everything
Why? Did she not trust me enough? Was it something i did wrong? Was it-
Was it because of Jacob?
As soon as this assumption crossed my mind, my tears stopped
It felt like a piece had connected, and now i felt angry instead of hurt
I felt angry at Jacob. Why did he have to involve himself with something he didn't even know about?
I quickly washed my face and fixed my appearance, and then walked outside with a determination within me
I need to confront him
As soon as i opened the bedroom door, my eyes were met with his
He looked like he just came back and that suspicioned me
"Melissa" Jacob said softly
"Jacob" i said a little annoyed
"Whats wrong babe? Why are you crying?" He tried to touch me but i moved back a little, and his hand stayed in the air for a second before he dropped it
"What happened?" He asked me again, his face serious
By now, i was still battling with myself if i should or should not confront him
Maybe he doesn't know anything and it was just a coincidence
even though I'm not a part of Lyra's plan now, i still can't reveal anything about her
"Nothing" i lied and stepped away so he could enter
He didn't force me, and walked inside the bathroom
I walked to the closet, changed and then made my way to bed
I waited for Jacob to come back, and when he did- he didn't come to me
Instead, he took his laptop and walked further towards the table
"are you not sleeping?" I asked him
"I have something urgent i need to complete" he said not turning around, his back on my sight
I didn't speak after, and instead slept
The next morning, i woke up to some ruffling outside
A little scared, i tiptoed my way towards the door and opened the door a little to peek through
I saw Jacob having an argument with someone
I tried seeing a little closely and almost gasped when i saw the face
It was Marco
"What do you mean the architectural firm is bankrupt?" Jacob said angrily and Marco snapped him a look
"Its that girl I don't know who- I'm sure she is behind all this" Marco said and my throat went dry
Shit. They know about Lyra
"No it can't be. I tried investigating on her, even sent her company a proposal to trip her off but she didn't show any suspicious behavior" Jacob argued and suddenly, i got the answer to why he contacted Lyra
"Then? Who is it?" Marco asked angrily
"It's spider" Jacob said and i furrowed my brows, trying to figure out the picture he was showing Marco
Whose spider? I thought as i tried to recall where i had heard this word
"Isn't that-?"
"Yes Thats Arthur Vinci AKA Spider"
