CONTROVERSIAL LOVE

CHAPTER FIVE

Kyle walked into the room looking at me with pure disgust and annoyance, I was not giving him a good look either.

“What are you doing here?” I snort

“He came to see me”, Elosie replied narrowing her eyes at both of us.

“Do you guys know each other? Because I can sense some awkward air around here”

I was about to reply when Kyle beat me to it, explaining the little ordeal that occured between us a few weeks back. He made sure to call me all sort of name while doing that. This guy is definitely a certified asshole.

“He is my fiance”, Eloise said probably sensing that I needed an explanation as to why Kyle was here in her room. Speaking of which, Reyes??. I never knew that was his last name, I only know him as Kyle. It's weird, I know but everyone calls him Kyle so why would I even want to know his last name.

I learnt that they have been friends since childhood and their families are the powerful ones in the country. I guess that explains why Eloise has an enormous house. Their families probably want to strengthen their business seeing that they got their kids engaged at such a young age. Wait, so Kyle is the son of The Reyes Group?? Wow, it's no wonder he is f*****g arrogant and rude. Guy probably thinks the world revolves around him.

Maybe it does. You know his family's business is the number one leading cologemerate in this country.

Well, you did not have to point that out you stupid mind.

They probably forget that I am here. Might as well take a tour of the house. They should be done before I get back. I left the room as quietly as I can.

One could easily get lost in the mansion. The architectural design of this place is a marvel. Everything looks so surreal and unreal. From the walls in the hallway down to the little pieces of artwork used to beautify the house. It is truly a masterpiece.

I wish my mother and I would have a place of our own. We really deserve it after everything we've been through. Life can be unfair sometimes.

I was admiring a piece of artwork on one of the endless hallways when someone bumped into me. I looked down and saw this adorable little creature. He is so cute. He looks like he is about four years old. He has big brown eyes and dark curly hair. He winced and pout his mouth in pain. I crouch down to his level and pat his head.

“Hey, I'm Hazel. What's your name?”

“I am Liam, Eloise's little brother. Nice to meet you.”

He speaks so well for his age and he is well mannered unlike his annoying sister. I don't really have a choice than to put up with her. I wouldn't want to lose my job. It is also annoying that she is Kyle's fiancee. Now, I might run into his stupid but beautiful face whenever I come here. I hate to admit, he looks like a Greek god and all but he is super annoying. He is also super talk. I probably look like a dwarf beside him. I'm 5ft2 and he is 6ft3. That's so unfair. I get lost in thought easily that I did not notice that Liam was tugging my pants asking me to play with him.

I spent a little less than an hour with Liam when a maid came to call me. Kyle must have left already. I bid Liam goodbye even though he was sad about it and made my way back to Eloise's room.

She was already waiting with an annoyed expression on her face. I really hope I'm not the cause of that. I wouldn't want to get on her nerves now that I know who she is. Kyle might bully me because of her and I don't want that. She must have gotten into a fight with Kyle. I'm glad she is not taking it out on me though. That would be my worst nightmare.

“So Hazel, you have not answered my question”.

“What question?? Ohhh the boyfriend thingy? Yes, I do. Why asking?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to know. I just hope that would not affect this little arrangement of ours. I need to get my grades up as soon as possible. I don't want to get on my parent's bad side. They can be very strict when it comes to my education”. She replied in a low and polite voice I did not realize that she has.

“Don't worry, it won't but why me though? Kyle is at the top of our class and he is also your fiance so I'm sure he can easily help you with your studies.” I narrowed my eyes at her.

“It's none of your business, okay? Just……argh whatever”, she rolls her eyes.

I wanted to ask more questions but decided against it cause it really is none of my business. We studied a little more and I left for home.

I was about to get home when I noticed following me, I looked back panickedly and saw Kyle. “What the f**k? Why the hell are you following me?” I yelled.

“Why would I follow you? I'm on my way home. You might be too blind to see but I'm coming from a jog right now”, he said deadpan.

“You live around here?”, I asked swallowing a hard lump at the back of my throat.

“Yes, I do. I'm not sure how that's any of your business though” he replied shooting daggers at me with his eyes.

I ignored him and kept walking with him leading. He got to the gate of the house and went in.

The hell, my mum works for Reyes Group?? No, that's not possible.

I crossed my fingers and walked in. He was standing behind the gate. “Now who is following who? What the hell are you doing here?”, he narrowed his eyes at me.

“What are you doing here?”, I fired back immediately.

“This is my house”, he said deadpan rolling his eyes.

I really hoped not but it is true……..
