Chapter 69: Would She Believe Me?

"Would I continue to walk around the house with a towel or should I just walk around with my bikinis instead?" I whispered to myself.

I sighed and wanted to walk away but someone hugged me from behind. "I wouldn't mind if you did that. You know..."

My eyes widened and I turned abruptly. "What...what are you doing?" I asked as I saw Gerard standing there with a black top and black joggers.

He said nothing and just leaned forward. My eyes widened as my brain thought about so many things that my eyes had not even seen yet.

I closed my eyes shut but in the next second, I heard a chuckle. When I opened my eyes, I saw him standing straight leaving me in a weird position.

"Let's go?" he asked with his lips slightly curved up and nodded absentmindedly.

"Yes..."

He smiled and put his hand out. I blinked twice but he took my hand and placed it on his then began to walk away.

"huh" I whispered to myself but I didn't even have time to think before he dragged me away.

Gerard stopped halfway when he saw Diana in the living room. She turned to look at me then I realized that I didn't get the chance to tell him that his sister was the one at the door and not the person bringing my clothes.

"Oh... I... Your sister was the one by the door earlier and not the person with the delivery." I answered even though I wasn't asked anything.

"Ayla... Can you excuse us for a minute?" his expression was cold and he looked different from the person earlier.

"Oh... Okay." I quietly walked away seeing that the environment wasn't conducive besides, I had a lot to worry about.

###

Gerard stared at nowhere exactly while Diana also just stood there not saying a word. She knew that Gerard must have figured out that she had something to do with Ayla's kidnapping the other day but he had it all mixed up. Although she planned to kidnap Ayla, she wasn't the one who actually did it and her men didn't even get to Gerard's house.

'It would be best if I clear the air now before this prolongs and he views me as the threat.' she thought to herself.

She took a deep breath in "Gerard I..."

"Silence!" he looked angrier hearing her voice than ever before. Diana was not sure if this was only about Ayla or someone else.

"Gerard why..." she didn't finish her statement before his eyes turned red and the atmosphere became tense.

She grabbed her chest and felt worried. She had not seen him this angry in years or least, not to her.

Gerard did not move from where he stood but Diana could sense his anger and she knew that this couldn't be only because of Ayla.

Gerard closed his eyes and asked more calmly and gently.

"Why Diana? Why did you do it?" he asked and she bit her lower lips.

"Brother... It was all a mix up I didn't know that she was your mate. I swear if I did, I wouldn't have done anything to harm her even if I didn't like her." Diana explained to him but she didn't get the reaction she was expecting.

Gerard froze in one spot and his eyes slowly opened. It was back to its heterochromia state but she could sense confusion on his face.

"What did you just say?" he asked looking at her puzzled. It was only then that Diana knew that Ayla wasn't even in the equation at all.

Diana sighed. It was now or never. Even though this wasn't what he was talking about, it would be best if she just cleared the air.

"I tried to get Ayla kidnapped." she blurted out and Gerard's gaze darkened. He looked angrier than the first time and even worse, he looked disappointed.

"You what?" Gerard could not hide the disbelief anymore. He thought that what he was mad at her for was bad but it turned out that this was even worse.

"I swear it was before you told me that she was your mate. The men I sent didn't even get to the house before Lucy called to inform you that Ayla was taken," she explained everything, even saying that she sent werewolves and not humans just in case if he doubted her.

Gerard closed his eyes and pinched the space between his brow. He couldn't believe his ears, of all the people who he thought would do this, he never expected that it would be Diana.

"I promise you, brother, I didn't want it to be that way. I was just worried about you and I thought that she was just charming you with her good looks." she wanted him to believe her so desperately but that didn't look like it was going to happen anytime.

She had seen Gerard in the worse state and she knew what he was capable of but she didn't want to lose him, not now, not ever again.

"Brother I..."

"Find them... Only then would I be able to forgive you." Gerard's voice was strangely calm and the calmness in his voice made her tense.

She knew exactly who he was talking about and she nodded. It was going to be difficult but she was going to try to find the real culprit who tried to get Ayla kidnapped.

"Yes, I..."

"You may leave." he cut her short and asked her to leave without even looking at her face for another second.

She nodded and exited the door. It was only after she left that Gerard sighed in relief.

He sighed and walked to the counter then turned a sachet of brown coffee into a mug. He wanted to relieve his stress and a nice hot coffee would do just that.

Suddenly, he raised his head and stopped staring at the coffee. "You heard what she said didn't you?"

I sighed but my expression turned back to normal almost instantly. "What? Did she say something about me? Does she not like me?"

I walked up to him and he turned to look at me. His face was expressionless as he drank his coffee but I could see through his eyes that he was not at all happy.

We stared at each other for a long time but I had to cut it off. "Ah... It's so hot today." I raised my hand and fanned myself a little.

Hurriedly, I went straight to the curtain to open it but my hands were just about to open it when Gerard held them.

I didn't know why the curtains were always dropped and to make matters worse, they always used dark thick curtains. Not just in this apartment but also the big mansion.

"Don't." he was hugging me from behind and I couldn't quite grasp why this was a problem.

"Huh..." I blinked twice then nodded. I left the curtain and wanted to walk away but he held my hand.

"Huh... Do you want to say something?" I asked confused.

"I... Ayla..." his words were breaking and it was as though he wanted to say something but could find the courage to.

"Yes..." I looked at him concerned as though trying to get the words out of him.

'Should I tell her about the curse? That would make it easier and I wouldn't have to worry about her breaking the rules. But what if she doesn't believe me? What would I do then? Would she see me as a man who is just making up excuses?' he wondered.

I looked at Gerard sceptically seeing that he was lost in thought. "You wanted to say something?" I asked to wake him up.

Gerard jerked back to the present "Um... Yes. Why don't we go and sit first?" 'Yes, it would be best if I tell her the truth than keep her in the dark.'

"Okay." I walked to the living room and sat on the sofa patiently waiting for him to say what he wanted to say and after an eternity, he began.

"Ayla, I am..." he was just about to say it when the doorbell rang.

"Oh let me get that. It must be the delivery person." I got up Immediately and dashed to the door.

My head popped out because I obviously couldn't answer the person with just a bathrobe.

"Maam, your delivery." a woman stood there with a big bag. I blinked twice then smiled at her. She came with an assistant and they both took the delivery inside the house because obviously, I wouldn't be able to carry it in alone. Thankfully the people that came were women and I felt more comfortable

"Please sign here." she requested after dropping the bags and I signed and waved them goodbye.

"Gerard, look at all these..." I looked around the living room but he was nowhere in sight.

"Did he have something important to take care of?" I whispered to myself before staring at the bags in self-pity.
