7 Deja Vu

But they of course understood where it was coming from. Kyra's grandmother, who was a mysterious woman herself, hadn't even informed Kyra that she was leaving a billions worth company on her name.

Kyra didn't even know her grandmother was that rich let alone to even imagine that she owned such a huge company.

After all, they lived in a small town, struggling with money every day. Her grandmother worked in a hotel till her last breath as her father was a drunkard and addicted gambler who contributed nothing to the family's welfare. Her step mother and her two children were always harsh on her and never treated her like a decent human let alone as a sister.

After her grandmother's death, Kyra's life turned into a living hell because her father disappeared and her step mother tortured her endlessly till the day she kicked her out mercilessly.

Depressed and clueless, Kyra was about to take her own life and it was when her 'kind' mother reappeared back in her life, offering a home and beautiful life.

Kyra did enjoy her time there and even got bonded with all the new family of her mother's but only to get fooled into writing all the company under her mother's name. It was already too late when Kyra realized the truth. She was already penniless and was sold to human trafficking mob.

Again, she almost ended her own life...

And, it was when her savior showed up. She stayed in his care for months before getting sent to study in Oxford under his sponsorship.

He protected her really well, providing money, emotional support and everything she wanted till she met her adopted family who took her under their wing.

"Kyra baby, are you fine?" Sofia asked, consciously. Just by looking at Kyra's lifeless, hazel eyes, she could tell Kyra was thinking of her past again.

Kyra was startled for a second but shook her head in response. "I am good. Just thinking how to take back what belongs to me," Kyra lied. She is actually thinking how her mother ruthlessly killed her grandmother just for the sake of money and power.

Her grandmother was the only person who loved her back then. She meant a lot to her and it still squeezes her when she remembers that it's her biological mother who killed her..

However, it still amazes Kyra why her grandmother lived such a mysterious yet pathetic life when she owned such a huge company. This is something Kyra ought to find out about and she is sure that it is something complicated .

"Are you really fine, Kyra? Do you have your meds? Should I call Sawyer and ask him to bring a doctor for you," Ryan, her fourth brother asked, his voice alarmed. His sister still has the trauma episodes during nights.

"Don't ask her, dummy! Just do it! Can't you see her face turning pale..huh?" Sofia scoffed.

"Guys… guys, I am really fine. I am not the same Kyra anymore. If I was the same Kyra, I wouldn't have come here, right?" Kyra questioned, her voice back to normal and so was her voice.

"But tell me, what are you honestly doing in my brother's suite?" Kyra asked, diverting the topic which of course worked.

"Oh, that?" Sofia mumbled, her cheeks heating up.

"You are blushing," Kyra snickered.

"I am not!" Sofia denied.

"Your fourth brother is not my type," she added.

"Then who is?" Kyra asked.

"Your fifth brother, of course!" Sofia chuckled.

"This is insane! I and Ian looks same. Why him? Not me?" Ryan who was staying silent all along asked, pouting.

"Hey, looks are not the only thing that matters. Your twin brother is mature, responsible and considerate unlike you who is childish, annoying and irresponsible" Sofia responded.

"I am hot and more charming than him. I am known as the Nation's husband and the hottest, handsome actor!" Ryan complained.

"I am the top model and the epitome of an ideal girlfriend! I also own a fashion brand" Sofia rebuked.

"My sister was the mastermind!" Ryan muttered.

"Back to the point, I think we are perfect together!" he told her.

"Oh, no. Your brother is the world's top tennis player. He is the ideal husband type. Not you!" Sofia and Ryan continued fighting and Kyra couldn't help but chuckle.

She is considering enough to cut the call and give them a space to fight. She knows Sofia loves her fourth brother Ryan and so does he. But these both always fight like a cat and dog; however, the chemistry between them is too evident to any naked eye.

When Kyra thought about the chemistry those both share, she subconsciously thought about the handsome man she met this morning. There was a flicker of sparkle between them but before she could even comprehend why she felt like that,she called him a pervert. She didn't want to, but somehow she did.

It was like her brain and heart were not coordinating that time.

"Why did I get this deja vu feeling for what happened today between us?" Kyra thought.

----------

"She really felt familiar, Nora. I even had this deja vu feeling when I… *cough*...got caught…*staring* at her wa*cough*ist" Oliver told his sister, Nora that night.

Nora, who was laughing at him stopped for a few seconds but then, she laughed again.

"Bro, it's just that you physically got attracted to her! Don't make this look mysterious" Nora told her brother playfully.

"Maybe. All I wish is to keep this shameful act of mine under the sheets forever" Oliver said, massaging his forehead. He didn't understand why but since that incident between him and Ms. Alluring, he started having a headache.

Maybe, just like his sister said, it could be nothing. His headache might be because of the embarrassment he was feeling from then.

"Bro, it's not a shameful act! It's natural for a man to get attracted to a woman. This atleast proves that you are a man." Nora told him, breaking into a laugh at the last sentence.

Oliver rolled his eyes and wished her a goodnight before going back to his room.

He could see that there would be no end to this teasing anytime soon.

Meanwhile, after Oliver went back to his room, Nora's face morphed into seriousness.

She fished out her mobile and made a call. "I want to find out if the person my brother met on the terrace is Kyra Adams, now known as Kyra Alexandra Collins." she ordered.

After that, she wheeled herself back to her room. She has been paralyzed down her waist for eight years now, to be precise, after meeting Kyra for the first time.
