CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
Naya could feel the stares of people on her as she walked to their room hurriedly.
She was still in shock at the way Zara reacted, she did not expect any of that.
In fact, she did not expect anything that had been happening, Kai turning out to be Rhys, him choosing her, and then Zara acting up.
“Zara..” Naya called with tears in her eyes as she got into their room.
Zara was seated on the bed, as she looked outside the window.
“Zara..” Naya called in a low voice as she stood behind Zara, who held a straight face.
“Get out, I don’t want to talk to you!” Zara snapped at Naya who looked perplexed, she did not expect Zara’s reaction at all.
Naya’s heart sank at Zara’s words. She had never seen her sister like this before, and she didn’t know what to do.
“Zara, please,” she uttered, her voice pleading. ”
We need to talk about this. I don’t understand what’s going on, and I just want to make things right.”
Zara’s shoulders were tense, and she didn’t turn to face Naya.
“Zara just listen to me already. You shouldn’t be acting up like this. This whole thing is too much for me..” Naya pointed out her eyes brimming with tears.
“You know you’re a two-faced bitch Naya..” Zara said, turning to face Naya who took one step away from her.
“Zara I…”
“No.. no.. wait let me finish..” Zara interrupted standing up from the bed.
“I had high expectations Naya. I feel like a fool right now. Not me fantasizing to be with Rhys, unknown to me that my sister was screwing him…” she scoffed as Naya bit her lips hard, they were getting it all wrong, no one wanted to listen to her.
She never knew Rhys was Rhys or whatever…
“But I didn’t know!” Naya exclaimed, her voice rising in frustration.
“I didn’t know who he was! If I had known, I never would have come close to him or even spark up anything between the both of us, I wouldn’t have come between you two if I had known.”
Zara’s eyes narrowed, and she took a step toward Naya.
“But you did so Naya,” she stated, her voice low and dangerous.
“And you did come between us. And now, everything is ruined. And it’s all your fault.”
Naya’s heart was pounding, and she felt like she was going to be sick.
“Are you hearing yourself, Zara?” Naya began in tears.
“Look at us. We’re sisters. We’ve been through a lot, I can die for you, you can put out your life for me. That’s how much you love me, Zara. But look at you getting angry over a minor and stupid issue..” Naya deadpanned, wiping off her tears.
Maturity was realizing that none of it was her fault, Rhys and Zara were not in a relationship neither did he ever make any advances at her.
“Did Rhys ever tell you he loved you?”
“Did he ever tell you that you’re the woman of his dreams?”
“Did he even ever talk to you!!?” Naya yelled in anger. Zara was acting delusional and out of it.
Zara’s face darkened at Naya’s words, and she clenched her fists at her sides.
“You don’t understand,” she said, her voice shaking.
“You don’t understand what it’s like to love someone, to want them so badly, and then to have them ripped away from you.”
Naya’s eyes widened. “Zara, I’m your sister,” she uttered, her voice breaking. “You have me. I’m not going anywhere.”
Zara’s shoulders slumped, and she sank back down onto the bed.
“You did all of this on purpose. This is what you always do..” Zara muttered as she shrugged her shoulders.
“What do I always do?” Naya questioned in an oblivious tone.
“Steal the spotlight”
“It’s always you Naya, you were always the favorite daughter. Mom and Dad loved you so much, despite me doing everything to be perfect and now you’re just a mute slave girl but you were able to get the attention of Rhys..” Zara pointed out as Naya suddenly went numb, she just stared at her sister, not knowing what to say or how to react.
“That’s not true,” Naya replied, her voice shaking.
“I was never trying to steal the spotlight from you. I never wanted that. All I want is to be happy, Zara. I would never do that, you’re my sister ”
Zara looked at her, her expression unreadable.
“You always say that, but you always get everything you want,” she said.
“Zara, we shouldn’t be talking about this. Everything about Rhys was pure accident. I swear I had no idea that he was Kai. He came to me as Kai and…”
“Stop that cock and bull story Naya..” Zara rolled her sitting up from the bed.
“Don’t tell me you were so stupid never to have gotten suspicious of Kai..”
Naya felt a surge of anger rise up within her. She wasn’t stupid, she wasn’t naive. She was just trusting, and she had wanted to believe that there was good in people. She had wanted to believe that someone like Kai could exist, that he could be genuine and kind and good. And maybe she had been wrong, maybe she had been naive, but she wasn’t stupid.
“I’m not stupid,” she said, her voice firm.
“And like I said it just happened, I wish there’s something I could do to stop all of this, but you also need to stop acting up.”
“You’re angry and want to throw away our relationship because of a man. That’s unheard of Zara and I would never expect that from you. We care for each other too much, that a man we barely know will cause problems between us. We’re bigger than that sis..” Naya voiced out, her head was spinning. She was tired of everything.
Zara looked at her, her expression softening.
“You’re right,” she sighed deeply, her voice quiet.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been so wrapped up in my own hurt and anger that I haven’t been thinking clearly. You’re my sister, and I love you. I don’t want to lose you.”
A tear slipped down Naya’s cheek, and she reached out and took Zara’s hand.
“I love you too,” she said. “And I don’t want to lose you either. We can get through this.”
Zara nodded, her eyes shining. “We will,”
“What are you going to do about this?” Zara grilled curiously.
“I don’t know..” Naya confessed as she wiped off her tears.
“I seriously don’t know what to do Zara. I’m confused..” she sniffled as she ran her hands through her hair.
“I don’t want this. I don’t want to be Rhys’s submissive…” She shook her head, another round of tears flowing from her eyes as Zara hugged her.
“We’re definitely going to find a way. Maybe I can try talking to Vlad and he can talk to Rhys in turn…” Zara reasoned she knew it was not going to be easy but they had to try.
” or I can try talking to him, I’m sure he’ll listen..” Naya stated, that if Rhys really cared about her, he would definitely respect her decisions and from the time she spent with him, she knew he cared.
“You think so?”
“I can talk to Vlad, they’re cousins and…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll try talking to him..” Naya assured, a new ray of hope dawning on her.
“I’ll be back..” she informed before dashing out of the room to go find Rhys.
