Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

"Where is Kyra?" Oliver asked after Jennifer and Ron had gone back to their offices. 

He was worried about her. 

She almost got hurt. Seeing her with the knife on her neck, he only knows how scared he was. 

"She is downstairs, answering to the authorities. She will be done in a few minutes." his uncle said, patting his shoulder. 

Oliver nodded his head and his eyes shifted towards the elevator, as if he was waiting for the door to open so he could expect Kyra. 

"She is fine. You don't have to worry about her when hurting her physically is not so easy. Her brothers tried to make her as strong as possible, be it emotionally or physically." Oliver's uncle, the president, comforted him. The worry in his eyes is that evident. 

"I will have to thank her brothers for teaching her self defense to that extreme. She was really awesome." Oliver said with a smile. The adoration and admiration sparkled his eyes and a smile made its way to his lips. 

He can never forget how Kyra has fought with those people. She was spectacular abd he must say that it is the version of her which shone with a deadly beauty. 

Her moves, her calculated attacks, they were up to the point that she could be treated as a professional fighter. 

Her first brother is in a high military rank and everyone from her maternal side family are from the military. They should have provided her with this level of coaching and Kyra should have worked equally hard to reach their expectations. 

She never fails to surprise him. 

Firstly, he found that she is the famous and mysterious painter, The passion. 

It surprised him but it was not unexpected. As a surgeon her hands are at their best level and she was passionate about paintings from her childhood. 

Very shortly after that he found out that she is the president of the company LK groups, the new company that is growing exponentially and is making wonders. He was surprised but he didn't mind it unexplainable. 

She has that caliber and capacity. Moreover, business administration was her minor and she had her brothers to give her extra knowledge. She found the best people for the collaboration and partnership. 

Now, this. She is a skilled fighter. 

What next?

"Look at you. The love in your eyes is brimming out." his uncle teased, bringing back from his reverie. 

"She was awesome. There is no way to deny that." Oliver said. 

"That, she is. She is Collins after all. Did you see anyone in that family who could be deemed as ordinary?" his uncle said. 

Oliver smiled in agreement. 

She is not a Collins by blood but as she was with them for years, she got motivated to reach the pinnacles in whatever she does. 

"Now, tell me how your relationship is progressing. I didn't get to ask either of you about that because of my hectic schedule." his uncle said as they walked beside each other to the office room. 

The patient will be shifted to his room soon. Till then, they could go and have some fresh air. 

—-------------------

"Thanks for saving my dad, Ky. If not because of you, he would have been in a critical situation." Matthew thanked Kyra. They are currently at the canteen, drinking coffee. 

Kyra didn't speak anything and nodded her head. She didn't like how people were looking towards them. She hates attention. 

However, all thanks to Matthew who doesn't like being low key. Dressed in a Brioni suit, one of the expensive suits, he was emitting the aura of a noble, handsome man. Who wouldn't be attracted?

'He is Matthew Richards, the heir of the Richards family.' a passing nurse whispered to her friend. 

'What is he doing with Dr. Nerd?' her friend asked. 

Kyra's nickname is doctor nerd not only because of her looks but her character as well. She is one of the best fellows the hospital has ever seen. She is almost as knowledgeable as an experienced attending physician. Besides doing her work, she doesn't care about other things. 

She is either busy in the surgery room or in front of her laptop, doing her research or reading the papers and publishings. 

'I heard she saved Mr. Richard's father who is in the operating room just a few minutes back.' her friend, the nurse, replied. 

'There were cops sometime back. Do you know what happened?, her friend asked. 

'Something related to Mr. Richards. It's confidential but I heard our Dr. Nerd handled the situation smartly and averted the crisis. That's why Matthew Richards is treating her for a coffee.' the nurse replied. 

'She is lucky' her friend said dreamily as she looked at Matthew. 

"Can we finish this coffee somewhere else?" Matthew asked. He knows that Kyra hates crowds especially when she is at center of attention like this. 

Kyra nodded her head. "Follow me." she said and they left the public cafeteria. 

They walked to the spot out in the garden which is mostly used by the neurology department, tactically. 

"Did you listen to that conversation? They called you lucky just because you got to talk to me." Matthew said, pleased to hear that. 

"Don't let them get to your head. They were just exaggerating." Kyra said. 

"They didn't exaggerate, Ky. I am clearly the cream of the crop." Matthew said, giving his signature smile. 

"Narcissist.", Kyra said and rolled her eyes.

Matthew just laughed and finished his coffee. 

"Ky." he called her. 

"Hmm." Kyra hummed in response as she took the sip of her coffee. 

"One chance." he said. 

"What chance?" Kyra asked. 

"One chance to let me show you my love." he said looking at her expectantly. 

Kyra stopped and looked at him. 

"Don't make this awkward, Matt. Can't we just be friends like how we are now? I don't want what we have to be spoiled." Kyra said. 

"We are not spoiling what we have now. Can't we be friends and be in a relationship too?" Matthew asked. 

"You promised not to bring this again, Matthew. Didn't we sort this out?" Kyra asked. 

"We did. I agreed to your condition only because I knew I can't spoil the friendship we have. You will be my fianćeein future and I knew that you needed time. But after seeing what happened just now, I realized life is short and many unexpected things happen in the meantime. I can't wait till the day our engagement will be official." Matthew said. 

Kyra sighed. 

"The engagement, it… though it is not annulled, it is not fixed yet. Didn't our parents agree that they would leave it to us? If any of us are not happy with the marriage they promised, it is void. And… didn't we agree that if both of us are single even after three years, we can consider it?" Kyra said. 

She can't hurt him and at the same time she can't agree as well. 

As she is in a relationship with Oliver and it is, in fact, going very smoothly, there are very high chances that she would be saying no to this agreement their family had. 

"Three years. Fine. What can I do? Everyone in Collins' family is stubborn and strong headed. I can't win over them." Matthew said, forcing a smile. But disappointment was evident in his eyes. 

"Anyway, thanks again, Ky. I owe you for saving my dad." he added. 

"You don't owe me anything. Uncle Richards is like a father to me. And, I am a doctor so, saving the patient in need is my responsibility." Kyra said. 

"You didn't tell my sister right?" he asked, diverting the topic to bring it to hide the sadness he is going through. 

"I didn't tell. Sophia and Lisa are on a tour right now. They left this morning. They decided to visit around unexpectedly." Kyra said. 

"That's good. When will they be returning?" he asked. 

"Next Sunday, probably. They might extend but there are no chances they would be returning before that." Kyra said. 

Matthew nodded his head. 

"I will be going then. I need to return to work." Kyra said. 

"Sure. I will see you after work." he said. He got rejected again but it's okay. He can wait for three years if it is her. He is confident that Kyra wouldn't fall in love with another man. 

"I will visit uncle later. He will be shifted to a room soon. I will take my leave then." After saying so Kyra left. 

She walked to the women changing room. She has to change into her normal clothes yet. After what happened, she didn't get a chance to change. 

Just when Kyra took off the top, the door opened and Jennifer entered the room. Kyra didn't react much as it is common room surgeons and doctors use. 

But Jennifer…

She couldn't help but widen her eyes. 

There is a hickey on Kyra's shoulder. It is obvious that it is a hickey. 

Having a hickey is not something to react like this as they are adults and these things are normal to do. 

But, she has just heard the conversation between Mathew and Kyra. 

Kyra lied that she is single and they could wait for three years before thinking of their engagement.
