Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

"So, the plan got cancelled?" Addison asked, disappointment evident in her eyes. 

"Sorry, sweety. Your uncle has to cancel because of work." Kyra comforted the twins. 

"How about we three go camping?" Kyra asked, not able to see the twins sad. 

"No. I won't agree to send you three alone.", Ryan firmly said. 

"We four can go." Sofia offered. 

"Still, it's a no." Ryan said. 

Two kids and two adults who bicker like kids. 

This group needs adult supervision.

"Then, you tag along too.", Sofia scoffed.

"I have agreed to be a language interpreter for an international conference tomorrow. I can't cancel on that one." Ryan said. 

Although he is an actor, he is also a language interpreter fluent in more than ten languages. He only agrees to the conferences he is interested in and coincidentally there was one of his favorite conferences tomorrow. 

"As your uncle is refusing to send four of us, we can only make our garden a camping spot. We can fix a projector to watch a movie. We can make a bonfire and we can do everything we decided to do" Kyra said. 

"I am okay with it. What do you kids think?" Sofia asked. All that matters in the vibe for her. As long as there are camping tents, bonfire, barbeque and an outdoor movie night, she is all green for that. 

"I have a better idea." Daniel who just came in spoke. 

He just found out what happened and he thought why not execute his mission from Kyra's side. 

After all, Oliver is being adamant in pursuing her and somehow, Daniel understood why Oliver couldn't let go of Kyra. 

But on the other hand, Kyra is not that determined to get together with Oliver. She just wanted to give it a try. 

Till now, he was trying from Oliver's side because it was less risky. However, he couldn't achieve what he wanted. 

"What is it, bro? The twins were really excited for the camping." Sofia said to her cousin, Daniel as she pouted cutely. 

Daniel ruffled her hair. "I can tag along with you four. Even I need some dose of nature amidst all this stress." he told her. 

Sofia is fine with it but she looked at Ryan and Kyra for their approval. Though Daniel is also a close member, in fact the closest to her, he never bothered to mingle with Collins family much. 

So, he doesn't have a close relationship with Kyra nor her brothers unlike her sibling, Matthew. 

"I am fine with it." Ryan agreed. Though he is close to Daniel, he at least knows that he is a good person and wouldn't harm his sister, Kyra by any chance. 

Kyra contemplated a lot but after remembering how sad the twins were earlier, she couldn't bring herself to say no. 

So, she nodded her head, gesturing that she is fine with it as well. 

The twins looked at each other, disappointment evident in their eyes. They planned this trip so that their aunt Ky and Uncle Oli can bond up. But they didn't think it would turn out this way. 

Now, they can't even say no as it would make them look arrogant and spoiled. 

Meanwhile, Daniel smiled cunningly.

The next morning....

"Sofia, could you let Kyra ride with me for this trip? I want to discuss something related to one of my patients. I can use her expertise." Daniel said as they finished loading the luggage in two cars. 

"Not a problem." Kyra said as she walked towards them. 

"Then, I will ride with the twins. See you at the camping site." Sofia said. 

After getting into the car, Daniel and Kyra discussed some things related to their work. That stretched for half of their journey. 

"Thanks for agreeing to help, Kyra.", Daniel thanked her at the end of the discussion. 

"I would have asked Oliver himself but he is well, you know, busy.", Daniel chuckled. 

"And, I don't know anyone but you in this hospital," he added. Like always, he is covering up his intention with the excuse. 

"That's fine. Just give me a call when your patients come. I will be there.", Kyra said. 

"Thinking of it, how's it going with Oliver? He is acting sneaky nowadays." Daniel asked, pretending to sound as casual as possible. 

"You seem pretty curious about us." Kyra said. She couldn't shake off feeling that Daniel is being nosy and suspiciously curious about her and Oliver. 

For a second Daniel felt a cold shiver across his body. But, he recovered soon. 

"Of course I am curious, Kyra! Oliver is my best friend, only best friend to be precise. And, you... you are my cousin's one sided love."Daniel quickly covered. 

"Besides that, I… I never thought Oliver would be interested in you. Not even in my dreams had I imagined that you both would get together.", he said, carefully weaving around the words. He wants to plant a bad impression on Oliver but at the same time he shouldn't be too obvious as well. 

It of course attracted Kyra's curiosity. 

Why specifically her? Why did Daniel think that Oliver wouldn't be interested in her??

What exactly is the backstory for Daniel's prejudice? 

Noticing her confused state, Daniel smirked inside. Though he wants to continue what he is doing now, he knows that anything excessive could become poison. He doesn't want to slip his tongue and ruin all the effort his boss has put in. 

"Why am I telling all this. Sorry, Kyra… I was thinking too much. It is just that I can't believe he has moved on from his first love now.", Daniel said. 

Kyra took a glimpse at his face and then shifted attention back to her phone. 

"We are not together, not yet. We are still in the phase of getting to know each other and… I don't think it's a crime to move on. Moving on is one of the best gift human were gifted with." she told, looking at the clear sky. 

If not because of this beautiful gift, she would have already been dead or probably have gone crazy.
