Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

Oliver couldn't help but text Kyra. 

'What are you doing, Ky?', he asked her. 

He couldn't help but remember the quality time they had in the hospital. After today, all he wanted more and more was to get close to her and win her over forever. 

He waited for her to answer back but it didn't happen. Seconds turned to minutes and soon it was more than half an hour. Kyra won't take this time to reply as their conversation will be almost spontaneous. 

'Maybe she slept.' he thought and continued doing his work. He has a complex surgery scheduled tomorrow so, he is surfing through the videos of the surgeries similar to the one he will be conducting. 

When he was about to download a video from the hospital's dataset, he somehow ended up noticing that Kyra downloaded the same video a few seconds back. 

'So, she is awake.' he thought. 

'Maybe she wants to focus on work.' he assumed and didn't disturb Kyra any further. However, he didn't forget to send the last message. 'If you have anything to discuss about the surgery, feel free to message or call.'

—------------

Kyra was sitting at her usual place, in her garden patio as she went through the videos of the surgeries to research more about the surgery that has to be done tomorrow. 

Not very far from where she sat, Sofia was sitting, going through the details of the tour she would be busy with from next month. She is a model, a super model in fact, so her schedule will be packed at this time of the year. 

Across them, Ryan sat in a recliner as he worked on his own laptop, so serious that neither Sofia or Kyra made a sound. He was like this from the second they came back. 

Kyra yawned a little and snuggled into her cozy blanket. She was trying to focus on her work as she didn't want to think about the things that happened in the resort. 

"Kyra, sleep." Ryan said. 

"I have some work left." Kyra said.

She already saw the notification of Oliver's message but she didn't reply anything as she is in no mood to do so. She thought he would assume that she was sleeping and leave her alone. But it didn't last long when he messaged her, saying that she is free to contact him in case of queries regarding the surgery. 

She felt bad for avoiding him like this but at the same time she couldn't talk to him like nothing happened. 

"Oliver texted?" Sofia asked when she saw the look on Kyra's face. 

Kyra nodded her head, deep in thought. 

"What do you want?" Sofia asked, a little angry. As she is sensitive when it comes to situations like this, she couldn't control her emotions well. 

"Sofi, he is just trying to help.", Kyra said, tired of everything. Sometimes her overprotective brother and her best friend could be a handful. No one is perfect so she could only take this patiently just like how she enjoys the fun they have together and bathe in the care and warmth they shower for her. 

"I have done some basic hacking on that Jennifer girl's background. So, here is what I got.", Ryan said, stopping Kyra's and Sofia's conversation. 

"Basic hacking??" Sofia chuckled, mocking him. 

"I wouldn't be surprised even if CIA people come knocking on our door tomorrow.", she added as she crossed her leg across her other ankle, making Ryan lose focus when he saw her sexy, long legs. 

He coughed and averted his gaze to only look at his sister who was giving him a 'I know what is happening' look. 

"So..well… I just took a peek into her background and here it is," he said, focussing on his sister rather than the woman he loves who is currently seducing him unknowingly. 

"She is from Russell's family. An aristocratic family who has good connections with Miller's family, another aristocratic family. So, Oliver and Jennifer know each other from their childhood. It is evident because they have studied in the same school and even went to the same university. Stanfords." Ryan told her. 

"As Oliver is older than her, it seems like she followed him everywhere he went. That clearly tells that she likes him.", Sofia butted in. 

"Or, she could have got inspired by him just like me." Kyra muttered. Even though she doesn't know why, she couldn't stop herself from looking at Oliver in a good light. Always. 

"Why do you like protecting him??" Sofia asked. 

Kyra didn't answer but continued to look at the surgery video, well, pretending to do so. 

"She did her internship and residency in the same hospital where Oliver was working.", Ryan continued. 

"So, they are much closer than we expected, hmm?" Sofia asked which both Kyra and Ryan ignored. 

"This is the basic info I could get on her. I asked our third brother, the techy one, to dig a little deeper. And, our brother has sent me some news just now." Ryan said. Their third brother is good at this stuff as he learnt hacking to make it easy and handy during the tough cases. 

Sometimes he runs errands for his siblings as well. Especially if it's something related to his one and only sister, Kyra. He asks no questions so no one would feel awkward…

"What's that news, Ryan? Why are you making that face?" Sofia asked. Ryan stopped talking and focussed on the screen of his laptop and it only made Kyra and Sofia more anxious. 

"Here.", Ryan said and showed the screen to the ladies sitting in front of him. 

When Kyra looked at the picture, she literally felt her heart stop. 

It is Oliver and Jennifer and they are standing in a ballroom. In Stanford university perhaps. And, Jennifer was standing on her toes, as her lips brushed Oliver's lips. 

"See, I told you!!", Sofia exclaimed, her face red with anger. 

"I need some air. Could you leave me alone for a bit?" Kyra asked. 

"But, Ky-", before Sofia could say anything, Ryan placed his hand on Sofia's shoulder and signalled her not to argue any further. 

"We will be at the swimming pool. Call us if you need anything, okay?", Ryan said and Kyra nodded her head. 

"And, we still don't know everything, Ky. Our brother is still working on it as it could be difficult not to leave any traces." Ryan said. 

"Okay.", Kyra muttered and getting the cue, Sofia and Ryan left her to have some private time. 

After she was left alone, Kyra looked at the starless sky. There is no moon and it was all dark and gloomy, just like how her heart is feeling now. 

Maybe because she is too tired or maybe because she is habituated to put herself into sleep at times like these, Kyra fell asleep. When she was in rehab to where she was sent right after she got betrayed by her biological parents to get treated for her depression, she understood that sleeping is the best cure for everything. 

----------------

The next morning…

Kyra woke up in her bed, cozily wrapped in her blanket. As she looked around, she saw the traces of her brother on the couch. He would have slept here on the couch worried that she would wake up at midnight and experience something emotionally bad. 

Getting up, she quickly got ready as she had to go to work. Maybe if it is another girl who is insecure like her, she would have taken a day off. However, as a surgeon she has to be responsible, so she could only keep everything aside and go to work.

By the time she made her way to the kitchen, her brother had already prepared breakfast, Her favorite. 

"You are going to work?" Ryan asked, a little surprised. 

"I must. I have two surgeries on and on. Both critical and urgent." she said as she sat on the chair to dig into her breakfast.

"You need any help, sis? About yes-" before Ryan could speak anything more Kyra interjected. 

"I am hungry and I am kind of late as well. So, sorry bro. Need to hurry." Kyra told as she stuffed her mouth with the pancakes. 

Ryan could only sigh. 

"I will wait for you to talk. No hurry." Ryan said, kissing Kyra's forehead. 

"Maple syrup?", he asked. 

"Coffee would be better.", Kyra said, smiling at her brother. With her friends and family around, she feels a lot better even when her mind is in a mess. 

"I got it covered.", Sofia who just entered the kitchen said, giving Kyra her favorite dark chocolate mocha she bought from starbucks just on her way back from jogging. 

"Woah…VIP treatment. I like it.", Kyra said, as she took the coffee cup on which her name is written with a smiley emoji beside it. It was also written, 'We are here for you'.

"You will get it for as long as you want. We just want you to be happy.", Ryan said, ruffling Kyra's hair dotingly. All he wants now is to pull her sister far away from the sadness that might consume her if left behind. 

"I will be. Don't worry guys." Kyra said as she finished the last bite of her pancake and took the coffee with her. 

"Wait, Ky. I will drop you.." Ryan said, as he rushed towards the other room for car keys.
