“Lyla”Ivan called and she disengage from the hug reluctantly.
Ivan was so surprised coz he went to her chamber to confess that he doesn’t have any feelings for her but she hugged him immediately he entered.
“Lyla, I have something to tell you”He started.
“What is it? Are you here to tell me that your parents want to see me already?”She smiled.
“No, not that”Ivan smiled forcefully.
“Oh, what is it that you want to tell me?”She asked.
He move two steps closed to her and held her hands.
“I know I’m a jerk and that is why I don’t deserve your love. I tried very hard to love you, I tried very hard to think about you but I don’t know what is wrong with me? I think I’m being possessed…”
“Ivan go straight to the point”She snapped.
“I don’t love you”He replied and she sighed.
“I thought you wanted to say something important .You told me already that you don’t have any feelings for me but I can assure you that you can later love me”She winked.
“Lyla that is the truth, I don’t love you”He snapped then, Lima entered.
“Who do you love then? Who else do you love if you don’t love my twin sister?”Lima fold her arm under her bòòbs.
“Why did you enter without knocking? Why did you tell the guards not to announce your arrival?”Lyla asked angrily.
“There is no need doing all of that, you are my twin sister and I can come to your chamber anytime I want or are you hiding something away from me?”Lima asked suspiciously.
“Of course not”Lyla roll her eyes.
“Lima help me…”
“She can’t help you with anything! You need to tell us the reason why you don’t want me!”Lyla yelled.
“I said I’m in love with another person!”Ivan yelled.
“Who is the person? At least I need to know the person you choose over me”She snapped.
“You don’t need to know the person and if you know the person, I’m afraid that you might feel sad and I don’t want you to be devasted”He explained.
“I’m sad already! Do you think it is an easy task to stop loving someone you are already addicted to? Besides, I will be at ease if you just let me know the person you are willing to spend the rest of your life with”She replied.
“Lima”Ivan called.
“What?”Lima asked with a raised eyebrows.
Ivan shrugged before walking out of Lyla chamber.
“What just happened? Don’t tell me he have feelings for you?”Lyla lips started trembling.
“Arrrrrrrrghhhh”She screamed and Lima rush to her.
“Go”She push Lima away.
“Lyla get hold of yourself, it is normal for him to have feelings for me”Lima snapped.
“Go away! I don’t want to see your face! Traitor!”She screamed.
“Traitor? That title is meant for you Lyla”Lima hissed and walk out of her chamber.
She bumped on Ivan at the entrance.
“What are you still doing here?”She asked with a smile.
“Why did you do that to your sister? Why did you enter and bring that topic? I know she did not want to ask for the person I’m on love with. You spoil everything!”He yelled.
“Really? I have no idea”Lima pouted.
“Why do I feel like you are lying”Ivan snapped.
“What are you going to do about it? Remember you are in love with me now so, watch your mouth”Lima snapped back and he gulped down nothing.

“I want us to be friends”She smiled.
“I will really love to do that but I can’t”She smiled and made to walk away but the girl stop her.
