Chapter 73 - LUNCH

"I'm fine, promise! You don't have to worry about me at all!" She uttered loudly, Alvan put his hand on her eyes before turning on the television and changing its channel. She says that but he doesn't believe her at all, she might not even see the comments and reactions of the people outside that's why she's still calm. And that was fine, it's better to be this way. 

"I see... If you are fine then I am too." Alvan said after changing the channel to a kid's TV. He put down his hand and faced her. She frowned as he looked at his smiling face. Handsome, smiling face. She can't afford to get mad at all. 

"It's your favorite show, come on, I'll feed you." Alvan led her to the couch and sat her down. He took the plate from her and sliced it to feed her. 

"Is it over?" 

"What?" 

"You're exaggerating?" He smiled and quickly kissed her frowning lips. "I guess it is." She opened her mouth and ate a spoon of cheesecake. 

Alvan gaped at her lips and leaned to kiss her again but it was only a light brush of skin. 

"Stop kissing me and eat too. Did you sleep? You look tired." Alvan shook his head as an answer and spooned another cheesecake and fed her. 

"I'm on a diet, you eat it, here." He placed it on her mouth but she kept her lips tight close. "Eat ah-! Ouch!!" He was suddenly attacked with her small hand, pinching his pectoral. 

"Diet-diet! Stop dieting already, your body is already oozing hot, how do you even develop muscles if you don't eat?"

"Protein shake?" He laughed, "As actors, you know that our face and body are our selling points."

"But you're already rich."

"Well, I have to take care of my figure If I don't want you to like that bastard doctor or my hypocrite brother more." He said seriously and pulled her body to hug her waist. "So, like me more, and I will eat." He whispered on her cheeks guilelessly. 

"I'll think about it." 

"Rym! Fine! Don't eat! I'll starve!" She laughed at his childish reaction and pinched his cheeks.

"Oh my gee, how old are you Mister Alvan huh?" Yanarym said, still laughing and squeezing his cheek. He glared at her and she bit her lips to stop.  "All right, I like you better than Alyx." She smiled seeing his lips lifted to form a smile. 

"Then, who has a greater body?" He asked confidently and flexed his biceps at her. But she remained quiet for too long. When he looked at her, she seemed to be contemplating whether to answer or not. "Rym, who has a greater body?" 

"... Kane." She mumbled to the air which made his mood distraught. 

"Whatever!"

"Alvan! Hahahaha! It's true!"

"You can lie to make me feel better!"

"Alright, alright! Your body is better, sexier, most handsome, smart, sweet! I like you the most, okay?"

"Tch! Feed me." He smiled and tossed his arms to her waist.  

"So childish," she chuckled and took the spoon and fed him like how he wanted. 

After a few months of preparation, Alyana decided to publicize the information she had gathered and revealed it to the world in one go. Since her life was already in the ruins, she won't be going down alone. Her messy fate, she won't be the only one who'll have it. 

She smiles as she watches every news broadcast on the internet and television about them. They are destroyed too, especially Yanarym! She clenched her fist as she remembered what had happened to her, she's been kept hiding like a criminal! When the only thing she did wrong was to reclaim what's rightfully hers!

No one could understand her, even her parents. Earlier, they called her to ask her regarding her condition and if she was alright or having bad days. Alyana was too irritated by the question and angrily blamed them too for her misfortune. If only they were as wealthy as before she doesn't have to go through a lot of this misery. Her father rebuked her after another outburst, he ended the call and until now, she wasn't calling back to ask for an apology. Whatever, none of this was her fault. They all sent her to this wretched life. 

She went to sleep because the personal assistant of hers kept missing out on her schedule of eating, and she wasn't in the mood for anything since the day her life was wrecked so she didn't mind. However, when she woke up, she was in an unfamiliar room with a hooligan, tying her hand.

After having cheesecake for breakfast, Yanarym and Alvan went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"You just ate, now you want me to cook for your lunch. You even finished the entire cake." Alvan casually said and ready the ingredients for her requested lunch, fried chicken with lots of gravy. Compared to when he first arrived at her condo, he calmed down a lot by interacting with her. As expected, whenever he's with her everything seems to be okay. 

"Early birds catch worms." 

"Other than fried chicken, what else do you want?" He asked while rinsing the rice on the sink. 

"Anything that you can cook." He put the rice cooker on and moved it to the refrigerator. 

"Pork, fish, shrimp, or vegetables?"  he asked seriously while staring at the ingredients in her refrigerator. Contemplating a dish that would be healthy for her. 

When she didn't answer, he shifted his attention to her and saw that she was occupied with junk food that he didn't know where she had found. As far as he could remember he took all of the unhealthy snacks to her kitchen two days ago. 

"Hey! Don't eat that! This is not good for your health!" He scolded her while grabbing the junk food from her hand.. She tried tiptoeing to get back her snack but his arms were too long for her to reach.
