Chapter 56 I’M NOT A TWIN

• “Kiara, is that you?” He ran up to me giddily, holding my chin in his palms and staring into my face as though he'd just retrieved a lost item. Slightly, I turned my head sideways and exchanged a quizzical glance at the head of maid's and with the look on her face, it indicated she was also surprised. “Look at me Kiara, tell me, where have you been? I was really worried about you, I thought I lost you” As he said these words in a row, tears had blurred his sights and I became more frantic. 'He has probably mistaken me for someone else' I opened my mouth to say something when he suddenly pulled me into his chest, my eyes widened in disbelief as I froze in his chest. What's wrong with this man?
• I made to break free from his embrace, but his arms around my neck and waist were so rigid, which wouldn't allow me to move a muscle. He began to caress my hair and while he did that, he kept on murmuring into my ear. His breathing was a little heavy. I was at a loss of what to do, so I just shut my eyes and stayed in his chest quietly. “I missed you so much Kiara, promise me not to ever leave me again, please” This time, I could feel liquid dripping on my shoulder. I groaned inwardly. Where on earth is Granny? However, his next movement really took me aback. My mind exploded turning my world upside down, my eyes popped up in puzzlement and incredulity nearly unplugging from its socket. I reached out my hands to push him away, but my trial only resulted in a more brutal kiss from him, leaving no space for me to breathe or speak. Soon, I was able to pull myself out of his wild kissing, I crossed my heart and bit down hard. I turned sideways and there was no sight of the head of maids. “Kiara…” He reached out his hand to touch me again, but I rapidly moved back, leaving a considerable gap between us. “Why would you do that, sir?” My voice was very low and had no confidence in it. “I permitted you to embrace me all you want, but how could you kiss me without my consent, and to top it off, we barely know each other” His face sank as soon as I finished my words. He got to where I was standing, held my arms, and shook me vigorously.
• “What happened to you, babe? It's me, Alexander, it's me” I stared at his face, his eyes were full of longing, and I was beginning to feel compassion toward him. “Alexander?” Hearing Granny's voice, I swiftly looked in the direction her voice blared from, however, she was already approaching us step by step with the head of maid following her in tow. She reached where we were, looking from my face to her grandson's, but this whole time, his intense gaze was lingering on my face. “Why are you holding Amelia like this, have you two met before?” Granny quizzed, I shook my head directly. “No granny, I've never met him before,” I told granny, shaking my head vigorously. “What, Kiara?” I took my gaze back to his face. Again, tears had pooled into his eyes. “Why are you doing this to me, Kiara? Why do you keep refuting me?” He asked in a trembling voice, I shut my eyes instantly, 'God, what's this?' “Let go of her arms, Alexander” Granny instructed, trying to pull his wrist away. “No granny, no. This is my Kiara, leave us alone, she's only playing a prank on me” He asserted, pulling me into his chest again.
