For ten minutes, Kyrillos Gazis exc

For ten minutes, Kyrillos Gazis exchanged small talk with the woman who had almost been his mother-in-law. She was seated on a boulder a few feet away from the first row of bushes, looking exactly like she always had except for her eyes, which were a lot warier than they used to be.
As for Kyr, he remained on his feet, his elegance in no way dimmed even though his time working at the fields had left him dirty and sweaty.
Looking at him was more than enough to hurtle Dinah back into the past. And what a humiliating past it was, for everyone, she thought sadly. So far, the billionaire had allowed Dinah to take the lead in the conversation, but she knew there was more to it than a mere sign of respect. No, she knew him better than that, knew it was only the younger man patiently biding his time and using it to study his opponent, as was his wont.
Four years, Dinah couldn’t help thinking even as she continued to babble nonsensically. Four years had passed, and even now, she only had to look at Kyr’s face, see the way it had changed, and the guilt inside her made Dinah want to weep.
How cruel Ana had been, she thought painfully. To this day, she couldn’t figure out what she and Ezio had done wrong that could cause them to produce a daughter without a heart.
And now, there was Pollyanna, Dinah thought tiredly. She was the complete opposite of Ana. Had Kyr noticed this, too? And if he had – was it why he had been spending the entire time with the young girl? Was it all an elaborate plan for revenge?
The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth, and Dinah said abruptly, “Polly still doesn’t know about you and Ana.”
“I see.” The billionaire spoke with his usual cultured drawl, but his tone was a lot colder than she was used to, and it startled her, made Dinah realize that Kyr had truly changed…maybe even permanently. Her guilt intensified at the thought, Dinah remembering the time when Kyrillos Gazis had once been almost as nice as her dear Pollyanna.
She heard herself say then, “I’m still undecided about telling her.”
Kyr raised a brow. “Are your words meant to imply some kind of threat?”
“Of course not!” Dinah was dismayed at how cynical the billionaire had become. The old Kyr would never have thought of that of her.
“Then what do you mean?” His voice was mocking.
Taking a deep breath, she asked frankly, “What are your intentions towards Polly?”
“Intentions?” Kyr’s lip curled. “Isn’t that a little too dated, considering—”
She cut him off, saying sharply, “Not with girls like Polly, and you know what I’m saying is right.”
Kyr’s jaw clenched. Touché. He wanted to answer back, but how could he when he knew the older woman was right? Women like Polly were rare, so damn rare that Dinah was to be commended for daring to stand up to him in order to look after her goddaughter.
Which brought them back to her original question, Kyr thought tautly. What were his so-called intentions to Pollyanna?
Looking away from him, Dinah said quietly, “Do you know we disowned Ana after what she did to you?”
He tensed. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
“We regretted it afterwards and tried to contact her, but she…well, she made it clear that she considered us dead to her for taking your side.”
Kyr’s fists clenched.
“Our lives were never the same again after that night, but then Pollyanna came to us, and she made us remember how happy we used to be. I’ll always be grateful to her for that, and that’s why…” Dinah forced herself to face the billionaire. “I know my daughter’s actions are unforgivable, but please don’t…don’t involve Polly if all you have in mind is revenge.”

****

When Pollyanna heard the knock on the door that night, she jumped to her feet and rushed to open it. Earlier, Dinah had told her that she had a nice fun talk with the billionaire, and while Master Kyr had to attend to urgent business and leave without telling her goodbye, he had promised to come back and join them for dinner.
And now he was really here, Pollyanna thought, and the sight of him had her feeling giddy and breathless. As always, he was the picture of gorgeous perfection and effortless sophistication, dressed in a V-necked light wool shirt with its sleeves pushed up to his elbows and plaid trousers.
“Hi.”
Normally, he would have taken note of her squeaky voice and teased her about having a crush on him because of it.
But this time, all he did was smile briefly, asking, “May I come in?”
It was her first inkling that something was very, very wrong and as the night progressed, the feeling only worsened. Dinner was an awkward affair, with Ezio quiet and reserved, Dinah taut, and Kyr cold. It made Pollyanna wonder about the reason he had always refused to come to the house in the past. Had Kyr and her godparents had a fight before?
When dinner was over, she was about to offer to help with the dishes but Dinah waved her away, telling her to have fun and take Kyr out in the patio.
“The moon and stars are out,” Ezio added.

Selama sepuluh menit, Kyrillos Gazis ditukar kecil berbicara dengan wanita yang hampir menjadi ibu mertuanya. Dia duduk di sebuah batu besar beberapa kaki dari baris pertama dari semak-semak, tampak persis seperti dia selalu punya kecuali matanya, yang banyak lebih hati-hati daripada mereka dulu.
Adapun Kyr, ia tetap di kakinya, nya elegan sekali tidak redup meskipun waktunya bekerja di ladang telah meninggalkannya kotor dan berkeringat.
Melihat dia adalah lebih dari cukup untuk meluncur cepat Dinah kembali ke masa lalu. Dan apa yang memalukan masa lalu itu, untuk semua orang, pikirnya sedih. Sejauh ini, miliarder itu diperbolehkan Dinah untuk memimpin dalam percakapan, tapi dia tahu ada yang lebih dari tanda belaka hormat. Tidak, dia tahu dia lebih baik dari itu, tahu itu hanya pria yang lebih muda dengan sabar menunggu waktunya dan menggunakannya untuk mempelajari lawannya, seperti kebiasaannya.
Empat tahun, Dinah tidak bisa membantu berpikir bahkan saat ia terus mengoceh keruan. Empat tahun telah berlalu, dan bahkan sekarang, dia hanya harus melihat wajah Kyr, lihat cara itu telah berubah, dan rasa bersalah dalam membuat Dinah dia ingin menangis.
Bagaimana kejam Ana sudah, pikirnya menyakitkan. Untuk hari ini, dia tidak tahu apa yang dia dan Ezio telah melakukan yang salah yang dapat menyebabkan mereka untuk menghasilkan anak tanpa hati.
Dan sekarang, ada Pollyanna, pikir Dinah lelah. Dia adalah kebalikan dari Ana. Memiliki Kyr melihat ini, juga? Dan jika ia memiliki - apakah itu mengapa ia telah menghabiskan seluruh waktu dengan gadis muda? Apakah itu semua rencana yang rumit untuk membalas dendam?
Pikiran itu meninggalkan rasa pahit di mulut, dan Dinah tiba-tiba berkata, "Polly masih tidak tahu tentang Anda dan Ana."
"Saya melihat." Miliarder berbicara dengan biasa aksen berbudaya , tapi nadanya jauh lebih dingin daripada dia digunakan untuk, dan itu mengejutkannya, membuat Dinah menyadari bahwa Kyr telah benar-benar berubah ... bahkan mungkin permanen. Kesalahannya intensif di pikiran, Dinah mengingat waktu ketika Kyrillos Gazis dulu pernah hampir sebaik Pollyanna tercinta.
Dia mendengar dirinya katakan, "Aku masih ragu-ragu tentang bercerita."
Kyr mengangkat alisnya. "Apakah kata-kata Anda dimaksudkan untuk menyiratkan semacam ancaman?"
"Tentu saja tidak!" Dinah cemas bagaimana sinis miliarder telah menjadi. The Kyr tua tidak akan pernah memikirkan itu dari dia.
"Lalu apa maksudmu?" Suaranya mengejek.
Mengambil napas dalam-dalam, dia bertanya terus terang, "Apa maksud Anda terhadap Polly?"
"Niat?" Bibir Kyr meringkuk . "Bukankah itu sedikit terlalu tanggal, considering-"
Dia memotong dia pergi, mengatakan tajam, "Tidak dengan gadis-gadis seperti Polly, dan Anda tahu apa yang saya katakan adalah benar."
Rahang Kyr menegang. Touche. Dia ingin menjawab kembali, tapi bagaimana bisa ia ketika ia tahu wanita tua itu benar? Wanita seperti Polly yang langka, begitu sialan langka yang Dinah adalah harus dipuji karena berani berdiri untuk dia dalam rangka untuk menjaga putri baptis nya.
Yang membawa mereka kembali ke pertanyaan awal, pikir Kyr tegang. Apa itu yang disebut niat untuk Pollyanna?
Kamu jauh dari dia, kata Dinah diam-diam, "Apakah Anda tahu kami tidak mengakui Ana setelah apa yang dia lakukan untuk Anda?"
Dia menegang. "Saya tidak ingin berbicara tentang hal itu."
"Kami menyesal setelah itu dan mencoba untuk menghubungi dia, tapi dia ... baik, ia membuat jelas bahwa dia menganggap kami mati kepadanya untuk mengambil sisi Anda."
Tinju Kyr menegang.
" hidup kita tidak pernah sama lagi setelah malam itu, tapi kemudian Pollyanna datang kepada kami, dan dia membuat kita ingat betapa bahagianya kita dulu. Saya akan selalu berterima kasih padanya untuk itu, dan itulah mengapa ... "Dinah memaksa dirinya untuk menghadapi miliarder. "Saya tahu tindakan putri saya yang tak bisa dimaafkan, tapi tolong jangan ... tidak melibatkan Polly jika semua yang Anda miliki dalam pikiran adalah balas dendam." **** Ketika Pollyanna mendengar ketukan di pintu malam itu, dia melompat berdiri dan bergegas untuk membukanya. Sebelumnya, Dinah telah mengatakan kepadanya bahwa ia telah menyenangkan berbicara baik dengan miliarder, dan sementara Guru Kyr harus mengurus bisnis mendesak dan pergi tanpa memberitahu perpisahan, ia berjanji untuk datang kembali dan bergabung dengan mereka untuk makan malam. Dan sekarang dia benar-benar di sini, pikir Pollyanna, dan melihat dia memiliki dia merasa pusing dan sesak napas. Seperti biasa, ia adalah gambaran kesempurnaan cantik dan kecanggihan usaha, mengenakan kemeja wol ringan berleher V dengan lengan yang mendorong hingga siku dan celana kotak-kotak. "Hi." Biasanya, ia akan mengambil catatan suara melengking nya dan menggodanya tentang memiliki naksir dia karena itu. Tapi kali ini, semua yang dia lakukan adalah tersenyum sebentar, bertanya, "Bolehkah saya masuk?" itu firasat pertama bahwa ada sesuatu yang sangat, sangat salah dan berjalannya malam , perasaan hanya memperburuk. Makan malam itu urusan canggung, dengan Ezio tenang dan pendiam, Dinah kencang, dan Kyr dingin. Hal itu membuat Pollyanna bertanya-tanya tentang alasan ia selalu menolak untuk datang ke rumah di masa lalu. Memiliki Kyr dan wali baptis dia bertengkar sebelumnya? Ketika makan malam usai, dia akan menawarkan untuk membantu dengan piring tapi Dinah menyuruhnya pergi, menyuruhnya untuk bersenang-senang dan mengambil Kyr di teras. "Bulan dan bintang-bintang out, "tambah Ezio.
