Zyrielle's POV. Picking out art pieces had to be the highlight of my day. I was mesmerized, by how seamless this process was. Rain ensured to capture every moment even though I felt like it was too much. Now that I was going through the pictures my smiles widened."You looked so pretty when you were holding that." He pointed out but I decided to be petty. I knew what would happen still I went ahead. "So you mean that I am not pretty on a normal day?" I inquired pretending to be offended. Rain's smile waned the minute he heard those words. "what the hell? Are you kidding me right now?" He inquired from me but I pretended to be truly offended. He didn't need to know that I was only teasing him and wanted him just to be a bit scared. He grabbed my arm but I pretended to shrug it away in anger. "are you kidding me zyrielle? After everything we've been through you think that I do not find you pretty? Is that what my nephew did to your self-esteem?"
Zyrielle's POV."Are you sure he would like me?" I inquired from rain as I reached for my purse. I didn't want to concern myself with impressing anyone, but I still couldn't help but wonder what his father had heard. "It does not change my feelings for you so I don't think you should be worried about anything." He reassured me. "That's sweet but I can't help but to be afraid. Who knows what has been said, question mark. It's not far-fetched if I think that Lucas might have tried to spin some lies." I reminded him. He cast a glance at me before reaching for my hand. "They do not determine how I know my life, unlike Lucas, who is a mommy's boy." He replied with a smile on his face. I smiled at him. "Is there anything wrong with the fact that I want some level of approval from your family? There is absolutely no way that I would want to be in a place where people do not like me. It stresses my brain and I would not want such to continue. So while I know that you do not care, it doesn
Zyrielle's POV."My name is Zyrielle... Rain's wife. Not a lot of people understand our relationship and that's why they try to make mockery of it. Trust me when I say a lot of people are envious of what we have and share but this is not the issue we should dive right into." I said confidently, my chin stuck in the air, as I gazed at every person seated right there They needed to know that their whims didn't work on me anymore, especially Lucas, who was looking at me like he should throw me out of the house. The aged man glared at me, portraying anger at my presence, but I refused to pay him mind. Rain had made me understand that nobody was going to change what he felt or what he wanted to share with me and I needed to take that to heart right now. If they discovered any atom of fear in me, it was going to destabilize a lot of things, and quite frankly, I would not want to be involved in such a situation. He kept on looking at me from up to down, and I smiled while clutching my pu
Zyrielle's POV. Rain threw his head back and began to laugh. "Melissa, do not even allow us to start. He knows better than to disrespect my wife. Contrary to anyone's opinion which I do not think is necessary in the first place, she is not to be talked down on." He directed at her. "I will not tolerate that disrespect from anyone no matter who they are. The earlier you guys understand that the better it is for everyone so that we do not keep on rehashing this issue. I thought that it was supposed to be a dinner, why is the air not filled with spices?" He replied. The women looked at each other, not knowing what to say as an answer. I was sure that they were not expecting him to confront them but what did they think they were? Rain had never been a coward like their beloved son. Melissa was visibly angry but that was the least of my concern. They had to learn how to bridle their tongues so that they didn't get into trouble with me or him. I would never have imagined that they would
Zyrielle's POV. We approached the large room with smiles on both faces yet I had more anxiety than normal. If there was a better way for me to board my feelings, maybe I would, but right now, I didn't even know how to act. All that I could think about was the fact that we probably we're going to have a fistfight concerning her family. But if that was the best way to treat this issue I would take that chance and not even wait for her to start anything. "You have a defensive look on your face. Do you have any problems with me? You look like you have heard some information and now want to retaliate." She pointed out as soon as she turned to stare at me. Well, why wouldn't I do that when I didn't know what she was thinking about me? Or rather, what her grandson has probably told the whole family. "You do not have to be worried when you are here. This is your family too. As long as you get married to my son, then you do not have any problems. If anyone tries to stress you out, kindly
Zyrielle's POVI plopped on the settee as she had suggested and smiled at the beautiful aging woman. She was a beau in her days I could tell from the length of her hair and the richness. Not a lot of people maintained such exquisite charm till this age. "Might I say before you begin that you are one of the most beautiful people I have come across in a long while," I said with a smile that could soften her up. She began to laugh at me, but I caught a pretty blush sitting on her cheeks as she probably thought of my words. "It's been long since anyone has called me beautiful. Thank you for being so sweet." She praised me yet her sadness took over instantly. I would never understand how someone as beautiful as this would be going through such pain, and no one would deem it fit to wipe it away. Why would they even act this way to her in the first place? She looked like a very sweet woman and that was why Rain respected her. "Do not pick up my son's mannerisms. You are already dissectin
Rain's POV.The speed with which my mother jumped back told me exactly what had transpired between both of them. It simply meant that she was gossiping about me and was not even ashamed to do that. "Rain... I was only making your wife understand certain things about you, it wasn't like I was doing anything bad. Why do you look angry? I told your father that this was supposed to be a seamless dinner and the most eventful in a long while but what did he go ahead to do? Probably provoked you didn't he?" Her face turned grim and I started to feel bad for her. She didn't need to stress herself over something beyond her control. My father's actions were only due to what he had heard about my wife and I didn't give two cents about it. His countenance wasn't going to change how I felt about her not even in the least. I wasn't also going to tell them how Cheryl had cornered me in the kitchen just a few minutes ago when I went to look for Zyrielle. "Why are both of you hiding in here when yo
Zyrielle's POV.I grinned in self-satisfaction after Rain had finished plowing through my field."I hope your family does not get a whiff of this because I would be so embarrassed." I smiled at him before buttoning my shirt. This family was perceptive so I was sure that they would know. Yet, I was also learning from him not to care about people's opinions as long as it was not hurting anyone and I had a clear conscience. "That was explosive... I would like to try that again someday." He threw me a casual wink before walking towards me in a predatory mode and licking his lips like he was seeing his last meal. "You are incorrigible. Didn't you just have your fill a few minutes ago?" I demanded from him. He's snorted. "That was then, I want you now. What do you say? We go another round and see what we can come up with?" He said suggestively before unbuttoning my shirt.He stroke the top of my boobs, causing me to have a weird sensation running through my entire body. I had never felt
