Zyrielle's POV.

Of all the things that could be sent about Lucas, this was the last thing that I would have expected from him. I knew that he would probably be involved in some shady deals but not to this extent. This was problematic, and I thought about it; I probably dodged a bullet. If he was involved in some trafficking like this lady claimed, that meant that my life would not have been safe with him and this was the best option.

At that moment, I was thankful that Rain had saved me. Lucas always presented himself like someone who couldn't hurt a fly and that was one of the reasons I fell for him. How did he grow from having nothing to getting control over my mother's business and still being greedy enough to get into another phase?

"You don't talk about my son that way. If you have a problem with him, you should deal with it instead of trying to pour your frustration on someone who just wanted to have a child. I was the one who pushed for it; now that he is backing out, why don

    Author's POV. The sound of his phone ringing cut his attention from the Zoom meeting he was having. He glanced at his second phone and realized that it was my mother calling. Every time she put the call to him it was always a problem or the other, and quite frankly, he did not have the time no energy to discuss any problematic situation. "Are you with all Mr Lucas?" His Indian partner, Mr Roshan inquired. Swiping a finger across the screen, ending the call, and focusing his attention on the people before me. They were going to produce more results than his nagging mother would."I was only a bit distracted for a moment," he replied to them before looking at the charts that were drawn across the screen. He was yet to answer because he felt like it was not necessary. He just wanted a partnership with them, but they were looking at the long time that he had truly not seen between them. If they had access, why did they not go ahead to find other partners? This was a win-win situation

    Rain's POV. I sauntered into Zyrielle's former house just right in time to see my step-sister pointing at her angrily, and I grew mad. She had no right to speak to her in any derogatory manner. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew that Zyrielle was only trying to focus on the positives and not deal with the negatives right away, I knew the things that I would have done to them. Despite her resistance, I was still very active in bringing Lucas down. His businesses were collapsing and I was buying out all his shares. He had to feel the heat even without me talking. "Nice to see you come into my house uninvited." Melissa began sarcastically but I had nothing to say to her besides the fact that she didn't deserve any form of attention beyond that which she had received. "It's amazing to see you again sister," I said sarcastically. Melissa's gaze took a wild gleam as she realized that she couldn't intimidate me into doing whatever she wanted, "Have you no shame? Snooping around? What

    Zyrielle's POV. "And that's my cue to leave," Zyrielle spoke, seizing that opportunity to leave the house, with a small smirk on her face. Cheryl's face crumpled in shock as soon as they left, she had never imagined in her wildest dreams that she would be facing such. "You got a woman pregnant or what was Zyrielle saying?" She demanded from Lucas whose lips drew together in anger. He never expected her to understand what happened and also did not expect Zyrielle to come into his house unnoticed. "Maxwell!" He yelled, before walking to the door and flinging it open. "Maxwell!" He yelled again.This time Maxwell heard and began to run towards the house, his heart racing with every step he took. This was going to be a problem. He could already see his sack letter placed right in front of him as they let him go. He didn't know how to begin his explanations so that he did not get into trouble. "Tell me why an intruder was in my house yet you didn't deem it fit to tell me," Lucas deman

    Zyrielle's POV. My heart was still racing the minute I settled into the car. I thought of the various ways that things could go awry and how I might probably have not been able to bring myself out of such a situation. It wasn't going to be easy but I had made a conscious effort to find my way and not limit myself to what Lucas wanted me to be. He probably wanted me to be depressed and sad just because I could not have everything I wanted, but that wasn't going to work for me. If I wanted some level of success and revenge, I needed to be focused on my work. "Penny for your thoughts?" Rain's voice cut through my thoughts and I looked up."I want to start making some artwork," I told him and he blinked in surprise. "Tell me that's a lie. I never knew you were gifted in such an area. Is this true?" Rain inquired all at once and I found myself chuckling, forgetting the fact that I was a bit sad."Of course, I had always had a penchant for lovely designs but didn't think it was going to

    Rain's POV.This was my queue to invest in more research so that I could find a solution to her health problems. I would not be able to do anything if she was giving up so soon. There was absolutely nothing that was going to work for her anymore. This would make me relax my resolve and contact Dr Sanchez because he was the only doctor she trusted. Even if it was against my will, I would have no choice but to do it. "Are you angry at me because of what I said?" Zyrielle's soothing voice broke into my thoughts and I looked up. My mind was in disarray as I thought of the possibility of her not being here anymore just before her time. "No, we've concluded that it's not going to come up again right?" I inquired from her. The last thing I wanted was for her to talk about death like it was something trivial. I was triggered when it came to stuff like this and didn't want her to continue making light of the situation I was going to find a way to get her back on her feet. This was one of

    Zyrielle's POV. My visit to the doctor there's no longer so annoying because I now had a sense of belonging. Even if I wasn't going to scale through the process, I knew that they would be a proper guardian for my kids and that alone was able to give me some sense of relaxation. I didn't want a situation where I would have to stress myself so much just to be able to get a point across. "You look very well. I could almost not recognize you." Dr Sanchez joked the minute I stepped into his office, eliciting a smile out of my lips. It was true that the fastest way for recovery was happiness. Rain had made everything easy for me and right now I felt so relieved knowing him. It definitely wasn't easy but I still had lots of peace in my soul. Sometimes whenever I had delusional or suicidal thoughts, I simply remembered that he was not going to take it lightly if he knew what I was thinking about and that helped to solve a lot of problems than usual. He might not know what he was doing fo

    Zyrielle's POV. The weight of the news hit me hard in my chest as I waited for him to finally tell me more. There was absolutely nothing that would stop me from becoming happy because my unhappiness wasn't going to perform a miracle. "Lovely news I must say. Is there any remedy or is it final? Why have you stopped me from going for the surgery? I thought it was supposed to be correctional?" His demeanor changed instantly. I challenged him about the procedure. He was not even thinking about me anymore. I could see that he had anger written all over him. "This is the usual procedure but I was only trying to sugar coat things because I do not want you to fall into depression but now that you are back on your feet, I think it's high time that I told you the truth." He replied sternly. I had never experienced such a dismissive reply in my entire life but I didn't want to take it to heart. He was showing his true colors because he realized that there were no chances with me anymore. It

    Zyrielle's POV. I dropped my bag on the table making me sigh out in fear. Although I might have said that I was not bothered anymore but this was my life we're talking about and there was absolutely no way that I wasn't going to think about stuff. It was just a way of me defending myself before Sanchez so that he didn't find anything against my husband and I. I was of the opinion that if someone was trying his best to make things work, it wasn't our place now to try and pull down his efforts. Rain was trying his best to make sure that I had a perfect life, he probably never wanted me to suffer a day in my life and I was grateful to have such a person around my corner. I didn't want to suffer just to prove what not, it would have been better if there were probably a lot of people around who considered it a bit worthy to show their strength but not me The kitchen door opened instantly and Meg walked out. I was thinking of employing another help so that she could be relieved of her du

  • Accidentally Married To My Ex's Uncle   Epilogue

    Zyrielle’s office was filled with the warm afternoon sunlight, showering a soft glow on the sleek furniture and the framed photographs that hung on the walls. She stood by the window, sipping her coffee as she gazed out at the bustling street below her. It was hard to believe how much her life had changed.Her fashion business had blossomed into one the biggest brands in Wisconsin; you couldn't even walk into a boutique without seeing her clothes. Every major fashion house in the country seemed to want a piece of her, a lot of them offering a large amount of money to have her relocate.She had declined their offers of course. Moving out of Wisconsin wasn’t part of her plan, this place had become her home. Not just that, it was also a matter of pride. She built this business with her bare hands and she'd be damned before she gave it away to strangers.She placed her cup down and walked over to a dress form draped in one of her latest designs. Running her fingers over the delicate embro

    Author's POV.The sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Zyrielle’s studio, painting the room in golden light. The soft hum of her sewing machine filled the air, a comforting rhythm that steadied her nerves. She stood back from the mannequin, her fingers trailing over the fabric of her latest creation. The dress was a masterpiece, an accumulation of everything she had learned and done to get to this point.Her fashion business was finally taking off, and every day looked better than the last. Orders flooded in, collaborations were just on the horizon, and she felt, for the first time in years, that she was finally making progress.And yet, a strange unease simmered beneath all of it.Zyrielle shook her head and glanced at the clock. “Maybe I just need some fresh air,” she muttered, grabbing her bag and stepping outside.The city greeted her with its usual hustle and bustle vibe. The chatter of pedestrians, the distant honking of cars, the scent of freshly baked pastr

    Rain's POVLife had a funny way of stitching moments together—victory, love, and the occasional unexpected twist. Today was a day stitched in gold. As I stood in the kitchen, holding a steaming mug of coffee, my thoughts drifted to the woman sleeping upstairs. Zyrielle. My wife, my anchor, the woman I loved more than life itself.The mere thought of her brought a smile to my face. After everything we’d been through, the surgeries, the sleepless nights, the worry—I could finally breathe again. She was here, alive, and so were our babies. Life felt like it was finally clicking into place, and I swore to myself that nothing would stop me from building the future I’d dreamed of.As I sipped my coffee, my phone flared up on the counter. I reached to pick it up, barely glancing at the screen before answering.“Rain Lark,” I responded, giving my new surname, whilst leaning against the counter.“Mr. Lark!” an excited voice burst through the line. “I have fantastic news!

    Zyrielle’s PovI felt my toes curl up slowly against my cold feet as I gained consciousness. The first thing that came to my senses was the crisp sheets of the hospital bed and the very strong stench of antiseptic.I thought I had gotten accustomed to it by now but it striked me each time.I groaned a little as I tried to lift myself to sit up with my eyes glued shut. My body still ached all over, but I was certainly feeling more energized. For the first time in what felt like weeks, I wasn't drowning in absolute pain.Instead, I felt— alive. My eyes finally fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was Rain, sitting by my side in a cushioned chair.His deep blue eyes were focused on me, his expression a mix of relief and hesitation. He wasn’t touching me, though, just sitting there like he didn’t know what to do with himself.I found that oddly cute.“Rain,” I croaked out, my voice weak but steady. I needed something to drink, I couldn't understand why my throat felt so dry.His li

    Zyrielle's POV. "I want you to tell me if you feel any pains in your body." The doctor told me just before I was taken into the theater. I took a deep breath and watched my husband shake at the thought of me going inside the machine and being operated on. It was a 50/50 chance of survival and we knew what this meant. One of us wasn't going to come out alive and I hope that it wasn't my kids. "Can I speak to my husband before I go in?" I responded instead and Rain jumped at my side immediately. I had never seen him this angry in my entire life and out of his wits. If there was a way he could take away the pain from me and inflict himself instead, he would have done it, and my heart went out to him. Marcus also watched us from the glass mirror and acted as a moral support but it wasn't going to be enough to quench the way my husband felt about this situation. I was certain that he would punch the doctor if it ended up not going well. "I need you to be strong for me and the kids. We

    Rain's POV“Please you have to try”“I understand, Mr. Rain, but my hands are tied. I can't take on a case like this. I'm sorry.” With that, the call ended, and I clutched the phone tightly in my palm.This couldn’t be it. That was the third hospital to refuse to operate on her but I wasn't giving up, not when her life was in danger.I kept scrolling through the endless list of contacts. Each name blurred together, none offering the solution I desperately searched for.“Rain,” my father’s voice broke through the haze, he was also searching for a doctor who could help me. I was glad for his support because I couldn't do this alone. “Any luck?” He questioned, and I shook my head, defeated.“We’re running out of options, I can’t lose her,” I murmured in a pleading tone. “She’s everything to me, my life will be meaningless without her in it”“We won’t have faith,” he assured, his tone firm, though his eyes betrayed his doubts. “I’ve reached out to my network and there's someone who might

    Zyrielle's pov.My head throbbed badly as I regained consciousness; slowly, I blinked back, forcing my eyelids open to the ceiling of the hospital wards.The room was quiet except for the soft beep of the machine and footsteps. I angled my head spotting Rain pacing in the room.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my side made me wince, forcing me to lie back down. "Rain... I called out barely more than a whisper, but it was enough to catch his attention. He froze mid-step, his broad shoulders tense as he turned toward me."You're awake," he murmured rushing to my side. "Finally.""Finally?" I repeated, bewildered. "What do you mean, finally? What happened? How did I end up here?"He didn’t immediately answer, his eyes scanning me as though checking for any signs of injury. His jaw was tight, and for a moment, he hesitated, as if weighing his words carefully. Then, he let out a low breath, stepping closer to the bed."How are you feeling?" The question came out soft, almost too gen

    Zyrielle's pov.No!“No, you're gone”“You wish you could get rid of me that easily.” She gained a knife in her hand. I tried to move and tried to get away but I couldn't move.I was trapped.“Goodbye, Zyrielle,” she sneered, raising the knife and stabbing me right in the heart.“No!” I cried, jolting awake. My breathing ragged and I was sweating profusely.Instinctively, my arm clutched my chest, feeling my heart this rapidly; I wasn't injured.It was just a dream yet why did it feel so real?I felt a nudge by my side and I turned sharply, finding Rain half awake beside me. His arm was draped over his forehead, his brows furrowed even in rest. Reaching out, I touched his shoulder, my fingers trembling."Rain," I whispered, my voice cracking.He stirred, blinking slowly before turning his head to look at me. "Hey, you good?" He asked, rubbing his eyes, I could tell he was exhausted and needed to sleep, but this was important."She was here," I murmured, barely able to get the words ou

    Zyrielle's POV.I shifted uncomfortably in my spot watching Rain clench and unclench his hands on the steering wheel.The tension between us was so palpable you could slice a knife through it, I didn't like the silence between us. I know he was worried still it didn't feel right."You're too quiet," I finally ventured, my voice cutting through the stillness like glass breaking. "Stop overthinking. It’s going to be fine."Rain’s jaw tightened, his eyes fixed on the road ahead as he kept driving. "When we find her it will be fine," he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper."Do you have any support on this? Were you able to convince them to help us out or are you trying to play the hero and do this alone?"For a while, he didn't reply, and I could tell he was battling with whether he should tell the truth or not."I’ve got a few," he finally admitted, his voice flat, devoid of the confidence I’d hoped to hear."A few?" My heart raced. "Rain, this isn’t some game. Janet’s not going t
