Zyrielle's POV. “Ignore her ma’am, she had loved Mr. Duncan since the day she walked in here, I’m sure she didn’t expect him to randomly come home with a wife”. “Please follow me." Meg added, and I nodded. "Your room is that way." "No, she will stay in my room." Rain countered, and I looked at him in surprise. “You can leave us, Amber, I’ll take over from here." He ordered, and she walked away and because of how big the house was, it looked as though they had disappeared, leaving me worried about being alone in this large house. "I'm sure you'd like it, Poccolina." He winked at me, but I shot him a tense smile. "Smile; you're going to love living here, darling." He reassured me. Yeah but for how long? I glanced behind him to glimpse Freya peeping through a room. Why was she peeping at me? I didn't want to engage in any love triangle, so it would have been better if I had just gone away. Rain's cool fingers touched my chin, and I felt a spark run through my bo
Zyrielle's POV. Three hours later I don't know how I manged to do it but I slept… and damn has it been long since my dreams never ended up with me screaming. However after storing and stretching, I opened my eyes to meet his, although busy with his laptop... His eyes must have turned to check in me before meeting my gaze. "You're awake." "And you seem to have been staring, not sure I feel comfortable with the way you stare at me. It's too intense…. Almost as though you wnat to read my mind” “Can you stop it?". He chuckledand asked, “You don't like me staring at youand you think it's weird?” “I on the other hand find that more weird!” I moved on the bed and stared at him blankly "That's supposed to be my line if you ask me," I answered, and he shook his head; I was sure that he wanted to counter that fact but decided against it. “Maybe… you look so calm and peaceful when you sleep, you stirred and I wanted to check if you were okay”. “Are you hungry? Should I get
Zyrielle's POV.Only a few things managed to catch my attention, but as things stood right now. I think one of the greatest ways to determine one should never say never. I walked slowly, trying to stretch my legs not trying to kill myself. "What is that place?" I asked her when we passed a room that was shut with a small tape in front of it. This wasn't an I'm saying where they would tell civilians to keep away from. Freya only nodded, staring at me, but I think she had other things running through her mind because that couldn't be just an ordinary stare. "Is there anything else you want to show me?" I asked her to be sure that she wasn't leading me to my death. Well, that was an exaggeration though. She turned towards me and shook her head. "This is just the room where Mr Rain stores all his paintings." She explained and I was a bit curious to see the paintings he had stored away inside his room. Was he a painter? I wondered. He didn't look like one but who was I to determine wha
Rain's POV.My phone began to buzz in my pocket and I groaned. Talk about the right time to call. I knew who was calling me at this time. "I'm sorry I have to take this." I apologized to her before leaving the room for her to peruse and see what she liked. A part of me was kind of scared that she would leave but I had to just believe that she wouldn't. It was a great risk but I was ready to take it. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and swiped across the screen. "Mandy, what's the problem?" I inquired I hope she had a very good reason for calling me. "I am sorry for calling so late but I just had to remind you of the meeting we have with the Dixons." She replied and I shut my eyes. Dammit, how did I even forget about the meeting? I didn't think I had to think longer. I hissed under my breath. Now I was going to leave Zyrielle all by herself while I go attend to Dixon. He was one of the key players in town. Judging that this was the first time we were going to be having this meeti
Rain's POV. I alighted from the car and watched Melissa Bourne staring at me. I ignored her total existence. She was here for a fight but this wasn't the right time. I made a mental note to order the security personnel not to allow her anywhere near my property. "You know damn well why I'm here." She called while I kept on walking into the company building. Dixon was going to arrive any moment from...I heard a horn and I turned. A strange car was driving into the compound. I knew that it was Dixon. I stared at Mel who didn't utter a word. Dixon's car pulled right in front of the entrance, before he alighted. "Mr. Rain, it's good to see you after a long time." He mentioned and I raised a brow but shot him a polite smile. We didn't run in the same circles. "Good evening to you too, Mr. Dixon." I answered politely before nodding at him. "May we go in?" I inquired. He nodded before following me into the lobby which was still bright as though it was still early. "You have such a l
Rain's POVI sped through the tracks like the hounds of hell were speeding after me. She knew better than to test me, but sometimes, a few people didn't always want to accept their fates. Lucas and his parents were getting on my nerves and I wanted to teach them a big lesson. I drove into the compound with a wide smile on my face. She was going to pay for her stupid actions which would backfire on her. I alighted and walked into the compound instantly. "How shameless can you be?!" I heard yells coming from within the house and I rolled my eyes in annoyance. It was none other than my favorite sister. Mel."I don't understand why you're just hating on me completely.”“For all I know, I've never done anything remotely hurtful to you regardless of how you want to claim.”“If anything, I believe that I should be the one acting this way." I heard Zyrielle respond in a calm manner. Pardon me but my intentions towards this Mel was anything but calm. I believed that certain actions had re
Zyrielle's POV. "Hey, how are you doing, darling?" He inquired from me and I shook my head, staring at him. "You look spooked." "Yeah, I'm spooked because I don't understand what's happening at all. Why did she come here?" I asked him. He looked at me with a small smile on his face. "I don't want to delve into that." He replied and I shook my head at him. "Do you want me to do anything for you?" "No, I don't." "You don't want me to do anything... I forgot to get you what I promised." He apologized and I shook my head softly. "You don't think I mean it?" "I don't know what to think, I mean, I appreciate the fact that you're thoughtful. I don't think you should worry about me." I muttered, really not caring about a thing. "It's fine, I don't really want to eat anything." He glanced at me and headed toward me softly, "That means Amber hasn't given you anything. You need to eat." I was greatly offended by his observation. Why the hell was he saying that I looked like I ne
Zyrielle's POV. My head was still reeling with different scenarios, each of them making absolutely no sense the more I thought about it. I tapped my feet across the linoleum, waiting for a positive response. I wasn't ready to jump into conclusions except he told me what exactly was going on. My eyes were fixated on him, as he walked out and I decided to research what happened that day. Call me inquisitive, but I needed a reasonable explanation. I needed to know it. It just had to happen that way. "Oh, alright... I will send the documents through Mandy. Tell Freda to quickly scan it, why hasn't she still gone home? Contact Marc to take her home." "Good, when you're done, kindly let me know. I await the results. Also remind Dax that I need to see him soon. I won't be taking it lightly with him if I can't get the answers soon." He replied again. "Alright, then. I will see what I can do about it." He answered and walked back toward me. "Good, no mistakes. We need to seal i
