Zyrielle's POV

It didn't make any sense at all.

"Why are you taking me here? I can manage." I replied, trying to stop him from taking responsibility for me.

“I'm not a kept woman, I don't want you to take responsibility for me."

Rain grimaced before pressing the button. "I don't know about you darling but you don't have a choice. I'm taking good care of you whether or not you like it." He replied shocking me to the bone.

I opened my mouth to ask why again. The usual question that I knew was beginning to sound like a broken record.

"You're worth it, that's the only reason I can give you. The only problem I have is my stupid nephew who made you feel lesser than you truly are. You're a beautiful lady who deserves the best things in life." He responded and looked at me quietly.

I felt my cheeks flaming hot at his intense stare. This man surely knew how to sweet-talk a woman which was a huge red flag. I didn't know what to make of it.

    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

    Zyrielle's POV. "He hits you?" I inquired from her softly. "Tell me you are lying Cheryl. I know that this might be a ploy for you to begin your pity party but..." "Why would I lie about something like that? I am a victim of abuse. Why do you think I demanded a divorce from him? I can play you the videos so that you know that I am not lying." Cheryl said. I refused to believe that she was enduring abuse yet never said anything. Well it could be because she wanted to have everything to herself and right now it was backfiring sweetly. "My goodness... Are you kidding me?" I replied, waiting for her to deny it. She shook her head pitifully and in that instant I didn't know what else to do. "I wouldn't lie about something as grave as that. I am happy that he is behind bars but let's be factual, he wouldn't be staying there for a long time. When he comes out, he would only continue from where he stopped and that is where you come in. You will have to help me fight him. It would be our

    Zyrielle's POV. Although a few days had passed yet I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling in my head that I hadn't seen the end of Lucas. He was going to do something one way or the other. I still walked in fear hoping that he was just bluffing and there weren't any nudes on the internet waiting to be released. These thoughts ate deeply into my subconscious and gradually I was beginning to lose my patience. Brenda noticed this because she handled all my meetings with ease and told me to get some rest. It was easier said than done, especially with everything that was going on. A knock drew me out of my thoughts, making me look up. Brenda walked in with a smile on her face. "You have a visitor. Cheryl." She spoke. I wasn't in the mood to discuss with Cheryl despite expecting her after all this while. I knew she was going to come up with something more like an accusation but I wasn't ready to dive into that. I nodded anyway. Putting our meeting off was not going to solve the probl

    Zyrielle's POV.Right at that moment a lot of things went wrong with my mental health. I couldn't breathe properly, I began to think of how the media was going to go agog with the current development. I couldn't even fathom how I was going to be able to walk around except if I to prove that it wasn't me in any of those clips he threatened to pull out. "You must be the most delusional person that I have ever met in my entire life. How do you think this is going to favor you in any way? You came here with the intention to threaten us to do what? Will the company to you?" Rain piped up. I wasn't even sure that he had any videos of me but coming from someone who was this desperate, had this sinister plan before I could even find out, nothing was impossible with him. Lucas threw his head backwards and began to laugh. "I wouldn't give out my trade secrets now would I? I came to make a proposition. It's either you return the shares you bought or I do exactly what I said. It doesn't take m

    Chapter 117. Zyrielle's POV. "Wakey wakey, rise and shine my sweetheart we need to leave as soon as possible." Rain dragged my feet from under the bed making me grimace in mock anger. I definitely didn't mind whatever he wanted from me as long as it gave me peace. "I told you I had a meeting earlier today. Can we take some time before traveling?" I negotiated so that I could sleep in more. "Nope, because I know you don't have anywhere to go. Courtesy of Brenda who has informed me of your schedule beforehand. So what other excuse do you have?" He inquired, making me a bit worried. "Should I be worried about your stalkerish tendencies?" I grinned into the blanket refusing to show my face. He knew what he was doing and I also wanted to beat him at his game. "Yep... That's why I need you to stand and confront me about it. You cannot just allow me to get away with my stalkerish tendencies." He made quotes in the air. There was no winning with Rain. This man was a smooth neg

    Lucas' POV.Cheryl entered my room with a small smile on her face and now I was stunned by this attitude. "Why do you have such a long face? Is anything the matter?" She inquired and I looked around to confirm if she was truly talking to me. "You're acting weird. What's with the newly found attitude? Why are you smiling so much?" I demanded from her. I had a lot of projects at hand and the last thing I wanted to get involved with was making sure that she dampened my mood the most. "Why don't you just keep calm for a minute?" She said, rocking on her feet. "I can't keep calm. I just want some answers from you. How far have you gone with Zyrielle?" "What suddenly makes her your friend? I thought that you wanted me never to talk to her in the first place." I replied. "You warned me categorically to stay away from her so why the useless questions?" She giggled softly before walking towards me. "That was because you refused to defend me in front of your family and watched me get ridic

    Zyrielle's POV. That wasn't going to suffice. "Love doesn't cut it most times," I replied angrily before heaving a deep sigh so that I didn't come across as a problematic fellow. Not a lot of things required immediate action. Sometimes, it was good to leave a lot unsaid so that there weren't any worries."I guess what I'm trying to make you understand is that... I would like my opinions to be taken into consideration. I know that you love me. You might want to pay deeper attention to my needs. I'm not done irrational being that would deliberately want to stir up strife simply because I want to. Believe me when I say that I don't like friction between us... I just hate it when I'm not being heard." I flung my arms in the air.He rolled his eyes at my outburst, probably not seeing any sense in my complaints. Well, that was his business because I was going to state my points. "Lucas is trying to get under your skin and you are simply letting him. I know that you might try to deny his i

His nose flared in anger as the words poured out of his mouth. "I don't think you should care about that," I mumbled out. "Are you kidding me right now?" He inquired from me but that was the least of my worries. "You don't think that I would be worried about you? Worried about my nephew coming here after warning him not to? He could harm you!" He slammed his hand against my desk and I jumped. I fixed him with a blithe stare. "Do you want to kill me?" I inquired from him. "I could leave if you want to express your anger," I added before picking up my bags. It wasn't as though I had much inspiration anyway. "You going nowhere till we are done with this conversation." Now he was getting on my last nerve. "I don't want to have any arguments with you. I just want to take a nap and forget th
