Zyrielle's POV. Freya walked into the house with her hands filled with groceries. There was an unusual preparation around her and I wondered why she was going to this length to get dinner ready. She hummed as she passed by without thinking of greeting me which I didn't think was necessary anyway. "Why have you been acting weirdly lately?" I inquired from her as she breezed past me. I wasn't even expecting her to be so rude. It was almost as though she had a personal vendetta with me but was unable to air them. I got scared whenever I was around her vicinity but didn't want you to show because that will give her an upper hand and with the way their boss treated them, they were bound not to regard any one they metFreya skidded to a halt before turning to stare at me as though I had no right to talk to her. This was not the way everyone behaved but I guess because of the leniency she didn't know her place anymore. "Yes you, I am asking why you have been humming and acting like a ri
Zyrielle's POV. At eight p.m, I was waiting with a cake in hand, hoping that Rain was going to come in right on time and we were going to begin our conversation fully. Although Meg had told me a lot of things, I still didn't want to believe that Rain wasn't who I thought he was because of Lucas.Call me prejudiced, I accept but I was more than scared of losing everything that I had worked for, because I was trusting a man. Meg's advice kept resounding in my ears and I felt awkward but knew deep down that it was a solution to most of my problems. I had to see a therapist to be free from the damage that Lucas had caused in my life. This wasn't exactly what I was looking for but I would register for a session, that would have to be much more after my surgery. Despite how things seemed, I was sure that there were a lot of things to be put in place.Rain walked in tiredly with his briefcasing and I felt bad for the way I had been treating the unsuspecting man. He wasn't the cause of my
Zyrielle's POV. I decided to fold some clothes to get my mind off the story he had told me. He didn't need to go much into details for me to understand the gravity of what was happening to him. I could figure it out already. "Hey, here you are. There I was thinking that you weren't around. Is everything okay?" He poked his head into the basket. "Why are you doing that, Meg is here to take care of it." He spoke and I nodded. "Are you sure you are actually okay?" He inquired again and I nodded. I didn't know why I was feeling so emotional it wasn't like he was also feeling that way, I just felt for him. Blame it on the pregnancy hormones. It had a way of messing with people's emotions. "I was waiting for you down stairs to have a bite of the cake you baked, which is really delicious by the way." He complimented me and I chuckled. "What? You don't think it's true?" He inquired and I chuckled again. "I wouldn't call myself or professional in the baking industry, I just watched a cou
Rain's POV. She backed up instantly and I burst into laughter. That was exactly how I knew she was going to react. It was lovely to understand her person because she was as unproblematic as they came. "That isn't part of the script now is it?" She inquired and I laughed. I hadn't laughed this much in my entire lifetime but she was making a really good impression and I didn't want to stop her. This was more than I had hoped for.It was surprising how things were falling in place without me having to do too much. She would back away the minute she noticed me trying to do something like convince her to stay with me."Have you any idea how much I've been longing to do this?" I decided to tease her further. She glanced at me as though I was losing my mind speaking about my desires. "I don't roll that way." She answered politely. "I was only kidding." I tried to pacify her because she was getting hot at my idea of trying to take advantage of the situation. "I need to take a shower. It
Zyrielle's POV. "Funny how we run into the least expected people." I heard a screeching voice behind me and I rolled my eyes. It was the one and only Cheryl. What were the odds of running into her at this time? Especially at this place? I felt like there was more to her being here. I was only here to do some baby shopping due to Rain's persistence. He was more optimistic than I was about the delivery of this child and wanted me to have the total experience of birthing a child into the world. "Is this actually what you are here for?" I inquired, she looked every inch as tall as I used to be before getting pregnant and sick. Very elegant and looking so innocent that one wouldn't know that she could cause some harm. She squinted at me, pretending as though I was not existent but I had no choice whatsoever than to watch her carefully until she was done pretending. I wasn't going to get sucked into the rabbit hole of arguing back and forth with her without having anything to show forth
Zyrielle's POV. I faced Lucas with a small smile on my face. He was trying to get on my very nerves but I wasn't going to allow that. It was a long time coming and I had to maintain an utmost indifference to whatever he was trying to do. "Have you also decided to start stalking me now? I know that you might have missed having me around but this doesn't make any sense. You are here to shop, why don't you do that and get out?" I inquired from him He was surprised at my dismissive reply. They wanted me to get into a word battle with them but it wasn't going to happen. "Is this what Rain has been teaching you? To forget that you once had people who helped you achieve everything that you possess today. It is a sign of forgetfulness when people suddenly become more than they thought they could. I don't blame you at all because it's just a response to what I should have known you would do." I was tired of having this conversation and looked around. This was the time I really nee
Zyrielle's POV. "Hi Dr Sanchez." I greeted as soon as I entered his office. He didn't respond as usual but only shot me a smile. "It's good to see you again Mrs Duncan." He answered in a measured tone, causing me to restrain my happiness. Rain had decided to come with me into the doctor's office so that he could hear what he had to say for himself. I knew it was just an excuse so that he could ascertain how Dr Sanchez loved me so much. This was still foreign to me. Their rivalry was subtle but I could spot it now that I knew. "Good day Mr Duncan." Dr Sanchez spoke in the professional tone brooking no form of familiarity. "Good day Dr Sanchez. It's good to see you again." He responded in an equal matching tone. I felt like sighing because this man was going to make this examination very difficult for me to concentrate on. "Can I have a moment with you Dr Sanchez?" Rain spoke and I shook my head. "I promise it won't be for long. If you can just spare me a little time, I
Lucas's POV. Walking down the aisle with Cheryl didn't seem like a very good option at the moment with the way she had taken it upon herself to frustrate the energy out of my life. Although she didn't see it as a problem, I couldn't cope with such an intense amount of nagging anymore. "Why would you even say that I caused you problems? This is just something we can resolve calmly." She continued yapping. I tuned her out of my mind as I focused on my next move. I didn't want Rain to see me coming. I wanted to take him unaware so that he stopped gloating. "Are you even listening to me?" She asked. I looked up and heaved a sigh. Cheryl was going to be the death of me. "Why have you taken it upon yourself to frustrate me?" I answered her speedily. She wore a shocked expression but I refused to give in. "Why would you even say that?" She asked but I shrugged. "I have been nothing but sweet to you. Ever since you saw Zyrielle again you have been acting strange. If anyone
