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
Rain's POV. The week has been so hectic, coupled with everything that Zyrielle had been going through and me trying to play doctor so that she would recover quickly or not relapse, so I decided to head to a bar to clear my head before I returned home. "Yo man! It's nice running into you today. We never see you anywhere anymore." Jack, one of my friends said and I rolled my eyes. Of course, he was going to have something to say. "He doesn't look like he's in a good mood," Turner spoke mockingly and I rolled my eyes. I should have known better than to invite them over for a drink. "Reserving a VIP lounge doesn't give you the right to constitute a nuisance." I fired them so that they could maintain some form of decorum. We were outside, and anyone could be taken video. "Why have you suddenly become so serious? I mean, you never liked hanging out with us, but this is weird. You look like you have been through hell." Turner replied I am sure the whole bar had heard my plight. "Why do
Zyrielle's POV. My phone continued buzzing and I decided to give thought to it. Rain was yet to return, so I figured that he could be the only one calling, probably to tell me that he would stay out later than usual. Color me shocked when I saw a video of him hugging Cheryl, from the look of things they seemed pretty intimate. 'Wow.' I mouthed.I chuckled softly. What was I even expecting in the first place from their family? They had a way of piercing one's heart when one was starting to rely on them. This was one of the reasons I didn't want to trust him in the first place. I knew that he was too good to be true. I was feeling like a blatant fool who saw that there was a pit yet went ahead blind through. How could I have been so stupid not to spot the fact that he was only just trying to take advantage of me? I was so foolish not to understand how this worked and now I felt like annihilating myself. This was why he decided not to pick my calls when I tried to reach him because
Zyrielle's POV. I relished the look of naked shock in Freya's eyes. She imagined that she was being laid off. Well it was no longer an imagination, instead it was a punishment for her disobedience to me. I had never prided myself in wanting to see someone gone but this lady had pushed me beyond my breaking point. Rain glowered at her and I could never have been so proud in my entire life of seeing someone reap the consequences of their actions. "you have the guts to speak to my wife in a condescending manner, because I have decided not to send you away just yet. That is very alarming and I need to put an end to it before you get out of hand. I will not condone any form of disrespect to the woman I call my wife no matter who is involved. You better get your things before I finally descend on you." Rain warned her. I whistled pettily because she was not expecting this and it was the same with me. Never had I imagined that Rain would take sides with me. I was afraid that he was go
Rain's POV.I didn't understand what was wrong with her. I mean I did, but right now I was feeling like I was stupid. She already had a bias in her mind and was trying to project it on me which I would dispel with every last breath I have. I saw the disbelief in her eyes despite saying that she wanted an answer, she wasn't actually ready for one. How do I convince such a person who is so sure that I was cheating on her? Coupled with Freya's misbehavior, it felt like just going somewhere to relax and get rid of everything that has been surrounding us since the beginning of our relationship. I was considering letting her go and finding pleasure in whatever she wanted to. It didn't mean that I wouldn't support her in getting revenge and her mother's company if need be. Lucas was going to pay dearly for wronging her but it didn't have to necessarily be in the context of marriage. She was acting as though it was forced, I thought that with everything that I had shown to her, she would a
Zyrielle's POV."Since we are still going back and forth and I understand the place of people trying to get to the bottom of an issue, I just don't want to be disappointed for how long this is going to last and when I can get my revenge. I will be seeing the doctor this week and would not want you to come with me." I told him. This was me trying to cut off things without even moving so fast. He had a lot of things to say to me but was probably hiding because he didn't want to hurt my feelings and that told me that there was more to what he was saying. "You are not still getting my point, Zyrielle. I am not tired of being in your life. I am only tired of being strung along, not only that, you have never shown any form of likeness to me. I am only human and deserve the best out of life. I am not forcing you to tell me that you love me, but I have to know that it is in the works. Right now I am thoroughly confused and don't even know what else to do." Rain's eyes widened as he tried t
