Zyrielle's POV. I was sure at this point that my heart began to beat as fast as a traditional drum, when the handlers were going to war. This was difficult to describe because as much as I stared at Dr Sanchez, I felt an unworldly feeling in my chest. I just knew that he was about to deliver bad news to me but the problem was that I didn't know how I was going to react but I finally heard it. "All right so after all the tests have been conducted we are sorry to announce to you that you would be needing to undergo surgery so that your child can live. It's a rare recurrent growth in your stomach lining and it needs to be carefully operated on so that there are no mishaps whatsoever. It might cost a lot but I think it's better if we take it out instead of trying to see what else could be done about it." He suggested and I nodded. So it was final, I was going to be having surgery if I wanted my child to live. That also meant that my chance of survival wasn't that high. "So are you sa

Zyrielle's POV.All of Rain's attempt to get me to speak to him was eternally futile. This van deeper than just offering an apology to get me quiet. After dealing with a narcissist, this was the last thing I wished on myself. To be with someone who saw me as an object that had to be kept in his custody because he didn't trust anyone to be good around me For some people, they would enjoy the show of possessiveness but I knew what I wanted and this wasn't part of it. We were just a few weeks in marriage and he was already showing all the green flags that I ignored when I was with Lucas. "I have begged you as much as I can, yet you keep remaining adamant. This leads me to think that this isn't really about the situation. You probably have something in mind against me right from the start and this is the appropriate way to let it all out. I was jealous, I admit, but giving me the silent treatment is completely out of this world. I would never imagine staying in the house with a person w
Rain's POV. The past few weeks had been a roller coaster and I had not had any experience with this in my entire life. I was having a hard time finding balance between work and dealing with my strained relationship with my beloved wife.She had been moody the past few days and tried as I might to understand what was actually going on, everything I did proved wrongly futile. She was going through something which I couldn't place a finger on. The surgery had to be postponed, which was a bit weird for me to comprehend. This was the same Dr Sanchez who spoke about us having it as soon as possible. A knock on the door had my head springing up high and looking out of the office.Ariel, my new secretary, smiled at me, "sir, I brought these files for you. Mr Anderson says that you should confirm these transactions." She spoke and walked into the office. She was always smiling and sometimes I wondered why she never felt the heat of working with me. "Sir?" She called again and I raised my
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 “Mrs. Bourne, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” an unfamiliar voice said, pulling me out of my reverie. “Dr. Sanchez?” “She isn’t in today, so I’ll be your doctor for today. I am Dr. Leo,” he stretched out his hands, but I ignored it, causing him to chuckle lightly. My heart had been thumping hard in fear. I didn’t know what to expect, as it had been over fifteen to twenty minutes since I was asked to wait. “Are you…” he started, staring at me before adding softly, “I’m here for the results,” I said, pulling him back to the present. “Yeah, right. Back to the results. I do have bad news and good ones, of course,” he said, smiling softly at me, perhaps to clear the already tense air. But I was in no mood to smile. All I needed right now was to know what was wrong with me before it broke my marriage completely. Lucas wasn’t coming home, just like the past few weeks. He had sent me a message to check on myself, as I had been looking malnourished despite t
Zyrielle’s POV “Cheryl, baby.” His moan suddenly rang. I pushed in my tracks, This wasn’t happening to me! Cheryl Walker, his model ex, had broken him and his business before I had stepped in. As though under the influence, I walked back into the room and pushed Lucas off before carelessly hitting a naked Cherly. “You slut!” “YOU FUCKUNG LEFT HIM WHEN HE NEEDED YOU!” She didn't get to waltz back in and style all I had put into the marriage, not after all she had done to him. "Elle, are you crazy?" I heard Lucas ask before he threw me away like I weighed nothing. My hands instinctively protected my flat stomach before my fragile body hit the wall. “What the hell is wrong with you? How dare you lay a finger on my pregnant wife? You desperate bitch!" he growled. Feeling like it was the perfect time to act modest, he covered himself, and Ellie finally pulled the sheets in herself. I scoffed, trying to tell him once again that I was pregnant, but she cut me off. “How
Zyrielle's POV “You, okay?" I was sure I looked like hell. No one going through what I was going through would be okay. "Bad breakup?” he asked while he mixed drinks for another customer. "You know, I’ve got just the thing for you.” He poured a generous shot, his eyes locked on mine.“On the house, beautiful. You look like you could use a little pick-me-up.” I just needed anything to forget—the diagnosis, my failed marriage… everything. I downed the shot in one gulp, wincing as the alcohol burned my throat.“Men are scum,” I muttered, slamming my fist on the bar. I was already too tired of crying. The bartender chuckled, “Ah, I see. Well, I can’t argue with that. We can be a bit of a handful sometimes.” He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a flirtatious whisper. “But not all of us are bad, I promise. Some of us are even worth a second chance.” I raised an eyebrow, a sneer playing on my lips. “Oh yeah? After wasting years of my life with this man and finally having the ch
