Zyrielle's POV. "Damn it," I muttered slowly as I saw Rain jubilating and wiggling his brows. This beef stew tasted so well and the burst of flavors on my tongue was to die for. I would say that this was my best meal so far that I had been privileged to taste and my head was practically spinning at this point out of deliriousness. "What did you say, baby?" He inquired while raising his brows and making suggestive faces at me. "I knew that I was going to wow you. Look at you being short of words just at one spoonful of my secret recipe. I need to hear you call this a masterpiece." He said and I shook my head. He was gloating quite alright but he truly deserved it. I wasn't sure that I could get someone who was as confident in their skills as he was. "I said dammit because I didn't feel the taste. Something is missing here..." I wrinkled my nose acting as there it was trash despite knowing that it wasn't I just wanted to bring down his ego but he wasn't letting me do that.
Zyrielle's POV. The drive to the hospital was almost akin to a cemetery. The only sign of livelihood was the soft music playing in the background. When I talked about soft, I meant it in every way. "So, Dr Sanchez, huh?" He began and my brows furrowed at his line of questioning. There was something wrong with the way he spoke about it. "Mhmm, Dr Sanchez. Do you have a problem with him?" I inquired but was rewarded with a shrug which I didn't know what to classify it as. For all I knew, they had never met so his question was a bit foreign to me. "No, I've just been thinking." He answered and I was a bit miffed by his question. "I was only wondering why out of every Doctor in the state you chose him. I understand that he might have been your family doctor and what not, understand the Dynamics and what convinced you to trust him so much." He replied.Having dealt with Lucas, I was more attuned to the inaction of certain people. "Yeah, he has proven to be a great doctor over the years
Zyrielle's POV. "You may come in." The nurse invited us and we immediately walked into the doctor's office. This was the only way that I could get closure from everything that was wrong with me. "Thank you." I responded politely and chuckled softly as I walked into the office. I didn't know how Dr Sanchez was going to react, seeing that it was a long time that we met each other "Mrs Zyrielle," he called a bit too enthusiastically as soon as he saw me and I smiled. I was already expecting this kind of treatment the instant he saw me. He was a very nice doctor and that added to one of the reasons I insisted that he be the one who handles my health. "Good morning Dr Sanchez, lovely to meet you again. It's been what? Ten years?" I inquired and he smiled at me before looking at the next person beside me.A hint of emotion crossed his eyes but quickly vanished before he could say Jack. "Good morning sir, please have your seat." He motioned to the chair in front of him and we took our s
Zyrielle's POV. "That was nothing, I just didn't like the way that man behaved, that's nothing serious now is it?" He inquired as soon as we walked in the corridor. "You don't say. I've known this man for quite some time, so take my words for it when I say that he's one of the best...""Not the best, yeah, I understand." Rain interrupted me, confusing me totally. I would never have imagined that he would say such. "Do you have a problem with him? I mean... You can let me know so that I know what to do. Your behavior is quite unnecessary and..." I also trailed off controlling my temper from flying around. He was making my head spin with the nonsense decisions that he was taking. "I have waited to have a clear diagnosis about my condition. If you don't think that he is capable enough, why don't you just let me know?" I snapped.His eyes darkened for a minute and I suddenly felt remorseful about the way I had spoken to him. I was sure that he probably had a reason for acting this way
Zyrielle's POV. Two hours later, I was done with all the processes but my darling husband was too angry during the process. I saw him flinching when the doctor placed an arm on my stomach to feel whatever he needed to see. I knew that he was just a step away from smacking him across the face which was quite funny. "Are you okay, babe?" I called as soon as I climbed down from the examination table. "Yeah, sure. Was I frowning?" He inquired in a light tone which belied his real emotions. I knew that he was lying. "Are you okay? Do you need help with the gel?" He inquired. I rolled my eyes. I wanted to know why he was acting that way but was stopping myself from going too far. "You sure, you're okay?" I inquired. He shrugged nonchalantly again and I shook my head softly. "You are a liar. I just didn't peg you as one." I admitted. He chuckled, "I will protect you from the truth even if it means lying to you." He spoke cryptically and I shook my head. "Is that your way of getti
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
