Zyrielle's POV.

As soon as I crossed the bridge, I picked up my pace with fear raging deep inside of me that I was about to be caught by my arch nemesis waiting outside and probably had informed everyone of my disappearance.

The attendant had been kind enough to explain that there would be no need for me to take a car because that could end up becoming disastrous. She had suggested that I could give birth in the car myself and that wouldn't be nice.

I had also reconsidered my options and saw that she made sense. She had only given me some money for the bus station so that I didn't get stranded as much but had also warned me not to get involved in late-night movement because that could turn out disastrous.

I was anticipating freedom. I didn't know how it was going to come especially right now. She had also given me the best route to take which was through the woods.

It wouldn't occur to anyone to find me there, but if I had stepped out in broad daylight, there was every possibility

    Rain's POV.I jumped immediately I saw Zyrielle collapse to the ground. My heart skipped a bit, and I think I lost a few of my grey hairs immediately after I saw that. Thankfully I got to where she was standing before she could collapse and ordered my men to capture those fools. I was tired of having to defend myself from people who couldn't think for themselves as long as they were thrown some money. "Stay with me, babe," I whispered as I exited the catastrophic atmosphere seeking refuge and recovery all at once. I feared that she might have passed out, which wasn't the bulk of the work; I feared that the stress might have gotten to her too much and would probably cripple her. The doctor had always warned us sternly not to allow her stress over anything but this was out of my control. My driver opened the door immediately and I placed her in the back seat. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and I sighed in relief. "Rain..." She muttered softly making me sigh in relief again. "I thou

    Zyrielle's POV."I'm so glad you were brought in at the time you did because I can't guarantee that everything would have worked out fine if she was a minute late." The doctor said. I smiled at him instead and watched how Rain tapped his foot impatiently on the ground, waiting for the doctor to finish announcing his verdict. I could see the tension written all over him but he was only trying to prove to be strong. I signaled to him and he came over almost immediately. "I'm fine, I'm only just looking for a way to talk to you. Did you hear what the doctor said? You are an amazing man and I don't want you to forget that. I am famished at the moment and would like to have something." I told him. He blinked like he was in shock that I would request to eat. "What would you like to eat?" He inquired very passionately making me smile again. I knew that his mother was only lying, but I only tried to put a distance between the doctor and me so that he wouldn't tell me bad things negative t

    Zyrielle's POV.I stood donned in my corporate clothing as I took a cup of coffee and I sipped it as she sat down on my chair facing the young man before me.I needed answers, and he seemed to be the best ticket to getting these answers with immediate effect."Rain, tell me," I said, with him looking at me with sincerity in his eyes."See, Zyrielle, I would never traffick humans, and this made me be at loggerheads with my mother. We couldn't quite see things from the same perspective." Rain responded to me."I had to turn the tables around to save my face from the shame and the reproach her way of handling things would create." Rain replied to me having a straight face.'Sincerely speaking, it seems like Rain is clean on this one; I can't help feeling like something is missing somewhere.' I thought as I played with my fingers on the sheen black table.I felt relieved in all sincerity, but to be honest, I didn't feel fully free from the fact that there was something that was missing

    Zyrielle's POV. After the previous events, I boarded a taxi with Rain, and the vehicle took us on a straight road. I was drinking my hydration beverage to help give me strength for the day, as I started to cut down on excessive coffee consumption for the sake of my health.I knew that if care wasn't taken I would lose focus on the matter at hand, so I decided to follow the direction of Mr Rain to an uncompleted building.Once we'd arrived, the taxi driver halted the vehicle with ease, and it didn't take long before I paid him for both of us.The vehicle drove off, and I looked at Rain, who was busy scrolling through his new phone."This is the place Zyrielle. Let's get in." Rain said with an apathetic look as he raised his face.I nodded affirmatively and followed him into the uncompleted building, and it looked like a two-storey building; it looked cemented, filthy, and abandoned to a great extent.It seemed whoever owned it had an experience that made him lose his funds, or so in t

    Zyrielle's POV. I was confused as to why she would suggest that, and I guess she figured it out because she quickly raised her hands in a placating manner. "Can you calm down, celebrate, and listen to what I am here to say? No, I do not mean that you should waste your time there. I will do something out of the way; I'm just saying that she would be delighted to speak to you, and you could use that as the best approach for us to get more information." She quickly corrected herself. That didn't stop me from feeling like something was wrong, especially when she was proposing that I go and almost lose my life. "I'm sorry I would have to decline politely because I don't want to die just yet. Do you think she would be happy to see me and allow me go Scott free? Of course not, I didn't think so." I answered immediately so that she would realize that I was being serious about a lot of things. Hailey exchanged glasses with my man and I couldn't help but get more angry with them. I didn't ex

    Zyrielle's POV."There have been rumors circulating the entire town that a certain man named Rain Duncan has refused to step down. Not only that, he has been involved in many criminal activities that have been swept under the carpet for so long, and now it's finally been uncovered again. According to the sources of the news, we have every right to believe that Mr Duncan was involved in the trafficking of young girls ages 12 to 16. A rare case of minors being exploited every day without anyone coming to their aid. We have a few eyewitnesses but they have refused to come out because they fear that he could hurt them." The reporter said on the early morning show making me roll my eyes. Without needing any extra information, I figured out that this was probably a planned work and the best way to deal with this was to return like I also didn't understand what was going on. I kept on watching the news as more rumors piled up against Rain.Soft footsteps interrupted my concentration and I

    Zyrielle's POV."If I didn't know you better I would have believed this sob story of yours." Rain answered him immediately. Sometimes I grew tired of how he felt like people didn't understand his moves. How did he expect me to believe that he was here to help me after everything he had done to bring me down? I would never understand his obsession with me, and quite frankly, I didn't care. "I seriously want to help you but you might not believe this. I just want us to have a simple conversation and we might not have to fight all the time. You were my best uncle right from the start before grandmother began to plant some evil seeds in me."I laughed at him because he was trying to absolve himself of his ability to make certain decisions. "Aha! And that has also stopped you from being sensible enough to turn down her teachings right? Why don't you stop deceiving yourself and let us be? I know you are obsessed because your company is failing woefully and you are trying so hard to get bac

    Rain's POV. I watched her sleeping in the car and shook my head in confusion as to how I was so lucky to get such a beautiful woman on my side. A lot of pregnant women would have left me because of the stress they've already been going through, and adding this to the mix; I, for one, knew that this wasn't even easy. Sometimes I felt like my head was going to split into two but I had to control myself because I had a wife to take care of. Natalie's disappearance was messing with my mental health, and all I thought about was for her to be captured and dealt with accordingly. She didn't know that I had affiliations with a few judges which I had helped to run shady deals in the past, and now they owed me too much to reject me, especially during my time of need. I just needed her to return to the country and she would face disgrace that she never bargained for. That I was sure of. I stared at my wife again not having the heart to wake her up from her beautiful slumber. My father and I

  • Accidentally Married To My Ex's Uncle   Epilogue

    Zyrielle’s office was filled with the warm afternoon sunlight, showering a soft glow on the sleek furniture and the framed photographs that hung on the walls. She stood by the window, sipping her coffee as she gazed out at the bustling street below her. It was hard to believe how much her life had changed.Her fashion business had blossomed into one the biggest brands in Wisconsin; you couldn't even walk into a boutique without seeing her clothes. Every major fashion house in the country seemed to want a piece of her, a lot of them offering a large amount of money to have her relocate.She had declined their offers of course. Moving out of Wisconsin wasn’t part of her plan, this place had become her home. Not just that, it was also a matter of pride. She built this business with her bare hands and she'd be damned before she gave it away to strangers.She placed her cup down and walked over to a dress form draped in one of her latest designs. Running her fingers over the delicate embro

    Author's POV.The sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Zyrielle’s studio, painting the room in golden light. The soft hum of her sewing machine filled the air, a comforting rhythm that steadied her nerves. She stood back from the mannequin, her fingers trailing over the fabric of her latest creation. The dress was a masterpiece, an accumulation of everything she had learned and done to get to this point.Her fashion business was finally taking off, and every day looked better than the last. Orders flooded in, collaborations were just on the horizon, and she felt, for the first time in years, that she was finally making progress.And yet, a strange unease simmered beneath all of it.Zyrielle shook her head and glanced at the clock. “Maybe I just need some fresh air,” she muttered, grabbing her bag and stepping outside.The city greeted her with its usual hustle and bustle vibe. The chatter of pedestrians, the distant honking of cars, the scent of freshly baked pastr

    Rain's POVLife had a funny way of stitching moments together—victory, love, and the occasional unexpected twist. Today was a day stitched in gold. As I stood in the kitchen, holding a steaming mug of coffee, my thoughts drifted to the woman sleeping upstairs. Zyrielle. My wife, my anchor, the woman I loved more than life itself.The mere thought of her brought a smile to my face. After everything we’d been through, the surgeries, the sleepless nights, the worry—I could finally breathe again. She was here, alive, and so were our babies. Life felt like it was finally clicking into place, and I swore to myself that nothing would stop me from building the future I’d dreamed of.As I sipped my coffee, my phone flared up on the counter. I reached to pick it up, barely glancing at the screen before answering.“Rain Lark,” I responded, giving my new surname, whilst leaning against the counter.“Mr. Lark!” an excited voice burst through the line. “I have fantastic news!

    Zyrielle’s PovI felt my toes curl up slowly against my cold feet as I gained consciousness. The first thing that came to my senses was the crisp sheets of the hospital bed and the very strong stench of antiseptic.I thought I had gotten accustomed to it by now but it striked me each time.I groaned a little as I tried to lift myself to sit up with my eyes glued shut. My body still ached all over, but I was certainly feeling more energized. For the first time in what felt like weeks, I wasn't drowning in absolute pain.Instead, I felt— alive. My eyes finally fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was Rain, sitting by my side in a cushioned chair.His deep blue eyes were focused on me, his expression a mix of relief and hesitation. He wasn’t touching me, though, just sitting there like he didn’t know what to do with himself.I found that oddly cute.“Rain,” I croaked out, my voice weak but steady. I needed something to drink, I couldn't understand why my throat felt so dry.His li

    Zyrielle's POV. "I want you to tell me if you feel any pains in your body." The doctor told me just before I was taken into the theater. I took a deep breath and watched my husband shake at the thought of me going inside the machine and being operated on. It was a 50/50 chance of survival and we knew what this meant. One of us wasn't going to come out alive and I hope that it wasn't my kids. "Can I speak to my husband before I go in?" I responded instead and Rain jumped at my side immediately. I had never seen him this angry in my entire life and out of his wits. If there was a way he could take away the pain from me and inflict himself instead, he would have done it, and my heart went out to him. Marcus also watched us from the glass mirror and acted as a moral support but it wasn't going to be enough to quench the way my husband felt about this situation. I was certain that he would punch the doctor if it ended up not going well. "I need you to be strong for me and the kids. We

    Rain's POV“Please you have to try”“I understand, Mr. Rain, but my hands are tied. I can't take on a case like this. I'm sorry.” With that, the call ended, and I clutched the phone tightly in my palm.This couldn’t be it. That was the third hospital to refuse to operate on her but I wasn't giving up, not when her life was in danger.I kept scrolling through the endless list of contacts. Each name blurred together, none offering the solution I desperately searched for.“Rain,” my father’s voice broke through the haze, he was also searching for a doctor who could help me. I was glad for his support because I couldn't do this alone. “Any luck?” He questioned, and I shook my head, defeated.“We’re running out of options, I can’t lose her,” I murmured in a pleading tone. “She’s everything to me, my life will be meaningless without her in it”“We won’t have faith,” he assured, his tone firm, though his eyes betrayed his doubts. “I’ve reached out to my network and there's someone who might

    Zyrielle's pov.My head throbbed badly as I regained consciousness; slowly, I blinked back, forcing my eyelids open to the ceiling of the hospital wards.The room was quiet except for the soft beep of the machine and footsteps. I angled my head spotting Rain pacing in the room.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my side made me wince, forcing me to lie back down. "Rain... I called out barely more than a whisper, but it was enough to catch his attention. He froze mid-step, his broad shoulders tense as he turned toward me."You're awake," he murmured rushing to my side. "Finally.""Finally?" I repeated, bewildered. "What do you mean, finally? What happened? How did I end up here?"He didn’t immediately answer, his eyes scanning me as though checking for any signs of injury. His jaw was tight, and for a moment, he hesitated, as if weighing his words carefully. Then, he let out a low breath, stepping closer to the bed."How are you feeling?" The question came out soft, almost too gen

    Zyrielle's pov.No!“No, you're gone”“You wish you could get rid of me that easily.” She gained a knife in her hand. I tried to move and tried to get away but I couldn't move.I was trapped.“Goodbye, Zyrielle,” she sneered, raising the knife and stabbing me right in the heart.“No!” I cried, jolting awake. My breathing ragged and I was sweating profusely.Instinctively, my arm clutched my chest, feeling my heart this rapidly; I wasn't injured.It was just a dream yet why did it feel so real?I felt a nudge by my side and I turned sharply, finding Rain half awake beside me. His arm was draped over his forehead, his brows furrowed even in rest. Reaching out, I touched his shoulder, my fingers trembling."Rain," I whispered, my voice cracking.He stirred, blinking slowly before turning his head to look at me. "Hey, you good?" He asked, rubbing his eyes, I could tell he was exhausted and needed to sleep, but this was important."She was here," I murmured, barely able to get the words ou

    Zyrielle's POV.I shifted uncomfortably in my spot watching Rain clench and unclench his hands on the steering wheel.The tension between us was so palpable you could slice a knife through it, I didn't like the silence between us. I know he was worried still it didn't feel right."You're too quiet," I finally ventured, my voice cutting through the stillness like glass breaking. "Stop overthinking. It’s going to be fine."Rain’s jaw tightened, his eyes fixed on the road ahead as he kept driving. "When we find her it will be fine," he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper."Do you have any support on this? Were you able to convince them to help us out or are you trying to play the hero and do this alone?"For a while, he didn't reply, and I could tell he was battling with whether he should tell the truth or not."I’ve got a few," he finally admitted, his voice flat, devoid of the confidence I’d hoped to hear."A few?" My heart raced. "Rain, this isn’t some game. Janet’s not going t
