Rain's POV.

The sound of the monitor beeping continuously had my heart pounding in loads. All I could think of was the mistake of her giving up and finally passing out because of continuous problems from my family.

Lucas was a bad influence in her life and I was mad that I couldn't control this situation after promising to. Some people might not understand the gravity of what was wrong with me because they might feel it was normal. I had every right to be mad at my situation. I would never have imagined being in this state, especially with everything I had mapped out for my future.

"You must do something!" I shouted at one of the nurses who was walking around yet proferring no solution.

"We are trying our best Mr Duncan. She would be in good shape in a few minutes and you will be able to see her." She responded in an understanding tone before opening the door to the theater.

I contemplated asking the doctor to operate on her and get that baby out so that I could get a minute of Pe

    Zyrielle's POVPretending to be in charge of my emotions was one of the worst scenarios I could ever face because, in all, I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was dying and there was nothing anyone could do about it. I wept sorely when the doctor whispered my fate. "I'm sorry, Mrs Duncan. I just had to tell you so that you wouldn't be in the loop." The doctor apologized. I was pretty mad at the fact that there was nothing I could do to save myself. This was quite disturbing."Can you not inform my husband?" I responded, thinking about the long-term effect of this information on Rain. He was the last person that would want me to die and would try his hardest to see me flourish. "He would soon be back. I asked him to stay outside for a bit but he's been fighting me all this while." The doctor confided in me. "I would have been worried if he didn't react that way." I smiled softly when I remembered this. So many things had happened in the past few weeks and now I realized

    Zyrielle's POV All my efforts to make sure that he didn't realize what was happening went to the drain because he kept hammering that he wanted me out of this place. "Why don't you take a breather? I am only just recovering I need all the care that I can get. I do not want to worry about a thing and just take life in a stride." I said trying to keep his attention away from the obvious elephants in the room. He didn't look pleased with my answer. "How scary! If I am concerning this question mark, I would not even lie about my fears simply because I want to prove something that isn't true. I know that you might think I am overreacting, and it is understandable, but this is it... I need everything to be done perfectly and everything is not in alignment as I would want it to be. I do not blame you or the doctor, but I need someone to tell me why the hell you are deteriorating every day despite changing your hospital. It seems like you know something that I don't and that makes my head

    Zyrielle's POV. I gazed at the stars in the sky relishing how serene they were. They had no worries, no fears, and I couldn't help but be jealous of their life. I couldn't also help but imagine how my life would be if I didn't have to deal with Lucas's situation.Rain opened the door and walked in with a tray of fresh coffee. I inhaled the goodness and beamed at him. "Such a lovely cup of goodness I can't wait to try it out," I said in anticipation of the taste. He adjusted his glasses before smiling at me. "Of course, it has to taste nice because I made it with love." He winked. It was almost like an unspoken rule because both of us had found ways of making the other happy. "I can almost imagine," I said before accepting the cup and bringing it to my lips. "Thank you for being so thoughtful." I appreciated his efforts before sipping. I didn't want to talk about the elephant in the room since he had decided not to raise the issue. I guess it was only best to honor his wishes and k

    Rain's POV. It didn't help at all that I had to figure out every move regarding Zyrielle because of how quiet she was. Something told me that this ran deeper than she was willing to share but I pretended not to notice. It was too bad that now she was walking on eggshells around me even though we pretended to love each other and wanted to remain with each other for the rest of our lives. I didn't mind being subjected to ridicule simply because I had lost everything, as people would term it, but I still wanted to see how far she would carry on this act. I alighted from my car and strode right into the lobby of the hospital, smiling at some of the receptionists who greeted me. I didn't want to engage them further though. "Is Doctor Perez around?" I inquired; he was the specialist who was supposed to be in charge of things, but to my utmost surprise, they pointed in his office direction instead.I walked away in that direction. My heart beat faster when I approached Zyrielle's ward,

    Zyrielle's POV. I rolled back to the other side immediately after I heard the door short gently. I didn't want to imagine what could be going through his mind at the moment, but I decided to be patient and find a better way to address me than usual. I also contemplated reaching out to him to see if we could talk things out and never get into issues with each other. He walked into the room a few minutes later and looked calmer. "Hey... I brought some chicken soup for you, are you up for it?" He asked. I nodded, not having any doubt in mind as I sat up straighter. "You brought my fave. How did you know that I loved this?" I asked him. It was from a restaurant in the city, and I had been fantasizing about getting food from there. He winked. "Well, I have insight. I love their meals too. So... I have spoken to the doctor confirming if you can eat this." "You are such a sweetheart." I gushed. An emotion flickered in his eyes and I looked away immediately. I knew how he was feeling bu

    Zyrielle's POVThe sound of chattering on the TV caught my attention. "According to the news from Business Insider, it has been rumored that Wealth Empire is about to crash due to some mismanagement of funds. A lot of investors have pulled out of the company, claiming that things were no longer going by the stipulated agreement. All of these are still speculations which we hope do not come true." The newscaster said. I sat up straighter as soon as I heard it. Oh really, why the hell am I just getting to hear that the company was going under and Rain had not thought it was important to inform me?I flicked through other channels to confirm if the news was true and realized that it was the same thing that was aired. "I have heard that some businesses do not flourish especially when the owners decide to sell to other people. The only way that the company can be salvaged is if the original owner returns to power and takes charge of everything. It's not an easy decision because they migh

    Zyrielle's POV. "Hey, where is everywhere quiet?" Rain's voice percolated through the empty house as I reclined on the chair waiting for him to walk through the door as usual. He halted as soon as he saw me rubbing my stomach with a smile that belied my words. "Welcome, babe," I said and continued with the motion. "Hi, love, why do you look so grim?" He inquired from me. I contemplated how to go on this questioning spree but was looking for the right way to word it without upsetting him. "I was waiting for you because I missed you." I lied instead. "Why don't I believe you?" I smiled because he was on his way to discovering the truth, but I needed to play it cool so that he didn't figure it out just yet."I was just a little tired and decided to rest for a while before you arrived. Something tells me that you need to rest." I said tactically, hoping that he took the bait and explained everything that happened without me having to prod him. He maintained a cool composure almost m

    Zyrielle's POV. I was glad when he didn't pay much attention before continuing on his journey. Maya looked at me and I shook my head. She wouldn't make the mistake of reporting that I was present because that was only going to complicate things, and as much as I wanted to catch him in the act, I didn't want it to happen that way. I looked away briefly before also getting into my car and zooming off after him. His car took the bend close to Greensville, and I was shocked. Why the hell would he be plying this route at such an odd hour? I switched off my headlights so that he wouldn't catch on that someone was trailing after him. I tapped my second foot in anticipation of what was the come. I only hope that he didn't disappoint me. Stuffed at the nearest gas station I parked far away, waiting for his next move. I brought out my camera intending to capture every bit of the moment and leave him with no excuse whatsoever. He returned to his car and zoomed off again like someone who t

  • 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.

    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
