Zyrielle's POV

"Do you want me to do anything about it?" Rain spoke, drawing me out of my reverie.

“About what?”

He pointed at my phone. "You were talking to your parents, what do you want me to do about it?"

I blinked slowly, trying to understand where all of these were coming from."You want to help me?" I repeated and he nodded. "Why?"

"Why not?" He repeated and I blinked at him. He wasn't making any sense. Why would he want to help me?

"I don't know what you want me from me, I mean you just met me, what?... A day, it's not even up to twenty-four hours. Why are you helping me?" I finished.

He shrugged, catching me off guard again. My eyes unconsciously trailed down my ring finger at the glistening ring, the reluctance to talk about it was surprising… I didn’t want to let go of it as it brought me a sense of comfort.

My eyes met his.

"I don't see any reason why you should be hesitant about receiving help." He replied, his eyes boring into mine as if daring me to ans

    Zyrielle's POV. “Why won’t I talk about her huh?” Lucas sighed before yelling, “What the fuck is wrong with you Cheryl!” "What do you mean by why am I talking about her?" Cheryl answered angrily and I moved backward, hiding behind the boulder in the house, watching them. "I don't understand what you're arguing about. I don't know what you want me to do anymore." Lucas fired at her darkly and now I was getting more confused about their argument. It didn't make any sense. "Why did you allow her just insult you and go scot-free instead of doing the needful? You should have made her regret her actions.” “Now, we are the laughing stock in the country…possibly half the world. Have you forgotten that we were on live tv?" She reminded him. “Not only that but you fucking dare her to leave and started acting like a kid!” “And whose idea was that huh?” I think I was just getting the hang of the argument, but it still didn't make any sense to me. Why would they imagine that I w

    Zyrielle's POV."Where do you think you're going?" I raised my head slightly when he spoke and stared at him angrily. "What do you mean by that?" I replied calmly not wanting him to disrupt my attention. "How can you just decide to up and leave?" He asked in an incredulous tone which made me a bit tired of his questions. I didn't care about him anymore why couldn't he just accept the fact that I was moving on happily. "You can't just leave me”.“I’ll be damned to let you leave me to stay with my uncle, that's the problem!" "I understand you very much, but I don't care. I think your jealousy is misplaced, in case you've not noticed, I am no longer married to you, so I can be with anyone that I want to be with.”“Moreover, what the hell does this even mean? You think that my life would come to an end because of you? Of course not! I will make you pay for ever betraying me, you understand me?" "No, I don't understand you. How long have you been sleeping with my uncle, you slut?!" I

    Zyrielle's POV. My eyes flew open the minute Lucas flew across the room and a loud crack sound resounded. What the hell? "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" I cried out when I saw his head bleeding. The culprit, Rain was busy heaving in anger while his muscles became bigger. This is dangerous! "Rain, we need to get him to the hospital!" I called for him and he stared at me, I shrunk at his glare. Man, he was pissed. The question was why? This wasn't supposed to happen! Lucas isn't supposed to die. "We need to take him to the hospital!" I made my voice louder in case he didn't hear me in the first place. He snorted and marched toward a whimpering Lucas who dragged himself backwards. I didn't know what to do. This was preposterous! "You dare lay your hand on my wife?" Rain demanded in a calm voice that I knew belied what he was feeling. His hands were coiled like a tight spring, ready to snap into pieces at the slightest second. "You don't know what you are doing? Why are you dating my w

    Zyrielle's POV It didn't make any sense at all. "Why are you taking me here? I can manage." I replied, trying to stop him from taking responsibility for me. “I'm not a kept woman, I don't want you to take responsibility for me." Rain grimaced before pressing the button. "I don't know about you darling but you don't have a choice. I'm taking good care of you whether or not you like it." He replied shocking me to the bone. I opened my mouth to ask why again. The usual question that I knew was beginning to sound like a broken record. "You're worth it, that's the only reason I can give you. The only problem I have is my stupid nephew who made you feel lesser than you truly are. You're a beautiful lady who deserves the best things in life." He responded and looked at me quietly. I felt my cheeks flaming hot at his intense stare. This man surely knew how to sweet-talk a woman which was a huge red flag. I didn't know what to make of it. “That was what he said yet went ah

Meg added, and I nodded. "Your room is that way." "No, she will stay in my room." Rain countered, and I looked at him in surprise. “You can leave us, Amber, I’ll take over from here." He ordered, and she walked away and because of how big the house was, it looked as though they had disappeared, leaving me worried about being alone in this large house. "I'm sure you'd like it, Poccolina." He winked at me, but I shot him a tense smile. "Smile; you're going to love living here, darling." He reassured me. Yeah but for how long? I glanced behind him to glimpse Freya peeping through a room. Why was she peeping at me? I didn't want to engage in any love triangle, so it would have been better if I had just gone away.

However after storing and stretching, I opened my eyes to meet his, although busy with his laptop... His eyes must have turned to check in me before meeting my gaze. "You're awake." "And you seem to have been staring, not sure I feel comfortable with the way you stare at me. It's too intense…. Almost as though you wnat to read my mind” “Can you stop it?". He chuckledand asked, “You don't like me staring at youand you think it's weird?” “I on the other hand find that more weird!” I moved on the bed and stared at him blankly "That's supposed to be my line if you ask me," I answered, and he shook his head; I was sure that he wanted to counter that fact but decided against it. “Maybe… you look so calm and peaceful when you sleep, you stirred and I wanted to check if you were okay”. “Are you hungry?

    Zyrielle's POV.Only a few things managed to catch my attention, but as things stood right now. I think one of the greatest ways to determine one should never say never. I walked slowly, trying to stretch my legs not trying to kill myself. "What is that place?" I asked her when we passed a room that was shut with a small tape in front of it. This wasn't an I'm saying where they would tell civilians to keep away from. Freya only nodded, staring at me, but I think she had other things running through her mind because that couldn't be just an ordinary stare. "Is there anything else you want to show me?" I asked her to be sure that she wasn't leading me to my death. Well, that was an exaggeration though. She turned towards me and shook her head. "This is just the room where Mr Rain stores all his paintings." She explained and I was a bit curious to see the paintings he had stored away inside his room. Was he a painter? I wondered. He didn't look like one but who was I to determine wha

    Rain's POV.My phone began to buzz in my pocket and I groaned. Talk about the right time to call. I knew who was calling me at this time. "I'm sorry I have to take this." I apologized to her before leaving the room for her to peruse and see what she liked. A part of me was kind of scared that she would leave but I had to just believe that she wouldn't. It was a great risk but I was ready to take it. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and swiped across the screen. "Mandy, what's the problem?" I inquired I hope she had a very good reason for calling me. "I am sorry for calling so late but I just had to remind you of the meeting we have with the Dixons." She replied and I shut my eyes. Dammit, how did I even forget about the meeting? I didn't think I had to think longer. I hissed under my breath. Now I was going to leave Zyrielle all by herself while I go attend to Dixon. He was one of the key players in town. Judging that this was the first time we were going to be having this meeti

  • 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
