Zyrielle's POV. I waited for a few minutes so that I didn't say anything wrong. He touched my back and I melted in his arms. "What?" I replied while staring at him softly. "So what do you want to do with this attraction that you feel for me? We both know that this isn't heading anywhere. We know the constraints behind our relationship so what exactly are we doing?" I inquired from him hoping that he did not ask me further questions because it was going to ruin everything that I had going on for me. "So... This is what I want us to understand. We can only get the right answers if we are open to each other. What exactly do you want to bring out from this relationship? Do you think that it can progress into something more or it is all about revenge? I want us to be as honest as possible." Rain said. He was asking a lot from me because I didn't want to talk about it. The fear of getting burnt again was enough to send me running whenever I heard a person telling me that he loved me. "
Chapter 74. Zyrielle's POV. The aroma of tea wafted into my nostrils and I opened my eyes instantly, watching as Rain walked towards the bed with a tray in hand. This was very lovely to watch and I felt warm inside. The memories of last night's events played in my mind and I felt very shy about it. "Don't tell me you are shy about everything that happened?" He inquired from me and I raised the sheets in shyness. "After everything that we have done?" He inquired and shook his head. "What?" "Exactly... I have been thinking about it and decided that we need to go on a vacation. Only you and me in the desert." He spoke while lowering the tray on the bed.I reached for the mug and inhaled the good scent. I think it was Eucalyptus. I needed some invigoration after all the events. "How do you feel today?" He asked and I looked up, remembering that he was present with me. "You look radiant, I must say." I beamed because even I felt lighter like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder
Zyrielle's POV. It was time for my next consultation at the hospital and I anticipated what could come up again. Since Rain and I were now on good terms I didn't think that he would be angry with Dr Sanchez even if I spent a lot of time with him because I needed to understand what was going on.“Are you ready for the next scan?” Rain inquired, popping his head into the bathroom. “you are almost done. I need to take a quick shower also so that I don't waste too much time today.” He muttered to himself before walking into his closet. I was not going to stop him from doing whatever and I expected that he extended the same grace to me. “Are you okay with me visiting Dr Sanchez?” I inquired from him so that we got that clear. I also wanted to visit my former house but didn't know how to tell him because I knew his bias against his brother and quite frankly I did not also think that I wanted to have any conversation with that couple. “Yeah you can visit him as long as he keeps his finger
Zyrielle's POV. Arriving at the house that I've once called my own sent me down memory lane but I had to call myself out of it. I wasn't here to think about the things that had been instead, I was here to focus on things that should be. There was a clear difference between both of them and right now I wanted to exploit that. My mind was running with different ideas but I kept on calming my nerves. It wasn't going to be easy but with extreme patience, I could pull it off. The security man ran towards me with a smile on his face, probably in excitement but I also saw a bit of wariness in those depths. He was probably wondering why I was here and his boss was not around. It wasn't my place to explain a lot to him but I could just beat around the bush and hope that he did not stress me out. "Hello Maxwell, fancy seeing you here after a while. I thought you might have gone." I said sincerely, it wasn't rocket science that Lucas might have wanted to get rid of any one who was related to
Zyrielle's POV. My heart skipped a bit immediately when I heard Mel's voice. I didn't know where to go. I decided to hide behind the door, "Where is Lucas?" She called and I heard a thud on the floor. Was she here with someone? Cheryl, perhaps?"What exactly is wrong with your son that he has refused to put a ring on my finger and is making me feel lesser than I should?" I heard a foreign female voice and I almost stumbled in surprise.Who could this person be for them to demand that Lucas marry them? "I have told you that my son does not need any pressure. He already has a fiancee, whom you also know so why the problem?" She replied. This wasn't making any sense. Was Lucas getting involved with someone else besides Cheryl? This was one of the wildest things that I had come across in a long while. This didn't make sense. Lucas was just one bastard that needed to be brought to book. "You have been telling me this same thing for the past how many months? He has refused to take re
Zyrielle's POV.Of all the things that could be sent about Lucas, this was the last thing that I would have expected from him. I knew that he would probably be involved in some shady deals but not to this extent. This was problematic, and I thought about it; I probably dodged a bullet. If he was involved in some trafficking like this lady claimed, that meant that my life would not have been safe with him and this was the best option. At that moment, I was thankful that Rain had saved me. Lucas always presented himself like someone who couldn't hurt a fly and that was one of the reasons I fell for him. How did he grow from having nothing to getting control over my mother's business and still being greedy enough to get into another phase? "You don't talk about my son that way. If you have a problem with him, you should deal with it instead of trying to pour your frustration on someone who just wanted to have a child. I was the one who pushed for it; now that he is backing out, why don
Author's POV. The sound of his phone ringing cut his attention from the Zoom meeting he was having. He glanced at his second phone and realized that it was my mother calling. Every time she put the call to him it was always a problem or the other, and quite frankly, he did not have the time no energy to discuss any problematic situation. "Are you with all Mr Lucas?" His Indian partner, Mr Roshan inquired. Swiping a finger across the screen, ending the call, and focusing his attention on the people before me. They were going to produce more results than his nagging mother would."I was only a bit distracted for a moment," he replied to them before looking at the charts that were drawn across the screen. He was yet to answer because he felt like it was not necessary. He just wanted a partnership with them, but they were looking at the long time that he had truly not seen between them. If they had access, why did they not go ahead to find other partners? This was a win-win situation
Rain's POV. I sauntered into Zyrielle's former house just right in time to see my step-sister pointing at her angrily, and I grew mad. She had no right to speak to her in any derogatory manner. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew that Zyrielle was only trying to focus on the positives and not deal with the negatives right away, I knew the things that I would have done to them. Despite her resistance, I was still very active in bringing Lucas down. His businesses were collapsing and I was buying out all his shares. He had to feel the heat even without me talking. "Nice to see you come into my house uninvited." Melissa began sarcastically but I had nothing to say to her besides the fact that she didn't deserve any form of attention beyond that which she had received. "It's amazing to see you again sister," I said sarcastically. Melissa's gaze took a wild gleam as she realized that she couldn't intimidate me into doing whatever she wanted, "Have you no shame? Snooping around? What
