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
Zyrielle's POV. “Ignore her ma’am, she had loved Mr. Duncan since the day she walked in here, I’m sure she didn’t expect him to randomly come home with a wife”. “Please follow me." 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. Rain's cool fingers touched my chin, and I felt a spark run through my bo
Zyrielle's POV. Three hours later I don't know how I manged to do it but I slept… and damn has it been long since my dreams never ended up with me screaming. 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? Should I get
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
