Zyrielle's POV. Watching rain through the lenses of his family's name was a bad perception. I had come to realize that I was probably treating him based on the image I had created in my head but he was quite different. My hands flew to my stomach absent-mindedly as I contemplated my next action. We were supposed to be meeting with his lawyers but I needed some break due to my health. Now that we had the time, we weren't going to let it slip off our hands. "So, I have an offer for you." Rain spoke as we proceeded to the seat in the restaurant. I could almost imagine what he was about to say. For him to be acting all humble, that means he was up to no good and was trying to make up for it. "Don't bother to say it if you know it's going to offend. I don't treat offenses lightly." I warned him and he began to laugh. "Why do women find it so hard to forgive men?" He wiggled his brows, I was getting to understand that he was plain and used this medium as a form of releasing stress.
Rain's POV.Her eyes widened considerably before she called herself to order. This was all the information I needed to know that she didn't want to get married. It was probably a response to her traumatic experience but this was one of the things Lawrence was going to tell us. I only wanted her to accompany me so that she understood the gravity. She leaned towards me before whispering, "but we are married, do we still need a grand wedding to prove that?" She inquired. I shrugged slightly before texting Lawrence to better have a good reason to convince her. "Sadly yes, it could be contested that we are not married and that the certificate is fake. We are going to do the whole process and enjoy it. I don't think it should be the thing of surprise right now. We should instead be planning how we would shock Lucas and Cheryl. I hear they are also planning a wedding." I informed her, hoping that she would see the need for us to be really invested in that. Her brows furrowed, her lips a b
Zyrielle's POV. Rain was acting weird as we walked back to the car. I didn't want to pester him so that he didn't feel like I was a burden. I just really wanted to know what was happening to him so that I could understand my next line of action. "Is anything the matter?" I inquired from him but he still didn't say anything. Instead, he went ahead to smile. "We have an impromptu visitor in the house. She might be staying for a while." He informed me which was quite surprising because I wasn't expecting him to just bring someone home. "Okay...?" I asked."So, I want you to be very calm. She can be problematic sometimes but it's a phase and it will leave before you can blink." He prepared my mind for this person. That did nothing to quench the inquisitive part of me, it made me even want to know who exactly this person was. Was she some ex-lover?"And who might this person be?" I asked again since he didn't think it was necessary to tell me more details about this person. "A friend
Zyrielle's POV.I knew that I could be considered to be acting relationally but that didn't stop the fact that I was right in whatever actions I decided to take. This was simply not right and I wasn't going to allow anyone to bamboozle me into accepting it. Rain had spoken a lot about how he has always wanted me and I was starting to believe it, but with all the evidence presented before me, I didn't know what to think. This wasn't even the case of whatever I felt for him. He had to be accountable to his words so that I would trust him. "So, you are practically saying that I am a liar and a cheat, is that what you mean?" He inquired and I shrugged casually. He wasn't making it easy for me to defend him. "You know everything that I suffered with Lucas, if you keep on bringing up signs that send the wrong signal to me, what do you want me to expect?"Rain glanced at me before heading into the bathroom. He wasn't going to speak with me because he knew I was speaking nothing but facts.
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
