Lucas's POV."What do you mean by documents are not complete?" I demanded from Cheryl the minute I saw her the next day. She wore a few dangerous smiles but I was less interested. We had a lot on our hands, so love and a certain level of familiarity weren't needed. "Babe, why are you acting like I'm a stranger? I told you that I would get them to you before the weekend. You've been acting weird lately, I hope there's no problem?" I shook my head in resignation, she refused to understand the gravity of our current situation. "Listen to me babe, we need this piece of information before it is too late. My Uncle isn't going to take it lightly with either of us if he finds out. Investors are already on our next and we need to deliver. There is no excuse whatsoever... So we have to shelf whatever we have and focus on getting the right things so that we can be able to discuss like normal people. I so want to have rest even with them on the prowl." I reminded her. "Okay, I understand this,
Zyrielle's POV. Rain's Residence. "Do you want something else?" Rain inquired as soon as I pushed the bowl of chips away. "Yeah..." I drawled, yet racked my brain coming up with nothing in particular. "Oh... Is this exactly what I think this is?" I asked him as soon as the door opened. The aroma of chicken soup wafted into my nostrils, tickling me and causing me to become alert. "You like?""Yeah, I do." I grinned in anticipation. We hadn't still spoken after the doctor left today and I waited for us to have a discussion. "I knew you would. I would have given up had you also rejected this." He admitted.I appreciated his honesty because I knew that I was stressing the hell out of him but it wasn't intentional anyway. It was just something that kept rising despite me trying my best to be free from it. "You have done a lot. How do I repay you?" His eyebrows were the only thing that signified his attention. "I would prefer in kind." He wiggled his brows and I rolled my eyes. He wa
Zyrielle's POV. "Best shape?" I inquired after he ended the call. I could pick up from what they were saying that there was a problem which probably needed my intervention but they feared that I might not be able to handle it because of a perceived weakness. "I received an information from Mandy informing me that there's a rumor circulating that you sold thirty percent of the company. I know it's a lie but they will expect you to come out to defend yourself probably." Rain informed. "Are you serious?" I asked him. This was strange to me. How Lucas came up with these lies was beyond me?" I don't think the public knows that, because the company is currently undergoing an upheaval which I'm the mastermind. I've been buying shares indiscriminately, so all the partners are beginning to come to companies with my endorsement." He expatiated."I don't understand what's happening. Is my company going under?" "Something like that. Whenever there is a massive buyout, all companies begin to
Zyrielle's POV. "That was beautiful! Who would have thought?" Rain commented as soon as Mel walked out. A grin appeared on my face at the way he was acting so giddy. "you're too happy." He grinned, "Now she would know better than to mess with you. I'm so excited, I could kiss you." He winked.The smile wiped off from my face as I stared at him. If he realized that something was wrong, he didn't say a word because instead he continued humming and walked to his dressing table to spritz some cologne. I sneezed the instant I smelt it. "Hey... Pregnant lady over here." I snapped. "Oh, I'm sorry," He replied with remorse appearing on his face. "Do you want to take a seat?" "Nah, I'm fine. Pregnant, not sick." I warned him to stop acting as though I was just someone who was going to die just from being pregnant."So, are we going to talk about what the doctor suggested?" He began and I sighed. With Rain, there was no breathing space. This man was thorough in his approach. No wonder he
Zyrielle's POV. "I've been waiting for you all day." I mumbled as soon as he walked in at the strike of midnight. Watching him push some hair away from his face, I made a mental note to remind him to get a trim soon. "You look tired." "Yeah... Had a long meeting today. I need to take a shower." He answered abruptly and headed into the shower.This was unlike him. I didn't want to complain because after witnessing firsthand how his meetings could go, and that was only the preliminary stage, I knew that it was enough for him to trudge in.I had no right to accuse him of infidelity when we both knew the terms and conditions of the marriage. We were more like flatmates than real couples and I was more to blame for that. "Do you need anything?!" I yelled."No. Please tell Meg that I'm not hungry," he responded before shutting the shower door. Okay?... Something was going on but he was refusing to talk about it. This was weird anyway but I was intrigued. By the time he came out of the
Zyrielle’s POV“Aargh!” I yelled, pretending to lose my footing naturally instead of as a consequence of my eavesdropping. I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall out of my eyes as soon as the light appeared. “Are you hurt?” Freya asked me, but I knew she was only pretending to be concerned. I shook my head and attempted to rise. “Wait, I will help you.” She said, but I knew it was all a lie. She was probably happy about my fall. I flenched as soon as she came closer before moving away from her. Her eyes widened in shock at my movement, but I didn't care one bit. It was just one of those things that happened whenever I was unsure about a person. “Are you sure that everything is fine, ma'am? " she inquired. I picked myself up refusing to allow her to touch my body because I know the implication. She didn't like me and made it clear. I would be a fool to act like she wanted the best for me. “This is very weird. I would never expect that you would act this way.” She said,
Rain's POV. I didn't bother to listen to her, instead I kept on laughing. "Darling you are jealous that's why you even ask that in the first place. I mean it's okay for anyone to be jealous. It shows that we have something real going on and that it is going to progress somewhere sooner or later." I answered. She wrinkled her nose at my confidence because this didn't even make any sense to me. "You are only trying to draw out conclusions that would fit what you have in mind." She answered in a nonchalant tone but I wasn't put off because I knew that we were heading somewhere definite.On the other hand I think I enjoyed the chase. She was stubborn but I wouldn't have it any other way. "Hi Mandy, tell me what is happening over there." I tapped my Bluetooth device connecting straight to the office. There was a sound of shuffling of papers in the background and I wondered where she was because I expected everyone to have gone home. "Oh sir, I just received an email from Gray industri
Chapter 41. Zyrielle's POV. I tapped my feet on the ground impatiently as I continued waiting up for Rain to return from his meeting. He had promised that he wasn't going to stay long but now my mind was beginning to go haywire. A part of me reminded myself not to be gullible the second time. How would someone say that he had a meeting at such an odd hour and I believed hook, line and sinker in the first place. That showed my level of trust in a person and how it was backfiring on me. This was the same thing that Lucas did when he began to cheat on me with Cheryl. I slinked the glass door open and walked out to receive some fresh air at the balcony. I had a lot of things to think of instead of thinking of a man who probably had a lot going for him and was only stringing me along. His car drove into the compound with horns blaring. My heart surged for joy as I kept looking at him. Something was changing which I didn't want to keep on happening. If he continued to be this n
