Zyrielle's POV. "Yes, I'll be there in a jiffy. I want to talk to everyone at the right time. Get all the papers right on time. Do you want me to change anything? Send them to me via email so that I can rectify it from over here." "Don't tell me what the hell to do. If you can't do it, send her away." He replied and I stared at him softly. He didn't know that I was watching him. His muscles flexed underneath his flannel shirt, while I watched him slowly. "Hmm, are you sure you heard her well? I can't believe that because I know what's at stake here. Now, if you will allow me to talk to Zyron he'll sit up." He spoke and I stared at him quietly. He was angry. I wonder who managed to piss him off. "Okay, is there anything that you want me to do for you? Name it." He continued talking. I was confused, was he that generally nice or was there some caveat which I didn't understand? I wondered. "Yeah, I'm in the hospital, I will talk to you later." He answered the person and st
Zyrielle's POV. "I think it will be better if we go to a park so we don't get overwhelmed," Rain suggested to me. I nodded after a moment's hesitation. I contemplated it for a second and came to the conclusion that it was not a bad idea. "I don't mind that," I said, giving him a small smile to show my approval of his suggestion for us to go to the park. It would be best than returning to his house. We walked to his car. I was not expecting that he would follow me to my side of the door and open it for me. I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks as I blushed. "Thank you," I said with a small smile. He smiled back at me as he shut the door. While he headed to the driver's side of the car, I struggled to catch my breath. I fanned my face so that the heat would calm down. He got in and started the car after I was buckled in. "You ready?" He asked and I nodded. He nodded with a brief smile and put the car in drive, pulling out of the driveway and into the road. He seemed very serene a
Zyrielle's POVFlicks of water droplets bounced on my skin and I looked up. It was about to rain. "I guess this is the universe's way of telling us to go home, whatcha think?" Rain spoke quietly. "Yeah..." I agreed, there was no way that I wanted to be caught up in a heavy downpour. We walked hand in hand again to the car with smiles on our faces. I was getting scared. It felt as though things were moving too fast and I couldn't help it. "We should grab some tacos on our way home." Rain suggested and I shrugged nonchalantly. I didn't think that I was really interested in having another bite but didn't want to discourage him. "okay," "I'm guessing that means you don't want to." He spoke.I shrugged carelessly again, "No, it means I don't mind." "Right... She doesn't want to but is only trying to let me down gently." He said in an exaggerated whisper while staring at me with a small smile. I blushed at his antics. This was a grown man for crying out loud but he was good at teases
Zyrielle's POV. Today was a hell of a rollercoaster as I tried to make sense of what was happening. One minute, I was at the hospital; the next, I was striding to his office despite my protests. I had come to realize that Rain always enjoyed having his way. It gave him the kick and it made me a bit angry that stuff like this was happening. "You sure are very happy." I gritted under my breath as he placed a palm on my back, sending waves of pleasure through me. "Yeah, I am. I want everyone to know that I'm finally taken. It's a pity how they think I can't woo a woman, a beautiful one at that." He threw his head back and laughed before becoming sober. "My bad, milady." He acted so chivalrously, imitating the English."You are one hell of a character." I retorted. I knew that he was trying to build a connection but I was sure of what would happen afterward, he would let me down like his nephew did. "I don't like such a face. It tells me that you're thinking about something sinister,
Zyrielle's POV. "You know each other?" Rain inquired from both of us and I nodded slowly. I didn't expect that they would know each other, talk more of having a sit-down. I turned towards Douglas with my eyebrow raised in surprise. "What are you doing here?" I inquired, and he was a bit surprised by the way I was asking questions. Well, he had to just tell me the answer, "I work with Mr Rain." He answered briefly and I chuckled. This was a very huge surprise for me because he was also working for me well, under Lucas. I nodded, yet didn't say a word but now I was interested in understanding why he was here. I plopped on a seat without an invitation as my eyes roamed across the room in inquisition. "Alright guys, as you all know this is my wife, Mrs Duncan." Rain announced and I was a bit skeptical about the unnecessary announcement. I would have preferred if he just took a break so that I could relate with these people on normal ground and be able to understand how his
Zyrielle's POV. Three Days Later, I was looking through my box and discovered that I had left some of my gold necklaces back at Lucas's place. It doesn't seem like I couldn't leave them with him, but I also remembered that I had certain documents that I had to retrieve. Dang it! How did I forget so soon? Returning to that house would set a lot of tempers flying, and I had vowed not to step into that place unless I was taking back my mansion. Rain had been actively working to get some clients boarded, which was one of the reasons we hadn't spoken about how this was supposed to go. I, on the other hand, was only just recovering, so I didn't want to be involved in any back-and-forth between me and these people. As soon as I came out of my room, I almost bumped into Freya, who was glaring at me as though I had taken something away from her. I sincerely wasn't in the mood for all this trash she wanted to bring my way but I just had to be as calm as I could be so that I could get my
Chapter 33 Rain's POV. "Where is my wife?" I demanded from Freya who was cleaning the center table. The house was awfully quiet, and my imagination began to run wild. What if she had absconded? I knew she wasn't pleased to be with a stranger but I hoped that one of these days she would understand how I felt. Freya pointed at the drawing room, and I nodded, shaking my head in refusal to allow her to take my bag upstairs. "May I get you anything, sir?" She inquired again and I shook my head. I just had a feeling that something was wrong, and I needed to come to address it. Also, we're supposed to attend the meeting with the second doctor, but I do not understand why I forgot. As I approached the drawing room I heard voices coming from within. "So you are saying she came here a few days ago?" Zyrielle inquired.Who was she speaking to? "I'm not supposed to say this ma'am. I don't think it was Mr Rain who invited her here but she stopped by and left before your return." I heard Meg
Zyrielle's POV."I don't think we would take such option at least not behind her back." I heard a voice saying although I was yet to open my eyes. I felt a bit of reluctance trying to rise. It was as though something was pinning me down and I was contemplating the best way to cry for help. Also, I wanted to hear the basis of the conversation."We should do this as fast as possible, at least before the next month. What do you think?" I had a strange voice ask and I was very much interested in knowing what they were discussing. My eyes fluttered open after a few minutes, and I jumped when a cool arm touched mine. "hey, it's me; you don't need to be afraid." Rain said, smiling down at me. Although his eyes were a bit hooded, I realized that he was hiding something and it was eating him up. I coughed, trying to test my voice. "Thank you for bringing me here. I guess it's the doctor that just left." I answered instantly, clearing my throat again so that I could continue with the convers
