Twist of Fate Chapter 41
Accalia-After I left the hotel, I had planned to return to the apartment and pack my things to leave. Except when I reached my room and pulled out my bag to pack, I stopped. The image of Zydan hugging the girl constantly ran through my mind.“What should I do?” I asked my wolf.“Maybe let him explain?” Akira answered.I wanted to argue with her, but I couldn’t. Even if he couldn’t explain things enough to convince me to stay, I at least needed to understand what was going on. I also couldn’t throw a fit about it because if I did, he would know I was at the party.Even if I intended to tell him I was Akira, that went out the window the moment he wrapped his arms around Arielle. Returning my bag to where I pulled it out from, I left my room and went to wait in the living room for him.I attempted to watch television to help me think about something else, but that didn’t work. I started cleaning the house to help distract me, which helped a little. When I finished scrubbing everything d

Accalia-Tension spread across Zydan’s back as he kept his back to me. With each passing second, I almost told him not to tell me because I didn’t want to know. When Zydan slowly turned toward me, I linked my hands behind my back.“Currently, I don’t have any plans to be with or marry her. I still feel like I should at least repay her, but I haven’t figured out how. She wants me to marry her in exchange for her saving my life, but…” Zydan dropped his gaze to the ground.I waited for him to continue, but when it didn’t appear that he would, I spoke up instead. “I will give you time.”Zydan lifted his gaze to meet mine. “I know this is asking a lot, but I promise to figure this out as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I will not do anything to be sorry to you. As long as we are together, you are my wife, and I will remain loyal.”Unable to use my voice without revealing my feelings, I nodded. My eyes burned from holding back my tears. Blinking a few times, I looked around the living
Twist of Fate Chapter 43
Zydan-I took Arielle to the spare bedroom upstairs, put her in bed, and covered her with a blanket. I hadn’t wanted to carry her, but she wouldn’t respond when I tried waking her in the car. Now, I wanted to hurry up and go home so I could shower and wash her scent off me.As I turned to leave, Arielle suddenly woke up and grabbed my hand. “Please don’t go.” She pleaded.“I am allowing you to stay here for the time being, but I don’t live here anymore.” I took my hand from hers and stepped out of her reach. “I also want to remind you that I am still married, and it isn’t appropriate for you to hold my hand.”Arielle sat up, and a timid expression fell over her face. “I am sorry. It's just that I am scared and don’t want to be left alone." she murmured.“I will stay in the house until you fall asleep, but that is the best I can do. If you have a problem with that, I will leave now and ask someone else to stay with you.”She said nothing more as she laid her head on the pillow. Leaving
Twist of Fate Chapter 44
Accalia-Over the weekend, I tried to focus on anything except Zydan and Arielle, so I stayed at the Base to study my mother’s things. When I dropped by the house on my way to work to get changed, I noticed Zydan hadn’t been home either. It was probably for the best that we gave each other a little space.“Are you sure you want to go in today?” Silica asked after I was finished getting ready for work.Silica had come with me because I decided to transfer everything I had of my mother's at the apartment back to the Base. I had a feeling I would be spending a lot of time there. I decided that until Zydan got his priorities straight, I didn’t need to stress over him.“I am sure. Even if I don’t want to deal with Zydan or Arielle right now, I still have to go to work. I hope to talk to Jason later and gain insight into this microchip situation. I heard he had studied microchips in college.”“Okay, but if something happens, let me know.”Smiling, I patted Silica on the shoulder. “Don’t wor
Twist of Fate Chapter 45
Zydan-All morning, I have been trying to find clues about where Arielle was six years ago. My only clue was that she had been sent to live abroad a few years prior. There was nothing about when she returned to the country or anything else after that.Obviously, she had returned, but it would help if I knew when. Since I couldn’t find anything, I could only believe that Arielle was telling the truth. The more I tried looking into it, the more intense my migraine became. Why was it so difficult to investigate Arielle’s past?“We have a problem!” Jaxon burst into my office without knocking.“Can’t you knock before you enter?” I sighed as I glanced up at him.“That isn’t important right now. You need to get downstairs. There is an issue between Arielle and Lia, and Arielle fell down the stairs. Lia is…”I was out of my seat and out of my office before Jaxon could finish. As I ran as fast as possible to see what was happening, my thoughts weren’t on Arielle. I was more worried about if Li
Twist of Fate Chapter 46
Zydan-For the remainder of the day, Arielle didn’t return to work. After finishing my work, I went to seek her out at my house. I found her lying on my bed in my bedroom, reading a book. Although I let it slide last time because I wanted to leave, I wasn’t going to put up with it this time.“Get out.” I demanded.“What is wrong?” Arielle asked, placing the book she was reading next to her on the bed.“This is my room. I want you out.” I entered the room and started packing her items in a duffle bag.After I took her to get her car on Sunday, I followed her to her apartment so she could pack a few things. When we arrived at the house again, I hadn’t gone inside, so I didn’t realize she had moved into my room. As I tossed her stuff carelessly in the bag, Arielle jumped out of bed as if she wasn’t injured at all. I should have known she had only pretended to be hurt at the office.“Why can’t I stay in here?” Arielle tried to stop me from packing her things, but I evaded her every move.
Twist of Fate Chapter 47
Accalia-I felt rejuvenated after spending the rest of the week with my father. It helped that my father hadn’t tried arguing with me about Zydan. Instead, we enjoyed each other's company, went shopping, ate out at various restaurants, and talked about everything except things related to my future.If it weren’t for the fact my father was supposed to be busy the following week, I might have stayed longer. I also knew that I couldn’t keep running from reality. This was the path I had chosen, so I needed to face it.After getting off the plane Friday afternoon, I went directly to the Renegade Base instead of the apartment. I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to see Zydan. When I arrived, Silica practically attacked me with a hug before I could put my kickstand down or turn off my motorcycle.“You have no idea how much I missed you!” Silica had a tight grip around me, nearly squeezing the air out of my lungs.“I was only gone for a few days.” I coughed as I turned off my bike and put my kick
Twist of Fate Chapter 48
Accalia-As Silica’s friend had promised, she finished the dress in time for the event. It turned out better than the sketch she had drawn. She also added an element I hadn’t requested, but I was happy with the final product.The dress's base was a light purple, but it had a second tulle layer of fabric that was a darker shade of purple. No matter what identity I use, my favorite color is still purple. The only changes were the actual style. As Akira, it was more of a gothic style. As Accalia, it was generally a lighter and more elegant style. As Lia, however, I could mix it up.This elegant dress had a gothic flare. Black sequins were scattered over the tulle fabric, while black diamonds covered the corset-style bodice. The only thing I hadn’t asked for was a necklace to accompany the dress, but Silica’s friend gave me a black and purple diamond necklace.She also helped me with my hair and makeup. My makeup was light, and my hair was a messy updo style, giving off the illusion that
