A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 229- Learn To Forgive
KRISTINE’S POV*********************Zayne and Carmine were still upstairs in the bedroom. I genuinely hoped they were sharing a heartfelt moment. To place all the hatred behind so we all could begin anew with no more secrets.“Do you think he will forgive you after that?” I asked Dorian, who was casually scrolling through his phone. He seemed absurdly calm for a husband who had just been reunited with his wife after three whole years. Or maybe it was just me, so used to Zayne's extreme, tempestuous reactions that normal composure looked bizarre. “He has to. I had cut the very roots of his hatred.” He shrugged.Turning off the screen and giving me a reassuring smile, pinching my cheeks.“See. I told you, trust me.”Folding my arms at my chest, I took a step towards him.“Did you truly not see her for three years?”“No,” he replied nonchalantly. “I didn’t. I couldn’t risk her safety.”I stared at him for a solid minute, scanning his face up and down. My expression slowly twisted in
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 228- Accept It
I stood near the edge of her mattress, not removing my eyes from Carmine’s unconscious form, desperately waiting for her to wake up.Her doctor said it was the result of her extreme emotional shock… which meant he had recognized me. Slowly, Carmine began to shift uncomfortably, letting out a groan, her eyes opening. “Argh…”“Carmine?” I panicked.“Carmine, can you hear me?” I asked hurriedly.My hands hovering inches from her face, still hesitant to touch her.“Do you… do you know who I am?” Her sapphire eyes blinked, focusing slowly on my face before widening.The ignorance from before was gone, replaced by a flood of overwhelming awareness. “Zayne…” she whimpered, her voice cracking.Her eyes narrowed, a screen of tears blurring her vision.Before I could say another word, she sat up and wrapped her arms around my neck, burying her face in my chest. “I remember… Zayne… my brother…” She sobbed, her whole body shaking as she clutched at my shirt with a desperate grip.“You’re ali
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 227- Revival
A week.Seven days. One hundred and seventy five hours.Every passing second was mocking my sanity. I paced across the living room for the hundredth time, dragging a hand through my hair before turning around and repeating the same path all over again.“Zayne. I am your brother, Hello– No dammit.” She was alive.Carmine was alive.The thought still refused to settle inside my head.“Zayne. Carmine. Siblings. We. Together.” “She is not illiterate, Zayne.” Kristine's gentle voice interrupted my restless thoughts.“Right…” I exhaled, breathless, clutching my heart. “Right, right. Hello Carmine. I am…”“Your only brother. Zayne Nightwood.” Kristine completed my words for me, instructing me. “Your… only brother… Zayne.” The words rolled heavily on my tongue. For years, I had forgotten the sensation of it.“What if she doesn't come?” I muttered and began my pacing again.“What if something happens on the way? What if Dorian changes his mind? What if—”“Zayne.”She stood in front of me,
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 226- Alive and Well
ZAYNE’S POV******************To say I was shocked would be an understatement. An abysmal darkness had taken over my ability to think and react.Taking a step back from pure horror, I no longer knew what to believe. Was I living in ignorance all this time?“How… when…” At a loss of words, my steps stumbled and I fell onto the couch, hanging my head low.My hands were violently trembling. My lips were parted but they failed to form a proper sentence. “Edric knew I gave the order to assassinate his family.” Dorian took a pause, letting the words sink in.“So he decided to kill the woman I married… secretly.” “...You married her?” My voice came out like a shriek this time when hit by another shock. “When?” “On the very day of the attack.” A tear fell from my eyes, hiding my face in my hands. I found myself a failure as a brother. That was the information I should have known. But here I was, listening to secrets that never crossed my mind.“The news reached Edric. Hence the attac
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 225- The True Revenge
DORIAN’S POV******************“Carmine is alive. I hid her. Somewhere safe…” I swallowed the lump forming in my throat, my eyes locked on Zayne. “...As my bride.”Zayne was immobilized. His mind was unable to process the information.“Wh.. What? What are you saying, Dorian?” Kristine whispered, narrowing her eyes, searching for a lie. She shook her head in denial, a warning to not toy with her husband’s heart. She thought I was lying.“I am not lying, Kristine.” Curling my hand in a fist, I attempted to control my raging heart too. Waiting for Zayne to react first. Slowly, his numbness shattered into a feral fury. Breathless, almost devastated, he glared at me before grabbing me viciously by the lapels of my coat.“How dare you?!” He screamed, his mind no longer functioning properly.He slammed me back against the marble pillar, ignoring the groan of pain that escaped his own shattered shoulder. “How dare you hide my sister for three years?! And marry her?!” I didn't fight ba

EARLIER, 1 WEEK AFTER DORIAN WAS RELEASED FROM JAIL.???’s POV:*************I am married...But I don't know who my husband is. Sometimes, I believed it to be an illusion but the wedding ring kept me chained to reality.It was proof that somewhere out there… Someone once loved me enough to marry me.Or perhaps I loved him first.I didn't know.I didn't remember.The doctors called it retrograde amnesia. They said my memories might return in days... weeks... months...It had been three years.The memories? They were non-existent. I only know… I have a husband.Everything else is a blank page. Family? Friends? Parents? Siblings? No idea.“… Where are you…?” I whispered, staring at my reflection in the mirror.I wonder what my husband looked like? Was he tall? Handsome? Smile often? Gentle… Or was he the cold, silent type?What kind of work keeps him away for so long?Was he a businessman? A soldier? A traveler?What if we've already crossed paths on the street without realizing it
