A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 151- Sudden News
With a smile, a sincere one, I hadn’t emerged in a painfully long time, I was humming a melody to myself to be finally at home.Work wholeheartedly. Wait for my husband to return. Dinner together. Have an absolutely lovely time. Repeat.Ah, normalcy and domesticity were beautiful. I was preparing for my date with Zayne while being on a call with Dorian, who informed me Antler was out with Ariana for some work.“You tell me, what were you thinking? Calling Ariana back after knowing her history with Antler.” I growled, angrily applying my lipstick.“That is exactly why I brought her back. To forget his present, he could take a look at his past. It will help,” he tried to explain expectantly, which only made me angrier. “From what I see, this is only worsening things.”“I can’t help it. Even if I don’t want it, I need someone to represent me in Zayne’s absence and Ariana is the best candidate.” He slipped the true reasoning.“Antler is just an excuse, no? You need her back and this was
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 150- The Storm Returns
KRISTINE’S POV*********************I was wondering what ‘storm’ Dorian had been talking about, almost intrigued by what it could be. Or, would it be enough to shake an emotionless man like Antler?Only to find a nightmare– for Antler– walking through the front door with him. His frown was deep, not bothering to spare the blonde lady next to him a single glance.Ariana Greene. Antler’s first girlfriend.“There is no way you did this, Dorian.” I growled, glaring at him.He made the worst decision yet dared to stand nonchalantly next to me, seemingly proud of his actions.That dumb fuck.“Oh, Kristine, hi! How have you been?” She greeted me in her usual chirpy one, but I had known her long enough to know that I must NOT trust it.That smile one moment and stab the next.Forcing a smile, I waved back, “Great, Ariana. What about you? When did you come back?”“Just last week. Boss says I am needed here. Oh, I missed you guys so much.” Without asking, she pulled me into a tight hug, the
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 149- Smile
The next day, I was staying at Dorian’s home. Zayne left for work early. According to him: Stay back and enjoy your time with your brother. I will pick you up on my way home.Dorian was at home, we were spending time together. Chattering, having lunch and making up for the lost time. “Judging the glow on your face, Zayne’s treating you well.” He smiled, ruffling my hair for blessing. “Very well.” I nodded sheepishly. “You had always been attached to him. With me, you ran from home but with him, you stayed.” He added playfully to which I remained silent.No way I could tell him what Zayne truly did. Forming my lips in a thin line, I played along, only agreeing with him to avoid this topic.“He must have convinced you well but then again, you only listened to him.” He continued, pinching my cheek and began to use his phone.“Hmm. But, things have changed. It was not our attachment or our past,” I trailed off, staring at the wedding band that was once a dream.I never fathomed Zayne
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 148- Overwriting Memories
KRISTINE’S POV*********************We finished a quiet, pleasant dinner, the strain of the day dissolving into the tea and the chattering to make up for the lost time. Dorian reached out when we were about to, hope and nostalgia mixing together on his face, uncertain.“You guys haven't been here in so long,” he said softly. “Why don’t you stay the night? Please?”I hesitated, glancing at Zayne, “I don’t know... Zayne has work tomorrow. What do you think?”Zayne’s hand found my back, “If you want to stay, we can. I don’t mind. I’ll just head into the office a little late.”I offered him a small, grateful smile. “Thank you.”Then, we went back to my room and soon the strong hint of a long-lost memory hit me. The things, the moments, the time, bringing a brief smile on my lips. Soon, my eyes landed on it, the collection of my dragons lined up on the window sill– exactly how I left it. “Oh Lord,” I whispered, trailing my fingers over the familiar plushies. “My old room.”Zayen was ob
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 147- Pleasant Time
ZAYNE’S POV******************I was waiting for Kristine to return, holding a drink in my hand with Antler on my side. He was using his phone, scrolling through random posts with dead eyes. His frown was unsettling.We were sitting in silence until Antler decided to speak up casually.“So you finally did it, huh?” “What else was I supposed to do? This has become necessary.” Truly, there was no other choice than to return to her memories and remind her of her true self.“How is she doing?” “Fine for now. And after getting her closure with Dorian, she will be back to normal,” I enunciated, studying his unmoving expressions. He simply hummed. I frowned and shifted close, pressing harder on my words to knock some senses in his mindless self.“See? Getting ‘closure’ which you refused to achieve.”“I don’t want it.” I growled, “Is the pain worth it, Antler?”“Yes. It is something. Better than nothing.” He waved his hand to shrug me off, rising from his seat. Tsk, he was truly stubbo

“Why do you have to be like that!? Why can’t you just… leave me be?!” The tears I held back so far began to spill miserable. The resonance of my wails echoing in the room as I clung onto him. My nail digging into his strong muscles, soaking his shirt. My heart’s heftiness was too much, I couldn’t express it properly.“You didn’t have to do this much for me, Dorian… Why did you agree to go to jail on my words? Why didn’t you justify?” I sobbed.His sacrifice for me had pushed me into an abyss and his one sentence had liberated me from the suffocating stress.“Your recovery mattered the most. You were too… traumatized. I couldn’t fathom abandoning you in darkness.”He was taken aback but soon relaxed. He hugged me back, kissing the top of my head, caressing me to diminish my ache.Pulling away slightly, tears were gleaming on my cheek as I looked up at him, showing no sign of wavering as usual.“Dorian…”“You are my princess, Kristine.” A smile etched on his lips, brushing the tears a
