NIRELLE

I wake up the next morning to a knocking sound from the door. My eyes fly open, and I am trying to come to when the knock comes again. I look at the clock and wonder how I had slept so well when the previous days had been such a hassle for me. I look around the room, trying to get myself.

I rub my eyes gently as I walk out of bed to the door. I pull open the door, and standing there is Lucien, fully dressed in a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a jacket. His hair is slicked back fashionably, and he has a pair of tennis shoes on. I, on the other hand, am in just a long, thin-strapped silk nightdress hanging loosely against my bare skin.

I had been a hundred per cent certain that it was Mara on the other side of the door, and that was the reason I had come to the door like this. I wanted to act confident, as if I didn't care what I looked like standing there almost naked in front of him, but the reaction of his eyes evading my body did not help matters.

"What are you doing here?" My

AUTHOR’S NOTE Okay, pause. We are actually going outside now? Together?? Yes, your favourite reclusive billionaire just said, “I added more to the list because I want to spend more time with you.” Please hold while I go sob in the corner. Now, I know you read that entire scene with your whole heart… So you better not leave this chapter hanging without dropping a comment. If I can emotionally wreck myself to write it, the least you can do is say “awww” in the comments. Or “he’s so real for that.” Don’t be a ghost reader.  Love, Your emotionally unhinged but passionate author

  • NIRELLE   WARD OF LIES

    NIRELLEBy the next time I am conscious of my environment, the room has changed to something nicer but still feels like it's out of a horror movie. "Are you finally awake?"The voice is familiar but feels distant, like something I knew from my childhood and then forgot all about. I try to raise my head and realise that I am in the psychiatric ward I had moved my mom to. What was she lying at here? Claiming I was carsey? How were they going to push me into a marriage with Cassian if they did this?"Are you?" I look up at the voice, and now the man is standing right beside the bed. "Are you feeling much better?""What happened?" I groan as I push myself into a sitting position."Apparently, you currently have a mental condition," he said, like he was revealing a big secret to me."Of course." I roll my eyes because that was what would make them bring me in here. "Who brought me?""Yvette," he said after hesitating to speak. He saw that I was not going to back down until I got an answer,

  • NIRELLE   HOLD OUT

    LUCIEN"Okay, then what is going to happen is that in three days her body will be found somewhere, and there will be no evidence of who it was that killed her." Olivia's voice and the nonchalant nature of it sent fear down my entire body. I felt my legs buckle, but I could not show them.Wolves like them preyed on the fear, and if they showed it, then they would think they had won. "You won't do that because that would only push to show the entire world how despicable you all are.""You want to do that?" Cassian suddenly asked. I had not even noticed him walk in, but obviously, he had to be in the middle of this. "People don't believe the truth; they believe what they are shown and who can put on the best show.""Wow, for you all, the life of a person who should be precious to you means little, and you do not even care." Why did I even expect that at least her mom wanted the best for her deep down and had never done anything for her own gain? Yet she stood there with a firm face, her

  • NIRELLE   THREE DAYS AGO: LOST CAR

    LUCIENTHREE DAYS AGO: NIGHT OF THE LAUNCH"Mr Vexley, I want to talk to you about something urgent." I was already on my way out of the hall when I was cornered by someone whom I could not recognise."I have to decline because I am already on my way home.""I am sure you'd benefit from what I am about to...""I am not looking for any new partnership, so I would like to decline. However, if you want to say more, then you can make it to the office on Monday, and I would do all I can to see you," I say because the disappointment on his face is palpable, and I did not want to be the man who killed the dreams of those younger than him. His face brightened, and then he walked away, leaving me alone.Theo walks into the room, and from where I am standing, I see his eyes dart all over, looking for me. He finally spots me and begins to walk to me, so I do the same. "Where is Nielle?""In the car," I nod and then am ready to apologise when I notice his eyes still darting around. "Where is Zane

  • NIRELLE   THREE DAYS LOST

    NIRELLEWhen I wake up next, I am in an eerie, unfamiliar room. The walls are concrete, and the inside looks like something straight out of a horror film. I try to sit, but the sound of the metal creaking is way too loud. I finally managed to stand up, and the feeling of paralysis I had felt in my leg is now gone. How long have I been out? My hand brushes against the wall, and the rough feeling leaves an uneven brush against my skin. The light inside is glowing on and off, and it makes my head hurt. I should not be shocked that they would think of kidnapping me; they had done it once, so a second time should not have been that hard.I get closer to the wall and notice writing across it. I try to read it, but it makes no sense, so instead I pull the blinds to reveal what is behind the window. Instead, outside, I am met with a brick wall.I try to pull open the door, but it would have been strange if it weren't locked from the outside. I sigh and lower myself to the ground beside my c

  • NIRELLE   THE GAS MASK LAUGH

    THE GAS MASK LAUGHNIRELLE"We have been sitting out here in the limo for a while now; maybe I should go let Lucien know that it is time to go home?" I asked. Theo looked at me with a worried expression."I will go check instead.""Is something wrong?""No, it's just weird that they both aren't here.""Do you want me to come with you?""Are you missing him that much?" He asked, and I nodded. He fake gagged, and it made me laugh. "Just wait here; I am going to be back soon, pulling them both by the ears.""Don't pull Lucien by the ears," I call after him as the door shuts in my face. I press my face into the tinted glass to see the security guards standing at the guard. I lean back into the chair and get ready to throw off the dress as soon as I get home and soak in a hot bath. It had been hard work trying to look pretty for the camera and people all night.I close my eyes and yawn as I suddenly feel too exhausted. I hear the driver's door open and then close. "Are we going already?" I

  • NIRELLE   THE THIRD OPTION 

    NIRELLEThey were taking too long to reveal the project, and it was making me worry that they already had a clear idea of what we were trying to do. "Don't worry about that," Lucien had said when I brought my worry up to him. "They would be too ashamed to gather all these people and not do anything." He was too sure, so I had to agree with him in the end."Thanks to everyone who has honoured our invitation tonight, and a special thanks to Mr and Mrs Vexley." Mr Wolfe on the stage had a huge smile on his lips. "For gracing our occasion," he added, and I was trying to understand this man.The Thamore and Wolfe family seemed not to mind that they were on the wrong side of Lucien's anger; they wanted to still ride the waves as long as they could."This is the first event they are attending since becoming public, and when my son said we had to send out the invitation to them, I was almost too sure they would want to avoid the public for now, but they graced the event."I felt my finger tre
