LUCIEN

I have never been so confused in my entire life. I was so sure that things were going well, and then she became so distant. It is even worse than before because now I am aware of what it means. How did things go so south? The image and my reaction. I had expected myself to be happier about the situation, but I felt my stomach drop into a pit as if I had done the wrong thing when I was sure that I had not.

On the call with Cory, I was just trying to defend her, but it had turned into this whole thing. I guess my luck was real, just that bad luck following me all around.

"How was your little date?" Theo enters the study with a smug smile on his face. He took one look at me and rushed to me. "Did you manage to fumble it?" His question was harmless, but why did it feel like an attack?

"I did not." I shake my head, but he does not seem to believe me.

"I would have thought that after that night you'd be beaming and basking in the bliss of being in a new relationship, but it's you. You

AUTHOR’S NOTE Have you ever done something with the purest intentions, only to hurt someone you care about in the process? Lucien was just trying to protect Nirelle, but his silence screamed louder than anything else. And Nirelle? She's finally learning that being seen doesn’t always feel safe—especially when the wrong people are still watching. Now let’s be honest, who else wanted to slap Cory and throw Theo a mic for his TED Talk on emotional maturity? If you felt anything reading this chapter—hurt, healing, hope—drop a comment below. Because if I don’t see at least ten comments, I might just send Cory a phone charger so he can keep calling. Let’s protect Nirelle and teach Lucien how to show up properly. Deal? Love, The Author Who Believes Apologies Taste Better With Dinner

  • I Married My Father's Enemy   THE END

    NIRELLETWO YEARS LATER. Lucien had insisted on a party for the boys, even though all they wanted to do was run around the house and destroy all of the things I thought were the right decorations for the house. The party was lavish with all the important people around. I had made some friends, but I was still sceptical about each of them. I did not want to be in a situation where I was pushed to do evil because of the friends I had.They had all shown respect for my face so far, but I knew that things like that did not last for long. If they ever had the opportunity to switch ships for any reason best known to them, then they were going to do it without thinking twice, and I knew it."Congratulations, Mrs Vexley," Rain, one of the women, had said. "It's so nice seeing the boys grow.""Thank you," I say, beaming with pride."I am sure they would grow to be little heartbreakers; just at two years, and they are already so stunning to look at." Ardian and Aiden had turned out to be two be

  • I Married My Father's Enemy    BORN IN LOVE

    TIMOTHY"I am definitely not going to walk down the aisle and entertain guests while my stomach is still as big as this." Nirelle shook her head. I had been convincing her that we had to get married before the babies came, but she refused, and no amount of pleading on my part seemed to convince her even a bit."It's going to be a closed wedding and...""I already said no, didn't I?" She tilted her head. She had been on edge lately; with the baby on the way, she was getting scared at every concern. What if I did worse things for my kids? Would I also be a bad mother?. Every time I managed to assure her that she was already doing so well, and the babies weren't here yet. Once we had the babies in our hands, then she would feel better."But why?""Because we are going to have pictures, and I do not want a big belly showing in the images.""It's going to be a private wedding, so you do not have to..." A painful gasp from her lisp made me stop. I held her arm gently as she began breathing

  • I Married My Father's Enemy    CHAINS AND CLOSURE

    NIRELLEI had never dreaded that I would walk through prison walls to see my mother or anyone. I had no idea why I wanted to see my mother. "You might want some kind of closure," Theo had said when I announced at breakfast that I wanted to see my mom.Lucien scrunched up his face in disgust, and Zane said that no matter how I explained it, he could not understand why. I had no idea why. Could it be that I wanted an apology? Could it be that I needed them to hear why she did it, even though it was clear that she was being selfish?I sit in the cold room that feels just a little better than the one she locked Michael in for years. I swallow multiple times as I sit in the chair. Even the presence of the two bodyguards behind me did not make me feel better. Yvette was never going to hurt me, but Lucien did not like the idea of me walking her by myself, and the only condition he had was that I bring the guards with me.I should have gotten used to it by now, but I could not. The feeling of

  • I Married My Father's Enemy   A FAIRYTALE REDONE

    NIRELLE"We are going to be late.""Just a moment," I shout back to Zane, who was waiting for me while I ran around in the room trying to make myself look good. Lucien had told me that we had another event to attend; apparently, it was a charity ball where we had to buy expensive things to give to charity. I liked the idea of it, but I was not really up to wanting to go out. He asked Zane to bring me along, and he was going to meet us there.I pop my head through the closet door already fully dressed, just trying to match the perfect shoes to the dress that did intend to kill my legs. "It is not like we are the ones to open the event," I chime in before my body disappears once again from view."We aren't opening the event, but I think it would be weird for us to walk in when everyone is already seated.""If you had told me about the event a little earlier, then I would have been ready when you needed me to be," I add. Lucien had already told me about it this morning, and no matter the

  • I Married My Father's Enemy   LOVE IN THE ORDINARY

    NIRELLE"I missed this so much." I snuggled into Lucien's arms more than before; if it were possible, I might have even tried to enter his body. He kissed me gently on my hair, and I felt all the cells in my body respond."I am sorry that it had to hurt you this way.""But you only did it because you had to," I murmur, my finger making continuous circles around his chest. "I know that if you didn't have to, then you wouldn't have done it."His voice drops as he goes on. "I heard that bastard was going to try to rape you once more.""Don't you dare blame yourself for something like that," I say, lifting my head a bit. The victims should never blame themselves for the perpetrators. Even if things were different with us and we had done better, they would have still done it because they do not care about us.""I was so focused on the revenge that I might have hurt you in the process," he murmured, taking my fingers and intertwining his between them. "I won't have been able to forgive myse

  • I Married My Father's Enemy   CIRCLES AROUND US

    NIRELLE"Let's go to the hospital to be sure." Lucien pulled away and held my face with a sad smile on his face."To be sure? Sure of what?""When you were rescued, you couldn't go to the hospital. Mae came to see you, and I am sure that you couldn't get the test done. Let them do a comprehensive test just to be sure that you are okay."I nod, as this was not how I wanted to tell him about the baby. I had something cute planned, but now he was going to ruin it. His hand dropped from my face, and I cleared my throat."I have something to say.""You do not have to ask me for permission to talk," he murmured as he started the engine."Yes, I know that, but it is important." My voice sounds a bit mysterious. He looks at me, and I stay with a straight face. I do not want to give away how happy my heart was at that time."What is it?" His eyes widen, and his smile falters a bit. "Did something happen? Something I should know about?""Yes," I stop myself to build the suspense a bit, and he l
