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

  • NIRELLE   A SOFT PLACE TO LAND

    LUCIEN"And you are telling me that you told her that your name was Timothy Verlice because...?" Theo sounded more uninterested than I would have thought him to be, which was strange."I did not want you to be shiced when you come home to her calling me Timothy," I replied, smacking my lips joyfully. She had been the one to pull away from the kiss, and when she walked away, even though it was quickly, I could tell she was just overwhelmed and did not mean to escape."And you had to call me over at work because?" He asked, taking his earlier tone, and I am confused. "I mean, you could have waited for me to get back first, he added, and I can imagine him rolling his eyes."I just wanted you to know," I add lowly and slowly. Why was he reacting this way? Wasn't he the one who had been pushing for us to end up together? What then was this again?"Okay, got it," he was snappy as if something had happened. He wanted to talk, but it was almost as if he was holding himself back."Theo," I cal

  • NIRELLE    TIMOTHY

    NIRELLEAfter breakfast I make my way to Lucien's study; with one knock I let myself into the room, and he lights up upon seeing me as if we had not just parted a few moments ago."What are you doing here?" he asked, shocked to see me."I am here to see Mr. Vexley. Is he in?" I ask, and he tilts his head, squeezing his face as if he were thinking about what I had just asked. "If he isn't in, then I can just come back another time.""Well, if you are here for Mr. Vexley, then I am afraid you might just have to come back another time, but if you want to see Lucien, then I can assure you that he is in here," he said. I did not even think of him responding that way when I asked the question, but I liked it."Are you okay?" I walk to the table and stand on the other side of it."I know that Cassian will be coming for us soon, and I am not sure if I know the way to protect you.""Remember I told you this just a few days ago." I pause and tap on the table gently. "Side by side""Sure," he lea

  • NIRELLE    HOUSE OF GLASS

    NIRELLEWaking up to numerous calls from Yvette, Cory, and Enoch was not what I expected after pissing Cassian off yesterday, but maybe it was a valid reaction from them."How dare you do this to us?" Enoch was screaming over the phone when I called Yvette back. He was not on the phone, but I could hear his thunderous screams around the house. "What do you think you are doing? Do you suddenly think you are on your own now that you are married?""How can you call me first thing in the morning and begin to yell?" I ask, rubbing the sleep off my eyes."Nirelle, what did you do?" Yvette asked. Compared to Enoch's raging voice, she was much calmer."I should be asking you that because I don't understand why you'd call me and begin to scream at me.""What did you do to Cassian?" she asked, and things clicked. They must have had a falling out with Cassian. Did he already take revenge? He was quick, but why would anything he did to Lucien affect them? Why did they seem more pressed than they s

  • NIRELLE   IN HEELS AND CONTROL

    NIRELLEOnce I am done with the pictures, I find my mom in the crowd and meet her. I have to make sure to get out of there before I have to talk to Cassian because I know what they could do."Mom""Honey, say hello to my friends. This is...""I have to go," I say, stopping her. I have smiled for the camera; now they have to do what I want them to, and that is to let me go before I cause a scene at their precious party."Honey," she was startled by my reaction but tried to mask it with a smile. "So soon? The party only started," she added, biting her lips so that they stained the bottom part of her teeth red."Lucien wants me home now," I add, and she nods, turning to her friends and laughing nervously."He is so smitten by her that he can't even be away from her for a moment," she lied because she wanted them to think I had some sort of control over Luien."Oh, I see," they murmured, liking whatever story she was spinning."But I thought he agreed to let you stay for the party," she s

  • NIRELLE   THE GARDEN PARADE

    NIRELLEOnce Yvette is done with my makeup, I barely recognise myself. Her goal was to be glamorous so that everyone knew that I was not on their level."This is much better." She beams with happiness at her work."Mom, don't you think this is too much? It's just dinner with a few of your friends," I say, and then she looks like she has been caught in a lie. "Not a few of your friends?" I ask, and she nods."How many people are coming over?" I ask, feeling my heart beating out of my chest."About fifty guests; your father is throwing a reception for your wedding celebration. It's not like he got to do it before," she said, and I feel my entire face shake with shock."You threw a party on the day I left here. Why else do you need another party?" I ask, and she looks at me like I was being unreasonable."This is a big deal for your father, so just come along to the party and smile for the guests. They all want to see the girl who stole the hear

  • NIRELLE   BLUE DIAMONDS AND CIGARS

    NIRELLEHe gets up from his chair and walks to me. He pulls me aggressively into a hug and lingers for a long time. I pull away after a minute of discomfort. I feel as if I should walk into a washer and wash off the feeling on my body, but I just throw him a weird smile. I don't know if he notices that I am uncomfortable or if he just does not care."Sit, sit," he said, beaming with joy. "You are truly my daughter; look how proud you have made me." He sounds like someone whose child had achieved a great feat. Maybe a cure for cancer or terminal illness. I hold my breath and smile with a nod."I am glad to be your pride." I am shocked at how well I am keeping it together. I was almost sure that I would have lashed out at him by now, but so far, so good. His eyes go up to the two bodyguards standing behind me, and his eyes dart around the room uncomfortably."Oh, just act as if they aren't there." His reaction to them gives me so much peace. I am sure he won't try anything fishy with me
