"Don't you think you are being too mean to her?"

I scoff and turn to Theo, who pushes a fork into his mouth and begins to chew so loudly without turning his face away from me. He knows how passionate I am about etiquette, especially at the table. "You think this is my fault?"

"Whose fault is it then? Mine?" Theo asked with a head tilt. "I was not the one she called a jerk," he said and then pushed another forkful into his mouth, chewing loudly.

I want to ignore him, but I know he would keep talking about it until dinner was over. "Wait, I believe the word she used is 'difficult jerk,'" he adds and then lets out a loud laugh. "You've been living together for only four days, and you've managed to show her how much of a jerk you are. Women are different, and that means you need to handle them differently."

"I am not a jerk, and you know it," I respond, feeling my jaws square tightly.

"I don't know, Nirelle seems pretty solid at knowing when someone is being a jerk." I drop my cutl

  • NIRELLE   HELD TOGETHER BY FURY

    NIRELLE"You heard the woman," Cassian threw spitefully at Theo, who stood there visibly angry. Why was he angry? It made no sense. Of course, I knew that Lucien was not going to sit still for what I had done, but sending Theo here was part of the plan, at least in my head."I was not talking to you, and you know that," Theo replied in the same tone that Cassian had used."Oh, come on, man, this is just a friendly lunch between two friends. Why are you trying to ruin it?" Cassian's tone changed again. The men were confusing me, but I was not going to chime in again. I wanted to see how this would play out and who would win between Lucien and Cassian."A friendly lunch? With Mr. Vexley's wife?" Theo was asking, and Cassian was frowning now. He looked caught, as if he had been doing something no one should have seen. "I can see that you must already be losing your mind slowly.""Mr. Theo or whatever you are, I am just catching up with my friend I haven't seen in years, so if you could p

  • NIRELLE   TABLE FOR THREE?

    NIRELLEI know I lied to Cassian about the sightseeing, but everything I was seeing was different from the last time I was allowed to wander the world alone. I just searched up fun places on my phone and tried to act normal and blend in, although it was too difficult for me with all the bodyguards. So when I saw people staring, I would know that it was because of the guards and not because they knew how I was and that I was trying to end my life.I get a call from Cassian; he tells me that it is finally time for lunch, and he has been anticipating it. I shrug off the eerie feeling that his statement creates in me, and then I ask the driver to take me for lunch. I could not have been happier at the time he called since I was starving.I walk into the restaurant that Cassian had asked us to meet at, and I can tell that he was trying to impress me with the interior of this place. I walk in and notice that even though it is rush hour, the restaurant is empty with a few guards at the door.

  • NIRELLE   THE WAR DRESS

    NIRELLEI have to make Lucien know that I was serious about sitting out meals with him, so when I know he is down at the table for breakfast, I walk over with a tray I had literally wrestled for with the staff and pack up some things and put them on it. His eyes watch me silently, but I don't mind, as this is my way of making him know I won't sit back and do nothing while he tries to box me again.'This is supposed to be my salvation, my escape, and not another prison. I was not going to allow that at all.' Once I am satisfied with everything I have put on my tray, I walk out and stop by the door. Turning to him, I say, "Good morning, Mr. Vexley," as if this is the first time I am seeing him.I watch his eyes widen in shock and his jaws tighten, but I flash a forced smile at him and walk off. I stopped one of the staff and ensured that I spoke loudly so he could hear me."I am seeing a friend today, so please get the car ready for me," I say, hoping that Lucien next door had heard me.

  • NIRELLE   MY LORD AND HIS LIES

    NIRELLEI angrily step into the room, my eyes darting around the place as if I am searching for something when I am just trying to calm down. I couldn't put my finger on why I had been so triggered by whatever it was that he was doing. I remember what he said about my family being in the news and needing consolation. Maybe this was a good idea for me to get my mind off whatever I was feeling.I take my iPad and begin scrolling through the news, and my mouth drops in shock. It had been revealed that Cory might have to go to jail for embezzlement. I wonder what Enoch would be thinking of his perfect child now. What on earth did Lucien do? How did he know what was going on in the company? Did he have more insider knowledge than the owner of the company?I quickly checked to see if Enoch was trying to restore the image of his son and family, but it seemed like nothing was popping up. Was he not trying, or was his effort getting drowned?I took the paper that he had given me earlier and st

  • NIRELLE   PERMISSION TO SPEAK

    NIRELLEThe first movie is cut short by an urgent call. I look at him as he stands up and walks to the far corner of the room to take the call. I try to act as if sitting alone was not crippling me with fear. He comes back a bit later with a sorry expression on his face."You can keep watching it; I have to leave for something important," he says, sounding vague, but he does not owe me an explanation on what he does with his time, so I nod, trying to understand. "You can stay here and watch the movie still," he adds, and I shake my head, stumbling to my feet almost immediately.I know I was acting weird, but there was no way I was going to stay down here alone. Who knows what could happen if I did? I was not willing to take the risk at all. "We can pick up another tome," I say.I am enjoying the movie, but being down here makes me think that somehow I am going to return to the past and see that all of this was a dream, and I was still stuck in the basement of the Thamore mansion."Are
