NIRELLE

"You can let me go now," I say, my voice barely coming out. He blinks and slowly raises me so I am now standing just a bit from him. "Thank you," I murmur as I create distance between us. "Why are you here?" I ask immediately.

"Well, I heard you were cooking," he said as if I had committed the gravest of sins ever to exist. He seems to be moving on quickly, unaware of the effect he had just had on me. I don't know what it is, but it is unfamiliar to me, and I am not sure I like it.

"Yes, I woke up early and did not know what else to do, so I just decided to prepare a meal for everyone to show my appreciation."

"You don't have to do that." I don't know if he is telling me to warn me or if it's a concern in his voice.

"The staff made it very clear, but if I do not cook, then what should I do? Clean? Handwash your clothes? Do the gardening?" I could not believe I was asking for work. When I had begun working my bones at the Thamore mansion, I had always hoped for the day of my es

  • 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
