I chew the risotto gently, the flavour bursting in my mouth. It was not as perfect as the chef's meal, but something about this made me feel different in my chest. As though it was about to explode and make a mess of the place. He insisted that we move to our bedroom. It felt weird to declare it as our room, but Lucien had wasted no time moving my things into the room, and even though I was yet to redecorate, it was ours.

When we were done eating, we sat facing each other, sipping on some tea. "I think life is kind of unfair," I murmured with the teacup on my lip as I felt the hot steam touch my face.

"Unfair?" he asked, raising his eyebrow in confusion.

"You have never cooked before, and yet the meal you cooked seemed to be almost perfect." I was trying to inflate his ego as well as compliment him on the meal. "You seem to be perfect in everything."

"Of course I am perfect; I am a Verlice," he said smugly with a smirk on his face. He could not even take my compliments with hum

Lucien didn’t just cook salmon and risotto; he went full “Here, have part of my empire, and maybe let’s have a daughter someday.” Be real with me: would you faint, cry, or scream first if a man knelt down and handed you shares in his company like that?

  • NIRELLE   BEFORE THE WORLD SEES US

    LUCIENIt is finally the unveiling day, as Nirelle had been calling it. The day I finally step out of the shadows into the limelight, to stop fighting from inside and take my weapon on full display to destroy everyone. They all thought that this was the end? That I was going to back down? This was only the beginning for me, as I still had quite a lot to accomplish."Hey, handsome," Nirelle walked in from the closet, a bathing robe wrapped around her body firmly, and her hair wrapped in a towel as she walked to me. "Are you ready?" She stopped in front of me and eyed me from head to toe."Do you think I look ready?" I asked, and she pressed her finger to her chin and inspected me from head to toe."I think you need to change," she murmured to me, and I looked down at the suit I wore. Was something wrong with it? Why did she want to take it off?"But you chose this outfit last night," I say, and she nods."I thought it would look good on you; that's why I chose it, but at this rate, I w

  • NIRELLE    TOO CLOSE, NOT CLOSE ENOUGH

    LUCIENHer questions woke some kind of fear I was not aware I had in me. I was so used to hiding that I was no longer sure if I could face the world and be my true self."Of course," I say, trying not to make her worry about it. She already had a lot on her plate, so adding this to it was not in question."That is a lie," she said, glancing at me. She looked like she could see my heart and tell what I was thinking. "I know you feel afraid, and it can be okay to be afraid, but you might be glad that you did it.""Oh really?" I want to act as if I don't find her words comforting, but I am sure the extra smile on my face was telling a different story."I was afraid to come here, but I am glad that I did," she said as though she was trying to motivate me."You were afraid?" I asked, and she nodded. "You challenged me on your first night here," I say, and her face grows into confusion. "You don't remember? When you said firmly that you'd never sleep with me."I did not mean to bring up inti

  • NIRELLE   AN EXCUSE OR THE TRUTH?

    LUCIEN"It's wonderful that you are finally going public after all this time," said one investor in the meeting. I had kept them fully in the loop of everything I had been doing, and that was what kept me relevant to them."Yes, I agree; the world needs to see and behold the face behind the great Lucien Vexley. Even I can't wait," another chimed in.When I announced my intention to them, they all seemed to welcome the idea."You pulled the words right out of my mouth," another said, beaming with joy. In meetings like this, I always liked to have my camera switched off and allowed them the liberty of whichever they would prefer to do. I knew what they all looked like, and it was really a wonder that they chose to do business with me, even though they had no clue what my face was like. Maybe business was really not about what one looked like."There must be some kind of celebration of this effect," the first man who had spoken earlier said again. The door creaked open, and Nirelle stood

  • NIRELLE    CRACK IN THE MASK 

    NIRELLE'Is this some kind of joke?' Zane asked before I could voice my thoughts. "You want to act as if you were worried about me? Now after eleven years?""I have been searching all over for you," Yvette said, trying to reach out to him."You know if you want to act, you need to get your story right at once so you do not jump from story to story," I say, lifting myself from the sofa and coming to stand beside Zane. "Did you already forget that you had told the entire story to me?" I ask, and she looks like prey that had been caught in a trap and was trying to escape.She let out a sigh and a laugh and then plunged aggressively to the sofa beneath her. "Did your husband arrange for you to meet him?" She asked, pointing from me to him, and then a sly smile appeared on her face. "Or did you begin to remember your past, and then you went digging?" she asked, and I was shocked.Why did I think that she was going to accept her wrong and apologise? Why did I expect anything better from her

  • NIRELLE    THE WAITING ROOM

    NIRELLESeeing the gates of the Thamore mansion makes me sick to my stomach; I feel my legs and hands shaky as we approach it. I close my eyes to calm my shaky breath, but it does not work; it is almost as if I had been plunged into some kind of fear."Stop the car!" I say, startling the driver and causing him to stop abruptly in the middle of the road. We were so lucky that this wasn't the main road; if it were, then we might have caused an accident."Nirelle?" Zane turned to me with his eyebrow going up in confusion. "Are you okay?""Can I just have a moment to myself?" I ask, and he nods. I see him look at the driver from the mirror; he nods curtly, and he gets out of the car, so we are alone."If you want us to, then we can go home," he suggested, and I was about to give in. I opened my mouth to agree, but I stopped myself."No, I can't go home; if I do, then it would feel like she is winning," I say, and he looks at me as if he were trying to unravel what I was saying to him. "I
