NIRELLE

Lucien walks in as if he owns the place; of course, he does, but this is supposed to be my room. He ignores my question and walks straight to me, reading everything I had written down. I close the book, but I know it's already too late, as I can tell he has read it.

"Were you contemplating taking up my offer?"

"No," I shout, but that is not going to change the fact that he already saw it. "I did not write that," I say, and the lie flows freely even though it sounds ridiculous.

"Are you hiding someone else here?" he asked in a teasing tone.

I pause, pressing my lips together and staring at him. This man had acted like I was invisible for the entire day, and now he was teasing me? Why? Why was he here?

"Did you bring me up?" I ask and he nods. "Thank you, but next time there is no need for you to do that," I say, and he does not like it. I can tell from the way his mouth shifts slightly.

"I can't let my wife sleep on the couch when she has such a luxurious bed," he says. The wor

  • NIRELLE   PICK A SIDE

    NIRELLE"What do you want?" The sound of my own crying voice startles me just a bit. I look back at Theo blankly. "You did not say he was here, too. Is he here to apologise?" I ask."If I had said he was, would you have opened up?" Theo asked, and I asked myself the question multiple times before shaking my head slowly. All of this was his fault and no one else's. If he had not been a jerk to me last night, then I would not have tried to provoke him and ended up in this mess."Is he here to apologise?" I asked, feeling my throat crack a bit as the words flowed."I don't know why he is here, but I am here to apologise." I can see Lucien's discomfort at his friend not taking the initiative for him."Then only you can come in." I step aside, and Theo steps in. I try to close the door, but it won't; his body is midway in the frame, and his hand is holding t

  • 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   RULES OF REGRET

    LUCIEN"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   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
