NIRELLE

By the time I go around the table trying everything the chef has made, I am full, and it feels like I haven't had anything to eat. I walk back to the kitchen, and now the chef is present. I do not get another opportunity to silently watch them work, as the lady who had attended to me earlier spots me right away.

"Mrs. Vexley?" She seems shocked that I made my way to the kitchen again, but she tries her best not to show it. She walks to me, maybe hoping she can help me with something, but she is not the only one making way for me.

"Mrs. Vexley," the chef says as he stops in front of me. "Was the breakfast to your liking?" he asked in a French accent that was well articulated. Lucien was so influential that he had a chef flown in to serve him.

"Of course," I say, nodding slowly. He looks at my face, and I can tell that he is staring at the bruises. Maybe I should have done something to cover it up before presenting myself to his staff like that. He tries his best not to let his

  • NIRELLE    TOO QUIET TO BE A TRAP

    NIRELLEI had cried more than I thought I would. It had been a while since I let someone overwhelm me as such. Since I decided to stop letting the Thamore family feed on my pain. I knew not to cry again, especially in front of them, and as I began to learn how to suppress my emotions, it became easier to deal with them. Why did this thing with Lucien tick me off more than it was supposed to?I had seen the video of Theo with Cassian, and none of it made sense. There was no other person in the restaurant with us, and it looked as if someone had used a phone to record it and not the CCTV. That means that it had been properly created to divert attention, and this must have been done by Cassian.Who else would do such a thing? He was the only one with the power in that room, but why would he? I wanted to call him and ask why, but all I could think of was Lucien. He must be asleep, but I couldn't sleep because I was worried about what this would do to his image."Cassian had nothing to gai

  • NIRELLE   THE NIGHT THE DEAD RETURNED

    LUCIENI am startled awake out of bed, sitting down and trying to calm my heartbeat in my chest. I look around the pitch-dark room before my easy fall to the bedside alarm clock. I sigh as I realise it is a few minutes past 2 am. I had fallen asleep only to be awakened by this nightmare. It had been years since I had had one. I had managed to keep away all of the triggers that caused them, but now that I had to talk to Nirelle about it, all of the memories I had thought I had overcome came flooding back.So I had not been able to overcome it? I just thought that I did. I sigh and rub the sleep out of my eyes; with this, I know I won't be able to sleep again. I take up my phone and sit facing the large window that overlooks the entire house floor with one view, and I begin to try and catch up with work. I am scrolling endlessly on social media because it is impossible for me to focus on one thing now, and it is a much-needed distraction that I need.My eyes fall on a video, and my hear

  • NIRELLE   MORALLY GREY

    LUCIEN"Pick a side?" The sound of that does not sit well with me. She is not supposed to pick a side; she is supposed to be on mine no matter what. How do I tell her that even though Cassian was a teenager, he already endorsed all of the bad deeds his father and hers did? How do I tell her that Cassian knew every single atrocity her father committed against her, and all he did was hide it well?He had watched both men destroy my family over money and then swept it all under the carpet, and yet no shame at all? He knew in detail all the evil things his parents did, yet he was okay with it, and now he was ready to indulge and do all of that too."Lucien, I am not a tool for you to use; you don't own me. If you want me to help, then you need to explain it to me in a way I can understand fully."

  • 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.
