NIRELLE

"So how was work?" Theo began, and Lucien looked up at him. I wondered if he would act the same as he had before, being a mean jerk to me. I guess we all do fall for the bad boys once in our lives. I bit down on the fish I had shoved into my mouth without a word.

"You were there." Lucien's tone is cold, and it is almost as if he had become a different man from the man who was all over me in the room just a few minutes ago.

"I was, but I was over at my office, and you were at yours, so I would like to know..."

"It was fine," Lucien said in a dismissive tone.

"I heard Olivia James came over today. What did you talk about?" Zanea asked as he casually pushed his fork stuck on broccoli into his mouth. I watch Lucien's grip on the fork tighten and his back straighten as if he were under an instructor's watchful eyes. His eyes dimmed a bit, maybe not too much, but I saw it.

With jaw tight and a voice sharp like a knife, he muttered. "I do not know."

"You do not know? Did you not meet

Did your stomach drop with Nirelle’s at that table? Because mine did. The poor girl thought dinner was about fish and broccoli, not other women trying to steal her husband with business deals. What would you do if someone tried to buy their way into your marriage? Be honest in the comments — and don’t leave me hanging, or the next chapter might hurt more than Olivia’s offer

  • NIRELLE   THE THIRD OPTION 

    NIRELLEThey were taking too long to reveal the project, and it was making me worry that they already had a clear idea of what we were trying to do. "Don't worry about that," Lucien had said when I brought my worry up to him. "They would be too ashamed to gather all these people and not do anything." He was too sure, so I had to agree with him in the end."Thanks to everyone who has honoured our invitation tonight, and a special thanks to Mr and Mrs Vexley." Mr Wolfe on the stage had a huge smile on his lips. "For gracing our occasion," he added, and I was trying to understand this man.The Thamore and Wolfe family seemed not to mind that they were on the wrong side of Lucien's anger; they wanted to still ride the waves as long as they could."This is the first event they are attending since becoming public, and when my son said we had to send out the invitation to them, I was almost too sure they would want to avoid the public for now, but they graced the event."I felt my finger tre

  • NIRELLE   FIGHTING A TRAP

    LUCIEN"See, it's not that bad to sit without your wife," Olivia said as I lowered myself into the seat."It is that bad.""Mr Vexley, are you a simp?" She asked, making everyone at the table look at me. Was she trying to make this a bad thing? Why? So she could use that as an entry point?"Of course, it's my wife, and if I am not a simp to her, then who?" I ask, raising my eyebrow in question."Oh my goodness!" one of the older couples on our table said. "I wish all of our husbands were like that.""I know, right?" the other woman added as she turned her nose up to the man sitting beside her. "All they know is to take care of themselves.""Mr Vexley, it is an honour to be seated at the same table as you are," the husband of the first woman said, stretching his hand to me. "I am Mr Stone of Stones and Bricks, and this is my lovely wife, Anna Stone," he said, motioning to the older woman."Mr Vexley, I commend you," she said with a thumbs up in my direction. I did not know what to make

  • NIRELLE   QUEEN OF QUIET

    NIRELLEThe party started as a normal one should. The host announced that Cassian had to come onstage to give a speech. I zoned out because not only was I not interested, but I also did not want to have to listen to him lie over and over again for no reason. About how good the technology was and how they had spent years trying to perfect it, when all they had done was force an intern to sign away his patent rights to them with a measly sum.The intern, who was a student, did not think that his technology was good enough, and so when the Wolfe family offered him much for his little, he was quick to sign the papers even though it was extremely disadvantageous to him."I do not want to cause trouble with them," he had said to Zane when he wanted to meet him. "I have money now; that should be okay," he added with a smile. Should it be okay that money was involved, even though an idea was completely stolen and taken without them thinking about it twice?Whatever Cassian was saying must hav

  • NIRELLE   AT THE FAMILY TABLE

    NIRELLELucien's thunderings did not seem to faze the girl. She only bowed with her lips tight and her face straight. It was almost as if she had been trained for this exact scenario. They knew what was going to happen, yet they still went ahead with it. "I am sorry, sir, but I can't do that."I couldn't believe the nerve of those people. With Lucien on the verge of losing his temper and the poor girl, people were already whispering, and maybe they anticipated this; maybe this was really what they wanted. I tug on his hand, and he looks at me."I am sure there is nothing she can do." I hope he agrees with me. My words seem to calm him down. He shakes his head but says nothing, and I let out a sigh of relief. "Let us just sit separately for now.""But...""It would be just a few hours," I say, cutting him off, still trying to let the smile stay on my face. I was extremely angry at what was going on, but I wanted them all to think I was nothing but a doll; the more they underestimated

  • NIRELLE   THE SINISTER SMIRK

    NIRELLE"You both should go in first," Theo said as we stopped at the entrance of the hall. From the outside and all of the cars and people lined up at the entrance, it was pretty obvious that the Wolfes had tried for this to be a perfect event. The kind that the media would talk about for years to come."Why don't you want to come with us?" I asked. "We can go in together.""No, no, go on in; we will meet you inside," Theo added, holding Zane back before he could agree."Do not forget the plan has to go smoothly," Luicen said. I had thought he was going to try to convince them that they had to come in with us, but it seemed he was more bothered about other things in the end."Aye aye, captain," both men saluted as the door opened and Lucien stepped out before stretching his hand to me. I took it, and soon we were standing hand in hand. The limo zoomed from behind us, and a staff member was ready to greet and direct us up the magnificent stairs into the hall."Mr and Mrs Vexley, I wou
