GLASS BETWEEN US

NIRELLEI had never had a longer ride from the Thamore mansion to the house. It felt like, instead of progressing, every turn on the motorway or every car we overtook set me a step backwards. By the time the huge black iron gates finally come into view, my mind and body are exhausted.I feel like the weight of my mind can't be supported by my legs any more. My legs are giving way, and I am a bit sad to see that even though Lucien knew that I was around, he had not come down to see me. I step into the house, and Theo meets me at the door."Hi," he waves awkwardly at me as he stands a few steps away from me. He looks as though any small move towards me would make me break into a thousand pieces, and maybe he was not thinking it, and maybe I was the one projecting, but it did not make it better to think of it that way."Hello," I choke out, feeling tears brimming in the lids of my eyes. I was going to burst into tears any moment from now, and I did not need to be standing in front of him

THE EDGE OF RAGE

NIRELLEThe next time I can make sense of my surroundings, I am sitting on Lucien's bed, the room dark with only one dim light coming from a lamp in the distance. The tears seem to be coming to a stop on my end."I am sorry," Lucien says, and I look up at him. I was at the edge of the bed, and he was on his knees right in front of me. Confusion filled his face."Why..." I want to ask more, but I am even lucky that I was able to successfully let one word out."I was afraid that you were going to face your past, and that fear turned to anger, and I couldn't tell why I was angry, and I avoided you when you got back, using Theo as my shield because I did not know how to face you. I did not want my anger to be misplaced on you, and I wanted to stay away until I was able to sort my feelings, but..." He stops himself and runs his hand through his hair aggressively.He moves closer and holds my hand, squeezing it as if it were his only hope. "All of that is an excuse. I was a jerk, an annoying

THE THIRD HALL

NIRELLEThe feeling of a lingering hand underneath my dress jerks me awake, and I scramble, sitting in bed and looking around the room. I don't know why I was suddenly experiencing the nightmares again when I had thoughts that I was getting better."Are you okay?" Lucien's voice is sleepy, and I feel bad for waking him with my madness."Yeah," I try to speak as normally as possible, but I am sure that I sound like a suffocated chicken. I clear my throat, and I hear the lamp click before light illuminates a part of the room."Was it a nightmare?""Every time I close my eyes, I feel his hands on me; I can't shake off the feeling," I confess, because at this point there is no need for me to hide anything from him."What can I do to make it better?" he asked. I look up at him, and his face shows confusion. I can't clearly see his face, but his eyebrows are knitted together, and his mouth is in a pucker as his eyes stay on me. "I wish I knew what I could do to make it better," he adds when

THE LOSER'S PRIZE

NIRELLEWe somehow managed to make ourselves comfortable on the couch, and Lucien pulled out some board games."My family liked to play this together," he said as he set it in front of me. I stare at it like it is some sort of UFO. "You don't know how to play Snakes and Ladders?" he asked when he noticed my confusion. I look up at him and shake my head."Snakes and ladders?""I will explain the game to you." He settled in beside me and pulled a blanket over my legs. He spent the next ten minutes explaining the game, and according to him, it was supposed to be a simple game, but the more he tried to explain it, the more I could barely understand what he meant."You know what? Let's just play; people learn more by doing," he said in a cute, kind of frustrated way before setting up the game for us. I had to admit that at first I was completely lost on everything going on, and that caused him to somehow cheat."I did not cheat." He shook his head when my accusation came on him strongly."Y

KNOCK, CONFESSION, RING

NIRELLE"Nirelle?" I hear Lucien's name at the door, and my heart races. We had spent twenty-four hours on the third floor because I asked. I had tried all day to avoid looking in his eyes because I was scared that even though I was fearful of him touching me, I wanted him to. I take a deep breath, walk to the door and open it.His hand hangs in the air in a fist as he is about to knock again. "Hi there," I whisper as the scent of his cologne and bath soap fills my nose."Can I come in?" He asked, still lingering on the other side of the door. With my hand still holding the other side of the door, I take a step back, and he moves into the room."I want to say something important," he said, looking around the room, and I nodded. "Let's sit," he motioned for the couches, moving towards them."Oh, okay," I say as I follow him. My mind is blank, but I want to know what he means, so I sit down. He leans forward with his fingers intertwined in each other as he looks directly at me. I try my

THE PRICE OF KNOWING

LUCIEN"I have been trying to block every outlet, but at the rate Cassian seems to have found a way to override us," Theo said over the line. I feel my heart drop."What are you saying?" I ask not because I do not understand what he means, but because my heart can't bring my mind to understand what he is saying."Lucien, can you listen to me?" He asked and waited for me as if he wanted to be sure that I was with him before he could say anything."Cassian is publishing that the marriage between the Vexley and Thamore families is used to launder money using paper companies and that there is evidence that you are maltreating Nirelle as well," Theo repeated the words.I rose hastily to my feet, with Nirelle mirroring my actions. I feel my free hand clench into a fist by my side as my jaw tightens in annoyance."Lucien?" he called, and I blinked, looking around the room."Theo, can I call you back?" I barely managed to choke out."Lucien?" I heard my name, but it sounded too distant, as tho

THE BROTHER I FORGOT

NIRELLELucien left the room after a while and came back up when Zane got to the house. I had not been prepared to see him, and I thought it would take at least a few more weeks before I saw him. He was here now, and it would be extremely weird if I just chose to ignore him while he was around. I had no idea how long he was going to stay at the house, and it felt quite stupid that I would be the one sneaking around."Are you ready?" Lucien asked, and I bit my cheeks. I had been chanting in my head all day, but still I was not sure if I could step in front of him."I have no idea how I am supposed to face him," I reply, and Lucien nods, getting close to me and holding my hands. "I had forgotten all about him, but it seems like he remembered me. It's going to be awkward," he seems to agree. I had expected that he was going to tell me not to worry, that it was going to play out well, but it seemed that my fears were valid because they were real."He would understand," he said. Was he real

THE MOTHER’S CHAIN

NIRELLEDinner is awkward, but it seems like I am the only one feeling out of place. Lucien, Theo and Zane seem to be having the time of their lives recounting how they lived when they were in school and all of the fun things they had done together. While they seemed to live life, all I did was suffer in pain. It seemed like I was the only one who worried about the Cassian case hanging over our heads."Are you okay?" Lucien's voice in a whisper was carried to me through the laughter around the table. I look up and wonder how this man has let go so much. He had been against talking at the table, but he had no problems with Zane continuously bringing up something to talk about. I was not even worried about that in the moment; I was just worried about how relaxed they all looked.I drop the fork in my hand, and it clatters against the dinnerware. The laughter dies down, and everyone drops their eyes on me. I didn't want to disrupt their fun and thought I would slip away to the room and ju

THE PSYCHIATRIC LIE

NIRELLE"Before we talk, your husband said you had to eat." He pushed the tray so it was no longer at the centre of the table but now more towards me. I looked down at the covered plate, and then he opened it to reveal a bowl of oats. I look down at it. Lucien was beginning to know me more than I thought. I was hungry, but my appetite was gone, so I gently lifted the bowl and began to fill my mouth, only chewing on it for a few seconds."Isn't it funny how the world works?" he said, and I looked up from my bowl to see him looking around and not at me. I make a 'hmm' sound and continue stuffing my face. I was forcing myself to eat so that Lucien would not be disappointed, and I could hear what Zane had to say."When I met Lucien and Theo at the university, all I saw were friends and not revenge allies, but it seems like the world had other plans for us," he said, and I wonder what his life would have looked like and how he lived. So when Lucien reached out with all the questions, I was

PROGRESS

PROGRESSNIRELLEI tossed in bed, and I am not sure how long it had been since I lay down, but my mind keeps replaying my conversation with Zane. Everything we had spoken about are things I would never have believed. Why on earth did I just forget my childhood? It was easier for Yvette to manipulate me because she went on to fill my childhood with tales of her own. Everything is still fuzzy in my mind. I thought that after speaking to Zane, things in my mind would open up, and I would remember the past so clearly. How great was the trauma from the kidnapping that it had left me this way?I roll over to the edge of the bed before I get off; I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and then I pull over my robe to cover the sleeveless, above-the-knee nightgown I was wearing. I walked out the door and let my legs lead me to Lucien's room. It was already deep in the night, and I should not be waking him up, but he was the only one in the house I could go talk to.I raise my hand to knock,
