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

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

NIRELLEThe flashes of light from the door to the stage are blinding, almost too blinding, but I manage to deal with it because even though everything is spiralling out of control in the air, his hands in mine keep me grounded. It reminds me that the role of Mrs Vexley might be glamorous to the public, but I was still just his wife in whatever world. As I stand on the stage behind the podium, I finally see what Mr Wolfe looks like.Enoch sits in the middle with Mr Wolfe right beside him. Even after they had dragged each other all the way on the internet, they seemed to show solidarity. Maybe they needed it; after all, they were now up against the enemy they weren't aware they had put up for themselves.Cory sat right beside my dad on his right, while Mom stood next to Cory. I look at her face and Cory; either they are better actors at suppressing their emotions, or they had no idea what Enoch had done before now. Next to Mr Thanore are Cassian and his mother. Unlike the expression of c

NIRELLE"Are you okay?" I ask when I realise that he probably has no idea where he was leading me to, since it was his first day here, and if we were lost, I would not be able to help him retrace our steps.He stops in his tracks, his shoulders squaring as he gently turns to me. It was as if he had been set free from whatever spell it was that was over him. He lets out a breath and nods with his eyes shut tightly. I wiggle my hand in his, and then with my free hand, I hold it over his hand, even though mine can't cover his completely."I am sorry for pulling you all the way here," he muttered as he opened his eyes and began to search. "We can go back the way we came," he said, pointing behind us, but I am not sure if we can do that because I was concerned about him; I had not seen the way we came."Did you see the way we came?" I asked, and he blinked rapidly and shook his head at me. "I guess we can just try and find our way out," he nods in response. "I understand that was hard, wasn

LUCIENI look down at Nirelle, who is sprawled on my chest, her hair in a web behind her and her hand curled into a fist on my body. I did not think that she would have given that much pleasure to want to never stop, but she looked tired, so I had no option but to restrain myself. This was the start of it all, and from here on out, I was never going to let her go."Do you still think having kids is a bad idea?" I ask, and she raises her head with her hand on my body and her head on it. She blinks at me as if she does not know what she is supposed to respond to that. "You do not have to answer that if you do not want to," I say, and she shakes her head."I am afraid that we might have a lot of kids," she said, her voice hoarse. Why did it turn me on already? She gently took her head out from underneath her chin and traced the line on my chest. "I might not be able to stop myself," she adds, and I almost blush like a baby at her confusion."I was thinking the same thing." I try to make m
