Tycelyn POV
"What the fuck are you doing?" Emily, my sister-in-law, stared at me with disgust as she entered the kitchen and I paused the video I was making on my phone. I was making a video of me and Kreed's baby kitty growing inside of me. We had nicknamed her Kitty when we found out about her. "Kreed would vomit upon seeing this," she made a gagging sound with her mouth, "Why do you bother sending those things to him?" she rolled her eyes as she laughed at me. I turned off the camera and kept my phone inside the pocket of my dress as I felt a piercing pain in my heart, Emily didn't have to be that mean. Emily opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of wine, "A new Birkin is out and I would like to get one, I don't need your regular card, I need your black card," Emily poured wine into her glass. I put on the gas to make dinner, there were lots of workers in the house but my mother-in-law preferred I make something for her, "Why not ask Kreed for money, I'm short of cash this month." "Okay," Emily had given a simple answer and I knew that didn't mean good, "Make dinner for two and clean up the mess you created," before I could ask what mess, Emily used her hand to push the bottle of wine and glass to the floor. I couldn't take this anymore, I was in my third trimester and this wasn't what I signed up for, "You Know what, make dinner yourself and clean your own mess," I turned off the gas and left the kitchen out of pure irritation with Emily following behind me. "Tycelyn, what was that noise about?" Mother paused the TV show she was watching when I entered the living room. Emily hurriedly walked past me, she pouted with a sad expression on her face and sat by the side of her mother on the couch, "Your daughter-in-law, the Madam of the house is maltreating me." "You now maltreat my daughter? Look at this good-for-nothing girl," my mother-in-law cried out dramatically, "I curse the day I agreed to your marriage with my son," she spat near my feet. "Mother, I didn't do anything, she_" "Who is your mother? Your mother abandoned you at the orphanage and you think you can call me mother, do I look like Tessa who goes around picking things like you," my mother-in-law's words were harsh as acidic venom that was spat directly out of a snake mouth that could burn the skin. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have," I pushed back the tears that threatened to fall down my eyelids. "I don't even know, your laziness is annoying, just go and finish the laundry," mother-in-law continued playing what she was watching earlier. "I'm tired, can't you send someone else," Mother-in-law turned off the TV, picked up the bowl of water in front of her, and poured it on my body. Mother-in-law got up and came closer to me, "Have you gone mad? You now talk back to me?" She raised her hand to hit me but I never felt the impact. "Mother don't be like that, Tycelyn is pregnant and it's obvious she will be tired, don't worry I will do the laundry and make the dinner," I opened my eyes to see my sister Ziora standing between Mother and me. Ziora Juhani, the biological daughter of my adoptive parents, Ziora was a sweetheart, if I was ever drowning I would trust her to bring me out. She is the only person I trust in this world "Ziora, when did you get here?" Mother smiled at her. My Mother-in-law has always admired Ziora more than me, she worships her. I don't know if it's pure love or because Ziora was the heir to the Juhani's empire. "Just a moment ago," Ziora hugged Mother, "I got you two something though." Ziora has always been thoughtful, she puts everyone before herself and makes sure everyone around her is comfortable Ziora handed both of them the bag she bought for them, "OMG, Ziora this is beautiful! I have always wanted this Birkin," Emily jumped and hugged Ziora, "You are the best, unlike someone I know." "Thanks for the gift, I will get the chef to fix something for you to eat," Mother-in-law smiled at Ziora before retreating to her room and her annoying daughter followed behind her. "Ziora, you didn't have to do that," I queried her, I didn't like the fact she kept buying gifts for my in-laws. "It doesn't matter, by the way, can you get me some fruit? I have been craving them since I left the house," Ziora sat on the couch. "Okay, how is everyone at home?" I entered the kitchen and arranged some fruit and handed it to her. "They are fine, they miss you so much," Ziora said with a smile on her face, she picked the fruit and dropped it down, "It's papaya, I can't have it." "Why can't you have papaya? It's your favorite fruit," I stared at her with confusion written on my face. Ziora looked down at her tummy and smiled shyly, "You are going to be an aunt," She whispered shyly. "Oh my gosh," my hands found their way to my mouth. "Congratulations," I spread my arms and gave her a light hug. "Thanks," Ziora blushed, she tucked her hair behind her ears shyly. I couldn't help but express the happiness I felt for Ziora, "Have you told Kenzal about it?" Kenzal is one of the wealthiest, youngest, and powerful self-made billionaires, his parents are also billionaires but he didn't want anything to do with their wealth because of some family problems I don't know of and Kenzal is Ziora's fiancé. "Not yet but I will tell him later today," Ziora blushed, her blush deepened when a message entered her phone, "Tycelyn can I wear one dress of yours? I want to look sexy and hot for Kenzal." "Sure, which dress do you have in mind?" I was happy seeing my sister happy. "I don't know, let me go through your closet and see what fits, I will be right back," Ziora giggled and playfully pinched my nose before leaving. I decided to watch my favorite TV show because It's been a long since I watched it, I was focused on it but Ziora's phone kept disturbing me with the message tone. I picked up her phone, I knew it was Kenzal because the number was saved under LOML, "Ziora! Ziora!" I paused when I realized the number was similar to Kreed's number. "Kitty, I just arrived in town I'm heading to the hotel," another message came into her phone, the last time I checked Kenzal was already in town. No way, it can't be Kreed's number and Kitty? I hesitated to open her phone but I needed to clear any doubt in my head. I opened Ziora's phone and searched for Kenzal, his number was saved under his name then maybe LOML was his second number right? My shaking hands opened LOML's message and it wasn't Kenzal, there were so many love messages between them, "I'm at the balcony with your wife right now, should I push her off?" I stared in shock, Ziora couldn't have written this, "No, don't what if you fall off too, just keep your distance from the balcony." I felt a pang in my chest, how could Ziora and Kreed exchange these types of messages, it's a lie, it just can't be, there must be a misunderstanding somewhere, Ziora and Kreed aren't like that. "Tycelyn, how about this emerald gown?" Ziora turned around with a smile on her face. The emerald gown was my first wedding anniversary gift from Kreed, "Does it have to be that?" I asked numbly, Ziora's phone still in my hand. "You aren't going to wear it anytime soon after all you are pregnant and who knows what could happen, so I'm wearing it. Thanks, you are the best older sister ever," Ziora said without letting me speak and went back to the room. I still didn't want to believe it, I dialed the number and the person picked up after the second ring, "Babe, I have missed you," Kreed's voice spoke from over the phone, my shaking hands quickly ended the call, put Ziora's phone on silent and dropped it on the table. Kreed wasn't supposed to be in town today, he was supposed to come on the day of Juhani's Empire charity event, so whatever I had just seen was a misunderstanding. "Sis, thanks for the dress, I should get going Kenzal would be waiting by now," Ziora pecked me on the cheeks, picked up her things, and left. I only nodded my head, my mind was in disarrangement, and my heart was in Denial, "Ziora would never do that, Kreed loves me with his life, I was his world, so he would never do that," I mumbled to myself continuously, making myself believe it wasn't true. Shortly after Ziora left, I picked up my bag, "Where are you going?" My mother-in-law asked from behind me when I got to the entrance of the door. "My mother Tessa called for me," I lied without looking back at her. "Okay, be fast and hurry home, you still need to give me a body massage else I will make sure Kreed sends you a divorce paper, I'm sure you don't want that," Mother-in-law threatened, that was her usual word. "Okay," I was not in the state of mind to say anything more, I just wanted to make sure I had misunderstood the situation. "Look at the way she is walking, every nonsense girl," Mother laughed and Emily laughed alongside her. I ignored them and hurriedly left the house so I could catch up with Ziora. I tried stopping a cab when heavy rain began to pour down and luckily a cab stopped at my front, "Ma'am your destination please?" The elderly driver asked calmly. "Please follow that gray Jeep," I pointed at Ziora's car.Tycelyn's POV I arrived at where Ziora entered and it was our father's hotel. I came down from the cab under the pouring rainfall and followed behind Ziora. The receptionist tried to stop me from going to the penthouse because Ziora had given an instruction not to let anyone in, but I had to bribe my way through. I took the elevator to the penthouse, my mind raced with fear, I was scared of what I might see and hear. "How did you escape that wrench?" Kreed's voice was the first voice I heard and Ziora giggled when I entered the penthouse. "Magic," Ziora laughed, "Babe, come here I have missed you." My shaking legs carried my body to the door that was slightly opened and my heart shattered at the sight of Kreed's lip on Ziora's lip, his hands crawling on her legs pushing up the emerald gown I had given to her. My tummy crunched and I could feel everything I had eaten trying to come out of my mouth, "Are you sure you are the only one that can come in here right now?" Kreed ask
Tycelyn's POVI managed to remove Ziora's hand from my hair and pushed her away from me and she fell on the floor while my belly hit the table and I felt a sharp pain in my back and belly.I was trying to recover from the pain when I felt another pain on my cheeks and for a moment I couldn't hear a thing, "Have you gone mad!! Were you trying to harm my woman and our child!"I couldn't believe my ears, Kreed just called my sister his woman in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything.My eyes darted between both of them, I needed to leave here else they would kill me and no one would suspect a thing"For touching my woman, I would definitely kill you," before I could react, Kreed's hands were on my neck pressing the life out of me, my eyes and veins were about to pop, and I couldn't breathe.I struggled to remove his hands from my neck and with the strength in me, I managed to use my nails to scratch Kreed's eyes, he immediately let go of my neck and I fell to the floor.I felt my le
Tycelyn's POV"Miss Tycelyn, please wake up, the guest will soon be here," my personal home worker tapped me gently.Why do I keep hearing Summer's voice? It was weird because she doesn't work at my in-laws' place and why is she calling me Miss Tycelyn and not Mrs Cyrus?"Madam Tessa would kill me if you don't get ready on time for the final wedding arrangements, your wedding dress testing, the meeting at the foundation, and the dinner party," Summer said in a panic, "Miss Tycelyn, please Mr Kreed and his family would be here soon and you aren't ready."My eyes snapped open when Summer said all these, I didn't understand what she was talking about, so I sat up on the bed and looked around me.I wiped my eyes with my hand when I realized I was in my room in my father's house, "What's going on?" Summer stared at me in confusion."Miss Tycelyn I don't understand, yesterday you were happy about the meeting and today you are acting weird," Summer looked at me weirdly.I let out the most te
Tycelyn's POV I pushed Summer away from me when her eyes met my wrist, "I'm sorry," She apologized, she picked up a napkin from the table and began to wipe the blood on my hand. I tried to change the past yet it happened in another way. The scar I was trying to prevent still happened. I looked at Summer in confusion, she was cleaning my hand and didn't ask about the date written on my hand. I pushed Summer away from me again, "What is wrong with you?!" I yelled surprising everyone, this was the first time I yelled at Summer. "No, what's wrong with you?!" Brayon yelled at me, What's his problem? Why was he angry that I was yelling at Summer? "I will go change," I ignored everyone and whatever they were saying and went straight to my room. I entered the bathroom, poured water on my face, and stared at the mirror as I realized it was only me who could see the date written on my wrist and no one else. This wasn't a dream but my reality. I had lived past 2020 and I had died in 202
Tycelyn's POVKreed walked closer to me but I instantly backed away from him, "Did I do something wrong?" Kreed asked innocently. Maybe if it was in the past I would have melted and changed my mind but right now I feel irritated by his voice alone.When did he fall for my sister? Before our marriage or during our marriage?"Did you arrange this Marriage to humiliate us!" Kreed's mom got up from the chair and yelled."I'm sorry," I felt bad as Father lowered his head to apologize, this was the first time I had seen Father lower his head for anyone."Sorry won't fix this," Emily replied before her mother could say anything, "You called for the alignment, your daughter humiliated us and now you are saying just sorry?""I'm sorry, we will fix the problem and get back to you with the marriage date, we will also make the necessary arrangements for the wedding, I really hope this will be enough to cover up the humiliation," I watched as those words came out of Ziora's mouth. Who does she thi
Tycelyn's POV I looked at my watch, checking the time for the 100th time since I got to the cafe. I and Daphne were supposed to meet up here but she hasn't arrived for some reason. I knew it was just five minutes late but these five minutes seem like eternity. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting," Daphne sat on the chair and kept her bag on the other chair. Seeing Daphne made tears well up in my eyes and memories flooded in, "Daph," I got up from my sit, hugged her, and burst into tears "Tycelyn are you okay?" Daphne asked, "What did they do to you?" She pulled away from the hug searching my face. "No, I…I…just miss you," I sobbed louder. "You missed me, that's why you are crying? But we saw some days back," Daphne chuckled and I wiped away the tears from my eyes because I couldn't explain shit. "Don't mind me, I was being dramatic," I forced a smile on my face as I sat next to her. "So why did you call?" Daphne relaxed in her chair. I pulled my chair closer, "It's about yo
Tycelyn's POV"I hate when the rain touches me," Kenzal glanced at his shoulder and the rain was pouring from the edge of the umbrella onto his shoulder."I'm sorry," I apologized and followed his footsteps till we got to the entrance of the door."Thank you," Kenzal nodded his head in acknowledgment of what I had just said, gave the umbrella to the concierge standing right in front of the door, and entered the hotel without sparing me a glance."What did I just witness?" Daphne gushed when I entered the hotel, "And as a journalist, I got pictures of it.""Oh, what do you plan on using the pictures to do?" I sat on the chair meant for my family."I work for the media so I will use it well," Daphne handed me her phone to check the pictures.I took the phone from her hand. The pictures were beautiful, both Kenzal and I walking on the stairs while it was raining and he was holding an umbrella over my head. If I didn't know better, I would have thought we were couples.I handed Daphne her
Tycelyn's POVAmusement sparkled in Kenzal's eyes as he waited for my answer. If I were to make the decision here, does that mean in terms of work? And if I were to make the decision in the room, a man and a woman behind closed doors, everyone knows what that means."Tycelyn what are you doing here?" Ziora raised her eyebrows, "How do you two know each other?" Ziora asked as her well-manicured finger rested on Kenzal's shoulders.Right then I knew I needed to make a decision and without thinking twice I picked up the card from the table and kept it inside my bag."Miss Ziora, I guess we would have to fix another date, right now I have a date with Miss Tycelyn," Kenzal got up from the chair and stretched out his hand for me.I smiled and politely took his help to get up, "Excuse us.""What nonsense is this!" Ziora yelled at the top of her lungs bringing others' attention to us, "I swear to the heavens I will make you pay!" she yelled.I had my mind crossed because I knew what was going
