[ Rain ]Loud gasps leave everyone's mouth as Nicholas stumbles on his feet and before he can balance himself, another punch lands on his other cheek and then third. His nose started bleeding but when my brother, yes my furious brother was about to launch another blow on his guts, Nicholas grabs his hand and tackles him down with ease. It comes more like a shock for everyone as Rainard is trained for special military programs and his fighting skills must be way better than a comman man."How dare you?" Nicholas grabs his collar and raise his hand to punch Rainard but my brother quickly tackle him down and kicks him in the guts."How dare you to mistreat my sister who is now your wife? Do not pretend to be a lovely caring husband because you're nothing but a monster, you son of a bitch!" Rainard shoutes on him. His blood shot eyes are the proofs of his anger's extent."You are on no place to judge my actions when your other whore of a sister eloped with her lover on the day of our wedd

[ Nicholas ]I glance at my wrist watch impatiently. Rain has been taking too much of my precious time to come out of her room and it's growing my anger with passing seconds. I should have made an excellent excuse to Mr. Xi Giang and leave her here to take as much as time she needs to doll herself up but I can't take a chance with them. The deal is important for me after the personal turbulence in my life, it may effect my business."Elle, where is Rain? Tell her to come out in next two minutes or she'll be escorting herself to the venue all by herself." I yell on Elle who just walked out of her room's direction.She's startled by my sudden outburst but nods her head, turning back on her heel to deliver my order but stops as we hear soft clicking of heels coming closer.My anger is reaching on an exploding point but air knocks out of my lungs when I see her walking in the living room. Her appearance renders me speechless. My eyes glue themselves on her beauty.Yes, she's looking stunn

[ Rain ]Our lives fall on the same track after the dinner with Giang family. Nicholas leaves for office around eight. It's not I still sleep when he gets ready and have his breakfast, I intentionally don't walk out of my room in a fear if he sees me and again insults me for doing nothing.It has been three days and today is another Sunday. Nicholas takes an off on Sundays but I don't know if he would stay at home.I look at the clock it shows nine in the morning. A maid served my morning coffee in my room but now I'm feeling a little hungry. Walking out of my room carefully scanning the opposite wing of the house, I padded my way downstairs to the kitchen.A familiar laughter reaches into my ear and it takes me no time to recognize the beautiful voice, it's Breece. I love this girl already and hope to spend some time with her but Nicole's ultimate despise makes it next to impossible thing.Not willing to intrude their family time, I turn to leave but I think it was too late."Cindrel

[ Rain ]I take a few deep breath as I prepare myself for the dinner night with our families on the same table. I wish it would pass quickly as pretending to be something which I am not nor the equation I share with my husband.I wish it would be over soon for better or for worse."Relax dear, you're over thinking. Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood already like you and the siblings will understand it soon." Elle places her hand on my shoulder."I can't, Elle. I can't forget the last encounter between my brother and Nicholas. They were ready to kill each other. Rainard has a short temperament when it comes to me. Unfortunately, Nicholas shares the same attitude." I sigh in exasperation."Nicholas is a nice man, Rain. He's heartbroken but I am sure that you'll mend it and invade it forever." She smiles and the confidence she has in my abilities, surprises me."I think we should head downstairs now. They'll be here anythime." I say giving myself a last glance in the mirror to ensure I look like a r

[ Nicholas ]The dinner plan went into the trash bin for two reasons; firstly the over annoying presence of Rain's mother and secondly my wife's over meekness. She never retaliates when people tries to crush her either by words or by actions. She takes everything quitely and it frustrates me.I hate weak people but my own life partner is one of the weakest straws. The one quality I admired in her sister was her independent and rebellious soul. She never let anyone walk over her, the way she used to carry herself, she was an inspiration if I exclude her black heart.On the other hand, Rain is quite the naive girl who still needs to learn many things. She must stand on her own feet but she always looks up to men in her life. I hate to admit but she also includes me in the list. I know I have some responsibilities towards her as her legal husband but I can't be her amputee hand. She needs to learn how to thrive among the odds of life.Speaking of Rain, I've observed a few unique things a
