Miranda's heart raced to her lungs, and she wondered, "What does Master Derrick want from me?" She clicked the message and read it, and he asked her, "Hi, can you please come back home? My mother misses you, and she really wants to see you again?"Miranda stared at the chat as she wondered how Derrick got her chat name. She blinked her teardrops away, wondering if she could tell him that she was expecting his baby.Miranda shook her head and decided not to tell him."No, I cannot tell Master Derrick that I'm pregnant. I know Mother would be worried, and not like him. As he wouldn't want to see me by himself. What should I do now?" Miranda wondered as she saw Derrick typing again."I know, I asked you to leave, but you can come home now. My mother really wants to see you again? Where are you? I will send my driver to come pick you up?" Derrick texted, and Miranda's brows furrowed as she read his message."Wow! He didn't even apologize to me for sending me away, he didn't apologize for
Derrick felt enraged after seeing that Miranda had blocked him online. He sighed as Alex's word replayed in his mind, "Miranda doesn't want an arrogant man. Why not confess your feelings to her, Uncle?""Hmm, but I'm not in love with Miranda. How do I confess my feelings to a maid of no value?" Derrick scowled as he kept his phone away.Later, when he went downstairs to have his lunch other than phoning the maids to bring his lunch. Lady Loretta was sitting at the dining table, dressed in a long blue gown, and she didn't call Derrick to join her."Mom," Derrick strolled over to the dining table. He thought to contact Alex to help him beg Miranda to return.Lady Loretta didn't reply to Derrick as she continued enjoying her lunch meal alone. She was eating a plate of rice garnished with fried chickens, and the maids had already excused her.Once the maids saw Derrick walked up to the dining table to join his mother, they inquired of him, "Sir, should we serve your dinner now?" Derrick
Two weeks later, Miranda stayed at home, recovering from the shock that she was pregnant with Derrick. She decided to resume going to her shopping mall.As Miranda prepared in her room, it was a brand new week, Monday. Miranda got out of her bed and went to bathe. As she stepped out from her bathroom, she donned a blue gown and black sandals. She went to tend to her appearance in her room mirror.Miranda had learned to stock up her house with food products so she wouldn't have to wander about, looking for where she would purchase her household items.She knew that her neighbors were trying to pry into her life to find out who her husband was, but Miranda didn't give them the opportunity. In the apartment building where Miranda lived, on the top floor, a pregnant woman lived there with her husband. The lady was newly married and didn't hesitate to show off her ring in the presence of Miranda, thinking that Miranda was dating other women's husbands.In the building, they had four tenant
Erica Harrison was still in disbelief that Miranda was the true owner of the mall. Although, she knew so well when they were still in college that Miranda usually came with a lot of provisions compared to the rest of them. And when she had asked Miranda then who she was, Miranda had told her she was an orphan.Erica couldn't believe Miranda, which is why she called Lady Blessing Kingston back to verify if Miranda was the owner like she had said to her."I'm sorry, Milady. But we have closed for today. How about you come back tomorrow at 8am, and we would be ready to attend to your needs," Lady Blessing spoke politely to Erica, but Erica frowned her pretty fair-skinned face, adorned in light makeup."But Miranda, I thought you said you own this mall?" Erica queried, and Miranda smiled."Yes, what would you like to buy? We are still growing, I don't know if we would have what you're in need of," Miranda asked, as she knew that sometimes her mall lacked some of the customers' needs."Oka
A month later, as Miranda's tummy protruded, she had already contacted Agent Paul if there were any new houses for sale. The neighbors' gossip had increased as they saw that Miranda was pregnant and her belly was visible.Agent Paul showed Miranda all the available houses for sale, and Miranda wasted no time in purchasing one. Just four months after launching her mall, Miranda moved out from the gossiping compound to her new house.Miranda was seven months pregnant as time flew by so fast. She prepared to welcome her baby, and Lady Blessing had been kind enough to give her proper guidance. Lady Blessing had two children, a daughter named Emily and a son named Philip.Lady Blessing introduced her daughter to Miranda to help her out at home with cleaning and a few other things. Miranda was grateful, as she hadn't expected Lady Blessing to be kind-hearted.When Miranda had first employed Lady Blessing, she had doubts that she would be able to work with the lady. Now they seemed like fami
Miranda was blushing hard as she went into her mall to get her baby things. Her mall was crowded inside with many patrons selecting what they needed."Morning," Miranda waved to her sales attendant as she went to pick up a shopping cart to fill out all the items that she wanted. After selecting all her baby wears and needs, Miranda ordered Susan to arrange it all and take it out to the taxi waiting for her.Once Miranda was through, she met with Lady Blessing Kingston and told the older lady in charge of managing her mall that she was leaving. The patrons didn't know Miranda was the actual owner. She looked young, and she wasn't bossy like she had planned to present herself.After Miranda bid farewell to Lady Blessing, she exited the mall and got into the taxi waiting. Once seated at the rear, as she fastened her seatbelt, and the taxi car pulled to acceleration, Miranda got a phone call from Larry."Hello," Miranda said, she was yet to store Larry's number as she just rounded up with
The day was bright, a sunny Monday morning. Miranda arrived at her mall in the regular taxi that picked her up from home to work. She was carrying her baby, Oliver, in her arms. As she got out of the taxi, Miranda swiftly entered her mall, not wanting to stare around. There were some patrons purchasing the items they needed, and she made her way to her office, where she would sit and do some foreign importations and cross-check the progress of her mall activities.As Lady Blessing, together with Emma and Susan, saw Miranda enter the mall, they rushed to welcome her, and Miranda smiled at them before entering her office. Her son was only three months old. He was a healthy little Black boy, cute, and Emma couldn't stop gushing at him.Miranda took pride in being her son's nanny. She was happy to have a family of her own, though just a little boy, she didn't care what anyone had to say. It was her life, and she was proud that she made the right choice to move on and not look for who to d
"I'm sorry, sir. But that's my Madam's instructions. She doesn't like to be disturbed at work, and she says she finds it creepy that you're beginning to monitor her. Please, leave as I wouldn't like to lose my job here," Lady Blessing said as she went back to monitor the customers doing their shopping."Oh, but I do want to see her! Why is your Madam avoiding me this much? Just tell her I'm not going to leave today unless I see her," Larry said, and Lady Blessing looked tense as she had never been put in such a difficult situation.Staring at the man in a black tuxedo, Lady Blessing told him, "I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot go to inform my Madam about your request again. Today is her first day in the office after months of staying at home, so she would need some time to focus on her work before attending to the guests."Knowing that he couldn't pressure Lady Blessing into calling Miranda out for him, Larry went outside to wait for Miranda to close, as his assistant came frequently to che
