"Stay away from Miranda, I won't say this again." I heard him say. His words spiked me up, and I felt like snarling at him. I could feel the rage in me flaring up, and I could just seize his throat at the slightest.But I decided not to. I was going to control myself and not to anything drastic. I didn't want a situation whereby Miranda gets mad at me, or creates more distance between us. That was the least I ever wanted."You wouldn't be the one to tell me what and what not to do." I replied in a stern tune. "Going after Miranda should not be your business, and don't think that you can do a thing to stop me, because I'll still go after Miranda." I added in agitation.He moved closer to me. "No matter how much you try to get back Miranda, I'll always pull her away from you, I'll instigate her the more, she'll harbor more hatred for you." He whispered so coldly to my ears.I felt my adrenaline spiking up, and I had the urge to punch him across the face."You'll beg for her love, but w
Miranda's POVI crouched down on the couch. My mind drifting back to the scenario that occurred some hours ago.It was all a ploy. This was all part of my plan as I had told Jason to help me out.Recap of a day ago."I'm scared that he might still run after me. He wouldn't adhere to the agreement we had, as he cared less about anything when it had to do with me." I said to Jason worriedly."So what do you intend to do then?" Jason asked."I need to come up with a plan that will make him stay away from me, especially now that he knows that I am in the shadow pack, I wouldn't want him to get to see Damien." I said."Yes. You're right, this can be really risky." Jason added.I thought for a while. I needed to think faster on what to do that will make Darren stay away from me. I had to do this for my son. I can't risk loosing him to Darren. As long as I was concerned, Darren had no right over him
Darren's POVI and mother were about stepping out of the house when Vivian ran in front of us."What's this." I asked in a furrowed brow."You can't go anywhere Darren." Vivian said, whole I creased my brow."What has come over you Vivian? Why would you come to stand in the way of me and mother, do you have no manners?" I asked."I've lost all manners in order to save my family and marriage." She replied. She sounded so ridiculous as I glared at her."What has come over you Vivian? why have you decided to trouble our path?" Melanie asked from the height she was. She was in a wheel chair, and so she was looking up to us.Vivian bent forward. "Mother are you now taking the side of that woman? Have she also hypnotize you the same way she did with Darren?"Vivian asked in a broken tune.Although I cared less of how she felt. She deserved everything that was happening to her. She caused herself all the pains she might think that she was going through.It was no one's fault if she wasn't rea
" No mother, you shouldn't listen to whatever she was saying. Vivian is fun of imagining the most weirdest stuff ever. Looking at it, it's very impossible for me to strike a deal with Miranda. I mean-""That's okay dear, I believe you okay? I just wanted to be sure that Vivian wasn't saying the truth, and now I'm certain, that this was all a lie." Mother said as I released a smile which immediately turned into a sedate expression.I just can't believe that I had lied to mother in the most unbelievable way. But I had no other option than to do this. I couldn't tell her that I stroke a deal with Miranda, this will make me loose the chances of me ever seeing mother and Miranda reconcile.This was the only opportunity I had for me to make mother see the truth and rewrite her wrongs, and so I couldn't just let it go like this. "May we go now? I need to have a talk with my daughter in-law." She said.Her words made me turn back to her in surprise. I only released a smile and begun the ig
"I thought you had told me that you were never involved in a deal, and so what deal is she talking about?" Mom asked.I could see the excitement in the eyes of Miranda. I was sure that this was what she wanted. She wanted mother to know that we had a deal, she just loved it when she creates confusion."M...mother please I can explain, you shouldn't get hyper about this." I said, hoping mother understands."Tell me Darren, why did you have to lie to me? Why do you have to make me have the wrong idea about this? Why didn't you just tell me the truth that you had made a deal with her?" Mother asked."Mother please don't get me wrong, but my intentions were only to create peace between the both of you, I wanted Miranda and you to share a more better relationship than the relationship you two share now." I said."That still doesn't count, you should have told me all about this, and then I would have decided what it was that I wanted doing, what you did was wrong Darren." Mother reprimanded
Darren's POV"After all you did to me in the past, you think you can just come and ask for my forgiveness so easily and I'll just accept it, and pretend as though nothing ever happened?" She asked in a cruel manner."I am not as naive and stupid as the old Miranda. I am not as soft as you two think I was In the past, and so don't think I'll be moved by ordinary tears, because I feel no sympathy for you okay? I did what I did to get your son off my back, and if he wouldn't listen then, I'll take extra measures." She said and walked out.Mother took her gaze to me. "I'm sorry mother, I'm sorry for having to let you face such embarrassment. I shouldn't have let you come here in the first place, this is all my mistake." I said remorseful. "No, you shouldn't feel this way dear, do not feel as though you're at fault for anything. If there's anyone at fault, then it should be me, I had separated the both of you, and made you loose your mate, and so I am to be blamed for this." Mother said.
Darren's POV "Thank you so much mother for this, I really appreciate you for this. I never had thought that you would ever stand for me mom." I said to mother feeling elated. Mother had always opposed Miranda, and never for once did she ever showed the interest for the relationship I and Miranda shared.But then, it was more of a surprise to me, seeing mother supporting the woman I love, and having to give me the go ahead to make her mine.I never even thought that she would have to beg on my behalf. Mother really surprised me, and I felt so excited with this. More than ever I had the willingness and determination to go further, I was going to get Miranda no matter the condition or circumstance. I would make sure that she chooses me over Jason. I would take away Miranda away from him, just like he had done with me.I begun the ignition, and headed home. "I'll come back for you Miranda." I said in a mutter.***"Papa, Papa." I heard the voice of a kid, it was sounding so clear and r
Miranda's POV"You shouldn't have behaved that way with them?" Jason said as I furrowed a brow."What are insinuating Jason? That I was wrong?" I asked."I'm not saying you're wrong, but then you took this too serious, I mean you should have reconsider your actions, the way you approach some certain kind of things." Jason said."Well I dont care, and i don't think I'll ever get to give a damn about this okay? So I think you should keep the opinions to yourself because i don't need it." I said to Jason.I didn't give a damn if he felt insulted by my words, but I cared no less. I just couldn't turn a blind eye on what the Thanes had done to me. I am not a coward to easily forgive them.I took my gaze back to him. "Do you know the pains that family had caused me? Do you know what they had done to me in the past? They barely even spared me, even if I was to risk my life. They treated me like thrash and hurt me several times
