Miranda Quentin stood face higher in front of Maya.Seeing her appearance, Maya instantly jumped to a conclusion and thought that she had come out in search of solace.She lifted one of her hands and placed it on the other while fiddling with her fingers. She scrutinized Miranda from head to toe then She smirked.“I see you had a good time in jail.” She teased and sauntered around her.“Have you come out in search of another matron after wasting away behind the bars?” She asked and stopped in her tracks.“How shameless and extreme can you be? I thought you might have mended your ways after being behind bars for a while, I guess I was wrong, you are still so shameless and dirty like always” Maya cursed at her with a smirk.“It's not my fault that we ended up as sisters. If I'm a dirty whore. Then, you are a hawking whore” Miranda folded her arms around her chest, lower her waist, and whispered into Maya's ears.Hearing her words, Maya was infuriated beyond words. She clenched her fists a
Maya drove to the mansion at full speed. She was so mad that she didn't have the chance to run Miranda's image once more at the coffee shop. As soon as the car stopped at the parking lot, she didn't bother coming out immediately. She stayed back in the car and contemplated. With anger surging through her chest, she slammed her fists on the steering wheel and screamed. “Arggghhh!! That damned witch! I won't let you off so easily” She screamed at nothing. Her expression was crushed into anger and she couldn't help but mold her hands into fists. She didn't know why she was so affected by the sudden appearance of Miranda out of nowhere, after three years. “Come to think of it, how did she get out of jail? I asked that she would rot in jail” Maya thought and she suddenly had a glimmer of an idea. “Find out who got Miranda Quentin released when I asked that she should remain locked up ” She send out a call cross to someone and gave the instructions as soon as the call was connec
The Next morning... Ivy Haddock walked down the stairs with her eyes glued to her phone as she kept sending and receiving several messages from her clients. She looked up occasionally to avoid tripping and falling off the stairs.When she finally came to the living room, she was stunned to see Miranda Quentin all dressed up and ready to go. “You're so serious about this ambitious of yours, I see!” Ivy Haddock commented and took a seat close to hers.As soon as she was seated the maids came around with a menu in her hands. “Miss Haddock, Please make a choice,” Marissa said and handed over the menu to her. Ivy quickly took it without batting an eye. Instead, her gazes were still focused on the phone. However, she took her eyes off for a second to make her choice. “A cup of ginger tea and a few steamed buns will do,” She said and return the menu. Upon taking it back, Marissa went back to have the breakfast prepared. “So, should I drop you off at the Rave county or will you be fine
Samuel Tate rushed back into the office hurriedly.“ President Grant, the meeting has been set up and the members of the board of directors are already in the conference room, except Miss Maya,” Samuel Tate said worriedly and look at Lucas Grant for a solution.Lucas Grant was gritting his teeth invisibly and felt like killing Maya for taking so long to get here.He had warned them to only use ten minutes but it has already been fifteen minutes and she was still not here at the office.The partner from South Korea will be arriving at the Grant Empire in a few minutes, and if she finds offense with Maya's lateness. Then, they will be doomed since they needed this deal badly.After a while, Lucas Grant straightened his expression as well as the wrinkled edge of his clothes. Then, he stepped out of the cabinet and stops tall in front of Samuel Tate.He has long and straight legs. His eyes were like the deep ocean of fate and his face was like a sculpture of the king from the city of ancie
“Let go of me,” Maya said and immediately flung away Lucas Grant's hands away from her.“That woman needs to be taught some manners” She was about to leave the conference room in anger when Lucas Grant held onto her tightly and she was forced to stop. By this time, all the other members of the board of directors dispersed from the scene in a quick flash. Just as Lucas Grant raised his brows. As soon as they left, Lucas Grant looked at Maya Quentin and asked in an annoyed tone. “What's going on? Why did you do that?” Did he ask? Maya, who had totally lost control all this time suddenly remembered that she wasn't supposed to do what she did in front of everyone. So, she changed the tone of her voice and the expression on her face before replying. ”Lucas, I did what I did because I didn't like how she made you look like a fool in front of everyone in the conference room earlier. You have never begged in front of other people bitterly like she made you do, I was shattered when I sa
Maya was still angry when she came out of the office. However, she quickly adjusted her expression and stepped out of the company. She walked straight to the parking lot and got into her car. As soon as she was seated, she felt a surge of anger in her chest. She wanted to yell loudly. However, the incoming phone call stopped her just right in time. “Miss Maya, I have found out all the information about Miranda Quentin that you wanted,” Davis Cooper said from the other side of the line, immediately the call was connected. Hearing this, Maya's facial expression got better and she urged. “Go on and tell me what you found out about her,” She said. Davis Cooper cleared his throat once again, and said, “Miranda Quentin was indeed locked up in the cell for a few months as you ordered. However, she was released after a while since there was no evidence to convict her and you didn't show up at the station to give the orders.” He said with a calm tone. “What? I can't believe my flaws.
When Miranda Quentin arrived at the Rave county for the audition for the role of the supporting character of the Ancient Demon, she was surprised at the sight of the many people linking around the place for a chance.She had thought that the auditions might have been over before she got there. However, she was pleasantly surprised.She slowly got out of the car and walked over to the driver's side of the car. She bent over as if she was paying for the ride. However, the reality was far from fetch. She gawked angrily at Curtis Smith and left whispering words of warning to him.“Don't you dare lurk around here, waiting for me? Go back home right now, I don't want to see you around here when I come back” She muttered, glaring at him with dagger shots.While she spoke, Curtis Smith simply shut his mouth and didn't dare to say a word to her.“Did you hear what I said or do you want me to spell it out for you?” Miranda Quentin asked sarcastically.“Boss, you don't have to do that. I won't
Miranda Quentin was so worked up about the situation at the Rave county studio. On top of that, hearing Amelia Valery's story, she was forced to travel back to her own pain in the past. She was so emotional. Walking out of the studios, Miranda was lost in a daze that she didn't see someone familiar coming in her direction. However, the collision with the person shot her back to reality. Maya was busy on a phone and she ended up bumping into Miranda Quentin, who was walking on the sidelines. “Are you blind or don't you know how to walk around?” Maya Quentin asked with an annoying tone. Her gaze was still fixed on the phone that will to the ground. She squat down and picked up the phone. “If I have a broken phone you will take responsibility for........” Maya left the rest of her words hanging in her mouth when she turned around and realized who the person she had bumped into was. The expressions on her face became ugly and her hands fisted herself involuntarily. She looked ar
"Shit!" Miranda hissed and immediately got up from the bed when she felt a familiar feeling after she woke up. She rushed to their bathroom sink andpuked. She was puking but there was nothing that was coming out of her mouth. She even used her finger to let it out but there was none. She washed her face and gripped the edge of the sink. Then she looked at her face in the mirror panting. She had been like this for almost a weekalready. And she was familiar with this scene already. Because she had experienced this in the past. She went back to their bedroom andchecked the pregnancy test kit in the pouch. She just bought that yesterday when she went shopping with Brian. “Found ya!" She already found the pregnancy kit. When she returned to the bathroom and did what she must. She laid the kit on the sink then she walked back and forth to kill time. Her hands were sweaty and she could feel her heartbeat race. And after three minutes had passed, Miranda stopped walking and picked u
Time ticked forward slower than it usuallyseemed. At this moment, Isaiah felt like one of hisfeet was buried in the grave. He knew how complex their situation was, so he had the faintest idea about how Miranda would react. His face turned pale as nervousness crept into his bones. Anxious, he clenched both of his hands into fists. Just when anxiety was about to get thebetter of him, warm and soft lips brushed against his lips, calming his body in a heartbeat. In a seemingly endless night, their lipsentwined.“Don't be sorry, I'm glad that it was you because I couldn't be more thankful that it's not somebody else," Miranda reassured as she held Isaiah's face. The overpowering flames had finally subsided, the ashes had turned into soil, the flowers had suddenly bloomed, and the tunnel finally ended. Enchanting as it might sound, everythingjust fell into its rightful place. Isaiah wrapped Miranda in his arms, unwilling to let go. With hungry desires, he kissed her deeply, someh
Their curious eyes followed the older manas he entered this heated stage of familydrama. The man looked at Maya withextreme displeasure and lambasted hermercilessly. "To think that young lady like you could besuch a vixen. How dare you spout lies andsmear someone's innocence with yourslanderous accusations! Stop making rumors out of nothing! I examined Ms. Miranda and Brian myself, and they matched by a ninety-nine point nine percent! Brian was her flesh and blood. If anyone has any doubts, they can come to me" The older man was Richard Newton. He was the previous directorate in the Imperial Military Hospital, and his words alone were enough to discard Maya's claims down the drain. As soon as they saw him, Richard instantly dispelled everyone's doubts. What more could his words have done? It's slapped those who bear evil in their minds hard. The whispers of these vultures preying onthe Kenton family's situation buzzed through Maya's deafening silence. "So it's true!” "De
Time flew by with days painted withdifferent colors. Some days were grim butbrighter on other occasions, and today might be just one of those days. And today was a special day. It wasIsaiah's birthday. People gathered around the garden of theKenton family villa. The guests' faces gleamed with smiles as they sang along to the melodious happy birthday song. A towering ten-layered birthday cake sat on a cart, slowly getting pushed by Jake toward the celebrant. Series of applause clasp to the song's melody as they greet Isaiah and his family auspiciously. Miranda, Brian, and Isaiah were standingbeside each other, dressed in similar colors. The joy reflected in their eyes rubbed on their guests as they watched with them, the strips of their memories on the ED screen. Seeing their harmonious display of familial love, the guests found them pleasing to the eye. Most of those photos put on display weresecretly taken by Jake. Miranda glanced at Isaiah and his brother in surprise and
A week later, The Entertainment City held an official press conference where they released an official video of the evidencethey'd gathered. Isaiah found the video inthe surveillance camera at the company'sfront door and intercepted the video of Lucas and Miranda's conversation, but the sound was not recorded. Fortunately, Miranda had the audiorecording with her. Because the video was taken at night, thethe image was very dark, and only two peoplecould be seen in the distance: a woman and a slightly taller man. Miranda's voice was Heard, so who was the other person? Just say whatever you are going to say,"Miranda's voice said. The man then stammered before asking,"Miranda, could we... Could we start over?"When everyone was at a loss for words, the man continued to speak, "Miranda, I am well aware that I am far from perfect and that I have made a plethora of decisions that I am not proud of. However, I regretted it all. Although it took me a long time to realize my mistake
Meanwhile at Kenton's Group. As soon as Martin heard that Miranda was coming. he hurriedly went to the lobby to greet and fetch her in person. Seeing him, Miranda followed behind and took the direct elevator to the top floor. After accompanying her to Isaiah's officeMartin left immediately. Miranda, who had maintained a seriousexpression upon arriving at the company.immediately changed her temperament after closing Isaiah's office door. She dashed toward him as she happily said "I'm here, honey” “0f course, you are!” Isaiah said andautomatically raised his head from the pile of documents to review on his tableAs soon as his eyes fell on her, his expression froze. His eyes darkened and he pursed his lips. It was the same school uniform. With her short skirt, hair tied in ponytails,bare face, and rosy lips, she looked nothing like an artist who had been working in the entertainment industry for so long. Instead, she looked like a carefree and innocent college student. Mira
After a heartfelt conversation, Emily andMiranda went home together. As soon as Brian saw the latter, heimmediately dashed toward her. of course, Miranda welcomed the little kid with a big tight hug. However, her face was full of faint traces of distress. Emily's story kept replaying in her mind, so she couldn't help but wonder how hard it must've been for Brian to lose up and open his heart again after being betrayed by the person he trusted so much. Having known everything that hadhappened, Miranda found Brian's trust and dependence on her in a different light. She was suddenly enlightened about how much weight they possessed. Isaiah approached not long after, so Emilylooked at him in all seriousness. Then, she said, "Isaiah, come with me first. I have something to tell you” Isaiah glanced at Miranda first before going after his mother. After ensuring that they were far enoughfrom the two, Emily faced her son and said, “I told Miranda that someone pretended to be Brian's
“Don't mind that guy, sweetheart. You're only lowering yourself to that trash's level if you do," Miranda reminded. Her eyes carried an ominous stillness behind. 'Is it possible? Miranda scornfully repeated in her mind. Where did he even get the courage to askthis question?' she scoffed internally. The following day, Miranda unexpectedlyreceived a call from Brian's grandmotherEmily. She asked to meet with her at a cafe over the phone, saying she had something important to tell her. Although a little confused, Miranda agreed, and the two met up at the designated location. When Miranda got to the cafe, she instantly felt something heavy might fall. Emily sat before Miranda in rooted silence, carrying a truckload of emotions on her shoulders. “Thanks for seeing me today, Miranda," Emily said breaking the ice. “It's my pleasure." Miranda smiled which Emily returned. “ I came to see you today for two reasons. I wanted to thank you for everything you did for Brian and Isaiah. And,
Hearing Floral and Victor's anger forMiranda, Maya smirked. Then she dramatically cried again "Dad, Mom, I did not really suffer because of her. This is a good thing. Because l can finally concentrate on helping you run the company. I know that there are a lot of things to do in the company right now” she uttered. "Maya, it's fine. If you really thought of this well, then we will support you. Everything will pass, too. Just remember that mom and dad will always be by your side," Floral softly said. The couple spent more time comfortingtheir supposed daughter inside Victor'sstudy room. Soon, Maya decided to leave the room.Only Victor and Maya were left inside.Victor was furious about what had happenedto Maya. He grimaced after reading anewspaper headline. It was about Maya and Kate again.Their pictures together just reminded him of the truth. ....... Maya decided to conduct her pressConference at Newton Hotel.
