Miranda's PovHe rushed to me and I almost burst out laughing at his shocked look. He was so scared, I closed my eyes quickly when he was coming closer to me. I couldn't take the pain anymore and I had no option than to fake faint. I got him with that. He should learn never to mess with me."Miranda, are you okay, please open your eyes?" He screamed, touching my face as I limped on the floor, making him so scared."Please don't do this, I am sorry for giving you this kind of punishment, I promise never to try this again. Just wake up please, Open your eyes" He uttered fearfully, My eyes were still closed, I was still pretending like I was dead.He carried me from the floor and ran to his car. I could feel the gaze of his workers fixed on the both of us even when my eyes were closed.Edwin dropped me at the back seat then entered too, placing my head on his Laos. At some point I was enjoying the way he carried me and also placed my head on his Lap making me feel some tingling sensatio
MIRANDA POV'S"I also have my secretary so don't act like a champion when you are not beside I didn't tell you I was looking for an assistant, you chooses that yourself" He reminded me and I sneered glaring at him hatefully, I can't wait to be done with him after Maxwell rank first, his ego is too much."When you are done ranting then leave the hospital, I will call my best friend to pick me up" I ordered and shook his head fuming."You love punishment so much, another one awaits you soon. Take care of yourself and make sure you come early to work after you've served your one week break" He warned sternly and stormed out of the hospital enraged. "Finally I can breath well, I need to see Maxwell, Need to have some good fuck. It's been a while we had a memorable sex" I thought, smiling sheepishly."You had sex with him a few days ago" My subconscious mind reminded me and I pouted."What ever" I muttered and walked out of the ward, I paid the doctor then left for Maxwell's Mansion.****
MIRANDA POV"What's wrong?" I inquired and he sighed pulling his dick out of my pussy and I wondered what was wrong but he was not even willing to say anything, making me annoyed."What's wrong?" I questioned again but got no reply from him. He wore his shirt and shorts then ran out of his mansion hastily, not even staring back or sparing a glance at me.I was enraged by what happened,He just left me hanging not even feeling any remorse about what he did. Worst of all, He just stormed out of his mansion without even trying to explain what he saw on his phone that made him run out like that.I put on my clothes and had to calm myself down. Fortunately I wasn't feeling horny anymore because of how angry I was.This time around, let's see how he earns My forgiveness for playing with me and doing shit without remorse.I took my belongings and left the Mansion back to my abode angrily. He made me accept leaving work for one week just to be with him and then he is behaving this well. He suc
MIRANDA'S POVNEXT MORNING***I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. I groggily reached for it, squinting as I checked the notification. It was a message from Edwin and I wondered what was written there, My one week break is not over do why is he disturbing my my peace. He indicated that I should come to work today and I frowned, wondering what could be so urgent that He had to wake me up at this ungodly hour with a stupid message. I got out of bed and quickly slipped into my robe before making my way to the bathroom, I should have decline coming but there's nothing to do in this house, Christabel is leaving for her modelling job this morning and stupid Maxwell left me, I am not even ready to talk to that bastard right now. Funny enough he hasn't even called me after what he did yesterday making me annoyed.I was done dressing and having my bath then I entered the sitting room, I found Christabel sitting on the couch pressing her phone and as usual watching her
Miranda's POV"How dare you?, You called me jerk and I overlooked it then this?" Edwin yelled and grabbed my hands when I was about storming out of his office furiously."Well, you are acting like one right now, And you called me here to do what for you?, You gave me a one week break then why all these unnecessary disturbance ?" I asked in an angry tone, all I wanted to do was to leave this darn office because I can't keep up with all these shit."That's none of your business, Miranda Get to work" Edwin said in a dismissive tone and I turned my face to him,it seems after destroying his files, he still has the guts to order me around, like some sort of toy, I felt a surge of anger at his tone. "Excuse me? I am not some robot that you can just order around, You gave me a one-week break, and now you're acting like I'm not even allowed to ask a simple question?" I shouted and threw his files on the table for the second time and storming out of his office furiously.I was so angry that I
Miranda PovWe quickly sat up, our hearts racing as we tried to figure out what had just happened because the noise was too much, Then, we heard another bang, followed by the sound of glass shattering making my heart skip a beat and wondering what's wrong."Stay here,I will be right back, let me go check what's wrong" Maxwell urged me and I nodded my head affirmatively as he quickly got out of bed and started to put on his clothes then left to check what really happened."As he left the room, I quickly grabbed my clothes and put them in, Another diruption again that annoys me like a, I covered myself with my hands fearfully hoping nothing bad happened.Few minutes later..."It wasn't even a big deal, the bird successfully ruin our sweet make out" Maxwell groaned entering inside the room and I hiss out loudly."The fuck, so it was just a stray bird that shattered the window making it look like someone sneaked inside" I sighed and we both chukled."Tomorrow everything will be fixed, it'
Edwin's POVAs usual my life is like a tornado that revolves around me only, No one knows what's going on in my life because I choose to keep all to myself and not really like spilling it out to anyone. Some people feel because I am ranking first as my company explained more than others means that My life is the most perfect life but it's never a perfect life.I dressed elegantly as usual and headed down stairs when I came in contact with my cousin and aunt knowing fully well, they are gonna spill out gibberish to me as usual."Good morning, Edwin. How was your night?" My cousin asked with a fake smile plastered on his face and I scoffed before replying him back."It was good. Why do you ask, you should be preparing for work in?" I replied, sensing the sarcasm in his voice."Oh nothing, it's not bad asking my brother, if he is doing good. I am getting ready for work, you are not blind are you?" she said with a smirk on her face and I chuckled rolling my eyes not ready for his ranting
Miranda Pov As Edwin stormed off, I stood there in the sand, feeling shocked and a little bit guilty. I didn't expect him to react that way, but then again, it wasn't the first time I had gotten under his skin with my comments. Still, I couldn't help but feel like I had crossed a line this time but it looks so funny and confusing at the same time.I looked out towards the ocean, trying to calm myself down. He was arrogant, entitled, and he always acted like he was better than everyone else.But then again, maybe there was something deeper going on. Maybe I was not just seeing what he was trying to explain to me but on a second thought, His pride is something he needs to work on because he always feels like he is the most hardworking and other hardworking me are doing nothing then?.As I stood there lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a car engine revving and tires screeching. I turned around to see Edwin's car speeding away down the road, his anger palpable. I turned back to the oc
Edwin's POVBack in the day….Stepping on the throttle, we were already out of the mansion in no time and I was having a hard time digesting all that I heard. Silverstein made a move while my family stupidly accepted. They don't know what they're in for or maybe they know and are just blindly going for what they want rather than what they need.“So..” Aunt Sarah started, swallowing hard as she spoke. “There's another woman..?” she asked.“Hmm!” I nodded.There's nothing to hide anymore as they all are making a move already. Miranda, she could be in danger at any time and the only person to help me out with her safety now is my aunt. She's the last person I would want to keep Miranda away from.“Do they know about it yet..?” She asked again, finding it hard to believe. “Maxwell knows as well as Alex. Aside from them both, no one else from the family..” I explained, pressing further.“The Silverstein.. they must know about her to have come prepared with a marriage proposal. Holy!!” I
Miranda's POVI felt weak, drowned in my own sweat as I ran towards the hospital reception. The nurse there just kept looking at me and not understanding what I was saying at all because I was a mess. There was only one name on my lips, a single name that had me almost disabled from fear.“C.. Christabel..? Christabel!?” I kept saying, repeating the name and bawling my eyes out.“Who is it, Ms..?” The nurse asked but I can't explain, just how can I..? A very healthy person just typed enthusiastically to me, very much happy about modeling for an endorsement, now where's that healthy person? In the hospital..?“C.. Christabel..” I repeated, breathing harder in minutes that I could collapse any moment soon. My limbs feel weak, and my head..? Both mentally, physically and emotionally, I am drained.I swiped to unlock my phone seeing as repeating just a name wouldn't help. I went to my gallery where I swiped through different folders and pictures and finally, I got one that I was looking f
Edwin's POVWe both stepped out and frustratedly, aunt cursed In the air.“Those god-damned family of yours, scumbags..” She hissed irritatingly.I sighed too, exasperatedly as I turned back to the door. Was this how it has always been? Not to acknowledge one as a family yet.. “How are you..? Are you okay?” Aunt Sarah called from behind.“I am, aunt.” I answered curtly, turning towards her direction and smiling which she did too.“I know, I know..” She said, “You did well,”“Right!?” I uttered, releasing a frustrated sigh. “You're not really going to do what that asshole said right? You're not going to be paired with the Silverstein just for their joy right..? You.. you're not going to force them to take you in right..?” I heard my aunt query rather impatient that it made me frown for a bit.I held on her shoulder, making her face me as she squeezed gently on them to make her at ease.“You saw it too..” I stated simply. “They failed aunt, they are even more worthless now that I thin
Edwin's POV“Have the new team work on the project with the SLL group; we can't have anything go wrong.” I ordered as I stepped into the company.“Yes boss..” Came the answer while we moved further in till my phone vibrated with a message popping on the screen. For a while, I stood still like a brick wall, with my phone held tight in my hand and a slight grin plastering my face.Who would have thought the whole of the Silverstein family and mine would lay low without causing trouble..? Of course, not me because I expected much. They weren't doing anything not because they can't, time is all it takes.From where I stood, I turned back to the direction of the underground pack. A smile still lingered on yet it didn't do much to my anger. I felt my hands clenched as I pressed them on the steering wheel but my breathing was controlled. These people, they're never tired of amazing me, bringing me to a knowledge of how far they can go and a terrifying understanding. In no time, I was in the
Miranda's POVMy eyes stung as I turned to leave, it was my fault that I had a wrong determination and false hope but then, I mustn't have taken up to the fifth step when I was held in a bridal style.“Wh..” interrupted with a peck that asked me not to say another word till I felt I was sitting on a soft comfy bed.I was dumbfounded, I couldn't talk but that didn't mean I wasn't still in pain. I looked at the man that squirted before me and felt worse. His eyes bored into mine. I had to look away but it only gave him room to my neck. I felt him nimble on it and became stiff, his mouth was hit against my skin and his wet tongue continuously drew circles.“What are you doing, Miranda..?” I asked myself and came back to my senses. Slightly pushing him to the back and getting up to move but again, he's fast.This time, his lips slammed hard in mine and I felt him intrude my mouth with his tongue. With how rough it was, it was damn passionate. I didn't know when I relaxed and responded to
Miranda's POVI arrived at work early so I could meet with Edwin. I know he comes early too and would just leave once it's almost time for a normal resume and then be back as the boss he is to be acknowledged and so, I wished to see him.The day before, I kept replaying the recorder, thinking about what there is to do and not wanting to make a mistake. The same mistake I did with Maxwell, thinking I can handle it all. There was this tiny part of me that wished I never made that mistake and it was all because I was blinded and couldn't have possibly met up with Edwin. I had my own business to settle and after the whole scene and after I realized Edwin still cares even while he's yet to know I used to be his friend in school, there was this particular part of me that wants to become closer and accept the fact that I like him. I came to the term that I settled my business already. It never was Edwin's fault that he left me. He was an outcast and now, those family members of his all want
Edwin's POVI stepped into the office the next day, and as usual, they all greeted me but I didn't care to answer. They bowed till I'm out of sight, yet, there's this particular one I can't get to submit to me.I found out Miranda was that same girl I used to be closer to, since I found she worked for Maxwell and quit because she suddenly began to care… I became obsessed. I walked past several of my employees till I got to Miranda's desk, she's there, also greeting and bowing like the rest.One moment, I stopped in my tracks and it felt like my whole body became hot and stiff. Shit.. I remembered all that transpired between us, the conversation we had before. I couldn't help it. The energy that was sipping through was that of anger. I wanted to know, to understand and become closer but I guess she likes both of my brother's and would work with them to get to me.How greedy! Being involved with three brothers that were constantly backstabbing themselves. She's going to get the project
Miranda's POV“Mr Alex..?” I called, shocked to the bone that he was there or might have been there but he seemed calm.“Hi, representative. '' He greeted me, smiling awkwardly at me.“What are you.. I mean” I stuttered, finding it hard to ask a question that bugged my entire being.“You mean?” he scrutinize his eyes at me for a while, coming closer than expected till he let out a hearty chuckle that had my biting on my lips in embarrassment.“I came to see my brother that's always locked indoors, instead I came face to face with his personal assistant.. that works just fine for me. It means he isn't just indoors doing nothing..” He ranted.“Oh, that..” I said back, feeling how hot my cheek is, I can tell they're a tomato red already. He chuckled again and this time, tucked my hair to my ears to have a better view at my already colored face, shit..!“Alright, let's go shall we?” he asked and didn't wait for an answer when he pulled me by my hand.All eyes turned in our direction, th
Miranda's POVIt becomes easier when there's no interest in negative thoughts. The SLL group finally signed the contract and became a team with us. Everything was going just as expected but then, the sound of a knock on my desk drew me back to life and almost immediately, I frowned.“Did I disturb our newly found representative..?” I could tell of the sarcasm beneath the voice. I looked up only to find the company's manager, staring back at me.“I am so sorry…” I pleaded, immediately getting on my feet.He looked more like a person that wouldn't want a no for an answer. Almost carrying Edwin's aura but then, there's something spectacular about Edwin's that this young man here doesn't have. Shit..! Why do I think of him?“No need to be. I just wanted to see the new representative of the company that has been able to pull my brother's attention. It turned out to be you,” He continued. I couldn't help but scrutinize my eyes. He's Edwin's brother..? It was confusing but somehow, it wasn'
