EDWIN'S POVI was bombsmacked the minute Miranda walked out on me. The nerve of that bitch! She'd just humiliated me, in front of everyone. Does she know the repercussions of what she just did?"Hey you! Why didn't I get to see the dress?" I asked one of the workers who's head was bowed down."I'm sorry sir, I tried to tell her. But s she..." The worker trailed off, not knowing what to say. I guess Miranda was actually a handful for them to control."I'll just pay then," I mumbled as I made to bring my phone out."She actually paid for the dress, you don't need to foot the bills," The worker said, and I furrowed my brows.Miranda? That bitch never fails to amaze me. Now I get why she acted the way she did, it was actually because she paid the bills herself. Though it was still been disrespectful to me. I should have been the one paying, not her.I stood up and I left the boutique, not after exchanging pleasantries with the manager who pleaded with me to visit next time. Hopefully if t
MIRANDA'S POVThe car finally stopped alighted at Edwin's mansion. I came out of the car only to be welcomed with a beautiful scenery, which almost made me forgot about the anger I had in me.Maxwell's place was nothing compared to this, I've never seen a mansion as beautiful as this. The cool breeze, waterfall, the golden paintings. The floor tiles made of golds and diamonds screamed luxury.Edwin was not just any man though, he's the number one too ranking businessman. The tittle actually fit him so well. But Maxwell deserved it.I haven't gotten into the rooms, and I was already highly impressed, what more if I could walk in? I've fled around all countries, but this mansion, I've never seen anything close to it in any architecture designs. The constructions and everything was highly done by a skilled architecture."Once you're done site seeing, you can come in, we got a party to attend," Edwin said beside me, bringing be back from my reverie. I had actually forgotten I was close t
EDWIN'S POVAs Miranda came down from the staircase, I couldn't help but stare at her. Damn! She was so gorgeous and sophisticated, the dress actually looked good on her. It exposed her curves and everything, though it wasn't revealing, but it was perfect.I wasn't a pervert or anything, but I just couldn't stop myself from appreciating God's creation."When you're done fangirling over me, we should get going," Miranda whispered beside me, and I almost flinched. I didn't realize when she actually got this close to me. Literally I was actually fangirling over her.I sighed and I walked out of the living room with her trailing behind me. I checked my wristwatch and he was passed eight o'clock. The party was actually nine dot. We still have just about few minutes to get there.We got into the car and my driver drove off, hitting the highway.[Few minutes later]My driver drove into the huge mansion buzzing around with loud music and people walking up and down. I guess I was a little bit
MIRANDA'S POVWarning: 18+, if you don't feel comfortable reading such highly rated scene. You should please skip this chapter.Thankfully, Edwin knew the passcode to his car. Me immediately got in without waiting for his driver, by then my panties was already dripping wet with my juice, I didn't know what was happening but I felt extremely horny. I was literally dragging my foot just to steady myself.Edwin placed his head on the car breathing heavily, I knew he actually felt the same way I was feeling. The look on his faces says it all.Never in my life have I had this deep urge for sex, it felt as though I've been sex starved for years. Not to talk of how my nipples rose out of my dress."Darn it Edwin! Call your fucking driver!" I yelled, but seem like the mention of the word sex only added to my misery.Edwin quickly took his phone and he dailed his driver's phone, but it was unreachable. He tried it severally but it still didn't connect.I couldn't hold it any longer, I quickly
MIRANDA'S POVNext morning..."Miranda! Miranda! Miranda!" I tossed on my bed trying to prevent the annoying noise from getting to me. Gosh I fell really tired and I needed to rest."Miranda! You dumbass!" Someone yelled hitting a pillow on my head. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me it was Christabel. That bitch!"What?" I asked sleepily as I scratched the bed of my head. I was just too tired to get up."What's the time Miranda? It's last eight! Aren't you going to work?" She asked. My eyes widened and I quickly jumped down from the bed."Darn it! I'm late for work," I yelled as I tried running to the bathroom, but Christabel pulled me back."It's past work hours already, why don't you take a day off," She suggested."A day off? I didn't inform my boss about it beforehand. It'll only implicate me," I said and I made to leave but my phone beeped.I wanted to ignore the message, but Christabel took my phone and she went through my phone."Maxwell just sent a message. He said he want
EDWIN'S POVI actually gave Miranda a day off knowing she must have been very tired from yesterday. Not to talk of how guilty I felt for making out with her.Though the office was a little boring without her here. Gosh don't take this the wrong way.I smiled when I recalled the text message she sent to me. It was shocking and surprising at the same time, I didn't expect her to be thankful.Well that should be aside. I actually went through hell last night. Serene was at my mansion making life miserable for me. If I should recall what she did last night, I felt like skinning her alive.Flashback#I sluggishly walked into my mansion, though the maids tried to assit me, but I told them to step aside, that I'll take care of myself.On getting to my room, all the lights were turned off. I didn't bother to change or turn the lights back on. Instead I just jumped on the bed, only to fall on something bare. Instead of my bed."What the fuck!" I mumbled and I quickly tried to stand up, but a h
EDWIN'S POVIt's afternoon already and I've been working since forever, I had to go through all the files myself since Miranda isn't around to help me out.Not to talk of my secretary who didn't have much access to my office and some certain files, literally everyone has his or her own boundaries.Miranda, my so called personal assistant isn't here doesn't mean I don't have other things to do.The door to my office opened and Grace walked in, I haven't been seeing more of her since Miranda started working here."Good day sir," She said and I hummed, urging her to say whatever she came to say."Umm sir..." She paused, while I stared at her."I noticed Miranda didn't came to work today," She said and I sighed."Yes?" I asked more like a question."Nothing really," She said scratching her neck. Ladies and gossip, can't they do any better?"Don't you think it's wrong for her to skip work? She just started and she's already misbehaving," Grace said and I chuckled. Seriously I didn't expect
MIRANDA'S POVIt was evening already, after my little outing with Christabel, I decided to visit Maxwell, even though I acted bitchy earlier today, I knew he still needed me.Apart from that, I wanted to see him today because as from tomorrow I wouldn't be chanced, since I'm back to being Edwin's personal assistant.I also need to guide Maxwell so he wouldn't do something drastic because of his hatred for Edwin. Maxwell isn't much of a brainy like I am. He doesn't care about the repercussions of everything he's doing. He just do them anyway, then he'd leave his mess for me to clean.Gosh enough with the chitchats. I came out of my room already dressed. No make ups or jewelries, I just decided to be nice and natural today."Are you coming back tonight?" Christabel asked and I sighed, I didn't know the actual thing to say. Maxwell is still angry at me, I just hope he is calm now."You don't have to worry about me, I won't be back tonight," I said and christabel scoffed."I'm not worried
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'
