~Mirabelle~"Mira!""Mom, just let it go! I told you, I don't wanna talk about it!" I said, walking down the stairs."You're forbidden from seeing that guy or even talking to him!""Mom, you can't stop me. I am nothing like you because unlike you, I don't hold back from the people I love and care about. Unlike you, I'm not a weakling, I fight when I love someone and you can't stop me from being with Mariano, no one can.""Goodness, Mira, how many times will I have to say this to you... loving him is dangerous! Listen, you have no idea what you're in for when you get yourself acquainted with that guy.""Well I'm prepared. I'm prepared for anything. Let them come. I'm ready.""Jesus, Mirabelle...." She ran her fingers through her hair. "Mira, you---""What's going on here?" I lifted my gaze and saw dad. Quickly, I dashed to his side and stood behind him. "Dad, mom's trying to stop me from going to my own apartment again.""Trying to stop you from going to your apartment, Mira, I'm only

Genevieve~"Hey,"I lifted my gaze to meet that of Ryder's. "Hey, Ryder, what are you doing here? Planning on getting into a fight again? Well, just know this time around, I'll be overexcited to let you die.""You've been avoiding me, Gen, at every turn.""Well, isn't it obvious? I don't want to see you face. Ever again. Just leave me alone. What more do you want? What more do any of you want?! Mira has already taken everything away from me. Everything. Including him."He helped himself onto the chair close to me. "Him?""Yes, him. Mariano! The man I loved! Or thought I...loved. Look, I don't know anymore. He's always been there for me and to think that I no longer have any right to him is just so upsetting. Well, I still do have some rights towards him but it's just so fucked up. I'm tired, Ryder, I really am. I'm tired of everything."He collected the glass of liquor grip. "It's okay. I'm right here if you still need someone. I'll never leave you alone, Gen."I stared at him. "How c

~Mirabelle~After the arrival of the celebrant, cutting of cake, toasting of wine and all that Jokes and comedies, I watched in tears and excitement and Kaitlyn broke the news to Wesley by using all forms of symbols to divulge her arcane. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and Wesley surrounded by the most important people in the his life; his wife, children, parents, friends and relatives. His family. I couldn't be more happy for him. It was time for the ballet dance and I watched as Wesley led his wife on stage. Dad did the same thing with mom too. Others followed. I was surprised when I saw Ryder."What are you doing here?""Gen mentioned the party to me last night and she said I could show up.""Oh. That's so sweet of her." Although I wasn't in the mood for a discussion, I wanted to rile him up a bit. "And by the way, seems you two are pretty close now. It's funny how life plays with you, isn't it?""Mira..""Anyways, enjoy. I'm happy for you by the way.""Mira, It's

~Mirabelle~Few days later"Dad, are you done?" I asked him and when I looked into his plate, he had indeed finished his food."I told you I would get this all over with."I smiled, taking the plates from him. "Yeah, but you're kinda full of surprises sometimes.""How couldn't I? When I have my mother here all the time?" He said with a sly smile.I smiled. "Very funny. Need anything else? You know you can tell me if you do.""No, thanks. I'm good.""Alright, I'll go drop these off at the kitchen then."Few days later after that incident at the hospital, we had dad moved here to a private hospital where he has some of the best doctors attending to him and now all I could say, was wow. He had gotten a lot better and he was even due for discharging but mom wanted him to stay here while she go get everything ready at house. And secondly, she didn't want his wound opening up. The moment I stepped out of the room, I saw Phil who smiled at me before going into the room, shutting the door be

~Mirabelle~I rubbed my hands together as I watched him heat up the fire in the living room. "God, this place is... really cold." I said, wrapping my arms around myself. Despite the heavy jacket I was wearing, I was still freezing up. It was probably because I had spent too much time close to the sea."It's a waterfront mansion, what else were you expecting? It's normally hot in the day. And very cold at night.""And it's pretty lonely too. You live here alone?"Silence. "I normally come here when I feel pretty lonely and out of the world sometimes. And by the way, how on Earth do you keep finding me all the time? Did you install a tracker in my phone?"I shook my head. "What? No! No, I didn't.""Then how did you find me?""Had a little help." I said without meeting his gaze.He examined me suspiciously. "Oh, I almost forgot. Your dad produces tracking devices too. You probably got some help from one of his lapdogs, didn't you?""They're not his lapdogs. Neither are they mine. They're

Mirabelle~I swam out of the water only to come face to face with Mariano. "Hey!" I blinked water out of my eyes. "Are you following me?""And why would I be following you in my own house?" He said smugly. "Hm. Stalker. Are you perhaps following me to see how much your words affected me? Would you like to look into my panties?""I'd be delighted to. But there's no need. Clearly, you're already too wet as it is. The only thing I'd be needing from now is that sound. That sexy sound you normally do make whenever I touch you.""What sexy sound? I do not know what you're talking about.""Well, how about we find out now?" He reached for me but I swam further away. "Don't. You. Touch. me." I glared at him.He looked at me smugly. "Why are you running away now? You weren't running away yesterday.""That was before I knew you were an asshole.""Stop calling me that. And by the way, you didn't compliment my cooking skills on the noodles I made.""It was horrible. I tolerated it to make you fe

~Mirabelle~When I woke up, he was there. He was seated, watching me."What? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked him, sitting up."You looked so beautiful in your sleep, I didn't wanna wake you.""Ugh." I groaned, still trying to register the fact that we just had mind numbing sex two times in a row."Yeah and uh, someone's doing a cleanup in the house now and in your room...."My eyes grew big. "Oh my God! I think I forgot something in my room," I said, getting up. "I have to----"He pulled me back. "Relax, Belle. She's gotten rid of the sheets already.""Oh my God, look I'm sorry! I'm sorry, okay?! I didn't mean for it to happen...""Mean for what to happen? Belle, you can't be serious right now. I'm proud of you. Not because of anything else but just because you insisted on standing out. And for that, you may have just won yourself a fan. Not just a protector only. I'm proud of you, baby." He said and kissed my temple. "And about the food is

~Genevieve~"Doc, how is she now? How is my daughter?" Dad asked the doctor as soon as he stepped out of ICU. "It's a good thing we were able to stop the bleeding on time. She's fine now. Although there's something I'll need to ask her parents.""We are." Mom and dad said almost in unison."Oh," the doctor cleared his throat. "Which one of you suffered from dysthymia?""What?"There was a brief of moment of total silence."I did." Dad spoke up."For how long?""Seven years."I gasped. "Oh my God.""Was it how long it took you to overcome it?""Yeah. After my mom died, there was really no close person to help me apart from a woman who later betrayed my family, Bella Daniels. She was my therapist for years.""And I suggest you get a much better one for your daughter. I'll recommend some antidepressants for her but she'll also need a very good therapist. One who is wholely capable of connecting with her psychologically.""I don't understand, doc, what does all these mean? Mira's only hu

*One year later*~Genevieve~"Hey. You ready?"Mason asked me as he walked into the room."Do I look okay in this dress?" I said, referring to the floral gown I was wearing. "I feel... really heavy, you know. I think this baby is using my energy to do kicks, don't you think?" I asked him, placing my hand over my eight months and two weeks old belly.Mason smiled and walked over to me. "You look beautiful, darling. And besides, I'm always here to lend you my strength whenever you feel too tired to carry our little Gael." He knelt before my bump and caressed it over the skimpy dress I was wearing. "Hey buddy, don't give mommy a hard time, okay? We know you wanna come out so badly but patience, little buddy, patience." He looked up at me and I smiled. Then he got up and closed his mouth over mine. "I love you, Genevieve Kenton King."I smiled as I wrapped my arms around him. "I love you too.""Now come on. Before we arrive late for your dad's birthday dinner." He held my hand as walked o

~Genevieve~Just like that. I couldn't believe it. She was gone.Gone forever. We weren't going to see her ever again.Some of the soldiers that had ran into the smoke, came out few minutes later with Gonzalez men. One was half-dead, the other was injured but very much alive. They put them both in the van and walked around to see dad. He was saying something in low tune to dad when another set of military men walked out of the already burnt and collapsed building with a burnt, unrecognizable body that seemed to have ropes attached to it. A body that was perhaps tied. Then I recalled Mirabelle being tied up before Ryder threw me out."No! My Mira...." Mom was already shaking in tears as they placed the body on a stretcher. Dad dropped to the ground in tears, mom was wailing profusely, Mariano remained stiff and unable to move, Mason had tears rolling down his eyes...none of us could even touch the body. It was Natasha who mustered up the courage to run to where the body was and embrace

~Mirabelle~"What are we going to do? He's going to kill her!" Mason exclaimed out of frustration as he plopped down on the couch, running his fingers through his hair. Mom has been trying to calm him down ever since. But it seems all her words of assurance were falling on deaf ears."My men are searching the entire city as we speak." Dad who had been on the phone came back few minutes later to the living room and said. "They couldn't have gone far. We'll get them in no time.""Hey," Mariano knelt in front of me and places his hand on lap. "Are you alright?"I shook my head."Belle, listen to me, this is not your fault.."I was trying to hold back my tears. "Yes, it is.""No, it's not. Gonzalez has been planning his escape from prison for a long time now. And it so happened to fall on the same time period of your return so none of this is your fault, okay?""Grandpa, are you going to give me to him? The bad guy?" Natasha who was in mom's arms asked Kurt who had been restless."Of cour

~Mirabelle~"Mama, where are we? What is this place?" Natasha asked me as Mariano pulled the car to a stop. I got out and so did Natasha, who looked inquisitive, looking around the place."Hello, Natasha."She turned to stare at the people standing few metres away, her whole face lightening up. "Grandma! Grandpa!"In a blink of eye, she was running into dad's open arms. "My lil baby. She looks just you, Mariano." Dad said to Mariano who was standing beside me as he ruffled her hair playfully, picking her up from the floor."I'm quite heavy, you know. Mama feeds me with good stuff." Natasha said jokingly."Well then, it's a good thing I have quite the strength then." Dad smiled as we walked into the house."Camilla," I greeted Camilla who was standing with the other servants. "I see you're still here." I said, moving into her arms. "Thank you.""Always, Mirabelle, always." She responded and we pulled away. "I'll make coffee and some toast."I nodded and she walked away. "It feels good

~Genevieve~He wasn't in bed with me when I woke up.I got up, stretched and slipped on his shirt. Then I got up and went on a mission to go look for him.I heard noise coming from kitchen area and do I just decided to follow my instincts. To my surprise, he was standing in front of the cooker, flipping something in a pan, shirtless in an apron and in a pair of sweatpants. He turned around and our gaze met."Hey. Good morning."I smiled as I made my way toward him. "Good morning. You're up early.""Yeah, I got up to make breakfast. Come on, have a seat. Breakfast is ready."I did as he told me and sat put as he served me. Breakfast was bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes and maple syrup.As I ate, I noticed he was stealing glances at me. "What?""You're very beautiful, Gen. Very very."I snorted, hoping that was a joke. "I'm sure I look like a mess.""You look breathtaking."I met his gaze and he smiled. Then he got up from where he sat and walked around to where I was, then to my surpris

~Mirabelle~A lot of people were hovering over me when I woke up. Mom, Mariano, two women, a man, Natasha...."Natasha." I called out gently and she was the first to notice as she ran into my outstretched arms."Mama! Mama, you scared the hell out of us all." She was already crying as I brushed the tears away from her face. "Mama, we were so worried...I was so worried. Promise that you won't ever make us worry like that again."I smiled and pulled her close, her head was resting gently on my chest. "I'm fine, sweetie. I'm just...scared." I admitted softly."But why are you scared, mama? We are here for you, remember? Don't be scared, okay? Daddy is here for you. I am here for you. Grandma is here for you. Don't ever feel scared, okay? You're my best friend. I wouldn't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to you. I can't ever live without you, mama."I couldn't help chuckling as I wrapped my arm tightly over her. "Oh my sweet little red haired baby. I love you so much my darling

~Mirabelle~I stood there and watched as Genevieve expressed how she felt about Mason to Ryder. Ryder on the other seemed to be furious but he looked as if he was holding back from lashing out all on his anger on Genevieve. The moment he walked out, I decided to stay for a while. This was bad. I should be with her right now. She had just made a life-changing decision that would probably require a shoulder to lean on and here I was, hiding behind the wall.All of a sudden, she stood up. She glanced at the mirror and then stopped. But just before she could turn around, a hand grasped mine, pulling me into the shadows."What on earth do you think you're doing?""Mariano, she's my sister. I should be in there with her right now. I should--""Then what's stopping you?"I stared into his eyes."Go on. Go to her. She's your sister, right? She needs you. You should be with her right now. So why are you here?""I--I don't think that's a very good idea. She's down right now, I can't afford to a

~Mirabelle~The congregation was filled to the brim. The people present were mostly friends, elites, actresses, musicians, business elites and government officials from all over the world. From where I was seated, I could see Mariano, my friends, Gabriel and even mom. Natasha and I were both at the back row. We didn't want to draw much attention so we just hid there.Then there was Ryder at the altar, waiting like the gentleman he was. Although, there was something about Ryder. Something off about him, he didn't seem quite the man for Genevieve anymore.And then, there was the bride. Walking towards the altar with dad's arm strapped to hers. On getting to the front row, she quickly hugged mom and Gabriel before proceeding to kneel in front of the altar with her soon to be husband. After a short prayer, they were back on their feet as they proceeded to the ring part and then the exchanging of vows.Well, now it was time to declare them husband and wife."If anyone have reason why these

~Mirabelle~I was trying out the dresses, mom had brought earlier for Gen's wedding tomorrow. There was a silver splayed gown with emeralds, a beautiful black straight one with deep cleavage curve and split up the right thigh and a pink short one with diamonds stashed all over. According to her, the theme of the wedding was black and pink, if I wanted to fit in to be noticed, I'd wear pink but if I wanted to remain anonymous and hidden, I'd wear black.At first I didn't want to go. Mom and Mariano were the only ones who knew about my existence. Mariano had argued with mom about telling dad about me but she had slid him off, telling him the consequences that would result from my dad abruptly finding out about my existence. According to her, she would wine and dine him after Gen's wedding then tell him about me. As for now, I still have to remain hidden and try as much as possible to apply heavy makeups contrary to my skin tone, wear sunglasses and colored wigs. That way, they would nev
