I had a cranky smile in advance as I was about to make more enemies in broad daylight.

“Economic growth is very important for any moving city or country. I mean, if the economy of a state is not growing, there is bound to be unhealthy businesses and business growth”.

The government officials gave a nod and I could see frowns radiating in the faces of old business men and a few women.

“My take is very simple and it is for productivity and the city’s economic development. I for one will want our city to be the most stable and prosperous in the world. Any implementation holding the growth should not be delayed”.

There was a round of applause from the government officials and a few business members. “Mr Lead, are you listening at all?”.

I turned to the direction of an angry looking man. “The government is trying to increase product taxes by 12%. This means the cost of production will also increase by 12%. That is too much!”.

    Harry’s POV Today was Kaira’s therapy session. The best time to spend time with her without Gerald’s presence. I waited for her in the sitting room impatiently. I couldn’t wait to see her. My pacing paused when I saw her walking down the stairs gently. She looked like an Angel in her white flare dress and yellow purse. It was a beautiful color in her. She looked at me with a straight face. “Good morning, how was your night?” I asked as she walked down. “Good morning Mr Harry, I slept well”. Her straight face and forwardness was hurting, I pushed it away and tried to hold another conversation. “Had breakfast?”, I asked trailing behind her. “Yes, thank you. Your brother always makes sure I don’t skip meals”. She was cold and mean. Her words about Gerald fueled up the anger I had for him before. We got outside and I helped her with the door. I stared at her as she battled with the seatbelt. The anger in me had no intentions to h

    It was an awkward moment for us. She looked at me and blinked away several times before I could notice. I was optimistic and more concerned about the plans I had made for us. The drive to the very first place we had our first date was nervous and filled with silence. Kaira would barely say anything to me. I packed and she looked around before giving me a confused look. “This doesn’t look like my apartment “. I ignored Kaira and turned around to help her out of the car. She looked around and a slight confusion appeared on her face. “Well, you like what you see?” I asked, almost blushing. She walked around and looked everywhere with a soft expression. “This was the first place we came together for the first time. It was the date I ever had with a woman”. The last lines flew out of my mouth like a whisper. She nodded without words and looked around more. “It feels familiar,” she smiled softly. Seeing her smile was the best therapy for me.

    He touched her and gradually held her hand tight before pulling her in for a hug. My eyes were wide open but my brain felt dead. The way he looked at her and held her meant he was more than a rude man. This man knew Kaira and she meant something to him. “I am sorry, but I…. I ..” I immediately helped Kaira get her words out. “She had an accident and she lost her memory “. It was like a bullet shot off from a snipper. It went straight to him. “What!” He panicked. “Is she receiving medication?” He asked, examining her arm and all her body. “That’s enough sir” I stepped in. “Kaira is in safe hands “. I held her and tried to take her back to the car but she stopped me. “Wait Harry”. She went back to him and smiled softly. “I am sorry but I can’t remember you. We can hang out sometime and talk about anything “ she chuckled with a bright smile. Felix scoffed and nodded. “Can I have your number?” She asked like she was proposing to him. Without hesitat

    Unknown POV “Why are you doing this, Greg?” She asked with a sob. “Things can’t work, and I don’t want to have this baby or this conversation “. Greg nodded his head in refusal and moved to touch her but she moved away. “Mathilda, please. I want you back. I promise to work twice as hard….” Her scoff made him pause. Her mind was made up and there was nothing he could do to change it. “It’s my baby. You can’t take my child to him. Is he aware you are carrying my child?” He asked with a frown. His eyes didn’t blink, they stayed glued and focused as they tried to get answers from her eyes. “Wow! Did we mean nothing to you? Those memories are worthless? You can leave me but not take away my child from me “ he vented. Mathilda looked away as she helped her eyes not to shed any tears. “Fernando is rich. He can handle a baby. Greg we can’t”. Greg couldn’t believe his ears. He moved back and leaned on the wooden table. “It’s about the money?” H

    “Shhhhh” Gerald warned me with his hands. He signaled me to bring down my voice. He looked towards the stairs to confirm if somebody was coming. He moved closer to me and forced himself to seat with me. “Look, just go back to the mansion. I will see you there and sort all this”. Gerald was trying to negotiate. I wasn’t that dumb. I knew he wanted to keep our marriage secret because of his sick secretary and that was going to be my weapon. “No!” I got more confident. “I am not moving an inch from this place till you come back home”. Gerald was tired. I could see it in his eyes. His eyes were on his watch. “Sir, break…..fast “ the maid tried to announce but my husband’s glance was enough to dismiss her. “Rubby… you should not push me. Get out”. My heart pounced, my hands started shaking and my feet were sweating in my flats. “I am not scared of death or pain. I have nothing to fear. My greatest fear is already happening. Losing you

    “Gerald business is business. I understand the heat and stress from your personal life and I am here to make sure it doesn’t affect your profits “. I laughed bitterly as he finished talking. I couldn’t help it. “If you are done, you can politely use the door”. I shunned. He got up on his feet and he was really upset. “Gerald, I know you don’t respect me but I demand it. This is not right”. He explained. I wasn’t ready to say anything more than what I had said. His face was the biggest part of my problem right now. “Is it about Rubby? Look Gerald, you are also to blame for all this……” as soon as I raised my head to look at him, he paused, swallowing his words. I stood up and walked up to him with a pressure ball in my hand. “ You have no rights to be here, no rights to interfere in my personal life, no right to give a lecture “ His eyes were dimming and closing. “When I am ready to terminate the contract, my legal team will send yo

    Rubby tried to move back but she couldn’t. I guessed she wasn’t expecting to see me. “What are you all still doing here?” I lashed out angrily. They rushed back to their various duties and left us alone. Rubby tried to run back to the mansion but Harry stopped her. “Don’t you dare move an inch”. It was the first time I saw him in such a mood. He walked closer to Rubby and clenched his fist. “I am sorry, she pushed me to” Rubby defended with fear. Kaira looked at me with teary eyes and I felt lost. “Really? She pushed you to?” Harry yelled and Rubby almost missed her steps in fear. “Harry let it be” I stepped in between. Harry moved back and held Kaira. I looked at Rubby without words. I was tired of everything. She rushed back inside without a second thought. I looked around and saw luggages. I knew they were for Kaira. She had come to me. My heart was heavy and I couldn’t believe what was happening. I walked towards the garden and buried my hand in

    “Can’t you do anything?” Mira wiped her eyes as she watched Gerald escorted by the wardens into prison. Harry squeezed her hand and sighed heavily. “He made his choice, he struck a deal in court and I hate how helpless I am”. His voice, filled with pain as he watched his brother out of sight. “It is funny” Mira laughed bitterly. “You always have someone who you share your day and wins with. Somebody who is willing to listen and make you feel better”. She sobbed softly. “You don’t realize how much they mean to you till the day they leave you”. Mira’s word struck Harry to the bones. He looks at space and memories of Elizabeth filled his mind. “Mira, I need to go” he announced, running back to his car. Mira stood outside the prison’s facility till Craig showed up. “How is he?” She asked him curiously. “He is fine. He asked me to give you this”. Craig handed Gerald’s bracelet to her before walking to his car. She held it closely to

    Rubby hung her hand around me and hugged me tightly. “I am sorry”. She sniffed in my arms. I looked at my mom, she had a pity face on. I signaled her to come over. She rushed to us and we shared a group hug. “Baby” she hugged me and wept softly as we refrained. “Gerald plead guilty” I said coldly. “He already won but He stood up for me and….” I broke down in her arms. “Shhhh. I am here” my mom stroked my hair and it felt comfortable and peaceful. “I thought I wanted him to suffer, but now I can’t bear to see him being put away”. I cried loudly. “He still loves you, Mira” Rubby said dryly. I raised my head and looked at her. “Yes. I have seen how miserable he looked this few days and he still loves you”. She nodded at me. My eyes poured more tears down my face. “I… I don’t know what to do”. I confessed in tears. “Baby, has 46 hours left. Talk to him once. You will feel better”. She assured me. My mom was right

    “Mira, you wanted him to suffer, so this is just revenge for you?” He asked. “Yes! You are right. It is revenge for everything he did to me. He abused me and….”. “Is there a report of this allegation?” Craig interrupted her again. Mira was speechless, she opened her mouth and there were no words, just tears. Gerald battled with my grip on him. His hands were shaking. “Did you make or file a report?” Craig asked again. “No but…Harry….” “Oh you mean his brother you were sleeping with also abused you?” Craig blocked her words before it even left her mouth. “Enough! Stop! Stop!” Gerald stood up and yelled. He walked towards the stand and pushed Craig. “Stop. Enough of this madness”. He yelled. “Mr Lead, return to your seat”. The judge commanded. “No, I will not”. Gerald responded. “He has gone mad,” I whispered. “Your honor, isn’t this obvious. My client is in love with the same woman who is bent on ruining h

    My sitting room became a mini courtroom. It was the second time Harry was preparing me for the stand. “Harry, I got this” I sighed weakly. Harry looked at me and walked towards me like he was about to punch me. “No you don’t, till I feel you are ready, you are not ready”. I swallowed my pride. “The trial is in twelve hours and Naira has never lost a case and she is a blood hungry woman. She won’t rest till she breaks you on the stand! Got it?”. I nodded and took the stand again. Harry went over possible scenarios and prepared me for my response. “Harry, Naira doesn’t have witnesses”. Craig walked up to him. “Does that mean that she bluffed?” He asked. Craig pulled him aside and from the look on their faces, my guts knew something was wrong. “What?” I asked, getting off the mock stand. “Mira is the only witness she has”. Harry said weakly. I fell on the couch with a headache. “This means she will testify against him no matter what w

    Harry’s POV. As soon as I heard their plot, I spoke up. I have been standing for the past two minutes and none of them could tell. They were all filled with range and revenge. “Harry” Craig walked forward but I pushed him out of my way. I went to Gerald and he looked away. “I told you not to do anything! What are you thinking?” I fired at him. “He just lost his company to a woman and you are here beating him for trying to stand for himself” Rubby hissed. “I knew you would be here. A snake trying to get an opportunity to strike! Aren’t you ashamed? Do you have a conscience?” I yelled at her. She looked away and sat down shamelessly. “This is your sister who you never cared about, at first glance you married her husband and now you are here to do what?” I lashed out at her. Craig looked lost and confused. “This is all a means for you to get Gerald, but I will not allow your selfish nature to tear my family apart!”. Rubby looked at me and bat

    Gerald’s POV. Nothing prepared me for the moment I saw Mira in her office sipping coffee. I thought I was prepared but I wasn’t. She looked pale and I couldn’t help but notice her eye bags. “Boss”, Craig opened the door and I walked in. At first glance, my heart sank. I hated the feelings I was getting. The urge to walk forward and hug her. “You don’t have an appointment”, she fired at Craig. Craig laughed and took a seat in front of her. I stood by the door, unable to move an inch. I missed her. “My client and I have a settlement offer for you”. Craig presented a settlement document he suggested would cease the fire before it even started. He signaled me and I walked forward and sat next to him. She picked the document and looked at me. “Really?” She smiled coldly. Her smile frightened me. She slipped through the pages and her facial expression changed. “You can’t depose me as CEO ” she said aggressively.

    Flashback. I stood under the drizzling rain with a coat as I waited patiently for Craig. He was my trump card to get through Gerald. “Hey”, I walked after him as he walked out of his apartment in gym clothes. “What?” He blasted at me without slowing down. “Can you be polite”, I almost lost my patience. He paused, turned around and raised a brow at me. “I am not your lawyer and I have no intention of becoming one. Even if I loose my job, you can’t afford me”. He was a proud asshole and I felt like walking out on him but I couldn’t. I needed him. “This is not about me. It is about your client, your money bank, without him you would still be an associate in a law clinic”. I fired back. He looked around and walked closer to me. “What do you want?” He lowered his voice and adjusted his tone. “You saw the news. Your client’s wife reappeared after two years and that means trouble”. Craig looked at me like he had no choice. “Follow me”.

    Rubby’s POV. I came back from the gym to meet my parents standing in front of the tv like they have seen a ghost. “Mom?” I walked closer and caught a glimpse of the screen. “Abj’s new CEO reveals her true identity. Mira Greg”. I cleaned my eyes to make sure I was seeing properly. Like a wind, it struck me. “I have waited for this,sister”. “What in Free city is this manipulation”. I yelled. “Mom, she is Mira”. I almost lost balance. My mom was motionless. She looked lost as tears rolled down her face. Dad couldn’t lift his face. He walked back upstairs slowly. It all made sense at once. “It was all a plot. She never lost her memory. She sneaked her way in through pity”. I muttered in spite. “Gerald. She manipulated his feelings….. I must warn him”. “Rubby, he is aware” my mom’s voice stopped me halfway. “What?” I turned back and she nodded. “He was at the board meeting when she revealed her identity. She revealed he

    Kaira’s POV. “I am Mira Greg, the daughter of the founder Abj venture. The wife of Gerald Lead. And it is a pleasure to be back home”. The board members stood up and clapped. It was the first time I ever I had the urge to breakdown in public. My heart was satisfied and my eyes shared tears of joy and fulfillment. Clara walked forward and hugged me. “You are a strong woman and I am proud of you “. She wiped the tear that escaped from her eyes. I hugged her back and it felt good. The clapping and cheering of the board members increased. It was my moment and I enjoyed every bit of it. “Mira, you are a great woman. Welcome” Mr Khoki tapped my shoulder. I got the the sympathy and respect of my board members and it was going to be a new dispensation. One at a time, the congratulated me and exited the board room. It was time to face my husband.
