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
Rubby’s POV. As soon as I saw my husband at the door, I staggered. He pushed himself in and slammed the door. My heart was having a heart attack. My chest was pounding too much and it scared me. “I won’t ask again, what happened here?” He asked and I knew what he meant but my mouth was not functioning at the same speed as my brain. He walked to the dispenser and ran water in a cup. He handed it over to me and sat down without a fight or a threat. I swallowed the water in a rush. My hands were stable now and so was my chest. “Gerald, I am sorry” he raised his head and looked at me. I knew what it meant. “I was about to go to my parents when I saw her. She walked up to me and…..and asked me where you were “. Gerald’s face was straight with no emotions. I needed to know what he felt and thought before I could continue but I couldn’t. He signaled me to keep talking and I nodded. “I told her she should leave my home and look elsewhere but she wasn’t li
Gerald’s POV. After the doctor’s appointment, Kaira and I went to a cinema. We sat in a private room and watched movies. I felt at peace. “Gerald” she leaned away from my chest and kissed me softly. “Yes baby”, I rubbed her shoulder gently. “I don’t know what to say,” she confessed and chuckled. “Really” I teased her and kissed her nose. “You are messing with me, “ I laughed. She sighed softly and asked me the most unexpected question. “Would you do anything for me?” She asked. “Kaira, you know I would do anything to make you happy “ I assured her. She said nothing and repeated the question again. “Would you do anything for me?” She looked at my eyes this time. “Kaira”, I held her face and stared back into her eyes. “Baby, I am not lying to you. I might have done so many dishonest things but I have always been honest with us”. I caressed her face. “I love you. Kaira I will do anything to keep you forever. This is not even a debate,
I felt miserable as I watched them walk out of the sitting room giggling like a real couple. I walked back upstairs and took my car key. I bumped into her on the stairs and all that filled my heart was anger. “Rubby” she called me with a fishy smile. “Stay away from me!!” I lashed out as I rushed to my car. I drove like a mad woman till I got to my parents. I barged inside the house and my mom stood up in a hurry. “Baby , what is wrong this time?” She asked, opening her hands wide for me. I hugged her tightly and cried out my eyes. “If you are so tired why don’t you leave?” My dad said coldly without taking his eyes away from the tv. I ignored his words and leaned on my mom fully. She sat down and helped me sit. “Gerald brought her home mom. Gerald brought Kaira home” I sobbed louder. “What? How dare he do that!” My mom patted my head as she raised her voice. “That boy is too arrogant, he dared do this? Rubby, you are leaving that ma
I carried Kaira inside the bedroom in bridal style and gently dropped her on the bed. She looked into my eyes and all I could see was needs. “Kaira…” before I could seek her consent, she drew me closer and kissed me passionately. I was caught unaware but I leaned in closer and kissed her with all my heart. I closed my eyes and allowed my heart and lips to do the job. Kaira broke the kiss and touched my face tenderly. “I love you Honey”, she pulled me closer and our lips locked again. My tongue savored every moment inside her lips. My hand left her face to her thigh and carefully grabbed it. Kaira patted her legs wider for more room. Her short flare dress made it easy for me to explore her thighs. As our kiss deepened, my hand tailed further till it reached her butt. The feeling of her bare butt against my hand made my dick nod. “I took off my underwear for you,” she muttered in between our kiss. Her words made my dick grow bigger with ve
“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. We stood at the ends of the table in an empty board room. I had no words, my heart was rai
