Mira’s Return Chapter forty two
Harry's POV. I wiped my tears before getting inside the party. It was hard not hugging Gerald. But it was time he settled it with Mira . She might show up and fill a case. And when She does, I can't take up Gerald's case. With his team of useless lawyers, he might not win against an abused woman. I wouldn't mind taking up her case. I cared about my brother but this was the right thing to do. I saw how this has worn him off. “ Mr Harrison", I heard Mr Fernando. He was the least person I wanted to see or talk to. His greedy and ambitious plans were the cause of all this. I paused my tracks and turned to look at him and his wife. She had Mira's eyes and face. “How are you doing? It's been a while “, he extended his hand. I looked at his hand in disgust and refused to take it. His hand was suspended and his wife was shocked at my action. It didn't bother me. They were the least of my worries. I looked at both of them again and walked out. I went in search of Ka

My legs almost failed me. I staggered back and cleared my throat. Gerald was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. I froze. “Have you become the boss of yourself?”. The sarcasm in his voice was very obvious. “I am…. I am sorry sir”, I apologized without thinking. Gerald laughed and got up from his seat. “This isn’t your day off. You stayed out of the company to fix your nails? That’s a very silly thing to do”, he scolded. I hid my nails behind my back immediately, he mentioned. It didn’t occur to me that I had to be at work. I got too carried away cuddling with Harry and going shopping with him. “I am sorry sir, I didn’t mean to”. Gerald walked closer and I felt his hot breath on my skin. For some reason it gave me goosebumps which he noticed. He touched my goosebumped skin softly and it was the first time I ever felt his soft touch. It made me flick. “You are so funny Kaira. First you act so powerful and then you are getting scared in your own

There was cold silence between us. This wasn’t because I had nothing to say, but because my tongue couldn’t move. I left my seat to his and extended my hand to his. His big palms and my small palms looked like chalk placed on a flat board. Gerald folded his hand on mine and it felt satisfying. “You are doing so well in your role. I am not saying this because I am your secretary and I want to be in your good books. You are going great sir”. Gerald exhaled softly and gently massaged his head with his other hand. “You can get away sometimes”, I suggested. Gerald raised his head and took interest. “I mean, when was the last time you had a vacation. Away from home, work and everything?”. With his reaction, I guessed he had never had any. “You could take a vacation after this trip sir. It will help you get back on “. Gerald playfully smacked my head. “I never knew when you eat you have so much brain power”. We laughed. “I promise to always give yo

Gerald’s spoon fell off his hand. He cleared his throat and it was such a delight to see him uneasy. “Are you joking?”, he asked with so much uncertainty in his voice. “Yes! Is it wrong to have you in my thoughts?”, I asked, filling my mouth with ice cream and deliberately trying to flirt with him. “Good thoughts?”, he asked, picking another spoon from the tray in front of us. His interest sparked my hopes. I loved it. “Yes. When I choose to spend the weekend with my boss, are we going to have ice cream all day?”, I asked. Gerald looked away, smiling. “You are such a handful, I always thought you were timid and what not”. I laughed because he was right. I was timid but not anymore. “I always thought you to be a cold and a grumpy man”. I played with the collar of his shirt. Gerald dropped his cup and held my hand on his collar. It was cold and soft. He took it off and stared at my nails. “In my favorite colors. Seems like we might have a lot in common”. He sai

His hand, he suspended in the air. “Let this be the first and the last time you will ever do that”. He walked out and yelled for Ken. I watched the drama from upstairs and it was the first thing I had seen Gerald this angry. Ken stood in front of Gerald and received two slaps from him. “Are you sick? You’re selling out information to people? No matter who they are! Did you forget your bloody contract?”, he yelled. “I am sorry boss, I wasn’t thinking”, Ken apologized. Gerald looked at him angrily. “You weren’t thinking this through at all”. He walked back upstairs and looked at me like he was disgusted. “Don’t be like that Gerald! All this is your fault. If you hadn't been fooling around with your secretary and cheating on me, all this wouldn’t have happened “, I fired back. Gerald looked around and punched the wall above me. “You embarrassed my staff, I turned a blind eye. You go around harassing them, I turn a deaf ear, you now feel it is proper to trail

__FLASHBACK__ “Hey baby”, Luke tickled Rubby wearing a bright smile as he handed her a box of chocolates and flowers. “They are your favorites”, he kissed her cheeks softly. Rubby inhaled the flowers and gave him a hug. “Thank you baby. You came for my photo session”, she said, almost like a whisper. The camera crew took a break to allow the lovebirds some time. Rubby signaled for a crew member and handed her jacket and flowers to her. “You look stunning, baby. I almost couldn’t recognize you. I had to blink twice”, Luke Exaggerated his compliments as he looked at her tenderly. Rubby blushed and snuggled tightly in his arms. “You need to get out of this outfit. You have two more outfits to model right?”. Rubby paid no attention to his words as she held him tightly, sniffing his clothes and partially rubbing her makeup on him. “Come on Princess, I need to make it back to work soon”, Luke added. Rubby pouted and faked a frown as she leaned away from him. “Will you pick me

Gerald took my phone with a fishy smile and nodded his head sideways. “Ma’am, this is the time when you strike your pose”. I crossed my legs and posed with the class of sparkling wine. Gerald kept giving me thumbs up as a sign to change poses. After a few poses, he handed me my phone. I scrolled through the photos and I was barely satisfied. Gerald was more of a bully than he was with pictures. “What’s that face?”, he asked, sipping wine. I rolled my eyes and ignored him till I deleted the pictures I wasn’t satisfied with. “You are rusty, we need to work on your picture skills too”. I spat without remorse. “Come on!! You don’t expect me to take photography lessons”, he protested seriously. We got to our hotel and my mouth fell open subconsciously. It was a magnificent building. Khalid led the way and spoke Arabic with some men who helped us with our luggage. We got to the reception and it took great control to keep my excitement and enthusiasm in chec

It took almost ten minutes to complete my order. We had no choice but to try out something new. I freshened up and sorted my luggage. I arranged my files and brought out my notepad. It was time to fix Gerald’s schedule. His meeting was scheduled for 10am every day to end at 2pm. This meant that we had many free hours before bedtime. The ding rang and I knew our meal was ready. Before I got to the door, Gerald was there. He rolled the tray in and settled in the dining room. He looked at me and hissed playfully. At first sight, he looked pleased. It was a tray of different meals I wasn’t familiar with. The only familiar food was the grilled lamb. “Can you eat this?” I voiced my fear. Gerald nodded and took a bite. It quickly crossed my mind that he was a frequent traveler in Dubai. “Are you scared?”, he laughed softly. “Try it, it isn’t that bad”. I swallowed the food like it was dried sand but it tasted nice. I didn’t know what it was but I loved how it tasted.

Mira’s Return Epilogue
“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
