Mira’s Return Chapter hundred and twelve
Gerald’s POV. I tossed as I tried to wake up. My head was spinning and my eyes were shut. “Gerald”, I heard my father’s voice. I tried to walk away but the voice became louder and it kept repeating like a radio. “Gerald, it’s me” I woke up in shock, sweating and panting. Kaira held my hand with fear in her eyes. “Are you ok?” She turned on the bedside lamp and got out of bed to get me water. I gulped down the content and tried to control my breathing. “Gerald, you are scaring me” her voice broke and it crushed my heart. “What is going on? This is the third time you are having nightmares in a week”. Kaira was right. I am getting scared to sleep properly. My late father and my past had traumatized my sleep. “Honey, will you talk to a therapist?” She suggested. I looked at her and nodded against her suggestion. “No! I will be fine”. Kaira frowns. “Will you at least tell me what is going on? You are scaring the shit outta me”

I was spending the weekend with Kaira at the golf course when I got a call from Craig. “Excuse me, baby”, I kissed Kaira and walked away to take his call. “Craig, what is the color of your problem?” I hissed. “Red! Boss, it is bad. Can we meet?” He asked with a hint of urgency in his voice. I looked at Kaira and I returned back to my conversation on the phone. “Come to the mansion”. I hung up. I lost focus and signaled for Kaira. We returned to the mansion and I waited for Craig by the pool. He walked in with his gym outfit sweating heavily. “What is the news?” I asked impatiently. “He handed me a new paper and I was on the front page”. I read through and my eyes popped. “What is this madness?” I asked, tossing the paper on the table. “Fernando, “ I laughed bitterly. “What should we do?” I asked, cluelessly. Craig thought for a minute before he responded. “I would suggest you make him CEO for a year til

I looked at Kaira walk out cluelessly. I had no idea what she meant. “Kaira?” I followed her. “What do you mean please?” I held her hand. She wiped her face and looked at me. “Mistress. I don’t want to be known as a spoiled mistress. I love you Gerald and I loved being spoiled by you. But I don’t want to be known for that”. “You know what?, enough of me. You have to rest”. She shoved the conversation. As she walked to the closet, I sat down with a sigh. I hated to think that she would leave me because of Fernando. “Gerald, Gerald”, she tapped me out of my nap. I opened my eyes and she smiled at me in her sexy lingerie. Seeing Kaira wiped out the memory of the long day I had. “Go Freshen up”. She instructed, as she turned on the Tv. I moved closer to her and leaned over to sniff how good she smelled. “Are you serious?” she laughed. “Get off me, you bee”. She pushed me playfully. “No” I held her closer. Kaira created a room

“Good morning sunshine” I kissed Kaira with a smile. She opened her eyes and yawned tiredly. “Stay away” she turned around sleepy. I chuckled at her cute attitude. “All right. I am leaving”. At the mention of leaving, she frowned and sat up. Her nude breasts in view almost changed my mind about work. “All dressed?” She said lazily. I kissed her forehead and allowed her to snuggle before I pulled her off. “Yes baby. I have a meeting in an hour”. Kaira nodded but I couldn’t help but notice her sadness. “What’s wrong?” I asked softly. “Gerald, I can’t stay home all day. I want to get ready with you every morning and get back to dinner together”. I held her hand and nodded. “I will think about it”. She smiled weakly and laid down. My first meeting was with the new board members of Abj ventures. The stocks were back on track and with my reputation and influence, it bounced back with full force. I had made a list of the competitor

“What?” She looked at me with disbelief. “Are you serious?” Her voice cracked. “Babe, " I said acting CEO”. You have to impress me and the board to make it permanent”. Kaira jumped on me and got extremely emotional. “Gerald, you are amazing” she sobbed softly. “Babe”, I pulled her and held her face. “This is a big responsibility. I need to groom you for it”. She nodded and hugged me again. I was happy she was happy but there was uneasiness in my stomach. Kaira is fragile and I fear it might be too much for her. “Easy” I got on my feet and she stood up too. “Kaira, we have a lot of work to do. Starting tomorrow, you will be going with me to the office. I am scared”. I whispered softly as I walked towards the stairs. “Honey, I promise not to let you down”, she sounded so convincing. “Come on, I will learn fast and impress you”, she tried to cheer me up. Kaira broke protocol, she was the first person I hired without background check
Mira’s Return Chapter hundred and seventeen
Kaira’s POV. I watched Gerald walk out of the study and I had mixed emotions. I was excited for my father’s company but I was more worried about the future. Gerald had a point, all my life I have never worked until few months ago. Blending as a secretary was not difficult but handling a company was no joke. I opened the box and I caught myself laughing. It was all the document I needed in a platter of gold. Everything about my father’s company in a box. I got emotional for a while as I brought out the first document. “Dad, I did it”, I sobbed softly not to attract Gerald’s attention. I still couldn’t believe that my plan worked. I smiled victoriously as I recounted all my steps in getting back my father’s company. The arranged blogs and press release, the movie to fix ideas in his head and self pity. It worked! I whispered to myself. Halfway down the first file, I yawned tiredly. My eyes were closing my my brain was shut

Gerald asked me to get enough sleep but I couldn’t. I was a child who waited for Santa. As Gerald slept, I went online and searched for Abj’s new board members. I was learning fast from Gerald. I needed to know the kind of tigers I was going to be having in the room. Gerald remained the king maker. He was by my side and I knew I was safe but I need more than Gerald to be on my team. 6am, I woke up filled with joy and fulfillment. “Good morning sunshine”, Gerald held my waist as he picked his toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet. “Good morning king maker”, I walked out of the bathroom. I had saved the best outfit for this day. A red Zara suit. The trouser fitted perfectly. I wore a cream inner sleeve before adding the red blazer. “Aren’t you stunning?” Gerald leaned on the door. He had a proud smile on his face. “You are going to be one dangerous woman” he winked at me as he walked out. I was filled with accomplish

“When did you study the company’s bylaws?” Gerald asked as he held the door to my office. I walked in and he shut it gently. “I didn’t” I replied walking around in my dream come true. “So you lied?” He asked, taking a seat on the sofa. “Not really, it will be added tomorrow “ I looked at him with a proud smile. Gerald looked at me and was totally speechless. “You just bluffed my board members” he moved his head slowly. “You bluffed me too, I was hooked. I believed” he admitted honestly. I took a seat at the table and enjoyed the beautiful view. It was all mine again. “Enjoy your day as CEO. I fixed a meeting with your employees, enjoy it” he stood up and adjusted his suit. “I will issue a press release and be gone. Kaira, call me when you need to”. He waited till I got the message. As he walked out, I fell on my seat. I spinned the chair around and yelled. “I did it”. It was the best news in my life. “Good morning ma’am, c

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
