Mira’s Return Chapter hundred and seven
Harry’s POV. How I found myself on that bench again was a mystery. I sat there for more than six hours. My heart was shattered. It was the bitter taste of truth that I wished was never told. Her words played back in my head and it made me realize that she might have never felt anything for me. “Are you stalking me?”. I lifted my head to meet Elizabeth. She held two packs of take outs. She handed one to me with a smile. Reluctantly, I took it. She sat next to me and opened her pack of food. The aroma from the food made me hungry. I opened mine and ate quickly. Elizabeth handed me a bottle of water. As I took it, I noticed she was in her uniform. “Thank you”, I whispered. A few minutes later, her pager beeped. “That’s it. I am needed at the hospital”. She stood up to leave and I realized that the city’s hospital was directly opposite the library. It wasn’t a coincidence to meet her twice here. “Wait” I stopped her. She turned around an

Kaira’s POV. I closed my eyes and folded my fists as I tried to suppress my emotions. Harry was hurt and I tried to believe it was his heart talking. Since he stepped in, he had been rude and I tried not to react to all his words. “Harry, are you here to listen or to judge me?” I asked after a while. He looked away angrily from me. “I am done. I can’t explain myself to you”. I stood up and attempted to walk out when he stuttered. “Sorry, I am listening “. I sat down and allowed him to calm down before I continued. “After sorting my certificate, I needed a job. After many applications, I had few job offers but the salary and job position wasn’t enticing enough. Surprisingly, you offered me a job in Gerald’s company. It was at this opportunity that my game plan changed . Gerald is very powerful and it is almost impossible to hurt him from a distance. It needed to be at close range”. Harry’s brows unfolded and his eyes were more relaxed.

Gerald’s POV. “Go break a leg”, Kaira kissed my cheeks as she fixed my tie. It was Monday and the day I would see the look of defeat in Fernando’s eyes. It was the day I set an example of him to everyone looking to humiliate me. “I will crush bones baby”, I said proudly. Kaira walked me to the car and waved till I drove out of sight. Looking at her from the rear mirror, I wondered how I got so lucky. Kaira was the missing puzzle in my life. I have everything because I have her. I arrived at Abj ventures company and had the best architectural design for the front. It was now my company and I was ready to make it mine in every shade. “Good morning boss,” Craig walked behind me with his Associate. “Craig, is everything ready?” I asked as we took the elevator. “Yes. The board members and Fernando are seated”. That was the perfect news I needed for my morning. We got to the board room and I entered with pride.

Rubby’s POV. Seeing my dad break down broke me more. Not in a million years had I ever imagined our lives to crumble like this. “Dad, please” I hugged him as he sat on the floor in tears. “We would work it out. Please”. My heart was breaking. Last week was my divorce and this week was my dad losing the company to the same man I lost my marriage to. “Rubby,” he held me and sniffed. “I am sorry you are seeing me like this. I just can’t help it”. I leaned on him till he asked to excuse himself. I watched him claim the stairs with so much pain in my heart. This morning he was happy over the breakfast I fixed for him. He returned back with a box. It was all over. “Mom?” I called but there was no response. It was strange because we were together when my dad broke the news. I looked around and still couldn’t find her. “Where is my mom?” I asked a maid. “She is by the pool”. At the mention of pool, my heart skipped. I had str

Kaira’s POV. Every Wednesday is shopping day. Gerald had made it a priority to make sure I go out once a week to get everything I needed. His debit card did the tricks. Gerald made sure I had more than enough money to spend. “Can I stop at your office after shopping?” I yawned on bed as I watched him get ready for work. Gerald looked at me and raised a brow. “It’s ok if you don’t want me there”, I played a pity card. “Hey hey”, he came to bed and held my face. “I want you everywhere with me. I am just surprised”. I faked a frown and he apologized more. “Baby, don’t get me wrong. I… alright you can come to see me whenever you want”. I smiled softly as he kissed my forehead. “Peter is downstairs, he will drive you anywhere” he said before he left. As the door slammed closed, I got out of the bed and locked it from behind. I walked back to the spot I discovered his father’s private study two years ago and found the switch.

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”
Mira’s Return Chapter hundred and thirteen
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

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
