Mira’s Return Chapter ninety eight
I could barely blink my eyes all night. At 6am, I rushed downstairs and waited for the delivery company. I paced around the sitting room for twenty minutes before I heard a doorbell. My instinct was right. He was standing there with the biggest frame size I had ever had. They helped me bring it in. I signed the papers and smiled happily at my present to my husband and his mistress. I pulled off brown paper that wrapped the frame and it was beautiful. It was our wedding picture. I called the butler and asked him to hang it in the center of the sitting room. He hesitated but after threatening to fire him, he gave the instructions. It was bold and barely unnoticed. I loved it. I got back to my room and prepared for my victory day. I smiled at myself in the mirror and wore my best dress. I styled my hair and picked my purse downstairs. As I walked down the stairs, I heard Gerald’s door open. My heartbeat increased as I watched in anticipation.
Mira’s Return Chapter ninety nine
Gerald’s POV. I watched as Kaira slammed the bedroom door in my face. My whole body was on fire. “Kaira please? Open the door”. My voice was shaking and my hands were sweating. I felt the urgent need to throw up. I banged on the door harder but my hands failed me. I moved weakly to the sink and emptied the content in my guts. I panted heavily as I splashed water on my face. Just like a dream, my once happy morning had turned against me. After our passionate morning together, I made up my mind to inform Harry about my feelings for Kaira. It was going to be difficult but I hated to hide that I was in love with her. She kissed my cheeks as she planned to fix breakfast for us. I watched as she left and attempted to go with her but she refused sweetly. Not too long, I heard Rubby screaming and a light sobbing. “Rubby” I whispered beneath my breath. Halfway down the stairs, my legs froze. I saw my wedding portrait with Rubby in

Harry’s POV I spent the entire day in the library. My mind was blown and occupied by my brother’s betrayal. At the thought of it, I tossed a book with a yell. The pain had been tough and wrapped tight in my chest. I dialed Kaira subconsciously and hung up at intervals because I had no words for her either. I wailed in frustration. I was a fool to think she would remember me when all she sees in the morning was my brother. “Mr Harry, we are closing”. I looked at a middle -aged Liberian and sniffed. I picked up my coat and headed for the door. I sat on the bench for over an hour before I realized the person next to me the whole time. “It’s drizzling Harry. Can you drive?”. I looked at her without her uniform. She was as soft as a petal. Her sense of style was classic. “Stop staring, it’s Elizabeth “. I scoffed and looked away. I forced my legs up and unlocked my car from a distance. “How would you get home?” My cracked voice asked.
Mira’s Return Chapter hundred and one
I woke up tired and with a headache. I yawned and looked around. My neck hurts. Sleeping on the sofa. I looked at my watch and it was 10:09 pm. I yawned and stood on my feet. I tried to remember what happened and my head banged. At first thought, I was subconsciously called “Elizabeth “. I turned on the light and I saw her sleeping in her dress on the sofa. I moved closer and tapped her gently. “Elizabeth “. She opened her eyes and smiled as she yawned. “How are you feeling?” She asked, sitting up. She adjusted, giving me room to sit. “Headaches” I frowned. She kissed my head and roughed my hair. “You are so cute,” she laughed. She walked to the kitchen and turned on the lights. I watched her serve food and microwaved it. A few minutes later, she placed a plate in front of me. “ eat up”. Staring at her act freely bothered me. I remember how I harassed her and I felt ashamed. Unlike Gerald, I was not used to alcohol. A glass was enough

Rubby’s lawyer picked the document and scoffed. He passed the document to Mr Fernando and he tossed it away angrily. “This is bullshit! You can’t ruin my daughter’s life and offer her peanuts. This is nonsense “ he slammed the table. Rubby wiped her tears and sobbed softly. I looked away and maintained my facial expression. My lawyer was composed and had a soft smile. Rubby’s lawyer cleared his throat and tossed a document to Craig. “We knew this was going to happen, so we came with our own terms of settlement”. Craig looked at the document and passed it over to me. I looked at it and I was tempted to laugh. They were demanding 50% of my company’s shares. Craig understood my facial expression and ended the meeting at once. “This is bullshit and outrageous. We are willing to offer 5% which is more than fair because my client never included your client in his business or personal finance”. Craig looked at them

Gerald’s POV Craig and I walked to my office and he shut the door. “What did you find?” I asked him curiously. Seeing Fernando’s face in the conference room almost made me puke. He was a greedy man and I felt like punching his smug face. “It is a solution if we can convince other board members” Craig handed a paper. I looked at him as I opened it. My eyes popped as I read halfway. I looked at him and he had a soft smile. “You mean it is a great opportunity to buy all the stocks?” I asked him. “Yes. You will be getting all the stocks for “700,000,000 as it devalued in the market”. It all made sense as he explained. I was interested and all I could imagine was seeing his smug face in shame. His company which was worth $2billion was going to be mine. “Get to it! Get the rest of the board members to sell off their shares to me”. Craig nodded and walked out. I rested on my chair with a smile. It

Harry’s POV. I got back from the office after a long day and my bedroom was littered with papers and objects. “Beverly” I yelled angrily. She ran out of my room with a meow. I was too tired to lift a muscle. All I wanted to do was to sleep and sleep till I felt hungry. As I tossed my tie and shoe away, I bent down to fix Kaira’s work box that Beverly had scattered around. I picked them piece by piece till I caught sight of her framed certificate. I smiled softly as I had memories of her. My eyes caught the university name. “Huh” I looked with surprise. “This university is in Free city!” I looked again to confirm and my heart knew something was wrong. Kaira had told me she was from Bombay and she came to Free city to start fresh. Felix told me he meant her at Levino. I knew something was not right. Kaira had told me she had never been to Free city. I wondered how she had a degree in free city when she admitted never to be her

Mira’s POV. I looked at Harry with pity. It was hard to keep the truth from him. “Harry, I liked you. I mean you are the first man who treated me right” I sipped my vodka. Harry nodded and tossed the glass in his hand against the wall. I sat still like a dolly as I watched him. Not in a million years did I ever think that Harry would find out about me. Felix had advised that I tell him the truth. I knew this wasn’t the right time. _____ Flashback_____ After booking a ride, I told him the location Felix had sent to me an hour ago. We weren’t going to meet up at his apartment to avoid getting caught. The drive was for 30 mins before I caught sight of Felix. My face warmed up as he took my hand from the cab. I had missed seeing him. It took great courage not to hug him the day we met. Pretending not to know him was very difficult. How could I forget the man who gave me a new life and a home?. “Kaira?” He smil

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
