Mira’s Return Chapter eight
Harry looked at me with a chuckle, “I should be apologizing that you are suffering because of this. Gerald is living in my dad’s shadow” he concluded. I rolled my eyes and he understood I wasn’t in the mood to back up or defend my husband’s bad behavior. He moved his hand on my waist and slowly rubbed my back in a comforting manner but instead all he heard was a hiss. “What’s wrong?” He asked curiously. I looked away and tried to escape his grip but it was too late. He held me back and came behind me. His breath on my neck was warm. It was electrifying. It was the first time I experienced Romance. He touched the hem of my tee shirt and my body gave me away. My sudden consciousness he noticed. “Relax, I wouldn’t do that”. I blushed shyly. I loved how he looked and took care of me. He slowly raised up my shirt and his expression was a frown. “What the hell!!” He spat angrily. “You have new wounds and healing wounds. Gerald!”. Harrison was more upset than I expected. He

Harrison moved closer to me and pulled me into his arms. His hands around my waist, my butt against his groin area and his lips on my neck. I felt comfortable but my conscience peeked me. “Harry, isn’t this too much? I am still married to your brother “ I slowly moved away from him. I didn’t need his words to know he was sad. “Mira, can you please not remind me that you belong to my brother?”. His voice was fierce and different from what I was used to. “I am not going to be reminded of how miserable I am. You are no longer with him. You are with me now!! With me!” He started again. He pulled me closer this time gently and leaned on my shoulder. “Babe, I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I hate the idea of sharing you” he sighed. I understood how he felt and I wasn’t going to blame him for what fate did to us. I extended my hand to comfort him. I stroked his face and ears. “It’s fine, I am sorry for bringing him up, I just felt we were too close”. Harry ignored me a

“What?”. The whole room fell silent with tension. My response to my mom’s vocal question and their imaginary questions was answered by shock in their faces. “Mathilda talk sense into your daughter! This is pure madness”, my step father spat angrily. He paced around while my step sister was trying to hide the happiness that was pouring out from her heart to her face. “Mira, what’s going on? You can’t just walk in here and ask for a divorce. Gerald is a good…”. Before my mom could finish her sentence, her husband jumped in. “Listen to me Mira Copper, you are not divorcing Gerald and that is final”. I could not tell what it was, but something tempted me to laugh. I laughed bitterly as soon as he was done ranting. “Mira! You are scaring me”. My mom pulled me to a seat. With concerns and fears all over her face. “Mira, I need you to tell me, I mean us, what is going on? Why the sudden flip?” She asked like she was carjoling a child. It took me twenty five seconds
Mira’s Return Chapter Eleven
The drive back to my nightmare was the shortest drive in my life. It felt like seconds. Throughout, I stayed far away from Gerald in the car. He would chuckle and look away from me at intervals. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he walked around and opened the door for me like a gentleman. Behind this kind gesture, I knew my whole world was ending soon. He led me inside his mansion and pointed to a seat in the living room. “Mira, whose clothes are you wearing?”. His voice was blasting like thunder in my mind. Gerald kept tapping his feet as he waited for me to respond. In fear, I was dumb. I looked at Harry’s clothes and I dared not to cause a fight between two brothers. I swallowed my saliva as he asked the same question again. “My ….my friend’s sir “. My throat was dried, I needed water but I dared not to ask. Here I was a little lower than the maids. Gerald examined the clothes again and the look on his face changed dramatically. “Expensive brands!
Mira’s Return Chapter twelve
After the incident with Gerald and Harry, I never saw him again till the day I escaped Free City. I was always seeing his cars in the mansion, hearing his voice from the mansion, study or garden but I never saw him. With those thoughts, I went to bed. It was going to be a big day for me at dawn. I woke up at 8:12am the next day and the first thing I did was to blindly look for my phones on the bed. As soon as my hand touched one, I yawned loudly. ‘Mira, I don’t know if I should say Kaira. It’s been a year and I still miss you. Nobody bakes cookies and bread the way you do. I miss having you around. I don’t know how long I can hold on here without you. Don’t push me, you are testing me. You are who I want, I love you. I can’t believe I am writing this at 3 am. Kaira, don’t stay too long, I might lose it ‘. My chest clinged when I read the text from Felix. He was a stubborn man who hasn’t given up on me. The way he loves me scares me, I get frightened by how much he expresses his
Mira’s Return Chapter Thirteen
As I walked out of the registrar’s office three day later, I walked out with my certificate and a bright smile. An optimistic sign for the next step. She was not a difficult woman. The processes were swift and straightforward. I boarded a taxi as I went through my account balance, I was running short of zeroes and it bothered me. My apartment has been furnished and it was time to get a job. My new life has begun out of the blue. The stars were in my favor as I stopped in front of a supermarket to shop. As soon as I rolled my shopping cart into the supermarket, I bumped into the most unexpected person.Harry’s POV After a long day at the chambers, I got home and realized I had literally nothing in my cabinets and in my fridge. It was a long day with brainstorming and I needed to fuel back up. I stopped at a restaurant and filled myself out. The food I consumed was large enough to fill up six elephants. I entered my car and decided to shop too. I wouldn’t want to

I walked around and helped her with the door. I walked back and started the engine. “Where to?” I asked, fixing my rear mirror. “Idi estate”. I began the drive to her location and for the first few minutes it felt weird. “So, where do you work?” I started a conversation. Kaira chuckled at my question before she spilled the beans. “I am jobless for now. I am searching for a job “. I felt awkward asking such a question. It felt as if she could see through my thoughts. “It’s ok Harry, you don’t need to”. Those words were like fires in my head. It added more pressure to my already guilty thoughts. The rest of the drive was silent. The only sound in the car was that of her nails falling on her phone. As soon as we got to her apartment, she turned to look at me with a smile and a soft thank you whisper. I watched her take off her seatbelt. It felt like my whole world was crumbling. It was very hard to see her go down. “Hey”, I stopped her halfway out of my c
Mira’s Return Chapter Fifteen
My peace was that she was safe, somewhere far away from a man who would kill her to gain it all. Since her departure, Gerald and I kept at arms length because I confronted him and blamed him for her departure. The day she went missing, he called me and informed me about it. “This is the second time she has gone missing now!! What the heck is wrong with that woman”, he blasted on the phone. I played along till it was over a week. When he had done and searched all through the city, I slammed him face to face. I had walked in several times when he would hit and abuse her but just once had I defended her. Since I confronted Gerald, he had been very careful with me. He knew we were different and his fear increased because just a press conference from his blood brother was enough to stir a scandal and with the evidence at my disposal, he feared that I would overthrow him. But was that even my mission?. Despite our differences and Mira’s disappearance which I aided

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.
