MIRABELLA

Aiden's call woke me up from sleep and I quickly answered it when I saw his name flashing on my phone's screen.

"Tell me you have good news for me," I said desperately.

"Calm down, Ella," Aiden replied. "I agreed to help you so why won't I get the information you need? I think you and Nova can be friends in the future. Try being nice to her whenever you see her, she isn't so bad you know."

Although I appreciated Aiden's help, the things he was saying to me were not what I wanted to hear. However, I let him beat around the bush before he finally said, "Lucas is single and Nova is the only woman in his life.

He had her out of wedlock many years ago from his childhood sweetheart. They were so much in love back then but he didn't have a penny to his name. When she got pregnant, her parents were so disappointed that they kicked her out of the house.

She had a difficult life with Lucas who was poor back then as he tried to provide for her in his own way. She had it difficult durin

He flashed me a smile of gratitude before getting out of my car and afterward, I zoomed off to school.I had two classes today but I planned to stay for just one. From what Aiden sent to me yesterday, Lucas would be at The Kings' by twelve and my second class was going to end around that time. I needed to get back home, get ready and be at the club before Lucas arrived.It would be the first time in my life to ditch a class but I convinced myself that I would make up for it once I got Lucas to be mine.I met up with Aiden who was waiting for me outside the class and just when we were about to go in, I saw Nova. I swallowed my pride and said, "hi Nova."However, she rolled her eyes at me and rather smiled at Aiden as she waved at him.

    MIRABELLAAfter standing for a while, I finally got into my car and drove myself back home. I went straight to my bed and threw myself on it, thinking about the next step I needed to take.My phone rang and when I saw "Charmer" on my screen, I instantly answered the call and asked, "what's up, Aiden?""How did it go?" Aiden asked. "Are you guys a couple now?""I wish it were that easy," I replied. "He wouldn't even look at me but I can't give up."Aiden was quiet for a while before saying, "sorry, dear. Just give it time and you will get what you want. You're an amazing girl and Lucas would be lucky to have you."I smiled, "thanks, Charmer, you really know how to make me happy. See you tomorrow."As I lay on my bed, I thought about the best way to attract Lucas' attention and came up with the idea of dressing provocatively to his company. Even without an appointment, I knew how to get myself invited into his office. No matter how much Lucas tried, he would not be able to turn his eyes

    MIRABELLALucas stared at me in surprise and I could tell that my confession had taken him off guard. I crossed my fingers hoping that he was going to respond in a positive way, however, after a few minutes he smiled. That smile really unnerved me because what I had said wasn't in any way funny, it was exactly how I felt."Is this a joke?" he asked. "I don't joke when it comes to matters of the heart," I replied.He got up from his seat and I instantly followed suit. "Please, before you say anything, just know this, all my life I have only cared about one thing and I've been so passionate about it and that's my books. I've always wanted to excel in school and be the best and I'm actually one of the best in my college. I'm a go-getter, I am someone who knows what I want and I go for it. I'm saying this so you understand that I am clear-headed and not confused about anything. This is the first time in my life that I feel this way.

    MIRABELLALucas had just claimed my lips for the second time when his secretary pushed open the door to his office, apparently forgetting to knock.We instantly let go of each other and turned. My cheeks were completely flushed and my heart was beating very fast. Lucas squinted his eyes at his secretary and a look of surprise flashed across her face before she apologized and quickly shut the door behind herWe turned our attention back to each other and Lucas stared at me for a while before saying, "this was a mistake." "No, it wasn't," I argued. "It was my first kiss and it was as amazing as I'd always imagined it will be. I gave you my word that I will leave after the kiss so I'll do just that."He kept staring at me and as I spoke, I picked up his phone from the table while desperately hoping that it was not password protected. I sighed in relief when I successfully opened his dialer and without wasting any time, I typed my number into his phone and dialed it.I took out my phone

    NOVAI sat across from Aiden, staring at him with a feeling of joy. After our classes today, he asked me out to dinner. I asked him about Ella, considering the fact that he had earlier convinced me she wasn't such a bad person. I noticed that she had missed some of her classes, which was unlike her, and he told me she wasn't feeling too well. I thought about getting her number to call and check up on her but realized we weren't at that stage yet. I just wished her well instead. We ate, drank, and talked about a lot of stuff. I got to know more about his family, like the fact that his mom was late. We were similar in that aspect, and I noticed he was more open toward me. This was the third time he had asked me out on a date though but he was yet to make his intentions open before me. Other than being extra nice, he hadn't said anything about his feelings for me so I decided to take matters into my own hands, perhaps he was afraid or needed a nudge. After our date, we noticed it was

    ELLAI woke up late in the morning, having spent the night imagining how my date with Lucas would go. When I was ready for school, I left the house and walked toward where I parked my car. I saw Cameron standing beside my car and laughed. Did he think that I had forgotten what happened the day before? He stretched out his arm, holding my favorite chocolate in it, and said, "I am so sorry about yesterday. Please have this as a peace offering."I stared at the chocolate for a while and smiled. "You are lucky I am in a good mood; otherwise, you would have found your way to school today or let Mom drop you off.""Thank you," he said and got into the car. As usual, I dropped him off at school before going to mine. After my class, I noticed that Nova was staring at me. I smiled at her, and she walked over to where I was sitting and said, "Hi Ella, how are you?" Everyone around us was surprised because they knew how deep our enmity ran."I'm fine," I replied, "thank you very much for aski

  • NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE   THE BEST FEELING

    LUCASAs I watched Ella get into her car and drive off, I smiled happily to myself. Tonight went really well, better than I had expected. I knew I had fallen too; I had fallen for her. She was such a sweet girl, full of life and so adorable. She had no idea how much effort it took for me to hold back tonight. I was actually looking for common ground between us; something fun we could do together. I could not remember the last time I went swimming though; it wasn't really a hobby for me. It was something I probably did once in two years but it was an opportunity to spend time with her, so when I heard her say that swimming was her hobby, I instantly took advantage of the opportunity and told her it was mine too. With that, I was able to arrange another date. This time, we will meet as a couple and I was so badly looking forward to it. As I drove back home, I kept thinking about how I was going to tell my daughter, Nova that I was now in a relationship. Since we were both open to

    ELLAI watched Lucas silently as he said to Nova, "Let me talk to you later, darling. Yes, I wanted to tell you at the right time. I'll introduce you to her, soon."I knew Lucas was talking about me and when he ended the call and came back to meet me by the pool, he cupped my cheeks and asked, "What happened? Why is your face suddenly so pale? Please tell me, my love."I sighed, "Actually, Lucas, I haven't been completely honest with you.""What have you hidden from me?" he asked.I stared at him for a while. I was looking into his eyes but I couldn't read what was there. In the end, I decided not to say everything. I didn't know how Lucas would react if I told him the truth and I'd be devastated if I lost him."I already know your daughter," I said to him. "After I fell for you, I did a little digging, and with both your last names similar, I was able to find out that Nova, who is in the same class as I am, is your daughter.""Really? he asked.I nodded."Do you have a good relations

    Paige stared at the people in the audience, observing the different expressions on their faces. Some felt pity for her, some laughed at her, while others booed and gestured with their thumbs down. As tears streamed down her face, the other girls continued to sing, and no one waited for her. After Candy; the fourth person, finished singing, the first girl resumed. Paige's microphone had already been rolled away from where she stood. Unable to bear the shame any longer, she turned around and ran away from the stage. Candy smiled, feeling victorious, and said inwardly, "Now let me see how you will be among the top two."Paige did not stop running until she reached outside. Fearing that people might notice her and start pointing fingers at her, she searched for a quiet and hidden spot, finding solace leaning on a pillar. She covered her face with her hands and continued to cry, recalling how she had assured Mr. Zachary that she would not fail him. She felt even more disappointed in her

    For Paige, everything seemed to be happening so fast. Just this morning, she was being called a thief and kicked out of her house. And now, she was going to be performing on a show tonight. She pinched herself to be sure she wasn't dreaming, and Jessica, who was staring at her, smiled, "Come on, let's go change your wardrobe.""Thank you very much, Sir," Paige said, wiping the joyous tears which had formed in her eyes."Don't worry about that. Just get ready to perform." Zach said.As Paige walked out, Zach stared at her, recalling his old days. His story seemed similar to hers as he had also been given a chance by someone he never expected. While they went shopping, Jessica asked Paige, "Are you related to Mr. Zach? I mean, he did say you're someone who belonged to him."Paige didn't know Jessica's relationship with Zach, so she didn't want to speak too much. She only said, "He's just helping me.""Come on, Mr. Zach doesn't help people just like that. I mean, everyone knows who he i

    Paige sang for Zachary while he stood in awe, mesmerized by her performance. As she sang, she became so immersed that she closed her eyes and continued to pour her heart out. Zachary walked over to the bed, sat down, and kept his gaze fixed on her. When she finished singing, he exclaimed, "Wow! That was phenomenal.""Thank you, sir," Paige replied with a smile."I'm curious, how did you become such a talented singer? Don't worry, you can share it with me," he added, noticing her hesitation.Paige sighed and began her story, "Well, my mom was a gifted singer too. When she was young, her dream was to become a pop artist and her voice was perfect. However, her father, who was a billionaire, wanted her to take over the family business instead since she was his only child. She had to make a difficult choice between her passion and her responsibilities. Eventually, she took over my grandfather's company: Blanco Industries, but she never gave up singing. She recorded songs for herself but

    "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir," Paige said. "Please, I want to ask for a favor.""What is it?" Zach asked."I will like to see you, please." She replied.Zach stared at all the men who were sitting in front of him and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."Getting up, he continued, "I think we've pretty much said everything that needed to be said at this meeting. I approve of your findings and now, I need implementation and results. Excuse me."After leaving the meeting room, Zach said to Luke, "Let's go back to the hospital."His assistant was surprised; Zach wasn't acting like himself. No one knew why he was being so kind and accommodating towards this girl. When they arrived at the hospital, he went in to see her. The moment Zach entered the room, Paige jumped off the bed in surprise and stared at him as her hands began to tremble. She instantly recognized him and who wouldn't? He was one of the wealthiest men in London and everyone said he was very ruthless. How could it be that thi

Nestled in a picturesque location; Zach Estate, Mayfair was one of the most luxurious estates in London. His domestic staff lavished Zach with greetings but he merely nodded curtly and approached his Bugatti without noticing that his housekeeper and chef were staring at him longingly through the windows. His chauffeur, Tony, quickly ran and opened the back of his car, and after Zach sat down, Tony got into the front and began driving to Zachary Fletcher Conglomerate. On his way to the company, Zach made a phone call to his assistant, Luke, and asked, "Are you at the office?""Yes, sir," Luke replied."Good," Zach said and hung up.The moment he stepped out of his car, he began to make his way into the iconic skyscraper building.

Ella wouldn't understand how I was feeling, and to be honest, I regretted reconciling her with my dad. Her parents were together, and if I were in her shoes and trying to come between her mother and father, she would have made a big deal out of it and probably let the whole world know about it. So she ought to understand that I wanted my family to be together.I'd seen my dad suffer for years, from when I was a child to when I grew up and understood what was happening. He had mourned the loss of my mom for such a long time. Now that she was back, they had to rekindle whatever they had in the past, and probably he would get married to her, and we'd be one big family. This was what I wanted, but Ella wanted to ruin it.

    ELLAAfter listening to Nova's mother's phone conversation, I quickly ran to my car and drove out of the compound. I didn't know if she heard me drive out or if she realized that I had eavesdropped on her conversation, but one thing was sure: I needed to do something fast. I went to school and saw Nova. I stared at her, and it occurred to me to tell her about what I had heard, but then I changed my mind. There was no way she would take me seriously, considering the fact that she rolled her eyes at me when I looked at her, and she completely ignored me. When Aiden saw our interactions, he walked up to me and asked, "Are you and Nova fighting or something?" I shook my head, "No, we're cool. Thanks, Aiden." After that, I focused on what I had to do in school. Then after school, I left.I first went to a bar, which was strange, because I went alone. I had a bottle of alcohol. I needed it somehow; it was going to boost my morale for what I wanted to do. After drinking, I drove straigh
