The driver drove off, the silence between us in the car was palpable, my eyes red while they all stared at me wanting me to talk but I kept quiet, my mind reeling from how they all managed to ruin me, as we reached the house i stepped out of the car, I walked slowly till I reached the mansion, the maid wanted to greet my but Louis who knew my temper gestured for her to keep shut, I slowly walked inside without a word, the next sound they head was me smashing things, the sound of my Mirror that I broke , my frame which i broke, my make up table mirror which I broke, bloods on my two hands,dropping on the floor like a wet cloth.“Mirabel.. Listen …” Victoria screamed as she wanted to come close to me.“Stop…” she said to her her eyes red from anger “Nobody should come close to me” she said my hands up telling them to go away.But Victoria wouldn't listen."I said stay back, all of you!" She yelled, my voice echoing through the hallway as she continued to smash glasses in her room. The s
— Secrets Victoria stood still, shocked by what she just heard.“Damn…” Raymond said and shook his head, Ryan walked towards Vivian, they slowly walked towards Raymond.“Aliana killed Mirabel's parent?” She asked Ryan nodded “But listen, we are going to keep this a secret until get a good evidence, we cant just slander her like that” “That isn't called slander, you haven't said such a thing before” she saidRaymond nodded gravely. "We found out about this two days ago, and again, we can't tell Mirabel just yet. With everything she's going through, she can't know, not even now, I don't want her to get hurt anymore."Victoria's eyes remained wide with shock, her face pale. She didn't say a word, just wiped her face and tried to compose herself, attempting to appear tough. She walked back into the mansion, her gaze drifting back to Ryan and Raymond, trying to process the bombshell they had just dropped.As she entered the living room, she realised Louis was no longer there. She glance
Just After their discussion, Georgina and Albert walked out of the company, she slid into a black sleek long car, and Ryan was the one inside.“How is it going?” He asked his voice barely above a whisperGeorgina nodded “It's successfully done and I am in” she said Ryan nodded and gestured for the driver to drive off.Just as they reached Raymond's lavish mansion, full of maids and security, he walked straight to Raymond's office which was also in the mansion.“Boss, Georgina is back” he said, just as Georgina entered his office.Georgina's eyes darted to Mirabel, who lay on the couch near Raymond's chair, covered with a blanket. "What's wrong with her?" Georgina asked, concern etched on her face.Raymond gestured for her to continue speaking. "Please continue, She's just not feeling well," he said.Georgina's eyes locked onto Raymond. "Is there something you guys aren't telling me?"Raymond's expression turned serious. "She was cheated by John's family. Everything just went rough fo
MIRABEL POVRaymond nodded, while Ryan folded his arm to his chest.“Seriously?” Georgina asked “Do you even need to ask? I have been manipulated privately and publicly, I can't even walk alone, the presses are all over everywhere looking for me” I said my voice low and but firmGeorgina nodded “So what's your plan?” She asked I gazed at Raymond, but he was just staring at me with a sly smile.“Why the smile Raymond?” I asked “Raymond” Georgina asked I nodded “Yeah Raymond,a lot of things happened while you were away but now that you are back just live with it dont ask questions, by the way thanks for everything in the wardrobe, I really appreciate” I said my face appreciative“Nah.. that face doesn't suit you right now, we know you are forcing smiles” Georgina said I smirked and turned my gaze at Raymond “I miss my friends” I said Raymond nodded and gestured for Ryan to do something, but I didn't know what it was.He turned to Georgina, his gaze still fixed on the documents he
—-Just as we were talking Raymond's uncle spoke up “So you broke your engagement?” He asked. Everywhere went silent for a while, at first I was lost about who he was talking about. Turns out it was Raymond.“Davin…” Raymond's mom “Mrs Patricia said “No Aunty, don't shut me up, let me talk” he said I glared at Ryan, who gave me a signal look, and I lost my appetite. But I couldn't drop my cutleries in front of Raymond's family. Mr. Kian, Ryan's father, spoke up, his gaze on Davin. "You should have known better when and where to talk and not to talk, do you not think?."His voice was low and firm, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. Then, he turned his gaze to me. "I am sorry for his rudeness," Mr. Kian apologized."It's fine, sir..." I said, trying to brush it off.As we continued eating, Davin gestured to his guards, who showed everyone a picture of me with John, holding a baby in my arms. The whole family murmured, and Raymond's younger sister Lily showed Raymond the phone. He
—-After the passionate evening, Mirabel slept off naked, exhausted but content. Raymond covered her with blankets, making sure she was comfortable, and then headed to the dining room.As he entered, he was surprised to see Victoria, Louis, still there, chatting and laughing. "Victoria, you two are still around?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.Louis nodded, "I think I'm starting to love this place more than our own mansion."Raymond chuckled and asked, "Where's Ryan?"Just then, Ryan walked in, his stomach growling. "I'm famished!" he exclaimed, but then he saw Victoria and his expression changed.He sat down beside Raymond, and Victoria asked, "Where's Mirabel?"Raymond replied, "She's asleep."Louis commented, "So fast?" but Raymond just smiled knowingly.Victoria suddenly stood up, looking pale, and rushed to the toilet. Ryan was shocked, his hands still holding the plate. "What's wrong?" he asked, but Louis just chuckled and followed Victoria to the toilet.Raymond stood up, concer
—-Raymond was about to speak when his phone vibrated, Georgina's name popped on it, he picked it and placed it on the table.JOHN'S OFFICEJohn stood up and introduced Georgina “She is Georgina, our newest shareholder” he said, Georgina smiled as everyone began to introduce themselves, the door suddenly flung open.John stood at the head of the long oak table, his fingers tapping impatiently against the smooth surface. He’d been in enough board meetings for the past few weeks and he is exhausted of sudden meetings.The tension in the air was suffocating, made worse by the uncomfortable silence after his question to Annie."What are you doing here?" John asked, his voice carrying a hint of frustration. He tried to keep his tone measured, but he was on edge.Annie, who had quietly slipped into the room, looked almost fragile standing there with something in her hands. Her hair was slightly disheveled from the wind outside, and her face wore an expression of calm determination. As John’s
MIRABEL POV Raymond picked up his phone and called his doctor, I couldn't hear the other side of the line but I know that the doctor can be trusted.“Mirabel..” Raymond called out to me his voice barely above a whisper, I turned my gaze at him.He checked his time “its already late, this is past 5 and we should head home, The DNA will done tomorrow if you have Nina's cup that are still unwashed, her hair comb things like that.I tried to remember if I have something like that but then I remembered that I have her comb. “I have her comb” I said my voice barely above a whisper.Raymond nodded and picked up his car key, he handed if over to Ryan and only that says a lot. He gestured for my hand and we slowly walked outside the company, a lot of workers going home happily, I slid into the car and the driver drove off.As we reached the mansion, Louis was taking care of the garden “Why are you doing this?” Ryan asked“I want to help” she said with a warm smile and turned her gaze at me “
