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 “
MIRABEL POVI sat at the dining with Raymond and Ryan watching my friends ignore me because of the decision I made, Raymond suddenly spoke up“We need Nina's comb to ensure that the DNA is done, and whatever the results, you should accept the consequences” he said I nodded “There is no other way round to do this,I have to contact Diana, she is a mother, if I apologize to her she will let me in so I can pick her hair comb” I said Ryan leaned in “So you think she will allow you?” He asked Just as I was about to speak up Louis came in “Well I am going to help you” she said and collapsed on the chair behind us, like she was tired and forced to help me.“Why? Feeling guilty?” She asked me because I was staring at her I chuckled “Why would I?” She nodded “Go on please what's the plan?” She asked “I am going to contact Diana, I will invite her for a dream and ask her a favor, she is a mother she should be able to help me” I explained.They all nodded “But what if she doesn't?” Louis s
MIRABEL POVDiana chuckled hard “Oh my goodness, now you want to make a deal with me? The Mirabel I know wouldn't do this, now you are doing this because of your daughter?” She asked I leaned back on the chair and folded my arms to my chest “Diana, I am not here to joke around, she is my daughter and I am willing to do anything for her sake, you people are playing around with me and I don't like that,our fight shouldn't include this poor kids” I said She nodded..I sat across from her, my hands resting lightly on the edge of the table. The tension in the room was palpable, thick enough to choke on. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, never left mine. She was waiting for me to speak, but I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of rushing. Instead, I let the silence linger, watching as she shifted uncomfortably, though she tried to maintain her composure."I am also not here to joke around,either" she finally broke the silence, her voice cold but confident. "I was happy when you call
