—-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
—JOHN'S MANSION “Where is Nina?” She asked, just as Aliana was about to respond, Annie walked downstairs with Nina in her arms“This poor kid will grow to see you as her mom, is that what you wanted” Diana asked in anger “She has no choice, if she grows up we will tell her how life works” Annie said with a sly smile on her face “We control everything that happened so do not blame life on anything here” Aliana intervened Diana walked towards Annie and gestured for Nina to come to her. Nina had been trying to walk and talk but she recognized Diana.“Why? What's the problem?” Annie asked “Can she not carry her?” Aliana replied in anger.Annie's voice trembled with concern. "I'm not saying Diana can't take care of Nina, but I need to know why and where she's taking her. John already planned to give her back to Robert."Aliana's eyes widened in amusement, as if she'd heard a joke. Diana's gaze snapped towards Annie, her brow furrowed. "What did you just say?" she asked, her tone fir
Annie chuckled silently, and then it increased, Emma stepped back wondering why she was laughing after she just threatened her.“You think that would scare me? Grown up Emma, Mirabel managed to fool John so why cant I? You don't even have an evidence to back up your false accusations, so you want me to shake? I should be afraid of you? I have evidences to back yours up whenever I am ready to tell the whole house the truth I can just bring out my phone and show them the video, it's that simple” she saidEmma nodded knowing that Annie was right.“Fine, what do you need me to do?” She asked Annie smirked “Good, now you know what's the best option for you”Emma nodded “Tell me what I need to do, let's get this over with” she said angrily Annie smirked “POISON NINA” she said without hesitation and she smirkedEmma’s hands trembled as she walked away from Annie’s cruel smirk. The night air outside was suffocating, but the dread in her heart was worse. Poison Nina? The words echoed in her
