John, on the other hand, stood frozen, his face paling with each word Carina spat out. He’d counted on Carina’s power to protect him from the fallout of losing Nina, but now it seemed as though he’d lost his shield. Worse, Mirabel had gone for his jugular by taking out the very person who had given him the edge in the custody battle.He shook his head, finally breaking his silence. “You... you can fix this, right? You’re Carina. One of the most powerful lawyers in the country!” There was desperation in his voice, a hope clinging to the wreckage of his plans.Carina shook her head bitterly, a dry laugh escaping her lips. “There’s no fixing this. Mirabel’s made sure of that. She’s made me pay, and she’s not even in the country. God knows what else she has planned.”Annie’s mind raced. If Mirabel could dismantle someone as powerful as Carina from afar, what else could she do? Who would be next? Carina stormed out of the room, her heels clicking sharply against the floor as her breath ca
“You will survive Diana” John said to her.She smiled and nodded, just as they were talking Aliana and the other walked in.But she asked Aliana and Andrew to go, she only wants to speak with Annie and Emma for now.Emma and Annie entered and they sat at the edge of the hospital bed.Emma stood beside the hospital bed, her heart pounding in her chest, the cold air of the room making her skin prickle. Her mother, Diana, lay frail and weak, her once vibrant face now pale and ashen. She looked smaller than Emma had ever seen her, as if life itself was slipping away with each labored breath. Diana's hand, trembling and fragile, reached up to gently touch Emma's cheek. It was a familiar touch, one that had comforted her for as long as she could remember, but now it felt different—fragile, fleeting.“Emma darling…” Diana’s voice was barely above a whisper, soft and raspy, the sound of it breaking Emma’s heart even more. “Mom I am here…” Emma replied, her voice thick with the emotion she fo
“John, you aren't making progress in this company, everything is going down the drain,with everything happening I think we will have to remove you” one of the board member said Georgina leaned back on her chair, her expression stern and quiet.“You know you cant that” John said “And why is that?” She asked “This is my company, I built this company” he said “Have you forgotten that it's not only yours? You don't get to decide alone in this company, my decision is what's best for the company and our clients” Mrs Ava said “Relax, I am going to sort everything out” John said “There is absolutely nothing to solve, you just have to step down, Mr chuks has never turned down our proposal but now he has been rejecting it” Mrs Ava said “I know Mr Chuks is out biggest client in Italy, but I am so sorry, him rejecting our proposals wasn't my fault, have the workers do something about it, maybe they didn't propose it well to him” John said Mrs Ava shook her head “Mr Chuks told us that the
~Everyone was happy that Georgina wasn't on his side, Mrs Ava spoke up.“We have decided to make Mrs Georgina the head now” she said and turned to John “Come back when you are in your right senses” she said and clapped for Georgina.Georgina smiled, bowing for them, she kept smiling her teeth out she gazed at Annie and smiled at her.“It's alright” she said as she stopped them.The room had fallen eerily silent. A sense of unease crawled over the crowd as Georgina's voice cut through the quiet like a razor-sharp blade. "I am afraid you are cheering for the wrong person,I am not the one you people should cheer for" she said, her voice low yet commanding. The air in the conference room thickened with tension. Faces once lit with admiration for John now turned to Georgina, eyes narrowing, trying to understand what had just happened.The applause died. John’s confident smile wavered, confusion clouding his features. As he opened his mouth to say something, the door behind him swung open
It was around past 7 in the night, Mirabel stayed at the lodge because she doesnt know she would interact with Louis and the rest yet. Just as she slept off, Kate just decided to check on her in the room because she left her food on the table, as she touched her, she noticed that she was burning up.“Ma'am” Kate said as she began to tap herMirabel woke up slowly “I am not dead yet relax, I would finish my revenge before I die” she said her voice shaking and low.Kate smirked “here is a drug, I bought this incase of emergencies like this” she said and handed her a drug.Mirabel trusted Kate so much so she used the drug and slept off.9 AM IN THE MORNINGKate decided not to wake her up but she brought her the lotha she would wear, she placed them on the couch as she turned to leave Mirabel called her.“I am awake” she said and Kate stopped in her tracks.“Good morning ma'am” Kate said Mirabel nodded “Let's go to Raymond” she said and walked into the bathroom, after she finished her b
And after the joyful night,they all drifted off to sleep.8AM IN THE MORNING.Raymond woke up but he didnt to disturb her so Kate told him about her schedule and he woke her up. Mirabel walked into the bathtube and she took her bath, fews minutes later she came out and she dressed. She walked into the grand living room and saw Kate, she had already been waiting for her.“Where are you going? What are your plans for today?” Raymond askedMirabel smiled “I am going to visit John and his family, I have to personally announce my arrival to them, I bet they would be so shock by now” she said Raymond nodded “Be careful, I have something to tell you if you are back” he said “What is it about? Can't you just tell me now? I am always eager when it comes to something like this” she said Raymond smirked “Its something we need to sit and talk about” Mirabel nodded and slid into the car and they drove off to John's mansion.---As the black SUV rolled up the winding drive to John's mansion, th
---Aliana stormed out of the living room, her heels striking the marble floor with a sharp staccato rhythm as she marched toward the hallway that led to her room. Her face was twisted in anger, her mind consumed by the sudden return of Mirabel and the unexpected chaos she had brought with her. The very sight of her standing in that living room, alive and full of confidence, had shaken Aliana to her core. She had been so certain Mirabel was out of the picture, so sure that the past she’d buried would remain there hidden.But now, everything was unraveling.Slamming the door behind her, Aliana entered her bedroom, her hands trembling as she locked it. She leaned against the heavy oak door for a moment, closing her eyes and trying to steady her breathing. Her heart was pounding in her chest, adrenaline coursing through her veins. She had worked so hard to keep everything under control, to maintain the facade of the perfect life she had built with Andrew. And now, in a single night, Mira
As Emma reached the hotel, she texted Annie and told her she was at the hotel but Annie said it out in the house, a secret that was meant to be kept.“Why would Emma go to a hotel?” She asked her gaze on Aliana and Andrew “Really?” Aliana asked Annie nodded, Aliana now realized that Emma was the one who was standing at the entrance of her room, she smiled and turned her gaze at Annie “Which hotel is she staying at? We have to go check on her and ask her why she is staying in there” Aliana said, but before Annie could speak up, the maid broke a plate, Annie got furious and rushed over to her questioning her why would break a plate. Aliana rolled her eyes in anger, she just needed few seconds. Annie was about to open us but the maid messed things up.Annie walked back into the living room so she could finish what she started with Aliana but her phone beeped again.“Do not tell anybody it's for our safety”.Annie's eyes widened and immediately, she stood up and walked into her room, s
