I suddenly woke up when I heard the scream of Aliana. I slowly walked down the bed because I wasnt feeling too well either. John rushed out so he could help them.As i walked downstairs my water suddenly broke, everyone gazed at me.John was lost and didnt know what to do, he rushed towards me and held me very tight.As we pulled up to the hospital, Andrew turned to John and asked, "Which way dad?"John waved his hand towards the car park direction and replied, "My hospital, Diana get the car keys." He yelled.I was sitting in the same car with Aliana, and we exchanged a nervous glance.When we arrived at the hospital, we were greeted by a team of medical professionals who led us to a large room filled with various exercise equipment. We were asked to run and perform a few exercises, which seemed strange to me. I couldn't understand why we were being put through this.Few hours later, I woke up to the sound of gentle beeping and the soft glow of hospital lights. As I slowly opened my
As I reached the mansion, I could feel the air and smell of the garden and all that. I missed home, I stepped out from. Garden after John carried the child gently from my arms.I realised Diana did not even Congratulate or wish me but never mind it’s not part of my concern.As we stepped into the grand mansion, the maids couldn't hide their excitement, beaming with warm smiles at the sight of our newborn daughter. But I was cautious, my maternal instincts on high alert. I didn't allow John to hand our child over to anyone, not even the eager maids. Instead, I walked upstairs with him, he was cradling in his arms.Once we reached our lavish bedroom, John stood by my side on the bed, his eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you for giving me such a beautiful girl," he said, his voice filled with emotion. I smiled, my heart swelling with love for my daughter and my husband."Even if it's a girl, you don't mind?" I asked, looking up at John with a hint of concern. In our social circle, hav
As I was about to walk upstairs with the fruits I wanted to give to John, she then stopped me.“Congratulations Mirabel” she said smiling, I knew it was a fake one. “I was so happy at the hospital that i didnt even get to Congratulate you on your baby girl” she added.I smirked and continued walking to avoid drama.“Your baby girl doesn’t have a spot in this mansion, hurry and give birth to a baby boy if you dont want John’s properties shared away. As you can see I have a boy, John is my child’s grandfather, he can choose to give everything to him” he said.I chuckled.“Are you this desperate?” I asked.Bella walked in at the right time so, Aliana handed her son over to her. “Go inside with Ethan” She ordered. Then her gaze focused on me in anger and desperation.I turned back to her.“Desperate?” she said “You call me desperate? Andrew is old enough now and he is the only son of his father, John never believed in Andrew to help him manage his properties, he does everything on his own
I walked back upstairs, my mind still reeling from the conversation with the conversation I had with Aliana. But as I reached the top of the stairs, I was met with a sense of urgency. Aliana and Andrew rushed out of their room, looking frantic, which made John also rushed out of his room.“What is going on?” John asked looking so furious and concerned."His temperature is spiking," Aliana screamed, her voice trembling with worry. "We need to get him to the hospital, now."I felt a surge of concern as I saw the fear in Aliana's eyes. She was trying to hold back tears, but I could see the panic rising to the surface.Andrew was already on the phone, calling for an ambulance. "We need to get him to the hospital, now," he repeated, his voice firm but laced with worry.I felt sorry for Aliana as she began to shed tears. She was trying to be strong, but the fear for her son's health was overwhelming her. I wanted to comfort her, but there was nothing I could do.The next few minutes were a
MIRABEL POVAs I drove away from the hospital, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered within me. John's words kept echoing in my mind, "why does your blood match so much with Aliana’s child." But I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the fact that I had just saved an innocent baby’s life.I thought about the child, so small and helpless, and my heart swelled with compassion. I had done it for the child, not for Aliana and Andrew, who had betrayed me in the worst possible way.As I drove, the city lights blurring together, I felt a sense of detachment wash over me. I was erasing everything that had happened today, compartmentalizing it in a corner of my mind.But the memory of Aliana's face, panicked and worried, kept flashing before my eyes. I wondered what she was thinking, if she had any idea what I had just done for her.I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the road ahead. I had done what needed to be done, and now it was time to move on.As I drove, the si
MIRABEL POV“Babe...” i said as I gazed at John. "Dont you think it's now the right time for you to give Andrew his own mansion so he can stay in?" I said, my eyes fixed on John's, searching for a glimmer of understanding.John smiled, his expression unreadable. "Why is that? Do you not like it this way?" he asked, his voice laced with a hint of amusement.I cleared my throat, choosing my words carefully. "It's just that Andrew is now a father now, he needs to build his own family, and I think it's time he had his own space. A place where he and his family can be”.John raised an eyebrow, his smile faltering for a moment. "Isnt he doing well here?" he asked, his tone tinged with defensiveness.I took a deep breath, trying to tread carefully. "No, John, that's not what I mean, dont you get where I am coming from?”.John leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together. "I see," he said, his voice measured.“Do not think that your son is suffocating me, he is not. I am just tryi
I slowly walked into the room in sadness and frustration, as I gently opened the door I saw Nina wrapped in John’s arms, they were both sleeping peacefully and quietly.I covered their body with a blanket and I walked towards the window, gazing at the moon.“It’s a beautiful night tonight” I said my voice barely above a whisper. I looked back at John and Nina, I smiled.As I lay beside Nina, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I had thought that finding a family and coming back to John would bring me happiness, but now it seemed like problems were all I had. I hugged Nina tightly, feeling a sense of protectiveness wash over me.I wondered if I was even deserving of happiness. Have I made enough mistakes in my past? Or are there somethings I need to know about family? Didn't I have enough baggage to last a lifetime? But as I looked at Nina and John, I knew that I would do anything to protect them, to make them happy.Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I thought about
MIRABEL POVAfter I finished dressing, Louis carried Nina in her arms which made it very easier for me.As we walked down I saw Andrew, but I knew he had something in mind to say.“Mirabel” he said, his voice barely above a whisperI sighed and stopped..“Louis, head into the car”.Louis went ahead and stepped into the car while Andrew walked up to me“Anything important to tell me?” I asked my eyes locked on hisHe smirked."I haven't talked to you in a while," he said with a smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners.I stood still for a while, wondering what Andrew was pulling off again. But then again I knew we had a history of complicated relationship and unfinished business."What's this about?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Andrew's smile faltered for a moment before he regained his composure. "I've been thinking a lot about us," he said, his voice low and husky. "About what happened between us."I felt a shiver run down my spine as memories flooded my mind, but then
As I slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the fog of sleep, a gentle sense of peace settled over me. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt like myself again. The weakness that had gripped my body was finally gone. The endless days of pain and uncertainty had melted away like a bad dream. I inhaled deeply, savoring the feeling of strength and renewal coursing through my veins. The air tasted sweeter, the light filtering through the curtains seemed warmer. I had come back to life, and it was a beautiful morning.The door to my room creaked open softly, and I turned my head to see Raymond standing in the doorway. His face lit up as soon as our eyes met, his expression a mixture of relief and love that made my heart ache with emotion. He rushed over to my side, kneeling by the bed and taking my hands in his, holding them as if I were the most precious thing in the world."You're awake," he breathed, his voice thick with emotion. "You're really awake."I smiled, squeezing hi
Reports coming everywhere told us that Aliana was on her way to the airport. We rushed there but then I couldn't take it anymore. I told Ryan to stop the car, and the other convoy also stopped.“Kate, come with me” I said and we walked into one of the cars, the body guards stepped down and joined the third car.“Mirabel what on earth are you doing?” Raymond yelled at me “Kate knows how to drive, let's split into three, I will face her at the other side of the road” I said and Kate drove off immediately.As we continued driving, the road grew busier, and I kept a close eye on Ryan's car. "What's the color of her car?" I asked him, my voice firm and focused."Its black," he replied, rattling off the license plate number.Just then, Aliana took a wrong turn, unaware of our presence. She saw my car approaching and tried to turn back, but it was too late. Raymond's car blocked her path, trapping her. I leapt out of the car, sprinting towards her with Kate close behind."Let go of Ethan,
MIRABELThe day had been long and exhausting, but the weight of uncertainty had kept me awake. Ethan's DNA test had been the final thread holding together years of questions, doubts, and sleepless nights. I had to know if he was truly mine, if the child I had always wondered about had been in my arms all along.I walked out of the room. My heart was pounding, the paper heavy with the truth I had been searching for. The hallway felt endless as I made my way toward Raymond, who was standing at the edge of the room, his eyes full of concern. Ryan, Louis, and Victoria sat nearby, their faces reflecting the same worry that had been haunting all of us."I did a DNA test on Ethan," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Raymond straightened up, his eyes locking onto mine. The room fell into an eerie silence as everyone stood up,their gaze on me"How did it turn out?" Ryan asked, his voice hesitant, as if he was bracing himself for the worst.I swallowed hard, the words caught in my throat.
As the last wisps of Emma's life slipped away, Annie's own vitality began to wane. The relentless pursuit of vengeance, the endless cycle of pain and anger, had finally taken its toll. She felt the weight of her exhaustion, the crushing burden of her grief, and knew she could fight no more. She knew she didn't have to fight for anything anymore, John was already down, he had lost his company, and a lot of people.With a heavy heart, Annie bid farewell to the opulent halls of John's mansion, leaving behind the only life she had known for so long. She turned her back on the memories, both bitter and sweet, and walked away from the two people who had become her unlikely family Andrew and little Ethan.As she disappeared into the horizon, Annie sought a fresh start, a new dawn where the shadows of her past wouldn't haunt her. She yearned for a place to heal, to rediscover herself, and to find solace in the quiet rhythms of an ordinary life.The wind whispered secrets in her ear, of a tomo
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
---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
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
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
~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
