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
“I am fine” I said my voice barely above a whisper.It was around 5 pm, and I was getting bored and tired. John had been running around all day, attending to countless people and tasks. I was about to drift off to sleep when John called me over, his voice urgent."Hey babe, I need your help with something its work related though," he said, his eyes pleading.I raised an eyebrow, my voice low and firm. "I don't know anything about this work, John. I'm not exactly qualified to be the one for this, just pick one of your workers for it."John sighed, his expression frazzled. "Help me just this once, please? My personal assistant isn't feeling well, so I excused her. I need someone to talk to this potential client about a project."I glared at him, incredulous. "You expect me to interact with your clients? I don't even know the basics of office work, John. I've never done this before."John shrugged, his eyes locked on mine. "Just pretend, okay? You'll be fine. Just smile, nod, and agree w
