I slept off in Nina’s room, Louis went back to her room. It was around 8am in the morning when the door sound woke me up, it was Louis.“Good morning ma’am” she said, her voice above a whisper because she doesn’t want to wake Nina up.I nodded and smiled at her, leaving Nina in her care.As I walked down the hallway to the kitchen, I found Emma cooking. I walked int the kitchen expecting her to say hi good morning but instead she ignored meI smiled, do I even have to start proving myself to them? I said to myself.I walked out of kitchen and went back upstairs but to my surprise John wasnt in the room, he left for work very early he didnt eve try to write me a letter down or even a text.“Ma’am” Louis said as she entered into the room, I gazed her without saying a word “What do you want me to cook for you?” she asked.“What do you feel like eating?” I askedShe smiled “No ma’am just tell me what you want to I can start cooking for you” she said with a smile on face.“Never mind”“H
(KNOCK ON THE DOOR)Victoria rushed to open the door she was so happy to see me.“Hey... My baby” she said and grabbed Nina from my hands“Wont you even say hi to me, you only said hi to Nina” I said my voice low and firm.I could smell something coming from the kitchen, I slowly walked toward the kitchen and saw Victoria cooking my favourite dish.As I walked into the kitchen, I was enveloped in the heavenly aroma of my favorite dish, expertly cooked by Victoria. The scent of tender chicken, fragrant herbs, and rich tomato sauce wafted through the air, teasing my senses and making my stomach growl with anticipation."Geezer do you know that I was coming? Victoria, you're cooking my favorite!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening with delight.Victoria smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "I missed you which is why I cooked your dish today, I didn’t even expect you to show up”.I couldn't help but salivate as she presented me with a steaming plate, the golden-brown chicken topped with a g
(Back in the mansion)John just came back from work as he reached the entrance of the mansion he was stopped by Aliana and Diana. They both kept mute gazing at John trying to cause a scene.“What’s the matter?” he asked"Mirabel left," Aliana said, her voice dripping with deceit and pretense.John's expression changed from calm to confused. "What do you mean she left? Where would she go?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.Diana jumped in, her voice eager to fuel the fire. "She packed her bags and left, John. It was a young man who came to pick her up. She also carried Nina with her."Aliana and Diana exchanged a knowing glance, both aware they were spinning a web of lies. But they didn't care; their goal was to drive a wedge between John and Mirabel.John's eyes widened in shock. "What? Why would she do that?"Aliana shrugged, feigning innocence. "We don't know, John. But it's clear she followed another man"Diana nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's like she didn't even care about y
As they arrived at the real estate management company, Mirabel and Victoria were greeted with warm smiles by the receptionist. "Welcome, ladies! Please, have a seat and make yourselves comfortable."They sat down in the plush chairs, surrounded by sleek modern decor and the soothing sound of instrumental music. A friendly agent, dressed in a crisp suit, approached them with a thick book."Good morning, ladies! I'm Agent Roy. I'll be assisting you today. Please, take a look at our catalog and select a house that suits your taste and preferences."Mirabel's eyes widened as she flipped through the pages, filled with stunning images of luxurious homes. Victoria leaned in, her eyes scanning the pages with equal excitement."Wow, these are incredible!" Victoria exclaimed. "I love the modern architecture and the spacious interiors."Mirabel nodded in agreement. "And the locations! They're all in prime areas, close to amenities and public transportation."As they browsed through the book, Age
Louis gave Nina something to drink and she went back to sleep immediately.“Now, I hope you two will stop laughing” Louis said and walked back into her room.Back in John’s mansionJohn missed the presence of Mirabel and his daughter Nina, he began to wander around the gardenJohn wandered aimlessly through the garden, his mind consumed by memories of Mirabel and Nina. He missed their presence dearly, and regret washed over him like a wave. Why hadn't he listened to Mirabel's needs?As he turned a corner, he stumbled upon a bench and sat down, lost in thought. The sound of footsteps broke the silence, and John looked up to see Andrew, his son, stumbling towards him."Hey Dad," Andrew slurred, his body reeking of alcohol.John's face fell, disappointment etched on his features. "Andrew, what's going on? Why are you like this?" He askedAndrew collapsed onto the bench beside John, his eyes glassy. "I don't know, Dad. It just feels great drinking and smoking."Diana and Aliana, who had b
MIRABEL POVAs I stood in front of my home window, the darkness outside mirrored the turmoil brewing within me. It was 8pm, and the world around me seemed to be at peace - my friends were asleep, my baby was asleep, but my mind was wide awake, racing with thoughts of strategy and survival.I gazed out into the night, my eyes tracing the shadows that danced across the lawn. My enemies thought they had the upper hand, but I knew the truth - I was the one with the power. I just needed to figure out how to harness it.My thoughts were a jumble of emotions and calculations, as I weighed my options and considered every possible move. I knew that one misstep could lead to disaster, but I also knew that I couldn't afford to back down. What was rightfully mine was within reach, and I was determined to claim it.I took a deep breath.And when the time was right, I would strike. I would take back what was rightfully mine, and I would emerge victorious.The darkness outside seemed to press in aro
John, the patriarch of the family, sat at the head of the table, a warm smile on his face as he surveyed the gathering before him. His son, Andrew, sat to his right, his wife Aliana by his side. Across from them, John's ex-wife Diana chatting with her daughter Emma they seemed to have forgotten the incident that happened last night, everyone dug in.John closed his eyes, savoring the flavors and textures of the dish. "Mmm, this is amazing," he said, opening his eyes to smile at the maid Annie of the cook. "You're an incredible cook."Annie blushed, looking pleased. "Thanks, boss. I'm glad you all like it."“He is the only one that loved, I never gave a comment yet” Aliana said in anger “And by the way you are done serving us why not give us some breathing space” she added again.Diana, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "I'm surprised you're not serving your famous chicken parmesan, John. That's always been my favorite."John gazed at Diana with no expression. "You can have the m
Andrew smirked, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing from a mere maid.“You must be joking right?” he asked his voice filled with anger and fear.Annie gazed at Andrew“Do I look like I am?” she asked in angerAndrew held his shirt and walked in , but Annie’s words stopped her“I just hope you think well about this, I am sure you wouldn’t want your father who has lost his trust in you Lose it again finally, act right and choose what’s best for you” she said and walked back into her room.Andrew stood there his gaze on Annie he wondered what he has gotten himself into and how to remove himself from that trap.He slowly walked back into his room, trying not to make a sound. His wife, Aliana, and their son, Ethan, were sleeping soundly, and he didn't want to wake them up. But as he approached the bed, Aliana stirred, her eyes fluttering open."Babe why on earth are you sweating when there is cold?" she asked, her voice low and husky.Andrew smiled, trying to play it off.
