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. "Nothing I we
The maids brought Ethan over, he was sound asleep in the arms of the maid.“I dont want her to wake up” Aliana said, shaking.Robert smiled “Its fine I wont wake her up I just want to have him in my arms” he said with a sly smile on his face.Aliana adjusted in her sit and watch as the maid gently placed Ethan in Robert arms.“Hey babe” Andrew said his voice low above a whisper.“Yes..?” Aliana said“You dont look well” he said to AlianaAliana smiled “I am fine, I am just getting tired and bored already” she said.Robert carried Ethan in his arms and he became to smile in his dreams."Look at that cute baby smiling in the arms of Uncle Robert" Emma said smilingAliana cleared her throat and gestured for the maids to carry Ethan back."Its alright" Aliana saidAs the maids carried Ethan away, Robert looked up at Aliana with a hint of disappointment in eyes. "I was enjoying that," he said, his voice low and husky.Aliana smiled and patted him on the arm. "I'm sure you were, Uncle Robe
Robert doesn’t seem okay with that Aliana suggested but she just thought that was what she could do to destroy Mirabel’s life and make Robert out of her life too.“And what will I be getting in return?” he asked“S*x, and I am going to make you always see your son, you will carry him and also spend time with him” Aliana said with a smile on her face.“Okay, I will get going” Robert said, he was very happy with what Aliana told him, the word sex made his head swell.Aliana rushed inside and couldn’t see anybody in the living room anymore so she walked back into the room, he couldn’t find Andrew, then she went to bed thinking Andrew could be with his father. Ethan was sleeping soundly, Aliana doesn’t want to wake him up so she gently laid beside him.Andrew who went Emma’s room would be spending the night there secretly.“I am horny Emma” Andrew said as he pulled down his trouserEmma smirked “Cant you have s*x with your wife?Andrew gazed at her and without a word, he pushed her to the
As they arrived at the mansion, Aliana's impatience grew very high. She pulled Annie's arm, forcing her to kneel in the living room. "Who is the father of that child?" Aliana demanded, her voice cold and menacing.Annie didn't flinch, her expression unrepentant. But before she could answer, Emma rushed into the room, looking frazzled. "What's going on?" she asked, her eyes scanning the scene.Diana's face was red with anger. "Annie's pregnant, and she won't say who the father is, we have been asking her who the father is at the hospital but she wouldn’t say a thing." she spat.Emma's eyes widened in shock. "Annie is pregnant?, what's going on Annie?" she asked, rushing to her side.“I am loosing my patience Annie, you better tell me who the father of that child is now” Aliana yelled at her.“I am” John said his voice low and firmThey all went silent for a while, their eyes scanning around the corners of the room searching for who said I am“Who said that?” Aliana asked DianaDiana ei
They all left leaving John and Annie alone in the living room, Annie decided to break the silence “What are we going to do ?” she askedJohn gazed at her “Give birth to the baby safely and after you have given birth, drop the child and travel far away. I am accepting the child and not you” he saidAnnie smiled “I am afraid I dont want that to happen” she said“Alright, take the child with you once you have given birth and I am going to send you weekly allowances” John saidAnnie smiled again, a sly smile shown on her face “I am not going anywhere, I am going to stay here give birth to the child and you will marry me, you either divorce Mirabel or I spoil your reputation outside, I am sure you wouldn’t want that especially when you are running for a big post now” She saidJohn's face darkened with anger, his eyes narrowing as he growled, "That sounds like a threat." Annie's gaze never wavered, her eyes locked on John's as she slowly began to circle around him, her movements fluid and
MIRABEL POV“Thank God, you woke up you have been sleeping in anger since we came back from John’s place, I have been worried about you” Victoria saidI gazed at the clock, my eyes still welled up from sleep“What’s the time now?” i asked my voice barely above a whisper.“This is past 9, you slept for so long” Victoria saidI smiled and walked towards the dining, i poured myself a drink and sipped it, i went deep very lost in thought.“Where is Nina and Louis?” I asked my voice barely above a whisper.“They both went to sleep, Nina already drank from her baby feeder” Victoria saidI nodded curtly, trying to brush off Victoria's concern. But she knew me too well, her gaze piercing through my facade. "Mirabel..." she said, her voice low and firm, as if daring me to open up."Do you even have to ask?" I snapped, my voice barely above a whisper, and walked back to the living room, trying to escape the conversation. Victoria followed me, confusion etched on her face."How are you feeling?"
John’s mansion It was past 9 in the morning, Annie had already cooked and served everyone’s dishes. Diana passed by her and ignored her food, Aliana did the same but Andrew and Emma Joined her at the dinning table.“Dont tell me you will ignore her cooking?” Emma said to her mother Diana.Diana hissed and walked back to the living room, Ethan was crying and Aliana was busy, Diana didn’t act like she heard a sound of a baby instead she ignored it."This house is torn apart," Emma said, her voice barely above a whisper, as they heard the footsteps of John approaching."Good morning," he said, his deep voice echoing through the hallway.They all murmured a greeting in response, but the tension was palpable. Annie, trying to break the ice, invited John to join them for breakfast, but he declined with a curt shake of his head."I'm running late for a meeting," he said, his eyes already fixed on the door.As he walked towards the parking lot, the sound of his shoes on the marble floor seem
“You cant be serious John” I yelled but Victoria covered me mouths. “Keep it down, people are watching, just help him this once” She saidVictoria pulled me into the company, even if it wasnt my choice to do it, she begged me and forced me, as I stepped in the office, Mr Albert Exchanged pleasantries with me.“Thank Goodness, finally you are here” he said with a smile“I am sorry to keep you waiting” I said and stood in front of them.After I finished my speech, Mr. Albert chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Even if John didn't bring you over," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I was going to accept his offer, but I just wanted to see you." He said and shaked hands with John, his smile wide and patronizing.I felt a surge of anger and frustration at his words. I had rushed in here for nothing. I had poured my heart out, thinking it would make a difference, but it was all just a game to him. I turned to leave, but John stopped me."How have you been?" he asked, his v
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
