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
I thought about everything, and the words they said made me feel like I can achieve so many more if I dont depend on John’s black card.“I am in with you” I said my voice firm, Mr Albert smiled and exchanged pleasantries with me, he collected my phone number and promised to get in touch with me.As I stepped down from his car, I breathe well and stretched my body feeling the air. I stepped into the car and Victoria was already sleeping, I drove the car and packed into the mansion. Victoria suddenly woke up and was glad that we had reached home, “I am so exhausted” she said as she stepped down from the car, we both walked into the mansion and saw Louis playing with Nina, Victoria also joined them, seeing them happy makes me feel great and thought it was a good idea I accepted such offer.

After Annie had successfully manipulated John, she wa very happy and she felt relieved that everything was going accordingly. Suddenly they heard a knock on the door, it was Diana, she walked in and and Saw Annie sitting at the edge of the bed.Diana's face twisted in frustration, her voice rising to a shout. "Just because you're pregnant for your boss, no I shoudnt put it that way, just because you slept with a married man, doesn't give you the right to just act anyhow! Get out." she spat, her anger palpable.Annie's eyes flashed with anger, but she bit back her retort. Instead, she slowly rose from her chair, her movements deliberate and controlled. She walked out of the room, leaving Diana's angry words hanging in the air.John gazed after her, wondering why she had come to his room in the first place. He turned back to Diana, who was still fuming."You slept with your maid and now you have no shame," she said, her voice dripping with venom.John's face reddened, his eyes dropping
I drove back to the mansion, I couldn’t wait to tell Victoria everything that happened, I stormed into the mansion without packing the stuffs I bought, they both seemed shock with my sudden arrival.“You wont expect what happened to me today” I said my voice barely above a whisper. Victoria rushed to me and collapsed on the chair, “I bought something worth over $0 thousand but a young man whom I knew nothing about paid for everything” I saidVictoria gasped “Are you for real? He payed for everything and you dont know him?” she askedI nodded “You know me too well, I dont have any Male friends or anybody, I am seriously surprised about what happened” I saidLouis cleared her throat “I dont know If you are thinking it the way I am, but my best advice for you is stay away men not even now when John is planning to file for the custody of Nina, he is going to try his possible best to win this case” he saidI and Victoria gasped, we did not even think it that way “oh my goodness, I didnt ev
