“I will be right there” I said my voice barely above a whisper and drove off to his mansion immediately.As I drove up to the entrance of the mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer scale and opulence of the estate. The mansion was a sprawling, modern masterpiece, with sleek lines and gleaming surfaces that seemed to stretch on forever. The entrance was flanked by two imposing stone pillars, and the doors themselves were made of solid glass, etched with intricate patterns that sparkled in the sunlight.“Oh my goodness, this is wealth” I murmured silently to myselfAs I pulled up to the entrance, two men dressed in black suits emerged from the shadows, their eyes scanning me with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. One of them stepped forward, his hand outstretched. "Good morning, Miss Mirabel. Welcome to the estate. May I take your keys?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. But the man's smile was reassuring, and I handed over my keys. He nodded, to
As I drove out of the mansion, I called my lawyer that I was coming, as I reached her office door, she gestured her hand for me to come in.“Welcome Miss Mirabel” she said I nodded and smiled “Thank you and let's talk and get over it please” I said feeling anxious“Okay..”she said “So may I ask why you want to file for a divorce?” She asked “He cheated on me” I said “So you want to leave because he cheated?” She asked, I felt so irritated with her question.“So you want me to stay and watch him do me dirty?” I asked in angerShe smiled “You two have a daughter together, did you not think about your daughter?” I asked I glared at her for a minute, unsure of what to say but I knew I had few questions for her in return but I dont know how to say it in a proper way.“Are you married?” I asked“No” she said “You arent married so how on earth are you going to know and understand how I am feeling and what I am going through?” I asked “Even if I wasnt married I am a woman and I know wha
As I drove home, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. The weight of the day's events was still heavy on my mind, but knowing that I had Victoria and Louis waiting for me at home made all the difference.Victoria was already waiting for me at the entrance, a warm smile on her face. I parked the car and walked towards her, feeling a sense of comfort in her presence. She opened her arms for a hug, and I fell into them, feeling a sense of safety and security.She hugged me tight and patted me on the back. "It's fine… everything is going to be okay, you divorced him so be happy." she said, her voice soft and soothing.I broke the hug and walked into the house, dropping my bag on the floor. "Louis, can you come over here for a minute? I have something Important to tell you two" I called out, needing to share the important information with them.They both sat opposite me, their faces filled with concern. I cleared my throat, trying to gather my thoughts."I have something
As I drove up to the trillionaire's mansion, my heart raced with anticipation. I handed over my car keys to the waiting attendant, just like I had the last time. Walking through the familiar hallway, my heels clicked on the marble floor, announcing my arrival. Reaching the door to his office, I was stopped by the imposing guards."Let her in," a deep, husky voice commanded.I entered the office, and Mr. Raymond gestured for me to take a seat. Mr. Albert was already seated across from him, and I couldn't help but wonder what this meeting was about."Mr. Raymond, I should get going now," Mr. Albert said, standing up."Surprised?" Mr. Raymond asked, his eyes fixed on me.I remained silent, unsure of how to respond. Mr. Raymond smiled and continued, "Mr. Albert, you already know her, and Miss Mirabel, you already know him, so I don't need to introduce you two together anymore."I nodded and smiled back, feeling a sense of unease. Mr. Raymond gestured to one of his guards."Yes, sir?" the
As we reached the entrance of the venue, lights flashing on my face, I covered my face but Raymond pulled down my hands “You must adapt to this, get used to it because you will give speeches and talk to the press where cameras will be pointed to your face, it's nothing just keep your head straight and walk with me” he whispered to my ears.I nodded and did exactly how he told me, as we reached the venue, I saw a lot of women and a lot of rich men. I was beside Mr Raymond because he told me never to leave his side.“Hey.. Mr Raymond” a voice said from behind, as we turned back I saw a rich man surrounded by two of his bodyguards.Raymond smiled and shaked hands with him, he then gazed at me “Mirabel, meet Mr George, he is also one of my business partners” he said his voice firm and deep I nodded and bowed for him, suddenly he whispered to my ears “I have told you not to always bow for people, shake hands” he said I nodded and shaked hands with Mr George, “She is beautiful and respect
After I ended the call with Victoria, I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep. I woke up in the morning when I heard the sound of a knock on the door while I was dressed in a night gown, immediately I saw that it was Raymond i covered myself with a blanket but he wasnt even shocked.“Get dressed and check your iPad, you have a speech to make later today” he said My eyes widened In shock “ A speech?” I askedHe nodded “Why, you cant talk?”I went silent for a while then I spoke up “I can but, I think I am going to make mistakes in front of the cameras” I said “No you cant make mistakes, you will do it perfectly just dont be nervous” he said and walked out again.This is the second day of our of business trip in here, I picked up the iPad and scanned through it, in the news i saw my picture which was taken by the presses and the media.“Oh geez" I said my voice barely above a whisper.What if John had seen everything, how would he feel but then again I dont have to feel bad, he did
John thought of Annie's word even though it sounded like an advice to him but certainly Annie's words were all words of manipulations.“Do you understand everything I said? This is your chance to strike now, especially now that she has moved on to another man” she said, immediately John picked up his phone and called his lawyer.“Hello John” the voice on the other side of the call said “Hi Bryson, how are you doing?” John asked his voice barely above a whisper.“I am doing good and why did you call? It's been months now since we spoke” he said John smiled “yeah right, it's been months I called you about something very important, I need a female lawyer under your care who can help me win a case” he said “What type of case John?” Lawyer Bryson asked John went silent for a while but then he decided to speak up “I want to file for a custody of child” he said “Who's child?” he asked “7 months I guess” John said Lawyer Bryson chuckled “This is hard John, I dont think you can win this
With that Raymond walked out of the conference room in anger leaving me and Lira alone, she began to stare at me because she wanted me to apologize so I did.“I am sorry for causing you so much trouble” I said and bowed for her.“If you know you are causing me so much trouble, then disappear” she yelled and walked out leaving leaving me alone to my thoughts.As I was about to stand up, Raymond's private guard walked in “Mr Raymond is calling for you” he said his his voice cold and distant, I followed him to where Raymond was sitting, as I walked in there he handed me a box.“Open it” he said without no expression.I nodded and opened it turns out it was a box full of cashs, I dropped it back and gasped “Wait.. whats this for?” I asked He smirked “That's your pay for today” he said “Let's head back home if you dont want your husband to win the custody case, I will excuse you to sort out your problems first and if you need a lawyer again, do not hesitate to call me” he added."Thank yo
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
