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
I stopped in my tracks and picked up the call, my heart racing with anticipation. "Hi Victoria,you called, I am sorry I didnt get to call you. I have been so busy in the past few days." I said, my voice low and firm."John already found out about this mansion, I walked out to go throw some dirts away when I saw his car parked, and I guess when he saw me, he walked down to me and I couldn't lie anymore because he already saw me putting dirts in the cans." she said, her voice barely above a whisper.I felt a surge of anxiety. "He found out? How?" I asked, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios."I don't know, I dont know how he found out but all I knew was that, he has been calling me non stop ever since you traveled" Victoria replied, her voice laced with concern.I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "So what did he say? I mean what did he do?" I asked, my voice firm."He didn't say anything much, he said he was surprised to me coming out of that big mansion and he asked me abo
After that, we left the Lawyer's office while Ryan and Victoria stepped into the car leaving me and wnd John alone to discuss things.“I heard you've become Raymond's new toy” he said I nodded with a smile “Ofcourse, you heard right and dont forget to tell the court about it so, Raymond can make you rot in jail for including him” I said and walked away but he stopped me, Ryan rushed towards us trying to protect me but I stopped him “No worries Ryan, he is not a woman beater” I said as I gestured my hands for him to stay back.“John, I just hope Annie pushes you to your grave” I said and pulled back my hands and walked away, I knew he was staring at me while I walked into the car but I didnt care and I didn't even try to look back.As we reached the mansion, Ryan dropped the car keys into my hand and bowed. "Please come in and eat," I said, my voice firm, trying to persuade him to stay.But Ryan shook his head. "No thank you, I have to go," he said, his eyes already on the road ahead.
Victoria stood up from her seat, and we walked into her room. I was taken aback by the sight that greeted me - dresses scattered all over the floor, like a rainbow-colored explosion. My mouth widened in shock as I took in the chaos. "So you've been searching for a dress all day? Which is why you messed your room like this?" I asked, my voice laced with amusement.Victoria looked embarrassed, her eyes cast downward as she nodded sheepishly. She remained silent for a while, as if trying to come up with an excuse.She chuckled, trying to tease me out of her embarrassment. "Hey, you also act like this whenever you're searching for a dress, remember?" she asked, trying to jog her memory. "You did the same thing to my room a few years ago, and I had to navigate through a sea of clothes just to get to my bed."My face turned bright red as she looked up at me, a hint of a smile on her lips. "So you remembered?" i asked, my voice barely above a whisper.She nodded, her smile growing wider. "Ye
MIRABEL POVAfter that I drifted off to sleep, As I slowly opened my eyes, the bright morning light streaming through the window made me squint. I reached out for my phone to check the time and saw a text from Raymond. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and threw off the blanket, getting out of bed to start my morning routine.First thing I did was, I headed to the bathroom to begin my skin care routine. I washed my face with a gentle cleanser, followed by a toner and moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated and refreshed. After completing my routine, I felt invigorated and ready to take on the day.Next, I took a refreshing bath, letting the warm water soothe my muscles and calm my mind. As I dressed and got ready for the day, I couldn't help but notice that Louis and Victoria were still sound asleep. I decided to leave quietly, not wanting to disturb them.I tiptoed out of the room, making sure not to make a sound as I closed the door behind me. The silence of the morning was peaceful, and
MIRABEL POVJust as Annie left, I felt unease and walked back inside but then Ryan's voice stopped me. “Miss Mirabel… Mr Raymond has been waiting for you”. I gazed at Victoria, but instead she gave a moment expression look. “Arent you going to say hi?” I asked her but instead she gave me no response, I smiled silently and walked into the car.“Good morning Miss Mirabel” Ryan said with a smile“Good morning, thank you” I said my voice firm, trying to start a conversation but I dont know how, we went silent for a while while he kept driving “Ryan…” I suddenly spoke up after minutes of silence.“Ryan, Can I ask you something?” I asked my voice firm and lowHe nodded while driving, “Okay thank you.. the question is, how did you get to get so close to Victoria?” I asked my voice barely above a whisper, he didn't give me a response instead he kept driving.“Ryan…” I called out to him again, but he didn't say anything, I was about to talk when we suddenly arrived at Raymond's mansion, he pa
MIRABEL POVAnd with that News,I picked up my phone and texted Victoria about the great news, she was so happy to hear that.As i smiling while replying to Victoria's text, Mr Raymond dropped his Ipaf and turned to me.“So what do you think we can do about everything Mrs Valencia talked about the other time?” He asked his voice firm and low I stood my ground, trying to reason with him. “Because, Mr. Raymond, those employees have families to feed, bills to pay, and lives to live. They depend on their jobs to survive,they have children's to send to schools, Firing them without a valid reason or warning would be devastating”.Mr Raymond's smile faded, replaced by a hint of annoyance. "Are telling me my decision isn't right Mirabel? You're just my personal assistant and not the CEO, I have been in this line of work for years”.I felt a sting from his words, but I refused to back down. "I may not be a business expert, but I have a heart. And I know that treating employees with respect and
MIRABEL POVI flopped onto my bed, exhausted from the day's events. I picked up my phone and dialed Victoria's number, needing to unwind and talk to someone who understood me, I also want to talk to her regarding tomorrow."Hey!" Victoria screamed, answering on the first ring. I winced, holding the phone away from my ear."Hey,too loud, do you want to destroy my eardrum? And keep it down people might hear you" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Victoria laughed. "Sorry, sorry! I'm just excited to hear from you. When are you coming home?"I sighed, feeling a pang of homesickness. "I don't know. I'm stuck here until Mr. Raymond decides to let me go.""When should we come over?" Victoria asked, her voice filled with concern.I hesitated, thinking about Nina. "Who's going to babysit Nina? She can't be brought here, and I don't want her alone at home."Victoria's voice turned soft. "Can't we bring her over? She is still a baby, so she needs to be there with us."I shook my head, even
