Victoria's hands moved swiftly as she divided the cash, her eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief. She handed Louis her share, their fingers touching briefly as Louis accepted the money. Victoria's smirk grew wider as she kept a portion of the cash into her pocket.Mirabel's eyes narrowed, her voice tinged with confusion. "But you asked her just now why she collected the cash from him," she said, her brow furrowed.Victoria's expression turned innocent, her voice low and sweet. "Did I?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with amusement.Louis nodded, her gaze steady. "Yeah, you did. And why did you even accept the cash from me?” She askedVictoria's smirk returned, her shoulders shrugging nonchalantly. "Well, we can't throw the money away, can we? He gave it to you.. we have no reason to be mad at money, we are only mad at him not his money" she asked, her tone playful.Mirabel's smile grew, her eyes crinkling at the corners. Without another word, she turned and walked out of Nina's room,
Georgina burst into the room, pulling the blanket off Mirabel's body. "What now… Georgina, I want to have a peaceful sleep this morning." Mirabel groggily replied, her voice low and firm, sleep still clouding her eyes."Why are you still sleeping by this time, Wake up, you have a lot to do today," Georgina said, her gaze scanning the room before landing on the table. "You didn't learn that, did you?" she asked, her tone laced with amusement.Mirabel nodded, but then realized she hadn't actually gone through the papers. "Oh my goodness..." she exclaimed, sitting up with a start. "I'm dead..."Georgina nodded, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Very dead, so stand up now and do what's necessary" She turned and walked away, leaving Mirabel to scramble out of bed.The mansion erupted into chaos as everyone rushed to get ready, the sound of heels clicking and doors slamming filling the air. Louis and Georgina emerged from their rooms, dressed and composed, while Victoria rushed out, a
They all stepped into the car and drove to the mansion, it was already past 6, Louis had already made Mirabel's new dress and Victoria was helping her apply make up on while Georgina was taking her pictures and videos which are going to be posted on the the media.Victoria's hands moved deftly as she applied foundation to her face, her eyes locked on Mirabel. "Tomorrow is the Nina's custody case day, if you're planning to sleep at the club, let us know so we can wake you up on time, we cant afford to joke about tomorrow" she said, her voice firm.Mirabel nodded, her mind racing with thoughts of the upcoming case. "Georgina will be there with me, right?" she asked, her eyes seeking reassurance.Georgina smiled, her expression warm. "Yeah, I don't have to wear something flashy or too much, just a simple dress is enough," she said, her voice light.Louis's brow furrowed, her expression concerned. "Well, please take care of her, she doesn't know anybody at the club, she's not that close w
I couldn't even ask Georgina about what happened last night anymore because I dont want to ever remember it, I checked my time and it already past 7, and the time give to me by the lawyer is 8am, I rushed into the car while the Georgina was the one who drove. But then I suddenly heard my phone ring, I picked them in Georgina's bag as I was rushing, the stuffs in her bags fell. “Oh sorry… so sorry..” I said to her as I was helping her pack I saw a camera but then she picked it up even before I could lay my hands on it.“Never mind I am going to pack them, just do what you have to so we can get there on time” she said and continued, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off about her, but then I erased the thought and continued scanning though the phones in my hands.“Hey…. Where have you been? I have been calling you since 5am” Victoria said her voice loudI nodded, I dont even know why I am nodding but i feel like something bad is going to happen “Vic..Victoria…” I said
Mirabel's eyes widened in shock as John's lawyer, Mrs. Carina, stepped forward with a sly smile. "Your Honor, I have another piece of evidence to prove that Mirabel is not worthy of being a mother to that child" she said, her voice dripping with malice.Lawyer Roy, Mirabel's lawyer, jumped up from his seat. "Your Honor, this isn't acceptable! They can't just bring in new evidence without prior notice! This isnt legal"But Mrs. Carina was relentless. She handed the judge a hard copy of the evidence, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Your Honor, this is the proof we need to show that Mirabel is unfit to be a mother and I hope you make the right decision after seeing this. "Mirabel's eyes scanned the room in panic, her mind racing with thoughts of what the evidence could be. And then, she saw it. A photograph, blown up to show every detail, of her wrapped in a bedspread with another man in a hotel room.The courtroom gasped in shock, and Mirabel's friends, Victoria and Louis, look
Mirabel's eyes blazed with anger as she stood up, her hands shaking with rage. She stormed outside, confronting John's lawyer, Mrs. Carina. "Mrs Carina.You're a woman, a mother, and yet you have no sympathy? Not even a little bit sympatht? All you care about is your client and the money he's paying you? How much did he give you? I'll pay double, since you're clearly suffering from a lack of empathy!"Mrs. Carina smirked, unfazed. "Mrs.Miabel, I can sue you for defamation. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"Louis, Mirabel's friend, stepped forward, her voice low and firm. "Hey.. Go ahead, do your worst, do everything you are capable of doing. But I am warning you now, if anything happens to that child while she's in their care, I'll make sure you, John, and everyone involved pays dearly. I'll ruin your career, Mrs. Carina. You'll never practice law again."Annie sneered, but her smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. She snatched Nina from Vict
“What?” Victoria asked her voice low and firmGeorgina gazed at her surprised about what she was laughing “Why did you laugh just now?” She asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.Victoria's smile faltered, and she let out a sigh. "Look, Georgina, I actually believe you. But right now, it's best if you leave. Mirabel is furious right now, and even Mr. Raymond can't calm her down, so I cant too. You shouldn't be here right now."Georgina shook her head. "I didn't do anything, Victoria. I swear. I don't know what happened last night."Victoria raised an eyebrow. "Then why do you have cameras with you? And when Mirabel looked for it in your bag, it was gone. She's suspicious, and I don't blame her."Georgina gestured towards the car. "The camera is in there. You can check it. There's nothing on it, I promise."Victoria hesitated, then walked towards the car. She opened the door and saw the camera on the passenger seat. Georgina followed her, a look of innocence on her face."See? I told y
The room went silent, all eyes on Louis but then she spoke up “it's fine, I will keep shut” she said and walked inside in anger, Miabel sending all that apologized to Raymond and his friends for what happened.“I am so sorry, you.. this is normal between friends” she said Mr Raymond nodded..Mirabel's eyes narrowed as she watched Raymond drive away, her mind racing with questions. She turned to Victoria, her voice low and even. "And what was that about? What the f*k was that about? You actually said such a thing to me? Are you drunk?"Victoria shrugged, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips “Did I even say anything wrong?” She asked Mirabel's anger simmered just below the surface. "Don't play dumb, Victoria. Victoria's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "What are you talking about, Mirabel?"Mirabel's patience wore thin. "Don't act smart, Victoria. I know you slept with Ryan in this mansion, in your room, the day Mr. Ryan welcomed us into this house. Ho
