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
Mirabel was about to speak up when John walked in “Who in the world is making a scene this morning” he asked his voice loud Annie smirked “Babe… Your Ex wife is here” she said her voice dripping in malice Victoria sneered, “Do you have a death wish?” She asked her voice filled with anger “How dare you hold Nina? How dare you even lay those filthy hands of yours on her?” She yelled John's eyes narrowed as he stepped out of the mansion, dressed in his night wear, his voice cold and detached. "Why are you here, Mirabel? We're divorced, so why bother me again?"Victoria's expression twisted in a mix of anger and hurt. "You have no shame, do you?" Her voice rose, echoing off the walls. "I thought you were a good man but turns out I was actually wrong about you” she said in anger, but John gave no expression.“John…” Mirabel said as she slowly stepped forward “How could you be this heartless? Nina needs her mother's care, she is still so, so young, our fights, everything is definitely go
MIRABEL POV Raymond nodded “Alright, I am going to call him now” he said “Okay..” Ryan carefully placed the iPad on the coffee table, angling it for optimal viewing. Mr. Albert's face appeared on the screen, his expression serious. "Boss," he said, his voice low and firm.Raymond nodded, his eyes fixed intently on the screen. "Well, how about what I told you? Any progress so far?" he asked, his tone expectant.Mr. Albert smiled, a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "Everything is in place. I just need her to follow me to the John's office, so we can transfer the shares into her name and finalize the paperwork."Raymond nodded thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing as he considered the plan. I watched him, my mind racing with questions, but before I could ask any of them, he continued speaking."She won't be the one to follow you, Albert. My PA will handle it, or better still, Georgina should," he said, his voice firm.My expression changed immediately. I felt a surge of surprise and conc
And With that, I gently sat down my arms on my legs I knew I was done for, after everything I had said to her she still didn't listen, or should I be there for her and not judge her like she did for me during my time? No, I should let her suffer on her own because she didnt heed to my warning, Louis stared at me, searching for solutions in my eyes.“Did she tell you herself?” I asked my voice barely above a whisper“She didnt, I was at the entrance when I heard her talking about it” she saidI nodded “Let's just act like we dont know anything for now” I said and walked inside, I knew Louis would be surprised about what i just said but that was the truth, the bet way is to act like we dont know about it. I walked inside and began to pack my stuffs for tomorrow's trip.As I packed my bags, memories flooded my mind, taking me back to the conversation I had with Victoria. I had warned her, shared my own experiences, hoping she wouldn't make the same mistakes I did. But she didn't listen.
