Mira was enjoying to look at the Lucia before her. She wasn't the Same Lucia who was arrogant and full of pride. She was now a vessel of her older self." How does it feel to be restrained like a mad dog and helpless?" Mira asked arrogantly." I won't remain the same. I won't be here for long, Mira . Mark my words when I get away from here, you'll regret ever knowing me." Lucia spat with bloodthirst eyes.Her eyes were laced with anger and deep hatred.Slap!A resounding slap echoed in the room.Lucia's Head turned to one side due to the impact of the slap." Do you think you are in a position to threaten me?" Mira scoffed." You've been nothing but nasty towards me all my Life, do you think I'll let you live to threaten me again?" " You are right,you will be out of here quickly but whether you'll be in a position to deal with me is questionable. I doubt you'll ever know who you are once I'm done with you." Mira added.The nerve of Lucia! Even after everything she did to her in her
The two lovers went on with their Love Making while Lucia was being tortured by the men in the other room.It was past lunch when Mira finally opened her eyes.She looked around the room and furrowed her brows from the unfamiliarity of the room.She tried moving around and that's when she felt the heavy hand nesting peacefully on her waist.Memories of how they had made love countless times that morning flashed in her mind and she smiled to herself.Her stomach chose that moment to grumble, protesting being forgotten." Hungry?" Timothy asked in his deep husky voice.His aftersleep voice was enough to stir something deep inside Mira. Mira nodded, without saying anything." I thought I'll get a short quickie before we leave." Timothy jokes, tightening his grip on Mira's waist.Mira smacked his hand lightly." Stop joking around." She berated him, making Timothy chuckle." I'm not joking.If you get pregnant, you'll never get hungry.Look at your friend Vera, she's always full." Timothy
" Let's do something interesting dear sister,I'm pretty sure you're gonna love the new exhilarating experience." Mira Said with a smile that did not reach her eyes." What do you want to do ? I am warning you bitch, don't push Me too far!" Lucia's voice bloomed with threat but Mira could still feel the hint of fear and panic in her voice although she tried hard to conceal it." Oh I'm so sacred!" Mira said, feigning a scared expression before bursting into a loud booming laughter." I want to push you too far, too far that you won't think about coming back again." Mira said, her voice dropping and threatening." You should have stopped when I told you to but what did you do? You kept pushing me over and over again. Now you are warning me not to push your limits? Too bad, I currently like doing the opposite of what I'm told." Turning to the bodyguards accompanying Lucia's, Mira Instructed," Boy's, prepare the Queen for her first ride down to Haven." Her voice held mischief as she enjoy
" Take her away!" Mira commanded, the bodyguards dragging Lucia to the edge of the Cliff before they pushed her down.Seconds later, a loud scream tore through the silent cliff, making the sleeping birds fly away.Listening to Lucia's scream did not actually give Mira the satisfaction she wanted. Her heart grew heavy. After all, Lucia was someone she treated as family and a sister for all those years.Seeing Mira's foul mood, Yolanda nudged Vera who immediately understood what she was being instructed to do.Walking to Mira, she hugged her shoulders ." Feeling bad already?" Vera softly asked.Actually she could understand Mira's predicament. Her friend was always soft hearted and the forgiving type.She was the one to consider familial relations before doing anything.But alas! life only gave her unscrupulous family. They cared less about her feelings and did not waste any given chance to take advantage of her." I can't help it. After all she's my sister. Yes I know, I know what yo
After the eventful night when the girls miraculously went missing in action for the whole night, the boys had panicked, moving up and down throughout the night, trying to locate them until Timothy remembered about the beach house owned by Mira which happened to be twenty kilometres from the Cliff.With worry and furry in their hearts, they arrived at the house to only be met with deafening music and booming laughter as the girls had their craziest of nights together .Helpless, they could only join them especially when the girls were adamant to leave and insisted on partying all night long.To punish Them for their mischief, the boys ensured that they wouldn't be seeing each other in a month.The past month has been a torture to Mira. Timothy would not let her go to the company to work. Of course, that doesn't mean she has been slacking off . If anything, the workload seemed to have increased out of the air.She has been working her ass off at Timothy's company who insisted on keeping
Leaving the office,Mira walked towards the field where Jonas was last spotted.Having stayed with the boy and interacted with him, she was sure as hell that the news that someone else was interested in adopting him must have saddened him.Sure enough, Mira found Jonas sulking near the playing field. While the others played with each other, he was squatting down, playing with a stick.Looking at his lonely silhouette, Mira's heart tightened and a pang of pain and guilt gripped his heart.The boy had been through a lot from when Miranda adopted her. She had suffered psychological trauma and had separation anxiety problems.Ever Since they announced to him that they would be adopting him, the boy was overjoyed.How sad could it have been to him.to think that they might have gone back to their words.As a neglected child, Mira was aware of the insecurities running through the little boy's mind.As much as she blamed the authorities for taking too long to approve their adoption request, sh
After they left the orphanage, Mira and Timothy drove in silence, each lost in their thoughts." I want to deal with my problems before taking Jonas home. What do you have on my father?" Mira finally broke the silence.She was craving for a peaceful life, at least before her life came to an end. With her father displeased over Lucia's situation, he could do anything to avenge his precious daughter.Her step mother too was a ticking time bomb. She had cried hysterically when Lucia was sent to the mental asylum.Ofcourse, Mira didn't stalk them, she didn't have the time and patience to.Her private detective had reported everything to her, accompanied by the video of how her step mother shed crocodile tears over Lucia's mental breakdown." I have a handful of incriminating evidence against him. I have been waiting for you to say the word." Timothy replied seriously.After that fateful night that rendered Lucia crazy, his wife didn't talk anymore about her revenge plan. He knew that the
Susan drove away at a lightning speed, overtaking and overspeeding through the roads like someone was on her tail, chasing after her.Mira and Timothy were seated in the tech room of A&C company as they aWatched everything.To make the hunting and chasing interesting, they had decided to let Susan believe that there wasn't anybody following her and capture her just as she was about to Cross the border.According to Timothy, nothing would be fun as to watch her look at the border and not be able to cross it. They had stationed countless of their men at the border to ensure that she didn't get away." She really abandoned the daughter she claimed to love so much!" Mira said, disbelief Still painted on her face." People like Susan don't care about familial ties. As long as they can save themselves, they'll abandon even their flesh and blood. You have not interacted with a lot of people, it's normal you find it hard to believe she can do that." Timothy replied, rubbing Mira's back as sh
With a silent goodbye in her heart, she watched as they all left, leaving her empty from inside.Timothy squeezed her shoulders, flashing her a smile when she turned to look at him.He knew how hard it was for her to watch her friends and family leave knowing that this might be the last time they saw each other.Everybody had already driven out of the property when Timothy urged her to head back to the house." It's getting cold here, let's go inside.Three days later, it was time for her to leave.For those three days, she locked herself in her room, not allowing anybody to see her, not even Timothy.Mira knew that anytime now, Hazia would be arriving to take her away.Taking out the camera she had secretly bought, she set it and sat on her bed. She had decided to leave Timothy something to remind him of herself and the good times they spend together.After pressing the recording button, she started." I know by the time you see this, I'll be long gone. I figured out that I didn't wa
Dinner time came and everyone settled to share the meal prepared to them by the couple." I have to admit that you both are great cooks. Even with my little one being all choosy, I am liking every dish prepared." Vera commented, scooping some more rice into her bowl." Are you saying that my cooking isn't good?" Her boyfriend, Joahkim, complained with a pout on his face." No offence darling but I don't really like your oh so " nutritious food" sometimes I don't even Know what I am eating. I feel like getting pregnant is a torture to my taste buds." Vera replied straightforwardly, not minding to mince her words.Everybody burst out laughing at Joahkim for being roasted openly by his woman." But I do everything to ensure that you give birth to a healthy baby!" Joahkim defended himself." It's good to be mindful of the health of the baby but that doesn't mean you will restrict the mother from meeting her cravings." This time, old lady Antonio chipped in, supporting Vera." I just get g
Timothy didn't expect that move from her. Over the past few days, the couple only stayed in the house either cuddling, watching movies or making Love. To him, this was the best last days he could give her." What's wrong?" Timothy said, inhaling her sweet Jasmine Scent which always calms him down.Knowing that she would be leaving in a week wasn't something so pleasant, but he knew that he would have to accept it. Accept that soon enough, she would leave him and Jonas all by themselves.He also knew that if she had a choice, she would never leave him, too bad that was something she couldn't control." I'm ugly." Mira replied, conscious of the fact that her body was turning all green.Timothy did not understand why she would say that , and he didn't have to understand either. To him, irrespective of anything, Mira will always be the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Nothing could deter her beauty in his eyes." You are perfect hun, never doubt that about yourself." He replied, ki
" The fuck are you talking about?" Yolanda shrieked, disbelief evident in her voice and facial.At first, she thought that it was Vera who was being given the responsibility of the CEO. She thought then she would be the assistant CEO. Who would have thought that Mira was referring to her all along." What? You don't want to?" Mira asked, her voice low and dripping with sadness.She knew that it would be hard to convince Yolanda to take the position she was offering her but Mira was determined to make her agree. She could have chosen Vera as the CEO but she knew under that badass facade of Vera, There's a soft heart that would hinder her in business. Not like she didn't trust Vera but Yolanda was more suited, owing to the fact that she was calculative and heartless, ideal for the business world.Since the convincing was ought to be done somehow, she chose to use her ultimate tool, emotional blackmail.Her pitiful voice was enough to evoke others to do her bidding and that's how she'll
Timothy nodded, he could only agree with her suggestions because the lady was not someone he knew where she resided. Otherwise, he would set out on a journey to find her." So what are you planning?" That question did nothing to alleviate Mira's mood.She has revealed the secret to Timothy but she doesn't Know whether she's ready to reveal it to anyone else, much less think that they'll believe him. Some might think that she's losing her mind.Seeing her expression of reluctance, Timothy sighed." You do realise that at some point you will have to tell them. No matter how unwilling you are, they have the right to know what is happening to you. This is not something we can hide because it will eventually happen. Do you want others to be left grieving without knowing what actually happened to you?" Timothy was trying to see if she can get to open up to others. While it's not a must, he still felt that her loved one deserved to know what was happening with her. As her family and friends,
" This is not my first time Living." Mira Said, taking a deep to calm down her nerves.If she was to tell the story of her life, she might as well take reign over her emotions and not break down amidst.Timothy said nothing despite the confusion in his mind after hearing her confession.Pushing herself away from him, Mira sat a metre away from Timothy. She wanted to watch him, see every expression while sfe tells him about the story her life,a life he might not be able to relate or even believe.But either way, she knew she had to do it. After postponing things for so long, this happened to be the perfect time she had been waiting for." I came back to life. You can say that I was given a second chance to do things the right way. In my past life, I died after getting betrayed by my family and ofcourse by my then fiancee, Caleb." Mira explained,her words coated with venom as she talked about the cause of her death in her previous life.It was something she wanted to forget, wanted to
Timothy watched, horrified as Mira's hands transformed to the transparent body he had seen her in his dreams. Before she was totally swallowed by the darkness, her body started to turn transparent.Dread filled every nerve of his being as he strode to her." What's happening to your hands?" He asked with horror filled eyes.Mira who had panicked shook her head frantically, wanting to say nothing was happening to her hands but no sound came.One minute passes before Mira's hands finally turn normal, relief washing through her as she sighed heavily.She squatted, intending to pick the broken shards of the plates. It was then sfe realised that her leg was bleeding. Turns out one of the shards had pierced her leg, making it bleed.Seeing her hurt, Timothy lifted her in his arms, carrying her to the sofa.After he placed her on the coach, he went to get the first aid kit.Without saying anything, he poured a little spirit on a cotton swab before cleaning her wound.It wasn't a deep wound
The days passed by well. Hazia started visiting Mira frequently, urging her to tell Timothy about her situation. She was reluctant, unable to break such devastating news to him. She didn't want to watch him sad over her soon to be departure." I have talked to the man and he has promised to meet you. Whether you pass the test or not depends on you." Hazia Informed Mira as she busied herself cooking breakfast for the family It was the weekend and Jonas had Left to his grandfather's house.After Melissa gave birth, Jonas practically moved in with them. He was always asking to be around the little girl and after much nagging, Mira had allowed him to spend the weekend over his grandfather's house.She could rest assured that he would be taken care of. Afterall, the boy had successfully garnered the Love and attention of everyone in the house." What about the test?" Mira' asked, looking less interested in whatever Hazia was telling her.According to her, nothing could save her from the f
After cleaning her face with cold water and wiping it with a clean towel, Mira picked her bag and left. She couldn't afford to have Vera realise that she just cried. She wasn't in the mood to have questions flooding her. Anyway what would she even tell her? That she was crying because she was about to leave this world? That would be crazy and hard to believe. Besides, she didn't want to worry her friend.Peeping through the window, she bid Vera goodbye before walking downstairs and to the parking lot.She drove off to a familiar destination, a place she had avoided coming in the past few months.With a bouquet of red roses, she made her way to her mother's grave. It was clean and a the flowers laying on top of it told her that someone had visited her mother not long ago.Removing the already dry roses, she placed her fresh ones on her grave and sat at the edge.Tracing the name engraved on the tombstone longingly,her tears escaped again.It seemed like today her tears were not willing
