" What do you mean by that?" Caleb asked, taken aback by Mira's accusation.Lucia didn't mention anything to do with them planning the accident. She only said that she heard from a friend that Mira wasn't going to the company anymore because she was run off.He could still remember the glee in her voice when she talked about Mira's accident. But she didn't mention anything about having an hand in that.From their initial plan, they were supposed to be open about all the steps they would be taking inorder to strip Mira off her wealth.Although he had decided to not participate in their plan anymore, he hadn't told that to anybody.So them acting and excluding him only meant one thing, they chose to dump him after his purpose was served.Afterall their plan was to have Mira engaged to him and then use that to deceive her into signing everything she had under him.After that, they would devide everything among themselves.He would then dump Mira with nothing to her name and then marry Lu
" Who is jealous?" Despite knowing whatever she said was the truth, he still denied it.It's not because Timothy was worried that she would hate him for that, he knew she wouldn't but admitting it was no fun.Yes, he knew that she was teasing him and decided to indulge her." Obviously that's you!" Mira retorted, chuckling." No wonder I have been smelling something sour ever since you stepped foot in this room." She added, laughing softly." What can I do? I can't help it afterall my girlfriend is outstanding and I can't help but worry that others will want to steal her away from me." Timothy confessed.When she wasn't his woman, he was sad now that she's his girlfriend, he's worried.could life get any worse?" What are you saying? Nobody is going to steal be away from you, not today not ever." Although everything sounded like a joke, Mira knew for a fact that Timothy was baring his heart to her and telling her the truth.He must be worried but he needn't not worry.To her he was he
Two weeks passed in a blur and before they knew it, it was already the day Mira was supposed to go and have her bandage removed." I can just tear this thing using a scissors and everything will be done before you know it? Do we really have to go to the hospital?" Mira complained. She was dreading going to a hospital as she hated such places." Don't even think about it!" Timothy warned." You don't get to do that. Only a doctor can remove that and see whether you are fully healed." Timothy protested.He knew what she was afraid of but he wouldn't risk.After whining and trying to get her way with Timothy, Mira finally gave up.Today, he seemed resistant to her womanly charms.She dressed up and they made their way to the hospital.The process took them afew minutes and soon, they left the hospital with Mira grinning like a fool.Finally, she could get to wear her favourite heels which she had missed for the past month." I know what you are thinking, no heels until I am certain that
" As much as I want you to stare, I want us to do something else, something more interesting." Mira replied with a wink, making Timothy groan." Do I take that as an invitation to milady?" Timothy groaned out the words, obviously trying too hard to control the beast threatening to unleash from the pits of his body." I don't know that, all I know is that right now I want you, I need you to make love to me Tim, imprint yourself on me and brand me with your scent." Mira said, looking deep into his eyes.Her eyes were burning with desire and passion and Timothy knew that all of it was directed to him.He wouldn't have thought that his woman would grant him the chance to make love to her so soon.He had been working on strengthening his resolve and restraint in the past weeks but hearing her words, all self control flew in the wind after crumbling into shambles." As you say my Queen." With that, he moved and captured her lips, sucking, nibbling and biting them softly eliciting a moan fro
Stepping Inside the elevator, Mira intertwined their hands, assuring Timothy that whatever happens she will always have his back. That was a silent promise she made to him. A promise to always have her support in everything, be it good or bad.He had proved to be a reliable person Everytime she needed him.It was her time to show him the support he needed.If he said that he didn't have any children, then she'll believe him.If it turns out to be positive, she would support whatever decision he makes afterwards.In worst case scenario, they would opt to apply to stay with the child. She could handle that. She loved him and was willing to take care of his child as long as he remained by her side.The elevator reached the top floor and the two stepped out, walking hand in hand towards Timothy's office.They had just passed through the secretary's office when a woman approached them and was about to throw herself at Timothy when Luke, Timothy's assistant appeared out of nowhere, blocking
Miranda did not spare another glance at Timothy before leaving the office.She had discovered if she wanted to achieve her dream of becoming Mrs Carls, she would have to up her game.There's no way she would be giving in to his threats easily.If anything, she knew that that person will back her up. Afterall that's what they had in mind four years ago.Her sister had succeeded in trapping Mr Carls but she wasn't as lucky.Now that she was back to finish what she started, nobody would stop her.Even if she had to go an extra mile to do away with any obstacle, she was ready.Thinking about her sister, she fished her phone bad made a call.Miranda waited for a few minutes before the other side accepted the call." Hi sister?" She greeted with enthusiasm." I thought we agreed that we won't contact each other for the mean time.' The other side Said immediately after accepting the call." Is that how you welcome your sister back to the country?" Miranda replied, pouting slightly." You cam
Mira arrived at her grandmother's place. There was a possibility that the whole family might be moving to country A for good so the old lady with the help of Mira, Maria and Jason helped her select a house big enough for all the members of the Antonio family.Although everything was not yet confirmed, the old lady had said that she herself would be moving to the country near her granddaughter.If others wanted, they could follow her. If they wished to remain in country B, that would also be fine with her.When Mira got to the house, she found the old lady drinking her favourite cup of tea." Look who finally decided to visit? I almost thought that my precious granddaughter forgot all about me." The old lady joked.Mira lunged to her, enveloping her grandma in a tight hug as she nestled herself on her grandmother's warm bosom.The exhaustion and the pretence of being strong flooded her mind and made her tears pool at the corner of her eyes.Mira was tired.Tired of having to put on a s
" But didn't you say that the young man got a lady pregnant and is expecting a child?" The old lady asked, distorting what Mira told her." I never said that to grandma!" Mira retorted, her eyes widening at how good her grandmother was at twisting facts.With a puzzled expression, the old lady gasped," But you just said that?" Her dramatic expression fooling Mira completely." I said that a lady from his past is having a child and claims that the father is Timothy." Mira explained, not willing to have Timothy butchered for false accusations." Then why are you crying here like a child who has been bullied?" The old lady questioned sternly." I thought that guy impregnated some random girl and kicked you away. If it's a woman from the past, what does it have to do with you? Did he probably choose his child over you?" Old lady Antonio was enjoying the uncomfortable expression on Mira's face but she wouldn't stop.She had to teach her granddaughter that not everything that is said is tru
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
