Mira then walked straight to the CEOs office. She was sure her father's lackeys must have informed him about Lucia's arrest. The news about Lucia's crimes were being aired live in the different news channels. Sure enough,the shareholders would be arriving here seek an explanation. That would be the best time to announce her intention of taking over the company. Timothy already informed her that everything was ready and prepared,all she needed to do was to make herself available at the shareholders meeting.Mira did not bother to knock before entering the CEOs office. In her opinion,she didn't have to. The company belonged to her mother and she was the largest shareholder,she could do whatever she deemed fit and no one would question." Good morning Daddy?" She greeted with a smile the moment she entered the office.Mr Jones was so pissed by her behavior that he wanted to bash at her but he held himself back. At this point, he couldn't bear to anger her. The consequences of doing that
Good evening ma'am, welcome to El Passion." A saleslady greeted me politely. This was one of the reasons the jewelry shop was doing good in business. You get to be attended by professional people who have good work ethics. Cassy made Sure to filter her employees really well. She knew that business depended on the satsifaction of your customers. I didn't want to roam about the shop because I only wanted something unique and this shop couldn't help me."Is Miss Cassy around? I would love to meet her in person." I inquired. I knew that Cassy had her office connected to the shop at the back where she designed her pieces." Am sorry ma'am but the manager is busy now, she can't see you." She replied. I could tell she was new here, because the old staff all knew about me." Is that so? Can you kindly inform her that Mira Jones is here to see her." Mira requested. Although a flash of reluctant appeared on the Ladies face,she still walked away after informing Mira to wait for awhile.Cassy wa
" I will be looking forward to great partnership with you." Those were words that Mira needed to hear to know that the deal was on." Anyways, enough about business,tell me girl. What's going on with you. I saw the proposal and how you ruthlessly turned that bastard down. You don't Know how happy I was seeing him all embarrassed." Cassy was so enthusiastic as he stomach itched for some gossip." I wanted to call you but realized you might be alittle busy. After that, I got stuck herewith Job and couldn't call you." Cassy explained. " Tell me something Cassy, why do you hate that guy so much? I remember you never liked him at all?" Mira couldn't control her curiosity.Most of her friends hated Caleb, but Cassy's hatred towards the guy was on another level. He couldn't stand on the same ground, talk less of breath the same air with Caleb." Nothing exactly. I Just don't like him. He's so self righteous and full of himself. I hate people of that caliber. Besides, I hated it when you cha
Jason could still remember how enraged he was and swore to take Revenge on her. He swept every street of the City clean in search of her until he spotted her accidentally a month later, vomiting.How did he recognize her? She was wearing a crop top and a pair of jeans so the butterfly tattoo that haunted his dreams was visible.At that moment, all he wanted was to kidnap her, lock her in his room and punish him until she begged for mercy but changed when he watched her faint before him.Be rushed to her before he realized what he was doing and took her to the hospital to only have the doctor reprimand him for not taking care of his pregnant girlfriend.Pregnant? Those news evoked mixed feelings in him. Certainly he wasn't planning to have a child, atleast not yet. Heck, the thought had never crossed his path and he had kept his distance from daughter's of Jezebel, afraid of getting entangled with them.But the news that his wild kitten was pregnant made him happy. He could already ima
" Interfere with your life? haven't I allowed you to do everything you want? When have I ever interfered with your Life?" Jason couldn't help but ask. He never poked his nose on her personal space so why was she accusing him of interfering with her life?"You answered my parents call. Do you know what that means? It means am doomed." Cassy retorted but her voice was defeated. She didn't Know how to explain to him that her parents wouldn't have a second thought about dragging her to a marriage hall after tonight." I don't think it's a bad thing. Sooner or later they were going to find out about us. It's better this way ." He wasn't remorseful. The sooner her parents knew about his intentions to marry her, the better.Cassy looked at him as if she was looking at a fool. How can be casually say that? The sooner they knew the better? it was more like the sooner they knew, the earlier her Life will turn to be hell.Her father had already promised her to another Man. The marriage arrange
" You sorry? What did you do?" Cassy questioned her,her eyes squinted. Although her face appeared Stern, She was trying hard to suppress the laughter threatening to erupt from her. Who could have thought the devil himself, her name to him, could wear such a remorseful face? He was adorable." I lost control of myself last night. Truth is, I can't to seem to stop myself when it comes to you." Jason replied honestly. He didn't have any experience in the matters between men and woman, but he couldn't control his beastly desires when around her." So you know how to control yourself around others?" Cassy asked, her brows raised making Jason to panic." What are you saying. I have only been with one woman all my life and that's you." He was quick to explain himself, afraid that she will misunderstand him." Okay, apology accepted." Cassy didn't want to make things difficult for him, she couldn't bear to." Really? am forgiven?" His voice was ecstatic, revealing how happy he was." You don'
" You are unbelievable." Mira replied with a shocked expression following Timothy's confession.Seriously? Was the guy seriously jealous of even ladies? That was absurd." I know that. I also know I sound creepy but that's the truth. I only want your love and attention to be mine. That's a crazy request but am being honest." Timothy said, looking straight to her black orbs. Showing her the seriousness in his words. When it came to her, his possessiveness was ignited.Ofcourse he knew that it could be toxic and his Mira Loved her freedom, but even so he couldn't control himself to admit what he felt for her.Mira was touched by his words. If it was someone else who said those words to her, she'll think that he's sick in the head. But not Timothy.She was aware of the lengths he would go for her. The pain he would endure for her, afterall, he died in their past life protecting her. He didn't even think for a second or hesitate before jumping in and protecting her." It might be crazy bu
" But I can atleast come and watch her from afar. I promise I won't approach her." The old lady whined and Jason knew he couldn't say no to her again." What if you get tempted to get close to her?" Jason Inquired. The possibility of that happening was 99.9%." I promise I won't. I just wanna see her from afar and take that chance to visit my daughter's grave." When the old lady put it that way, Jason didn't have the heart to tell her no, not like he would have done that anyways." Okay grandma, I'll book you a flight and arrange for someone to fetch you at the airport." Jason conceded." But that will be all. I don't want your scary men following me all over. I will choose where to stay too." She laid out her demands. Her grandson can be annoying at times, she didn't want to be followed like she was a five year old." Grandma, you can just stay at my Villa." Jason proposed. That Way, he can take better care of her, ofcourse and keep an eye on here. He had a feeling that that old lady
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
