"That woman treated you as trash. Like someone who's below her in everything. She didn't give you the rightful position in the company. Of it wasn't for me, you would be nothing more than a lowlife living under her shadows." Susan spat, venomously." I don't need you to remind me about all that?" Mr Jones retorted.Yes, his wife was strict with him but that was only because she wanted him to be the best version of himself. Too bad he realized that pretty late. By the time he knew that, she was already gone, never to come back.All that was Left him was regret and remorse.His Alicia was totally different from his mistress Susan.She had boldly approached him, confessing her love for him even when he was a penniless man, doing odd Jobs to survive.She had told him that she just wanted his Love and not money.She was beautiful, talented and smart but she chose a nobody like him over the countless handsome and rich men Who were going after her.You can't tell how happy he was when she ch
Today was the third day and the day Joahkim was supposed to receive the medical results about his fertility.He woke up, prepared himself and went to pick Vera from her house. She had agreed to accompany him and he knew he needed her company.He wasn't sure if he could bear to open the results by himself. It's not because he was worried about receiving negative results, no he was sure about his fertility. Afterall, he was expecting a baby with his wonderful woman and the love of his Life.What Joahkim was afraid of was confirming the betrayal from the woman he had spent years loving and the man he considered a friend.He didn't want to imagine what to do after confirming their betrayal, not that he wasn't sure they betrayed him.He was driving with Vera sitting in the front passenger seat.Their arms were intertwined." Are you nervous honey?" Vera asked, flashing him one of her sweet smiles that dies nothing but melt his heart to a puddle.Was he anxious? The answer was definitely a
" If there's someone who should be careful it will have to be your wife. After lying to my face that I am impotent,you still have the nerves to say it without flinching Nora?" Joahkim said, looking straight to his ex wife's face. He didn't want to miss any expression on her face before making her pay for everything she did to him.She ruined him and he was going to have her pay the dues." What do you mean by that? You were proclaimed impotent after a medical test was done on you. How can you accuse Nora of lying?" Nora's husband retorted, obviously displeased." Whether I am impotent or not should be very clear to your wife, right Nora?" Joahkim replied, his voice was calm but Nora knew better than to mistake that as happiness.Nora lost her footing and stumbled backwards. She almost fell if it wasn't for her husband catching her." Don't worry, I will make you pay for the agony you caused me. Let's see what happens after you appear in court." Joahkim stated calmly.He didn't Know he
" Mom, what will we do now that Daddy is against our plan?" Lucia murmured, keeping her voice as low as possible. Since her dad was not supporting their plan about Mira anymore, they had to do things discreetly." Your father is clouded by the love he has for that woman. Even after her death, he can't seem to forget her." Susan lamented,an evil glint passing through her black witch eyes." Then what are we supposed to do? We have to teach that bitch a lesson." Lucia argued.She wouldn't rest until she saw Mira bleed beneath her. She will have to see Mira begging on her knees to satsify her vengeful soul." Ofcourse we have to.Not only is she causing trouble for you and your father, she is trying to dog in to the past.I can't let her find out that I had something to do with her mother's death.I won't watch while she ruins us." Susan replied, determined.She had to remind that woman about knowing her lane." What about the money? We have to take everything from her." Lucia reminded.Tha
Okay I will look into the person and give you a feedback. In the meantime, be careful,we don't know what they are planning." Jason replied.He was worried about the safety of his cousin.Whoever gave the threat seemed serious about it.With so much danger lurking in the shadows, he could not help but worry about his cousin.Although Timothy assured him that he had nothing to worry about since Mira's security has always been tight,he still felt that the attack might come from the least expected direction.He was afraid, afraid that something might happen to Mira .They just reunited and she hadn't met everybody in the Antonia family.He also knew that his grandmother will be dejected and probably never recover if something really Happened to her beloved granddaughter." Okay I will." Mira replied before disconnecting the call.She was also feeling uneasy, like something bad was about to happen.Kicking that feeling away, Mira continued working until late in the evening.Her office door
Two weeks passed and Timothy grew even more worried.Mira hadn't shown any signs of improvement. The doctor said that she was fine and couldn't understand why she was still unconscious." Are you sure there's nothing else wrong with her Doctor? maybe you missed something during your diagnosis." Timothy repeated that line for the thousand time. He couldn't seem to under why she would not wake up if she was fine as the doctors claimed." I am a doctor and I know my diagnosis is correct. Maybe she is stuck someone. Maybe she went through something traumatic in the past and the accident triggered her to go back to those haunting memories." The doctor explained, that was the only reason he could think of why the young lady was not regaining her consciousness even after she was put of danger." What do you mean by that?" Timothy I Inquired.He didn't seem to understand a thing the doctor was rumbling about. As far as he could remember, nothing traumatic ever happened to Mira. Atleast not th
She had not married Timothy yet nor had she avenged her mother's death.She could not leave without saying goodbye to bee friends and new family.just the thought of never seeing her grandmother's sweet smile almost brought tears to her eyes." Your emotions are all over the place.You don't seem ready to depart from that world." The voice commented." She promised me that I can still have more time with my family.Did she go back on her words?" Mira asked no one in particular.That was the deal between Razia and her, how could she go back on her words and not keep her promise." Who is this she you are talking about? I am not a She and neither have I met you before. I am sure this is my first time seeing you here." The voice asked." I met a Lady the last time.Her name is rizia. She gave me a second chance but our agreed time isn't over yet." Mira replied. she didn't Know why she was even telling him this.It was none of his business but something in her compelled Mira to speak nothing
Something felt strange upon hearing Mira argue back. Timothy shot his eyes open, lifting his head from the bed on a terrifying speed he swore he might have twisted his neck.The sharp pain he felt rush through his neck down his spine to his toes making them curl the evidence.But Despite the pain, he had a smile on his face. The pain was overshadowed by the happiness of seeing Mira awake and well.He lunged to her, embracing her body in his strong muscles, relief washing all over his nerves." With how to tight you are hugging me,i am afraid you'll kill me from lack of breathing." Mira complained, making Timothy pull away immediately.Taking deep breaths, she inhaled the much needed air, filling her lungs." I'm sorry.I was just overly excited to see you awake." Timothy apologized, remorse clouding his black orbs "Hey come on." Mira nudged him with her elbow. She never meant to make him feel bad but it Seems she Just did that." You know that's not what I meant." She said, rubbing hi
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
