" 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
After Jason was done preparing lunch for the family, Cassy helped him carry the dishes to the dining table and arranging cutlery.When everyone was settled, Jason served his father in-law first before serving the rest.Mrs Parker could feel her heart ache for the guy. He was so obedient and lovable. She couldn't tell why her husband Insisted on making things hard for him. But she could atleast relate.He was here to seek permission to be with their daughter. Her husband has always been protective of their daughter and would never allow just anyone to be with Cassy." Thank you son." She thanked him after he served her.Cassy watched as Jason toiled to earn her parents approval. For a man cold like him, she didn't expect him to do all these for their approval.Deep inside, she was happy. His tolerance of her father's bad temper and tantrums showed that she was someone he valued. Someone he was ready to work hard for.The table was spread with a variety of dishes.Jason had prepared bra
Timothy's secretary confirmed the appointment. They were to meet at the secrets hotel over breakfast and talk about whatever it is that Jason guy wanted to talk about Mira.He went home after he was done with work.Tired, he went to bed straight hoping that tomorrow will a good day for him and Mira.Joahkim has been sitting on needles over the past few days. He wanted to meet Vera and apologize. He also missed seeing those eyes that always looked at him with adoration and longing. But remembering how she looked at him with disappointment the last time she left his house, he cringed.It has been four days and he can't seem to get her hurt expression off his mind. He knew he had to clear the misunderstanding between them otherwise he wouldn't find any peace.He couldn't concentrate on work and when home, only her thoughts would paint his mind." Fuck this! I can't continue like this. I need to see her. I need to apologise to her atleast." Frustration was building up on him.Taking off h
A throat clearing interrupted the steamy kiss between the two new couples. Vera pulled away immediately, creating distance between the two of them while daring not look her mother in the eye. She couldn't believe she was so careless to allow a man to kiss her in her mother's house.Joahkim was no better, but rather than embarrassment, he was scared. scared that he might have landed Vera in trouble after seeing the furious look on the lady's face." What's the meaning of this Young lady?" Mrs Stella's furious voice jolted Vera from her seat.Nobody said anything, the two had their heads bowed down.Mrs Stella who saw this smiled Inwardly. They were so adorable when flustered. She would enjoy teasing them for a while." Am talking to you young Lady. What the hell is the meaning of this?" This time, her voice was Stern and high." I- I .." Vera cursed Inwardly. She didn't seem to find any words to save herself from the disaster she plunged herself in." Cat got your tongue?" Mrs Stella m
" I have done my research on her. You know our ways as business men. You are her boyfriend so that's why I thought of contacting you to help me with something that's not clear on my part." Jason added, observing Timothy closely.Smiling faintly, Timothy taunted," Your research isn't that comprehensive afterall." There was a hint of mockery in his voice.For someone proud like Jason, wasn't his detective team lacking in skills." This isn't my turf. Ofcourse it would be hard for me to dig some Information especially if it is hidden intentionally." Jason replied calmly. Not a hint of anger showing on his handsome face." What kind of help do you need? I'll do my best to help you." Timothy agreed to offers helping hand to his future cousin in law." But before that, I want to know what plans you and your family have on my girlfriend." He demanded protectively.They might be family but that did not mean that their intentions are pure. Blood relations aren't enough to guarantee familial lo
To say that Timothy's words surprised Jason would be quite an understatement. He was astounded. He couldn't fathom how a person could be as wicked as to plot a marriage to swindle someone out of their money. But again, maybe that's all they were after.The conversation stretched for an hour. Plans were made, new collaborations discussed and promises given.Timothy Left the secrets hotel and drove straight to Mira's house.They had planned to have breakfast together, he couldn't keep her waiting.Mira was in the middle of her dream when she saw something familiar, or should we say somewhere familiar.The White coloured gates sorrounded by flowers was something she last saw before her rebirth.She saw herself walking to the gates again.She was about to push open the door when a voice stopped her." We meet again my daughter." A woman, as beautiful as a garden of roses spoke.Mira looked at her, confusion painted on her face." Do I know you?" Honestly,she could feel that pulling connec
Old Mrs Antonio arrived at country B's international airport with a young lady in tow.Her face was all smiley as she imagined seeing her only granddaughter. But before anything, she had to visit her daughter and render her apologies for not coming to her sooner.She couldn't believe that her ever rebellious but lovely daughter was no more." Granny, you are walking too fast." The lady behind her complained. She was young with blonde hair in her mind twenties." You are just lazy Maria." Old Madam Antonio, Jason's grandmother, countered." You just want to go home and sneak to see your granddaughter, admit it." Maria replied hastening in her steps while dragging the suitcases." I swear I'll chop off your mouth if you dare say anything to Jason." The old Madam threatened only to have the young lady smile at her." Since you promised me to send me to college while I work,I wouldn't open my mouth." She replied, making a zipping gesture with her fingers.Maria arrived at the Antonio fam
The day was well spend for the two love birds.Timothy had been contemplating whether to tell Mira about her new family. Although he promised not to reveal anything, atleast not yet, he wanted to test and see her reaction to the possibility of having a new family.They were lying in bed,with Mira trapped be Tim's strong arms as she rested her head on his chest." Honey." He started and received a hum from Mira indicating that she was listening." Have you ever thought of your mother's family? I mean like do you know where they are or who could they be?" Timothy approached the topic carefully." My mother's family? Why? do you know something about them?" Mira asked, sitting up by supporting her body weight with her elbows." No." Timothy lied." I don't know the identity of my mother. I only know that she didn't have a family in town." Mira replied. Honestly, her mother rarely talked about her maiden family.All she ever told her was that she wasn't from country A, nothing less, nothin
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
