Vera immediately pulled away, beaming a smile at Mira." I'm glad to see you back." Vera Said.Mira smiled but her smile was forced, Vera noticed that." You are worried about the rumours going online?" She asked and Mira nodded.How could she not worry? It was obvious someone was trying to pull down the Jones company to the mud. She couldn't allow that to happen." I have contacted the public relations office to release a statement that our CEO will be holding a press conference later today." Vera revealed." I think someone is trying to bring the company down, Timothy already Instructed me to make the arrangements." Vera added, smiling." Timothy?" Mira's face schrunched up.How did Timothy know about everything happening while she didn't have the slightest idea and had to find out at the office.Since yesterday, she hadn't used her phone, that's why she was unaware of everything happening." Yeah he called me this morning to make the arrangements. He said that you would be here lat
The More Vera listened, the more she listened, the more angrier she became.She couldn't believe how soft her friend had turned out.How could she allow a lady whore to rub the fact that she got pregnant for her boyfriend on her face? that was utterly unbelievable.Shooting from her chair, she puffed get cheeks out, breathing deeply trying to contain her anger." And you let her go? Just like that? I can't believe you." Vera scolded.How could her friend be so soft? She thought that things changed after she put Lucia in her place.How could she do that?With a lazy smile on her face, Mira snickered, " Who said I let her go?" Her voice was low, promising someone trouble." Oh I see someone is in deep shit." Vera commented, taking a chair and smiling faintly.She was liking the evilness deeply embedded on Mira's words." It's only right for me don't you think?" Mira asked, cocking her brows at Vera," If you play with fire,you are bound to get burnt." She added, a lopsided grin gracing he
The press conference ended and it could be considered a huge success. Many companies send congratulatory messages to Mira, especially after seeing Timothy, the famous CEO of the A&C company a step away from the new CEO of Jones company.His presence around the spotlight was enough to send the message to other companies that Jones' company had his full support.Getting a chance to be acquainted with the devil CEO was hard so Jones company would become the stepping stone to higher grounds.Afterall, who wouldn't want to be in association with the big fish and reap benefits for their companies.Actually Timothy knew the impact his presence had on his woman's company and that's precisely why he was here. He wanted to help her stabilise the position of the Jones company and what's better than making his presence in the press conference?That was enough to send the message.Mira too had taken the opportunity to leech off him, not like he minded, he liked it when she used him for anything. H
Mira woke up the following day feeling like her body had just been run over by a truck. Every muscle of her body was aching.The heavy weight on her waist indicated that Timothy was fast asleep.Turning slowly in order not to wake him up, she faced the man who had made love to her yesterday without any reservations.He didn't hold himself back and gave her what her heart desired.Caressing his face softly, she planted a lingering kiss on his forehead.God! She loved this Man and no amount of mistakes he made could change that fact.The peaceful and sweet serene face before her was what she wanted to be greeted with everytime she woke up in the morning.This was the kind of life she wanted for herself, well at least until her time on earth was over.The thought of ever leaving Timothy scared her.She was scared of the unknown.Pushing those sad thoughts to the corner of her mind, she smiled.Someone was truly trying to test her patience.Mira was baffled how trouble was finding its way
The couple made their way to the company. Timothy insisted on driving Mira to the company and Mira allowed him to.She's didn't see the need to protest because as long as Timothy was set on doing something, there's nothing she could do about it.The thirty minute drive to the company saw Mira take a short nap.Maybe it was the sex they'd just had but the truth was she was feeling a little bit lazy and slept.If anything, she could have spent the whole day glued to her bed but she had a company to run. People that depended on her to make a living so how could she abandon everything and continue to act irresponsible?" I will see you in the evening." Timothy announced as he helped her unbuckle her seat belt.After a brief kiss, Mira watched as Timothy drove away.She then remembered the conversation or rather the Instructions she gave her Private investigator." It's time for the show." She said, giggling happily." What's making you so happy in the morning?" Vera's voice greeted her f
" Aunt Mira, I missed you." Jonas said in his childish voice, rubbing herself on Mira's body.Mira felt a surge of warmth envelope his whole being hearing the boys words.She had come to love this boy with all her heart. She was supposed to dislike Jonas since his existence was a pain in the ass in their relationship but surprisingly, she felt nothing like that to the boy.Instead, the little one had managed to warn his way to her heart. She found him to be adorable and lovable." Oh really little champ?" Mira asked, smiling at the boy who bobbed his head, nodding." Awwwn I also missed you champ." Mira replied and the boy smiled.His beautiful smile evaporated almost immediately and his saddened face brought a stinging pain to Mira's heart." what's wrong champ? Is something the matter?" Mira asked. She could tell that something was wrong with the little boy.Jonas was an happy soul, always smiling so seeing him unhappy made her heart bleed.Jonas shook her head but Mira knew better
" Mommy said that she would get rid of Mr after she gets together with Daddy." Jonas whispered to Mira's ears making her eyes bulge out.She couldn't believe what she was hearing.So she was right all along, the reason Miranda was here wasn't all because of the child but because she wanted Timothy all by herself?Thinking about that, deep hatred and scorn grew from deep inside her heart.What made her more angrier was the fact that Miranda was willing to ditch her own son after getting Timothy.Not like Mira was planning to have her succeed.She would never let such a selfish person near her Man.Come to think of it, Jonas was not safe with such a woman.Now, Mira was becoming doubtful whether Jonas was really her birth child.Was there a mother who would go through pregnancy and then to labour and still treat their child so poorly?That was close to impossible.The seeds of doubts started growing inside Mira's head. Something smelt wrong somewhere and she promised herself that she wo
"What do you mean by I stop being unreasonable? And what's it to you if I am unreasonable or not? He's my son and not yours so stay the fuck out of this." Miranda roared.She wasn't going to allow Jonas to live with that conniving bitch. Not even for a day.Mirabda was no fool. She could tell that either Mira sensed something wrong with her son or she wasn't convinced with the results.Timothy might be eager to acknowledge Jonas as his son, afterall the man I was a responsible person but it wouldn't be easy to fool Mira.Besides, how could she let that brat go with them? What if he decides to spill the truth about how she abused him?That would foil her plans and ruin everything she had taken years to plan and strategize." Watch how you talk to my woman. Also the child is here, mind your language." Timothy reprimanded.He was finding it hard to tolerate the woman in front of him, especially not when she was openly disrespecting his woman.If she wasn't his son's mother, he would have
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
