After watching the CCTV footage, nothing came out. The goons had avoided all the cameras but one thing was discovered.The people who abducted Mira were riding a van and it headed out to the X Road that leads out of the city.Timothy did not waste More Time before contacting his personal team of bodyguards.Today was their wedding day so he had them not follow them around.He was confident that he could keep Mira safe, not like anything was threatening her life.He had failed to consider that the Jones bastard daughter and mother might try something funny.After instructing his personal army, he called his cousin in-law.He needed all the help he could get to retrieve his wife.The phone rung for like thirty seconds before a panting voice greeted him grumpily He didn't need to be told what Jason and Cassy were up to. Despite feeling sorry for inconveniencing them, the matter about Mira's kidnapping couldn't wait." Sorry about the disturbance but I need your help." He informed and af
Mira groaned out loud stretching her limb body, trying to open her eyes only to be met by darkness.She tried lifting her hands and only then did she realise that her eyes were bound together behind what seemed like a chair.Her back hurt and her neck was stiffened.Trying to recollect her memories, she remembered how she had been tricked by her sister Lucia into believing that her father was rushed to the ICU.With her stupid heart of compassion, she made her way to the hospital only to fall unconscious after inhaling chloroform .She could still remember the words of ridicule that Lucia spat to her before she completely lost her consciousness.She couldn't believe that she had fallen in one of her sister's well woven traps.If only she had let Timothy accompany her inside, maybe she wouldn't be sitting here in this unknown location.Thinking about Timothy, she couldn't help but wonder if he was doing fine.Who was she kidding? there's no way he would be fine at this point.She didn'
It's been two days and Mira started wondering why Lucia hadn't come to see her.What sick game was she playing?She thought that she'll be here to taunt and perhaps deal with her.The man who had been holding her captive has been very protective of her.He had stopped the other goons many times From abusing her.With such a kind heart, she wondered why he was doing illegal things so she decided to ask him." Hey, what's your name?" She called out to the man who was dozing off from one corner of the abandoned warehouse." You are too nosy. I am trying to sleep here so shut up!" The man reprimanded." But I am in the mood to chat with you." Mira said, pouting.The man observed for a minute before sighing heavily." I'm not going to tell you my name. You might use it to look for me if you come out of here." The man flatly replied." Heh, you are very cautious like I will ever escape here!" Mira snorted.She can't dare to try to escape not unless she wants to bring trouble to herself.Eve
Twenty minutes later, what Mira had been fearing happened.The door was pushed open, revealing Lucia with an evil smirk on her face.The man they had made a deal with had left under the pretence of getting her some food.She did that to save him, rooting that Timothy would arrive in no time to save her.She knew that he wouldn't hesitate to punish the man even if he finally helped her. Mira knew that in Just a few minutes, her rescue team will be here so she consoled herself.In the meantime, she'll have to distract her sister somehow." Look who is here to visit the prisoner?" She started, Making Lucia to cackle with mirth." You do know that you are a prisoner! tsk! tsk! You shouldn't have thought of crossing my path dear sister but because you are stupid, you did it anyway." Lucia mocked.Her words were dripping of venom and there was a hint of anger on them.Just remembering how mistreated she was at the prison, her blood boiled with anger.Lucia marched towards Mira and delivere
The three men attacked Caleb all at once. They were brutal in their kicks and blows.Caleb who was never involved in any fight nor trained was soon beaten to a pulp.As he laid on the ground, bleeding, he looked up and his eyes met with Mira's.He smiled at her despite being in pain and started crawling his way up. One of the goons kicked him on his stomach causing Caleb to curl into a ball from the pain.But in his heart, he could not mind the pain.He had hurt Mira several times and the pain he inflicted on her was nothing compared to what he was feeling now.After the goons realised that the man was no longer a threat to them, they proceeded to Walk towards Mira with lustful eyes and sick smiles on their faces." What a fair skin? we will have a lot of fun playing with her, hahahaha." One goon said, trying to hold Mira's cheek but she slapped his filthy hands away.' Don't touch me." Mira shouted. She felt nauseated just looking at their faces. She could only close her eyes and off
Mira went back to the company. Vera was already waiting for her in the office to give her a report of the progress of the company in the week she had been away." I can't believe the nerve of that witch." Vera said immediately she greeted Mira.It still baffles her how a young person could have such a wicked and poisoned heart.Going to the extend of having your sister kidnapped and wanting her to be gang raped." If she's not the devil himself,I don't want to imagine how evil the real Devil is then." Vera commented, Still in disbelief." She's the Devil incarnate, remember?" Mira joked and the two friends found themselves laughing at their own joke." It's funny how even after getting the report of kidnapping, your father didn't bother finding out how you are. Not even a single message." Vera bitterly said.Talk of dysfunctional families, she was sure that her friend was given the worst.A father who doesn't give a fuck about the wellbeing of his own flesh and blood. Of Course that a
The two went to the nearby hotel to have their lunch and then proceeded to the hospital." Why are we here anyways? Who are we visiting?" Vera asked out of curiosity.They were now heading towards the children's wards which was weird for her." Visiting an angel." Mira replied with a smile.She had promised to fork out the surgery fee for the little girl and had fulfilled her promise. Now she wanted to see how the little one was doing and see whether she needed anything else.Thanks to her father, Mira was able to be rescued without getting even a scratch on her body.She was grateful for that." Talk to the human resource department and create a security post for someone I'll be recommending." Mira announced.She had decided to give the man a Job in hopes that he would not have to result in doing illegal things to support his daughter.Mira had witnessed that the man was trustworthy and she was willing to give him a chance." Okay, that will be arranged." Vera replied.She didn't ask
" Are you sure you wanna go with us?" Timothy asked.Today, they would be putting Lucia into place for orchestrating the kidnapping of Mira." Yeah, I want to look her in the face and remind her that at the end of the day, the evil never have their way." Mira choked out.She could still remember how in her previous life Lucia put a bullet between Timothy's heart. How she said straight to her face that she was useless and stupid. Maybe she was stupid for trusting and believing that family is always the priority. She was wrong because it's her family that put an end to her life prematurely." Okay, you can tag along but that's all. Whatever goes on later should not be witnessed by you." Timothy Informed." That makes me curious though. What are you planning on doing to her?" Curiosity washed over her and age found herself asking.She could already tell that Lucia would be experiencing hell in the hands of Timothy and Jason.But of course, she didn't feel sorry for her. She could be kill
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
