Mira took careful steps to the store . She rummaged her purse and removed the VIP golden membership card Timothy had gifted to her. He had told her that she could get a ten percent discount if she presented that card.
Walking towards the cashier, she had the intention of asking whether the card was still usable. Timothy had informed her that the card expires after a given period of time.She had never used the card before so she had to inquire about it." Good afternoon,can you check for me if the card is still in use. Someone gifted it to me and told me that it can only be used for a limited amount of time." Mira said passing the golden membership card to the cashier.The cashier was surprised seeing someone come to their small store with the golden vip card. He was aware that money only could not guarantee you the card. One had to have close ties with the CEO to be able to get their hands on that card." Oh Yes you can still use the card in all butterfly stores. The card will expire the next summer after our summer fashion launch." The cashier replied respectfully handing the card back to the young lady. People with the power to obtain such a card were definitely powerful and he couldn't afford to offend one of them." Okay, thankyou." Mira replied smiling at the guy.The man was taken aback,he didn't expect her to be so cordial. Most rich kids were known to be bratty but she was the complete opposite. What mesmerized him was that beautiful smile and those pearly white teeth arranged beautifully.He had to shake his head to clear his mind of those thoughts." Do you need any help selecting your stuff?" He decided to extend his services but Mira turned him down politely.The last thing she wanted was to have someone following behind her as she shops. She prefers her privacy more so she turned down his offer.She thanked heavens she had kept the card with her despite her bitchy sister asking for it several times.Sheila was strolling, looking for something to buy when a certain dress caught her attention. It was a short,off the shoulder red dress on the display.Her feet carried her towards it subconsciously.She was just about to pick it when someone beat her to it." Sorry." She said withdrawing her hand." No need to say sorry,you can take it I just wanted to admire it." The other person spoke." No I can't do that,you picked it up first." Mira argued back." Oh dear are you mocking me? With my condition,can I still wear this?" The lady asked smilingly.It was at this point Mira did a overcheck and realized that she was heavily pregnant." Okay,I'll pick it but what are you doing here? Mira found herself asking." Why? You also think I shouldn't come out at this condition?" The lady asked,her happy face turning gloomy all of a sudden." I mean what are you doing here all by yourself and I can see you are almost near..." Mira trailed off." I just want to go out. I can't remain in the house all day long. It's suffocating and I don't have anybody to accompany me,so here I am taking a walk to the store all by myself." The lady replied." But it's dangerous at this point in time. Where is your husband or atleast a friend to accompany you?" Mira found her curiosity getting the best of her." My husband is busy, he's working and I don't have friends in this city." The lady smiled sadly." You don't? How's that possible?" Mira questioned but aftee thinking concluded that it was maybe better that way. It's better to have no friends especially if those friends wouldn't bat an eyelid to betray you." I am new to this City. I married my husband one year ago and I haven't been out alot." The lady replied." Forgive my manners,call me Yolanda Adams." The lady said stretching her hand for a shake." Mira Jones." Talking her hand,Mira introduced herself." Mira Jones? That's no new name to me!" Yolanda said wondering where it is she heard that name." Pregnancy hormones working up again. They make me forget easily but I swear it's not my first time hearing that name." Yolanda blabbered on and on causing Mira to smile.Yes, Mira Jones was no stranger to the people of this City. She was known as the main shareholder of the Jones company,the heir of Jones company,the princess of the Jones family and the hopeless romantic." Am sure you will remember soon enough." Mira said masking her current emotions. She thought that her life was absurd. All the titles she had in this society was all In the name,the reality was far different ,but now that she's back, she'll take back everything that belonged to her. One by one, she'll claim what is hers punishing those who did her wrong." Can we exchange contact numbers? Take it as me officially asking you to be my first friend." Yolanda said,her voice full of enthusiasm. HOA could Mira say no to such a lovable lady? The two exchanged numbers and bid goodbye promising to call each other to hang out together.One hour later,Mira was done with her shopping spree,she was holding piles and piles of shopping bags.After paying for them,she carried them to her car with the help of the store staff. They thanked her for shopping with them and requested she visit again in the future to which Mira replied with a nod and a smile.She drove back to her new house.Step two accomplished,it was time for step three, reunite with her loved one.With that thought in mind,Mira stepped to the bathroom to take a shower. She will be paying a surprise visit to Timothy tonight and who better to tell her his current location than his personal assistant.She took her bath slowly, taking her time to clean off today's exhaustion off her body. Mira could see her life taking a huge turn. Soon she'll be with the man who loved her more than he loved himself.She smiled at the thought of seeing Timothy again. Honestly,she missed him. If it was up to her,she could have just gone straight to him after waking up but first things first,she had to deal with the obstacles in their life. She had to start her revenge to those who wronged her. After a whole day of working hard, what better way to relax than lay in the arms of her beloved?After she was done taking a bath,she dried herself and wore the red dress she had bought earlier from the store. Timothy would always tell her that she looks sexy in red. She smiled thinking of collecting compliments from him tonight.Twenty minutes later,she was ready to go. She had earlier called his personal assistant who informed her that Timothy has been in the office since morning.She decided to fetch him from the office, isn't that what lovers do?She blushed on her thoughts. Since when did she start considering herself as Timothy's lover?Pushing those thoughts off her head, she left the house and headed to her parking lot.In no time, she was on the way to Timothy's company. It was a twenty minutes drive from her current apartment. On the way,she stopped by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of white lilies for her boyfriend. Who said only girls should receive flowers? She believed that it was a better way of expressing her love to him.Parking her car,she alighted the car and took hurried steps towards the company entrance. It was past working hours and only afew people could be seen at the vicinity. Stepping by the lobby, she was about to use the private elevator specifically made for the president when the security guard stopped her." Excuse me Miss, you cant use that elevator,please board the common one." The guy politely reminded her but before Mira could answer, Luke, Timothy's personal assistant stepped out of the private elevator." Miss Jones,you are here?" He asked obviously relieved seeing her here. He had been requesting his president to stop drinking but he wouldn't listen. He just hoped that she will be able to talk him out of drinking." This way please." Luke said ushering Mira to the private elevator. He then turned to the security guard and politely reminded him not to dare stop her next time Incase he sees her there..Luke knew that Timothy would throw a tantrum if he ever heard that his girl was
" let's start with why you are so wasted?" Mira asked even though she knew the reason why. She just wanted to see whether he'll be honest with her." And you know I hate lies the most." Mira reminded him. She could see he was trying to cook a reason to answer her." No will do. I am your friend Timothy or ain't I ? Why can't you share your problems with me? You never know I could help you." Mira said trying to coerce him into spilling the beans but Timothy was adamant to keep his secret from her. He didn't want anything breaking their friendship,not even his secret love for her." You can't help me with this One." Timothy replied." Let me be the judge of that." Mira said not backing down one bit. She will make him confess whether he likes it or not." Mira!"" Tim!"" I don't want to burden you with my problems." Timothy said his voice low and defeated." Haven't I always burdened you with my problems all this years? If you don't tell me,I'll take that as you saying I am not friend."
" Tim, thankyou. thankyou for giving me a chance to make up for the things I did wrong in my past life. Thanks for allowing me to be with you, Tim,I love you." Mira confessed emotionally. She was glad that even after all the pain she caused him, he still gave her such a wonderful chance to Love him.Tim caught a word in her sentence that confused him? past life? what did she mean by that? " Past life? what past life are you talking about Mira?" He was sober somehow so he knew that he heard her,it was not alcohol manipulating his hearing ability. Mira realized that she had a slip of tongue in her words. She was not ready go share that part of her life yet,it would come later when their relationship progressed. She was damn sure that he would believe without questioning her or thinking she was crazy but she won't ruin this magical moment for that." I mean in these past few years. I have ignored your feelings and chased after something unworthy." She corrected herself throwing any expl
The two lovebirds decided to call it a night. Since it was already late by the time they finished their conversation, Timothy proposed they settle for the night at his spare room attached to his office. Tim led Mira to the room and helped her sit in bed." Wait here,am going to take a shower." He knew he reeked of alcohol and he couldn't let his woman lie with a dirty man. He was a neat freak himself,he couldn't sleep with foreign odours on his body. minutes later he emerged from the bathroom attached to the room with only a towel wrapped on his waist. His upper body was bare and Mira couldn't stop her hungry eyes from taking peeks at that well built body.She could tell that he was a man who exercised regularly. His body was fit and sexy, she had to admit to that. Mira was always a sucker of goodlooking things until she started listening to her sister's advise. Looking at the Greek god Infront of her, Mira swallowed hard. She might be well reserved but that didn't mean she didn't ha
The following morning, Timothy was the first one to wake up. It was a routine for him to be up at five thirty on the dot for his morning exercise. Today was no exception despite sleeping late and with a warm bunny cuddling in his arms.He opened his groggy eyes and was met by the most pleasant and beautiful face of his dreams. His Mira was sleeping comfortably in his arms like a small baby, without any care in the world. She was peaceful in her sleep which added a certain charm to her already charming face.Tim couldn't control the huge smile from blooming from his face. She was finally his woman and that wasn't going to change, not now,not forever. After years of loving her, she was finally in his arms. What could be better than having the lice if your life by your side when you wake up? It was a wonderful feeling." I better get used to this for I am never letting you go my darling." Tim murmured and kissed her forehead. He then tightened his arms possessively at her and decided to
The breakfast was eaten peacefully. Tim had arranged all her favourites making her heart swell with Joy. Steamed buns and rice porridge coupled with assortment of different fruits,the ones she loved. He was always this attentive to her needs abd caring even in her past life, something she found normal but was not normal to her in this life. This showed that he always had her in his mind, she was happy. She smiled contently while eating her food.The pleasant atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of her ringing phone. She cursed whoever who ruined it for her bir still moved to pick up. looking at the caller ID, she had a huge smirk on her face. Looking at the evilness in that smirk, Tim wondered if this was still the Mira he knew for this was not something she could pull off. She was always tender, sweet and understanding. But Why did she now look like a devil from the depths of hell surfacing to wreak havoc in the human world?" Hello." She plainly responded after connecting the ca
" Are you sure about this Mira. The Caleb I know will definitely try to get back at you. You might have put yourself in danger by provoking him." Tim said worriedly.He cared about her safety the most.They just together so there's no way he'll want to loose her. " Relax Tim,have got this. I am not the Mira who followed others blindly obeying every little instructions given to her.This time,I am going to show them who is the boss." Mira replied,her voice full of determination and a held a promise." And this them is who and who,I understand it's not only about Caleb only." Tim inquired." You are right Tim, this is not only about Caleb, it's about anybody who ever wronged me. I am done being nice to people."Mira explained,her face turning dark. Remembering how those people in the past caused her pain and her beloved,her blood started boiling.Listening to her, Tim could tell that the Mira he was seeing was different from the Mira he knows. Something changed in her but that didn't matte
After Mira Left Timothy's office, she decided to go to the Jones company. In her past life, she never stepped foot In that company since her father forbid her from doing that. It was her mother's sweat and blood,yet the bastard daughter and mistress were allowed to go there while she,the largest shareholders could not step foot there.Today, she decided to go and ascertain her authority.She arrived at the reception and walked to the receptionist. " Good morning ma'am, what can I do for you?" the receptionist asked respectfully. judging from the clothes Mira was wearing, she could tell that the lady before her came from a rich family." I want to take a look at the company. Can I get someone to escort me to the finance office?" without beating around the bush, Mira stated her purpose for visit. Actually, Lucia ver step sister worked at the finance department. Knowing her sister's greedy habits, she must have tried pocketing the company's funds. That's where she was going to start.To
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
