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.
