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
Mira passed by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers. Pink carnations were her mother's favourite. Arriving at the graveyard, she put on her sunglasses. The sun was hot today. She walked towards her mother's tomb. The groundsman responsible for keeping the area clean greeted her. They had gotten acquainted with each other after her recent visits to the grave. Even in her past life, she would come here whenever she was sad or heartbroken. This was the only place that she could cry her eyes out and to her heart's content without interruption of fear of someone seeing her vulnerable. Her mother became her listening ear whenever she wanted to talk to someone.But now, she was here to visit her mother and promise to seek justice for her death.She sat by the tombstone after placing the flowers on the grave. " Mommy,am here to visit you." she started. " Did you miss me,I feel like it's been forever without seeing each other. Did I tell you ,I have a boyfriend now." She said smiling
" Mira Jones,why are you dressed like an escort?" Out of nowhere Caleb asked." what?" Mira asked puzzled. This was the last thing she expected to hear from him." Am asking why you are dressed like an escort? Is this what you used to seduce a man?" Caleb asked again, his voice dripping with hate." What are you talking about? Caleb,are you bitter that I rejected your stupid proposal?" Mira asked back hitting Caleb's sore spot.She couldn't understand Why he asked her Such a stupid question but she understood one thing,he was bitter and her dressing differently than before must have added to his displeasure.Caleb gritted his teeth in hatred. He hated her to the core. She would always dress like a bumpkin when he was with her so why was she dressed so fashionably. Was it because of the man she talked about yesterday? The Mira in his memory was always obedient and would do anything to gain his attention,so why the different treatment this time,he couldn't understand.Thinking about his
" come on in." Mira said trying to restrain herself from jumping on him right there.Tim strode in and walked straight to the coffee table at the sitting room placing the flowers and gift bag there. " No hugs and kisses to welcome your man back home?" He turned to face Mira and without waiting,he pulled her to himself hurrying his head on her neck sniffing her natural body scent that calmed him instantly.After getting separated with her for hours,he missed her alot so he couldn't help himself seeing her before him looking all delicious in her pants and crop top showing her belly button.Tim had to shake his head to clear the desire that was clogging his mind. The desire to take her here and there. She looked like a temptress in that kind of dressing." You are acting clingy.." Mira stated." You don't like it?" he asked in his deep and husky voice.Did she like it? ofcourse, that was given. How could she not.in no time, Mira pushed Tim until he was sitting on the coach then she pro
" Regardless Mira,I still want to let you know that this means the whole universe for me." He said and Mira did not reply. She just hugged him. Actually, words weren't needed in every situation. Sometimes the silence and actions spoke louder. She was happy in his arms and she showed it to him.The couple watched the movie for two hours. Ofcourse, Tim's attention was not on the movie but the beauty in his arms. He wanted the moment to last forever. He loved the tactic understanding between them.It was finally time to retire to bed. Mira led Tim to her bedroom. Despite staying alone, she felt like a teenager sneaking her lover to her bedroom under her parents nose. She was like the character in forbidden passion, secretly allowing her boyfriend to visit her in their parents house. The riskier the more exciting. She shook her head to clear those thoughts from her mind.Tim was tired after a day of long meetings and reviewing contracts. He went straight to have a shower and prepare for b
" That's because everything you make smells really good." Mira countered. He was a CEO but his cooking skills were better and even in comparison to the top chefs in the country." I learnt how to cook specially for you." Tim confessed. He had decided to learn cooking skills for her sake.Hearing his words,a tinge of happiness and guilt flashed in her eyes. She was happy that he learnt to cook just for her and guilty that in her past life, she never appreciated him for his efforts and was busy chasing after that scum of a man.Without thinking much,Mira walked to him and hugged him from behind." Tim,in this life, allow me to make you happy and make up for the pain I brought to you in my past life." She murmured emotionally, almost shedding tears just thinking about how cruelly he died saving her despite rejecting him in her past life.Tim caught the abnormality of her words but decided not to ask her about it. He had noticed that something had changed in Mira but he was afraid of conf
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
