" 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
Jonas made no sound as his mother vented her anger on him. Everytime she got angry, he would experience the same. If it's not a beating, starvation or being locked in the house, her mother would then burn him with her cigar.He dares not say anything since his mother will threaten to kill him if he says anything.After venting her anger on the boy, Miranda thought it important to educate him lest he mess things up for her.She wasn't willing to lose the Carls empire all thanks to the little brats ignorance He would have to keep with the act of not knowing how aunt Melissa." Your Aunt Melisa stays with your daddy's father. When we go there, pretend like you don't know her. You have never seen her anywhere, nor heard about her, do you understand?" Under the eagle-like eyes of his mother, Jonas could only nod.His Small brain did not fathom why he needed to pretend not to know his Aunt Melisa but because these are his mother's instructions, he would have to listen to them." Good. If y
After she finished dressing Timothy's burnt wounds, she put the little one to bed before she left the house quietly.Since Miranda was unwilling to leave everything behind, she was also going to move on in her life.Don't blame her for not loving Miranda enough, she just felt bad after Miranda chose money over what they had.Miranda stood in the stairs and watched as Tina left the house without even saying goodbye.She knew that her decision really hurt Tina but she just hoped that Tina could understand her.Getting rich had always been her dream.To fulfil this dream, she had gone as far as adopting that brat.She was willing to tolerate Timothy during their marriage despite men's closeness repelling her.She was willing to endure it so that they could live happily in the future.They would be separated for at least two years but that was a small price to pay compared to the benefits they would reap afterwards.She hoped that Tina would respect her decision and support her. maybe aft
" So are you saying that you suspect that the child Isn't even hers?" Yolanda was the first to react and asked. Mira nodded." How can someone be so unscrupulous as to use a random child to blackmail others?" Yolanda added.Seriously, she didn't think that the dramas really captured real life cases. She only thought that those kinds of things only exist on drama plots.Who knew she would be finding this in real life." For money some people will lose their morals and do crazy things. I just didn't expect that she could do that. Poor little boy, what happens to him now if that's the truth. Considering that she has been mistreating him, she will do worse if her lie is exposed." Cassy lamented. She really felt for the little one.How would the boy feel if he realised that whoever he called mommy was only using him as a tool of harvesting money.How would they explain to him that Tim isn't his Daddy or he truly wasn't?" I plan on doing a DNA test between the two. If they are really relat
Miranda was washing her hands after retouching her makeup when a shadow loomed behind her.At first she was scared but after sensing zero danger from the person standing behind her, she relaxed.Lifting her eyes, she observed the person through the reflection of the mirror.Behind her stood a lady in loosely fitted pants and a white T-shirt.Upon closer inspection, she appeared more laid-back and more masculine than feminine." It's my pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Jones." Tina said, smiling lightly at Mira.Mira was hit by the soft and melodic voice like w Cello and she could swear that she never got to hear such a sweet voice.But wait... Why did it sound like the lady knew her?She was sure this was the first time the two were seeing each other so how come she knows her name?After comforting her that she maybe knows her from the press conference that took place days before, Mira relaxed." Do we know each other?" Mira asked politely.Since the lady has been courteous since th
The more Timothy listened to the revelation, the more angrier he got.A bone chilling aura coiled around his body.He couldn't understand how a person could be cold-hearted as to use a child and at the same time mistreat him.Was money so important that she was willing to do something as despicable as that?He always knew that Miranda was not a good person but she didn't expect her to be so heartless.The little boy was lovable and he started to warm up his heart to him.He wondered what would happen to the little champ now that it's confirmed that he wasn't his son.But that was not as important as understanding how his father's wife Melissa played a role in this whole fiasco.He couldn't start to think what would happen to his father if that woman truly didn't love him.With Miranda staging such a ploy, who knows whether the lady was with his father out of Love or not.Of Course he highly doubted that." So that means it's been Melissa all along helping Miranda?" Timothy asked quiz
" Oh you wanna be my little slut tonight?" Timothy asked, giving Mira a slap on her butt.She nodded eagerly, wanting to know how it would feel to be dirty with her Man." Strip!" Timothy ordered, his voice laced with deep desire.Mira did as she was asked but decided to tease him while at it.Standing on her knees while she was kneeling on the couch, she hooked the Hem of her dress and played with it slightly before slowly lifting it up.She took her time to remove it and threw it to his face.Timothy caught it, taking a deep breath before smiling." What a pleasant cologne!" he muttered as he approached her.His hands travelled to her back before trailing them down her spine making Mira's body tingle with pleasure.His hands gripped her waist, applying a little pressure as he started rubbing his hardened length against her crotch.Mira moaned, her senses heightening." You like this aren't you?" Timothy asked, tilting her Head before kissing her hard.He pulled her towards himself t
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
