Mirabel was heartbroken and as she drove off, she screamed so loud.“Screw you! How could you do this to me?” She shouted in anger and threw the flower at the already gone car.She moved closer to the river bank and rested on the rail and started crying.“Why would Brandon do this to me? After trusting him so much and doing my best for him, he left.” She muttered under her breath, with hot tears rolling down her cheek.Then she headed towards a bar and then sat down.“Bartender, give me two bottles of any strong alcohol you have here.” She said, not minding the way he looked at her.The bartender dropped the two bottles before her and returned to attending other customers, waiting. Mirabel gulped down the drink and then she poured a shot for herself and drank again.“That bastard. How dare he fool my sister and I?” She bit her lips in pain and was barely holding back the tears.Then she took five more shots at one go and was beginning to get drunk.“Hey, beautiful miss. I think you ar
Kyle was still shocked with the news and didn’t know what to say to his workers. He could barely look at them in the faces, yesterday, but he had to act tough. It wasn’t a sin, but as a public figure, Mira could be going through some uncomfortable situation right now and he felt bad for what had just happened. He wondered who exactly leaked this, because no one else knew about their relationship, except Mirabel and she wouldn’t do that to her sister. He had returned the phone and walked out, feeling anger, deep inside of him.And his secretary followed him to his office, hoping that he wouldn’t lash out at her. Kyle slammed his fist on the table, feeling angry. Kyle didn’t go home and stayed in his office until the next day. His secretary walked in early, trying not to get on his nerves.“Good morning, sir.” She greeted him, trying not to sound happy or sort.“How did this happen, right under my nose?” He said, with anger.Katherina couldn’t say anything as she was speechless because
Rejection makes you stronger, they say. But it hurts alot when you are still young and fragile. "I like you" 10years old Kyle confesses to Mirabel handing her a flower. "Please accept it"Mirabel crosses her arms."I refuse to""Why?""Because you are ugly, fat and poor." She blurts out before turning her back at Kyle and walking away from him. Those words had hit him hard and made him swear that he would be successful- no matter what it takes. And 10 years later, he seems to have accomplished his goal. 20years old Kyle stepped out of his red convertible car all dressed up in a black tuxedo and black shades as the reporters struggled to get his picture. He is now the youngest billionaire and damn, does he oozes out fineness! Kyle tugs at his collar before smirking and walking into his company. The company he has built with his own sweat and blood. Thanks to that rejection he'd received as a child, he was able to dream big and make something out of himself. If he ever sees Mira
Mira grumbled as her phone rang.Damn, she loves BTS but right now her ringing time was the most annoying thing in the world to her ears. She grudgingly got up from her bed and shrieked as she saw the time. It was 4am . She was going to give the caller an earful, she swears!She picked up her phone and laughed at the screen. "An unknown caller? Seriously?"She slide across the screen."Who is this?" She asked ready to start a fight. "Are you asleep?" His deep voice asked. On hearing his voice, her phone slipped from her hand. That was Kyle's voice! How did he get my number? She thought. "What to do?" She muttered. She picked up her phone from the floor. "May I ask how you got my number, sir?""You filled it in the papers you'd signed earlier"Mira smacked her hands in her head. Of course! how could she have forgotten?!"Ah. Then is something the mat-""I just wanted to tell you that you are supposed to be at work by now"Mira blinked her eyes "But sir, it's 4am""I know. You are t
Mira woke up the following morning as she stretched her arms. Another day and another round of cleaning but this time, she was happy because she woke up 9am on the dot. She had started her cleaning when Valentina, Andrew and Dwayne walked in. "Good morning" she greeted them with a smile. "Oh, Mira. You are in a bubbly mood this morning. Did something good happen?" Valentina teased. "No. Just woke up on the right side of the desk today"Andrew stiffled his laugher but Dwayne caught on. "Hey, just laugh". Andrew immediately straightened his face. "I'm not laughing"Mira resumed her cleaning while humming to a lullaby her mother used to sing to her and her sister when she was still alive. "Good morning, boss" Valentina, Andrew and Dwayne greeted as Kyle walked in but he was to busy reading over a file in his hand that he just waved at them. Nothing could steal his attention from the file because it was urgent and needed his attention immediately but he came to an halt as he hear
The following morning, the loud banging on the door could bee heard but none of the sisters were ready to get up yet. "I'm unemployed and this is the best sleep I've gotten in years. No way in hell am I getting up" Mira muttered turning around in her bed and placing a pillow over her head. Mirabel descended down from her room upstairs and walked into Mira's room slowly tapping her. "Mira""Get lost" Mira grumbled sleepily. "Go and answer the door"Mira removed the pillow from her head. "Are you kidding me? You came all the way downstairs from your room, why couldn't you do it instead?""I have a date soon"Mira grumbled before standing up from her bed and walking towards the door. She turned on the knob. "Who is-"She gasped as she slammed the door close. "What is this? Why is Kyle outside my door?" She pinched herself to confirm if she was dreaming but she wasn't. Mira tugged at her hair. " I can't believe I opened the door looking like this". Kyle knocked on the door once more.
Mira walked over to the coffee machine when Andrew showed up beside her. "I'm sorry for the way I hugged you. It was sudden. You must have been shocked"he said shyly. Mira smiled"It's okay. Teammates can do that much for one another, right?""You're right. Anyways, I and some others would be throwing you a welcome party since you didn't get one before. Make sure to show up, okay?"Mira nodded her head with a smile."Okay"Valentina walked in on them as Andrew turned and left. Valentina grabbed a cup as she fixed some coffee for herself. "Why did you come back suddenly though? Did boss come to meet you that day?" Valentina askedMira furrowed her brows in confusion "What day?""The day it rained. He ran out so I thought he was going to apologize to you. Didn't he?"Mira shook her head."No, he didn't""Anyways, I'm glad you are back. I would like us to be close being the only two girls on the team"Mira laughed. "Me too". As they left the coffee machine and headed back to their desk
The following morning as Mira makes her way to leave for work, Mirabel reminds her to come home early as she'll be bringing her boyfriend home to introduce her to him. "We need to make a rule in this house that you mention your 'boyfriend' once a week because I think you are going to make my ears bleed soon" Mira teases. "Oh, don't be jelly, Mira" Mirabel sticks out her tongue. "It's not my fault I'm hot" "I see" Mira moves to the kitchen where she fixes herself a toast and warm milk. "Cheers to you being hot" "Seriously, don't you want to date either. You've just been about work, work. At this rate, you might die single" "I told you I already have someone I like, Mirabel" "Then tell this person!" Mirabel grumbles. "He would never know how you feel unless you lay out your cards first" Mira sips from her glass of milk. "That would be nice but he'd never noticed me before" "Then that's perfect" Mirabel clicks her fingers. "Why don't you try seducing him? I can help you out" Mir

Mirabel was heartbroken and as she drove off, she screamed so loud.“Screw you!

Mira still didn’t have the interest to go to work. There was no way she would be able to face the peering eyes of her colleagues. She was even certain that reporters could be at the company, waiting for her and Kyle, so that they could bombard them with questions.“Mira.” Mirabel called out to her, softly.“You know what, do not bother to try to convince me. I do not know about tomorrow, I could decide to go to work, but today, I do not feel like it. I can’t go to work in this mood and even while things are still hot.” Mira said, then heaved a heavy sigh.“Come on, Mira. Alright, it’s fine. I understand you and you can stay at home today, but tomorrow, make sure that you go to work, okay?” Mirabel said as she stroked Mira’s hair backwards.“We’ll see about that.” Mira said, weakly.Suddenly. Mirabel’s phone rang and she went to the sitting room to check who was calling her and to her surprise, it was Brandon. Seeing his call made every suspicion she had, against him, to disappear. She
Kyle felt happy with the way things went, last night and when he woke up this morning, he replied Mira's message."What a good day to start work." Kyle said as he stretched, happily.He went to the bathroom and had his bath, then went downstairs to eat breakfast. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he ate the meal. Because he was having a good start for the day, everything seemed so nice to him. If he was given a meal which wasn't really delicious, to him, it was going to be delicious.Then he checked his phone while eating to see if Mira had replied him."Why hasn't she replied me? She ought to have woken up, since it is a work day. Or she is still busy, preparing for work?" He assumed, then dropped his phone to finish up his food.After he was done with eating, he entered his car and checked his phone, but still no reply from Mira."Now, she ought to have seen it. Or would it be cool if I went to her house and pick her up? She might have gone to the office." Kyle slammed his wrist
"What's going on?" Mirabel asked out of concern as she saw the way Mira was looking at her phone."I think something is wrong, Mirabel." Mira said, trying to calm down, hoping she wasn't in great trouble."What's wrong, Mira?" Mirabel continued to ask, worrying that something was really wrong.Mira checked online and screamed as she saw a message sent to her by one of the people she knew. It was a screenshot of an article about her and Kyle. The person didn't screenshot all, so Mira immediately checked online to confirm if it really was a real article that was posted online."Check the internet, Mirabel. I do not understand what I am seeing right now." Mira said, with her hands which were filled with cold sweats.Mirabel gasped as she saw the news. An article about going on a date with Kyle was all over the internet and was even trending. Many comments were there, including hate comments that were directed at her."What the hell? How did this get to the public?" Mirabel exclaimed, loo
Mira woke up, she didn't know when she slept off last night. She was really exhausted and when she picked up her phone, she saw a message which was from Kyle, which read:"I slept off yesterday and that's why you didn't see a reply from me. Good morning, sunshine. I am certain that you are awake by now, because I can feel the warm sunlight reaching me over here. Have a nice day, sweetheart."Mira blushed after reading the message. She didn't check any other message because she had seen the only message which turned her whole day into a beautiful thing. It was a really nice thing. Mira went to the bathroom to have her bath, which she took time there, then she went downstairs to watch TV or do anything else to make her day even more fun."How was your night, Mira?" Mirabel asked, from the kitchen."It is one of the best nights I've ever had in life." Mira smiled as she twirled and sat on the couch like a princess."I thought as much. When I checked up on you, you were sleeping soundly."
As Kyle got to where she was and tried to make her stand, she started laughing and then she clutched her arms around him. “Gotcha!” She giggled, feeling happy that she was able to get him. “So, you tricked me. But that’s cheating.” He said as he stood up. Mira laughed the more. “All you said was to catch you if I can and I can use any method to catch you, since there were no rules, so it isn’t cheating.” Mira closed her eyes in pride and feeling victorious. Kyle laughed at how Mira had outwitted him in the least way he expected. ~ An hour later, they left the beach and went to a street, wearing hoodies, so they won’t be recognized. They ate street food which was really delicious. They also went to a game hub to play games. Mira was happy that she had fun, not just with anyone, but with someone that she had crushed on for years. When it was evening, they both went to a river bank and they had removed their hoodies as no one would see them clearly in the night. The breeze caressed
Mira was uncomfortable with what Andrew had asked for. She didn’t like the idea of allowing him to give her a ride home as she didn’t want anything that could cause a misunderstanding between her and Kyle.“I’m sorry, I’ll prefer to walk back home on my own.” She said as she tried to avoid eye contact with Andrew.“Why? Is it because you are still feeling weird about the rejection stuff? Or you feel that won’t be a good idea, since you want me to look somewhere else.” He asked as he tried to make eye contact with her.“No, you do not have to think far about this. I just do not need a ride. Try to understand this, Andrew.” Mira said, looking a bit frustrated as she finally looked into his eyes.“I just want to be certain that I have not lost points or make you feel like you do not want to be my friend anymore because of what happened between us.” Andrew said, peering into her eyes like a lost puppy.“No, that’s not how it is. You are still a friend to me. A good friend.” Mira assured a
I’m glad you aren’t.” Mira responded, pinning her hair to the back of her ear.~They had talked for a while before going back to the office to eat or do any other thing. Although, the conversation seemed platonic at some point, but it was still obvious in some words he said, that he was still very much interested and he sounded like he was still going to make many more attempts.After work that day, Mira went home in excitement and unfortunately, Mirabel was around and was with Brandon.“Brandon? You came today? After all these while.” She rolled her eyes as she joined them in the sitting room.Afterall since she'd decided to play dumb about Brandon being a cheat, she had to act the part as an excited sister-in-law, right? “You do not have to be annoyed. I am so sorry, it has been work taking all my time, but I am here now.” Brandon apologized sincerely, with his palms together that Mira nearly gagged.“It’s fine. You are forgiven.” Mira said, with her eyelids closed in pride. “Mir
