Underneath her sorrowful gaze, Mira watched her mother lay pale and almost lifeless on the bed. Her mother was running out of time. She didn't really have a choice here. Marry the ruthless and hot billionaire Arnold Steward for a year in exchange for her mother's treatment. Teary-eyed, she signed the contract without an ounce of idea that her life was about to change dramatically. Would Arnold be a nightmare or a blessing in disguise? "I would make your life a living hell, Mira!"
view moreMy eyes were swollen red with tears. I have begged the monster to let me go, but it seems my pleas are falling on deaf ears."I thought we wanted to have a friendly conversation, so why are you doing this to me?" I managed to ask."You are supposed to disclose a secret to me and not try to harm me. Tell me why you are doing this to me," I ask him angrily. The only thing flashing through my mind is the reason why he would want to harm me."Can you shut up already, flirty bit*h? Because if you don’t keep your mouth shut, I will make sure I silence you forever," he grunts, letting out an evil smirk.Anyways, I have already called your darling husband, and I’m sure he is going to accept my terms and conditions because he wouldn’t want to see his wife dead, so there will be no reason for you to thank your stars because your stars will be thanked by him."Can you please take off your face mask so I can see your face? At least I want to know who you are," I mumbled silently for the first tim
The day dawned earlier than expected. I’m already on my way to meet the one who knows all my secrets, and I am also ready to know him to the core because I won’t be a fool anymore. I feel Arnold is hiding something really dark from me, and this is the right time to find out what he has been hiding from me.I have planned on how to get out of the house this morning, and one of the ways is by lying to him that I am ill if he's going to inquire about anything from me because, so far, so good. He doesn’t really care about my well-being.But the question now is, How am I going to leave the house even if he believes my lies? Since I married him, he has never let me step a foot out of the house alone, and I am sure he must have given the gateman orders to never let me out of the house, but nevertheless, I am going to leave by all means.From my window, I watch as his car drives out of the compound. "This is the right opportunity for me," I whisper to myself, heading into the bedroom to take
"Answer me, Mira, who were you speaking to?" His voice hit me once again, and I stammered out nothing in particular. I try to let out a word, but obviously I can't."I am sure I heard you speaking with someone. Even if I didn't hear your conversation very well, I can swear you are speaking with someone," he urges further."I am speaking to myself, Arnold; when I am angry or frustrated, I end up speaking to myself." I defend myself to my own surprise; I was not expecting to come up with something that quick."Really?" he asked with a raised brow."Of course, I am sure," I blurted."I want you to return to the room, Mira; I just want you around the room. I don't appreciate it when you stay here, and what about my shoes? Have you taken them from the maid?" he grunt."No. I will do that right away." I walk away to the maid's quarters.Arnold Pov.....I watch as she walks away, like a tiny mouse hurrying away from a hungry cat. I watch her with admiration. I am beginning to see the good in
Mira Pov.....As soon as he is far enough that I can't hear the echo of his footsteps anymore, I move to the door, clicking it to lock immediately. I need to execute my plans before he gets back in here. What was he thinking? that I will let him go scort-free after what he did to me? What if I have died or been attacked by kidnappers and rapists? He wouldn't be saying sorry then.I walk to his wardrobe, and, surveying the room for the last time, I pull out one of his expensive shoes, heading straight to the bedroom. In the bedroom, I jam the door shut.Standing in front of the bathtub, I now pull the water system open, dipping the shoe into the already water-filled bathtub. For a while, I watched with a wicked smirk as the water covered a good amount of the shoe. Satisfied, I pull the shoe out and lock the tab before walking out of the bathroom with the shoe still in my hand."I am sure he is going to scream the house down after finding out what I did to him." I giggled inwardly, and
Mira Pov....."Nice to have you around, and I must confess I really enjoyed your company. I hope to drive you around soon; it will be a great honor, really." The driver says as soon as he drops me right in front of Arnold's house,"Thanks so much, and I really wish I had cash with me; I would have paid you handsomely." I spill with a sweet smile and watch as he nods his head, and with a sweet smile, he drives away.I am all alone now, contemplating whether to knock on the door immediately or wait for the gateman to notice me.I decided to give it a knock at last. Slowly, I stretched my hand towards the gigantic gate, giving it a light knock and waiting for the gateman to pull it open immediately.And like expected, the door pulled open immediately, and the gateman's head pierced out. I am not surprised that he knows it's me. I am sure he has seen me from the tiny television used to know who is outside the gate."Hope you are fine, ma?" he stressed, letting out a sweet smile."I am fin
Arnold Pov....."What's the meaning of that nonsense you did inside there?" I scolded her."What do you mean by these nonsense questions of yours? I believe you don't expect me to keep my mouth shut and watch them insult me and my family, do you?" She barks directly at my face, her eyes raging with anger. This lady is seriously a mad dog."If you have nothing important to say, you can just take me home and stop throwing stupid questions at me," she spilled further, getting into my car. I think this is the height of it all, and I will definitely teach this lady a really good lesson.Glaring at her for a second, knowing fully well I can do nothing to her, at least not here, I give a deep sigh, walk into the car house, make sure my seat belt is well positioned, and hit the road immediately.The evening wind invades our car, trusting our hairs to go in different directions. I watch as she tries to place her long, dark hair in order, but it seems the breeze is overshadowing her; it isn't g
"Get up, Mira. I need you to get prepared. You are going with me to the meeting with the press; they want to speak with you." I hear Arnold's voice in my sleep, making me spread my eyes wide open."A meeting?" I am already sitting up."Yes, it's by 8 p.m., and this is already 7 p.m., so get ready. Behind you is a new dress, a box of jewelry, and a new shoe. You know what to do with those," he said, walking away."He wants me to go to a press meeting with him this night? Come on! I have never done that in my life, and I am not ready to start now, but what can I do? I should know this is what I am signing into when I decide to get married to a popular billionaire.Lazily, I walk into the bathroom, have a really quick bath, walk out of the bathroom in a hurry, and head to the mirror stand, where I apply my lotion. After this is done, I walk to the bed to get the clothes he bought for me. I admire the beautiful yellow gown before I put it on, then the jewelry, before walking towards the m
WARNING: THIS IS STRICTLY FOR 18+ AS IT CONTAINS LOTS OF SEXUAL SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.Mira Pov........In his room, he pushes me to his bed roughly. I am already scared and regret ever stopping him, but I couldn't just watch him mess with another woman. But why do I care anyway? It's not like we are in love, but I couldn't just bring myself to watch him do that.I watch in horror and fright now as he pulls out a long chain from his wardrobe, along with a belt."What are you doing with that?" I question him with great fear and trembling lips, but his quietness increases my fears."Please don't do anything bad to me; I am sorry for messing with you, Arnold. I shouldn't have done that at first; I would have respected you" ."Don't just harm me, Arnold; I am so sorry," I plead emptily."Take off your clothes; I want you naked immediately," he says, walking towards the bathroom."I don't want to return here and still see you with clothes on," he says before jamming the bathroom do
Satisfied with my actions, I return to my room, ready to have at least a peaceful sleep. I am sure I will have a good rest now without being invaded by a hungry dog looking for somewhere to vent its anger.I lay on the bed for a while, my eyes closed to sleep.....,............I click my eyes open as the morning sun rests on them. A loud bang comes against my door, and my eyes swell up in fear. I think it's the banging of the door that wakes me up at first, as it's too loud."Just pray I don't catch you, Mira, because if I do, you won't live to spill my punishment on the world." When I hear Mr. Grumphy's voice from outside, I feel my head explode with joy."Go thank your stars. I didn't kill you in your sleep," I yelled back at him mockingly."You got exactly what you did for messing with me, Arnold; didn't anyone explain me to you at first?" I grunted further."Bitch! We shall know who rules in this house then," he replies, and the next time I hear the despatching of his footsteps,
