CHAPTER ONE “Miriam, Miriam” I heard my name being called as I ignored the caller and continued walking. Towards where?, you might ask, I have no idea either, I just wanted to get as far away from josh as soon as possible.Josh, as I said his name I felt uncontrollable tears fall from my eyes again blinding me. I didn’t see this coming, I never expected the kind, caring, shy, and innocent-looking Josh would do such a thing. If a look could determine who wasn’t a cheat, Josh would have passed with flying colors. Yes! That was exactly how innocent he was or so I thought.He had been cheating on me for months now, I had the hunch, I was told but I never believed it. I wanted to pay him a surprise and celebrate our second anniversary together. Didn’t know I was the one in for a surprise.I had a thing for Rich guys. My goal after I left high school was to go to college, bag that degree, and get myself a Rich boyfriend or sugar daddy. I came from the trenches and I wasn’t going back there.
CHAPTER TWO Miriam's pov It's been days Alicia hadn't spoken to me, unless I 'quit whatever relationship going on between I and her brother' as she so puts it. Jokes on her cause I ain't doing shit. It's been a week after the party since I last saw Nathan, he haven't texted nor called. I was beginning to think what ever he felt has faded off. Could Alicia have convince him I wasn't good enough?. I don't know what else to think aside that, who collects a lady's number and not give her a text or a call for almost a week unless they'd lose interest. My stomach grumbled loudly, I stood up from my bed and decided to take a showed first before eating. I was in the bathroom when I heard my phone ring, luckily for the caller I was done bathing, I wrapped myself up in a bathing robe and came out. I picked up my phone it was an unknown caller, who could this be? My heart jumped at the thought of Nathan giving me a call. Finally! I smiled. "Hello" I said into the phone eagerly. "Hi, is thi
CHAPTER THREE Miriam's pov Nathan and I have been couples for three months now, Alicia had moved out of our dorm room the moment she heard the news about Nathan and me, I could care less.Nathan purchased a penthouse for the both of us, so I moved out of the dorm. There was no use staying there when I spend most of my time in the penthouse anyway, most times I stayed alone in the penthouse when Nathan went off on one of his business trips.I was alone in the house today, I have been alone for a week now, Nathan was off again, I was bored out of my mind and I decided to call Stephanie. Steph, as we call her, was a lady from my Neighborhood who I met when I decided I wanted to rip off those Rich guys. She taught me the art of seduction and how to up my game well."Hello," Steph said into the phone after a couple of rings."Hello Steph, how have you been?" I asked starting off with greetings.Stella laughed out from the other end of the phone " Come on Miriam, I know you wouldn't call i
CHAPTER FOUR Miriam's pov I shared a look with Steph as josh got in. I became scared hoping he didn't overheard our conversation."Good Morning, Sunshine" he greeted as he kissed my forehead, that's a sign right?"Good morning," I muttered "what's up with the face?" I asked him, I want to be sure the face wasn't because of me, of what I said.He sighed " I just got off from a call with my assistant, yesterday which I decided to have fun, she wasn't able to reach me and I just lost a business deal that was important to me" he said. Oh thank God!, I let out a breathe of relief, I thought he heard us."I'm sorry for that" felling sorry for his loss."It happens sometimes, just part of the risks in business" he said and I squeezed his shoulder in comfort."I think I should take my laeve" Steph suggested, I knew what she meant by that statement."No, it's okay, breakfast is ready, I came to wake up sunshine, didn't know I would meet you here, if you don't mind we could all go down togeth
CHAPTER FIVEMiriam's povI stood there in shock, I haven't done anything wrong…yet. I sighed as I followed him to the bedroom.Nathan raised his head up immediately after he noticed me in the room, shutting down his laptop as he kept it on the desk."So where were you last night?" He asked"I went out with my friend Steph, just as I said earlier" I answered and he nodded"Was that Reason enough for you to have ignored my call?" He asked"I am sorry Nathan, I didn't notice my phone ring and I definitely would have called this morning, but I didn't check my phone," I said wanting this whole saga to be over.He sighed "it's fine, please just don't get into another fight with Alicia," he said as he pulled me closeI nodded as I hugged him and shut my eyes, "I have missed you" I muttered, "Same here baby, same here" he responded Then his phone rang "I will be right back, I need to take this," he saidI changed out of last night's outfits into loose-fitted pants and a tank top. I sat on t
Chapter sixMiriam's pov"Hello Alicia" I said as I gave her a wide smile"What is she doing here?" She asked looking at Vincent, ignoring me"She's my girlfriend and dad invited us over for dinner" Nathan answeredShe scoffed as she turned to look at me."Dad trust me, if you want to invite someone to the house, she shouldn't be the one""I believe, I asked you a question Miriam?" Vincent said ignoring Alicia"My father was an absentee, I don't know much about him, he left when I was in high school" I replied"Don't you mean, he left when he find out your mother was a whore, who sleeps around with men for money" Alicia thundered. I get it, she was mad I am going to use her brother, no sister would want that for her brother, but dragging my Mother into our fued was a low blow."Alicia, I wasn't the one who fucked with your none existence relationship, it's not my fault if you can't keep a Man, it would do you good if you focus on how to keep a man the same way you're so focused on my
Chapter 7Miriam's povIt was already evening and Nathan still wasn't back, I hadn't left the room as I didn't want to get into another fight with Alicia.I decided to begin my preparation for the date. I went for a short black pencil skirt that had a slit at the left side, the slit wasn't big though and a white floral lace crop top, I had curled the tips of my gair so i devidec to let it down, i applied an eyeliner to bring out my eyes, then I put on a black high heels to complete the look, I completed my look with a red glossy lipstick, I gave myself a once over as I stared then did a full turn to the mirror. I must say I was impressed by my look.I took a pic as I sent it to Steph "how do I look" I texted them smiled waiting for her response I grabbed my my black purse set to go. Josh had already texted the address of the diner to me'I would say you are out to kill' Steph texted back with an heart EmojiI put my phone into my bag as I stepped out of the room"And she's out for bus
CHAPTER 8 Miriam's Pov “Oh really?” I asked. “Babe honestly I am sick and tired of Alicia meddling into our relationship, since she came here we have been fighting” I stated turning to Nathan. “I am only interested in your relationship because you are toying with my brother and he’s too blind to see it” she said.“Alicia stop it” Nathan thundered“ I choose to be in a relationship with her because I love her so you have to respect that” he said. “You only choose to be in a relationship with her because she only portray her deceptive side, you don’t even know her, you don’t even care to know about the real her, The real MIRIAM!” Alicia yelled, if she was a cartoon character, you would see the smoke coming out of her head. “And what other side do I have?” I asked calmly, too calmly if you ask me.“The one that was about to fuck another guy today” she said.“It’s clear that you have nothing to say” I responded. I was a very skilled liar, lying is more of a natural thing or should I sa

Steph asked meShe switched on the light as I looked round me"Where is this place?" I asked her"Miriam, you're in the hospital, you got hit by a car" She told meI touched at my stomach as I felt nothing was in me no more"You were battling to stay alive, and the doctor couldn't save the baby and you, so Liam choose to save you instead" Steph told me"Where his he?"
