~Mirabelle~"Mariano?"She shook her head, about to touch me when I stepped away, again. "Mariano? What has he got to do with this? Mom? Mariano?"She shook her head, tears falling from her eyes. "No, sweetie..I didn't...""I heard you clearly. Mariano! What has Mariano got to do with this? Why does everyone keeps telling me something about him indirectly? What has he got to do with this?""What do you mean everyone?""Earlier, Kaitlyn mentioned something about him. She said, 'you don't have to judge someone until you know who they really are. She also said, 'now that you've gotten a chance to know and understand him, you know now that he's probably not who everyone keeps saying he is'. What does she mean by that, mom? Why did she say something like that?""Shit. She doesn't know." She said, digging her fingers through her hair."Know what? Know what?! Know what mom?! Even Gen said something similar. What is all these?! What's going on? Did something happen that I wasn't aware of? Who

~Mirabelle~Tears were streaming down my face as my grip tightened on the steering wheel."What are you talking about? This place is about to explode and I'm not leaving you behind. We have to hurry, now!""I'm sorry, Belle. But I can't go with you. It's up to me now to put an end to the Lorenzo bloodline. And for that I'll have to burn with him."The tears were streaming down my face, this time harder."Even though it wasn't for long, at least I got to fulfil the promise I made to you when I was little. And that was protecting you for as long as I live. I love you, princess Belle.""I'll call you Ditto! That sounds like a nice name.""No, it sounds like a dog's name.""The princess who saved the boy in the woods? How fantastic!"God, I was going insane. I was losing my sanity, oh God. With one hand still clinging to the steering, I used my other hand to ruffle my hair. I was going crazy."Listen, Belle, what ever happens after this. Promise you'd trust me.""Oh, I'm Mariano. The guy

~Mirabelle~I stayed an extra day at the hospital. My friends visited. After that day, I was discharged and taken home. My family home, actually. Dad said I needed good care and then he asked me to stay with them for a few days. At first I hesitated, but later, I agreed.So here I was.Back in my room, with Gabriel by my side, telling me all about the movie we were watching despite the fact that we were watching it right now, he still wouldn't stop ranting about it. "You do know I'm watching the movie right? You telling me about it beforehand is only going to spoil the fun.""I know but I don't want you to get confused. I'm only doing you a favor you know. You're too stubborn, Mirabelle. And stubbornness gets people in trouble more often.""Oh yeah? So now I'm taking therapy sessions from you now?""Just say thank you and I'll leave you alone.""Yeah, thank you! Leave me alone now?"He stared at me then gave a small slap on my back as he got up from the bed. "Yeah, right. You sound j

~Mirabelle~"Ma'am, two plates of Jamaican rice along with two plates of Tandoori chicken skewers." One of my waitresses informed me."Alright, coming up!" I got up and headed for the kitchen. After the order has been delivered, three other waitresses came to inform us of other orders and we hurried up and delivered.The restaurant had been officially opened for business about a week ago and ever since then, it had been orders upon orders. I even had to make several deliveries to other small diners and for today, we were almost done with packing orders for other eateries."There's uh...waffles, Belgian. There's pastries, cakes, beef and chicken sausages, fish rolls, meatpies, tenders and also some sandwiches." Betty said, reading the outline of the special orders for me. "Is there anything else you'd like me to add?""No, I think this will do for the now.""Yeah and we've got some special home deliveries made, Paul is attending to that but I don't think he'd be able to handle all deli

~*Mirabelle*~About an hour later, we were pulling up at Hyde's Management. For a second, some sort of nervousness engulfed me. But this wasn't my first time going in there after my resignation right? So why the hell was I feeling nervous now?"Come on," I felt Mariano squeeze my hand and we walked in, one of his arms draped around me."Mariano, oh goodness, you're late!" Gen was the first person to welcome us. "Good thing I made a silly excuse for you. Come on," She suddenly had her arms wrapped around him as they were walking inside. "Hold on a second. Mira? What are you doing here?""She's here with me. We're both attending the meeting together.""But Mariano, she no longer works here. I don't understand, you're---""Mira is now my girlfriend, Gen."Her mouth dropped in shock. Then her gaze went from me, back to Mariano's. "What? You two are dating?""Yes."She had a scowl on her face. "And you didn't bother to tell me because...""We'd only be seeking permission from you so there

~Mirabelle~"Mira!""Mom, just let it go! I told you, I don't wanna talk about it!" I said, walking down the stairs."You're forbidden from seeing that guy or even talking to him!""Mom, you can't stop me. I am nothing like you because unlike you, I don't hold back from the people I love and care about. Unlike you, I'm not a weakling, I fight when I love someone and you can't stop me from being with Mariano, no one can.""Goodness, Mira, how many times will I have to say this to you... loving him is dangerous! Listen, you have no idea what you're in for when you get yourself acquainted with that guy.""Well I'm prepared. I'm prepared for anything. Let them come. I'm ready.""Jesus, Mirabelle...." She ran her fingers through her hair. "Mira, you---""What's going on here?" I lifted my gaze and saw dad. Quickly, I dashed to his side and stood behind him. "Dad, mom's trying to stop me from going to my own apartment again.""Trying to stop you from going to your apartment, Mira, I'm only

Genevieve~"Hey,"I lifted my gaze to meet that of Ryder's. "Hey, Ryder, what are you doing here? Planning on getting into a fight again? Well, just know this time around, I'll be overexcited to let you die.""You've been avoiding me, Gen, at every turn.""Well, isn't it obvious? I don't want to see you face. Ever again. Just leave me alone. What more do you want? What more do any of you want?! Mira has already taken everything away from me. Everything. Including him."He helped himself onto the chair close to me. "Him?""Yes, him. Mariano! The man I loved! Or thought I...loved. Look, I don't know anymore. He's always been there for me and to think that I no longer have any right to him is just so upsetting. Well, I still do have some rights towards him but it's just so fucked up. I'm tired, Ryder, I really am. I'm tired of everything."He collected the glass of liquor grip. "It's okay. I'm right here if you still need someone. I'll never leave you alone, Gen."I stared at him. "How c

~Mirabelle~After the arrival of the celebrant, cutting of cake, toasting of wine and all that Jokes and comedies, I watched in tears and excitement and Kaitlyn broke the news to Wesley by using all forms of symbols to divulge her arcane. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and Wesley surrounded by the most important people in the his life; his wife, children, parents, friends and relatives. His family. I couldn't be more happy for him. It was time for the ballet dance and I watched as Wesley led his wife on stage. Dad did the same thing with mom too. Others followed. I was surprised when I saw Ryder."What are you doing here?""Gen mentioned the party to me last night and she said I could show up.""Oh. That's so sweet of her." Although I wasn't in the mood for a discussion, I wanted to rile him up a bit. "And by the way, seems you two are pretty close now. It's funny how life plays with you, isn't it?""Mira..""Anyways, enjoy. I'm happy for you by the way.""Mira, It's

~Mirabelle~Few days later"Dad, are you done?" I asked him and when I looked into his plate, he had indeed finished his food."I told you I would get this all over with."I smiled, taking the plates from him. "Yeah, but you're kinda full of surprises sometimes.""How couldn't I? When I have my mother here all the time?" He said with a sly smile.I smiled. "Very funny. Need anything else? You know you can tell me if you do.""No, thanks. I'm good.""Alright, I'll go drop these off at the kitchen then."Few days later after that incident at the hospital, we had dad moved here to a private hospital where he has some of the best doctors attending to him and now all I could say, was wow. He had gotten a lot better and he was even due for discharging but mom wanted him to stay here while she go get everything ready at house. And secondly, she didn't want his wound opening up. The moment I stepped out of the room, I saw Phil who smiled at me before going into the room, shutting the door be

~Mirabelle~I rubbed my hands together as I watched him heat up the fire in the living room. "God, this place is... really cold." I said, wrapping my arms around myself. Despite the heavy jacket I was wearing, I was still freezing up. It was probably because I had spent too much time close to the sea."It's a waterfront mansion, what else were you expecting? It's normally hot in the day. And very cold at night.""And it's pretty lonely too. You live here alone?"Silence. "I normally come here when I feel pretty lonely and out of the world sometimes. And by the way, how on Earth do you keep finding me all the time? Did you install a tracker in my phone?"I shook my head. "What? No! No, I didn't.""Then how did you find me?""Had a little help." I said without meeting his gaze.He examined me suspiciously. "Oh, I almost forgot. Your dad produces tracking devices too. You probably got some help from one of his lapdogs, didn't you?""They're not his lapdogs. Neither are they mine. They're
