Mirabel got scolded for coming late by her boss, who threatened to fire her if the pattern repeated itself. She went on to do her job, and just like always, she got pretty good tips from her customers. She was feeling very tired from all the work Zane made her do in the house, and also from lack of sleep, which was the worst of all.Jones saw how tired she looked and offered to help her with the serving while she took the orders. Jones is a co-worker of Mirabel's in the restaurant. He has always been Mirabel's close friend. She tells him everything, so he knows about all she's been through. Even the maltreatment she used to receive from her stepmother and sister, he was aware of that too."God I'm so tired, Jones," Mirabel said, sitting on a chair She decided to take a break when the place became empty. Jones was sitting beside her; he could see she was tired."Why are you looking so tired? Did you do too many chores today? " Jones asked."Just like always, my whole body is weak," Mi
"I don’t know, but she seems close to him," Dan replied."You may leave now," he said, standing up to go into her room . He got to her room and she wasn’t there He paced to and fro, waiting for her to show up.The door opened and it was her. She looked like she was lost in thought, but he didn’t care anyway.She entered the room and was about to enter the bathroom without acknowledging his presence. "Who was that guy?" Zane asked her, stopping her."Which guy ?" she replied, turning to me "The guy you talked with today at your workplace," I yelled at her She kept mute, not talking . Zane moved closer to her."He’s just a friend," she muttered "I know just what to do. It seems you don’t want to listen to me." he said "I could buy the whole place and make him suffer, but it's just useless. Nevertheless, I'm going to do it. I heard you work in a restaurant. I'm buying the whole place and I don't want to see you step foot in that restaurant ever again. " Zane said coldly."What! "Yo
***Zane's mansion***Mirabel rushed to her room and locked herself up, she cried her eyes out for. She thought about how hard and messed up her life has been ever since she lost her mother.From her stepmother and sister's maltreatment to the bitter life she is leaving now, she had thought Zane would just marry her and leave her to her own business, but things went the opposite way.Zane got home and was told about Mirabel locking herself in her room the whole day, but he cared less"Zane, what did you do to the young lady?, she has locked herself in her room the whole day" madam Claudia asked"I didn't do anything to her" Zane rolled his eyes and left.Madam Claudia had prepared dinner since Mirabel refused to come out. Zane came down and met only madam Claudia at the dining table"Where is Mirabel?" He asked"She is still in her room" madam Claudia said, dishing out his food"Theresa, tell Mirabel to come down now!" Zane said coldly"Yes sir" Theresa bowed and leftTheresa went up t
"Hello stepsister, or should I call you Mrs. Chucks now?" Clara said sarcastically."What are you doing here?" Mirabel asked with a frown.“I didn't come here for you. I didn't even expect to see you here. I'm here for Mr. Chucks, "she said with a knowing smile.Zane looked up for the first time since she entered, wondering why she was here to see him. He doesn't remember having any business with her."If you may excuse us , we need to talk," Clara said Zane gestured for Mirabel to leave, playing along with Clara's little act to get to Mirabel. Mirabel left them and decided to look around the company.She had heard and seen news about it on the television and in the newspapers, but she had personally not been there ever."I can't believe I'm working in this place," Mirabel said when she finally got into the elevator at the company.The elevator opened and she came out of it. "Hello, are you Miss Mirabel?" A lady asked her to"Yes, any problem?" She asked"No , I was asked to show yo
"Wait, do you mean she is the one you went to see with your parents? The daughter of that family friend of your father's? " Reagan asked. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Can you stop talking about her already? " Zane said "Goodness she is damn hot, Zane. You are one lucky man, you know. But what is she doing here? " Reagan said "She is my secretary," Zane said coldly. "I hope that's not what I'm thinking. Why would you make her your secretary? I told you all the ladies are not like your ex, "Ronald said, trying to make Zane reason with him. "Did you come all the way here to talk about this?" Zane said, getting annoyed. "Fine, I'm sorry for getting you pissed. I just came to check up on you, "Ronald said. They got engrossed in a serious conversation, with Reagan teasing Zane all the while. Evening*** Mirabel got home and quickly prepared Zane's dinner. She had left with the company at exactly the time all employees go home, so she was privileged to get home before Zane to do the cooking.
"Mirabel!, Mirabel!" Zane called her name as her eyes went closed in his arms. He didn't care about her, and never had he considered her his wife for once, but he couldn't watch her die in his hands.No answer; her body went limp too."She really passed out?" He thought worriedly."What to do?" He asked himself"Are you a fool? , "Take her to the hospital," a part of his mind said...He heaped her up in his arms, carrying her out of the office in a bridal style.He came across Bella just immediately after he came out."Boss!, Mirabel!" She almost shouted, shocked to see her that way. She looked lifeless in his arms."Press the elevator button," he ordered.She pressed it and he entered the elevator.Bella entered with him and took them downstairs.The door opened once again and he came out, rushing to where the car was parked.His guards surrounded him as he placed her in the car."Get in," he ordered Bella.Bella sat beside a lifeless Mirabel in the backseat.She held her hands fearf
His eyes caught the ring on the table.He took the ring box and opened it.It's nice.He took it out and checked it out.He wore it on his finger and it fit perfectly like a wedding ring.He quickly removed it.“What am I doing? I didn't even wear my supposed wedding ring, so why am I fantasizing about this one? " He scoffed.At the hospital,Mirabel woke up and after studying her environment, having seen that it's a ward, she sprang up."Girlfriend!" Bella said "How did I get here?" She asked directly, remembering she fainted." Your boss carried you out of the office in his arms, down to his car. He came here with me. He left just a while ago." she replied."Boss carried me?" "I'm dead," she said "What exactly happened?" Bella asked.I'm sorry for not telling you, but it was my menstrual cramps again. But he added to it, I mistakenly spilled coffee on him and he punished me by trekking to the central mall and getting him anything. He didn't allow me to take the elevator either. "S
Three months later, Today is Valentine’s Day. But to Mirabel, it's just a black day. Not a day of everlasting love, but a day of grave loss. It's her mother's death anniversary. On this day, years ago, her mother died in a car crash when a drunk driver slammed into them when they were returning from her grandparents' house. Every year, instead of spending this day with a partner, she spends it with her friend, Jones, who is more like a brother figure to her. After her mother's death, her relationship with him strengthened a great deal. Since she had no peace in her own father's house, he became her comforter. He is her soul to rely on, her shoulder to cry on, the one to catch her when she falls. Due to her lack of friends, her only friend became her brother. She has trust issues stemming from too many betrayals, and so now she doesn't trust anyone very much. But her best friend is someone she can just open up to, someone who’ll never judge her and always have her back. He’s h
