***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
…………….. This time around she had decided to fight for herself. She was tired of everything She had vowed to stand up for herself, not ready to tolerate any form of disrespectfulness any longer, not even from Zane. Her grandparents had offered for her to take over the company in her mother's family. Her grandparents are quite rich too, but they handed the company over to Mirabel since they are old now. One week later, her law firm was opened. She invited many big shots and even Zane came. She was at the party that her law firm had thrown to celebrate the new merger. The little known fact about her was that she had studied law before going to Harvard to study business. So she had a law firm set up alongside her grandparents' company. Many of their high-profile clients, big shots and people from the elite section of society were here. Mirabel was dressed in a dark red, one-shouldered dress that reached below my knees and had a slit that reached up to my mid-thigh. The dress hugged
"As I had informed you earlier, I wanted you to meet with my client today, the one you’ll be representing," Mr. Kane carried on. Mirabel followed him as he led her to where two men were standing, deep in conversation. Suddenly, she had an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She chose to ignore it and listen to what her new boss was saying. They reached the men, and Mr. Kane cleared his throat, and the two men turned towards them. Mirabel froze in her place as he stood before her. The man who she spent so much time hating, the one who hurt her so badly, who broke her and caused her so much pain. He was the reason she didn’t believe in love. She had hoped she would never have to see the face of her ex-fiancee ever again. And then the words that came out of Mr. Kane’s mouth were the ones she was dreading to hear. "Mirabel, meet Mr. Roman Hunt, your new client." "Hello Mirabel," said the deep voice that belonged to the tall man in front of her. She recovered and greeted Mr. Hun
