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.

    "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.

    “How dare you slapped me?” Zane roared. Mirabel came to back to her sense, Oh know what have I done?” She thought to herself. “I am. Sorry, I shouldn’t have done that but you crossed your limit. I am not a whore.” She said and left. An entire month passed with Zane and Mirabel being angry at each other, still staying as strangers in the same house. Zane’s continuous ranting has reduced. He spends every waking second working, trying to avoid her for the time being. She might turn a blind eye to his ego, but she has enough self-respect to never allow him to keep tarnishing her image and disrespecting her personality as long as they are in the same house. Zane and Mirabel don’t talk. They have mutually agreed to ignore each other until the end of their lives. Yes, the end of their lives. Want to know a secret?

Is she for real? What’s wrong with this woman?She looked at her supposed husband to see if he would say something to defend her, but he continued eating like nothing was wrong.Mr. and Mrs. Chucks looked at her in utter disbelief. They opened their mouths to say something, probably to tell her off, but she didn’t want them to fight on her accord, so she beat them to it."I’m not changing my body for anyone," Mirabel told her in a matter-of-fact kind of voice, with her poker face on."And don’t worry, Miss Marie, your dear nephew is well satiated."She said . But she wasn’t done with this bi

    Mirabel and Zane left their parents' mansion, and Zane began the drive home.He was angry, but so was Mirabel. The atmosphere in the car was tense and suffocating, so she rolled down the window to let some cool breeze in.The tension between them was so strong that it was possible to cut it with a pair of scissors. Zane was so angry at the action she took in his family house that she had no right whatsoever to insult his aunt.After a long, awkward silence, Zane spoke."You can’t speak to any of my family members like that."Like what?" she asked innocently."You know, like what? You insulted and offended my aunt in her own home. She was so hurt. "He yelled at her, his hands gripping the stirring wheel so tightly that his knuckles were white."I didn’t say anything she didn’t ask for."

She is not so shameless that she will stick around in a place where there is no respect for me, not even a little at all. Almost an hour has passed, and Mirabel still hasn’t reached home. Zane had been waiting all along, watching out for any sign of her. "Should I call her?" No, she left on her own, and I'm not supposed to care.But then, it was a lonely area.
