Mirabel finished changing and went downstairs for dinner, she met only madam Claudia in the dining room, no sign of Zane at allThough he told her he is fine but she doesn't trust him what if he was lying just to make her feel betterShe was still thinking when she saw him coming down the stairs in his usual shorts and shirt, she smiled when she saw him approaching the dining room, and Zane returned the smile when he got to her"I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting," he apologized"It's okay, you are here already so we can just start eating," madam Claudia saidMadam Claudia stood up and dished out the food for the both of them, they all started eating as silence took over the whole placeOnce they were done eating madam Claudia offered to take the dishes to the kitchen. Mirabel immediately gave Zane a sign with her eyes to take the dishes insteadBut it seems Zane was not getting the message clearly and madam Claudia smiled at them, happy at how fast they have gotten along even if
This is like the second plate he has broken if she remembers clearly, Zane turned around and looked at her giving her a sorry look"You know what just sit okay, just sit I'm done with everything so let me do the dishes too before you damage all the plates in the kitchen, you have caused enough mess already just sit and watch me," she saidShe moved to where he is standing and took his hand offering him a seat which he took, he was getting tired himselfHe sat down and watched as she washed the plates and carry them with so much care, something he didn't do that's why he kept breaking them anyhow"Are you good at everything ?" Zane asked"I'm not good at everything, everybody has his or her own flaws, why did you ask?" Maribel said"You seem to be perfect in everything unless someone chooses to have a problem with you, you don't give anybody a reason to hate You and you seem to be good with everything. the first day I tasted the food I wanted to compliment you but just like always I fe
Zane looked at her hand that is holding his and then back at her "Nothing I can remember, could you help me with that?" he replied "You promised to tell me about the reason why you had blood in your shirt," Mirabel said "Oh did I?" He asked surprised "Yes you did," Mirabel replied, rolling her eyes in annoyance "I thought I told you not to worry about it, it was not my blood though. Don't tell me you have been thinking about it all this while," Zane said "I just couldn't get it off my head. You need to give me an explanation for that or I'm not letting you go, " she said, still holding onto his hand tightly Zane looked at how she has entangled her hand to his so tight and smiled, her hand looked so tiny compared to his hand. It made it look like Zane is the one holding Mirabel's hand not the other way around as it was expected to be. "There is nothing to worry about, I just took care of the person behind your kidnap. That was the blood of your kidnapper, not mine," he said "M
***A week later~ Royal organization**Jesse and one of the gang members got into the same car, the guy happens to be the mole in the royal organisation, whiles the remaining other members got into a different carHe drove off as the rest trailed after him, he drove till he reached the juncture where he will pick up Zane who is already waiting for themHe got in the car and the silent drive continued, Zane smiled at Jesse as he got in the car and Jesse returned the smile though it still baffles him how fast his boss has changed, he kept stealing glances at him for any unusual behavior till they got to the exchange pointThey got out of the cars and stood beside their cars waiting for their exchange partnersSome minutes later a car drove in, the India exchange partners came out of the car. Jesse stayed behind, standing beside Zane as one of the gang members went ahead to take the bag of diamonds from their exchange partners. they finished taking it and the other party had left alrea
"I'm sorry ," she said amidst tears and went on in bringing out the bullet, she inserted the knife in the wound once again and twisted it pulling it with so much effort bringing out the bulletZane screamed so loud , making him jerk on the bed as blood started flowing from his arm dangerously ,she quickly got the towel when the bleeding became too much, cleaning up the blood. she got the disinfectant and poured some of the content on a cotton wool before wiping it on the wound making Zane grunt in pain, Mirabel wiped off the blood and dressed the wound very neatly, she patched it and bandaged it like an expect.Reagan moved Zane so that he was sleeping on his stomach with his back facing mirabelle , she did the same thing she did to the wound on his arm to the one on his back and after sometime she was already done with dressing all the wounds"I will leave so that you can help him change his clothes ," Mirabel said and packed the things she brought for the treatment taking the
"She's gone now . now say what you want to say and leave before I start losing my temper," Zain said coldly sending shivers down your spine"Like I said it's about the organisation and the safety of it, it seems you're not as competent as I thought you were because there's a lot of faults in your own organisation which you haven't noticed or maybe you are just not paying attention to the organisation. I guess you never wanted it in the first place, all you care about is your company right ?" Vivian said with a sly smile"Did you come here to give me lectures or did you come here for a purpose ? Do not waste my time unless you want me to waste you," Zane snapped, his eyes turning red with anger"Maybe you have to serve me as a visitor I am, get me some soft drink," she demanded sitting comfortably on one of the couches in the living room"There is no room for you here in my house to feel comfortable in, it will be best for you if you tell me the reason why you are here or I lose my c
Next morningMirabel got dressed, ready to go for work since she felt betterShe went downstairs and met madam Claudia already there, setting the table in the dining room as usual"Good morning ma'am," Mirabel greeted"Good morning Mirabel, how are you feeling today?" Madam Claudia asked"I'm doing good ma'am," Mirabel responded"I can see you are all dressed up for work," madam Claudia said"Yes , I need to go back to the office. I have stayed home quite long enough, I think it is high time I start working," she replied"That's good dear, here sit and have breakfast" madam Claudia saidMirabel sat down and madam Claudia served her breakfast, she thanked her and began eating silentlyZane woke up and went to the bathroom to have a shower, he came back to his room and dressed his wounds by himself. He got dressed for work and left his roomAs he was going downstairs, he stopped at Mirabel's door, he tried opening it but just like yesterday it was locked"Is she still angry at me? This
"I had no other option, he was the first person that came to my mind, so I just called him. You haven't answered my question yet, I asked you what happened to you ?" Joshua said"Maybe your guess was right," she said"My guess? wait, where were you kidnapped as I thought? who could have done that? did you do anything to anybody why would someone kidnap you in the first place? I don't remember you having any rivals or any quarrels with any other company so who the hell would do that? for what reason would someone kidnap you?" he said his eyes widening in shock"I was kidnapped by some men and a lady. I don't know what was going on, I was just coming back from the dinner I went to have at Zane's house it was quite late, but I decided to come back to my penthouse. on my way to my penthouse, I saw a car following me so closely so I decided to pass another route to my penthouse instead of using the previous one I used to pass, they caught up with me and drugged me. they took me to a place
