"Shit!" Miranda hissed and immediately got up from the bed when she felt a familiar feeling after she woke up. She rushed to their bathroom sink andpuked. She was puking but there was nothing that was coming out of her mouth. She even used her finger to let it out but there was none. She washed her face and gripped the edge of the sink. Then she looked at her face in the mirror panting. She had been like this for almost a weekalready. And she was familiar with this scene already. Because she had experienced this in the past. She went back to their bedroom andchecked the pregnancy test kit in the pouch. She just bought that yesterday when she went shopping with Brian. “Found ya!" She already found the pregnancy kit. When she returned to the bathroom and did what she must. She laid the kit on the sink then she walked back and forth to kill time. Her hands were sweaty and she could feel her heartbeat race. And after three minutes had passed, Miranda stopped walking and picked u
”Darling, do you want more? Do you want me to take you to the heavens above your head and make you touch the sky?” The man's low voice caressed her ears and his warm breath tingle her. His dark eyes seem to be a whirlpool of desires,drowning Miranda inside.Her face grew rosy as her heart skipped a beat for a splitting second, she raised her brows slightly, and just as she was about to answer , the man's phone rang all of a sudden.Their heated moment was instantly interrupted as Lucas scrambled to answer the phone. He picked up the phone and as soon as the line got connected, the expression on his face changed and the next moment he said on the phone, “My wife”, he said softly to the person on the other side of the line.“Alright. Wait for me, I'll come home immediately”.Hearing this, Miranda felt as though a basin of ice water was splashing on her at that moment. She felt a series of shivers runs down on her spines.She couldn't believe what she heard him say on the phone– She f
The wedding hasn't even begun when Miranda arrived at the exquisite large hall, but she arrived just in time to witness a romantic stage decorated with flowers. She looked around the beautifully decorated venue, and she felt a pang of pain lingering in her chest, but no matter what, she could never do anything to change this sad reality that she found herself. She had already understood that her current identity could no longer be comparable to his. Looking around the place, she couldn't help but feel the pang of pain linger in her heart finding it's way to her eyes·she only realized that she been teary when she raised her hand to her eyes and found out that they were moisty.The sight of these decorations could only remind her of her status in his life as well as the society at large.Her feelings for him would have to be disregarded as well.

They were jokes and nothing else.However, Mirabda couldn't bring herself to process and accept the insult hauled at her so casually. When reality, she has been doing everything to make sure that her sister lives. How could he address her as a social climber just like that?Miranda's chest rose and fell back instantly .“If I really was just busy doing that. Then , how could the Quentin Corporation end up in a state like this?” The pain in her chest could be felt in the tone of her voice as she stared up at Lucas, who was determined to humiliate her. However, she didn't want to hold back anymore.She wanted to yell out her grievances with a loud voice without minding what anybody thinks. She wanted to speak with a loud, carefree voice and the world will be forced to listen to the pain in her vo
CONTRACT MARRIAGE:04:Outside, Miranda was anxiously waiting for the pawn shop clerk to return and give her the news.She desperately wished that the ring was valuable enough to fetch sufficient money, but her conscience was also reluctant about selling the last possession, belonging to her mother. It was the only memory left of her.Just as she was indulging in series of battles within her heart, the pawn shop clerk returned.When she saw him, she prayed in her heart that he was back with a good news for her.

The loud echo from his cold voice rang in her ears as she tries to look up at him with uncertainty. Even though the man had said these words in a very low tone, she could clearly hear the reverberation of his words echoing in the room–It was as if he had shouted at the top of his lungs which in turn has been dribbling in the darkness.Miranda was shocked and she immediately froze in astonishment. It felt as though, she had heard the wrong thing by mistake.Perhaps, she was mistaken. This is because she has seen many lustful men, who only care about getting into her pants. She has never been asked to give birth to a child in exchange for her desires like this.This was the first and she was determined not to believe it.Miranda's eyes widened, but she thoughtthat she had just heard wrongly. She tried to look at the man for confirmation, but it was too dark to even make out his face."Did you hear my conditions? Or should I repeat it once more for you?"The man asked, this time with a

She was simply dumbfounded after seeing the pictures, she felt like her entire world was going to crumble at this point and that too right before her very own eyes, she felt helpless and weakness sprang all over her body–She felt a heavy weight pulling her body and soul down. It felt as if there was a log of wood tied to her legs since they became so heavy that she could barely lift them. She didn't move an inch after seeing thepictures on her sister's phone, But, theintention of the message was clear. Hersister, Amanda, had been manipulated bysomeone she knew, and she wouldn't let itpass. The first purpose of the message was to disclose the details of her dealing to her sister and they must have already perceived the fact that she would definitely react by coming out in search of her–Thinking of this, Miranda felt like she was the reason why Amanda was in this position. She wouldn't have left if she didn't see t

You promised to accompany me to work and stay by my side. You're my twin, how could you even think of leaving me behind like this? Answer me! How will I survive this work without the three of you?

You won't !” Miranda dragged the motionless body of her sister close to her body and cried bitterly. Tears fell freely from her eyes and she didn't bother stopping them. She never planned to anyways. Bitter tears flow down her cheeks and she wouldn't be consoled. Not even the sympathetic gaze of the onlookers could help with the immense pain that she was feeling.
