“I hate you so much, I can’t stand the sight of you.” He said, his face etched with irritation. “Alright. I will try my best not to be in your sight.” I replied, attempting to walk away but stopped when he spoke. “And who asked you to leave?” “You said you cannot stand the sight of me so I’m making it easy for you?" I replied, looking everywhere else but him. He let out a dry laugh, taking a step towards me and now standing in front of me, his height towering over my small frame. “Yes, I can’t stand the sight of you but fuck, I hate that I want you so bad.” ——————— Desperate to save the only family she had left in the world that cared about her, Mirabel Walter is forced into a marriage with a man from her past that had done nothing but make her life miserable, worse still, he was back with even more misery all the while being everyone’s favorite person.

We were currently at the company career is for lunch. "Beauty." I heard the voice of the man named Josh and I still didn't turn. I could hear footsteps from behind me until I finally got the see the Face of the man who was now standing in front of our table.He was tall and that was the only thing I noticed because I didn't bother to look at his face while I devoured my food."When did you return from your leave and why didn't you tell me?" Beauty asked. They had both hugged earlier when he came and now she was back sitting while he stretched his arms to pull a chair towards our table so he could sit. "I resumed today. I wasn't supposed to but I had to since I didn't have anything to do." He answered."You are quite the hard worker, aren't you? Instead of using your whole leave, you decide to come to work. I have to give it to you Joshu
MIRABEL"Babe." The young lady called, now wrapping her arms around Giveon whose hand was firmly in his pocket now, still giving me a hard glare. "I asked a question, didn't I? Why am I not getting any response?""Who is she babe?" The blonde is asking instead, saving me from having to tell him to his face that I had to stay out of the house until night because I didn't want to see him. "She's the girl that lives with me." He replied, now referring me back to "the girl." But I don't take offense simply because I was starting to get used to it."Oh. The one who is supposed to be your wife?" She asked, scrutinizing me from head to toe that I felt like I should disappear at that moment. She knows he's married and is still around. Did he promise her marriage afterward? That he was going to get me to divorce him so that they would be together?As much as I wanted to conclude that she might be playing a huge role in the reason he wants my life miserable, I couldn't do that, not after wha
MIRABEL"Wait what!" Beauty screamed and I had to place my palm over her mouth, preventing her from making my noise as people were now looking in our direction.We were seated in front of a coffee shop close to the office. Since we were closed for the day from work, we decided to go there to speak as she noticed that I wasn't happy.The first question she asked me when she saw me was if I was fired to which I shook my head in response.She asked me what had happened and I honestly tried not to tell her but she wasn't going to let it be I couldn't yet tell her that he was my husband so I told her about the fact that he was my high school bully."You mean you went to the same school as him? I think he knows it's you and that's why he hired you and that's why he's still torturing you but why would he do that?"Before I could speak, she was already speaking again. "I can only think of two reasons. One, you offended him in the past and him badly or he likes you."I almost choked on my cof
MIRABEL"Are you going to speak or should I force the words out of your mouth?" Firstly he was standing too close, secondly, he was whispering in my ears in a way that made me feel slightly uncomfortable. I've never been this close to a man before but somehow his presence made my heart beat faster than normal."My…" I began but he cut me off."You don't learn now, do you? I've told you to stop trying. Stop trying hard to get me to look at you but somehow you don't listen. It seems you love my attention so much, isn't that it?""I… that's not true," I replied, my heart beating so loud that I wondered if he could also hear the rate at which my heart was beating. "Then what is true Mira." I shuddered at the sound of his voice when he mentioned my name for the first time. He has always referred to me as a girl. I never thought hearing my name from his mouth would sound so good."My skirt…. It…""Yes, your skirt is too short and it is barely covering your ass. Are you trying to seduce y
MIRABEL"Is it that you've never had a boyfriend or you don't want to have a boyfriend because I'm certain that lots of men would have wanted you." If only she knew my story but I didn't bother talking much about it. "I don't know. I just didn't have men lining up for me and besides I had lots of things to focus on so even if I did have, it would have eventually ended." I replied."That's true but now you are all set. You should try dating but then again don't take my words seriously and don't bother if you don't find the right person because trust me when I say that it's not worth it when you mean useless people." She sighed deeply. "Take me for instance. I still believe in love. I believe that the love I read in books and watch movies still exists and that's what I'm holding on to hence the reason I've chosen that until I see that love, I'm going to focus on the fun aspect and that's sex!" She cheered after her last word and I chuckled.I glanced at my wristwatch and in panic mod
MIRABEL"This is wrong! What the fuck have you done? I asked for you to arrange them all accordingly to how it should be but somehow you managed to make it worse. The details is evident and all you have to do is arrange them like you do in school. What is wrong with you!" Giveon shouted at me, throwing the papers all in my face.I swallowed the knot that formed at the back of my throat. To say I was tired would be an understatement. I was more than tired. I was exhausted and frustrated. Since morning I've been going all over it and trying to fix it but it's like every time I present it to him, it just gets worse.I was holding myself from crying because I was close to crying. He was shouting and now I didn't know how to pick it all up and restart because I'd done it every way that I could. Would it make me a bad person that I was recording him while he shouted at me? After the third time that he shouted at me, I chose to record him."You are so dense and dumb. I can't even stand you.
MIRABELI had the best first day at work all thanks to Beauty. We exchanged contacts and after office hours, we met up.She wanted to shopping to get new clothes because she wanted to change her wardrobe. I would have refused but because I was enjoying her company, I followed her. We ended up having fun while shopping and she got me some matching slippers with her.She said it was the start of our friendship and she prayed for me to not lose my job or she'd go crazy. The thought of that made me a little sad but that motivated me to do so well so that Giveon wouldn't get angry. After his morning schedule and he left for whatever he had in the afternoon, he didn't return to work as he asked me to handle everything.I didn't know what exactly to do but I was certain I tried my best. When I got home, I was feeling full as I ate some street food with Beauty before we went our separate ways."You look excited," Miranda commented, walking towards me with her walking stick.I smiled at her,
MIRABEL"I'm so sorry sir. I didn't intend for this to happen." I apologized, taking a step closer to him."Just stay right where you are at!" He chided and i halted on my track more like froze."You didn't intend to?" He scoffed. "Don't lie. You knew what you did. I clearly stated that and for you to remember everything else but not my coffee is enough that you wanted to ruin my day. Now I have no good coffee which means no good morning!" "I can quickly make another one for you," I suggested."Just get lost." He stated firmly.He was outright rude but I had no choice but to keep shut. I hated being scolded or yelled at, it was enough to trigger my tears but while working at different places to earn money for my mom's treatment, I had to get used to it without having to break down. "What are you waiting for?” He growled. "Do you need me to drag you out of my office myself? Leave." He snapped.I walked out of his office. Once I was out, I leaned at the door to calm my heart. It took
MIRABEL"You must have forgotten that you are a married woman. Coming back home by this time of the night? Where did you go to?" He asked.For someone who had his own life, he was sure interested in mine way too much, or maybe that was his way of making me regret getting married to him; a marriage I already regretted before I got into it."Where were you?" He asked again when I didn't give him a reply to his first question."Are you not going to give me an answer?" He chastised."I went out." Came my simple response.He let out a dry laugh, taking some intimidating steps towards me. "I don't think I gave you any rules when you entered this house, or did I?" He shook his head."I doubt and that's why I'm going to be giving you rules because there's no way that I'd share the same house as you and not show you your place." I swallowed the invisible lump that formed in my throat now that he was standing in front of me. I thought all the fear that I had for Giveon ended in high school bu
MIRABEL “Your mother’s insurance doesn’t cover her immunotherapy so that’s why you need to pay up.” The doctor said to me with a much calmer tone than the others. I was seated in front of him, holding on tightly to my pants as my mind raced with the possibility of losing my mother. She was all I had left and losing her after we had just lost Dad, I would never survive it. “I understand this is too much for you and that’s why I am suggesting you ask a relative for help. Anyone? A friend? Family?” He asked and I shook my head as I fought back the tears that threatened to spill. It was just the two of us, no one else. “Listen Mirabel, your mom doesn’t have much time and that’s why I am advising you to find someone that can help, it’s the only way because you can’t possibly raise such an amount on your own.” He advised. He was right, I knew he was right but there was no one else. There was really no one else. As I made my way out of his office and towards my mom’s room, the t...
