MIRABEL“What’s going on here?” The policeman asked again.“Please….”“Mr James.” The officer interjected and Chris walked closer to where we were at.“Officer Simon. It’s been a long time. How are you doing?” Chris asked.“I’m doing fine. What’s going on here and are you…”“There is nothing to worry about Officer Simon. She’s my girlfriend and we are having an issue so she doesn’t want to speak to me right now.” Chris lied and I glared at him.“He’s lying. I’m not his girlfriend. Can you ask him to stay away from me? Please take me away.” I cried, pleading with the officer to listen to me instead of Chris.“Come on babe. It’s just a little fight, you don’t have to deny me. I’m sorry.” Chris said, faking his tone.“I’m not your babe and stop calling me that!” I shouted.“I promise I won’t shout anymore. Please let’s go. I’m sorry.” He said again making me more angry and hurt than I already was.“Is he your boyfriend?” Officer Simon asked me.“He’s…”“She’s my girlfriend and I just ans
MIRABEL “Well, well, well, look who we’ve got here.”I shivered at the sound of Christopher’s voice. What was he doing here? I thought to myself as I looked around to see if there was anyone else coming.I had stopped by to get some pastries so I could eat when I got home. Instead of taking a bus, since the mansion was close, I decided to walk back home.“Looking beautiful as always Mirabel. Goodness, my pretty queen, I’ve missed you so much.” He said taking a step closer to me.I cringed so hard hearing those endearments from his mouth. What was he doing here and what did he want?“I saw you walking home so I decided that I might give you a lift. Come on, my car is over there,” he said pointing towards the direction his car was.“I don’t want to. I can find my way.” I told him, trying not to sound scared.He tittered. “It’s night and it’s not safe for a beautiful girl to walk alone at night. Come on, I’d drop you off. Besides, where is that husband of yours? How could he let you wal
MIRABEL“Good morning and happy Sunday my darling.”Miranda greeted me with a smile on her face.“Good morning and happy Sunday to you too,” I replied to her with a smile on my face.“Breakfast is ready. Giveon is waiting,” she informed me and I was quite surprised.“Alright. I will go brush my teeth, rinse my face, and join him shortly,” I replied.She left the room and I hopped off my bed to go do what I needed to do. Shortly after, I made my way downstairs to join him for breakfast. Giveon was seated, waiting for me which was surprising because, in the past, he’d been eating already from the rare moments of us having breakfast together. He was on his phone, engrossed in it. “Good morning.” I greeted before pulling back a seat for myself to sit on.“Good morning.” He replied.“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting?” “Not really,” he replied.Miranda served the food before joining us to sit. “How was work? I’m sorry I didn’t get to ask you soon. How has it been going in the sales depa
THIRD PERSON POV“It’s been two weeks now yet you have been incompetent! All I’ve asked for is that you find out every dirty detail about the James family! What’s taking you so long? What is it that is so difficult to find!” Isaac Harrison shouted at his men who had failed to give him what he wanted.He wanted to give justice to Mirabel and that’s what he has been doing. He couldn’t just come for the family without having more than one case against them and that’s why he was doing this. He was certain that Mirabel wasn’t the only victim of Chris and he wouldn’t rest until he found out for himself.“I’m sorry sir. I will keep trying.”“You are always trying. If by the end of this month I have nothing then you have yourself to blame for how I react next.” He walked out of the room, heading outside of the mansion to get some fresh hair and clear his head. He hadn’t spoken to his daughter for two weeks ever since she found out about Mirabel's marriage.They don’t have breakfast, lunch,
THIRD PERSON POVBeauty knocked gently on the door of Josh's apartment after ringing the bell and getting no response. It’s been a week since they last spoke and she hasn’t been feeling too well. She didn’t want the situation to turn out like this but sadly it did and she has come to fix it.Just as she was about to give up and turn around to leave, the door opened, and standing there was Josh with a towel on his wet hair, his boxer and a white t-shirt, looking surprised to see her because she was the last person he expected to come to his place.He was in the shower so he didn’t hear the bell ringing until he came out accompanied by a knock shortly after so he wore anything comfortable to be able to answer the person.“Hey.” He said, unsure of what to say to her while trying not to be rude.“Can we talk?” She asked.He looked at her for a few seconds as if contemplating what he should tell her. “Sure.”He didn’t want to speak to her, at least not yet, not because he didn’t want to bu
MIRABEL“Welcome to the Sales department Miss Harrison, Mr Jameson told me of your arrival. My name is Michael David and I am the head of this department.”“Thanks for welcoming me Mr Michael David, I'm Mirabel.” I introduced myself.We shook hands. “You don’t have to call me that. Just Michael would do.”“Michael then,” I replied.“Come, I will introduce you to the rest of the team,” he said, leading me inside.I was nervous earlier as I made my way to this place but the seconds Michael spoke to me in a welcoming tone, I felt a little relieved. I didn’t know what to expect as I’d never done any of this before and all my life was lost or focused on doing part-time jobs to earn a living. “Everyone meet Mirabel. She will be joining the team starting today. I want you all to be nice to her.” Michael introduced.“Mirabel, meet the members of the team starting with Justin,” he introduced. I politely waved at Justin, then he continued to introduce me to the rest of the members. “Alicia, Re
MIRABEL“He said that? For some reason, I’m in support that you should take it. That’s the most thoughtful thing ever but what led to that conversation?” Beauty asked.We were both in the company’s cafeteria. She noticed I’d been in deep thoughts and she asked me what was wrong and I told her what Giveon had told me without actually telling her much details.I told her he wanted me to transfer to another department instead of being his secretary to get more experience.Now that she mentioned what led to the conversation, I didn’t know how else to lie to her without having to expose myself to her. I hated that I had to lie to her but she’d never lie to me and was like an open book.“You know I’ve not been doing too well with handling his business as his secretary and personal assistant and he told me that since I didn’t have much experience, I should get them from starting from the bottom,” I answered and it came out smoothly although it wasn’t all a lie.“He said that? But why now? I
MIRABEL“What do you feel for him?”“What do you mean?”“You heard me,” I replied.I was asking her because I could tell that Josh likes her and it might not be deep to her but it’s deep to him and for some reason I also wanted to speak to him, to hear what it is that he felt about the situation but at the same time, I didn’t want to get so involved in it.“What do you mean what do I feel for him? I already told you that I don't want to be in any relationship. You know it’s all for the fun and what we did, it was wrong. He’s a friend I don’t want to lose and since we fucked, I don’t know what to do about it and I don’t want it to be awkward between the both of us.” She sighed.“Then speak to him. He might understand you. You are losing him because you’ve chosen to stay away from him. I don’t know but that’s stupid.” I remarked “I feel like I’m influencing you a lot and not in a good way.” She tittered.“You don’t like when you get a taste of yourself? Trust me you aren’t bitter.” I c
THIRD PERSON POV“What do you mean by that Mr Harrison? Is there anything wrong? You can tell me and I’ll fix it. Please have your seat first.” Mr Smith said to him.Isaac Harrison did as told and sat down. “Can I get you tea or coffee? Which do you want?” He asked.“You don’t have to get me anything because I haven’t come here for that. I have come here because I’ve been told something and I am not happy that you didn’t give justice.” Isaac Harrison said, confusing Mr Smith even more.He was nervous mostly because he had no idea what it was that Mr Harrison had to say to him and for him to come himself made it more disturbing. “You can tell me what it is and I’d be glad to fix it. Justice? I have always tried my best to be fair.” Mr Smith tried his best not to stutter in front of him.“And what kind of fairness are you talking about? The kind of fairness that doesn’t have to do with you having to choose the rich over the poor?” Mr Harrison chided.“I don’t quite understand sir.” Mr
