MIRABEL“What?” My mother voiced out in shock when I finally revealed to her that I was married.“You are joking, right? You can’t be married.” She tittered.“It’s as you’ve heard.” It was my grandfather that spoke.“What do you mean she’s married?” She asked my grandpa. “ Who are you married to? Where is he from? What does he look like? When did you get married? Why did you get married? Last I checked you were fine and good so what happened?” She asked, her eyes on me as she waited for answers.I honestly didn’t expect the conversation to go easy but somehow it was worse than I imagined. I didn’t know what to say to her. I didn’t know Giveon returned last night because I ended up falling asleep as my heart was hurting too much from thoughts of what he could be doing and where he could be. “Can you stop playing with me if this is a prank? Last I checked it’s not April so what’s with this? How can you be married and I’m unaware? Just how? You’ve never had a boyfriend before or perhaps
MIRABELI became slightly nervous when Giveon volunteered to teach me how to play golf. My grandpa had excused himself to speak on the phone but I knew that it was a lie and he had done that because he wanted to give us some space.Joe on the other hand had to do the same too now leaving Giveon and me.He asked me shortly after if I knew how to play to which I confirmed I didn’t. Things were still tense between us and I haven't gotten over the fact that he called me a slut.“Alright then, I'll teach you.” Came his response as he walked towards me.He stood behind me, taking hold of the club that was previously in my hand.“First, let’s start with the grip, okay?” I nodded my head to his words. The club is the first step in it. You first of all have to hold it as if you are shaking your hand with it. Your left hand should be on top and the right hand should slightly overlap. Is that clear?” He demonstrated and I nodded my head, doing as he had said with his assistance.My skin burns fr
MIRABELWe sat silently in the car as the driver drove to the golf course where we were going to meet my grandfather.I haven’t spoken to him since I left the office earlier yesterday. I was surprised he let me go. The kiss somehow has been playing in my head since yesterday. It was the second time he was kissing me and although it wasn’t a deep or real kiss, it somehow bothered me.Why did he kiss me? Was it to taunt me? It didn’t make sense to me as to why he’d treat me how he felt, accuse me of being what I was not, and kiss me because he wanted to prove a point.I sat at the end of the seat in the car, looking out through the window and trying to while away time. I couldn't wait for us to reach our destination so I got out of the car. I was feeling a little uncomfortable already.After what seemed like a painfully long ride, we finally arrived at our destination. I made my way out of the car, seeing my grandpa already waiting for us by the car park. I rushed to hug him. My grandpa
GIVEON JAMESON POVFuck! Fuck! Fuck! I mentally cursed myself when I had to kiss her to shut her up. I hated how I was going crazy and didn’t know how to handle my feelings.I was always good with handling my feelings and had good self control but that was until she came back into my life. It felt so messy that I had no idea how I was feeling.Was I angry with her? Yes. Was I hurt by her? Yes. Do I hate her? I want to but I cannot and it’s seriously driving me crazy in a way that has me many sleepless nights.I haven’t been able to get rid of that image seeing her so close to Chris and they are close to kissing. I hate Chris so much! He knew just how much I liked her and went after her and she fell for him instead.I hated that I considered him my best friend and he went behind my back to ask her out and she fell for his charms and worse, he recorded her while they had sex and showed everyone in school, I was so disgusted by it. He did nothing but humiliate her but someone she had fee
MIRABELStarting from the beginning of today, I knew it would become chaotic. From him rejecting the coffee and asking me to get him some sweet beverage instead to him complaining about every work I did and asking me to redo them.I couldn’t even have lunch because I had work to do and he told me to have it done before 1pm so if I wanted to get it done without getting into trouble, I had to do as told even at the expense of my belly. Beauty called in sick today but I knew it was a lie.She had too much to drink and woke up late so she decided to act sick so as not to come to work today which meant she had no one to help me.I spoke to my professor asking for some help but he was yet to reply. Time difference also played a role in why he was yet to reply.It was exactly 1pm when Giveon returned to the office, his usual bland expression masked on his face. I stood up from where I went with the edited copy of the documents he asked me to look into. I followed behind him into his office.
MIRABELFor some second, I thought it could be my imagination but I was wrong. It wasn’t my imagination. Giveon was kissing me and I didn’t know what to do because in all twenty-four years of living on earth, I’d never kissed a man before so it was new to me.“Kiss me back.” He groaned hoarsely, his voice making me shudder but I didn’t do as told as he continued to aggressively kiss me.“So you won’t kiss me right?” He pulled away, glaring at me and leaving me confused. What just happened? The man who promised me hell the day of our wedding had kissed me but it didn’t seem like he kissed me because he wanted to but for some reason I had no idea about. “You would have kissed him if I didn’t show up, wouldn’t you?” He uttered, his tone laced with venom making me frantic.”I…”“I saw how close the both of you were. You let him close. You wanted him. Don’t you dare deny it?” He pointed accusing fingers at me leaving me more confused than I already was because I had no clue what it was t
MIRABELAfter he introduced me to Mr. Walter and his wife, Giveon kept his distance afterward and it wasn’t like it affected me because I was happy that he stood up for me.Thinking about it, he did that because he didn’t want anyone to know of the nature of our marriage. I didn’t fail to notice the look on the Face of the lady and I honestly liked it. The second half of the event continued and I could finally understand what was going on. The event focused more on the awareness of kids with eye problems and how expensive the treatment can be. They wanted donors that would help them with the money for it and I, in particular, was interested.Most kids in the orphanage were having issues with their eyes and there was a need for money to be able to cater for the kids. After that part, they took a break as usual.“I’m going to use the restroom,” I informed Giveon but he didn't seem to acknowledge so I left the restroom.After using the restroom, I made my way out only to meet Chris stan
MIRABELChristopher James and Giveon Jameson were known names in the school. I have been hearing their names since I got admitted into the prestigious high school for only rich kids on scholarship.Although I’ve heard of them and seen them, my presence was never noticed by either of them until one day. That was the day that changed it all and I went from the girl who was barely seen to a well-known figure simply because Giveon Jameson took an interest in me not for the reasons you might think but because he saw me as the perfect person to make fun of.“Why are you so skinny? Here. Have some milk and cake and eat more vegetables and fruit.” Giveon dropped a cake, a small carton of milk, and a parfait for me on my table where I was having lunch. I looked at him with tears in my eyes because everyone was now watching and I felt so embarrassed. I didn’t want his food. I already had mine even if it wasn’t much.I had a toast in my food flask and a bottle of water with me and that should b
MIRABEL“You look gorgeous in this outfit. Damn. It reminds me of my younger days.” Miranda complimented, staring at me. I walked towards the standing mirror to take a look at myself. Dressed in a strapless sequin silver dress that fitted my body so well, accentuating my curves I hadn’t noticed had gotten bigger. From my mid-thigh, the dress had a slit until the end, revealing my not-so-very-long legs. I looked really good so I wondered if I was the one in the mirror because of the makeup and how good I looked. Miranda had done a great job preparing this dress for me and also assisting me with my makeup. For a girl my age, I didn’t have many pictures or videos of myself looking this good. Even on the day of my wedding, I didn’t look happy because I never wanted to get married to him. For some reason, I felt really good today and happy. “I’m sure he’d be blown out of his mind the seconds he sees you. You are lovely.” Miranda complimented again. “Thank you so much and you’ve done
