Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance chapter 48
Camille’s POVI had been walking back and forth across the room for the past thirty minutes, and I knew it looked exactly like what it was, frustration with nowhere to go, but I couldn’t stop because stopping meant sitting with everything that was sitting with me, and I wasn’t ready to do that yet.One week!I had been in this house for over a week now, and Adrian had looked in my direction exactly enough times to confirm he knew I existed and nothing beyond that. No conversation that lasted more than two sentences, no moment where I caught him looking, no warmth, nothing that even resembled interest. Every time I was in the same room as him, he found somewhere else to be within minutes, and when he couldn’t leave, he simply looked through me like I was furniture. The door opened, and Jessica walked in holding a glass of juice. She took one look at me pacing, and her expression shifted into something between concern and the particular kind of patience that was starting to feel patron

Adrian’s POV I was in the middle of reviewing a contract when a knock came. “Come in.” I gave permission without looking up. Heard the door open and close. Glanced up for a second to realize it was James. “Someone is asking to see you, sir,” he said, “they’re saying it’s urgent.” I didn’t look up from the document, “I’m not expecting anyone today.” “I know, sir.” I set the paper down and leaned back, “Send them in.” James nodded and disappeared, and I turned my chair slightly and waited, already running through who it could be. I had cleared my schedule deliberately today so I could focus, and an unannounced urgent visit was not something I had budgeted patience for. The door opened a few minutes later, and a man walked in. I looked at his face and felt something pull at the back of my mind; his face was familiar in a way I couldn’t pin down quickly enough, something about the structure of it looked familiar. He smiled when he saw me looking, “I’m guessing you do

Mira’s POVI was up earlier than usual. I didn’t even need the alarm; my eyes just opened, and my body was already ready to move before my brain had fully caught up, which was new. I couldn’t remember the last time I had woken up actually wanting to start the day rather than lying there negotiating with myself about getting out of bed.I got up, showered, stood in front of my wardrobe longer than I normally would, and picked carefully, a fitted pair of trousers and a clean blouse that sat well on my shoulders, I checked myself in the mirror more times than was probably necessary but I couldn’t help it, today felt like the beginning of something and I wanted to look like someone who knew that.My phone rang just as I was reaching for my bag, and I picked it up to realise it was Ann. I felt my face break into a real smile before I even picked up, “Ann!” I squeal. “Mira!” Her voice came through bright and loud the way it always was, like she had been saving up energy specifically for t

Joseph’s POVThe house was quiet when I walked in. I loosened my tie and dropped my jacket over the couch and stood in the middle of the living room for a second just listening maybe I’d heard any sound but I heard nothing , I took two steps at a time and went upstairs.Julie’s room was empty, her things scattered around the bed like she had left the house in an hurry. I pulled out my phone and called her number. It rang through and then dropped to voicemail.I tried again, but still the same thing. I dropped the phone into my pocket and went to check on Fiona, her room was empty too, bed made, teddy bear sitting on the pillow exactly where it always sat, nothing out of place, I checked the small sitting area beside her wardrobe and then turned back toward the door.I was about to leave the room to search for another place when I heard a sound from the bathroom, I crossed the room and pushed the bathroom door open and my heart stopped because Fiona was on the floor.She was lying

Julie’s POVThomas sat beside me and took my hand gently in his, and I kept my expression soft and my eyes slightly glassy, not full tears, just enough to make him feel the weight of it without overdoing it.“I found out late myself,” he said, his voice calm and genuine, “By the time I knew it was already done, there was nothing I could do to stop it even if I wanted to.”“You could have called me,” I said quietly, “just to let me know, I’m her sister's dad, I deserved to hear it from someone who actually cared enough to pick up the phone.”Thomas squeezed my hand and opened his mouth to say something else when Aurora’s voice came from across the room, smooth and final.“Julie, that’s enough,” she said, not looking up from her wine, “you’ve made your point, go and rest, you look tired.”I looked at my mother.She looked back at me with that expression that said the conversation was over, whether I agreed or not.I stood up slowly, kissed Thomas on the cheek, gave him one last look tha

Julie’s POVI couldn’t sit down. I had been walking up and down the living room for the past twenty minutes, and I knew it looked ridiculous, but I couldn’t stop. The conversation with Mira at the restaurant was sitting in my chest like something I had swallowed wrong and couldn’t shift, no matter how many times I replayed it.I was supposed to win that conversation.I had walked up to that table with everything I needed, the right words, the right expression, the right amount of casual confidence that always made people feel small without being able to point at exactly what I had done, and Mira had sat there and smiled and walked out leaving me standing in the middle of a restaurant feeling like I had somehow lost something I hadn’t even realised I was competing for.That was not how it was supposed to go.Footsteps came from the stairs, and I looked up to see my mother, Aurora, coming down holding a glass of wine like she had all t

Adrian's POV “Boss, should I go in?" James asked for the third time. Should he? Mike dropped her off at home and left, but she came out a few minutes later. I was curious, so I followed her again. My eyes narrowed when I saw her step out of the school compound with her daughter. Now, here I am,

Mira's POV We walked into the apartment in silence. I didn't say a word after what she had said in the cab— I didn't think she would understand even if I explained it to her. It was better this way— I kept telling myself. The living room was dim. Too quiet. I held Fiona by the shoulder as we m

Mira's POV “Mira, this is Selena, your superior."I smiled at the woman before me, but she stood still, professionally, as she listened carefully to the man beside me. " Selena, this is Mira. An intern under you for the main time. Do well to take care of her.” My document was passed from the man

Mira's POV “Get in, new intern, I'll drop you off." A smile spread across my face. I recognised him instantly. He was one of those who didn't find Selena's joke funny earlier at the office. I pulled the car door open and entered." Hello. Thank you.” He gave me a short nod before turning on the
