Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance chapter 42
Adrian’s POVI 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 don’t know me,” he sa
Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance chapter 46
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
Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance chapter 45
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
Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance chapter 44
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
Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance Chapter 43
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
Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance Chapter 42
Adrian’s POVI turned around fast.Mira had just stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, her hair damp against her shoulders, her eyes going wide the moment she saw me standing in the middle of her room like I owned the place, which technically I did, but that was beside the point entirely.“I’m sorry,” I said immediately, already moving backward toward the door, “I didn’t know you were in there. Get dressed, I’ll wait outside. Just call me when you’re ready.”I stepped out, pulled the door shut behind me, and stood in the corridor.I pressed my back flat against the wall and stared straight ahead at nothing, and focused very deliberately on breathing at a normal pace like a normal person who had not just walked in on his wife stepping out of the bathroom in a towel.The image was not leaving my head.I rubbed the back of my neck and looked at the ceiling, and told myself firmly that it was three seconds, i
Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance Chapter 33: Flash Marriage
Mira's POV I stepped down from the cab, my eyes scanning the Civil Affairs building. What the hell was I doing? ***A few hours ago***“Mira, Mom.” Ann’s trembling voice rang out through the phone, " She's at the hospital." I sprang to my feet. And without thinking twice, I rushed over. The doct

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
