~Mirabelle~ I burst into the room with Mariano following from behind as I dashed into the bathroom to puke my liver out. I had been finding it very difficult to breathe toppled with the wave of nausea ever since my meeting with Gonzalez and when I drove into our compound, he was standing there. Waiting for me. And so I just ran past him and went straight for our room. I knew he'd follow and so I just ran straight into the bathroom and tried locking the door but he was too strong. I had vomited all over the bathroom floor before I could even see the strength to hold the door any further. "That's it. I'm calling the doctor." He walked out and just before he could get hold of his phone,I grabbed him and started pleading with him. "Please don't. I'm fine now, I promise." "You're fine?" He stared at me in shock. "You're fine, Mirabelle, you're fine? You're not fine. Something is wrong with you and you're not letting anyone know about it. Why is that exactly? Tell me, huh? What exactly

~Mirabelle~"Thanks for showing up." I said to Ryder the moment he opened his car and was about to get in. "It really means a lot to me, you know."He smiled down at me. "I'm glad I was able to help.""Hey." We heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Gen. I smiled and hugged her. "Hey. I'm the happiest you're here today."She tucked a strand of hair off my face. "It's the least I can do for my twin sister. Glad to be a part of... KGroup."I smiled. "I'll introduce you to everyone tomorrow. Gonzalez would be...a little shocked if not surprised. Think you can haunt the hell out of him?""Oh you underestimate me a lot, twin sister." A smirk was playing on her lips when she moved past me and got into the car with Ryder."Are you sure you don't wanna catch a flight with me? LA is like an hour from here!" I said, just as Ryder started the engine of the car."Don't worry! Ryder and I have an unfinished business to tend to somewhere around here!" With that, the car drove off.I was

~Mirabelle~"Good morning everyone." I greeted as I made my way into the boardroom.I only got replies from few persons so I just smiled and took my seat. The meeting had already started. I had just taken my seat when Gonzalez walked into the room and took his. My eyes met his and there was an unexplainable expression on his face. That had me almost gritting my teeth but then I remembered my plans with my new crew on taking him down. His days here are numbered. He wouldn't last long here anymore."Mr. Gonzalez," Dad called out his name with a smile. If only he knew. "Welcome. Please take a seat."He didn't even welcome me like that."Mr. Lee Jung," he called on the CEO of this branch. "Let's start the meeting please.""Wait!" I said, making each and everyone's activity come to an immediate pause. "We have someone new here in KGroup I would like everyone here to meet."The doors slid open and Genevieve walked in. Even dad was surprised."Everyone, I would like to introduce to you, Ms. G

~Mirabelle~ I slipped on my nightwear as I got up from the bed. "Hey," Mariano turned and blinked sleep out of his eyes. "Come back to bed." I smiled. "In as much as I want to, I have work to do today at the office." He groaned. "Mira, how many times do I need to remind you--" "It's just some rounding up to do. Before Gen takes over." "Oh." "Yeah." I smiled. "Well then, if you're such in a hurry, why don't you come over and let me say goodbye to my princess first?" I smiled as I moved closer to him and lifted my nightie up. He ran his hand over my bump and started placing feathering kisses all over my belly. "Don't give mommy a hard time, okay?" I smiled as I dug my fingers through his hair. "Don't worry, she won't." The moment he uttered those words, I leaned down and pressed a kiss to his lips. "I love you." "I love you too. Take care. Don't forget to take your bodyguards alone and be home safe." "You too." ~ "Mira, you're backing out?!" Gen yelled at me when I told he

Eight years later.*NEW ZEALAND*~Mirabelle~"Mama, I'm going to be late for school!""Almost done, honey!" Quickly, I rushed out holding a flask as I handed it over to her."Geez, take it easy. I didn't ask you to run a marathon." She chuckled as she took the flask from my grip. "You know what mama?"I glared at her. "What?" She was the reason I hadn't gotten a good sleep because I slept late and now I had to hasten up to prepare breakfast for her.She chuckled. "Stop glaring, you look less pretty when you're glaring. I've told you before, haven't I?""Go ahead. Lecture me. I think it's been long I had a good lecture from you."She broke into laughter and for a moment she sounded like her father. Of course she would. She looked like him anyways just that she got her eyes from me. Blue eyes."Come on, mama. You know I deserve some credit from you. After all, I'm the reason you got all my teachers in school as your customers. They all say you make the best meals in town.""I know that.
