Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mira’s Return : Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Gerald’s POV. I tossed as I tried to wake up. My head was spinning and my eyes were shut. “Gerald”, I heard my father’s voice. I tried to walk away but the voice became louder and it kept repeating like a radio. “Gerald, it’s me” I woke up in shock, sweating and panting. Kaira held my hand with fear in her eyes. “Are you ok?” She turned on the bedside lamp and got out of bed to get me water. I gulped down the content and tried to control my breathing. “Gerald, you are scaring me” her voice broke and it crushed my heart. “What is going on? This is the third time you are having nightmares in a week”. Kaira was right. I am getting scared to sleep properly. My late father and my past had traumatized my sleep. “Honey, will you talk to a therapist?” She suggested. I looked at her and nodded against her suggestion. “No! I will be fine”. Kaira frowns. “Will you at least tell me what is going on? You are scaring the shit outta me”

I looked at Kaira walk out cluelessly. I had no idea what she meant. “Kaira?” I followed her. “What do you mean please?” I held her hand. She wiped her face and looked at me. “Mistress. I don’t want to be known as a spoiled mistress. I love you Gerald and I loved being spoiled by you. But I don’t want to be known for that”. “You know what?, enough of me. You have to rest”. She shoved the conversation. As she walked to the closet, I sat down with a sigh. I hated to think that she would leave me because of Fernando. “Gerald, Gerald”, she tapped me out of my nap. I opened my eyes and she smiled at me in her sexy lingerie. Seeing Kaira wiped out the memory of the long day I had. “Go Freshen up”. She instructed, as she turned on the Tv. I moved closer to her and leaned over to sniff how good she smelled. “Are you serious?” she laughed. “Get off me, you bee”. She pushed me playfully. “No” I held her closer. Kaira created a room

“What?” She looked at me with disbelief. “Are you serious?” Her voice cracked. “Babe, " I said acting CEO”. You have to impress me and the board to make it permanent”. Kaira jumped on me and got extremely emotional. “Gerald, you are amazing” she sobbed softly. “Babe”, I pulled her and held her face. “This is a big responsibility. I need to groom you for it”. She nodded and hugged me again. I was happy she was happy but there was uneasiness in my stomach. Kaira is fragile and I fear it might be too much for her. “Easy” I got on my feet and she stood up too. “Kaira, we have a lot of work to do. Starting tomorrow, you will be going with me to the office. I am scared”. I whispered softly as I walked towards the stairs. “Honey, I promise not to let you down”, she sounded so convincing. “Come on, I will learn fast and impress you”, she tried to cheer me up. Kaira broke protocol, she was the first person I hired without background check

Gerald asked me to get enough sleep but I couldn’t. I was a child who waited for Santa. As Gerald slept, I went online and searched for Abj’s new board members. I was learning fast from Gerald. I needed to know the kind of tigers I was going to be having in the room. Gerald remained the king maker. He was by my side and I knew I was safe but I need more than Gerald to be on my team. 6am, I woke up filled with joy and fulfillment. “Good morning sunshine”, Gerald held my waist as he picked his toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet. “Good morning king maker”, I walked out of the bathroom. I had saved the best outfit for this day. A red Zara suit. The trouser fitted perfectly. I wore a cream inner sleeve before adding the red blazer. “Aren’t you stunning?” Gerald leaned on the door. He had a proud smile on his face. “You are going to be one dangerous woman” he winked at me as he walked out. I was filled with accomplish

“Good! That wasn’t so hard, was it?” She smiled sweetly at me and offered me juice. “Mira , you are getting consumed” I whispered. She snugged her shoulder and went back to her seat. A few seconds later, her facial expression changed. Before I could speak. Gerald walked in. “Harry?” He called me with a slight nod and a suspicious look. “Babe?” He looked at Mira who looked like she was being maltreated. There was a lot going on and for the first time, I was glad I found out the truth. She wasn’t anything like the innocent and simple woman I fell for. “Gerald, I was about leaving”, I stood up to leave but he stopped me. “Harry, look into Kaira’s legal team for me and made recommendations please”. Hearing Gerald ask so humbly, bled my heart. He was caring for a woman who was about to rip him off. I looked at Mira and she looked at me like she had nothing to do with me. “Why don’t you do it , Gerald! You won”. Gerald moved c
