All Chapters of Mira Reckoning: Love, Lies and Inheritance: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Mira's POV The ride back to the Reeze Estate was one slow ride. My heart palpitates in my chest with every second that passes. My gaze fixed on the window beside me as I pressed my lips together. But I was a disaster. A mess. My insides burned, my thoughts swirling around how he had become a hero again to save me. How he whispered, I called his name. ‘Adrian’, the name stuck. My thighs were clenched together, and I knew how wet I was down there for my new boss. I just cannot wait to get to the Reeze Estate and run out of his presence. My head slowly turned to see what he was doing. His gaze was fixed on the road, and his long fingers held the steering skillfully. And I wondered how those fingers would feel deep within my wet pussy. ‘Mira!’ I mentally screamed at myself. Get your shit together! This man literally just saved you from making a fool out of yourself. And this wasn't the first or the second. He was always there. Clearing my throat, I

Sex explicit. (18+)Joseph's POV The room suddenly shrank around me. My breath uneven, I tried to maintain composure. I tried to calm my heart, telling myself that this was a lie— another of Mira's tricks and games. But the more I tried to convince myself of that, the more Julie's words cut through my heart like a knife slicing butter. “Fuck! She signed it." Grinning from ear to ear, “This is what we have always wanted." She walked hurriedly towards the drawers, opening them one after the other. She came back after a while, handing me a pen, “Sign it, come on, sign it already." My eyes narrowed.Sign it? I was supposed to be happy and just sign it. After all, I have been waiting for the day I would divorce her anyway. I should just take the pen, sign the divorce papers, and tell her father she insisted on the whole thing, and it wasn't me. But I couldn't. I looked down at the paper, then at Julie. “I can't." The words flew out of my mouth before I could stop them. " What

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 engine. " My name is Mike,” he said as we merge into the traffic. " Mira,” I replied. "Oh yes, I know.” He chuckled lightly, " Sorry about Selena. She can be that way when she feels… intimidated.”My brows lifted." Intimidated?" I repeated slowly. Selena cannot be intimidated by a former dry cleaning worker, so I don't think that was the case. I brush it off. Whatever her problem was, it wasn't mine. " Maybe that was just a test,” I concluded. Mike looked at me, amused, " And did you pass?” “I think I did." I grinned. Mike shook his head, smiling as we spoke a bit more about work before we finally got to the Reeze Estate. " Wow." He murmured, "You literally live here?” I hesitate

Mira's POV The air was tense. The movie on the TV was still on but no one was watching anymore. Joseph's gaze shifted to Julie, more like a communication than a look back at me. “Julie and I have nothing." He hissed through gritted teeth, “What else do you want to hear?!" I ripped my wrist from his grip, without caring if it hurts. His eyes burned with anger, but I met them without flinching.Taking one step at a time towards him, slowly, “Really?" I asked coolly, "Because your position with my sister when I came in just now didn't look like anything to me.” His eyes widened— caught. Before he could find his voice, Julie's voice drifted from behind him. It suddenly turned fragile and broken,“That wasn't Joseph's fault." She took a step forward, wrapping her arms around her shoulders, “I was cold, and I didn't know when I just—”Her voice faltered, her head lowered,“I just needed some warmth." A smirk curled on my lips. Maybe I would have believed this lie some months back,

Mira’s POV“Mira, you dare to ask for a divorce? You'd better find your way back to your husband’s house and beg for his forgiveness. I give you a week, or I’ll sell your Mother’s Diva Garden.”At 8 a.m., I sat at the dining table with grandfather. We ate breakfast quietly, but my mind was a mess. The message I had received from Father tormented me for days. The Diva garden is Mother’s most precious possession. Every Christmas holiday of my childhood was spent there—laughter under lantern-lit trees, Mother smiling as if nothing in the world could touch her. She had always dreamed of seeing me get married in that garden.Joseph had rejected the idea without hesitation.Now Father was using it as leverage. He kept showing his true colors as the day went by.“Dear, so about our discussion the other day,” Grandfather began, and I sighed, feeling a headache coming just by the start of this conversation, “Have you thought of it?”I suppressed a sigh. Everywhere I go, there is a problem.
