Two Jolly Cowards

Miranda hesitated. It was as if she were trying to control herself… maybe from saying something so hurtful. She couldn’t resist the urge in the end. “There’s nothing I wanted to say that I haven’t said… except that I didn’t appreciate you making a ridiculous sacrifice for me. This is my mess; I’d sort it out myself, so I’d advise you to sort yours as well before things get out of hand.” Her response even made everyone more confused. “Can we go now, really?” Miranda said to Colin. “Sure… yes… ermmm. We can. We should. They are bringing the car.” Miranda looked at Noah briefly. She looked disappointed. Same as Noah. He looked really hurt. “Noted. Let me know when you get home,” Noah said. Not sure who the statement was for because after what Miranda just said to Noah, Colin didn’t think it should be for her. And it can’t be for him either because they don’t do that before… maybe it was for Clara, he concluded. But then, Colin raised an eyebrow.“You aren’t going with us?”“

A Fool's Last Hope

The ballroom was still buzzing long after Miranda, Noah, and the Jones siblings had left.If anything, the atmosphere had become worse.Because Adrian Cole had completely lost his mind.“Delete it!”He pointed at a man holding up his phone.“I said delete it!”The man immediately took two more pictures.The flash went off.Adrian nearly lunged at him.“Are you deaf?”Another flash.Another phone.Another video.More whispers.More recording.More gossip.The more Adrian shouted, the more people filmed him.At this point, he was bleeding from the mouth, his shirt was disheveled, one side of his face was swollen, and his hair looked like he'd gone through a hurricane.Which only made him look even more entertaining.“Delete everything!”Someone laughed.Someone else whispered.“Keep recording.”Another phone appeared.Adrian looked ready to murder somebody.Unfortunately for him, the internet loved disasters.And tonight… He was the disaster.“Adrian.”Richard grabbed his shoulder.“Lea

Awaken to Bombshells

A soft knock sounded on Miranda's bedroom door."Miranda?"She stirred beneath the covers.The curtains were partly open, allowing sunlight to spill across the room.Another knock followed."Madam?"Miranda slowly sat up."Come in."The door opened, revealing Aunt Felicia carrying her usual warm smile."There you are."Miranda blinked sleepily.“I already said you should stop calling me that.” “But, you’re my ‘madam’ and my lady. ” Miranda smiled. "What time is it?""Late enough for your family to start worrying."Miranda immediately looked embarrassed."Oh."Aunt Felicia laughed."They let you sleep. Everyone agreed you needed the rest after the stress you went through at the event yesterday.” Miranda rubbed her eyes."How long have they been awake?""Hours."Miranda groaned."Nobody wanted to wake you," Aunt Felicia continued. "But now everyone is getting concerned because you still haven't eaten."Miranda pushed aside her blanket."I'll freshen up and come downstairs.""Good."

A Dangerous Suggestion

The room remained frozen.Miranda stared at her father.Mr. Jones stared back.Mrs. Jones stared at Mr. Jones.Clara stared at everybody.Even Colin looked like someone had just announced the moon was moving into their backyard."What?" Miranda repeated.Mr. Jones immediately raised both hands."Fake together, okay?"The room remained silent."Fake," he emphasized again. "Not real. I’m not going to force you into a relationship. I understand that you have to love someone to be with them. I mean… look at me and your mom…"Colin frowned. He knew his Dad was about to start telling the story of how they met. "Dad, please.""What?""I don’t…""Listen to me first,” he interrupted Colin. Mr. Jones set down his coffee cup."The entire city already believes Noah is the father of the baby."Nobody argued.Because it was true.One reckless declaration from Noah had already created a wildfire.Everybody is now talking about it. Mr. Jones continued."There’s no way we can deny that now without

Tell Me Something

For one horrifying second, he genuinely thought he might have to answer his mother's question. Maybe just tell her the truth; he’s still pursuing Melissa. Unfortunately, he had absolutely no idea how to answer it in a way that won’t make the situation awkward or complicate things for Melissa. She’s still Miranda’s best friend after all. And judging by recent events, it might have already been affecting the girls’ relationship.Thankfully, before he could embarrass himself, Mr. Jones stepped in."Oh, leave the boy alone."Mrs. Jones looked at her husband."What?"Mr. Jones shook his head."It's too early. They've just got together. Let the children enjoy themselves first. Don’t add the pressure of meeting the parents yet. That's exactly how parents scare relationships away."Mrs. Jones narrowed her eyes.Colin immediately nodded."Exactly, Mom."Mrs. Jones rolled her eyes. She didn’t exactly agree with them, but she had no choice but to let it go. “Don’t stay out late,” She reminded

His Confession

Noah stared at Colin for a second.Then another.Then he slowly rose from his chair.Colin frowned.“What are you doing?”Noah pointed at him.“Take three steps back.”“What?”“Three steps, Colin.”“Why?”“Because I'm worried about your reaction.”Colin blinked, his anger already building up. “Does this have anything to do with Melissa?” Colin asked. “Huh?” Noah was taken aback. “Is the person you’re in love with Melissa?” Colin repeated his question. “What? No! No! No way. What do you mean?” Noah blurted out the words, literally in shock. Colin is visibly relieved. He put his two hands on his forehead, his heart beating very fast. “What’s this about?” Noah asked, still confused. “You scared the shit out of me,” Colin responded. “Wait… why are you concerned about my reaction then?” Colin added. Noah sighed heavily.“Well…”He stepped backward himself.One step.Two.Three.Far enough to run if necessary.Colin narrowed his eyes.“Why are you being dramatic?”“You once threw a

'Bit' is Enough

Colin stared at Noah for a long moment.For someone who usually had an opinion about everything, Colin was taking an unusually long time.Finally, he sighed."You know what? After thinking about it… I stand with whatever Miranda wants."Noah blinked. That wasn't exactly the answer he had been hoping for.But it wasn't a rejection either."So, you’re saying you agree that we can be together..."Colin pointed at him."If she likes you…"Noah nodded rapidly… excited. He looked seconds away from jumping over the desk.Colin rolled his eyes."Then I won't stand in the way."Relief washed over Noah. A genuine smile spread across his face."Thank you.""Don't thank me yet."The smile froze."What now?"Colin folded his arms."I still haven't approved anything."Noah groaned dramatically."You just said…""I said I stand with whatever Miranda wants. The distinction was very clear.”Noah sighed."Fine."A brief silence followed.Then Colin spoke again."Although… I do think Miranda might like

Under Control

Richard stared at Adrian, who looked too innocent for the chaos he’s capable of. Adrian stood near the window, one hand tucked into his pocket, his eyes moving lazily between Richard and the quiet street outside Melissa’s apartment.“You’re wasting time,” Adrian said.Richard looked up sharply.“I know what I’m doing.”Adrian’s mouth curved. “Do you?”Richard didn’t answer immediately.That was the problem.He didn’t know anymore.The plan had sounded simple when Adrian said it.Get Miranda out.Get her away from the Jones Mansion.Make sure she came alone.Let Adrian “run into her” like it was some grand coincidence.That was all.No violence. No chaos. “Please, you know this is the only way Miranda can come here.”Richard hated how easy Adrian made terrible things sound.“How sure are you that she’ll come alone?” Richard asked“That’s the whole point of getting you involved. You need to make it seem like Melissa was the one asking her out for an important talk and does not want a

100 Steps too Late

Richard’s mind stopped working.For one second, he forgot every lie he was supposed to tell.Forgot Adrian was somewhere outside, waiting for his grand entrance like a devil with timing.All Richard saw was Miranda.Breathless, terrified, and now confused. His mouth opened before his brain could stop it.“How did you get here so fast?”The room died.Melissa’s hand slowly dropped from behind his neck. Then, very slowly, she pushed herself away from him.Richard felt the separation immediately.Melissa stared at him.Miranda was still standing by the door, one hand against the frame like she needed it to stay upright.Her eyes moved from Melissa to Richard.Then back again, waiting for any of them to tell her what’s going on.Richard stood also.“Melis…”Melissa cut in first.“You knew she was coming?”It was a catch. Even Richard’s guilty expression confirmed it. Melissa’s face shifted.“Wow?” Melissa mumbled. He couldn’t look at her.Miranda took a small step inside, directing her

My Bad

The name left Miranda’s mouth like she had forgotten how to breathe properly.Noah stood at the end of the hallway, one side of his face still freshly dressed. He looked like he had run out of the hospital with unfinished treatment.Because he had.Colin stood beside him, face hard, eyes moving from Miranda to Adrian, then to Richard, then back to Miranda.Noah didn’t move.He didn’t even blink.His eyes were on Miranda like the rest of the world had suddenly become background noise.Miranda’s heart dropped into her stomach.No.No, no, no.How much did he hear?Her lips parted, but nothing reasonable came out.“Noah, I…”Noah took one slow step forward.His voice was low.“Did you mean everything you just said?”Miranda froze.Her throat closed.Colin looked away briefly like even he knew this was too naked to watch.Noah’s eyes stayed on her.“Everything you just said,” he repeated. “Did you mean it?”Miranda swallowed.Her mouth opened.Closed.Opened again.“I… I didn’t know you w
