It's all about Her

Miranda lowered her eyes slowly toward her stomach.For several seconds, she didn’t answer.“Yes.”Colin stayed still.Miranda inhaled softly before looking back at him.“I’m keeping the baby.”Silence filled the room immediately afterward.Colin leaned back slightly in his chair and nodded once.“Okay.”Miranda blinked faintly.“…Okay?”Colin frowned.“What kind of response were you expecting?”“I don’t know,” she admitted quietly. “Something dramatic maybe.”“That’s Noah’s department.”In reality, they have almost the same attitude. They just exchange personality at different turns. Despite herself, Miranda laughed softly, having understood the dynamic. The sound faded quickly, though.Because reality returned immediately after.Colin studied her face carefully.“Then I think we should tell Mom and Dad.”Miranda’s fingers tightened slightly around the blanket.Colin noticed instantly.His expression changed faintly.“…Miranda?”She didn’t answer immediately.Which immediately made

A Visit to the Past

The second Miranda realized everyone had seen her crying, she turned instantly.And ran.“Miranda!” Mrs. Jones called out shakily.But Miranda was already rushing back upstairs.Her chest hurt.Her head hurt.Everything hurt.She had barely found this family.Barely allowed herself to believe she finally belonged somewhere.And now, she’s the trash no one wants.The words kept echoing inside her head like poison.She reached her room and pushed the door open hurriedly before breaking down completely.But before she could shut it, a hand stopped the door.Colin.He stepped inside quickly and pulled her straight into his arms without saying a single word.That alone shattered her emotions. Miranda broke completely.The sob that escaped her sounded painful enough to crack the entire room apart.Colin held her tightly against his chest.“It’s okay,” he murmured quietly.But Miranda cried harder.Years.Years of humiliation.Of being unwanted.Of being abandoned.Of begging for love from

Action Have Consequences

Mrs. Cole had finally regained consciousness almost an hour ago since she passed out yesterday. However, the atmosphere inside the mansion still felt tense and heavy.A doctor stood beside her bed checking her vitals carefully while Sabrina remained seated nearby looking exhausted.Adrian stood near the window with both hands shoved into his pockets.Restless.Irritated.Mentally destroyed.The doctor finally stepped back after a few more checks.“She’s stable now,” he said calmly. “Her blood pressure is still slightly elevated from stress, but there’s nothing alarming right now.”Sabrina exhaled softly in relief.“She just needs proper rest,” the doctor continued. “No unnecessary emotional stress for the next few days.”Mrs. Cole sighed tiredly against the pillows.The moment the doctor left, her eyes immediately found Adrian again.“Have you reached Miranda?”“Mom, please.”Adrian cut her off instantly.Mrs. Cole frowned faintly.“You know…” “I know. Please,” Adrian said quietly.

Chosen by Default

Noah slowly leaned back in his chair.For a few seconds, he simply stared at Clara, standing in front of him looking emotionally unstable.“Are you in love with Miranda?” Clara repeated.Noah’s expression remained unreadable.“To what do I owe this visit?”Clara scoffed immediately.“So it’s true.”“So what is true?”“You’re in love with Miranda.”“I didn’t say that.”“You also didn’t deny it.”Noah finally dropped the pen he’d been holding and looked at her properly.“And I don’t owe you an explanation either.”That sharp response visibly hit her.Clara laughed bitterly and folded her arms tightly over her chest.“Wow.”Noah stayed silent.Clara looked away briefly before speaking again, this time with obvious frustration.“I can’t believe everyone around me is suddenly going crazy.” “What are you doing here?” Noah sighed. That immediately reminded Clara she was there for a reason other than what she’s fighting for right now. She stepped further inside. “Dad is completely losing

Take my Hand

For a few seconds, he didn’t answer immediately.Because he was trying to choose his words carefully. “I shouldn’t have to.”Clara’s face tightened instantly.“That’s not an answer.”“It is.”“No, it’s not.” Her eyes reddened again. “You’re just avoiding it.”Noah sighed softly and rubbed his temple.“Clara…”“No.” She shook her head stubbornly. “I want a proper answer.”Noah stared at her for a long moment before speaking carefully.“I’m part of the Jones family too.”He paused slightly.“I grew up with all of you,” he continued calmly. “Your parents practically raised me alongside Colin.”Clara stayed silent.“So how exactly do you expect me to choose sides between you and Miranda?”Her lips trembled faintly.“She’s still new,” Clara whispered emotionally. “You’ve known me your whole life.”“And?” Noah asked gently.Clara looked hurt immediately.Noah sighed again.“That’s exactly why I don’t want this happening.”“Happening?”“This.” He gestured between them. “This competition you

A Sister's Love

Clara looked at him with disbelief. “You know it’s not going to work right. Everybody already believed I didn't like her. It’ll be impossible to pretend I do now.” “Except you’re not going to be pretending now,” Noah assured. Clara shook her head. “You don’t have to pretend. I’m also not forcing you to like her. I’m just asking you to try.” “Okay,” Clara agreed, reluctantly. Then Noah suddenly snapped his fingers softly.“I have an idea.”Clara narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“That expression never leads to anything good.”“Let’s go see Miranda.”Immediately, Clara frowned.“Noah…”“And apologize properly.”Clara looked horrified.“You’re joking.”“I’m serious.”“No.”“Yes.”“She hates me.”“She doesn’t.”“You don’t know that.”“I actually do," Noah smirked slightly. “Miranda’s surprisingly softhearted considering everything she’s been through.”Clara looked unconvinced.Noah tilted his head.“Come on. One apology won’t kill you.”She stared at him for several long seconds befor

Officially Free

Colin looked toward Nate.Nate immediately handed over the brown envelope in his hand.Colin took it casually before walking toward Miranda’s bedside.Then he handed it to her.Miranda looked confused as she slowly opened it.A second later…Her eyes widened completely.“This is…”“Your divorce certificate,” Colin finished smoothly.The room went silent for a beat.Miranda stared at the document again as if afraid it would suddenly disappear.“It’s official now,” Colin said. “You’re legally divorced from Adrian Cole.”Miranda blinked repeatedly.“That fast?”Colin looked offended.“That fast?” he repeated dramatically. “Miranda Jones, do you even know who your brother is?”Noah scoffed immediately from the couch.“Here he goes again.”Colin ignored him completely.“You are the daughter of Ethan Jones,” Colin continued proudly. “And the sister of Colin Jones. Things move when we say they move.”Noah leaned back lazily.“You praising yourself like this only makes the rest of us look use

Mr Cole, the Fool

Clara stared at Colin with disbelief.“Oh my God,” she whispered back. “I think he’s malfunctioning.”Miranda bit down hard on her lower lip to stop herself from laughing.Melissa, completely unaware of the chaos she had caused, looked between all of them in confusion.“…Did I miss something?”“No,” Colin answered too quickly.Then immediately corrected himself.“I mean…yes. No. I mean…”Noah turned away instantly and started coughing dramatically into his fist to hide his laughter.Nate looked like he was witnessing a historical event.“Sir,” he reminded carefully again, “the meeting is extremely important.”That finally snapped Colin back to reality.He straightened his suit.“Right.”His voice returned to normal immediately.Almost like the embarrassing version of him from ten seconds ago never existed.“It was nice meeting you… Mel...”“Melissa,” She finished, thinking he didn’t remember her name. “Yeah, that’s what I said. Bye Mel.”Melissa smiled politely.But Colin kept standi

Zero Sign of Betrayal

Melissa stared at Adrian for a long moment.Then she laughed.It was the kind of laugh that came from disbelief. From disgust. From realizing that a man had destroyed a woman’s life over his own stupidity and still had the audacity to stand there breathing like a victim.“You’re unbelievable,” she said slowly.Adrian’s face remained tight, his eyes red with anger, confusion and something dangerously close to shame.Richard looked between them, uneasy.“Melissa,” he said carefully, “what exactly are you saying?”Melissa ignored him. Her attention stayed on Adrian.“So let me get this straight,” she continued, folding her arms. “The day you claimed you heard Miranda saying all those things… was it her birthday?”Adrian froze; his expression gave his answer away.Melissa smiled bitterly.“Ah,” she said. “So it was.”Adrian’s jaw tightened.“It was in our first year of marriage,” he said stiffly. “I had a meeting. I rushed over afterwards, and I heard her with you.”Melissa’s smile disa

No One left Unbruised

“Richard…”“Don’t.” Richard raised one hand, warning him before he could continue. “Don’t even start.”Adrian’s throat moved. “You haven’t heard what I want to say.”“I have,” Richard snapped. “You want to go after Melissa. You want me to use whatever little relationship I’m building with her to get to Miranda.”Adrian didn’t answer.That silence was enough.Richard laughed, but there was no amusement in it.“Of course,” he muttered. “Of course that is what you want.”Adrian took a step forward. “You know Melissa will listen to you.”“No, she won’t.” Richard turned sharply. “And even if she will, I won’t do it.”Adrian’s brows drew together.Richard pointed toward the door Melissa had walked through. “Do you know how long I’ve liked that woman?”Adrian looked away.“No, look at me,” Richard demanded. “Do you know how long I have liked Melissa? Do you know how many times I wanted to approach her properly but held myself back because your madness was always standing between us?”Adrian’
