His magnificent episode 17 – 19
💖💞HIS MAGNIFICENT 🦋🌈
CHAPTER 17…. 😇💚
Before the officer could answer Mira’s questions, Mr Lockhart had already reached the desk and had signalled the officer not to say anything.
“And done!” The lawyer announced.
“Pls sign here Mr Lockhart” he told him and passed the documents to him.
Mira turned around and was surprised to see the man that came earlier in the morning to her cell. And it seems he’s the one that bailed her. But what about her mom? Where was she?.
She was confused when she didn’t see her mom.
“Mira, he’s the man that bailed you out” the officer told her and pointed towards Mr Lockhart side.
Mr Lockhart only gave a small nod and the lawyer stood up. He and the police officer shook hands along with Mr Lockhart.
“Thanks for your help Mr Chris” and he nodded and took his leave. Mira just stood rooted to the place she stood not knowing what to do next.
Mr Lockhart cleared his throat drawing her attention and gestured towards the exit.
“Shall we?” Mira only nodded and followed him as he led the way.
They got outside and Mr Lockhart stopped.
“Pls wait here” his deep voice shook Mira from her thoughts and she found herself just staring at him.
“Did you hear me?” He asked seeing that she didn’t respond.
“Huh…?!” She said confused before her mind comprehended what he had just said.
” Okay”. She said and he left.
She watched him walk towards another man who leaned on a car .
“What do you plan to do now?” Lucas asked. It seems like they didn’t think this through.
” I’ll take her home with me. I can’t leave her here or on her own.” He replied somewhat unsure.
” What about her mom? What will you say that happened to her when she asks?” Lucas questioned again.
Mr Lockhart looked towards the direction where Mira stood.
” I’ll tell her truth” he replied and Lucas mouth dropped.
” Are you for real? What if she takes you as a bad person. That your responsible for what happened to her? What then will you do? ” …
” Calm down… I won’t tell her about the cocaine part” Mr Lock said calmly.
Lucas could only sigh.
“If that’s your wish. Am heading home” he said. Mr Lockhart nodded.
“Tomorrow, better come early to work. Our client has agreed to have the meeting tomorrow”. Lucas informed him and he nodded again.
Entering his car, he drove off.
Then , he walked back to where Mira was.
He gestured towards the car .
Mira nodded and entered the car at the backseat.
Mr Lockhart too went to the back seat.
As they drove off, Mira’s gazed was entirely at the window looking outside and admiring the stars that were starting to reveal themselves.
Meanwhile, Mr Lockhart was wondering how he would talk to Mira about her mom. He knew she had questions about her but he wondered why she hadn’t say anything yet.
“Thanks for bailing me sir” Mira finally broke the thick silence that had evenloped them.
” Hmm” was all he could say and nod.
“Err… My mom… Do … U know where she is?” Finally she had asked the question that had been troubling both of them.
Mr Lockhart cleared his throat.. “your mom…” He repeated.
Thomas smirked behind the steering wheel and wondered what his boss would say about the matter. He looked at the rear mirror and took a quick glance at his boss Disturbed face. The girl couldn’t see it because she wasn’t looking at him. She was fondling with her fingers on her laps.
“I’m afraid your mom was involved in a small accident…”
“What?!” Mira looked up and gazed at him. Her heart raced.
” When”
” Where”
“How”…
“Calm down Mira. She currently going to treatment” he could only say not knowing how he would answer those questions.
‘is that why I have been feeling so restless all these while’ Mira asked herself.
Her mom wasn’t alright, she could feel years welling up in her eyes. Mr Lockhart saw her teary eyes and panicked.
‘why is she crying when she hasn’t seen her mom condition? ‘
And if she saw her mom and find out that she had been injected with cocaine. Only God knows what will happen.
“Don’t cry miss. I assure you she’ll be fine” was all he could say not knowing how to console her
“Can I see her please?”..
“Am afraid you can’t”
” Why? “Mira was taken aback by his reply.
” Cause…. She said I shouldn’t let you see her in this condition. She doesn’t want you to feel sad seeing her unwell” he paused and Thomas had to control himself from laughing.
‘Is that all he got’
‘wait till Lucas hears this’ he chuckled softly.
Mira believed what he said. She knew her mom would never want her to see her sick or unwell.
Even while they were at home, Mira’s mom never informs her if she is sick. Mira had always cautioned her to always tell her when she is not fine but she never listens.
“Oh mom’..
” As a matter of fact, she told me to take you with me till she gets better” he added and Mira nodded.
” Lest I forget, my name is Ezekiel… Ezekiel Lockhart. Am sorry for not introducing myself earlier on” he added and Mira nodded.
” Am Mira levenson” she replied back and he smiled.
” I know” ..
‘ofcourse he would. He bailed me out’ Mira facepalmed .
“What’s your mom’s name?” He asked. Thank God he had remembered to ask. He couldn’t register her mom properly in the hospital because he didn’t know her name.
“Maria levenson” Mira replied and he nodded.
” The one driving is Thomas” Mr Lockhart quickly went ahead to introduce Thomas.
“Thomas Reigns milady” Thomas said and Mira smiled at the way he addressed her.
Soon, they arrived at Lockhart mansion.
Getting down from the car, Mira gasped.
“Woah…. You live here?”….
****************
Hands in his pocket, he entered the hospital.
” Good evening sir” the receptionist greeted.
“Good evening” he answered back.
” How may I help you? “.
” Am looking for a patient. Mrs levenson”
“Okay. Let me check”
Opening her register, she didn’t find any records of Mrs levenson.
“Am sorry sir, there is no record of anyone bearing the name. When was she admitted? ” She asked.
” Today. In the morning” he replied.
” The only person admitted today in the morning was Mrs Lockhart. At 9:45am” she informed him.
” Mrs Lockhart… Hmm.. ”
” Thank you”.
“Your welcome sir. Have a lovely evening” ..
He walked out of the hospital and kept on walking till he was sure no one was around to hear him.
“Ma’am, there’s no record of Mrs levenson being admitted here this morning. I believe the person who registered her used his name” he informed her.
” What’s the name? ” She asked.
” Mrs Lockhart”

CHAPTER 18 AND 19… ❣️❣️🥰..
**********
CHAPTER 18.❣️🥰..
“woah is this your house!” Mira asked still quite amazed. The house was big and beautiful. It was painted white and a lot of places were made with glass and the house was quite bright from all the lights lit up around it.
And the land of which the plot of house was built on was enough to make an estate. Everything was so wide. Mira could see 3 other buildings behind the main house but that’s something she’ll explore later on.
“Shall we?” They walked towards the door while Thomas parked the car well.
As soon as they got in,side, a lady came to greet them. Well actually, came to greet Ezekiel.
“Thank you Mabel, hope you have the room prepared?” He asked. Mira just stood still admiring the house.
“please take her there” he pointed to Mira.
“Okay sir. Let’s go miss” she took her to the room upstairs.
” Here’s your room and the keys” Mabel gave her the keys, smiled and left.
Mira opened the door unsure of what to expect but so far, she has been amazed.
Click….. finally the door was unlocked. She entered slowly and woah, …it was so amazing. The wall was painted white. A large wardrobe was in the room,a dressing mirror, a side table with a lamp was near the bed and the bed was huge to. Able to fit 5 more people.
She closed the door behind her and went ahead to jump on the bed. Yep, it was bouncing.
“I think am going to enjoy living here” but one thing, she didn’t like the color. Everything was plain white. But she can’t do anything about it. It’s not her house.😩
She laid down flat on the bed enjoying the softness.
“How did Mom get acquaintance with such a person” Mira asked herself.
Her mom even trust Mr Lockhart to the extend that she wanted him to bring Mira to his home.
Well, only her mom can ever answer that question.
She looked at the wall clock. 7:45pm.
She sighed….”time has gone.”
Getting up from the bed, she grabbed the towel she found on the door of the bathroom. She took off her clothes, tied the towel around herself and entered the shower.
She looked at the shower nob. Thankfully, this was the kind of shower 🚿 found in Kira’s house and Kira had thought her how to turn the water from cold to hot.
****************
She stepped out of the bathroom and looked at the clothes on floor..
She didn’t think this through. Which clothes will she change into?
She went to the huge wardrobe but no clothes were there.
“Ugh..” then someone knocked on the door.
She went ahead to open it still with the towel around her.
“Here miss. Sir said I should give you this” a young maid, probably her age handed her pajamas.
“Thank you”
She collected the pajamas.
“He also said you should join him for dinner as soon as your done” she informed Mira and left.
**************
…… AT THE DINNING ROOM….
She was shown to the dinner room. It was so big and it was lit. She saw Mr Lockhart sitted in the first chair on the line.
There should be about 14 dinning chairs. 6 one each side and 1 at the head of the table.
‘hmmm…. Why so many chairs for just a person? ‘ Mira asked herself.
She just couldn’t get why they were so many dinning chairs when he clearly lived alone.
“Join me” Ezekiel said and Mira took a seat directly opposite him.
The cook brought her tea and biscuits.
“I hope you don’t mind the light dinner. Didn’t know I’ll have a guest tonight” he quickly explained when he saw Mira only staring at the food.
“Its okay. Didn’t think I’ll have appetite for a real food” she replied and began eating.
She focused on the tea and biscuits but Ezekiel was just staring at her not touching his.
Realizing that he hasn’t been eating and was just looking at her. Mira became uncomfortable.
“Err…. May I ask a question?” She summoned courage to ask.
” Ask” finally, he took a bite from a biscuit.
” Why are they too many chairs here. Don’t you live alone?” .
She asked and took a sip from the tea.
” I don’t live alone Mira. Others aren’t just around”.
” Ohh.. ” was all Mira could say.
“Hmm.. Mira… That name sounds like an Asian name. But your mom ain’t one” he asked and Mira nodded.
” Yes, she’s not but my dad is Asian, India to be precise” she answered.
” I would have never guessed” he smiled and Mira froze. He had such a breathtaking smile 🥺.
But she didn’t reply, rather she kept her face down to hide her red cheeks.
“Why am I even blushing?” She asked herself.
“Tomorrow, I’ll have Thomas and Linda take to the mall. Am sure you need some clothing since they’re none in the house”
” Thank you”
*********************
CHAPTER 19 …🥰❣️
She stirred and stirred till finally her eyes opened.
She grabbed the jug on the side table and poured herself a glass of water. Standing up with the glass of water in her hand, she walked to the window.
Her room was adjacent to the swimming pool and garden. Every where looked lit under the moonlight and the water glittered in the moonlight.
It made the entire garden glittering too and it was so beautiful to behold.
She sighed “nature”..
She didn’t know what woke her from sleep but she was feeling restless as always.
She had thought that being here, she would finally relax but nope, it was still the same.
“I wonder what’s causing this feeling in me? ” She said out loud.
” Mom” she whispered.
She was missing her mom… She hadn’t seen her for a day but it was taking a toil on her.
“I hope she’ll be alright”
***********
The sun rays shone on her face. Geez…. She forgot to close the curtains last night… She was enjoying the view of the stars and moonlight and the way it was shining through the window to her room.
‘my room’.. she laughed internally… She’s already calling it her room when she may not be here for long.
She got up, bathed and freshened up and went downstairs.
“Good morning” she greeted the house keeper Mabel..
“Good morning Miss”…She replied back.
“Oh.. pls don’t call me that. My name is Mira” she corrected. The woman was way older than her. She shouldn’t address her like that.
Mabel looked up and smiled. But the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Dark circles could be seen around her eyes and she looked tired and exhausted like she didn’t sleep at all.
‘why’…
“Miss your breakfast” the young girl who came to her room the other day came again.
She walked behind the maid to the dinning room.
She sat down on the same seat as last night.
They served her toast bread and tea. Mira was surprised with the kind of respect they were giving her but she didn’t know that Mr Lockhart had already addressed them to respect and treat Mira as family.
‘this people really like tea’ she said in her mind.
“Mr Lockhart said, when your done, you should go to the mall with Thomas. I’ll be accompanying you miss” the young girl said and Mira nodded.
**************
She entered the hospital and went straight to the receptionist.
“Good morning ma’am. How may I help you?” ..
“Am looking for Mrs Lockhart room pls” she immediately went straight to the point.
” Pls who are you? ” The receptionist felt suspicious.
“Am her cousin and I heard she isn’t doing well and I came to visit her. Is there a problem”
‘maybe am wrong about her’..
” No ma’am” …
She checked her register and told her the room number…. “Room 3B, down the hall on your left”..
Thank you.
***************
Finally, she got to Mira’s room. Looking left and right, she entered the room. She locked the door and walked towards the peaceful Maria… Sleeping..
She smiled wickedly and brought out the injection from her bag.
” You called me insane, huh?!!… Now I’ll make sure you become the insane one” … She injected the cocaine into her body.
Mira’s mom jerked In her sleep and opened her eyes. Her Vision was blurry so she couldn’t see anyone.
“Done” was the only voice Mira’s mom heard.
She unlocked the door and walked out
