CHAPTERS 31….. 32…. And… 33… 😇🥺💖

Chapter 31…. 😇

Mira firstly peeped in the kitchen. Everyone seemed so busy doing one thing or the other. Mabel was the first to notice Mira peeping and called her in. The moment she called her, everyone stopped what they were doing. They were quite surprised to see her there and it was more shocking when she said,

“is there anything I can help with here?”

Many mouths dropped except Mariam. In fact she was glad that Mira would help them in the kitchen . It gave her more opportunities. She was quite sure it was Mrs Lockhart that sent Mira here.

“No dear you don’t have to do that” Mabel refused . Mira was about to speak when Mariam interrupted.

“Oh no. I believe that she was sent here by Mrs Lockhart” she said and smirked at Mira who had the urge to smack her across of face.

“Is that true?” Mabel asked Mira and she nodded.
***************

After Mabel gave her something simple to do. She left the kitchen. The once quiet kitchen became so noisy cause everyone kept questioning Mira.

They were so curious to know her more.

“Have you ever stayed in Asia?” One of them asked while chopping veggies.

Mira nodded , “yes when I was little”

More and more questions were asked and all concerned Asia. Seems like they were all fans of Asia . The worst part of it was that she doesn’t know much about Asia either. She grew up in America for more than half of her life.

She only knew alittle because her dad educated her about the continent when she was little and she only went there twice to visit her grandma.

Mariam couldn’t just understand why everyone was giving her attention like as if she’s important or a celebrity.

She was even more envious of Mira now seeing how her fellow maids were acting around Mira.

‘when I become Mrs Lockhart in future, I’ll have everyone of them fired. They are simpletons’ …… Mariam said in her mind.
Then mabel entered the kitchen and all the chattering stopped.

“Mariam” she called out and Mariam looked at her direction.
“Have a cup of coffee made and take it to Mrs Lockhart” mabel said and left.

She looked at the where plates and cups were kept which was near where Mira stood to be slicing the onions and lettuce.

“Mira ” Mariam called in the sweetest voice she could feign.

Mira looked at her surprised. Even Linda too . From what she noticed, Mariam didn’t like Mira one bit.

“Could you please pass me that cup over there with the designs on it?” she asked and Mira nodded.

She turned to the cups and plates . Every other ceramics cups there were plain till she s₱0tted the one that wasn’t plain.

“Thank you. Please drop it there for me” she pointed to the second counter and Mira nodded once more.

But before she could drop it, Mariam st leg for another maid who was passing beside Mira when she was heading to the second counter and the cup broke in to pieces and everyone gasped.

“Am so sorry” the maid that mistakenly pushed Mira apologize and Mira nodded accepting the apology but the damage had already been done.

“Never mind that” Mariam waved it off with a smile …… “I’ll take another” she went ahead to take a plain cup. Everyone except Mira looked at her as though she had lost her mind but nope, she knew perfectly well what she was doing.

Mira left since she was done with what she had to do while Mariam made the coffee.
**************
On her way to the garden, she was met by Mabel who was wondering why she was serving Mrs Lockhart with a plain cup.

“Mira broke the cup” she answered casually but mabel looked skeptical. Like it wasn’t something she could do.

Mariam continue her journey of going to Mrs Lockhart while Mabel followed suit. She knew there was going to be a problem.

Everyone else used plain cup except Mrs Lockhart. The cup was specially for her and now … Now …. Mira had broken it.

Mariam reached where Mrs Lockhart was sitted reading a magazine.

“Your coffee” Mariam said and Mrs Lockhart took the cup without looking at it.
She took it and took a sip and Mariam waited. She waited for her to notice the cup but she hadn’t noticed yet.

“Any prob…..” That was when she noticed it. The plain cup.

“What’s the meaning of this mariam?” She yelled at Mariam.

‘yess’ Mariam jubilated ….

” Err… I…” Mariam stammered.

“You what? Where is my cup Mariam? Answer me!” Now she was getting impatient.

“Am sorry ma’am. Mira mistakenly broke it. And …. I just had to use that” she stammered to sound scared even though that’s the least she was.

“Whaaaat?” Now she was angry. Mabel immediately walked to the scene.

“Call her for me” Mrs Lockhart said and Mariam immediately rushed away to call Mira while Mabel tried to calm her down.

Mariam stopped in the hallway and smiled at her self hugging the tray.

“You just came into the mansion to steal he s₱0tlight buy I won’t let that happen. Over my dead body. Mira … I’ll do everything it takes to get rid of you” after saying these words, she went ahead to Mira’s room.

She knocked on the door..
“Who is it?” Mira voice could be heard and Mariam scoffed before answering.

” It’s Mariam. Mrs Lockhart requires your presence at the garden” Mariam said but no sound was heard again.

‘ did she hear me at all? Why didn’t she say anything? ‘ Mariam thought.
Her plan was to make Mira scared of what Mrs Lockhart may say or do to her without her getting there.

“Okay am coming” Mira finally answered.

“Humph” Mariam scoffed before leaving.

She decided to head back to the kitchen when the maid she had made to trip so that she could hit Mira came running to her.

“Mrs Lockhart said I should inform not to call Mira anymore” the maid delivered her message with heavy breaths .

“What?!!” Mariam was shocked . How did I plans change .

“I explained myself and what Happened to Mrs Lockhart so she punished me instead”. The maid responded.

‘you fool’ now this plan was a total failure.

“Why would you do that?” Mariam couldn’t stop herself from asking.

” Because it’s my fault that the cup broke” she responded.

‘thanks so much you dummy’ Mariam cursed in her mind.

“What punishment did she give you?”

“Suspension for three days”
*****************

Before Mira could leave her room, Mariam came back to inform her that she didn’t have to bother meeting Mrs Lockhart anymore.

Mira ft relieved hearing that. She was scared that Mrs Lockhart was going to scold her for breaking the cup but it seemed like that wasn’t the case at all. Thank God.

She tested for a little while before going to Isabella’s room.
Isabella was still very much asleep and it made Mira sad a bit. She was missing her already.

To pass time, Mira decided to go through someone of the stuffs in Isabella’s room. After going through the clothes and admiring it, she came across an album.

Mira opened it and gazed through the pictures. The album was filled with Isabella parents.

She went to sit beside Isabella crib and went through the pictures.

Her mother, Mrs Isabella was so beautiful. She was blonde and she had golden brown eyes. She had hazel eyes just like Isabella. She kept on going through them pages by pages and mabel wasn’t lying when she said Isabella mom was a lover of pink.

She wore pink in many of her pictures. Even when her and Ezekiel wore matching outfits which were pink. Technically, pink and white.

And gosh Ezekiel looked breathtaking in pink.
The pink suit wasn’t button to the top. He left out 3 buttons exposing his chest . He looked like a super model. Grade 1 model.

Mira traced her fingers on the picture.

“Isabella, pardon me for hitting on your father but he’s damn cute” Mira said a loud and red cheeks.
She was already blushing.

The more she looked at the picture, the more Mrs Isabella’s face was replaced with hers in Mira’s eyes. Soon all she could was her and Ezekiel standing together in the picture.

“Oh God” Mira gr–ned and dropped the album on her laps and rubbed her eyes. Even after rubbing her eyes , Mira still saw herself instead of Mrs Isabella.

She immediately skipped the pages and the remaining pages were filled with Isabella pictures of her as a baby. They’ll probably show it to her when she’s older.

After looking at the pictures in the album, Mira fell asleep with the album in her laps.
***********************

Today was such a hectic day in work. Things were starting to go wrong in the office. They had lost 2 contracts worth millions. They had to have staff’s meeting and it was discovered that there was a fraudster in the company. Investigation had started to fish out the person before the company starts to fall.

Since his father and Lucas were there handling everything, he headed home tired and mentally stressed.
Even though part of him was tired and wanted to take a break, the other part wanted to see Mira. He wanted to behold her Angelic face.

As soon as he arrived home, he firstly went to the garden to meet his mom. He sat with her for a while and discussed the affairs of the company and other important stuffs before heading to freshen up.

Something told him that Mira wouldn’t be in her room and do he decided to head for Isabella’s room and that’s where she was sleeping.

She sat on a chair with her head falling over. He quickly rushed and held her head in place. His face was just a meter apart from hers. They were so close. His eyes scanned her face. Her eyes were partly closed and her l-ips too.

Those cherry 🍒 l-ips….

Those cherry l-ips

Those cherry l-ips…..
Something kept chanting in his head as His gaze lingered more on her partly opened l-ips which seemed to be drawing him more to …….

‘behave yourself’ he said mentally to himself. He didn’t want to do what he may make him or Mira regret.

Removing his eyes from her lip and placed her head properly on the chair .

“You aren’t supposed to be sleeping like this ” he whispered as soon as he was done adjusting her head

“Hmmm” Mira replied back as though she heard him.

Ezekiel froze. He didn’t even know what to do or say if her eyes just open and she finds him looking at her up close.

After muttering a few words that he couldn’t understand, she stopped shaking aand Ezekiel breathed out relieved.

Standing up straight, he found his album on Mira’s lap. He took it wondering how she found it. But then he remembered he kept it in Isabella room.

He walked to the window opening the album and looking the pictures…….pictures of him and his late wife.

It was only 4 months ago that she passed away but it felt like 4years ago.

He still loved and cherish her and every day when he sees his daughter,he is constantly reminded of her ….of Isabella.

And it seems like his wife didn’t want him to forget her that’s why she wanted her daughter to be named after her .
So that he would be reminded of her everyday of his life .

Chapter 32.. 💖

“hello….”… Mira called out in the darkness but no one answered.
She couldn’t see anything. It was as if she was in a black hole where nothing could be seen or heard except yourself.

“Heeelllloo” she shouted louder. Now she was getting scared.
‘where is everyone?’ she asked herself.

“Mr Lockhart!!” She shouted again hoping he would hear her but he didn’t. No one did. She felt tears filling her eyes.

“Mabel” she called out still no response.

“Mom!!” …. She shouted with teas now flowing from her eyes completely.

“Anyone ….!!”

No one.

She sanked on her feets crying…
” Pls someone help! ” Was all she could say again.

Then suddenly she saw a very bright light at a distance. Getting up from her feets , she went in he direction of the bright light.

She hoped that the bright light would lead her out of there and that someone would be there.

Soon she got closer to the bright light and it shone so bright that it blinded her.

She opened her eyes again but this time, she was in the Lockhart Mansion. The garden to be precise and everything was decorated so beautiful. Way more beautiful than when Mr and Mrs Lockhart were coming.

“Huh… What is all this?”. There were roses all over the floor. White and red roses. White…. Her favorite color. She loved everything and everywhere.

Then a small girl walked to her dressed in white gown. She looked like an angel but was wearing a tiara. When the girl got closer , her mouth dropped.

“Isabella” she was astonished at how fast Isabella had grown. She looked like she was 8 or 9 years of age.

“Izzy is that you?” Mira asked when Isabella stood a few feets away from her. Not to far though.

Isabella nodded at her question.

“You’ve grown so fast. How?” Isabella didn’t reply but rather outstretched her arm to Mira.

” I should take your hand” Mira asked to confirm and she nodded.

Placing her hand in Isabella’s…. She was led to another part of the garden. The deeper she went, the more beautiful every was . It was just glittering.

Then she saw him….

He stood far at the end all dressed in white. He was simply breathtaking. The closer Isabella and her got to him, the faster her hearts beats increased.

With every step, she was breathing heavily and only a few more steps to get to him, her entire dress changed. She too was dress in a glittering white gown. It was amazingly beautiful. No….. Mira was amazingly beautiful in white. She had a more fancier tiara on her head and on her her hands were white gloves that reached to her elbow. Just like Cinderella.

She wondered how the got to her hands since she had never left Isabella’s hand.

Soons she stood in front of Ezekiel. He had a lovely smile on his face.
Isabella let go of her hand and before she could look to see where Isabella was going, Ezekiel grabbed her hand gently and softly.

“Mira” it sounded like music to her ears hearing him call her name.

“Hmm” she responded. He took her second hand in his gently and looked into her eyes deeply without saying anything. It was as if their eyes did the talking.

“Mira…” Hearing her name on his l-ips were like drugs . She was addicted already…”will make me the happiest man in Earth and marry me? ” He finally proposed . The smile on Mira face was so huge and wide that it was hurting her cheeks but she cared less.

Her heart raced even faster and Mira feared that it was pumped out from her chest.

“Yes I will” Mira said happily and Ezekiel smiled widely. And soon, people appeared surrounding them. They were clapping and cheering them.

Ezekiel brought out a ring from its box and slipped it on her fingers.

And everyone cheered.

Mira scanned everyone happy face. At a distance, she could Ezekiel’s parents and her mom Happy. Her mom blew herca k-s and Mira smiled with tearing falling down her cheeks.

Ezekiel wiped her tears and Mira gazed went back to his staring at his eyes.

“k-s…… k-s…. k-s…. k-s……. k-s… k-s………” Everyone kept on chanting and Ezekiel began leaning in slowly. He kept coming slowly and Mira too leaned in slowly and then..
..

*Thud*
Mira found herself on the floor as she opened her eyes.

“Huh?” She was confused on her she found herself on the floor but all confusion flew when she felt and heard that angelic voice.

“Mira are you okay?” He asked as he helped her sit down properly on the seats.

Mira rubbed her eyes. She looked around her. She was still in Isabella’s room

“Mira” Ezekiel called out drawing her attention.

“Are you okay?” He asked concerned Mira stared at him not answering.

‘oh so it’s was a dream’ Mira finally realized. It was indeed a dream. A crazy one. How could imagine Ezekiel proposing to her.

“Mira…” He called again more worried. He had called her five times and she didn’t respond. He was worried that the fall must have affected her brain.

“Huh??…. Yes…. Yes …. Am fine” she finally replied.

“What happened to you?” He asked.

“Nothing… Absolutely nothing… Am good. No need for worries” she said assuringly.

Ezekiel felt relieved hearing that.

” How was work? ” Mira decided to ask for the first time. She just needed anything that would take her mind off from her dream and how she wish they would come true.

“Hm. Stressful” he said and grabbed a seat and sat a few feets away from Mira.

“How was your day at home? Hope my mom didn’t give much trouble?” Ezekiel asked and Mira shook….

” Was bored a little but your mom gave me no hærd time at all” Mira said.

“That’s a relief. My mom can be annoying with her rules” he said.

“That reminds me. You promised to tell me some of her rules so that I would avoid disobeying them” Mira said and Ezekiel smiled.

” Yeah …. I did…” He paused and Mira waited patiently for him to start.

“Rule no 1:- the one your already familiar with- she must never arrive to the dinning room before you. If she does, it simply means you ain’t eating that day” he said with a grin.

” Has anyone ever disobeyed it?” Mira asked.

” Yes, tons of time”

” Who?”

” My little bro. He hates have being told what to do. In fact, he’s the reason why rules were made. He’s quite reckless”Ezekiel said..

” How many siblings do you have?” Mira asked.

” Just 2″

” Really?..I thought your the only child!” Mira said after the revelation.

” Nah. I got a brother and a sister. My sister should be your age” he replied.

‘oh so his sister must be 19years…just wow’

“Where are they? How come I haven’t met them yet?”Mira asked again…

” You will. My sister will be coming tomorrow. Well… depending on her choice…” He shrugged…
” Back to the rules” …

Both of them spent the evening talking and laughing till their noise woke Isabella up. Mira fed her and then ensured she arrived early at the dinning.

Chapter 33… 🥺 Part 1

Mira look up feeling very happy the next day. This is Because she had enjoyed her time with Ezekiel without any interruptions. This the first time she had had a loving conversation with him and had enjoyed it. Other times, she’s either too shy to talk to him or the conversation didn’t go well. But yesterday own was I bliss and she enjoyed it to the fullest. Besides, she had no problems with Mrs Lockhart all through yesterday. Dinner went well also.

Now Mira looked forward to today to see what it holds. Beside the last born of the family was coming home today. That is Ezekiel sister. Yep, she’s last born alright.

After freshening up and taking her bath, Mira headed for Isabella room to feed her and bath her….
***************
After breakfast, Mira went straight to the kitchen to help them. She apologized to Mabel for the cup yesterday and Mabel accepted the apology.

“Hey, you guys do know that the spoiled brat is coming home today” a maid who just entered after Mabel left announced and everyone gr–ned even Mariam.
This caught Mira interests. Seems like they don’t like Ezekiel’s sister but why?.

“Why would you call her that?” Mira asked while concentrating on removing the seeds from the watermelon.

“Because thats what she is” the maid replied.

“Yeah…. She treats us like shit and she’s spoiled too… ” Another maid added..

” Mr and Mrs Lockhart had pampered her way too much … Because she’s the last born and only daughter” another maid said too..

” She is never happy with anything we do… She always find mistakes in us so that her parents would scold us. ” The maid who brought the announcement said once again.

” Even sir Ezekiel other brother. Both he and his sister are spoiled. Sir Ezekiel is the only good and kind-hearted person in this family” Mira was fascinated by this ….

” Sir Ezekiel and Mr Lockhart…. Both of them are too kind” Mariam said…” I mean , they even allowed you stay in the mansion for free” and everyone went quiet not saying anything to mariam’s comment. Mariam felt embrassed … She thought someone would join and back her up.

Carry a tray of seeds, she went to garden to plant them.

As soon as she left, everyone bursted into laughter and continued gisting about the Lockhart’s family.

Mira thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. These girls were so lively and fun to be with ..
************
She drove and drove till she saw no buildings anymore. Just trees and bushes… Long trees and bushes…
Soon she reached the marked territory.

There was a red line drawn across the road indicating danger . She saw it but kept on driving. Before she could even get to the red line, something shot her tyres and it burst. She struggled to control the steering wheels so that she won’t have a major accident. She went off the road and her car hit a tree.

Thank God for airbag….

She raised her head from the bag in the steering wheel feeling dizzy. Then someone knocked on her car window. The person wore a mask …. Black mask …. Fear gripped lady Ri. The man signalled her to come down from the car.

With shaking hands, she opened the car door. As soon as she did , the man with the mask pointed a gun at her . She turned her head to see if she had any hopes of escape in case her plans fails but she was met by seven others guns pointing towards by seven others masked men.

“Hands in the air” the first masked man pointing a gun directly at her said.

Lady Ri immediately obey..

“State your mission for entering the Master’s territory” his thick voice boomed and lady Ri shivered in fear.

“I….I …..have come…to seek his help” she stammered and all right of the masked man laughed. Fear gripped her more.

“Do you think anyone that comes here to see the master will get to see him?” The masked man in front of her said…

Lady Ri slowly dipped her hand in her trouser pocket keeping the other hand raised in the air. She brought out a medium size coin with the symbol of their clan on it on one face of the coin and their clan name at the back.

When she brought out the coin, all the masked men looked at each before the one in front of lady Ri took the coin to examine it.

“Where did you get it from?”…..
