? Chapter Twenty-Three [ 23 ] ?
? Miranda ?
I guess when they said plan your actions not your results they truly meant it because I’m liking my results right now.
” Thank you so much . One million will be sent straight to your account when you arrive home . Make sure you pack up all your bags and leave this country for good. ” I smiled proudly to doctor Stanley .
” But Miranda ? We didn’t discuss my possibilities of returning here . I think if I lay low for a month or so Annalisa will forget everything and move on . ” Stanley shrugged and I gave him a dead look .
” Don’t fuck with me Stanley . Annalisa knows you very well and she can come after you anytime soon ” I pointed out sharply. ” I don’t want you anywhere near this country or continent until I tell you otherwise. ”
” Look , almost all of my relatives are from around this town especially my parents. How can I leave the place I was born in ? ” Doctor Stanley stood up ” You can take all your money back because I won’t sacrifice my love for my family for you . ”
” Sit down idiot !” I half yelled ” Sit the fuck down if you still want to live another day to see your family . I would hate to kill you right now . ” I slowly took out my gun from my waist and pointed it at him .
He slowly sat down with a horrific expression I guess he wasn’t expecting that but what was he thinking to get involved with a person like me . I like it when the game is played by me not the other way around.
Through my cameras around Ethan’s house . I managed to act before Annalisa. There is this Isabella girl that Annalisa claims that she is her biological sister . I just found out today that Isabella and Annalisa are fucking sister and guess what ? More Money for us because if I can get Ethan to marry Isabella instead of that Amber girl then everything is balanced .
I bribed Stanley to lie to Annalisa and Isabella . At first he didn’t want to participate in deceiving Annalisa but I managed to persuade him by using Money . You know what they say , money can buy anything it depends on how you use it.
” You listen to me , you piece of sht !” I spat out quickly ” You are going home right after this and you are going to pack all your bags with your fucking family . I don’t care about your other relatives. Get your wife and children out of this country before I burn them alive ”
” I should have guessed from the moment I saw you that you are full of surprises . ” Doctor Stanley fixed his tie ” I’m not going anywhere Miranda . My whole life revolves around this town . If you dare come anywhere close to my family or me then prepare for war . ” He gave me a challenging look ” I’m a man who only sticks to his own words. ”
” Are you threatening me ? Do you even know who my husband is ? Fuck !” I laughed ” You are playing with fire Stanley and it will burn you into ashes ”
” The only person who is playing with fire here is you . I may have lied to Annalisa about the DNA results once but I won’t do it twice . ” He stared straight in my eyes ” I could tell her the whole truth if I want to . I own you Miranda , your whole family . I didn’t do this out of desperation or Money , I did all of this because of one person . ”
” Who ? Did Annalisa put you up to this ? Huh? ” I scanned the room for any cameras . I hate that I didn’t look through doctor Stanley’s past before I bribed him . This man is a hardcore .
” For now you can just relax because soon the truth will come out and by the way , add more salt to your husband’s food to make the love potion more stronger . ” He stood up ” You never know who would be standing by your side at the end of the tunnel ”
” Fk you !” I spat out across my husband’s desk ” You are talking bullsht ! ”
” No baby , You better watch what you say because one wrong word can destroy you in seconds ” he smirked ” I will show myself the way out of your house . ” He walked out of my husband’s office leaving me standing .
I just couldn’t believe what just happened . Doctor Stanley just threatened me and I couldn’t do nothing . I hate that he is working with someone , i bet it is someone I know of but who could have bought doctor Stanley before me ? What is the person up to? . Could it be Ethan ? Nah …that boy is intoxicated by my spell . Then who is working with him ? I have got to get to the bottom of this.
Now I’m stuck in this filthy mud. I don’t know where to start in order to finish off what I started. My plans are now Changing , Im going to have to come up with a plan B . I quickly dialed Amber’s phone number. It rang multiple times but she finally answered.
I explained everything to her except the part whereby I was planning on getting rid of her after I have used her. Typical of her , she gladly agreed to help me out .
” Sure Miranda . What’s you plan ? I’m up for anything you got to bring in the plate !” She cheerfully said ” Tell me all about it .”
” Well , change of plans. You need to spend the whole week at Ethan’s place but with a logical reason. ” I pointed out ” Meet me at my house in 30 minutes and I will explain everything to you. ”
” Okay . I’m on my way right now ” she said then hanged up. I smiled proudly to myself . I will never run out of plans whilst I’m still alive and kicking .
If someone in this family is playing me then they should prepare to be served . I rather die fighting than giving up . Money here I come .!
? Ethan ?
After spending almost one hour pampering Annalisa . I took a long hot shower to clear off my mind before I went downstairs.
It wasn’t that late because I’m going to leave in a few hours and it’s almost nine . Perfect timing for breakfast I guess .
Everything happened so quickly this morning that I almost walked out of this house . I didn’t know who to comfort after the disappointing revelation . I just jumped to conclusions that Annalisa needed me the most leaving Isabella at the end . I did it once again , I have hurt her and I feel bad . I don’t know what’s wrong with me .
I found her staring through the window in her new bedroom . Daniel isn’t planning on coming back here anytime soon so Isabella has made herself comfortable in his room. Im so glad that she is the one staying in here instead of Daniel and beside , Daniel was always out with Cassandra . Finally they are going to get married soon .
” Im not sad or angry at you for what you did this morning so you don’t have to explain yourself. ” She murmured without glancing over me . I just sat at the edge of the bed with no intentions of coming anywhere near her .
” You don’t sound okay with what I did Isabella . You can tell me if I have done something wrong to make you feel this way . ” I pointed out ” I’m sorry that I wasn’t there to comfort you when you needed me the most . It’s just that I wasn’t thinking straight . ”
Isabella shoke her head , her brown hair was tied in a ponytail and she was wearing her gray sweatpants with a crop top. ” Don’t apologise at all . I’m used of being alone , crying alone more especially and I have realized that I will always be alone . ”
” Don’t say that . I’m here with you right ? You aren’t alone at all . You don’t have to cry Alone . ”
” Ethan , I may not be as kind as you are but I easily get jealous because I’m insecure . I grew up without knowing the taste of being loved back and when you finally did , I thought everything will be easier . I thought maybe you would put me first before anyone else but I was wrong ” she slowly turned around . Her cheeks were wet of with tears and my heart couldn’t help but crack a little because im the reason she is crying right now .
” I’m not perfect Isabella , I’m not like those prince charming guys who would sweep you off your feet with lots of chocolates and roses when you are sad . ” I murmured looking at her , showing her that I really mean every word that I’m saying ” I’m not going to lie to you that I will always be perfect , that I won’t ever make you cry or sad because I will eventually do , not intentionally though .”
” I’m not asking you to be perfect or anything Ethan . I’m not saying you should go out of your way to always make me happy . ” She slowly wiped her tears ” I just want you to stay when no one is willing to . I want you to hold me , hug me so tight because no one has ever done that . I may not be beautiful on the outside but inside I’m broken , I’m sad and lonely ”
” Come here beautiful . Let’s be sad together , let’s cry together in each other’s arms ” I held out my arms ” And I will always remind you that i love you from the bottom of my heart and soul . Nothing can change that , ”
Isabella slowly walked towards me . ” I feel like crap right now . I wish I could punch something so hard .” She whispered as she sat on my lap .
” Let’s go punch Annalisa so she can get over everything and be her normal self again . ” I brushed her back slightly and she smiled ” Your skin is so soft and warm. I wish I could cuddle with you right now . ”
” Let’s forget about the fact that you are leaving for now . ” She grabbed both of my hands and surprisingly placed them both on her warm stomach . ” I like it when you touch me. Your touch makes me forget all the bad things in my life even the bad thoughts in my mind goes away . ” I brushed her stomach not wanting to go far from there . I took out my hand out of her tank top .
I slowly brushed her beautiful soft pink lips with my thumb and Isabella didn’t nothing but stared at me . I badly want to kss her right now but I’m scared that if I do , I won’t stop at all . She is special to me and I’m saving her for the day I’m going to get married to her .
” Hello ! Hello ! I have been knocking on the door for over 30 minutes !” A woman’s voice half yelled downstairs and Isabella quickly stood up from my lap .
” Is that your mother ? Oh my g©sh !” She walked over the mirror ” I don’t want her to see me like this Ethan . What if she doesn’t like me …” She trailed off as she brushed her hair .
” Babe relax , that doesn’t sound like my mother at all and beside she will love you just the way you are . ” I stood up and held out my hand ” Let’s go see who is disturbing us ” she happily grabbed my hand .
I squeezed her hand before we walked out of the room . I couldn’t help but think of who could show up this early morning . I don’t know anyone that would happily get in my house without knocking except my parents .
When we got downstairs . I found a tall thin woman wearing a red sundress with sandles standing by the doorway of the house . She was way taller than me and her face was full of make-up.
” Finally somebody showed up . ” She pulled her bags inside and I exchanged a look with Isabella ” Don’t just Stand there like statue Isabella . Come get my bags ” she pointed out as she took out her lipstick .
Isabella shoke her head no as she moved behind me ” Ethan , who is that ?” She whispered in my ear and I just shrugged not knowing what to tell her because I don’t know the woman standing in front of me .
” Ooh… silly me …” She threw her lipstick in her red bag ” I’m Amber Diamond , your wife-to-be . Your mother dropped me off here because the house we were supposed to spend the week in together burnt down ”
I stared at her in shock . Why wasn’t I was the first to be informed about this and beside this woman looks way older than me . This must be a joke because she doesn’t look nothing like the way my mother described her .
” Let’s go , lead the way Ethan. I want to see your room and Isabella please get off my man . ” Amber walked over me ” Come on hubby , Tonight I’m going to show you how I used to fuck back in the days ” she yacked Isabella off me and I felt like slapping Amber for doing that but I kept it cool because I’m not a fan of hitting women .
Amber seriously scares the crap out of me . The fact that she is way taller than me is intimidating . Now I have got three women under my roof and there is only one that I want beside me. My mother told me that she is a vrgin but she just mentioned that she is going to show me how she used to fk back in the days and beside I don’t care because I’m saving myself for Isabella . I don’t even know how I’m going to get out of this mess .
