~Mirabelle~I moved closer, walked round her, examining her. From the tip of her hair to her toes, I examined her thoroughly."You're not even that pretty." I said to her with a smile. "You don't measure up to me in anyway, Rhea Gonzalez.""How dare you?!" She lifted up her hand to land it on my face but I caught her arm right on time and glared at her."How dare you think you can come here, to my husband's house, to my house, to my matrimonial home!" I said and pushed her back with her arm, making sure to leave her staggering on her feet. "Who the hell do you think you are?" She sneered at me. "You think you're some sort of trophy? Let me remind you that you're only a replacement. My replacement.""You're wrong about that. My husband was never into you. You should know that very well by now.""He was never into me but he got married to me? He got me pregnant?!" She snickered. "You're delusional, Mira Kenton.""No. You're out of your mind. You know the reasons my husband got married
~Mariano~I carried her into our room and placed her gently on the bed. Hee hands were still wrapped around my neck tightly. "Hmm... finally. It's you." She murmured out as she closed her eyes and allowed her hands drop from my neck.A small found its way to my lips. After a moment of watching her body movements, I noticed she wasn't comfortable in the dress she was wearing and so I got up to probably look for a simple dress to change her into since she looked very tired, tired enough to take a bath.I had just arrived back into the bedroom when I noticed that she had turned in her slip, making her shirt roll up her abdomen a little. Odd.Why was her abdomen looking weird?I returned to my position on the bed and got hold of her shirt as I opted to take it off her. And then I saw it.Her swollen belly.I knew her body better than I knew the back of my palm and this was no belly fat. Quickly, I took her shirt off her, making my new discovery even clearer and more pronounced.I ran m
~Mirabelle~He rubbed his hands over my back slowly. As soon as I was done, he helped me wash up and even cleaned the spot I had vomited on in our bedroom when I was scurrying out in a hurry.I sighed and tried straightening up but I couldn't. Then I slowly lowered myself onto the floor."Belle, are you sure you're alright?"I tucked my hands into my shirt. "I told you. I ate something bad.""This isn't about what you ate, Belle. You're not okay. You've been acting strange these past few weeks. We need to see a doctor. It could be anything serious.""I told you, Mariano. It's nothing serious. It's just something bad I ate. I'm okay! I'm fine!" I said, getting up from the floor."Then why don't you want to see a doctor? Hm? If it's nothing serious, tell me why you don't want to see a doctor. Or...could it be you're pregnant?"I froze for a moment. "You don't know what you're talking about. If I'm pregnant, I would know it.""Why? Because you're a doctor?""Mariano, can you please just
~Mirabelle~ I burst into the room with Mariano following from behind as I dashed into the bathroom to puke my liver out. I had been finding it very difficult to breathe toppled with the wave of nausea ever since my meeting with Gonzalez and when I drove into our compound, he was standing there. Waiting for me. And so I just ran past him and went straight for our room. I knew he'd follow and so I just ran straight into the bathroom and tried locking the door but he was too strong. I had vomited all over the bathroom floor before I could even see the strength to hold the door any further. "That's it. I'm calling the doctor." He walked out and just before he could get hold of his phone,I grabbed him and started pleading with him. "Please don't. I'm fine now, I promise." "You're fine?" He stared at me in shock. "You're fine, Mirabelle, you're fine? You're not fine. Something is wrong with you and you're not letting anyone know about it. Why is that exactly? Tell me, huh? What exactly
~Mirabelle~"Mira?""What?!" I snapped at Mason."Are you okay? You've been acting weird ever since Mr. Gonzalez arrival here.""Don't. Say that name, please."He stared at me for seconds. "I knew it. It's him, isn't it? Mira, you have to tell your father about him. He's not to be trusted. He's nothing but a threat and danger to all our lives here.""And you think I haven't thought of that? You think I haven't thought of telling my dad? Look, Mason, it's more complicated that you think. I can't tell my dad about Gonzalez. Because not only does he hold Mariano and I by our hair roots now, he also holds dad's too. He might hurt my father now that he's so close to him and I wouldn't be able to do anything to prevent it.""So you're just gonna sit and let him wreck havoc here in KGroup?! Don't forget, you still have his psychopathic daughter to deal with."Just then an idea sparked in my mind. I smiled. "Don't worry. I have a plan. He's here because he wants to threaten me by using KGroup
~Mirabelle~"Thanks for showing up." I said to Ryder the moment he opened his car and was about to get in. "It really means a lot to me, you know."He smiled down at me. "I'm glad I was able to help.""Hey." We heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Gen. I smiled and hugged her. "Hey. I'm the happiest you're here today."She tucked a strand of hair off my face. "It's the least I can do for my twin sister. Glad to be a part of... KGroup."I smiled. "I'll introduce you to everyone tomorrow. Gonzalez would be...a little shocked if not surprised. Think you can haunt the hell out of him?""Oh you underestimate me a lot, twin sister." A smirk was playing on her lips when she moved past me and got into the car with Ryder."Are you sure you don't wanna catch a flight with me? LA is like an hour from here!" I said, just as Ryder started the engine of the car."Don't worry! Ryder and I have an unfinished business to tend to somewhere around here!" With that, the car drove off.I was

~Mirabelle~"Good morning everyone." I greeted as I made my way into the boardroom.I only got replies from few persons so I just smiled and took my seat. The meeting had already started. I had just taken my seat when Gonzalez walked into the room and took his. My eyes met his and there was an unexplainable expression on his face. That had me almost gritting my teeth but then I remembered my plans with my new crew on taking him down. His days here are numbered. He wouldn't last long here anymore."Mr. Gonzalez," Dad called out his name with a smile. If only he knew. "Welcome. Please take a seat."He didn't even welcome me like that."Mr. Lee Jung," he called on the CEO of this branch. "Let's start the meeting please.""Wait!" I said, making each and everyone's activity come to an immediate pause. "We have someone new here in KGroup I would like everyone here to meet."The doors slid open and Genevieve walked in. Even dad was surprised."Everyone, I would like to introduce to you, Ms. G
