Some of the students who weren't used to seeing the three of them together gossiped while some wondered what caused the sudden change. They ignored the gazes they got as they headed to their classes. At the assembly, the disciplinary team apologized to both Miranda and Joseph for punishing them unfairly. Nevertheless, the fact that they've been once suspended and sent to detention will forever remain a stain on their school record. They couldn't care less though, since their final exams are in just a few weeks time and they are super focused on that. Vera Lynn on the other hand, had been taken flown out of the country overnight. Miranda heard from her sister that she'll be homeschooled till she finally writes her final exams and gains admission into Harvard. *** —Miranda— One wee
> * Are you willing to trust God's timing before you make a decision? * **** * Happy 60 chapters, readers! * Saturday, The trio were all seated on the couch in Evie's music room. As Evie's parents were music progenies. They've got diverse kinds of musical instruments ranging from the simple flute, the guitar to the piano and saxophone. The instruments were all in different shapes, colors and sizes, giving the trio a variety to choose from. Being a lover of the violin. Mira chose a medium sized golden colored one. Evelyn chose the guitar while Joseph went for the piano. “ Are you guys ready? ” “ Of course! ” Evie and Joseph replied in unison. “ Great, so the song we are going to be singing together is — ” Evie interrupted her words. “ You say by Lauren Daigle. ” “ Perfect. So to all the readers and listeners we hope that this song will remind you that you are enough and help you realize that your self worth isn’t in what people think of you but — ” Evie interr

A day we are supposed to feel so loved and cherished. In a nutshell, it's a special day that should be celebrated with loved ones. The question is, does everyone feel this way on their birthdays? **** ------ Author's POV ------ “ Hey Mira, wake up! ” Evielyn attempted to wake the sleepy head who was still cuddling her pillow tightly at eight o'clock in the morning. “ No. I want to sleep more. ” Mira whined subconsciously, pulling the blankets closer. “ That's not happening. You have to wake up now! ” Evie made her point as she pulled off the blanket. “ What is the problem with you, Evelyn? Miranda was filled with rage at having her sleep interrupted. “ It's not even morning yet! ” “ It is. ” Evie walked towards the curtains and lifted them, allowing bright light to come into the room. “ See? ” The la

Her sister Lyra Raymond is a well known fashion designer and researcher, who resided in Paris with her fiance. Given how up to date she was about everything regarding fashion, lifestyle and social media, Evielyn never hesitated to go to her when she had questions regarding those. Looking at it closely, she realized that it was so far-fetched given how Joseph pays lots of attention to Mira's every need and want. He'd always been there for her, Education wisely, Health wisely and financially wisely even though the latter had complained a number of times about him spending his money on her. He just wouldn't listen. She could recall how pale he looked whe
> * The real reason God doesn't announce his timetable to you, is for you to trust his timing. * **** ------ Miranda. ------ I've been filled with curiosity and wonder from the moment I woke up. But come to think of it, the suspense had actually started yesterday when Jose asked that I stay over for the night. Though it'd been a normal thing, yet it was so sudden. Evielyn had also decided to stay over which had never happened before. Not only that, they'd also asked me to take a day off from work, which I have rarely ever done. “ What's going on actually? ” I thought to myself for the umpteenth time. I stared at Evelyn beside me, who I still haven't forgiven for interrupting my beauty. She'd been acting weird all day, asking me to freshen up, style my hair and dress up beautifully for an occasion I know nothing about. And now? She'd blindfolded me and was slowly leading me down the stairs. Can I know what's happening already? The suspension is killing me. It was then

I didn't miss the smile that bloomed on her face on seeing me. “ Hey, Birthday girl. I hope you liked our surprise. ” “ I was stunned by it, Nanny. Thanks a whole lot. ” “ You are welcome. ” She beamed. “ You are looking absolutely stunning today, Miranda. ” Her comment made me blush. “ Thanks, Na. ” “ You know, Babe. Watching you grow daily into becoming a beautiful lady makes me emotional. It makes me think of the preteen who walked into Jose's life six years ago. It now feels like ages ago, doesn't it? ” “ Awn, Na. ” I closed the distance between us and wrapped my arms around her. Her words made me emotional as I thought about how much time had passed. I've changed from being a depressed and broken preteen into becoming a lady who's so matured and confident of the future. Oftentimes, I wonder where I would have be
> * God never delays without a purpose. * **** ------ Mira. ------ I wasn't expecting much, so was completely blown away when being showered with multiple gifts. Evielyn gifted me a diamond necklace with a red love shaped pendant. It was simple, yet priceless. Nanny gifted me a pack of hair clips and a set of pajamas. I received several miscellaneous items from my classmates and schoolmates which was very sweet. It was only after the gifting ceremony did I notice Jose's absence. Where could he have gone? I wondered looking around desperately. **** I went to my room to change my outfit, when the small party was over. There, I changed into a white jumper, blue jeans and some flip-flops. I was about to exit the room when my eyes caught sight of a spiral binded document on the bed. I advanced towards the bed and picked up the documents curiously, I was stunned at the opening title. ‘ Share Acquisition of Edison Corps. ’ Edison Corps? If I'm not wrong, that's my

You haven't given me a reply yet, have you? ” His words interrupted me from my thoughts. “ I haven't. ” “ When do you plan to? ” “ Soon. ” “ Okay. ” He advanced towards his wardrobe and got a t-shirt and pants from there. I stood there, watching him as he got dressed. “ Seems like you've acquired a new hobby now, isn’t it? ” His words brought me out of my stupor. “ What do you mean? ” “ Never mind. Anyways, I am taking my car out for a drive. Would you go with me? ” His offer was so sudden that I didn't know how to react. “ No. Yes. ” His lips curled up in a smile at my indefinite answer, “ Is it a no or a yes? ” “ What do you think? ” “ Are you flirting with me, Miranda? ” “ Me? Flirt with you? ” “ Are you asking me? ” “ Anyways. I gotta go now. ” He grabbed his wristwatch from his study desk and put it on. It was only then I remembered my reason for coming. “ Just a mi
