>* God of the lightened part, lead me, guide me, show me the way. And thank you for your patience. ***** Mira went back to her room where she freshened up before going to bed.At first, she wasn't able to sleep as her mind kept bringing back the memories of earlier, how she shared her first kiss with her best friend.She remembered how Joseph stared lovingly at her and told her just how much he loved her.It was now she realized how blind she had been.It was so obvious that Joseph loved her that almost everyone around was aware. Well, Perhaps it's because she didn't feel good enough for him. So that fuelled her belief into thinking he could never fall in love with her. But now she realized just how wrong she was! He actually loved her!So that really explains why he had been overly kind, nice and caring towards her, it's just too beautiful!“ Aw. Jose loves me! ” She exclaimed in her mind. To her, Joseph meant everything. She knew that apart from her creator Joseph was t
>* We are bankrupt in our own ability apart from Christ. Without God, we are helpless; with him nothing is impossible to us. *****Mira came downstairs for breakfast later in a pink top and white pajamas pants. “ Good morning, nanny. ” She said when she got to the breakfast table and saw nanny sipping a glass of juice. “ Oh. You are finally here! How was your night? ” Nanny stared up at her with a smile.“ It was fine, Nanny. ” Mira said, taking a seat and serving herself some rice, veggies and turkey slices.“ That's good. How was your cousin's birthday party yesterday? ”“ Well. It was fine. ” Miranda replied, avoiding her gaze.“ Really? ” Nanny said with a deeper meaning.Mira looked around and when she didn't see Joseph around she was about to ask after him when Nanny Interrupted her. “ He went for his morning run. I can't help but wonder why he isn't back yet. ”“ Oh. Thanks for the information, Nanny. ” Mira said before she commenced eating her food.“ Hm. ” ****Lat
>* Each of us can succeed at being everything God intends for us to be. *****And at last, Mira found Joseph in the garden and got hold of him.He was lying face upwards on the grass as he admired the clouds, before he was disturbed by the angry Mira.“ You. How dare you! ” Mira screamed as pounced on him, hitting him on the chest.“ Hey, what's wrong, Mira? ” Joseph asked softly, but didn't get a reply.“ You jerk! How dare you tell me that! How dare you ignore me after what happened! ”“ What happened? ” Joseph inquired innocently not knowing what she's referring to.“ Don't you dare pretend not to know! You took away my first kiss and now you are pretending to be innocent! If you think I am that cheap, think again! ” She continued hitting him as she cried.Just then, realization dawned on Joseph. He didn't mean to ignore her, he just wanted to give her some space, but he never would have thought things were going to turn out this way.“ Am sorry, Mira, I — ”“ Sorry? After ev
>* Money follows people who follow their dreams. * ****Meanwhile, at Edison's mansion.The atmosphere was a little somber as the whole family sat on the couches in the living room in deep thoughts. “ Mom, Dad, what would happen to me if Mira came back to fight for her rights? ” Elina said with tears in her eyes as she embraced her fiance. “ That can never happen! ” Her father said, banging his hand on the desk.Elina's heart leaped from the sound made from the contact of her Dad's hands with the table. She could already feel his anger and it made her frightened. Being very well aware that her father's anger is usually not a good thing. She kept her mouth shut. “ Please calm down, Honey. ” There's nothing that wretched girl can do now. " Elina's mother consoled him.“ Don't get so worked up, Mr Edison. I assure you that we are safe. As long as we two families continue working together, there's nothing Miranda can do. ” Luke said. “ Hm. Btw, have you told your parents abo
>* One thing I know and I am sure of is that, you've got greatness in you. *****Joseph and Mira walked into the main house hand in hand. There, Nanny and Evie who had arrived earlier sat on the couch chatting.But immediately the duo entered, they turned their face to look at them.Their eyes were brimming with both curiosity and wonder.For some reason, Mira felt a little shy with how the duo were staring at them. She almost felt like they were boring holes into them with their eyes. Joseph who noticed this, squeezed her hands comfortingly. Mira felt a lot better by this and raised up her head proudly.“ So the good news is? ” Evie asked, tone filled with enthusiasm.“ Well. ” Joseph paused as his eyes moved from Nanny's to Evie and it finally settled on Mira whom he gave a dashing smile.“ Mira and I are now dating. ” He finally announced, intentionally emphasizing the word, “ dating ” to make the others aware of their new relationship status since they were always in a
>* Since you can choose your own thoughts, when doubts come, you can learn to recognize it for what it is, say, “ No thank you. ” and keep on believing! *****Meanwhile,Luke had just arrived at his grandfather's mansion.Somehow, the news of the sickness of the old man got released to the press so the whole area was covered with reporters.Luke tried his best to avoid the troublesome reporters but he only ended up getting stuck in the middle of them all as they shoved microphones and voice recordings of different sizes to his face as they took pictures of him.“ Do you know if your grandfather will survive this? ”“ What would happen to the company if your grandpa loses his life? ”“ What sickness or disease is the patriarch diagnosed with? ”“ Why are you the only one here? Where's your dad? ”“ Did something happen in your family? Did a rift break out? ”Their questions were so much and overwhelming, that he began to feel dizzy.He couldn't answer any one of their questions.
>* Stop living your life like you've got a thousand years to live. Rather, you should live it like you are going to die the next second. *****Mira had just descended the stairs, when Joseph lifted her off her feet and swayed with her in his arms. “ You are looking absolutely breathtaking, Princess. ” He said when he released her.“ Really? ” She was still trying to recover from the sudden shock, as a big blush made its way to her face at his words.“ Yeah. I wish I could keep you locked up forever so no one would see you apart from me. ” Though he'd said it a dozen times, his words still made an impact on her.“ Too bad you can't. ”“ Says who? ” He sent her a mischievous smirk.“ I — ”“ Hey there lovebirds! ” Nanny's voice Interrupted their banter.“ Nanny. ” They turned to face her.“ Aw. You look breathtaking in that dress, Mira! ”“ Thanks, Nanny. ”“ Hm. So since both of you are heading out for your first date I won't nag you too much. All you have to do is be back home b
>* Live each day of your life as if it were your last, taking on a whole new expression, valuing each and every moment that you are blessed with. ****** * Oh my! Happy 100 chapters, guys! * Days later,Miranda and Joseph laid on the beach soil holding hands.“ You know, Jose. I had always dreamt of a charming prince who would sweep me off my feet when I was younger. ” Mira revealed.“ Really, Mira? ” Joseph turned to face her, as she was completely stunned at her sudden revelation.“ Hm. I believe it's a result of the fairy tales I binge watched as a kid. ”“ Oh. I can't help but wonder why you prefer being called a Queen, than a Princess. ”“ It's simple, a Queen rules while a princess doesn't. ” “ Oh. ”“ So if you are the Queen what does that make me? ” He asked.“ Hm. ” Mira placed her hands on her chin in deep thoughts. “ My concubine. ”“ Concubine? ” Joseph was stunned by her reply.“ I was just joking, Hehe. ” Mira grinned, ruffling his hair.“ Hey, stop that. ” He
