Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“That’s your folks, not my circus, not my monkeys” Mirabella glanced at Ben “So, what’s it gonna be, Ben? Follow your old boss or stick around and work for me?”
Ben looked from Mirabella to Yolanda, weighing his options.
Yolanda shot him a warning look, as if to say, ‘Betray me and see what happens
“Stay, and I’ll double your salary.”
At Mirabella’s words, Ben quickly changed his tune. “I’ll stay and work for Ms. Bennett.”
“Well, aren’t you a flip flopper?” Yolanda was taken aback by the speed of Ben’s change of allegiance. One moment he was all respectful to her, the next he was siding with Mirabella.
“Throw her out and anything related to her. Replace everything they used in this office
“Yes, Ms. Bennett,” Ben said, then politely asked, “Ms. Melton, could you please gather your belongings and leave”
“Ben, you’re being such a jerk!” Yolanda glared at him, grifting her teeth. “I treated you well when my dad was in charge!”
“But he never missed a chance to take his anger out on nie.” Ben rolled up his sleeves to reveal a bruised arm. “He’s been losing his temper on me a lot lately because his business isn’t doing well. If it weren’t for my mortgage and car payments and a family to support, I would have quit already.”
Now, having a new boss and a doubled salary to boot was a good thing for him.
“You!”
“This way, please.” Ben gestured for her to leave.
Yolanda was livid. She glared at Mirabella and said, “Don’t get too cocky!”
Upon hearing this, Mirabella raised an eyebrow and said, “Ben, check if she stole anything from my office before letting her go.”
“You.” Yolanda was taken aback by Mirabella’s assertiveness.
“Yes!” Ben made another inviting gesture: “Ms. Melton, please cooperate and step into the next room.”
“What for? You want to search me? That’s illegal!”
“We’ll have law enforcement look into it.”
Sitting on the couch, Mirabella added casually, “I suspect she may have brought items containing company secrets. Let’s have the police check.”
“You.” Yolanda couldn’t believe how overbearing Mirabella was being.
Eventually, Yolanda was searched by law enforcement. Her belongings were turned upside down, and then she was thrown out of the company premises, belongings and all.
Meanwhile, Mirabella convened a meeting, confirmed her position, announced the company’s future plans and salary packages, fired a few of Demetrius’s people, and then left the company.
At the police station.
Olga was sobbing loudly, claiming her innocence one moment and blaming everything on Mirabella the next. She talked until she was blue in the face, but no one paid her any attention..
The room was small and empty except for a single, wobbly light hanging from the ceiling, an unsettling sight.
Soon, the door was pushed open.
Olga thought it was Yoli’s lawyer coming to her rescue. She got a little excited, but when she looked up, it was Mirabella and her two associates.
The sight of Mirabella made her panic. She tried to back away but was brought before Mirabella by the two associates.
“What are you trying to do? This is a police station! If you dare to mess around,”
Mirabella grabbed Olga’s hair fiercely, just like how Olga treated Grace back then, making her actions even more ruthless.
“You treated Grandma like this, didn’t you?”
Mirabella held her hair with one hand, slapped her harshly with the other, and then shoved her away with force.
Olga’s body hit the wall; the pain was so intense she couldn’t even muster a scream.
That’s exactly how she slapped Grace and then pushed her, causing Grace’s back to smash against the bed’s headboard.
Olga didn’t expect Mirabella to come today to recreate the “crime scene.” She was so scared she wanted to call for help: “Help me, is anyone there?”
Mirabella suddenly turned her head, and one of her men immediately covered Olga’s mouth.
Just like how Olga covered Grace’s mouth back then.
Olga struggled to breathe. She fought hard but couldn’t resist the man’s strength.
“How does it feel to suffocate?” Mirabella asked coldly.
Olga didn’t expect this girl to be like a devil, devoid of humanity!
“Now you can experience how Grandma felt before she died.”
Mirabella leaned against the bed, watching Olga about to suffocate, and then her mamlet go of Olga, allowing her to gasp for air before covering her mouth again. This cycle continued.
Olga struggled; she wanted to call for help, but Mirabella pulled out her phone and waved it in her hand. “You want it?”
In despair, Olga looked at the phone in Mirabella’s hand, trying to grab it, but Mirabella’s man wouldn’t let her have it so easily.
“You want it? Well, you’re not getting it,” Mirabella said it coldly.
After being tortured by Mirabella for a while, Olga sat on the ground, gasping heavily and feeling like her brain was about to be deprived of oxygen.
She wanted to call for help, but not a sound could come out of her throat. She remembered the image of Grace suffocating; Grace must have felt the same, both furious and desperate.
“Admit your crimes, reflect in prison, be a good person, and stop doing evil things.”
Mirabella finished, and seeing her not responding, she said coldly again, “Can’t you hear me? Are you deaf?”
Instinctively, Olga covered her ears, afraid Mirabella would yank her ears like she did with Grace’s.
Mirabella noticed her quick reaction: “You think you can escape?”
“Mirabella, what the hell do you want?”
“How many times Grandma was beaten, how much she suffered, how long her ears were pulled. I want you to pay back double!”
“I’m still your mother! If you treat me like this, you’ll go to hell!”
“The one who’ll go to hell first is definitely you. Mirabella said coldly, “You still want to talk about feelings with me?”
