Mirielle Reign: The unforseen love

Mirielle Reign hurried down the road. She was going to meet her new boyfriend, Mark. All her twenty years, she had not entered into any relationships and Mark was her first boyfriend. It was on a weekend and Mark had requested to meet with her at the pier. She hurried down the road in the evening and clouds gathered in the sky and the wind blew heavily. The sea was now visible and she could smell the salty air from the sea, as little waves starts to form. She stood at the edge of the bridge and she saw a tall handsome man. It was mark and he was facing the sea with his back to her. Mark Anthony was the most handsome man in the fashion designing company she worked in. She was a new employee in the company. She came from a poor background but with her talent in design, She decided to look for a job to support her mother who was crippled in an accident and later abandoned by her husband who married his mistress. The funniest part is that Sheila, the mistress had a child who was months older than Mirrielle and she was the biological daughter of Mirrielle's dad. In the Galaxy design company, Mark was the CEO , Just took over from his dad, Shem Anthony. Mirrielle walked along the bridge towards Mark. "Mark, I am here," she began. Mark turned and faced her, revealing his handsome features. His bangs slightly covered his forehead. His three dimensional features would make a girl want to scream. His thin, sexy lips curled up slightly, giving Mirrielle some negative thoughts. He wore a white shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbow, Revealing his slender sexy arm. He smiled viciously and walked towards her holding her slender waist making her feel uncomfortable. " M..Mark, i..i...it is the third day ....." She began trembling. Her face turning red. " So what? I am youre boyfriend now. We can do everything." With this he bent to kiss her but she shyly pulled off. Mark was frustrated. " What now?, we cannot even be intimate?, Are you just after my money? " He asked. Mark was indeed a big shot but Mirrielle was not that materialistic. " No i am not. I love you Mark. With or without money. It's just We are in public and people are watching us ." She said. Mark frowned and looked at her for a while, expressionless with his arms folded. Mirrielle could not tell what he was thinking. Without a warning, Mark took her arm and drag her to the shore. The sun was almost setting. Mirrielle did not oblige but followed obediently. They soon arrived in a fancy restaurant near the beach. It was well decorated and many people were present. Some ladies wearing bikini and others revealing clothes. Mirrielle was the odd wearing a beige dress that reached her knee and her long dull black hair that was not much taken cared off, tied in a bun. Her skin was slightly rough. She could not afford the skin care products because of her poor nature. She did not care at all because she now had a handsome rich boyfriend to take care of her from the bullies. The music was loud and night began to fall. A man walked to them when he saw them. " Wow ! Mark is this.....where did you get this ? " he said pointing at Mirrielle. Mirrielle looked down embarrassed. Mark looked at her and scoffed. " Oh, this?, this is a new one. " he said. Mirrielle furrowed her eyebrows. He did not introduce her as his girlfriend. " Hahaha ! New one, It looks old already. Buddy what about beauty you can give her to me." said Larry jokingly. Mirrielle blushed. These men were bargaining over her ? . Is she really that beautiful ?. She was told countless times that she was ugly, With tanned skin for overstaying in the rural. Mark frowned. " She is still mine understand??" Mark almost shouted. Larry looked at the girl who looked down ,blushing really hard. What a fool. He thought. He leaned closer to Mark's ear and whispered. Mirielle raised her head to watch. " You are a hot play boy. But you choose this duckling. What if beauty Natasha finds out? " asked Larry. Mark's face darkened. " She came?? " Mark was shocked. Larry laughed loudly and he nodded. " No. She has not come. She had gone for tuition remember?". Said Larry and he leaned again to Mark's ear. " If finished with the duckling give it to me. Someone needs a mate. ...... No no not me, I don't use ugly rough ducklings." Said Larry and gave Mirielle a glance and disappeared in the crowd. "Youre friend is weird." Said Mirielle. "Don't mind him. Come hear." He said putting on a smile while pulling her to a table. " Well Mark, You should have told me earlier you would bring me hear. It is already late and my mom is worried. Actually the electricity bills ..... I mean we have no power and my mom is in the dark. I bought a candle and food. I need to cook too for my mom. And....." Before she could finish, Mark interrupted. " Easy.....easy young lady. You have me now, a billionaire. I will pay for youre bills and drive you home and even cook for you and youre mom." Mark said while pulling a bottle of red wine and poured it into two cups and gave the overjoyed Mirielle one. She was finally going to have electricity in her cheap apartment that crawled with cockroaches. She held onto Mark's hands and his body shrank when he felt her calloused hands. He was disgusted but since he wanted to have fun, he held on. When he first saw her in his company looking for job, it was just the time he was given the role of the CEO. She was dressed in her faded black jeans with a new cheap blue shirt. And her sandals that was just fixed by the cobbler. He intended to dismiss her but an idea struck him. How dare she, a poor stupid country bumpkin come to his company? He wanted to teach her some lesson and the time had come. He smiled awkwardly as he withdrew his hands placed them beneath the table and wiped them with the table cloth and then gave her the wine to drink. Some ladies looked at them, shocked. " Hey Solenta , Is that Mark! is he dating her? Did he broke up with Natasha??" Asked Sandra. Solenta already tipsy squinted her eyes. " Impossible you know Mark is a playboy, But he loves Tasha so much. Should we tell Tasha...no the warthog probably took advantage of him. Let us go and dance Sandra. She will be kicked out soon. Let's go get drunk" Solenta said while she pulled Sandra in the crowd. Mirielle tasted the wine and gave a humming sound, for she had not tasted something like this before. Mark watched her, feeling disgusted and smiled awkwardly. " You are beautiful Darling." He began. Mirielle blushed really hard. The handsome man in the country just told her she was beautiful!. She raised her glass nervously and drank the wine all at once. She was not a good drinker and she was already drunk. Mark did not take his wine but he watched her getting drink, adding her more drink after every minute. Without realizing, She had drunk seven glasses of wine and she was extremely drunk . She laughed and made noises. Mark frowned and took her away. Mirielle hugged Mark but he withdrew her arm. " Behave yourself ugly. I do not love you. Well this is youre punishment for looking down on my company. How dare you a filthy mammal come beg for work in my company? You got some nerves. You do not belong to the same ladder with us. " He said and threw her on the ground. " Mark.... Wha....what did.. You say? .... Hahahaaaaa.... You will mmmmary me right?? Let us get married." She said while hugging Mark's neck tightly. A shameful night it was.
