The perfect Avenger

chapter three

Saturday finally came and we all met by the beach, we had tons of fun. Together with no care in the world.

Little did I know that evening will be the day, I lost my best and only friend.

I went to her home as usual, to tease her like I used to and to tell her about my happiness(Damien).

"Elena, I have something to tell you. Damien just bought me a beautiful dress. I took pictures of it. Here take a look"

"Wow, its beautiful" Elena answered nonchalant of what was being displayed to her.

'How come she get a handsome guy like Damien? I am yet to get a guy, he even bought her a one type of dress, he must be fully loaded. Is she tormenting me right now by telling me about him?'

"Thanks Elle, look at this we went bowling last week, and he actually won me a big teddy bear"

"Great"

'I will have him, I just have to, he is too beautiful to be with you Mira. I know its a harsh yhing to do as a supposed friend, but he is too much for you, i want a chamce too at love. Sorry if it turns out to be the sole purpose that ruins our friend, I just had to have her. Yes I will do everything I can to get him for myself or is because of that jewelry company you run that makes you attractive to them?' Elena thought yet again.

"Are you okay Elena dear? You seem quiet" Mirabella asked jolting her back from her thoughts.

"Yeah yeah just tired, I have a case and its bothering me"

"Care to share what it is about like we used to?"

"I would love to, but this one is classified" Elena lied through her teeth.

"Whoa! It must be some serial killer case if it has you this strung up"

"Yeah" she lied again

The envy has engulfed in her heart, that she was willing to see her friend fall.

------

"Damien my man, how is our new plan going?"

"Trust me to have made a huge progress, she invited me to work as a computer genius in her company"

"Great move, now you just have to you know? Get all her valuables, should we steal them or what?"

"Steal we shall Buddy, but this time its going to be in a brand new way. I am taking her fortune with me. So that we won't need to continue stealing and become, you know established. After all the reason we began stealing in the first place was to have businesses all around the world, so why not steal an already made company when the owner is young and naive enough to sign whatever files I hand over?"

"But then We will need a lawyer you see"

"Yeah I have just the perfect person to do the job, she has been making moves on me for months, I bet she would do anything I want her to do without hesitating."

"Wow!! Buddy you are a true prodigy"

"Just shut up, and help keep the accounts in check"

"Yes sir Damien". Said mockingly that they both laughed heartily.

A week later, Damien was in his house planning to go over to Mirabella's when the door bell to his house rang.

He hurriedly went to the door in hopes, that it was either Mirabelle who was at the door or his best friend and partner in crime. Only to meet her standing wearing seductive clothings.

"Hi Elena, what are you doing here?"

"Aren't you going to usher me in Damien?"

"Sorry, my apologies come in. Have a seat, do you want anything specific to drink?"

"No, I want something else, I want you"

"Whoa!!

'She is really serious about she wanting me to herself, well if I give in to your wants and desires, you'll have to turn your back on your friend and ruin her. If you can't do that, I will have you killed cause you won't ruin my one shot of being rich business man. I want to own as many companies as possible'

"Yes, Damien I want you and am willing to do anything to have you"

"I belong to your friend Mirabella I thought you two were close?"

"We were, look I don't want to hear her name right now. I just want you in me, Damien" Elena said parting her legs wide for Damien to look through.

'Damn, she is so beautiful. What do I do? Let me still act indifferent and see where this leads, can't wait to get into that'

"Look I don't know about this, I am not a cheat you see?"

Even saying that doesn't sound good cause he knows he was and much more.

Elena stood up and walked towards Damien and began pulling off his top just so she could touch and feel his upper part, something she has been fsntasising over since she met him at the beach, months ago.

Damien didn't try to stop her, he just watched in awe how bold she was.

Since she succeed in pulling of his shirt, she felt she was given a go ahead, so she reach for the lower part, but her hand was caught.

'You aren't going to have my valuable asset that easily girl, you will have to do something for me'

"Elena, look you are beautiful woman I can see that, but I can't do this"

"Tell me Damien what do you want me to do to have you all to myself? I will do everything even if it means giving you my share in her company"

"Well, you are a major shareholder. But I want it all, if you can't get me Vier, then we can't be a thing"

"Consider it done, consider Vier yours. Just make me yours"

"Alright let's make you feel ecstasy"

"Yes please"

Damien lifted her up and she wrapped her legs round him and they went upstairs.

Week's go by and Elena changed even more, she wanted Mirabella gone so she could proudly walk around freely with Damien since they are yet to get the company. They couldn't let on that they were courting just yet.

Then the day came when they would set their plans in motion, Damien made sure to spend the night with Mirabella.

So they went to work together that day and then Damien brought out some files for her to sign, which she of course signed because of the love and trust she has for him, she didn't go through the files. That was her mistake, she is just as Elena described her, she loves too much, trusts too much.

They continued their secretive lovey dovey until the papers were finalized by Elena who was of course a legal entity, and a week after on a Friday evening. A mail popped up on their screens(transfer of ownership) their joy knows no bounds. Damien and Elena celebrated that evening and were elated since they were now co-owners of the company, they hardly worked for.

Elena her supposed best friend, immediately filed a case against her (Mirabella) for theft that same evening, she couldn't wait to show off her boyfriend and soon to be fiancé to the world.

The next day, on a Saturday morning a day filled with luminous, clear and glorious day.

On this day, two men drove to her place of residence, and knocked on the door, they thought maybe the botton of the doorbell wasn't functioning.

Mirabella who doesn't like stressing another human and didn't bother to have a maid at all. Opened the door with sleepy eyes and was met with two serious looking men, at her door post. Immediately he recognized who they were she became alerted and asked,

"How may I help you, officers"

"Is this the resident of a certain Mirabella champagne?"

"Yes, you are talking to her, what can I do for you officers?"

"Well Miss Champagne here is a warrant for your arrest"

She opened the warrant letter and was shocked beyond measure, she saw right there that she actually stole her very own jewelry? And her company? She was about to say a word

"No..."

"You do well to remain silent whatever you say now can and will be used against you in the court of law." One of the policemen said placing a handcuff on her wrist

"If you don't have a lawyer, one will be provided for you" the other said and they led her to their car and drove off.

The onlookers present at the time of her arrest began murmuring,

"What could be the matter? What crime did she commit?"

"She is such a jovial person why would she be arrested?"

When they got to

Others took video records of how the famous owner of one of the most remarkable jewelry company Vier was arrested.

It immediately went viral in the city of California.

When they got to the station, they interrogated her but couldn't get anything to hold against her, but they didn't grant her bail either. Guess they were paid by the culprits to keep her there.

After some hours her lawyer and friend Elena came into the station and said at the counter.

I am here to see a certain Miss Champagne. I am her legal councillor, when they brought her out to meet her.

She looked at her with disdain

And of course Mirabella was too blind to see through her.

"Elena thank you for coming, what's this I heard about beinh charged with theft? I didn't steal my company I built it from scratch, you were there for me whilst I did all that."

"Yes, relax am sure its nothing"

"So are you here to bail me?"

"No way, I only came to tell you this, I will only say it once so listen and listen good. Damien is the new owner of Vier and I am a co owner as well. Also he and I are dating, we've been dating for months."

"What? How could you do this?"

"You have always been dating all the handsome men, you've always been looked at. But now that you are out of the picture, I will be able to have Damien all to myself.

"Two more minutes" the warden announced

"I thought you were my friend, how could you do this to me? If this is a prank stop it, its too extreme."

"You are so gullible Mirabella, you aren't fit to have all the attention. And this room this space you are currently in suits you better, you deserve this."

"Elena how... you promised to stand by me forever and ever"

"Stand by you, without being noticed? While you take all the good guys for yourself? While you become more and more popular?"

"Time up everyone" the prison warden announced

"Bye Mirabella wish you could witness my engagement but I guess you have to serve your jail time now"

Mirabella was dumbfounded, she still couldn't get herself together. Even long after her encounter with her best friend. She still wants to believe it was all a prank that she'll come back and say,

"I got you, lighten up"

Days went by but nothing happened.

She went to court and everything seemed a formality cause her fate was sealed she was sentenced to one whole year in prison over nothing.

It was at this point she recalled the words of a popular model who came to her company to purchase jewelries for her photo shoot, some time back. On that fateful day, the model said,

"Mirabella Champagne, it's good to see you."

"Likewise, come let me personally show you around and I will give you a discount by gracing my company with your presence"

"Sure I would love that."

They walked round after she had bought everything and paid, she said to Mira.

"I saw your picture with a certain Damien Hulk, rumours have it that you are both seeing each other is that true?"

"Yes, we are courting." Mirabella answered smiling

"Wow!! Nice, but then there is something I would like to tell you about Damien Hulk, he is my ex boyfriend. And one thing behind that charade of his, is he is a thief and a cheater. You should be careful around him. Keep all your documents in check. Because he stole from me, but I couldn't get him jailed because he has connections and he was out in no time."

"Okay thanks for the information, I'll be sure to keep it mind"

"Stay away from him Mirabella or you might suffer much worse than I did"

"Thanks Alla Vermont, thanks for looking out for my well being"

'Whatever, she just wants me to let go of my happiness, what a jealous freak. Gosh if you want your ex boyfriend back just say so, why accuse him of theft. He is has a stable job duh! Well am not falling for this little trick'

Those were her thoughts that day now that it actually came true, she cursed herself for days over not listening to good advice.

While lying down in her cell, plans of how to make them pay and regain her company filled her thoughts. She just couldn't wait to get back at them for this disgrace and betrayal.

After lonely nights spent in jail with no comfort except from her mother Coco who visited from time to time. It would have been so unbearable.

The day finally came. The day for her release. After spending a whole year and some days with her fellow inmates she was finally free. Freedom at last as he walked outside with the same outfit she wore when she got in at first.

She became thankful for natural and little things like sunlight, fresh air to fill her lungs with, Freedom of movement.

She returned back to her former apartment, packed out and then mortgaged her house and cars to be sold.

Then she left to Coco's. Her mother already prepared sumptuous meals for her which she consumed happily.

After a week, her house was sold and her money was sent to her new account then she kissed her mom goodbye and travelled all the way to Los Angelos.

She changed everything everything about her, her hair. Her boho chic looks into a more defined and sophisticated person. With thoughts of how to get her company back, but before she does. She needs to find a job. So she applied for a job and she was accepted.

The boss of the distinguished company saw her and took a liking at her because of how diligent she is.

With hard work she earned a her current position as personal Assistant to the boss himself.

Years passed and they became friends, but never for once did she tell him about her past life. She wanted to keep everything secret until its time to take action.

She grew up became matured and sophisticated, attended business meetings most times without her boss.

She now goes by the name 'Mia Russell' leaving her past life and name Mirabella champagne a thing of the past.

She became the exact opposite of her gullible self.
