” why are you calling me?” Miranda inquire. She wanted to play dumb and maybe she could prolong the conversation long enough so that her special team could trace his whereabouts but alas! The man was no fool. ” Don’t bother trying to locate me sweetheart, it’s of no use, afterall i am careful not to be caught” Daniel said before bursting out laughing like the maniac he was. Miranda cringed hearing the name he addressed her with. It left a bitter aftertaste in her mouth. She hated it most when he called her that. ” What do you want Daniel?” Miranda asked, her voice impatient. she was in no moods to keep the conversation any longer after her plan was seen through. Miranda knew that Daniel was a witty and resourceful person. He was one who loved to play hide and seek and was very good at that game.” I get turned on when I hear my name rolling off your tongue so sweetly. Damn! it’s so intoxicating.” His dirty mouth spewed garbage and miranda wished she could just a dirty rag and cover that filthy mouth. He always makes her feel disgusted. ” shameless!” Miranda spat angrily. She did not try to hide the disgust in her voice.
Daniel was not angered by her words, on the contrary he found her interesting. Hearing her words, he burst out laughing like a crazy man. ” Shameless? i have always been like this. Do you find me disgusting because you are fucking that little prince?” Daniel asked leisurely causing miranda to raise her brows at his words. ” its none of your business?” Miranda spat out angrily causing the man to burst out in another round of laughter. ” How can it be none of your business? you are my favourite doll after all!” the man said his tone of voice suddenly turning to be dangerous by miranda was not fazed nor did she show any hint of fear. ” I . AM. NOT. YOUR . DOLL.” She enunciated every word showing her displeasure. ” What do you want? I will hang up if you don’t say.” Miranda was getting irritated and impatient. she had no time for this kind of bullshit. “It was you right?” He was on the verge of losing it now. Actually, he did not need to call and ask because he knew the answer to that question already. Nobody in this country had the guts to go against him and morgan corp with the exception of Miranda lambert!
” I dont know what you are talking about.” Of Course she would not admit to it. Why would she? it was all the same. She knew that he was damn sure that it was her doing so the questioning was unnecessary. ” Playing the ignorant here, are we? you don’t need to answer me, i know the answer very well.” He said. Just then, Justin entered the room he had converted into miranda’s study room with a plate of cookies in his hands. ” Honey, i brought you some desserts.” He announced sweetly. He was not aware that his woman was in the middle of a call so when he realised it, his expressions changed apologetic and turned to go back but Miranda gestured to him to come in. Ofcourse, the man’s voice was not missed by the villain on the other end of the call. ” seems like our little prince has turned to a service boy and slave.” Daniel taunted. ” Okay, i will leave you two lovebirds to enjoy while you still can. Remember miranda, i always collect my debts in one way or the other. You don’t know when you will lose something dear to you.” Daniel said and the air surrounding Miranda immediately turned cold.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
” Are you threatening me?”Her voice was unbelievably calm but Daniel was sure she was restraining herself . ” Easy now! Don’t scare your little lover boy, he is afterall a scaredy cat.” with that the call was dropped. Miranda stared at her phone for a few seconds and by the time she turned her gaze to Justin, she was smiling. Justin could tell that she was trying to hide her true emotions from him and he did not like it one bit. He could tell that whoever was on the call made her angry, her nose always flared out whenever she was angry. ” who was on the call just now?” he did not want to sound intrusive but his curiosity was getting the better of him. ” Nobody of importance.'” came her nonchalant reply and Justin just looked at her with a meaningful gaze meaning that he was not buying that. Miranda saw that Justin was not going to let this matter especially after he heard her ask if she was being threatened. She decided to come clean with him.
” That was the CEO of Morgan corp.” She answered honestly. Justin was taken aback by her words. Wasn’t the same person on the run after being accused with countless offences . Most importantly, he was supporting the rebels by importing arms illegally to equip the rebels. So how was his woman connected to such a conniving person? ” M-miranda..?” Justin stuttered but was interrupted by miranda. ” I provided the police with evidence against his crimes so that’s why he called to confirm or rather to tell me he knew I am responsible for his current plight.” Miranda explained and Justin was thankful that she somehow interrupted him. He thanked the heavens for sparing him from doom. This is because his imagination had run wild somehow. He had thought that maybe Miranda was finally showing her true colours communicating with the country’s threat. He had for a minute thought that she was one among them, the rebels. But still, he could feel that maybe his woman knew that man on a personal level. ” You guys know each other personally?” he asked. His poor heart was beating erratically waiting to hear her answer. He was afraid and felt something inexplicable. His heart felt sour and heavy. He could not understand why he was feeling this way.
