Mirabel

Chapter One

He gently makes his way through the leaving room making sure not to disrupt anything in the process of walking through. He has been in the house many times , losing count of how many times, yet the beauty of the house never ceased to amaze him.It always seem as if the upholstery of the house and the beautiful chandelier mocked him of something that was eternally beyond his reach.

He made his way through Mira's bedroom, though he has always wondered how a girl of her age could have achieved that much within a short period of time. He knows Mira was into shady deals, how shady is what he doesn't know. He has crushed on her for about a year and then snapped out of it because he knew it was only a wishful thought. People like Mira doesn't give people like him the time of the day.

Maybe his present assignment to get rid of her would have been a little difficult for him if only by chance she had glanced at him even once. But every one knows Mira is a b***h with a capital B. When she is angry , she makes sure everyone around her feels the heat. She rarely entertain friends in her house, she does that at a guest house in town, and the one time she decided to throw a party in the house, it was a mess.

With strippers and a lot of booze,since then it has never happened again . Some night Mira comes home drunk, he has often wondered how she hasn't gone crazy from living alone. There was no maid now because the last one was sacked due to some flimsy mistake, he knows she was on the hunt for a new made that is why they need to move fast because having another person on ground might obstruct them.

Besides killing another person was not in their agenda. He knows that Mira will be back anytime soon it was already dawn so he made his way back downstairs , got his appropriate secret spot and hide. Killing Mira will not be easy, He has to make it look like an accidental death. he could feel his hand sweating profusely under his gloof, he was nervous, he has never killed in his life, but he needed the money , he was tired of his status.

Those who sent him promised him a lot and he couldn't wait to get his hands on them. He heard her blare and hid himself prepared.

Mira blared again this time, muttering a curse under her breath, she blared again before she remembered that she had given her gateman the night off, she hisses again and got out sluggishly, she was semi drunk.

She had partied all night but had not taken enough to be completely drunk but she was tipsy. She brought out the key opened the gate, got back into her car and drove in, she clumsily got out, got her bag and grudgingly went to close the gate. She remembered her sister advising her to get a remote controlled gate the last time she visited.

The thought of her little sister brought smile to her face. She drunkenly made her way into living room not giving a thought to it, she threw her bag on the couch and made her way to the mini bar to get a drink, she was so confident in herself that she was not drunk and one or two shots will do no further harm. She gulped the first round down all at once welcoming the burning sensation. She got the second one and was taking it to her lips when her cell phone rang.

Letting out a slow hiss she got up to get the phone , she swayed on her feet rubbing her temple,she knew it was the beginning of her migraines, she made a mental note to use from her proscription before going to sleep

'Hello' Mira slurred into the phone

'Are you drunk, it's early hours of the morning Mira' The person on the other line shouted incredulously.

'Mabel' She called her sister's name asking a question

'Who else, you have another sister somewhere that I don't know of?'

'Hello sis' Mira smiled trying to picture Mabel speaking and rolling her eyes

' I miss you sis' Mira purred

'is that why you are drunk at 6am?'

I am not drunk, I just have migraine'

'Are you lying to me now'

'Mabel seriously I am the eldest but most times u behave as if you are the eldest ,I should know when I am drunk,don't you think?

She heard her sister sigh exasperatedly on the other side before mumbling a simple ok

'I will just pop my migraine drug and get to sleep'

'Don't you dare use a pain killer with a stomach filled with alcohol' Mabel sounded agitated

'Calm down doc, I have been taken care of myself for long'

'Taken care of yourself as in taking pills on a stomach filled with alcohol'?,are you trying to kill yourself?' Mabel was getting very angry right then.

' Chill sis, I am not going to die yet, not until I see you graduate medical school though' Mira laughed

'its not funny Mira,you need to stop doing that'

' Take a chill pill babe, is it the doctor in you talking or the sister' Mira seems to be having too much fun rolling Mabel up.

' It's the sister in me talking Mira, you are all have got, if anything happens to you, I don't know what I will do.'

' Nothing will happen to me, at least not now. Even if that happens your future is secured you know that right?'

'Mira please be careful, you make too much jokes with serious matter'

'ok,ok.' sobering up a bit. 'I promise to take extra care of myself, ok mum'

Mabel chuckled softly on the other side.

' Yes'

'Let me run along now,I will talk to you when I am sober and free of this nagging headache'

'Alright sis, I love you'

'I love you'

Mira hangs up with a hint of a grin tugging on her lips. She loved her sister no doubt but Mabel can be a worry wart. She knew she was proud of her baby sister even if she doesn't mention it often.

Her coming top of her class in high school to make it to medical school in one of the most prestigious schools in the country never seize to make her smile all the time. At least her sister is having a shot at what she couldn't do.

She picked her shoes, making a mental note to call the agency to ask them when the maid will be coming in. Her soon to be attacker watch her make her way up the stairs.

Looking at her from his position,a mixture of guilt and pity rose in him but he quickly stems it.

This has to happen tonight. He washed her enter into her room and close the door before he made his way towards the stairs with one aim in mind, to end it all for Mira
