Mirabel

Chapter Two

Mira tiredly entered her room craving a very warm bath, with a head aching that much she wandered how she was still able to walk on a straight line.

She opened her side desk got her migraine prescription bottle and used the pills. She sat down on the sofa adjacent her king sized bed. The room was painstainkingly designed by the best designer she could get. She is not the type that likes bright colours, she has always liked it cool, and she had not speared any details to aid the interior decorator in giving her exactly what she wanted.

The room had a cool look to it, anyone with a keen eye can see that the person who owns the house doesn't have a flair for flash of colors. The entire house looks more like a bachelor's pad, because most female prefers colour but then Mira was not the regular type of female. She likes to stand out,and years of standing toe to toe with men that every normal female will dare not look in the eye has hardend her somehow. Colours and fairs are no longer her thing, maybe her younger version was a dreamer that loves colours but her present self only know to achieve damning the consequences.

As the edge of the headache begins to dull off, she got up from the sofa and unhurriedly removed her clothes,she got into her bathroom inhaling the smell and wrinkling her nose in feigned annoyance, smiling faintly remembering how she had to bath with her sister's vanilla scented liquid wash the previous day. She had ran out of soap and had forgotten to get it. She was so used to having maids do this things for her. She winced softly when she remembered that she has not called the agency just yet. She walked back into the room,picked her phone and called the agency's number.

They picked at the very first ring. Adjusting the towel wrapped around her chest properly she sat at the edge of the bed.

'Hello, this is SRT, how may we be of help to you'

' This is Mira calling in respect to the maid the agency said they were sending today' she explained rubbing her temple gently

' Sorry ma'am ,please can I get your last name in other to see the schedule for you ma'

'Williams' She answered ,rolling her eyes, Mira was that cocky, she threw her name around as if she was the only Mira in the world.

' ok maam' bringing Mira's mind back to the call 'your maid is scheduled to report at 9:00am.'

'Alright thank you'

'Thank you ma'am for choosing SRT, will that be all?'

'Yea' Mira answered absently.

Turning the idea of maybe postponing her bath until later, as she was beginning to feel sleepy. But on second thought she smiled at the idea of snoozing in the bath.

She quickly ran her bath,dipping her hand in it to make sure it is the correct temperature. She removes the towel unhurriedly and got in sighing in contentment.

While Mira made the call to the agency, he made his way up the stairs and listened quietly till she ended the call, immediately he realized that she had made her way into the bathroom, he moved sleekily into the room, the sound of the running water successfully masked the sound of him opening and closing the door.

He watched through the crack in the door, he washed her remove the towel and getting into the bath,again he felt the tightness in his chest, he dismissed it and got ready to do what he wanted to do and get out of there as fast as he could. He heard her making the call to the agency but didn't hear the reply on the other side,so he doesn't know when the maid will be reporting.

He needed to do the work clean and fast,before he start feeling guilty and jeopardize the whole thing. He had had time to consider it all and knew there was no way he was backing out,the money was one thing but the fear of being killed by those who approached him for the job is another thing to consider.

He watched her close her eyes as if sleeping yet he waited, he knew deep in his heart what he had to do, he planned this for a whole month,he didn't want anything to upturn his plans. Adrenaline pumped in him making his hand clamy. Immediately he noticed her chest rising and falling rapidly he saw she was actually asleep,he made his move.

He moved quietly into the bathroom and made a slow and steady move towards her.

Mira was deep in sleep, but she felt it immediately she was touched but she thought it was a dream, the hand pulled her down into the bath water but it was too late to act, her eyes opened in shock, she opened her mouth as she realized the person holding her down,her fear at that moment cold not outweigh her surprise,he was the last person she expected will hurt her, she struggled against him, she tried, opened her mouth to scream but swallowed water, she pleaded with him with her eyes immediately she realized she was at his mercy, he was beyond plea, he just wanted her dead so that he can leave.

He was surprised she was that strong for a woman the that was half drunk and drowsy, he held on and didn't let go till she began to go weak and stopped fighting,when he was sure she had finally drowned ,he checked for pulse and found none, her eyes were opened but lifeless.

To be sure she doesn't come back to life, he left the tap running with her still in the bottom. He took another look at herand ran out of the place with his heart beating fast as the realization dawned on him, he just killed someone, his very first kill.

He stumbled down the stairs and made his way out of the house without looking around, he needed to get somewhere to calm down before starting his day. The time was just some minutes before 7:00am.
