The Pawned Stud
chapter 47
"You sure you want to leave corporate responsibility to your husband?" Mark Taylor, Miranda Albert's father, asked while they were in a closed room.
Miranda just kept quiet, the woman was too sick to see her daddy's face. The figure he hated so much, after what his daddy did to his mommy before ending his life.
"I have the right to decide what I want. You have no right to rule me. Remember, everything you enjoy with your mistress comes from my mommy's family." Miranda was so easy to say rude remarks to her own daddy.
According to Miranda, he does not need to obey a traitorous and cunning man like his daddy.
"Yep, I know that. Daddy also needs time to take a sabbatical." Mr. Mark Taylor, speaking of his daughter. But inwardly, the man smiled with satisfaction. Eventually his sinister plans with the Rolex family will soon be realized.
After getting all his wife's inheritance, Mark would throw away his daughter.
He does not need to follow his heart as a father, because Miranda herself is not his biological daughter.
Miranda is the flesh of his wife's lover. Were it not for the treasure, Mark would have been reluctant to marry his wife who was pregnant with his twin.
Mark was forced to marry Julia Albert, Miranda's mother, due to urgent circumstances. She became the substitute bride of her twin brother who had an accident while traveling to the place where the wedding day took place.
Having no other choice, Mark receives orders from his parents under pressure from Albert's extended family.
They will destroy Mark's family company if he refuses to marry Julia. The Albert family did not want to take the risk of maintaining the good name of their extended family, with the incident that befell his only daughter. Moreover, their daughter is pregnant.
Hatefully, Mark took the vows and the wedding vows. Although he must ignore the feelings of his lover who is Julia's own friend who is becoming a bridesmaid.

"Finally, our dreams will soon be realized dear." Mr. Mark's wife cheered in excitement, upon hearing her husband's words. They were in a villa, having an important meeting to talk about something about their plans.
Rolex and his mother were there, drinking alcohol to warm up in the spring.
"When is he gonna sign the full claim to the lousy guy, is that?" Rolex opened his voice, after a long silence.
"The moment of her mommy's birthday, also the company's birthday." Mr. Mark replied.
The four of them looked at each other and smiled cynically. All this was their conspiracy to take over all the wealth of the Albert family, whose wealth controlled most of their country.
"Oh my God, at last, my dream of becoming the richest woman in the country is about to happen," said Mr. Mark's wife, who impatiently wanted to immediately own Miranda's fortune.
"Then, what are we gonna do with them?" Rolex mom chimed.
"We take them out, then the threat will disappear" Rolex said.
Mr. Mark and Rolex's mother throw each other sly smiles. It was so easy for them to master everything.
The four of them are back to party tonight. Celebrate success before everything will happen. Make their greedy dreams come true.
Without them knowing, what the four were talking about could be heard both clearly by Miranda and Hans.
The woman died a transparent recording device on Mark's wife's necklace. Miranda ordered one of the maids who this morning prepared the woman's needs.
Hans shut his mouth not believing what he had just heard. While Miranda was only speechless, it was as if she was used to their cunning plan.
In fact, Mr. Mark and his wife will think of a way to eliminate Miranda's life every day.
The woman gets into an accident, due to their devious plan that leaves Miranda paralyzed, until finally, Mr. Mark takes over the company's lead for a while.
Not only that, they even intended to make the woman paralyzed forever by replacing Miranda's medicines with drugs that would make the woman never recover.
One thing that Mr. Mark realized, that Miranda had intelligent thinking was also cunning. He just pretended not to know anything, to be able to dismantle all of Mr. Mark's evil plans.
"You okay?" Hans approached his wife who was pensively in front of the window. The man crouched down in front of Miranda, giving this wife a look of pity.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm not a weak woman, it's used to me. Even my every move is a threat." Miranda held onto Hans's shoulder tightly. Putting her face on her husband's warm chest.
"What are you gonna do? Should we wait for their plan?" Hans pushed his wife slowly, looking fixedly at Miranda's face.
"We'll see her later" she said, asking Hans to take her to bed.
"I'm tired" he lamented, as he lay on the bed.
Hans also broke his tall body beside his wife, hugging Miranda's slender body from behind. Gently wiping his wife's palm occasionally dipped his shoulders open, Miranda.
"Sleep, I'll take care of you" whispered Hans, leaving a kiss on the wife's cheek.
"I'll protect you from them too." Hans said inwardly, tightening his arms, feeling how fragile his wife's life had been. He is only forced to always be strong and tough.His life is even always and a threat.
