THE PRESIDENT’S DAUGHTER
SEASON 2 EPISODE 51
I turned around and saw Mirabel standing at the doorpost; it’s surprising because she c@m£ unannounced.
Mirabel: Fred, what was that you just said?
Fred: I think your b©yfri£ndand my girlfriend having an affair
Mirabel: Oh really?
Fred: Can’t you see their so-called friendsh!p? They’re having an affair right un-der our nose
Me: Mirabel…
Mirabel: **cuts-in** Wait, I’ll handle this (gesturing her hand towards me) You Fred, we had the wrong impression towards you
Fred: What are you talking about?
Mirabel: You’re not good for Promise and I’m telling you now to go your way and never come back, it’s a clear warning
Fred: Warning for what? Why telling me I’m not good for her? No, I’m going nowhere! You can’t tell me to leave. I love Promise and will not let go of her just like that
Mirabel: You’re not getting it, do you? Are you tired of being the son of a minister? That can be arranged and you’ll be the son of nob©dy. Are you tired of running your night club? That can also be arranged and the club will be shut down permanently. Or are you tired of living a good life? That can be arranged and you can imagine what will happen next
Fred: Are you threatening me?
Mirabel: Not really, just telling you what will happen the next time you show yourself to Promise or to anyone that’s related to us one way or the other
Fred: Can we talk pri-vately?
Mirabel: There’s nothing to talk with you, just go away. We’ve forgiven you for the wrongs you did to Promise and our trust that you betrayed, so just go now!
Fred: Why are you doing this? I really love Promise; I sincerely apologize for my shortcomings, plea-se give me another chance and I’ll be the best man I can be for her
Mirabel: Like I said earlier, we’ve forgiven you, but we’re not taking any chances no more
Fred: plea-se, I promise never to hurt her in whatsoever way again
Mirabel: Get out of here Fred!
Fred: Plea….
Mirabel: Get out!!
Fred: Ok alright, I’ll leave… but, I will advise you to watch those two closely; they have something hidden un-der the radar
Mirabel: One more word from you and I promise you’re not gonna like the outcome of it. Frank!
Frank: (from outside) Yes?
Mirabel: Come get this ingrate out from here!
Frank walked in with Jummy and two mobile policemen; they wanted to drag him out, but he behaved himself and told them not to t©uçh him that he’ll leave and he left.
Mirabel: (to me and Nancy that’s with her) it is done guys! Where is Promise?
Nancy: she’s inside, lemme go call her **ran off**
Me: Thanks for not listening to what he said
Mirabel: That’s nons-en-se, why would he be after the girl that’s cheating on him? And besides, I trust Promise can’t do such thing **walking inside**
Me: **confused** wh… what?
Mirabel: What? **turning around**
Me: What do you mean by you trust Promise can’t do such a thing? What about me?
Mirabel: What about you?
Me: Are you kidding?
Mirabel: **laughs** I trust Promise 100% and I trust you over 100% darling… so if I say I trust Promise, you should know your where you stand, and plea-se it’s enough, let’s not talk about what doesn’t make any s-en-se
Me: **relaxed** Yeah… that’s my fiancée
Mirabel: You said Promise refused to listen when you told her to break-up with Fred, hope she hasn’t fallen in stupid love with him?
Me: Which love? She later c@m£ back to her s-en-ses and broke up with him the moment he c@m£ here, that’s why he’s been talking ru-bbish
Mirabel: Oh…
Me: What?
Mirabel: I thought I was the one that took care of him not knowing that she alre-ady broke up with him
Me: Hey sweetheart, you did something great here, you finalized everything because if not for what you just did, i’m sure he won’t st©p coming for her.
Mirabel: Yea… I had to warn him to clear off so Promise won’t go throu-gh what we both went throu-gh in the hands of Marcus and Dorothy
Me: That’s right
Mirabel: Where are they na?
Me: Maybe we should go in there
Mirabel: Yea let’s go **walking inside**
Me: Sweetheart…
Mirabel: **turns around** Yea?
Me: You know we haven’t seen each other for a while
Mirabel: Yea, I know… (walking back to me) so sorry my love, I was just so focused on fixing Promise’ predic@m£nt
Mirabel: Missed you so much
Me: I missed you more
Nancy: **coughs** Promise is here o…
Mirabel: **breaking off from the hvg** Promise…
She went to her and they hvgged each other for some seconds…
Mirabel: How are you holding up?
Promise: I’m fine
Mirabel: Sure?
Promise: Sure **smiling**
Mirabel: Good then, I was so worried about you. Sorry for hooking you up with that p—–t, now we’ll un-derstand and respect your decisions
Promise: It’s okay… I un-derstand you guys were worried about me and you all care for my happiness, of which I appreciate
Me: Boring…. **tea-singly**
They all laughed
Me: Nancy, where the food na?
Nancy: I thought we’re discussing something important?
Me: Discussing what? Go bring food abeg
Nancy: Nawa o…
She went into the kitchen, Mirabel joined and they c@m£ with the food and we ate peacefully but Promise refused to eat, that she’ll eat the remnant beans later.
Me: Nancy, you should upd@t£ Vincent
Nancy: I’ve alre-ady done that but not in details though, I’ll tell him everything when we meet tomorrow
Me: Of course, that’s what you do best
Later that night when we all bade ourselves goodnight and went to our be-drooms, Mirabel and I discussed on many things before she sle-pt off while I was working in my website. It was around 11.pm when a text message c@m£ from Promise and it re-ad “Thanks for always been there for me, no one can beat the sp©t you have in my heart”
I smiled and replied her “I know that *wi-nkz*”
I took it as a friendsh!pthing and nothing else, and I’m sure that’s the same way she also took it as.
Then we started chatting like-pl@ylike-pl@ythrou-gh SMS where each message costs ₦4.00
Promise: Why can’t you just say thank you instead of that reply? It’s embarras-sing na
Me: Embarras-sing for what? Or don’t you also know your sp©t in my heart? *wi-nkz*
Promise: Whatever!
**Minutes later**
Me: Why are you still up?
Promise: Can’t sleep, trying to watch tv but it’s not helping, what about you?
Me: Surfing the web… you’re in the living room?
Promise: Yea
Me: Ok I’m coming
Promise: What about Mirabel?
Me: slee-ping
Promise: Ok
I put on a shi-t and went to the sitting room. I sat with her while we talked, tea-sed each other and laughed out till she felt sleepy. We bade each other goodnight for the second time that night then I walked back to room. I opened the door and met Mirabel who seemed to be going out. She st©pped when she saw me and then stretches her hand towards me handing my phone over to me.
The President’s Daughter
SEASON 2 EPISODE 52
The look on her face when she was handing
over the phone to me was so unusual; i
collected the phone from her thinking I got a
night call or something.
Me: What’s up dear?
Mirabel: Victor where have you been?
Me: What’s wrong that you even called me
by my name?
Mirabel: I’ve been up for some minutes and I
didn’t see you here or in the toilet. Then a
message popped into your phone from
Promise telling you to try and sleep
immediately you get into the room, I scrolled
up out of curiosity and found those chats
you both had, what explanation can you give
me Victor? I trusted both of you with all my
heart!
Me: Honey what are you saying? That’s
nothing I promise
Mirabel: Nothing?
Me: Come on dear, you have to calm down,
what is the thing you saw that’s ma-king you
to react this way? It was just a harmless
friendly chat
Mirabel: St©p ma-king a fool out of me, what
did she mean by nob©dy can beat the sp©t
you have in her heart? And you also
confessed that she also have a sp©t in your
heart, what kind of sp©t is that? You went
to meet up with her because I was slee-ping.
Victor why did you do this to me? Why? I
gave you my everything
Me: Mirabel you have to calm down and
allow me to talk
Mirabel: Of course I’ll let you talk, go on and
give me another definition of the chats and
the meeting you both had
Me: plea-se sit down
Mirabel: I’m fine standing
Me: Mirabel you have to sit down so we can
talk and reach an un-derstanding, this is not
how a couple can settle their
misun-derstanding
Mirabel: **sits down**
Me: (I sat down on the be-d too) you have to
trust me; I cannot do anything like that. She
was only thanking me as a friend and how
I’ve been there for her, that no one can
replace me in doing all that. Sweetheart
plea-se don’t misinterpret it. You know too
well that I can’t do something like that and
neither can Promise do such thing
Mirabel: Yes I trust you both, but that chat
is like that of those having an affair
Me: It’s nothing dear
Mirabel: Like when you said you’re coming
and she asked what about me and you told
her that I’m slee-ping before you went to
meet up with her… what did you even go to
her for by this of the night when everyone is
slee-ping?
Me: She couldn’t sleep just as you see in the
message, and I thought it was about Fred,
so I went to her in the living room to cheer
her up.
Mirabel: It’s just too suspicious Ok? plea-se I
don’t like something this. I have to say your
clos£ness with her should be redefined so I
won’t be suspecting anything plea-se… I have
never been suspicious of you for anything; I
always believe whatever you say until I saw
those disturbing messages that got me so
worried
Me: You have nothing to worry about dear
Mirabel: No let’s make some things clear,
I’m here to be your friend and companion
and everything you nee-d, so plea-se… your
friendsh!pcan continue but not this close
anymore
Me: Alright, no problem
Mirabel: I will let this go, but I’m begging
you now, don’t cheat on me and never give
me any reason to doubt you
Me: Ok my princess
Mirabel: I am very serious
Me: Relax na, it’s me oh… (Going for my
magic move)
Mirabel: You that got me very worried this
night abi morning
I threw my phone on be-d and drew her
closer to me by holding w@!st
Me: Sorry for the misconception… I hope I
didn’t lose any percentage of your trust for
me?
Mirabel: You lost 80% of it
Me: Ah!
Mirabel: Kidding buh you almost lost it
Me: That’s never going to happen; I rather
gain more of your trust than lose a single
percentage of it
Mirabel: Okay… now can you let go of my
w@!st so I can sleep?
Me: If not until you smile, I won’t
Mirabel: **She let out a fake smile** Can I
go now?
Me: Okay…
I let go of her, then she climb the be-d facing
the other side. I knew we were not all cool
yet, so I thought of doing something about
it. I joined her on the be-d and placed my
hand around her w@!st
Me: Sweetheart…?
Mirabel: What now?
Me: I can see you’re still mad at me, I will
just tell you what I wanted to tell you later in
the day **withdrawing myself from her**
Mirabel: What is it?
Me: Don’t worry… I’ll just tell you later
Mirabel: No I want to hear it now
Me: Ok, if you really want to hear it, come
rest your head on my shoulder
Mirabel: **Hesitating**
Me: Come na… it’s about our wedding oh…
When she hear that one, nob©dy told her
before she brou-ght herself closer to me.
Mirabel: Ok what is it?
Me: Uhmmmm… I think we should start
taking our pre-wedding pictures from now
Mirabel: What for?
Me: You don’t like it?
Mirabel: No, we don’t nee-d it
Me: Why?
Mirabel: It’s just not nee-ded, what are we
going to do with it? To post on social media
and all, I don’t like it
Me: I thought it’d be fun
Mirabel: You know what?
Me: What?
Mirabel: Instead of this pre-wedding thing,
let’s just have all the fun together without
the world knowing about it until the day
we’ll get married
Me: Okay…
Mirabel: And st©p holding my w@!st anyhow
anytime you want, because it’s not yours
yet.
Me: **Laughs** No problem, I’d be the proud
owner come next month
Mirabel: Until then, you’re strictly restricted
Me: It’s okay… I’ve heard you, we nee-d to
sleep now
I took my pillow and positioned myself on
the floor to sleep
Mirabel: What are you doing?
Me: Well… so you won’t rest on my che-st
later while I’m asleep, as it’s not yet yours
to l@yon whenever you feel like
Mirabel: Oh really?
Me: Goodnight, love you…
Mirabel: Goodnight!
**BLACK-OUT**
I woke up the following morning and saw
Mirabel resting comfortably on my che-st
while on the floor; I just smiled and placed
my hand around her w@!st.
Later that morning when Nancy has gone to
school, and Promise to her computer
institute leaving Mirabel and I in the house
while Frank and Jummy were also around.
Mirabel was in the kitchen preparing lunch
while I was in the room working in my
website with hollandia yoghurt by my side,
sipping it little by little until Mirabel
suddenly stormed into the room looking
infuriated.
Mirabel: Victor what’s the meaning of this
ru-bbish?!
Me: **Surprised and bemused** what is it?
Mirabel: I saw this diary somewhere in the
kitchen which is supposed to be for
Promise; take and look what I found inside…
