My Emotionless Goddess

” You will live long to see your grandchildren. ” Miranda cut him off. Regardless of whether she grew up in his care or not, he was after all her father m They say that blood is thicker than water. Despite her anger which of course she didn’t show, she still held him special in her heart. It’s no wonder she felt pulled to him and comfortable around him back when he visited her as a little uncle.

” I would love to believe so but I can feel your mother is desperate for my company. I never accompanied her enough and all I want is to join her and keep her company in heaven.” The king said, his eyes turned gentle but had a hint of grief in it.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

” You loved her!” Miranda stated her observation. It could be seen written all over his face. Her mother must have been the most precious person in his eyes.

” Very! It’s a pity she left so Young.” The king said and his eyes suddenly turned gloomy.

” Do you blame me?” Miranda asked again. She was afterall the reason her mother’s life span was shortened. Having a tumour in her womb and insisting to give birth to the child was the reason she didn’t stay alive for long. Maybe if she decided to get rid of the child, she might have lived longer or even underwent treatment to get rid of the tumour.

” I don’t blame you at all. You are the best thing that your mother blessed me with. You are the fruit of our love. The sign that I once had a loving woman in my arms who would do anything to ensure I am happy.” The king explained. Blame her? He never did. Although he first felt that his wife was more important than the baby, his wife convinced him that that baby will be the replacement of her love for him. She was the sign that she once Loved him more than her life. He had come to accept that fact and love Miranda a lot. Seeing her brought a huge smile on his lips. It was an added blessing that his daughter was a replica of his wife. Looking at her, he could still feel the presence of his wife in his life.

Miranda didn’t know what more to say, afterall she was not one to engage in emotional talks. ” I would like to see her pictures.” She finally uttered what she had been intending to say for a Long time. The picture of the previous queen was something you would never find in the search tablets. Miranda couldn’t tell if it was because she was a private person or the information was deliberately pulled down.

” Of Course, I have plenty of pictures of your mother. I can lend them to you.” The king said earning a raised brow from Miranda. ” You’ll still own them when am gone, for now, let her accompany me in my last days.” The king defended himself. He had seen how his daughter seemed dissatisfied by only being lend her mother’s pictures for awhile.

” Okay.” Miranda finally conceded. Although she didn’t appreciate the continuous talk of her father about leaving the world, she still knew it was inevitable. Her father was no longer the mighty and feared king who ruled the country with an iron fist. Looking at him now, he was feeble and had lost the will to live. How could he not when all he ever talked about was joining his wife in heaven.

After collecting a few pictures, Miranda strode away. She was still awkward with this new identity and did not see any need to hug her father good-bye. This was not something she was accustomed to and she wasn’t sure if she’d be anytime soon.

She was about to unlock her car when the annoying fly in the name of Nikolai approached her. She wondered what could be wrong with this guy. He was unpredictable and unfathomable. She could never tell clearly what his intentions were. One minute he’ll sound serious, the other he’ll be nonchalant like nothing in this world could faze him.

” You did it right?” He asked, his voice relaxed. Miranda could not sense panic or anger in his voice, it was simply plain. Looking at him, Miranda compared Nikolai with a blank book. You could never tell whether it was not written or coded with Mysterious message. She didn’t need him to say it all to realise who he was asking about.

” Yes!” Without beating around the bush, she gave an honest and straightforward answer. She was already aware that playing mind games with him will be useless. A direct approach was far more useful to this type of person.

” You have the guts Princess but don’t you know that a wounded and cornered animal is the most dangerous?” Nikolai asked unfazed.

” Desperation leads to mistakes. That’s the loophole I intend to exploit.” Miranda answered not trying to hide her plan from him.

Nikolai burst out laughing. The princess was more interesting than he thought. She was fearless and that’s what he liked most about her.

” You believe I am one of them, don’t you think by telling me your plan, I’ll foil it or warn the others to be careful?” He asked.” You are welcome to try.” Miranda challenged him and Nikolai burst out laughing yet again.

” Tessa Rogers AKA scorpion, secure her before it’s too late.” Nikolai said seriously, patted Miranda’s shoulders and walked away leaving a dumbfounded Miranda. If she was not wrong, scorpion was the name of a bomb expert who was running away from her country after she was accused of colluding with terrorists and bombed a city in country A. Did that mean sfe had been hiding in the country for all those years? But Miranda had no time to contemplate that. She needed to act asap. It seems like the rebels were targeting people with extraordinary skills in assembling and creating bombs. Just yesterday, it was Gabriel and now it’s another.

” I’ll send you a picture. Trace that person, irrespective of where he is hiding, I need the exact location in two hours.” Miranda ordered before cutting the call. She was about to enter the car when she caught a shadow somehow hiding behind a bush. He must have been eavesdropping on her conversation. It seems like the royal guards have been infiltrated by rebels. Anyways that was expected. To seize the palace, there was the need to seek internal spies to report each and every move in the palace.

Miranda paid no heed to the person and left with her car. She wouldn’t be bothered by him since no important information was passed in that call. Something clicked in her mind. Could it be…? It must be. But how could her father not notice? Anyways she’ll talk about that when she drops by later.

Miranda drove straight to their house. Their house? When did she start referring to Justin’s house as theirs? . Upon arriving she found him in the kitchen busy engrossed in whatever he was doing. Shedding and getting a trench coat and shoes, she walked to the kitchen and leaned on the door frame. Her Man looked sexy and hot while stirring something in the pot and alternatively chopping vegetables. After admiring him to her heart’s fill, sfe walked and hugged him from the back.

Justin, who was always conscious of his surroundings, had already sensed and identified her scent. He wanted to see what she’ll do and was pleasantly surprised that after gauging him, something he knew she did from the piercing gaze from her eyes, she hugged him. It was very rare for Miranda to initiate anything intimate so he quietly savoured her warmth on his body.

” You’re back?” He asked and was answered with a simple mm.

” Go and sit down, I figured out that you’ll be hungry so I prepared something for you.” He coaxed her . He could feel that she was tired.

” I am hungry but I don’t want food.” Miranda replied. She was hungry but More importantly, she felt worn out and wanted to recharge herself and what better than getting a couple of kisses from her man?

” Then what do you want?” Justin asked in his voice, sounding like he was telling her that anything she wanted he’ll get it for her.

” I want you!” Miranda said in a whisper and Justin felt like his brain fuse just exploded. He stiffened and a certain part of his body abruptly stood alert. Anyways you can’t blame him, it’s not everyday he gets to hear Miranda say such things. The Miranda in his mind was reserved and would never utter such kind of words not unless she was possessed or an imposter. Thinking about impostors, he forces his brain to wipe away that idea. He can still remember what happened the other time he had that idea. He still got the chills.

Forcing himself to calm down, Justin turned to look at his woman who was all of a sudden having a sweet mouth.
