Chapter 61

Miranda's POV

"Hello Miranda, did you miss me?" Lucas said with a sinister smile as he sauntered into my bedroom where I was helplessly tied up. Anger and confusion welled up inside me as I glared at him, demanding an explanation for this betrayal.

"What is the meaning of this, Lucas?" I seethed, my voice laced with a mix of fury and frustration. "Why am I being held hostage in my own territory?"

Lucas chuckled, relishing in the power he held over me. "Oh, Miranda, you always were a pawn in my game," he sneered. "You failed to deliver on your promise, so now I'm taking matters into my own hands."

A flashback surged through my mind, reminding me of the audacity with which Lucas had barged into my mansion. His confidence had unnerved me, as he boldly demanded to see me. At the time, I had underestimated his motives, but now it all became clear.

"What did you want from me, Lucas?" I questioned, my voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and indignation.
