Chereads / Mr Ceo's mentally unstable wife / Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

Daniella's fingers curled possessively around the drug bottle,the translucent container filled with sinister capsules that promised oblivion.

This was her initial reason for coming here in the first place,to ruin all of Xaden and Mira's hardwork for the past one year,to plunge her back into the dark abyss of intense mental illness,to make sure she never recovered and return to her old life,a life that she envied so much that it amounted to deep hate for her.

And with all these plans in her head,that was why she was enraged that that dog Shawn had insisted on following them and spending a night too,it seemed she would have to do something to get rid of that Shawn but then,that would be a very difficult one especially since Xaden trusted him to the core,but till then,it would be little by little,one gentle step at a time.

Daniella's eyes returned back to the mirror looking at the drug's reflection on it. " You'll be lost in the darkness forever Mirabel David" she hissed,her voice laced with deep hatred " and I will have everything I want, including your life and most especially..." She smirked,her gaze fixated on Xaden's picture with a possessive madness " your Man!!"

After a while, Daniella quickly arranged the drug in her pockets,it seemed she would have to start making her moves now since Xaden wasn't moving with her predictions.

Earlier on, after the accident she had predicted that Xaden would send Mira to an asylum for treatment and while she was there,she would sneak into Xaden's life and in a bid of consoling and helping him as a friend,she would start performing wifely duties and in the process she would do everything it took to get pregnant for him first and then make him fall in love with her and marry her and then by the time Mira woke up, Xaden was already hers.

It sounded like a good plan until Xaden refused to send Mira to an asylum and opted to take care of her himself which was quite surprising to Daniella because she had known Xaden since highschool and she knew just how uninterested and intolerant he was towards girls,he was short tempered,a no nonsense guy and above all stinkily rich,he was the dream of every girl back in school but then, he was aloof and untouchable, his charisma undeniable and above all, completely indifferent to the charms of women and so it was quite surprising that Xaden had that much patience to take care of Mira.

Ever since the beginning, Daniella and Xaden's family felt that since Daniella got to be Xaden's friend and Xaden never had girls as friends, Daniella then had to be the one Xaden would eventually choose to be with and with this thinking,the Bennet and the Reign family became even more closer to themselves, with high hopes that they would become family in the future with their children's union.

Even Daniella herself had thought so too,that there was going to be no other girl in Xaden's life apart from her even though Xaden showed no signs of interest in her.

The two grew up together and Daniella even had to give up her dreams of studying abroad so she could stay close to Xaden,she didn't want to leave for a while and by the time she returned,he was already snatched by someone else especially since he was the country's most eligible bachelor,fancied worldwide for his looks,wealth and charisma.

Funny enough, Daniella was right there when Xaden and Mira's love story started, something that seemed to begin the moment Mira stepped into Xaden's company and started working as an intern.

It was only a matter of days before Xaden noticed her and began to get distracted whenever she was closeby.

As at that time, Xaden had just rose to international fame wherein he had become a huge tinder to foreigners for which they fought to get,he had become a big shot and hence was no longer easy to come in contact with,he was always on business trips outside the country but despite his busy schedule,he always found time to go running whenever Mira's family had issues or when she herself was unwell, infact he even promoted her to be his personal assistant so she could go places with him,to everyone he had said he was only rewarding her for her hardwork at the office but to Xaden,he knew he just wanted to keep her close to himself, away from any bastard who was already eyeing her.

With all that Xaden began to do for Mira, going to the extreme for her,it became obvious even to the blind that he liked her, looking at the way she attracted him greatly even without her doing anything, despite the fact that she was middle class.

In just two months of Mira stepping into Xaden's company,she became all that he saw everyday and it didn't take long before their romance started to heat up the moment Xaden shamelessly moved Mira's office into his so he could see her every passing second.

The news of Xaden's interest in Mira soon began to spread through the company like wild fire and the craziest thing about the whole situation was that Xaden did nothing to stop the rumors from spreading.

Daniella at that time had done everything in her power to put an end to their love story which had just begun, even went as far as framing Mira for a huge company fraud but sadly as early as she thought she was,it was already too late, Xaden was already gone,he was already smitten damn bad that he could no longer see fault in anything Mira did.

Despite all of Daniella's effort,three months later,the two ended up having a secret court wedding. Right before her eyes a middle class intern that arrived at the office just few months ago become Mrs Reigns,an intern that she used to bully and make fun of for being so classless even though she was secretly envious of her beauty.

Daniella could do nothing but watch the man of her dreams in which she had been nursing for so long fall into the hands of another woman who made zero efforts to get him
