I Choose You by Kemi Adejumo (classic novels for teens txt) 📗

“I have sent the video, so let’s get to your part of the deal by deleting the recording” I went straight to the point

“Wow Jess , I didn’t think you will do it and so fast. I guess I underestimated your love for Christian” Mirabelle said

“Let’s just cut to the chase Mirabelle, you have to delete the recording”

“Fine, I will delete it” Mirabelle replied

“You must think I am stupid, I want to watch you delete the recording in front of me” i sneered

“Again, I underestimated you. Fine, meet me at the restaurant located at the back of the hotel. I will see you in thirty minutes”

“I will be there in twenty” I said and cut the call. Immediately, I took a cab to the restaurant and I got there in exactly twenty minutes. Mirabelle wasn’t there yet, not that I was surprised . I took my seat at an empty table and waited. Of course I don’t trust her, she might probably have the recording somewhere so I put on the recording of my phone. If Mirabelle is going to sly me, then we can both go down together.

In exactly forty minutes, she strutted in like a spoiled Princess.

“Sorry I am late. Where were we? Right the recording” She immediately took out her phone, played it first and then delete it right in front of me “It was nice doing business with you Jessica” she smirked

“This was not business, you threatened me” I said with anger

“Oh please Jessica. Now you are acting all holy . Yes I am splitting them up but you have also done the same thing. I mean you are the mastermind behind everything. You sent the video not me. That says a lot about how much you want them to break up. Don’t act like you are not happy about it”

“You are a monster Mirabelle and I don’t want to have anything to do with you ever again so stay away from me” I said out of anger and left the restaurant without waiting to hear anything she has to say.

Mirabelle smiled as she watched Jessica leave the restaurant. 
“Oh darling, you don’t know the storm that is soon coming your way. Taking Evelyn out of the game was a piece of cake. She was never destined to be queen but you Jessica were the pain in my butt. I didn’t think it will be this easy to take you out too. If I don’t marry Christian and be the next queen , then nobody else will”
