Episode 9 : Revealing the Truth
Why are you even crying mirabel?
Are you for real? I saw you Dean! I saw you.
Where? It’s not me, I’ve been home all day.
Please stop lying to me and take off your shirt, you’re bleeding..
I was in severe pains, I couldn’t lie anymore so I took off my shirt.. I felt my legs shaking.. I sat down on my bed.
Mirabel brought out pain killers from her bag, cotton wool, bandage and stuffs used In treating someone who got shot..
She was treating me and crying uncontrollably.. her eyes became swollen.. whenever she wants to stop crying more tears flow…
I couldn’t say anything but I have lots of answers to give to her questions..
I love you mirabel..do you still love me?
I’m not ready for that now Dean.
Answer me!! Do you still love me?
Yes, yes I love you..
I slept off.. while she cried herself to sleep..
I woke up in the middle of the night cause I couldn’t feel my hand.. I felt like I was dying.
Dean! What’s wrong?
I feel strange!
We need to go to the hospital.
I have no explanations to give to the doctors mirabel, just get me a knife, small one
Why?
Look here! I need to make it hot and bring out the bad blood, I’m sorry for stressing you.
She just went to the kitchen and brought out the knife, after doing what I know she bandaged it again and I slept off peacefully even with the pains..
She woke up before me, made breakfast, my conscience couldn’t let me eat..
Who have you been talking to? I asked her.
Why are you asking?
We spoke yesterday and you told me you were home!
How am I supposed to know that you’re playboy and you’ll be coming to the station?
You should have stayed at home mirabel!
Says the man who k!lled my uncle, shot my father and his girlfriend shot me.. I have lots of questions Dean! You once kidnapped me..
I know! Go ahead…
Why are you doing this? Why did you lie to me? Why are you k!lling innocent people for no reason? Why are you Called playboy and why are you the hit man?! Why do you keep coming to me? Why ? Why ? Why?
If you weren’t there I wouldn’t have been shot mirabel!!
You pointed the gun at me!
Yes I did because I wanted to scare your father.. unfortunately he knew I wouldn’t dare shoot you so he shot me.
You haven’t answered my questions Dean..
How do you expect me to tell you that I am playboy? Would you have accepted me? Would you?
It doesn’t give you any reason to k!ll people.
I only k!ll when I have the reason to.
Why? Everyone is looking for you and once you get caught what will become of me? How am I going to handle it or even prove to the world that I’ve been dating a suspect and a chronic criminal! You’re a thief Dean.
Call me names mirabel!! I didn’t choose to be this way, I wasn’t raised right, I didn’t have the luxury that you had, the love and care from people, I never had any! I had no choice than to fit in somewhere.
You have hands and legs! What stopped you from working? You rob people of their properties for your selfish gain and desires!! I am dating a man who kidnapped me and almost killed my father! How did I get here? How? I was blinded by the love I have for you. My father was right all along!!
I’m sorry!!! I know I lied to you , I didn’t know how to say it!!! I never meant to k!ll your uncle, he was trying to call the cops.
He was innocent!! Your hands are stained with innocent blood Dean! I am scared… your girlfriend shot me and now I know the reason why she told me to go the station!
Phina told you to go to the station??
Yes! Everything now makes sense! She’s not your co worker , she was the one that called at the hotel, who’s she?
My colleague.
Stop lying to me!! No more lies.
She’s not my girlfriend she’s my colleague.. and she intentionally brought you there!! You met her in person after you saw her and you couldn’t tell me? Why?
Can you just shut your mouth! Why is she your problem!? I want you to quit this f*cking job of yours.
It’s not easy to quit.
It is me or your job!! I can’t be with a k!ller,
Are you breaking up with me?
I don’t know! I need to stay away from you ! I still don’t understand what’s going on..
Ring ring..
Hello dad!
Where are you? I called and you’re not home.
I’m sorry I lied!! I’m with Dean.
I know you’re with Dean!! Is he the person I shot?
No dad! He’s not..
Tell me the truth mirabel, I saw the way you looked at him, he couldn’t hurt you that was why I used that advantage to shoot him!! And you left to go take care of him!! Is he playboy??
No father!! He’s not!! I was scared of playboy and his gang coming back so I went to deans place , I’m safe here.. bye..
Knock knock!!
Who there??
It’s phina!
Don’t open the door!
Why not?
Mirabel opened the door…
I know you’re not going to die.. playboy!! Phina said.
Why are you doing this? Why did you make mirabel go to the station?
You thought you could just use me and dump me for mirabel?
What? Mirabel said…
Phina please don’t start.
You started it playboy! What were you thinking when you betrayed the team? You got shot cause at the sight of mirabel you are always weak! Tell her the truth or I will.
Phina please leave!!
I am not leaving!! If you make any move I’ll shoot her. Tell her.
Mirabel, phina and I had a fling! It wasn’t a relationship! That was before I met you!
Tell her how often we have s*x even after you started your fake relationship with her.
My relationship with mirabel isn’t fake and that’s why you’re hurt!
Why do you keep lying to me Dean? Why? What did I do to you?
Mirabel! Please, just stay with me..
Everything about you are lies..
Mirabel! You’re wasting your time with him!! Dean is worse than this! If I die just know Dean k!lled me, he doesn’t care about anyone..
Are you done phina? I really need to sleep.. I am the one that was shot twice and none of you stayed with me.. I am thinking it was intentionally done..you can leave now I need privacy with mirabel..
I’m not leaving Dean! I will not let you fool me…
What else do you want to say that mirabel hasn’t heard today? I can still shoot you if I want to phina..but I won’t… is the s*x we had your pain? Or the breakup?from the beginning we both know that it’s against the rules that’s why we kept it a secret.
The rules got broken by you when you started falling in love with mirabel, you left me like an abandoned worn dress.
I never loved you! You gave yourself to me! I never asked you for anything.. yeah! I broke the rules because I fell in love with mirabel. You can’t tell me how to live my life! You contacted mirabel behind my back and risked her life at ther station.. you’re the reason I got shot..
I am tired of listening to both of you.. phina wanted me to know you’re playboy. And I’ve known soo what’s the fuss about? Mirabel asked.
She wants you to break up with me mirabel, I can’t even say anything cause I have no strength to defend myself.
I am not breaking up with you Dean! I think phina had overstayed her welcome, she needs to leave.
You’re dating a wanted person mirabel.. phina said…
Same wanted person you want..please leave! Thanks for letting me know deans identity and your relationship with him..
Being a police daughter doesn’t make you safe mirabel..I’m leaving..
Phina left.
How’s your arm?
I’m fine! I thought you’re going to break up with me..
Even if I want to break up with you it’s not now, I want you to be alright, and I also wanted phina to leave..
About my relationship with phina.
Just let it go, I don’t want to hear it! I’ve heard and seen enough!!!
I am truly sorry…
I don’t need your apology Dean!
Please, please don’t leave me!
What other choice do I have Dean? My father will not rest till you’re found…
It’s not about your father mirabel, it’s about us and our relationship..
I haven’t gotten enough sleep, I think I should rest a little. She said as she went to the bedroom..
I made sure the doors and windows were locked before going to meet her.
It’s already past 1pm.. mirabel wasn’t sleeping. She was staring at the fan still crying.
Mirabel!! I called out and sat close to her.
I can’t believe I am still here after everything!! I need to go Dean! My life is not safe.
I persuaded her to stay which she did and left later that night..
I managed to drive to meet my boss..
I think I am no longer interested in this job.
You can’t quit playboy.
Why not? I almost died and none of you came to check up on me.. I am quitting.
I know why you want to quit and we all know why you got shot.
Tell me!
It’s mirabel. And until you complete the last job you will not see mirabel
What?
Yes Dean! I am giving you an offer..
What’s the offer?
We have another robbery soon and you’ll be the one to pass the money.
I can’t do it!
You will.. mirabel will pay with her life if you don’t do it..
We all know she’s your girlfriend playboy, phina told us everything!!
I’m out!
You have two days to decide if you’re in or not.
I left them back home and saw Mirabel sitting outside waiting for me..
I’ve told you to stop taking risk mirabel!! Why didn’t you call me? You angrily left I thought you were not coming back.
Just open the door!! Where did you go?
I am having a weird feeling! I said as I opened the door..
We went in and she brought out first aid kits and other string painkillers and antibiotics for me..
Can we get married tomorrow? I asked.
Why? It’s too sudden…
I know! I may not be alive soon! I don’t want to put your life at risk anymore.. once you we get married you can leave this place let me face everything!
I’m not leaving you Dean! I love you and you’re not dying, you just have to quit your job
Marry me tomorrow please..
Episode 10 : Betrayal and Redemption
Stop scaring me please, I can’t handle anything.. let’s run away.
No mirabel!! We can’t run away together!! First thing in the morning we’re getting married.
I ate, she bathed me and we fell asleep.
I woke up and got prepared, I ordered for a simple gown for her! I ordered for our rings too I couldn’t drive so I asked her to, we drove far away from town to a church!
I confessed my sins and the priest joined us together…
I didn’t know what I was doing, the few days I have left I want to live everyday with Mirabel.
After our wedding we went back home, in our way home I got a text from my boss “ happy married life Dean, you have tomorrow to give me your answer”. My boss actually followed us.
Mirabel kept staring at her ring..Talking to herself..
Isn’t it supposed to be our night? I said.
I’m here! Married to the man everyone wants dead
Do you want me dead?
No, I don’t want you dead!! You’re acting strange again.
I couldn’t hug her very well , so I used one hand to pull her close and k!ssed her, it’s been quite some time..
You need to rest!
I don’t want to rest, I want to have you…
The look she gave was a sign of “ I am ready”.
I never had to stress myself to undress, she did everything and what we had was more than honeymoon..
POV
Mirabel, if I find out that Dean is playboy I will get you arrested. Ben said.
Dad, Dean is innocent, he’s not playboy’ stop accusing him please.
Since that day I haven’t seen him and you don’t stay at home anymore.. what are you hiding mirabel
Nothing!!
Wait! Is that ring on your finger?
Yea! I’m sorry, it was urgent! Dean and I got married
What? How? When? Where?
You don’t like him, so we didn’t see it necessary to tell you..
My daughter got married and didn’t tell anyone! Wow! Something is fishy!!
I am going back dad!! Dean needs me.
Mirabel left!!!
I told her what my boss said and assured her it is going to be my last hit.
She told me not to fall for the trap but I had to it cause I am scared of her getting hurt..
I accepted the offer.. waited for few few weeks to heal before getting prepared..
Days later I contacted my uncle and he said mirabel should come be with him.
Mirabel, take this address go to my uncles place till everything alright.. you have to leave immediately
I’m not leaving you! We’re married and I want to stay.
Do you trust me?
I do!
Do you love me?
Yes!!!
Then go now!! I’ve contacted him already, you’ll be safe there.
Dean, don’t do this to me. Let’s go together..
It will be easy to track us together.. For your life just go now please.
Okay! Let’s just spend tonight together! I’ll leave tomorrow morning..
It’s not safe anymore.
Please Dean..just one last night with you.
Okay!!
I was awake watching mirabel sleep.. she opened her eyes .
“Come to bed “.
I’m not sleepy!! Sleep my love.
What if something happens to you?
I’m the one with the gun!
She got up, sat on my laps and began to k!Ss me!
This is the only time I have to be with you Dean! I love you so much.
I love you too..
We couldn’t wait, we got dirty and things got sweet and satisfying that night..
She went back to bed while I stayed awake…
Less than 2 hours my apartment was raided..
Some guys broke in covering their face..
I shot two… mirabel woke up and ran out.
Get the girl! One of them said.
Don’t touch my wife…. I said as I pointed my gun at him.
Playboy! You asked for this when you started rolling with the enemies daughter.
Who sent you?
We came for her!! Get your job done or you’ll never see her again, you’re surrounded and we’re more than five.. if you move I’ll throw this bomb and we’ll all die including your wife..
Dean!!!
I’m sorry mirabel! I’ll come for you…
Don’t do it! Don’t accept the job it’s a trap and they’re using me to get you!!
Four of them pointed their gun at me and they took mirabel away!!
POV
Mirabel was taken to meet phina, she was tied to a chair while receiving numerous slap from phina.
“ you ruined everything mirabel” phina said with anger.
Please let me go…
Let you go? You took Dean away from me, from us.. we heard about your secret marriage..
Why are you doing this?
I hate you mirabel, I and Dean was having a good time till you decided to show up and spoil everything! Why is Dean so protective of you? You’re not even beautiful , why did he choose you?
Stop hitting me please..mirabel pleaded.
I got dressed and I went straight to my boss, i was told the location has changed.. I never knew phina had contacted mirabels father and they were waiting for me.. while phina kidnapped mirabel.
Making it look like I was the one that kidnapped her.
I contacted phina and told her to let mirabel go, she laughed and ended the call.
“Get the money and we’ll set her free” my boss said.
We had a deal..
I know Dean! Next time you will not betray the gang..
I didn’t betray anyone… I want to see mirabel.
You can’t see her… get the money and meet me at the building you first took mirabel too..
I came out by 1am , I already moved the money.
The money is ready! I want to see my wife..
Come to the building.. we’re waiting for you..
I drove to the building, I saw lots of new faces with clean guns.. I walked down to the exact place mirabel was taken to, I got there, met phina and others. Some pointed the gun at me while some pointed their gun at mirabel.
Here’s the money! Let her go.
Do you think it will be that easy? I know you and what you’re capable off playboy! I trained you and made you who you are’ because of a woman you changed and left the gang.
You made my life miserable!! You denied me freedom! You toyed with my emotions boss.. just let mirabel go.
No Dean! I’ll finish what we started.. phina said..
I took four step forward to take a closer look at mirabel,, her face has changed
Who hit you? I asked.
Dean! Please! Just save yourself and leave.
Who hit you? I asked again.
I hit her what will you do you cheat! Phina responded.
I’ve told you before never to touch mirabel!! I said as I shot her on her leg!! I hate it when someone challenges me
I heard guns cracking and the people there were ready to shoot..
Do you trust me! I said to mirabel.
Yes!!
Close your eyes!
If you shoot again she dies! My boss said.
No one is walking out here alive if any of your boys shoot’ I am wearing a bomb and it will explode soon..
Just k!ll mirabel boss. The police will be here soon, I already contacted them. Phina said..
I shot her on her head and she died immediately.
Mirabel screamed!
I told you to close your eyes !
Untie me!!
Not yet….
My boss wanted to shoot me but I shot him..I didn’t k!ll him.
I went to him and told him to tell his boys to drop their guns or we’ll get roasted..
He told them and they dropped their guns…. I untied mirabel and asked her to run.
My father is coming you have to go Dean.
Listen to me! It’s dangerous here! Just go.
Mirabel wasn’t ready to leave. I held her and was heading out when I heard “ k!ll them both”
It was a gun fire battle between i and those guys.. I was shooting and protecting mirabel.
Can you shoot?
No, I can’t..
I removed my bullet proof jacket and wore it on mirabel.. I k!ssed her and asked her to wait for me..
I’m scared Dean.
I’ll be back! Here’s my car key , run outside and drive home.. mirabel left.
It wasn’t easy for me… I managed to blow up some part of the building..
I spent some minutes fighting with some guys before running out.
I ran out and saw my car.. where’s mirabel? I asked myself, i screamed her name and the next thing I heard was the siren 🚨
In less than seconds I was surrounded.
My phone beeped “ if you shoot mirabel dies” I didnt know who sent the text.
Where’s my daughter? Ben asked.
I don’t know what you’re talking about Ben!
Remove your mask, hands in the air and tell me where my daughter is.
I said I don’t know where she is..
Mirabels father opened fire.. I wanted to shoot.
Dean! It was mirabel who called me.
I turned and saw Henry pointing the gun at her.
You’ve k!lled everyone playboy..
And you’re going to die before I go to jail. I said before pulling the trigger.. his death was instant.
Dean you have to go now! Mirabel said as she ran to me.
It’s too late! I can’t run.
Release my daughter..
Daddy please don’t shoot.
Mirabel get out from there.
No dad! Leave him alone.. he saved my life.
Mirabel I am going to shoot you and take you to the hospital myself.
Dean, he’s trying to use me to get to you. You have to go.
I can’t leave you..
Please..
Mirabel.. I said as I heard a gun shoot.
I pushed mirabel and took the bullet, the bullet hit me on my leg.. I felt my leg getting weak, I fell and was shot again on my right hand and shoulder…it was my time to finally go to prison.
I could hear mirabel shouting,
Don’t k!ll him please.. dad stop.
dad take him to the hospital.
Her father came close, remove my mask and said “I knew it was you Dean! You defiled my daughter and married her..
Daddy no, please!! He’s dying!
He doesn’t deserve to live mirabel.
Mirabel took my gun, pointed it on her stomach “ take him to the hospital or I’ll k!ll myself right now”.
Mirabel, drop the gun!!
No, take him for treatment! He’s not breathing.
Okay! Okay! Put him in the car!! To the hospital now?
I woke up and found myself in the hospital with my leg chained against the bed.. and mirabels father staring at me.
What were you planning to do with my daughter?
I’ll rather not say! Where’s mirabel?
You’ll continue your treatment in prison as we take your case to the court Dean! Your era has ended..he said and left
My phone was taken from me! I couldn’t call mirabel!!
I heard my door open, it was her..
Dean!!
Mirabel! Are you hurt?
Noo! I’m fine.. give me few minutes.
She went and called a nurse.
Please take the cuffs off his legs.
It’s an instruction from your father.
I want him to sit please, lying down for hours with this condition can k!ll him.. just do this this for me, you can cuff one of his hand to the bed , just let him sit..
Okay!
She unlocked it and did as mirabel said before she left us.
Just look at how you’re been treated Dean! Why have you decided to k!ll us?
Us? Who’s us? I asked as she held my left hand and placed it on her stomach.
You’re pregnant?
Yes! We’re having a baby..
I’m going to court and you know my case is not a small case, everyone wants me dead! I may be sentenced to death mirabel! I’m sorry.. I may not be part of the baby’s life..
I love you Dean! I’ll talk to my father. I can’t do this alone, I told you to quit! Just look at you! Can you walk?
Not yet!
your boss was caught.
Where’s he?
Police custody!!
Guess I am still here for some reasons,
Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant?
I was scared..
Was that the reason you came back?
Yes..
How far are you?
Two.
Two?Why were you hiding it?when did it happen?
I don’t know!!
Mirabel… her father interrupted.
Yes! You’re wanted, the press wants to ask you some questions .
Okay!! She responded and left.
Why are all this crowd here? She asked.
They want to know how you met playboy.
Miss mirabel how did you meet playboy? One asked.
Are you his accomplice? Another added.
I met Dean a long time ago and we fell in love , started dating too.
When did you find out he’s the hit man and when you found out why didn’t you report him to your father?
I found out recently and I couldn’t just turn him in! If you were in my shoes you’d understand, I am sorry for the things he has done to you, your families, friends! He is not as ev!l as you think.. he saved my life.
He saved your life because he loves you. Someone from the crowd said.
Everyone deserve a second chance, I am not supporting him for k!lling and robbing people! But please he’s badly wounded and I don’t want him dead!
He’s going to face the law and get his sentence..he made everyone restless.. you’re supposed to be arrested too mirabel..
Go inside mirabel. I think we’re done. Her father said.
Just look at what you’ve done to me Dean, since we met I haven’t had peace, I’ve been running from one place to another while you’re comfortable committing crimes.
I knew this day would come..
Why didn’t you stop? How am I supposed to move on? I couldn’t leave when I found out, I should have left things at “hello”.
You ghosted me mirabel’ I found you.. I am sorry! You just have to be calm!
Calm? How? I am being asked questions and no one wants to understand my pain..
Mirabel, it’s time to go home. Her father interrupted again.
I can’t leave now dad.
Stand up! Now..he said with a slap on her face.
Ben stop it!
What will you do? Shoot me? You deceived my daughter, violated her and got married to her.. you’re going to jail Dean.
He held mirabels hand,removed the ring from her finger and threw it at me..my daughter can never be married to you.. you bought her a ring from the money you’ve been stealing from people..
Do you know the masses are saying you need to be locked up? You disgraced me mirabel, I warned you. Go home now.
Episode 11 : Reunited
Mirabel just go home.. I’ll see you tomorrow . I said to her.
I don’t want to leave you Dean .
I know, your father will still make you go home, so just go.. I love you.
I love you too.. bye.
Mirabel left.
Let me tell you something Dean, no matter how innocent you’ve become you’d still face the law.
I’m not scared of the law!! I am scared for your daughter.. death will happen to everyone.
Yours is the consequence of your actions.. don’t drag my daughter into it.. everyone is waiting to see you dead!
POV
Mum,,!!
Mirabel, you’re here already, I heard what happened , I couldn’t come to see you at the hospital.
There was no need to come..
How’s Dean?
He’s fine! Hopefully.
I think your father is here!!!
Is mirabel in? He asked.
Yes! Mirabels mum answered.
You risked your life for a criminal, what type of love do you have for him?
What is wrong with you mirabel.. Dean is going to die and there’s nothing you can do about it.
No amount of mercy can make the authorities change their mind.. your life was at risk and you kept going there.. why?
Why are you telling me about deans fate? Why? Don’t you have any conscience left? You shot him, you used me to get to him
He has destroyed this city.
He also protected me! He saved my life.
He did that cause you’re his girlfriend..
Dean is not who you think he is. He was being manipulated ! He wanted to stop. It wasn’t easy for him.
You really disgraced me! You spend soo many nights with him even after you found out the truth you still stayed! Henceforth
I forbid you to visit him.. tomorrow he is going to prison and he’ll continue his treatment there.
No dad, his case is an hospital case, he can’t leave to prison, it’s too sudden.
There’s an hospital in the prison..
I can’t leave him.. not now. He needs me.
You’re not seeing him again Mirabel! I am trying to solve your case here you are making things worse.
You can’t stop me from visiting Dean! You can’t.
You will not disrespect me anymore! I will not let you , you will do as I command because I am your father.
I know you’re my father, you still can’t stop me from visiting the father of my unborn child.
What?
Yea father! I have deans seed in me! I am pregnant for him..
What?
You heard me!!
All this while you were having countless unprotected s*x with that criminal?
You will Get rid of that baby! You’re not going to give birth to a criminal, . Not in my watch , you want to bring an assassin into this world?
I am two months gone.
Mirabel!!!!
Yes father!!
We’re going to see a doctor right away!!
You can’t do that! Her mother said.
Stay out of this!
No I won’t! Allow mirabel have her child.
This daughter of yours is tarnishing my image! I am going back to work..
Ben left..
Mirabel went to his room and saw my phone! She collected it, opened it and saw numerous pictures of herself I took unknowingly to her..
Why do you love Dean so much that you risk everything for him? Her mother asked.
With tears in her eyes, she said “ when I first met Dean I trusted him and countless times he has put me first before himself! He took care of me and was making sure I am safe! I love him because he loved me first.. He was shot and caught because of me! If I had listened to him all these wouldn’t have happened.
Does he know you’re pregnant?
Yeah!! It’s hard for him! I don’t want to be a single parent.
You’ll be fine mirabel! Let’s pray he isn’t sentenced to death!! You need to rest.
I can’t!!
Mirabel! You’re pregnant and you’ve been running around for days now! Do you think Dean would be happy knowing you’re not resting? Go to bed now!!
POV
At 7am the nurse came to dress my injury, it was painful, I still couldn’t walk , it was difficult using the restroom.
Door opens! It’s my wife.
Hey Dean!
Hey babe! You didn’t sleep last night why?
I couldn’t! I was thinking of you! I miss you Dean.
I miss you too..
Mirabel doesn’t care if the nurse was watching, she k!sSed me ..
We spoke for minutes and she apologized for not leaving when I asked her to.
I saw pictures of me on your phone .
Uhuh, I randomly took them! The phone belongs to you now.
No, it’s yours! You’ll be free and you’ll use it.
Knock knock.
It’s time to go to the station Dean. An officer said as he brought a wheelchair for him to seat.
No, please don’t take him to prison.
That’s where he belongs mirabel, he needs to join the others.
Mirabel, calm down! Here’s your ring! I love you and i will always cherish every memories of you..
Who will take care of your baby? I can’t do this Dean!!
Don’t cry! I’m still here..
Let’s go Dean! The police said as he walked me to his car and drove me off to the prison.
I Got there and met my boss! I was given prisoners clothes to wear, and taken to my cell, I hear voices of prisoners screaming my name like I won a lottery!! They were praising me and making noise..
Even in prison my name was heard!!
I got lots of questions from them and some blamed me for falling in love with the daughter of a police..They will never understand.
Days passed, I began to miss my freedom.. truly there’s nothing like freedom!!
Someone is here to see you!!
Who? I asked.
Mirabel…
I was taken to her with cuffs on my hand and legs.
You still haven’t been able to walk properly? She asked .
Yeah! But I’m getting better! How’s our baby??
Fine! I’m scared .
You’re always scared..
You’ve really changed Dean!
It’s prison life..
What are they saying about your case??
I need a lawyer! I’ll be appearing in court soon!!
Have you seen?
No one wants to help me.. I’ve hurt people. I’m glad I was able to spend my remaining day as with you..
Your time is up mirabel.. One man said.
Just more 2 minutes please..I pleaded.
Be fast!!!
I used the two minutes to k!ss my wife..
After my time elapse she left.
I tried to get a lawyer but no one was willing to stand for me!! My boss got a lawyer and he went to court!! He tried to blame me in court but he didn’t know someone already testified that he was the boss. He was sentenced to death!!
I wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon… I waited for my day to come!
POV
I need a favour from you dad!
What is it?
Is there anyone dean can be free?
You’re still talking about Dean, ? He’s going to die.
No, I know you can do something, everyone respects you they listen to you!
I am only doing my job!! I am not the one running this city!! I can’t let him out..
Please, I don’t want to raise my baby alone without Dean! You can talk to the judge to reduce his sentence.
His boss was sentenced to death!! Dean did worse than his boss.. mirabel I am sorry, you fell inlove with the wrong person.
Everyone deserves a second chance! I am pleading for mercy on his behalf..you and the judge are friends! Explain my situation to her..
She’s a fair judge.. she doesn’t cheat.
It’s not about cheating!! It’s about deans child.. I may not be able to survive it if he’s sentenced to death..
I already told everyone that he manipulated you.. I told them you’re not his fiancé.
Why did you lie?
I am protecting you..
That’s not protection, you’re adding more to deans case.
Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? You’re like someone who hasn’t eaten for days.. the thought of Dean is eating you up,. Dean should be thankful he hasn’t fully recovered from the shot if not he’d have died just like his boss..
That’s mean!!
Go and eat mirabel..
I can’t eat!!
One week later Ben tender his resignation letter, when he was asked why he wanted to resign, he told them mirabels health is critical and she’s going to hate him if he still push for my case..
My daughter is important to me, she’s slowly dying and needs my help. I’m sorry. He left them.
The day drew closer, I was able to walk again but with crutches 🩼
I appeared in court, saw mirabel and other people, the crowd was much!
I was told to sit cause I couldn’t stand properly…
Where’s your lawyer? The judge asked.
I don’t have one.
You have no one to defend you?
Yes, no one..
My case started… the victims were ready to say what they saw and how I k!lled their loved ones and robbed them.
They continued talking, crying, some were lying.. I was busy staring at mirabel! She was crying ..
So what do you have to say mr Dean? The judge asked…
Say? About what?
We’re not playing here Dean! This is a court!
I’m sorry your honour! I was distracted.
Distracted? By who? By what?
My wife!!
You have a wife? Who’s she?
Mirabel!!
You married Bens daughter?
Yes!!
Mirabel please stand up.. she said.
Mirabel stood up.
She’s pregnant for you?
Yes! She is..
Are you guilty of all the accusations??
Hearing that I was about to be told my judgement, mirabel fainted..
Court dismiss!!! We’ll meet again in four days time..take the pregnant lady to the hospital.. go back to your cell Dean!!
Episode 12 : Courtroom Drama
Can I see my wife? Please…
You can’t Dean! Go to your cell.
My wife fainted and you’re telling me I can’t see her?
This is a joke Dean! You’re not allowed to go out! She’ll come see you when she recovers.. don’t make it worse.
I pleaded but no one listened to me!!
Mirabel was taken to the hospital by her father.. immediately they got there she was attended to quickly..
Mirabel was unconscious for some hours before she gain consciousness.
Dad! She called.
Why have you decided to k!ll me? What have I done to you mirabel?
I don’t understand ..
No matter what you try to do Dean will not come out alive! For the sake of your child please put yourself together, learn to accept things the way they are.
It’s difficult accepting that I will become a widow! I begged you to help me with deans case but you refused
I don’t pass judgment..
The judge is your friend.
She will never listen to me! I had to resign from work so you will not blame me.
Sir! Here are the test results.. the nurse said.
What? Her BP is high??
Yes.. and if she continue this way it will affect her and the pregnancy.
Thank you!!
You want to d!e?? I think you shouldn’t go to court again.
I need to see Dean now!!
You’re not leaving this bed!!
Mirabel stayed in the hospital for two days before coming to see me! We spoke for a lil while and I told her how to access my account for funds to take care of our baby! I also told her to be strong..
If you give birth to a male child name him “Dean” I said to her and she smiled.
I’ll miss you! But wherever I’ll be I’ll always think of you.
That’s not possible Dean!!
I have two days left and I wish to spend the remaining days with you! But it’s not possible!!! One more thing’’ don’t cry for me anymore
Why?
It’s not healthy! I’ve cried severally but I’ve come to realize that what will be will be!!! My uncle will contact you!! He’ll also support you.. I love you
I love you too..
She left, went home and started crying! Her parents consoled her but it wasn’t enough.
Two days later I appeared in court, I saw mirabel , the judge asked her to come say everything she knows about me and how we got married
I discovered Dean k!lled your uncle and kidnapped you initially when he broke in to your fathers house.
Yes! Your honour.
Were you dating him then?
No, when I was kidnapped we weren’t in a relationship but we’ve met before. And we were dating when he shot my uncle.. he never knew we’re family
Did you have any clue that he was playboy?
Not at all!!
So, you didn’t suspect him to be playboy?
No, he didn’t act like playboy.
How did you find out about him?
I got a text from his colleague and when I went to the station and he came as playboy I took a closer look and I recognized him..
Sooo?
I couldn’t leave him because we are in a relationship and he has never hurt me! He changed and was being manipulated by his boss! He had to obey for me to be alive! Please your honour temper justice with mercy! Please, I am pregnant and I can’t cope without him.. let him see his child that’s my wish
What about the families he k!lled? The money he took?? The reoccurring disturbance and the constant fear he put everyone in? You’re speaking for yourself because he is your husband!! Miss mirabel!
Yes!
You cohabited with a criminal and you hid his identity! Do you know you can go to jail for that act? Even if you’re both in love! He commited crimes ! Shot your father, you were also shot by one of his team member!! I ask you! Is this the kind of man you want to spend eternity with? You want your children to be tagged “ a criminal’s child”.
I know all these things! It’s funny how people doesn’t see the good in anyone. I never planned for this , I didn’t fall in love with a criminal.. I fell inlove with DEAN and I’ll choose him over and over again.. he’s not as bad as everyone think. He is my husband and the father of my child!!
He has made mistakes and he is sorry.
Sorry cannot bring back the lives lost!!
Dean! Are you guilty or not guilty!
He’s not guilty! Mirabel answered.
He is guilty! The crowd responded.
Are you guilty mr Dean??
Yes! I’m guilty!!
You’re hereby sentenced to Death!!!! By shooting .. this evening!! Court dismiss.
No your honour you can’t do this to me, you can’t give him death sentence, please have mercy.
It’s done mirabel.. he must face the law.
Reduce his punishment.
I can’t take back my words!! You should focus more on your child.
Mirabel! I called.
Dean! Why did you plead guilty?
She will still sentence me to death ! I know how it works! Be strong for me please! Stop crying
Mirabel say something.
What do you want me to say?
Tell me you love me and I’ll feel better.
You know I do.. I’ll pray for you Dean.
Take care of our baby!!
I can’t do it without you! Don’t leave me.
Dean! It’s time to go..
Two minutes please.. I need to k!ss my wife.
I was literally crying when k!ssing mirabel..
I went back to my cell to get prepared for death in the evening! I was told mirabel never left!!
Exactly 6pm I was brought out to be k!lled, I felt the jubilation from the crowd and the sadness in mirabels eyes!! She was crying, she couldn’t watch me so she went outside.
I was tied up and ask to turn around.. I slowly turned around cause I was still in pains..the last thing on my mind was mirabel..
The moment they started counting 1,2, I was shot from the crowd on same leg, in less than seconds tear gas filled the place , these guys were releasing bullets with their face covered!!I was shot again on my shoulder! I couldn’t breathe, or move, I fell bleeding and screaming for help. mirabel was screaming and running towards me when her father dragged her out! Everyone was running for their lives..
I closed my eyes and I was taken away by the unknown guys!! They are more than 10..
They took me on a journey of 13hours! While on the vehicle! The bullets were removed and I was been treated..
Is he still breathing? One of them asked.
Yes, he is still breathing!! But he’s loosing blood.
Put some blood on him!! I hope we’re not being followed.
No! We’re not!! I don’t think Dean is going to make it.
Why did you shoot him on his leg? He was just recovering.
It was an order!!
I know, you should have shot him else where, please use the oxygen on him. We can’t loose him.. his wife is pregnant,
POV
Mirabel was locked up in her room!!
Dad! Open the door.
Dean is gone mirabel!! He was shot and he’s dead.
I need to see his body!
Did you see what happened? Those guys came, k!lled him and took his body away.
Who are they?
I don’t know !! I guess they’ve been following Dean!
Open the door for me
So you can go back there and get k!lled?
I want to see Dean 😢
He is gone..
They took me to a very far place, far from home..
I was gone for two days, they tried their best to Revive me.. on the third day I opened my eyes and the first person I saw was a girl..
Dean just opened his eyes.. she shouted.
Where am I? What happened? Where’s mirabel? I asked.
She’s not here? Paul please come!!
A guy walked in..
Dean! How are you?
Can someone tell me what’s going on? Where’s my wife? Where am I?
You’re badly wounded Dean! You need to rest first!
I am badly wounded cause I was shot.
You’ll be using a wheelchair for months! We’re still trying to fix your leg and arm.
Please lift me up, I want to sit up..
He lifted me up and I sat!!
The pains I was in was something else!! I couldn’t lift my hand!!
Mary! Get water for him!
Where’s my wife? I asked again.
You won’t be seeing her for now till you get better.
Are you insane? She’s pregnant.
Do you want to go back there and get k!lled because of mirabel?? Do you know how we risked our lives to bring you here?
Who sent you? Why did you save me?
Someone!!! Mary will be the one to care for you till you’re strong enough! For safety reasons don’t call anyone with any phone if not we’ll all be in danger.. including your wife.. I’ll be outside.
POV
Mirabel come and listen to the news!! Her father said.
The reporter was saying Dean was sentenced to death and some unknown men came , shot him and took his body away! Does it mean that he’s an enemy to those men? No lives was lost yesterday, they only came for playboy, no trace of them and the authorities hasn’t seen his body yet. For now let’s hope our troubles are over!!
Mirabel! Are you okay?
Yeah! I am! I watched the footage and I saw Dean lying lifeless till he was taken away! I was there but I couldn’t do anything! You dragged me home why?
You’re pregnant, you totally forgot yourself and was running towards Dean. What if you were pushed down or someone hit you??
So, you mean Dean is gone?
With a shot like that I don’t think he will survive it!!! I’m sorry!! Think about your child…you still have him inside of you..You have few months left to give birth….
I know! I’ll be in my room..
Just go there and cry!! Cry yourself to sleep again! It’s normal.. just make sure you don’t make your BP rise again!!
Three weeks passed and still no sign of who sent them to rescue me, Mary treated me carefully and I was slowly recovering too
Tell me about mirabel! She said while dressing my injury.
There’s nothing to say about her.
There’s a lot to say about her! You call her name in your sleep, you want to see her.. hmm? You really love her.
I looked at her and didn’t say a word.
She’s lucky to have you! You’re strong! You’ve survived soo many things..
She’s not lucky to have me! I am lucky to her!! Now stop asking questions.
Dean someone wants to talk to you! Paul interupted as he came in and handed the phone to me!
It was my uncle on video call.
Uncle Philip!
Dean, my boy! How are you?
Uncle Phil! You sent them!?? How?
I couldn’t watch my nephew d!e a horrible death! Who will take care of me when I am old?
laughs how did you manage to do it?
I know my way around and my boys are harmless! We’re not k!llers?! I wanted you to be alive for your family!! I didn’t come to court because I know it will be a death sentence base on everything that happened.
I’ve changed!!
I’m sorry about your leg and shoulder.
Your boys shot me?
It was an intentional act.
Mirabel thinks I am dead??
Yes!! She has lost weight!!
You saw her?
Yes! I saw her!! Your baby is doing fine. Mirabel isn’t.
I miss her!!
I know! For now you can’t see her…
Thanks for saving me! Take care of my wife!! Always remind her that I love her cause I really do. This place is beautiful too. Bye uncle Phil.. * ends call*
Mary continued what she was doing …
Episode 13 : An Unlikely Rescue
POV
Three months later mirabel went to the hospital..
Is Dean really dead?? The nurse asked.
I came to check the gender of my baby! I have no answer to your question! All of you wanted him dead, that’s by the way.
After minutes of checking the baby’s gender! It turned out to be a boy.
You’re having a baby boy miss mirabel!
Thanks..
Your BP is still high, you have to stop thinking too much!
Everyone thinks..
I know but take it easy..
On her way out she met my uncle.
Uncle Phil!
Mirabel! You don’t look soo good.
crying I miss him! I miss Dean!
I know! But you have to be strong for your baby! His baby!
I’m trying!! Feels like he’s close but I can’t t feel him! His absence has made me weak!
You’ll be fine! What’s the gender of deans baby?
A boy! He has always wanted a son!!!
Another Dean is coming!! I’ll make sure you don’t lack anything! That’s the promise I made! You’re almost due, eat good food so you can have lots of strength.. I’ll still check on you.. bye mirabel!
She went back home .
Mirabel, I love you so much.. stop thinking please.
If you love me you’d have done something about deans case.
Come here, he hugged her.
What do you want me to do for you?
I want to see Dean again.
Okay honey! Take a rest.. I miss hugging you, I love you mirabel, we were best friends.
I love you too dad, I’m still your best friend.
POV
I was sleeping when I felt something moving around my chest.. the moment I opened my eyes Mary k!ssed me.. I pushed her away.
Why Dean?
What do you want? I asked her.
I want you? Can’t you see! I feel something for you.
You heard everything about me right?
Yes!
Did you hear about phina?
I did !
Don’t be like phina!!
I thought you’ve changed.
I have changed, don’t give yourself to me.
I can’t control myself when I am with you.
Learn how to.
Is it mirabel? She’s not here.
I’m not interested! Let it end between us.. don’t try it again Mary.. please leave..
You don’t know who mirabel is sleeping with! Do you think she won’t move on? She’ll definitely need a man for a father figure for her child..
Let her decide!! Thanks for taking care of me, I’ll take it from here henceforth..
It took me months to recover!! I was given many drugs, injections. Drip for quick recovery, bullets k!lls , it damaged my leg but I can still walk with it.. I stopped lifting things cause of the constant pain in my shoulder.
My uncle played his role in my life and that of mirabel…
One day he called me and said someone wants to speak with me!!
It was Ben, mirabels father.
Dean! How are you ?
I’m fine! How come?
It was your uncles plan, I agreed to it for the sake of my daughter! I know you’re alive, it was all our plan.. mirabel loves you.
I love her too..
After she put to birth she will come over so you can take care of your child! I don’t want any baby crying at night disturbing me and my wife’s peace
Funny! Thank you sir.
It will be a surprise for her! I won’t telk her anything.. take care of my daughter, I love her more than the way you love her.. you’re having a son Dean
I was told..I can’t wait for her to be here with our baby..thank you Ben.
I hope you’ve really changed?
I have. I am still battling with pains.
You’ll be fine..
I was happy hearing from Ben .. mirabel is next.
Fast forward to few months later.. mirabel gave birth .. she received congratulatory text from friends, family and loved ones.
What’s the name of your son? They asked.
His name is Dean.
Weeks later her father was called back to work..
Phillip spoke to me mirabel,
You talk with deans uncle?
Yea, he’s part of us now.
Wow! You never liked Dean so how come you’re friends with his uncle?
My point is simple. We spoke and he wants you to meet the rest of deans family.. relatives! You have their child too! So I agreed because I want you to mingle with them, change environment and be happy again.
I don’t want to go!
You have to go honey!! Your baby cries a lot, he wants to meet his uncles and aunts.
You’re indirectly chasing me out dad.
No … I want you to be happy!
Okay I’ll go!!!
Start getting ready he’s coming to pick you up tonight..
Wow? So sudden.
She arranged her stuffs with our sons stuffs and my uncle went to pick her. They didn’t use road transport cause it will be tiring!! They took a flight down here..
The plan was to surprise her the next day. It was difficult seeing her and not holding her.. I had to endure.
Your wife is here! Mary said.
Yeah! She is! My son is here too..
I was at the quarters watching her every move! She care too much about our baby. I watched her sleep, gets up randomly in the middle of the night to breastfeed our baby.. it was tiring.
The next day..
I hid inside while she chatted with my friends and uncle!
If Dean should be here what would be your reaction? Phillip asked.
I don’t know! He’s not here so there’s no point! Uncle Phil please I don’t want to talk about Dean! It’s been more than 5months and not a word from him! I can’t believe he’s gone!!
You’re crying again!
I miss him! Soo much! He was always watching me, he cared too much and he was caught cause of me.
Don’t blame yourself.
I didn’t listen to him ! I thought I could handle it, he still didn’t use it against me.
It’s okay mirabel..
Wait! Where’s my son?
He’s inside!!
He’s not crying!!
I thought I heard his voice!!
Go check on him… maybe he’s awake!!!
She excused herself from the table and went to her room..
My baby is sleeping! She said as she k!ssed him..
She was about leaving when I grabbed her hand.
She turned!
Dean!
Mirabel!
Dean, is this really you?
It’s me, stop crying.
But how!? I don’t understand.
I’ll explain later! I miss you..
We didn’t know when we started k!ssing and crying together!
I thought you are dead!
I was! I guess I deserve a second chance to change for you and our son, the world.
Are you alright? Are you well?
I’m still recovering.. but since you’re here I’ll recover fast.
Episode 14 : A New Beginning (Dean’s Redemption)
I hope the world forgives me!
The world will forgive you someday! God has forgiven you that’s why you’re here ! I’ve forgiven you too..
I’m so sorry mirabel! I said cleaning her eyes with my hands.
Let’s join the others..
Let take Dean Jnr with us.
He’s sleeping.
I know! I want to carry him and look at him..
I carried my son and we joined my uncle and others.
Oh! Finally they’ve met, mirabel I was wondering what took you soo long.
You guys planned this, why didn’t you tell me about Dean?
I’m sorry, I was trying to protect you and him!
Thanks uncle Phil!!
Ring ring…
Mirabel your phone!
It’s my dad.
Hello dad.
Baby, why are you crying? Have you seen Dean?
You knew?
Yeah, I did it for you and your baby! I saw how you were acting and you were losing your mind.. I love you mirabel I love you so much
I love you too dad! I love you! Thank you. Thank you.. I never knew you still love me, I’m sorry for disrespecting you..
I forgive you! Let me talk to Dean.
I took the phone and he smiled .
Dean! Take care of my daughter of my grand son.
I will! Thank you, I wanted to say that I love you but I just realized that I am not gay.
Don’t get her pregnant again!!!
When are you coming over to see us?
Soon!!! Bye
We had fun with my families and friends, talked about what happened and I was happy everything just changed! Mirabel stood up for me..
Everyone left us after the breakfast!
My uncle called and said the house belongs to me and my family! Mary and the rest exited the apartment for us..
I played with my son, he looked like mirabel..
I didn’t know my dad was part of everything, that why he dragged me in!
I love you babe! Is Dean sleeping?
Yes he is!
Why did he look like you? I asked…
I don’t know!
You cheated me mirabel,
Sorry!
Dean is sleeping already, let’s give him another play mate.
No, not now!
He’s barely two months! I said closing my eyes.
I really miss us together Dean! I want some fun.
We’ll have fun when the time is right! Allow our baby clock 3months you still need to gain back you to energy too.
It’s fine!
Are you angry mirabel?
Of course I am! I’ve been longing for you…
Okay, let’s do it.
With a smile on her face she turned off the lights and we had a dirty night!
4months later she was pregnant again!!
Her father called , saw her and was scolding me asking me why I got his daughter pregnant again
It wasn’t intentional Mr Ben!
I am coming Tomoro to k!ll you Dean!! Mirabel why did you allow him? Your son is barely 6months, stop laughing and answer me
