CHAPTER 2. CONFUSION

"What took you so long?" Sonia asked Miranda

"I went to get Gabriel a precious gift" Miranda responded. Gabriel smiles and said "Mmmmmm, you that have been helping me to plan my birthday all this while. Imagine you just getting a gift this morning? alright thanks, let me have it."

Miranda smiles at Gabriel, and walked closer to him, and gave him the gift. Gabriel was happy and unfold the gift. It was a beautiful small carton. Gabriel said "I'm sure it a precious gift, because of the way this carton looks beautiful.

When the case was opened, it was a beautiful dagger stained with blood... Miranda has an evil smile expression all over her face starring at Gabriel. Everybody was shocked.

Gabriel was so confused and got angry. Then asked "Why will you give me a shinning sharp dagger, stain with blood, as a birthday gift? What is the meaning of this?"

"How could you think of a dagger, despite all the gift in the whole world! A dagger? Is he a warrior? Am really disappointed in you!!" Sonia said angrily.

Then Gabriel walks out of the house. Sonia ran into her room and started crying.

The parents look at Miranda with a disappointed expression. They both walked to their room. The maid said "Ma'am Miranda, I thought you like sir Gabriel. Why giving him such gift? Is just as if you wish him death."

Miranda told him angrily to get out of her sight. The parent was in their room. Mr. Smith was so angry and said to his wife. "What kind of daughter is Miranda? Why would she gave someone that is not a warrior dagger?"

Her mother said she is speechless. Miranda went to her sister's room and told her that what is so special about the dagger if your fiancé doesn't have a skeleton in his cupboard, Why will he so concern about that dagger? and besides the dagger is beautiful.

"What did you just said, Is there something you are not telling me?" Sonia asked angrily.

Miranda walked out of her. The next day Gabriel was inside his car with his friend and he told him about what happened on his birthday.

"How come? He asked. Gabriel said the funniest part is that it was the dagger you inherited from your father, that I bought from you because I love it.

Gabriel's friend, said how come? I thought you told me you did not pick it up from the hat scene because you want it to burn. Gabriel answered; I'm as confused as any other thing in this world.

Gabriel's friend advised him. Maybe he should try and invite Miranda one on one so that he could ask her where she got the dagger from. He also asked Gabriel, "Or have you ever meet her before?."

Gabriel respond and said; have never seen her in my life before. The next day Gabriel called Miranda and told her to let meet at a restaurant, that he would be waiting for her.

When Miranda got to the restaurant. Gabriel asked her, "Where did you get that dagger from?"

"I bought it" Miranda replies

"It a pure lie, you did not buy it," Gabriel told Miranda while looking straight into her eyes

"Maybe I got it, where you kept it then!!" Miranda sounded harsh.

"Where I kept it? tell me something, who are you?" Gabriel asked.

"I am Miranda Smith, your fiancé kid sister any more questions?" She responded.

"Have we met before?" Gabriel asked again.

"No! we haven't" Miranda replied.

"Then tell me something, because I don't understand!!" Gabriel said with anger filled his face.

"I can't waste time with you, good day!" Miranda said and she left for the home straight when she got home, her sister was so angry and hold her hand. Told her if she did not confess what is going on why she did that shit on Gabriel's birthday, she will call the cops to arrest her!

Then Miranda said, "Fine go ahead and watch your beloved fiancé to rotten in jail!"

"What are you talking about?" Sonia asked confusedly.

"Go and asked your fiancé!" Miranda replied.

The parents came in and tell them to stop shouting!

Sonia respond and said, "Please we need a family meeting, I will call Gabriel to come over!" Then she walked into her room to place the call.

The next day, everybody was sitting inside their living room including Gabriel, then Sonia said pls tell Miranda to share light about what is going on between her and Gabriel! Miranda stood up and said this man is a pure heartless devil.
