''you look so beautiful. Invariable , the prettiest of all the girls I have encountered''

Frank remarked after staring at Mirabell with passion for so long . Mirabell smiled at his comment. That's the same comment she has been receiving from different guys for a long time. Owen and Harry has used the same remark for more than one million and one time so his comment was sure not gonna make her draw the map of kenya on the floor using her feet out of shyness just like a teenage girl who is being toasted for the first time would do.

''you're cute too. As in , your handsomeness is phenomenal . I guess ladies goes into combat to have you smile at them ''

she reflected. 

"you may be right but I chose not any of them''

frank asserted with a stylish smile. He adjusted himself a little still staring intently into her eyes. In factual basis, her beauty has captivated him so much so that he resolved with determination to make her his. Before now , he Have been seeing his parents idea of bethroting someone to him as Defective. but just a face to face encounter with her changed his perception rationally. He now understand why the wise men says that what an old man sees while sitting down, the young can never see it even if he climbs an iroko tree.

''why not?''

she asked.

''because I know I have a beautiful wife already. Why should I be looking else where?''

he articulated. 

"wow, that's so nice to hear''

She beamed

. Then he reached for her left hand which has been on top of the fancy table. Her right hand was stuck to her laps which protruded horizontally under the table .

''people say God is not a partial God , but I think he is.''

he said.

''why would you say so?'' she queried.

''because , you are far more beautiful than other girls. If he is not partial, all girls should be as pretty as you are.''

Frank asserted. '

"oh , stop flattering me. I am not the prettiest lady on earth.''

Mirabell expounded

"and Don't ever use the name Of God to crack jokes again''

she added as a reprimand. He smiled once again after taking cognizance on the way she unclogged her charming and sparkling eyes while she reprimanded him.

"i love you Mirabell. You have a Godly virtue''

''thanks. But how did you know that? '' 

"because of the way you just defended the integrity of God. Your type is such I wishes to marry. I am so happy that soon you and I will be together to build our family together''

he says. Mirabell found herself mopping at him with consternation creeping in. 

"our wedding will be the best and talk of the whole province of Mombasa. So many dignities will be there. base on my father's influence, the President can even be there.'' Mirabell kept staring at him as he explicated his thought further and further until she was fed up.

"frank''

she called on a serious tune. he gave her a serious face as an answer which propelled her to go along with that which she have in mind to say. 

"i accepted to come here with you just to tell you one thing. Some thing very important you need to know. And in the same lane plead that you will accept it whole heartedly.'' ''what's that my queen?''

he asked with eyes digging her face for answers. Mirabell flaunted her finger in order to bring to his notice her right hand which has been hidden under the table all the while they Got to that exorbitant restaurant. Frank frowned on noticing the golden ring stucked into her ring finger.

"I want you to know that I am already engaged to another man''

she says.

''WHAT!''

Frank exclaimed indignantly. ''yes. Very soon, I will be getting married to the only person my heart beats for not you'' ''ha ha ha. you must be joking'' . Frank muscled a croaky laughter to mask his exact feeling.

''no am not. I suggest you should forget about me and pick out one among the too many ladies who are crushing heavily on you and marry her please''. Mirabell emphasised.

''i said you are joking!''

Frank ejaculated.

''i'm not frank.''

Mirabell stated .

''i said you are!''

came his hoarse voice as he slammed the table angrily and she flinched. the bottle of whine standing on the table fell portrait and started rolling to the edge of the table. No one made effort to stop it until is reached its limit then fell to the tiled floor and broke into pieces. this obviously entailed that he was highly aggravated. His face boiled in anger and his eyes blood shot. '

'how dare you make a boyfriend when you know you are bethroted to me how much more being engaged?''

he sneered. it was difficult and too much for his heart to comprehend what she is telling him . Mirabell on her own side was petrified. she kept staring at his angry face. Part of her was apprehensive and scared at the very moment while the other part was accumulated by happiness. According to her mental appraisal, the temper problem he has stands another reason why she won't marry him.

''how I lived my life doesn't worth your concern.''

she found her self saying.

''I am the chief captain of my life. I decide what I want and what I don't. In this context, I am not going to marry you. Take it or live , I don't care''

She scolded and then walked away. How dare him claim a right in her life after being the reason why she was deprived of the privileges other girls enjoys. Frank watched seethingly as she existed herself from the bar. This aptitude is obviously the type he don't accumulate. it is difficult for people to show him that kind of aptitude especially, ladies. The few that has done that had not a good story for their consequence. For his mind to be at ease, something need to be done. He gave signal to one of his minders who was standing close. The goon came forward immediately to know why he is being beckoned.

''you see that silly girl?''

he nodded as frank instructed.

"find out every thing about her. Find out that stupid bagga who has engaged her with the cheapest golden ring, and bring all those report to me before the next two days. He is surely gonna hear it from me''

''okay boss, your wish is my command''

the goon bowed.

Mirabell stopped And jumped intoa taxi that was going the way towards her home. The only thought that occupied her mind was how to break the news of her engagement to her parents.

But their is nothing there to worry about. I just went and told him that I am already engaged to you and then walk away.''

Mirabell explained .

''ok , I almost got a bleeding heart.''

Harry articulated releasing a huge sigh which he has accumulated ignorantly out of anxiety. ''no my prince, don't o.''

''so what do you say the problem is?''

''i am yet to tell my parents about my engagement with you. The tension and anxiety is over powering me because I am planning on telling them this night. Hope you are making plans of seeing them soon with your family?''

As she approached the gate to knock , her eyes grasped a figure in the darkness. She was forced by her instinct to look closely and Base on what she can perceive, she saw a man standing a little distance away from her. he was on black trousers and black jacked. He also have a first-cap on his head which covered his fore head then a big black spectacles covering his eyes. She became frightened as her heart and her heart began beat rapidly.
