66. Find out who Rihanna truly is

Miranda point of view:

I stood in front of my family's house. I couldn't help it but allow the tears to slide down my cheeks. I remembered how my mum locked me outside because I was covered in dirt which was caused by those students. That was the day I decided to take my life and the hurtful words she told me are yet to leave my heart.

I am so angry at mum, she is my mother and the one that is supposed to stand by my side more than anyone else. She is not worthy to be called a mother because mothers do not discriminate among their children. They love them equally and they are the ones that always give their children the courage to move forward in life.

Even if anyone is against their children, the reverse is the case for them because they will stand up for their children in any situation but my mother was different, she does not have any of these features and she still calls herself a mother.

I wiped my tears and put on a straight face. I will not be weak, I will make my mother realize her mistake by taking everything away from her. I stare at the documents in my hand and smile. With this, I will be able to take all that my mother has. This is a way to pay her for everything she did to me, she made me live a peasant life when she has all it takes to give me a better life. I toil day and night to meet my needs when my mother could easily do it for me because she does it for my sisters. I will make both my mother and my sisters know what it feels like to live a peasant life. I will take everything they have and I will make them live a peasant life like I did. They will also toil day and night to meet their needs like I did.

I put on a fake smile and pressed the doorbell, the door was opened for me by Mandie. She gasps in surprise. Why the heck is she acting as if she wasn't expecting. I told her I will come or she thinks like I'm like those that do not keep their promises.

She even sent me their address, it is just funny, sending me an address of the place I lived from childhood.

She smiles at me excitedly and I smile back.

“Come in, you are highly welcome." She said ushering me in with a smile. She so much resisted herself from hugging me.

I gently walk in looking round the ineffable sitting room. I miss my home, I really do. I don't have to be emotional right now, it is time for me to be strong.

“Wow! Rihanna you are!" Clair exclaimed beaming out as she entered the sitting room with mum. I stare at mum, she smiled at me.

Smiling at me is what she hasn't done before. She couldn't even stand my presence talkmore of smiling at me. Until now I don't understand their mentality of discriminating against ugly people. Aren't the ugly people created by the same goddess who created the beautiful people?

“You must be Rihanna, right?" She asked. I nodded. She grinned. “I've heard so much about you from my daughters and indeed what they said were true, you are so beautiful and rich too."

Internally, I chuckled bitterly. Beauty is what you want mum and that was why you couldn't even love your own daughter.

“Come sit, I made so many dishes for you. I don't know your favorite so I made a lot of them," she added as we all walked to the dining table. The table is filled with many dishes with redolent aroma.

This is the first time in my entire life mum has serve something for me to eat, if I didn't know them I will think that they are angels with pure heart but it is certain that they are being all this nice and sweet because I'm beautiful and rich

“So, do you live with your parents?" Mum asked as we were all eating. I hesitated before answering that question. My parents? Well they are dead even though my mother is alive, I'm like someone who has no mother.

“They are late, I'm living on my own," I replied

“Oh! My God, we are sorry about that," she cuts in looking really sorry

“Is nothing, you don't have to feel sorry for anything."

…..

We had a good time during the dinner, I really enjoyed it. This is my first time eating happily with my mum and my sisters as one big family. If we have been living this way when I was ugly, I will never have the mind to try and take my life. They were the main reason I decided to take life.

I think it is time for me to execute my plan, I smile as I bring out the documents.

“What's that?" My mum asked.

“Ehm..... I just wanna use this to say thank you for the dinner. There is this plattform that I discovered, you can really make a lot of money from it. Promise me that you won't let any other person know about it once I reveal it to you guys, this platform is the secret of my wealth." I stated

“Wow! Is such an honor from you. Tell us about it, we promise not to let anyone know about it," Mandie said

I smiled and began explaining the fake platform. “It is this way…. if you invest a particular amount of money, you will get ten times the money you invested for example if you invest 1 million, you will get 10 million and so on."

“What! are you sure of what you are saying?"Claire asked with her eyes wide as saucers.

“Of course, I have no reason to lie to you guys. It is the secret of my wealth, I do not make money only from modeling," I replied.

“We are so grateful to you for telling us about this platform but why us of all people? You don't even know us that much." Mum said. I know that my mum will try to act clever but I will show her who is more clever.

“I do repay those that show kindness towards me, I love how you people treated me. You made me feel like this is my home and you made me feel like I have a family. I just want to use this platform to say thank you." I tried to brainwash mum.

“Mum, she is only trying to be nice and nothing more and besides we will make a lot from this platform" Mandie chips in.

“It's not like I'm doubting you, it's just that I was overwhelmed," mum said.

“Well you don't have to be, I have good intentions for this."

“Okay if you say so, I think we are going to invest a hundred million."Mum dropped the bombshell but I tried not to show my shock.

What! She wants to invest that much, well I pity them. This will definitely be their end. I guess greedy people are the easiest to be deceived.

“Then you will have to sign this document, and your money will be ready in a week's time."

“You mean, in a week's time, we will be supper richer!" Clair beams.

No, Clair is rather super poor. Such greedy people, you want to be a billionaire. I thought they would even invest small but they invested a lot. I also have another plan aside from this one. This document mum is signing right now does not only state about that plattform. It also states that their houses and cars and everything they have will be legally mine, luckily for me.... Mum is not even reading the documents while signing, she is carried away by the so much money they will get from the fake plattform.

“Before seven days, you will have your money back in multitude," I said

“Thank you so much for this Rihanna," mum appreciate

“You are welcome." I fake a smile. It was not even hard to brainwash them, such idiots.

“I will be on my way now," I said after a few seconds. “And thank you once again for the meal, I really had a good time."

“You are welcome, have a nice day, Mandie and Clair will escort you out," Mum said. I nodded with a smile, I was actually smiling at their foolishness.

Alexander's point of view:

I was trying to concentrate on what I was doing but I just couldn't. The thought about Rihanna filled my mind. Why do I even worry so much about her? Why can't I get her off my head? Why do I feel that she's Miranda? What is this feeling I'm having for her? I just can't explain it and what was that mark on her chest? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere. I closed my eyes to think in retrospect. After some while, I flapped my eyes open as I remembered something.

Yes, I've seen that mark on Miranda. I saw it on her chest that day she fell on me.

My eyes widened in shock. But why would Rihanna have the same birthmark as Miranda? Is that even possible? I bet something is not right and I have to find out.

She has the same mark as Miranda and whenever I'm with her, I feel that she's Miranda although I can't feel the spark or the mate bond.

Yes, I found out that Miranda is my mate the day she fell on me. I've been longing to find my mate and I promised to love her no matter who she is but I had a second thought when I found out that Miranda was my mate. I don't even know much about her, I only hear from my friends about the ugly girl in school but I never cared about her. I was shocked when I found out that she was my mate. I was conflicted not knowing what to do. Should I accept her or reject.

I even regretted acting like a bitch towards her that day. I should have hugged her and accepted her as my mate immediately but I left her. I heard how students always bully her, especially Kiara. Even though I was yet to come to terms of accepting her as my mate, I still won't let them bully me that was why I returned back to stop Kiara from hurting her further but still I was a coward. I left her again and that was the worst decision I've ever made because I didn't see her afterwards. I found her family but they didn't know of her whereabouts. For over one month, I've been searching for her but I'm yet to find her.

I've promised myself that I will quickly accept her as my mate if I find her, I don't care if she's ugly. All I know is that she's my mate and I will love her. I know I have the right to reject her but I don't want to. I've not told anyone yet that she's my mate. I will do so once I find her.

My mind drifted back to Rihanna and the birthmark. Ever since I met her, I don't know why I feel like she's Miranda.

Wait a minute, what am I even thinking? She can't be Miranda. How can Miranda suddenly turn beautiful and rich? Is not possible, I'm just overthinking. Besides, different individuals can have the same birthmark.

But still I can't help it, I need to get answers to my questions. I need to find out who Rihanna truly is.
