The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1086

After what seemed like ages, the peaceful silence in the car was broken by a phone ringing. It was Mirabella's phone.

Groggily waking up, Mirabella opened her eyes, momentarily disoriented about her surroundings. The persistent ring of the phone quickly brought her back to reality. She grabbed her phone, but the ringing had already stopped. Glancing at the caller ID, she then turned to look out the window, her voice soft, "We're home already?"

James noticed she was awake and switched on the car light. "You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you."

The warm glow bathed Mirabella's face, giving her drowsy expression a dreamy, ethereal look. She nodded with a soft hum, unbuckling her seatbelt and reaching for the door handle, only to have her wrist gently caught.

She turned back, puzzled, meeting James’s gaze.

James gave a slight smile, leaned in, and gently pulled her closer. "How about a little compensation?"

Mirabella blinked, her instinctive reply was, "Goodnight?"

James chuckled softly, then released her wrist, only to cradle the back of her head, his lips brushing her forehead before lingering on her lips. They stayed there just a moment before another phone ring interrupted them. He pulled back with a grin, "Now that’s what I call compensation."

Mirabella cleared her throat, glanced at her phone, and said, "I better get going."

Without waiting for a response, she opened the door and stepped out, her figure disappearing into the night.

James watched her enter the villa with a smile, then started the car and drove off.
