Miranda Priestly is a well know woman due to being Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine. She has been with Runway for almost twenty years now and her life is good, apart the success of keeping a husband. But she is the luckiest woman in the world, having had two beautiful girls, twins Cassidy and Caroline.
Miranda's first marriage was with James, the twins' father. A lawyer and handsome man that she met when she went to a friends house around ten years ago.
When they married, she was already established within the fashion industry, so she never lied to him. Unfortunately, for their marriage, she became more and more famous while he became jealous of her always being surrounded by models, men and women.
Five years together and the obvious appears, they separated for two months. But the flame was still around and they became back and because of the lust, what made a constant of angry sex and from these encounters, she became pregnant.
Miranda never saw herself as a mother. The pregnancy was a total accident. They always use condoms and she was on the pill. She was not sure what went wrong, maybe the quality of the last condom was not acceptable. Suddenly she is sick all the time and wondering if it could be cancer because her mother died from it, she was taken by surprise that she could not be more alive.
She decided to continue with the pregnancy but her relation with James was slowly changing again. He decided to be a constant drunk and once became violent with her. Well, she forgave him but said if he ever is aggressive again he will spend all his life in jail.
The reason to continue the pregnancy was because she could not see herself trying for a baby. Better to take this pregnancy than to try later and not be able to do business is always being her priority. As she might forget until her age stops any chance of her being a mother. She never imagined wanting a baby but since she discovered that she would be a mother, she was totally in love with it. The news that it was twins takes her by surprise since there is no history in hers or James' family.
After a short time, he left her unable to be around her and a baby, especially twins babies. She was left alone when she was four months pregnant. She jumps at work as ever saw before and Nigel basic need to take her to the hospital when the twins decided to born two weeks earlier.
Only at their birth did she discovered their sex. She wanted it to be a surprise, just as becoming a mother was.
When the doctor said it was two girls, she cannot suppress the tears and showed the biggest smile. She moved into a big house, a townhouse, only to be able to have plenty of space for her children.
The twins room, because they will be in the same room, for the first year. Her doctor recommended it for better bonding between the babies. Miranda read every book she could find about twins, are a mix of yellow and light purple tones. And other colors came after, when her girls are old enough to choose, they will tell what they want.
One year later their divorced James decided to ask her if he could come back telling he misses her. She wanted to laugh at his excuse that he was suffering from depression and wanted to come back for the girl's life. But at the same time, she did not want her girls growing up not having their father figure out of her life.
They made an agreement that for the first two years, he only saw the girls once or twice a month . It was not an easy time for Miranda because she truly did not forget easy when someone betrays her trust and this was exactly what he'd done. Now years after Caroline and Cassidy had born, they share the guard.
Nigel, her good friend, is the godfather of the girls and there is nothing more fitting about that. But at work, he is only one of her employees and she can't treat him any different from the others.
James and Miranda are doing well in their relationship, after a long time of regrets. But one thing they have in common, both remarried after theirs failed. James tried to find other women like his ex- and Miranda is trying desperately to find a constant father figure for her girls, now seven years old.
Miranda became engage two times after two mistaken marriages. At her fail engagements: a diplomatic from the Uk, that reminds her of her childhood time and an English teacher from Canada. Their engagements did not go further than six months with the first, mostly because of the distance between them and the second, four months, because he didn't know how to deal with her power and success.
One year ago, her last relationship ended and since then, she decided to live her life for the girls. It was better this way until this night.
Miranda is in one of her dinners, where she tries to find more marketing and supporters for the magazine when a very elegant man comes to talk to her. She knows him, they dated some years ago, before her marriage with James.
"Hello, Miranda. It is lovely to see you again."
"Hi, Stephen."
