Rico. "Do you still have doubts about Mia?" Dante's angry voice sounds above me and I try to open my eyes but it seems impossible. My body feels like it's pressed down with a tremendous force. No matter how hard I try to move it, it proves fruitless. I can hear their voices but I can't react in any way. Did they do something to her? She promised she wouldn't leave me but I can't feel her presence. Did she leave me again? "He just offered Mia a million dollars to make her stay away from Rico," Fabio says and anger surges in me. I have to make a move before they drive her away. They want to make her more angry. Dante chuckles in mockery, "You are not serious, are you? Do you think Maxim, a ruthless Russian drug lord will be after a girl worth a million dollars? I knew you were ignorant Marcus, but haven't you seen the cars she drives, the security around her? Believe it or not, It will only require a snap of her fingers to have your head. Don't let your stupidity land you in troubl

Mia. Days have passed since the shootout, and Rico is faring well so far. The wounds are not fully healed and as stubborn as he is, he refuses to stay at home. My mother hasn't recovered either. Her state has not improved one bit. She is stuck in a damn coma. I want to see how she will behave when she wakes up. Everyone around me advises me to stay away from her, but since I am a considerate person, I am waiting to see if she will change or not. Who knows? Maybe her behavior was being forced on her by my grandfather. Rico and I decided to know everything about each other as we had agreed the day we were going for Massimo. So, today, Rico will take me to every place he owns, and after I do the same, we will finalize the day with a date. All I can say is that I am impressed by Rico's effort. All the clubs we have visited are top-notch. I am glad he is not involved in the mafia businesses anymore. This means when I finally step down, we won't have enemies knocking on our door like ri

Mia. "Mia wait" I slide down my window and look at Diego who seems to be out of breath. " Were you just leaving without saying hi? Dante is inside and so is everyone we would like you to meet. Everyone is eager to meet our boss girl" He glances at Rico and I do the same. I am so angry right now. The only destination I have in mind is my guest room. I am itching to grab that bitch by her hair and drag her to the swimming pool and drown the hell out of her. But staring at Rico's calm face, I understand how unfair I am. Today was supposed to be our day together and from what Diego just said, makes me realize he had alerted his friends of my visitation. How can I be so inconsiderate of his feelings? I know Rico won't object to my decisions. That's why he silently got in the car when I told him we were going back home. He has been entirely living in my world and I have never given his world a chance. Fuck, now my heart is aching with guilt. "I will bring her some other time Diego, te

Mia. "Rico.. " I call out patting the spot beside me only to realize it is already cold. Opening my eyes, I look around the well-lit room and sigh. Great, I overslept again. I sit up on the big bed and tiredly rub my eyes. Yesterday after the funeral, Nikolai called and advised me not to go after My grandfather just yet. He said we needed a good plan before walking to the lion's den. So, Rico once again, suggested that I spend the night with him but waking up this morning, I am disappointed to find myself in bed alone.After a short shower, I rummage through the side of my closet for something comfy to wear. For some reason, I am feeling a little bit tired this morning, so working out is out of the equation. After putting on an oversized yellow sweater with white knee socks, I trudge down the stairs but halt when I see him. Marcus is sitting alone in the living room and I wonder whether I should go ahead or turn back. Where the hell is Rico? He must be in the gym since it's stil

Rico. Nothing in my life has ever made me emotional like I am feeling right now. The girl on my lap means everything to me. She is so precious and I would turn the whole world upside down if I were to lose her. If what Kay says is true, then I will have to protect her with my life. The thought of her being pregnant for me makes my eyes itch. I fucking feel like crying. "It's just a guess, Rico. We have to confirm it first" Kay breaks my trance and only then, do I lift my eyes from Mia. I love her, men. I love her so fucking much. "Well, I can relate brother. Sandra used to have weird mood swings when she was pregnant, and she sure ate a lot" Dante laughs and I can't help but smile a little. I will not mind her mood swings at all. I will be the most patient man to exist." Don't give him false hope just yet, he kept the girl up all night. What if she is just tired? " Diego says and I glare at him. What does he know about women?Idiot. "Fuck" Mia whispers squinting her eyes open.
