MIA’S POVKnocking loudly on Tyler’s door, I looked around frantically in fright.“Tyler, are you inside? Please open the door” I shouted. My feet were sore from running, I was completely drenched by the rain. My teeth were chattering due to my shivering state. I was cold.I heard a click on the doorknob, making me sigh in relief. Tyler opened the door, I couldn't help myself from crashing into his chest. I let all the tears out.He helped me inside before slamming the door shut.“Pearl? What happened, why are you outside at this time?” he questioned, his voice filled with worry. I buried my face in his chest, soaking his shirt with my wet dress. “ You were right. He is a monster” I burst into tears. I thought there was an ounce of love in him. I was wrong to think Denver had other emotions aside from anger and rage.“Shhh,I'm here. You are safe here” He cooed. “Why don’t you go upstairs and change? I’ll make you a hot cup of tea ” He grinned, trying to make me feel better. I nodded

MIA’S POVAs I stared blankly at the computer in front of me, my mind drifted to my encounter with Dylan this morning. I felt my lips twitch into a satisfied smile. His jaw was clenched with an angry expression on his face. I could see invisible smoke coming out of his ears. He was as shocked as others when I was announced as the new COO of STERLO MULTINATIONAL COOPERATION. I pursed my mouth into a self-satisfied smirk.“I believe you have ears, Mr. Dylan. Should I take your silence as an answer that you are aware of this scheme?” I questioned, pressing hard to get a reaction. His hardened expression was beginning to fade into panic. Pathetic! I scoffed. Typical for someone as cruel and covetous as him.He scoffed “I don't understand you, Ma’am! “Are you accusing me of embezzlement? I smirked, noticing he was beginning to panic. “ Don't shoot yourself in the leg Mr Dylan, you just clearly accused yourself.”“As the Account Manager, explain to us why 25% of each financial trans

MIA'S POV"What?" I blurted in awe I wasn't expecting to hear that from him.Denver looked unbothered by the shock in my voice as he continued stabbing aggressively on the keyboard of the BrailleNote Apex Machine in front of him."Denver! The Chief Operations Officer? That's insane man. She doesn't even know much about the company" Tyler bellowed, clearly irritated by Denver's decision. This made Denver stop abruptly.“Are you forgetting your marriage is simply based on a contract that will come to an end in a few years? What are you saying, man?”So he knew it was a contract marriage to his cousin."It is my company and my rule. If you have a problem with it, I don't give a fuck" He yelled back. "I can give my woman whatever I desire. If you are gonna have a problem working directly under her, you can fucking quit the job" He thundered furiously. The way he called me his woman made my heart swell for unknown reasons."You are clearly pussy whipped. Choosing a bitch over your own bro

MIA’S POV (FLASHBACK) “Riley, please slow down” I tried to steady my breathing as Riley drove at high speed. The memory of what happened to Dad and me was imprinted at the back of my mind. “I knew we shouldn't have brought her with us.” Callie, Riley's friend hissed in annoyance. I ignored her and stared at the road. Riley's friends never liked me and in my defense, the feeling was mutual. George, Riley’s boyfriend, increased the volume of the radio. “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar blared out of the loudspeaker “This song is for you, Mia. Be humble and shut the fuck up. You are becoming annoying” Riley yelled at the top of her voice”. I tried distracting myself from the noise as I stared out the window. Turning away from the window, I looked in front of me and saw Riley and George locked lips, kissing. “Come on Riley, concentrate on the road. You….. “ I was cut shut by a loud bang which was followed by a painful scream. “What just happened?” I was horrifi

MIA’S POV I did the only thing that I could think of “Hi! I'm Mia, nice to meet you.” I greeted. Denver knowing about Tyler and I would be the end of the contract. Seeing the broken look on his face, I gave him a sad smile. I could see the unshed tears in his eyes and I couldn't stop mine from falling. “Nice to meet you Mia, you must be Denver’s wife” His voice pierced me like a knife. It was mixed with pain and anger. “Go get ready Mia, Tyler will drive you to the party, I have unfinished business to take care of,” Denver said in a nonchalant tone. My breath hitched, what! I didn't hear that right…. Alone with Tyler in the same space? I can't, the guilt will suffocate me to death. “What do you mean Tyler will drive me to the party? Aren't you gonna be there? I desperately asked hoping he would reconsider. He slammed his fist loudly on the table making me flinch in fright. He hissed in annoyance, “WHAT PART OF “I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS” DON’T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND? DO I LO

MIA’S POVI stared in horror as I watched Denver sweep his cane side by side trying to reach out to me."A friend… it's… a friend. A friend from college…" I lied. I could feel my body trembling. Finding out about my Tyler would sabotage the contract."Now! I will say this once and for all" he seethed. " You belong to me, your body, your soul, all mine till I say otherwise you understand?His cologne filled my nostrils and I found myself relaxing in his presence. “Weirdo”. Surprisingly, I found myself getting excited by his threats. “Ye… yes… “ I answered, trying to calm down my racing heart. Oh God! I was expecting a day like this to come but not so early. Tyler mustn’t know of this, not now. “Good! I won’t ever repeat myself again, is that clear?” He asked, waiting for an answer.I gave him a curt nod but quickly whispered “yes” when I realized he couldn’t see me. “You coming with me to a charity ball tonight” Denver’s cold voice broke me out of my trance. “I’m not a patient man Mi
