Chapter 74: Pizza Date

Ava's POV

My hormones and my heart planned on murdering me each time Miguel and I were in proximity.

The sexual tension kept increasing but I was determined to fight it. But it was proving to be the hardest task, especially since Miguel was becoming a changed person.

There has been a really big change in Miguel since our agreement. He was so much softer, and not just at the orphanage or to the factory workers. Lately, his warmth was spread to everyone, including his men in the house.

Miguel was less violent toward them and hadn't hit or tried to kill any of them in the last few days, which I would call progress. If I remember correctly, it was usually the opposite.

He was really trying, and I could tell that none of this was easy for him, which made me feel proud. I was proud of him and how he was handling things.

He was cheerful, fun, and nothing like the Miguel I met the day I was auctioned to him. Thinking about that time in comparison to now, It felt like a different lifetime.
