Still Insane

Mia's POV

Dylan is still a horrible person; well, it's not like I expected him to be a changed man or anything by now, but how could he act all familiar and cosy with me like we're long-time friends? Okay, maybe we were, but not anymore. Not after what he did to me.

I'm only here to do my job, and when I'm done with that, we'll go our separate ways again. This is all about business so I'll just have to do my best to put up with him for as long as we're working together. I keep having this feeling he's going to be unnecessarily difficult, but that's fine; I came prepared for his bullshit.

I was more than exhausted by the time I got back to the hotel room Dylan's " assistant" kindly arranged for me; I could bet anything he was fucking her secretly, though, but I don't care; that's the kind of man he is. I just hope she doesn't make the same mistake I made.

I groaned as I threw myself into the bed. Another day, another stuck-up, arrogant client. This has been my life since I graduated but I can't give up. I have to get to the top no matter what. I'm almost there and fixing Mr Scott's image is the boost I need for my career. I'm sure I can handle him, I know I can. He tried so hard to hide it, but I could see that I had some effect on him, so I can work with that.

I had to make him a better man as soon as possible, like the man I knew before he left me. For the next two weeks, I'll have to be with him every and anywhere, that's the only way this could work. I can't risk leaving him alone to mess up in front of the world.

"I can do this.", I reassured myself as I took off my clothes so I could have a quick bath. A few minutes later, I was done with my bath; while drying my hair, the hotel phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Mia darling! How did it go? Are you in? Did he agree to work with us...I mean you." My co-worker asked, completely catching me off guard

I sighed and replied to her calmly," Everything went smoothly, Dominique."

"Really? He's agreed to everything stated in the contract?"

"We're getting there". It's not like he has a choice anyway.

"I know you're great at what you do but Mr Scott is a tough-"

I scoffed. "Yeah, no shit. I know he's a tough guy, but I've dealt with a lot of men like him, so don't worry. I'm going to bed now, Goodnight." I put the phone down before she could respond.

I was about to start my skincare when the phone rang again. Why the hell is she being so paranoid about this?

I answered, "Please let me rest tonight. I know how to deal with Mr Scott."

"You know how to deal with me, Mia?"

I gasped, you have to be kidding me. "What is it? Why on earth are you calling me by this time, Mr Scott?"

"Am I not supposed to be in contact with you, Mia? I mean, Miss Jason? We might be working together for a while soon."

I scoffed. "We might? We're going to work together, sir, because whether you want to admit it or not, you need me, Mr Scott."

He sighed. "I'm not denying the fact that I need you Miss Jason, but for us to work well together, I need you to stop acting like we're strangers when we practically know everything about each other."

"We are strangers, Mr Scott. Don't get any funny ideas; this is strictly business, and you do not know anything about me."

"Well, I know you're in a cute pyjama set right now, getting ready to do your skincare routine before you go to bed. I also happen to know you had a bath a few minutes ago, and damn, your nipples looked more rosier than I remember."

I gasped and shook my head in disgust and disbelief. "How the hell? Did you set up cameras in this room Mr Scott? I should've known. Why did I agree to be sponsored by your company?"

"You don't have to look so disgusted, Mia," he laughed, "I've seen every part of you before; I'm just admiring the way you look now. I remember every inch of you, how soft your ass is, how pink and tight your pretty pussy is-"

"What the fuck? Dylan. Can you just stop acting like this already? You're a freaking Billionaire, not a sex-deprived teenage kid."

"So now you remember my first name?" he laughed, "Relax, babe, I'm just getting started with you." he laughed again. Asshole. I've had enough of his nonsense so I hung up on him without replying.

As I expected, the phone rang again almost immediately. After the third ring, he left a voicemail.

"Mia. If you don't pick up the fucking phone, I'm going to find my way to your hotel room and there's nothing you're going to do or say to send me away. So stop being a bitch and call me back right now!"

Okay, it's official. He's insane as fuck.

It's better to deal with him on the phone than have him in here with me, so I picked up the phone and dialled his number quickly. He picked up almost immediately and I said," What the fuck is your problem? Why are you trying to mess with me?"

"I wasn't trying to mess with you before but now, I think I should."

"Dylan, for Christ's sake. Please just leave me alone tonight. I'm more than stressed and I just don't want to deal with whatever it is you're trying to do."

"You can rest with me. Open your door right now or I'm going to do that myself. I have the key anyway." He hung up.

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    My Terms

    Dylan's POV She opened the door for me with a look of annoyance or maybe, disgust? on her face, but I was more than ready for any confrontation. I know her better than she knows herself, whether she'd like to admit it or not."You do know you shouldn't be here right now?" She said as I walked in, "We are business partners, but this isn't in any way part of business.""We were more than just business partners at one time, weren't we?", I smirked."Oh my gosh! That was ten whole years ago. Can you not bring that up?" She slammed the door behind her in annoyance."Well, you can't blame me for remembering our beautiful past, Miss Jason." I said as I took a seat by the table."Can you please just leave already?!" She paced the room muttering stuff to herself, one of the things she did when she was pissed. My eyes watched her full boobs with pointed nipples, bouncing up and down as she marched round the room.When she looked up at me and noticed where my eyes were, she stopped moving and f

    Mia's POV I was waiting patiently in his office the next morning with the contract in my handbag."Good Morning, Mr Scott.""I wish we could drop the formalities, Miss Jason. Wouldn't that be more comfortable?" His icy blue eyes locked with mine, challenging me. Unfortunately for him, I came prepared."I'd feel better if we could keep the formalities during and outside work, sir," I said in a mocking tone.He scoffed and was about to say something when he glanced at his assistant Bella, who was there to take notes of our meeting."During and outside work huh?" He smirked, leaning in his chair. "Okay then, Miss Jason. Let's see how long you keep up with that."I suddenly had the urge to punch the smug look off his face."I'd love to have another meaningless argument with you today but I'm tired from the wild night I had last night. Thanks to you invading my hotel room last night and pissing me off, I went to a nightclub and had hot sex with a stranger. Let's get this over with so I ca

    Dylan's POV I wanted to apologise for hurting her and her family, especially her. I also wanted to explain myself and give answers to all her questions from ten years ago. But this wasn't the time for that yet.With this contract, though, I would make sure I have the right space and chance to talk to her about it.I picked up the contract, flipping through each page to see the so-called changes she's made.Miss Mia Jason agrees to spend personal time outside work hours with client Mr Dylan Scott, on all days of the week including weekends. She added under it, For three to four hours a day, weekends excluded.Four hours is more than enough for me. I could work with that.I smiled a bit as I read the next clause. During travel, Miss Mia Jason must sleep in the same room as the client, Mr Dylan Scott. She wrote under it in capital letters... DREAM ON. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.I looked up at her, amused. "Don't tell me you don't trust yourself enough to stay away from me, Miss Jason?"She g

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Awkward

    Mia's POV We walked through the building where Dylan's first official interview was being held. He walked with so much pride and confidence that no one would guess that he had not done a live interview before. I wanted to slap his head to bring him down to earth but that would be unnecessary trouble for me right now. He still had the same annoying poker face and closed-off attitude. I used to think I would be able to see through him, know how he feels and what he thinks about. But I could never understand Dylan and anytime I finally felt like he'd let me in, he'd quickly shut me out again. It hurt then because I was open and vulnerable with him. I showed him parts of me my brother is unaware of. I worked hard to strengthen our bond but he worked hard to push me away all the time. I think deep down I knew he didn't love me, but I had hope...I was desperate but that's all in the past now. I walked a few feet behind him, going through the interview questions and our other schedule

    Mia's POV I couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling exactly but I know it wasn't good. Even when we were together ten years ago, it was hard to tell how he felt seeing me with other guys. I tried everything to make him notice me with them so he'd be jealous or something but he didn't. I regret it all. Wearing skimpy clothes and push-up bras, burying my dignity and respect just to get him to notice me. We'd get together, and I'd think it's for good until he pushes me away again, claiming he feels guilty for fucking his best friend's sister. "It's nice to meet you, Mr Scott," Nico said to Dylan cautiously, bringing me back to the present. "Can I give you my business card?" "I won't be doing any business with someone like you." He rolled his eyes. Nico chuckled. "Okay then, can I at least buy you a drink?" "I can buy my drinks, little man. Why the fuck are you trying to act like we're pals?" "Dylan!!" I gasped. Why was he being more rude than usual? Was he annoyed?

    Mia's POV "Where are we going anyway?" I asked as my brother fastened my seatbelt for me in the backseat of his car.I had only agreed to follow my brother when I found out Dylan was coming with us. Even though he's way older than me, I couldn't help but want to be around him all the time.He's a part of our family now– because he mostly sleeps and eats here but I'm not complaining anymore. I used to be annoyed with him for getting so much attention and care from my family, but now I don't mind seeing him every day. He was being bullied by school and street kids till my brother saved him one time and decided to be his friend while teaching him self-defence. He didn't know who his parents were because he was put in foster care at a young age, but I overheard him telling Michael that he doesn't care about his biological parents, so he doesn't have a reason to find them.One time, my parents asked if they could adopt him but he said no. Michael told me it's because he feels like a burd

    About 11 Years ago...Mia's POV Liam and I had been together for two months, we started dating a week after I turned seventeen. My parents liked him but Michael didn't approve of our relationship. Not like I needed his approval anyway. We walked into a house party hosted by some guy I don't know. I looked around slowly for my brother and asked Liam to help."Your brother's over there." He pointed to the left side, holding my hand to lead the way.I smiled when I spotted Dylan close to my brother; I was wearing a short pleated skirt and an off-shoulder crop top just for him.My smile faded when we got closer and I saw a girl rush over to him. I wasn't surprised, though; girls are drawn to him like moths to a flame, and he never misses the opportunity to mess around with every one of them. I wished he'd mess around with me too.At a point, I thought my crush on Dylan would fade as I grew older, but that didn't happen. Instead, it became stronger...something more. I wasn't sure it was

    Mia's POV I shook my head slowly. I must be really drunk. There's no way it's Dylan, when did he get here? How did he even know where we were? He was clearly interested in that other girl when we left, so how is he here with his arm around my waist holding me tightly against himBefore I could get myself together, Liam got angry. "Yo, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" He stepped closer to us fuming.Dylan scoffed, then said, "Pipe down you little shit! Do you really think you stood a chance with Mia? Do you think she likes you or what? Well,, let me tell you now. I'm the reason she started going out with you, I'm the reason she's drunk out of her mind and here with you now!." He pulled me in closer, adding in a low tone, "She has my attention now."Liam opened his mouth to say something but Dylan interrupted him, "Don't you dare try to talk back at me!

    Mia’s POVHe couldn’t even give me a little time to think about all of this. To figure out how to introduce him into my daughter's life.I thought he was being dramatic or trying to emotionally blackmail me when he said he'd bring his lawyer but he was dead serious about it.I told him it wouldn't be fair for my lawyer to be absent and he only said fine and asked for his details. The next thing I knew, he flew both our lawyers here on his private jet first thing in the morning.First-class manipulation dressed up as efficiency. That was Dylan Scott for you. Always the strategist. Always five steps ahead. Always making decisions for both of us even when I'm supposed to be the one in charge.He rented out a huge conference room, which was so unnecessary because it's just four of us, but I didn’t bother to suggest a smaller, less expensive meeting place. It's his own money to waste after all.He sat at the head of the table like a CEO ready to close a billion-dollar deal, but this wasn’t

    Dylan's POV “Her daughter?” I managed to ask after a brief silence, I couldn’t believe my ears. There's no way I have a daughter I don't know about. My eyes shot to Mia.“Mia, I'm going to ask you as calmly as I can right now. What is your brother talking about?”She stared at me with wide eyes and confusion on her face while she held her chest like her heart was beating so fast it hurt but I couldn’t care about that at the moment. “Mia.” I stepped toward her, trying to remain calm. “I don’t want to beg you to speak up so fucking say something before I finally lose it.”She looked towards Amah, who shook her head sadly with pity in her eyes, and I could see Mia was still hesitating, but I didn't have the time for that. I need to know what's going on. I walked closer to her so our faces were inches apart.She glanced at her brother, probably for help, before looking at me, “Dylan, please, I can't…” She looked down at her feet.“You can’t what, Mia?

    Dylan’s POV I was done playing her games. Done waiting for her to admit what we both knew was still there. So once again, I took control. She had no idea I’d been tracking her brother for weeks, well, if she did, she'd definitely freak out and get pissed at me. I hired a private investigator the second I found out through my secretary that we would have to come home. Through the guy I hired, I memorized Michael’s habits, the places he visited, the people he saw, when he went to and came back from work, and the times he was alone. Eventually, I got the perfect opportunity to meet him with Mia. A dinner reservation at a restaurant. That’s where I'd staged the coincidence. That’s where I decided to finally confront them both. It was sneaky. Bold. Maybe even insane. But I was way past caring about that. I’d do anything for her now. I'd do anything for us. And now that I was standing face to face with the man who used to be my best friend, my adopted brother, the man who now looke

He ignored my question and said angrily. “I should be the one asking you that.”His wife, Amah, sighed. “We're here on a date; we heard the food here is great, and it is.” She smiles.“That's nice.” I smiled back before facing my brother, “I didn’t want to come here, but he didn't give me a choice; it's not like we're here on a date, too or something.” Dylan chuckled. “Come on, babe. There's no need to pretend in front of your brother.”I would've slapped him if we weren't in a restaurant. Instead, I said to him coldly. “Please don't play your dumb games in front of my brother. Stop embarrassing me every chance you get.”“I'm not trying to embarrass you, sweetheart. Your brother knows about us already so we don't need to hide our relationship.”Michael scoffed, “So you two are really together. Wow, that's just…wo

    Dylan's POV I followed Mia into the only foster home I enjoyed staying in. We decided it was best to get media coverage of me here since I had already talked about this place in a few interviews. I hadn’t been back here since I entered college and moved into an apartment with Michael but it still felt familiar. It felt like home. Mia nudged me a bit and said quietly. “Remember you have to smile and be friendly, Mr. Scott. There are little kids here, you don’t want to scare them, do you?”I scoffed. “I'm a freaking billionaire. They should kiss the path I walk on and fear my presence.”“Oh, please, Mr. Scott.” she laughed sarcastically. “You’re not that important just because you're rich.”“What do you mean by I'm not that important?”“I said what I said. Money isn't everything.”“But it is.”“Okay, Yes, I agree. I'm not interested in having immature arguments with you in front of children.”“Oh, so you're the mature one now?” I laughed “I always have been; now, here comes the came

You can’t just say things like that to me anymore, so please stop. I’d rather talk about anything else.”Her words hit hard. Not because I didn’t expect the anger. I did and I know I deserved it. But hearing the girl who once loved everything about me express her hatred for me, made it worse.She was done with me. No.I can't accept defeat.I sat there, staring at her, wondering what I could say to her to make her love me again.

I was as far away from him as possible, my back against the seat.After everything that had happened at the photoshoot three days ago, and then the uncomfortable meeting with the woman he’d brought to my brother's birthday party to rub in my face, I needed space from him.The last two days had been jam-packed with press interviews, more shoots and foster home visits, leaving no time to talk.Today was going to be the hardest day we’d faced so far.
