"Mia," Colton whispered. He was about to touch her but she stopped him by moving her body further away from him. She still did not look at him.
Colton sighed.
He dropped down to one knee before her. She was still seated on the couch and there was only a few inches gap between them.
Colt's mouth moved to say something but he found himself not being able to voice out anything. He had no idea how to start the conversation, how to make everything make sense to Mia, and what to do to assure her that he didn't cheat on her.
Colt ran a hand over his face.
Mia heard him sniff a few times and for the first time since he walked in, She took a
A small smile crept to Mia's lips. "Even though I want to kill Natasha right now for disrupting this beautiful plan of yours, I'm happy you went out of your way to plan all of these for me. My exes hardly put any effort into my birthday. They only get me a cake and sometimes a gift. Don't blame yourself for anything, Colt. It wasn't your fault.""I'm deeply sorry for everything Natasha did to us. You don't need to feel disgusted about yourself. I'll make you forget her touch and every other silly thing she did to you. I promise." For some reason, Mia's voice came out seductively."What did I do to deserve you?" He whispered, running his thumb over her lower lip.Mia shook her head. "I should be the one asking you that question. You've been nothing but a lig
While Mia took a shower, Colton made some calls in the living room. First, he called Simeon to send breakfast to them, and then he called all the necessary people, to make the emergency Sicily trip possible. Mia requested that they spend a couple of days there and Colt made up his mind that they were going to spend one week in Sicily, Italy. They will be returning to New York next Sunday.After speaking to a couple of people, Colton called the last person on his list. Caleb Royal.He was almost giving up about his brother picking up his call but Caleb eventually picked."Heyyyyy!" A tired voice came through."Don't tell me you're still sleeping!" Colton said in disbelief.
Mia expected the flight to Sicily to be long and maybe a little boring but to her surprise, it was the exact opposite. As promised, Colton didn't leave her side except to use the bathroom so She had nothing to be afraid of.They had food, drinks, snacks and made conversations most of the time. One of the things Mia loved about Colton was the fact that they were never out of topics to talk about. They were both great conversationalists and she loved the fact that Colton was a good listener.At first, She was afraid of letting out her opinions around him, scared that he might not always find sense in everything she said because he was older, experienced, and way smarter than her but fortunately, that was not the case. Colton had never for once made Mia feel less about herself. He respected her opinion as well as he respecte
Mia obeyed. She slowly opened her eyes. Her lips gently curved into a smile as she took in our surroundings. The big master bedroom was decorated with balloons and stars that were hung from the ceiling.There was also a decoration on the wall behind the bed which said 'Happy Birthday, Queen Mia'. And the king-sized bed was filled with gifts. A big cake and a few designer shopping bags. Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, and Fendi.Colton walked towards Mia and hugged her from behind. He placed a kiss on her left shoulder. "Happy birthday, Queen. We shall be celebrating your birthday all week.""Colton," Mia whispered."Yes, babe. You want to open your gifts?"
"A surprise?" Colton arched his brow.Mia nodded slowly."You know you don't have to give me anything, babe. I'm good as long as I have you.""I know, but I already have the surprise with me. It's up to you if you want to see it or not." She said with a small smile on her face."Sure, what is it or should I say where is it?" He asked, curiously. This was going to be her first gift to him."Promise you're not going to mock me!""Okay, you're scaring me!" Colt chuckled."There's nothing to be scared of. Just promise you won't laugh at
Colton Royal had always been an early riser so it wasn't a surprise that he woke up before Mia. He smiled seeing that they were in the same position as they were before they fell asleep.Mia was still snuggled against him. She looked really peaceful as she slept but Colt couldn't help but chuckle a little seeing how extremely exhausted she was. The duo couldn't get enough of each other. They had sex 4 times and only went to bed at 5:30 in the morning.Colton placed a long kiss on Mia's forehead, carefully released himself from her, put the duvet aside, and got down from the bed. He reached for his shorts, put them on, picked up his phone, and quietly exited the room.Colt went straight to the kitchen, made himself some coffee, then settled on the counter an
When it was almost time for their lunch date, the duo dressed up and took their leave. Colton was so damn serious about inspecting Mia's outfit before they stepped out. Well, he made things easier for them by picking out her outfit. He didn't want her to be gawked at by anyone.By the time they arrived at the said restaurant, Theodore and Sammie were already there. Upon seeing them approach the table. The duo rose to their feet to welcome them."Oh my God, Colt. You didn't tell me she was so fucking Gorgeous." Sammie said."Hi, love. I'm Samantha but you can call me Sammie. It's so nice to finally meet you, sweetheart." Before Mia knew it, Sammie pulled her into a warm hug. She smiled, returning the hug. "It's nice to finally meet you too, Sammie. I'm Mia."
Days later.Colton needed to make some phone calls so he went to the living room for privacy. Once he was done, he went back to the bedroom to join Mia. They would be leaving Sicily tomorrow morning so they had to gather their things.Stepping into the room, Colt saw Mia sitting on the edge of the bed. She was deep in thoughts and she had a sad look on her face. She hadn't even started packing because Colton didn't see their bags anywhere.He went over to where she was, took a seat beside her, and made her sit on his lap.He raised her chin with his thumb so she could look into her eyes. "What is it, my love?" He didn't like the fact that she looked unhappy."The v
Colton excused himself to go take a shower and when he was done, he joined his family in the home theater room. They all cuddled on the very comfy chair with a blanket over them. Mia and Colt were at the edge and the twins were in the middle as they watched some cartoons.The two precious jewels fell asleep in about an hour. After watching them sleep for a couple of minutes, both parents carried them to bed. Colton carried Chloe while Mia carried Claire. They tucked them in and placed kisses on their foreheads.Though Chloe and Claire shared the same room, they had their own beds which were on the opposite sides of the room.Colton approached Mia where She stood and circled his arms possessively around her from behind.
Epilogue!Four years later!"Mommy, when is Daddy coming back? I miss him so much." Chloe whined as Mia braided her hair. The little girl was seated on the stool in her cute vanity area."Yes, Mommy. I miss Daddy too. I want to watch cartoons with him and I want him to tuck me to bed." Claire, who was seated on the edge of her princess-sized bed, with half of her attention on the iPad in her hand, spoke.Mia playfully rolled her eyes at her children's clinginess. "But you both talked to Daddy about an hour ago when I came back from work," She said, doing the finishing touches of Chloe's hair.Colton called earlier to let Mia know that something came up at work so h
The Wedding Day! Colton Royal's POV I haven't stopped smiling since I woke up this morning. This is a day I've been looking forward to and I'm glad it's finally here. I honestly can't wait for the moment the love of my life and I will be pronounced Man and Wife. "I promised myself that I'm not going to cry today. But it's just so hard to keep my word." I heard my mother say as she walked into the room I was, bringing me out of my thoughts. I smiled, turning my full attention to the woman who I adore so much. "Hi mom, you look so beautiful." I kissed her cheek, then hugged her. She was all dressed up for the wedding which should be starting in a couple of minutes.
The whole family bonded for a couple of minutes and after a while, Colton excused himself, taking Mia with him."I have something to show you.""You promised no more gifts until our wedding night," Mia mumbled with her hand around his waist.Colton chuckled, placing a kiss on the side of her forehead. "I don't know if it's a gift but here you go." They came to a stop in front of a door and then he encouraged her to open up.She hesitated for a while, looking at him suspiciously, but she eventually opened up."Surpriseeeeeeee!" The very familiar voices came through. Mia almost teared up as she stepped into the room filled with her fam
5 Months Later!Even though it was Mia's wedding, Colton made sure she never stressed about anything.Well, it wasn't like she could do much from New York anyways. Even though Colton had people take care of all of the preparations, he made sure Mia was consulted before any decision was made. He wanted to give her her dream wedding so her approval mattered in every damn detail."They are so well behaved." Victoria smiled proudly, looking down at Chole who was in her arms, and at Claire who was in Mia's arms. They fell asleep a couple of minutes ago.She and Mia were seated beside each other on the private jet. While her husband and Colton were seated not too far away, discussing.
While Mia and the twins were getting cleaned up, Colton went out to give his parents the good news. He had called his Mom before he took Mia to the hospital around 8 pm and despite the fact that it was way past midnight, they were still here.His brother Caleb, and Ashley were also here. They all rose to their feet when Colton approached them."How's Mia and my Grandbabies?" Vicky asked, the worry was evident in her voice and face.Colton smiled. "Mia is fine. Your granddaughters are fine too."Vicky started tearing up. "Granddaughters?"Colton nodded."Oh my God, Cong
The birth of the Royal Babies!No matter how much Colton Royal prepared himself for this day and what to expect, he came to realize that no amount of preparation was enough for what he was actually experiencingHe thought Mia's accident which happened months ago was the scariest day of his life. But today's happenings replaced that thought. He felt so useless standing by his woman, doing nothing but holding her hand, encouraging her to push, and showering kisses all over her sweaty face.Words couldn't describe how pained Colton was to see the love of his life in pain. He wished there was a way he could share in her pain.Despite how heavy Colton's eyes were with tears, he was determined not to let them fall because he wan
The soon-to-be parents spent all of Saturday morning making up for the times that they were apart. Colt surprised Mia with breakfast in bed, they cuddled, made love, made conversations, had a video call with the decorator in charge of their new home which was almost ready by the way and they took an hour nap before their lunch date.Even though Colton owned a couple of restaurants across the states, he loved to explore other restaurants too and they were always happy to have him over.Colt and Mia occupied the VIP section of the five-star restaurant. They wined, dined, and made conversations.Since Theodore insisted that Colton and Mia should be at his place by 4, the two love birds left the restaurant at some minutes to 4 pm. In about 15 minutes, they arri
Mia was beyond overwhelmed where she was seated. She felt nothing but guilt and gratitude. Guilt because she allowed her mood swings to tamper with her relationship with Colt and gratitude because despite how bitchy she had been to him, he was still fighting for her against the woman who made her feel less of herself.Colton went back to where he was previously seated. "Look Babe, you mean the world to me than any fucking job or partnership. If you had told me you weren't comfortable with me and Debbie working together, I would have disregarded the deal.""I was told Joel was the one coming down to New York to finalize everything but it turned out to be Debbie, his wife. We had a business dinner after which I escorted her to the car. She was going to kiss me on the cheek but I wasn't looking and it landed on my lips. But
