Pulling up in his penthouse's parking lot, Colton unbuckled his seatbelt and reached for his phone. He dialed Chad.
Chad picked up almost immediately. "Good evening, Boss. I was just about to call you."
Colt sighed, "Don't tell me my parents reached out to you already."
"Yes, they did. Your Father requested my presence. I'm about to leave my home.
Derik and Vicky knew Chad worked for their son so it was only reasonable for them to instruct him to come over to shed light on the matter.
Colton ran a hand through his hair, regretting that he mentioned Chad's name to his parents.
"Okay. The
Coming out of the walk-in closet, all dressed up for bed, Derik saw his wife, Victoria, sitting at the edge of their bed, deep in thought.He sighed, then went to sit beside her. She had not been herself since Colton broke the news to them."Hey!" He whispered, placing his hand on hers and giving it a light squeeze.Victoria looked her husband in the eye. "Where have I gone wrong?""What do you mean?" He asked."Colton. I think I saw a different side of him today.""He has always been obedient, he never fails to make us proud, he respects us as his parents, he respects our opinions, and e
Opening the door, Colton came face to face with his younger brother, Caleb. He sighed. "Got some time to spare? I want to talk to you" Caleb said, looking serious which was sort of a surprise. Caleb was usually not a very serious person. "Five minutes," Colt mumbled, going back into the office and taking a seat on the couch. "What the hell is going on, Colt?" He asked, refusing to sit. "Who the hell is Mia and when did you guys create a baby?" Caleb thought he knew everything about his elder brother but he was wrong. "I don't want to talk about it," Colt said. "You said the same thing yesterday. You need to grow up, Colt. Life do
Stepping into her office, Mia came face to face with the one and only Victoria Royal who was comfortably seated on the visitor's chair. She felt a little difference with regards to the atmosphere and she was sure it was due to Victoria's presence. Mia's office was of normal size, warm, neat, and decorated with just a few pieces of furniture. Usually, visitors had no business in her office if she wasn't present but they made an exception for Vicky. "Thank Goodness you're finally here. I didn't know how much longer I could wait for you." Vicky's voice came through. Mia couldn't help but think about how a person's voice could emanate such power even though she spoke so calmly. Vicky was indeed a royal. Taking a good look at her, Mia noticed that Victoria
Paying the taxi driver, She helped herself down from the car. Because of how pissed Mia was, She had absolutely no time to admire her surroundings. She walked into the luxurious building and approached the receptionist."Good afternoon. I'm here to see Colton Royal.""Good afternoon, Ma'am. Your name, please?" The blondie said politely."Mia Edwards." She replied immediately.After typing a couple of things on her computer, She replied. "I'm sorry ma'am, your name is not among the list of people he has an appointment with today so you can't see him."Mia sighed internally. "This is urgent. Please can you call him and let him know Mia Edwards is
Colton's eyes were trained on the laptop before him. He was listening attentively to what his partners on the other end were saying. But his attention was divided when he heard someone badge into his office. He was forced to look up and seeing who it was, he froze for a second where he was seated.Seeing that she was walking towards him with nothing but anger on her face, he exited the live meeting and rose to his feet.Before Colton could say anything, he felt a hand land across his face. His left cheek to be precise. She hit him really hard. "How dare you?" She said with nothing but venom in her voice.Caleb who witnessed everything stood still in shock. Realizing they were probably having a misunderstanding just like every other couple, he decided to give them some privacy.
Watching her slam the door behind her, Colton heaved a long sigh then went back to the chair behind his desk. Taking his seat, he buried his face in his palm for a couple of minutes.Eventually letting go, he raised his head, picked up his phone on the table, and dialed his mom. He hadn't heard from her since Sunday. He honestly wanted to reach out and put an end to the lies that had been told before today but he had been very busy with work since Monday."Hi, mom." He said to the other end."That was fast! I guess your wife-to-be already told you all that happened.""But Mom, why did you say and do all of that behind my back? I had it in mind to come over to the mansion and talk to you and D
Ending the call with Mia, Colton returned his attention to his laptop. He worked for two hours more, made some calls which lasted for about thirty minutes, and then started getting ready to go see Mia.It wasn't hard locating her home. He got there a couple of minutes past 6 pm. Letting out a sigh, Colton unbuckled his seatbelt. On his ride to Mia's place, he had thought of how he was going to start the conversation when he eventually came face to face with her. He knew for a fact that she was going to freak out. Freaking out wasn't the issue. He was concerned about her not accepting his offer. So he had been thinking of what to do, to make sure that she was going to say Yes.Just as his mother told him, Colton woke up to his Grandfather's call this morning. The old man was very excited over the phone. Grandma Jane was also wit
Driving away from Mia's home, Colton headed straight to Theodore's place. They both settled on the stool at Theo's bar area. He told Theo everything that occurred over a bottle of whiskey."She seems feisty. Do you think she will give in to the marriage?" Theo asked."I hope she does. She's my only hope. I know it's easier to get someone else, pay her to pretend to be Mia and all of that but I don't want to be with anyone that's not Mia Edwards.""I believe me and her have some sort of chemistry between us but she's way too stubborn to admit it. She's such a handful. I'm going to need plenty of strength to deal with her daily troubles.""I trust instinct bro. If she agrees to be with you, it's definitely
