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
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
