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
"You're dating someone else?" Jack asked. Mia didn't reply, not knowing what to say. "What is his name? Is he good to you?" After a few seconds of silence, Mia spoke. "Yeah, he's good to me. His name is Colton." She replied, mentally slapping herself. "When next are you going to see him?" Jack asked. "What?" Mia asked, not sure as to what her father was driving at. "When next will you be with Colton so I can talk to him. I'm not in New York, you wouldn't let me come down there either so this is the best I can do. Have a man-to-man conversation with him over the phone."
"Good Morning, Ma." They both greeted a confused-looking Mia."Good Morning. How may I help you?" She whispered."We are to deliver these items to you." The dark-haired lady said with a smile."But I didn't order for anything," Mia said immediately."They are all from Mr. Royal, Ma'am." The guy said."He sent you all here to disturb my precious sleep after I told him to stay the hell away from me?" Mia scoffed in disbelief. "I don't want them, tell him he can go to hell with all that he owns." Mia was about to shut the door but the lady in suit stopped her."Please ma'am. He's going to
