Seeing that it was almost closing hour, Mia started rounding up with work. Her attention was divided when her phone buzzed on the table beside her. A smile crept to her lips when she came face to face with the caller ID.
"Miss me?" She said to the other side the moment she answered the call.
"If I have my way, I would bribe you to come work for me."
"Oh really? I don't remember anyone offering me a job opportunity. Perhaps I might consider it if the benefits are more than my present job."
"For real?" Colton asked hopefully,
"Maybe!" Mia smiled.
"Don't tease me, Mia. I'
Picking up her handbag from the couch, Mia proceeded to the master bedroom. She couldn't help but smile as she took in her surroundings. The people in charge of the renovations did a great job. She could hardly recognize the room but she loved all of the changes.The last time she was here, the room looked more masculine but with the renovations done, it gave more of a couples room vibe."I've got the most caring man." Mia said with a small smile on her face the moment she sighted a gift bag on the bed."Placing her handbag on the sofa, Mia made her way to the bed. She got comfortable on the bed and took out what was in the small gift bag. It turned out to be a pair of matching bracelets. It had some words engraved on them. She couldn't tell what it was because it was
While Colt had his bath, Mia went to the bar area in search of wine. She settled for a bottle of red wine and placed it in the ice bucket to get chilled.Soon enough, Colton appeared in some random sweatpants and a fitted T-shirt. Mia served the food while Colton poured them some wine. They dug in and made conversations in between the delicious meal."I know today was a crazy day for the two of us but may I know how you feel?" Mia said.Colton finished chewing before he spoke. "There's no better way ending today than being with the person I love most in the world." He placed his hand on top of Mia's own that was on the table."I'm so happy that you've moved in with me. I wasn't able to sleep last n
Four weeks later!"I'm going to strangle Sammie with my bare hands when I see her," Colton mumbled, connecting the glass of whiskey to his lips.Theodore laughed. "Calm down dude, you will see your Girl soon." He assured.Placing the glass cup on the table in between them, he spoke. "I hate myself for imposing that they have a Girls day out or night out. But really, there's nothing bad in wanting Mia to spend some quality time with her friends but your strong-headed woman had the nerve to turn the night out to a weekend vacation."Theodore chuckled. "Are you this vexed because you've been sex-deprived for three days? Hey, I miss my woman too!!!" Theo said while Colton rolled his eyes.
Soon enough, they announced the arrival of the plane Theo and Colt were waiting on so they went to the arrival point to welcome their women.The two best friends had to wait for a couple of minutes before Mia, Sammie and Hailey showed up. They were with nothing but their handbags. The people carrying their luggage were walking behind them with trolleys.Colton's eyes didn't leave Mia's body the moment his eyes landed on her. With a smile on his face, he watched as She approached him."Hi, baby!" Mia smiled when she got to where he was. Not caring that they were in public or the fact that there could be paparazzi around that would probably take pictures of them, Colton engulfed Mia into a very possessive hug. She chuckled as she returned the hug.
After talking to Hailey and Enoch for a while and saying their final goodbyes, they all got into their various cars and took their leave.This time around, Mia was seated in the front passenger seat. "I feel so blessed to be surrounded by amazing people." She smiled. "I can't be happier that Enoch is now friends with you and Theo. Dinner was great. It was fun dining and wining with you all. I realized we made an amazing group. I can't remember the last time I laughed this much."Colton nodded with a smile on his face. "Enoch seems really cool so it only made sense that Theo and I got along with him. I also agree that dinner was fun.""So, how have you been? I really missed you." Mia whispered. Since Colton had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on
Once inside the walk-in closet, Colton Royal went straight to where the safe was. He punched in the password and took out the jewelry box.Closing the safe, he opened the box and exhaled when he came face to face with what was in it. He caressed the item with a finger and then, he closed it.Colton ran a hand through his hair, took two deep breaths before going back to the bedroom with his hands at his back.Mia didn't move an inch away from where he left her. She had her arms folded with a small smile on her face. She watched as Colton approached her with his hands at his back."You seem nervous? Everything okay?" She asked, the small smile slowly leaving her lips.
Mia and Colton returned to the room, tired and extremely exhausted when it was almost 2 am. They cuddled with each other and fell asleep almost immediately.At about 5:45 am, Colton stirred in his sleep. He was forced to open his eyes when he didn't feel Mia's arms or body close to him.Opening his eyes, he saw that she was nowhere to be found beside him. Sitting up, he took a glance at the room. He didn't see her in sight but he saw the light's reflection from the bathroom.As if on cue, a disturbing noise came through which made him get down from the bed and proceed to the bathroom. It was the sound of someone puking."Fuck!" Colton cursed the moment he tried to open the door and saw that it was
Two weeks later.Mia Edwards suddenly found herself awake at 3 am. Looking beside her, She saw that Colton was still pretty much fast asleep. She smiled and cuddled closer to him.Mia started to slowly draw tiny circles on his bare chest with her fingers, and at the same, placing kisses over his face.Colton felt all that Mia was doing to him in his sleep. He couldn't help with the smile that crept to his lips."Mia" He whispered with his husky voice. It was obvious that he was tired. He still had his eyes closed."Yes baby," she answered, then kissed him on the lips. Mia couldn't help but brush his cheeks with the tip of her fingers. She w
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
