Ending the conversation with a worried mood, Hailey dialed Mia's number. It went straight to voicemail. She dialed the number again and it gave the same response.
Sighing, Hailey scrolled through her contact list in search of Tessie's number. She dialed it immediately.
"Pick up the phone, Tess." She whispered after the fourth ring as she walked up and down her living room.
After what felt like forever, Tessie answered. "Hi. Tessie. Is Mia with you or do you by any chance know where the hell she is?" She asked with a hand on her forehead.
"Yeah, She's with me," Tessie answered.
Hailey heaved a sigh of relief.
"Good evening, I'm Colton. Sorry for showing up at this late hour. I'm here to see Mia.""So you're the one who has been giving my baby sister a hard time?" Tessie folded her arms with an amused look. She had no idea how he got her address but after all that had happened, she was glad he was here to see Mia. Him showing up tonight meant a lot, giving Tessie more reasons why she should approve him for her sister.""It's not what you think, Tessie. I didn't know that crazy bitch would go to her and say all sorts of things. I'm going to confront Natasha about it and I promise that such wouldn't repeat itself.""How's Mia? Is she okay?" He asked, sincerely concerned, which earned a small smile from Tessie.A
"You will see when we get there." With a small smile on Colt's face, he leaned over and placed a kiss on her nose. Then he started the car engine, driving towards the place he had in mind.Mia decided to trust him and not ask any more questions. Just like Tessie had advised, She decided to go with the flow and enjoy herself with Colton.Colt started a conversation a couple of minutes later "Your sister is amazing,""I know. I'm really grateful for her presence in my life. Since we lost our mom, she literally took up that role and had been taking care of me and my other siblings. I try to be there for her too because I know it's not really easy being there for us all.""I'm so sorry about your Mom." Colton took
"Dinner was delicious, Thank you!" Mia said as soon as Colton started the car."You're welcome. I was able to get Simeon to prepare something for us.""That was so thoughtful of you. I didn't have an appetite the whole day. Plus it was my favorite and was really delicious."Colton smiled. "Same here, I was too busy with work to think of food. I only had cups of coffee. I'll let Simeon know that you enjoyed his meal.""I would have recruited him to come to be our chef but my Mom will not let go of him."Mia chuckled. "I'm not surprised. No one will want to let go of an amazing chef.""I'
Mia was the first person to wake up. She opened her eyes to Colton's arm wrapped around her waist. She smiled. She also had her arm wrapped around his torso.She spent the first few minutes staring at his sleeping face and closely admiring his upper body. He was nothing short of perfection. He got the looks, the good and charming behavior, a great personality, the money, and the fame (not that she cared about that). He was indeed everything a girl could ever wish for.Mia showered his handsome face with a couple of kisses, caressed his cheek and hair for a while, then she decided to come back to reality, which was, getting ready for work.She gently released his arm from her and got down from the bed quietly. Once she got to the bathroom, She brushed her te
"Expecting someone?" Mia asked, bringing the mug of coffee to her lips."No." He replied."Excuse me." He rose to his feet and went to answer the door.Opening the door, he came face to face with the one and only Ashley Royal."Surprise!" She hugged the hell out of him.Even though he was confused as to what his younger sister was doing at his place at this early hour, Colton still returned her hug."It's a surprise indeed," Colt mumbled as they pulled away from the hug.Ashley grinned. "Actually, I have a flight to catch i
Colton made good use of his time during his ride to the McGregor's mansion. He connected his phone to the speaker in the car and made some important phone calls as he drove. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Natasha's parents' home. Coming down from the car, he came face to face with the butler who greeted him. "Hi. Is Natasha at home?" He asked the man in his early forties. "Yes Sir!" "What about Uncle Troy and Aunt Mary?" He asked after Natasha's parents. There was no better way of putting Natty in her place than doing it in front of her parents. "Master is in the study room. Mrs. McGregor should be somewhere in the house." The butler resp
"What happened?" Mary asked with confusion all over her face as she stepped into the unfriendly atmosphere of the study room."You might as well ask your daughter her reason for behaving mannerless!""Come on, Dad. Who's side are you on?" Natasha rolled her eyes."Of course I will never support you! Who gave you the right to approach Colton's woman and start threatening her?""You threatened the mother of his child?" Mary said in disbelief."Don't tell me you too actually believe that there's some bullshit baby in her belly? She's nothing but a pure gold digger! I don't know why you all aren't seeing that."
The moment Mia got settled behind her desk, She buried herself with work and only took a break during lunch.Remembering, she owed Hailey an apology, she decided to call her."I thought you would never call." Hailey's voice came through."I'm sorry, babe.""Sorry for letting you down, sorry for chickening out, and thank you for giving Colton Tessie's address.""Spill!" Hailey's eager voice came through.Mia blushed. "Spill what?""Oh please, you wouldn't be thanking me for giving Colton Tessie's address if nothing i
