"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
Putting the roses back on the center table, Mia turned her attention to the suitcase. She got comfortable on her rug and opened the luggage. Mia Edwards came face to face with a complete outfit set. A very gorgeous dress, matching pair of shoes, purse, and jewelry. She took each item and admired them one by one. Both the dress and the shoe were her size. Mia's hands were shaking when she held onto the jewelry. They were so precious and she could only imagine how much they cost.Mia was wondering what the outfit was for when she saw a folded paper inside the luggage. She reached for it, opened it, and went through its content."I know we didn't start off on the right track, I know you're still mad at me because I want us to get married. Despite everything that's happening, I want us to get along and make the best out of our relationship. The
Knowing she would probably not get any work done after noon, Mia tried to put her morning time into good use. After taking a bath and having her breakfast, She reached for her laptop and got some work done until about 1 pm when Hailey appeared with her niece, Adrienne, whom Mia was going to babysit."Hi, boo." Hailey pulled Mia into a hug the moment she opened the door."Hi, sweets." Mia returned the hug. Pulling away, She greeted Hailey's niece."Hi, love." She picked up Adrienne. "You've grown so big, Remember me?" She asked the four-year-old who nodded with a small smile on her face."Of course she does. There's no one related to me that doesn't know my best friend.
The plan was that Mia was going to babysit Adrienne but when Hailey heard that Colton was going to come over later, Hailey decided to take the little girl with her. She wanted Mia and Colton to have some privacy while they discussed their future.Colton eventually showed up at 4 pm. He was right on time. Mia opened the door for him, they both exchanged polite greetings, then She ushered him in.Locking the door behind her, Mia was thinking of how she was going to start the conversation with Colton. She was the one who invited him over so the burden was on her.Turning around, she bumped into a hard well. Well, not a wall per se, She bumped into Colton. She had no idea he was standing behind her as she locked the door.
Mia was having her morning coffee in her office when Hailey's call came through."Morning babe!" Hailey said."Morning sweets. You sound really excited today.""Do I? Anyways, how was your date with Colton yesterday? I had wanted to call last night but I didn't want to disturb you.""Hailey!" Mia groaned. "It wasn't a date! We just discussed.""When did he take his leave?" Hailey asked suspiciously."About 10 pm I think," Mia said. She didn't take note of the exact time that Colton left. But she knew that after he left, she took a shower, and by the time she got into bed to set he
Colton spent his morning in the conference room having meetings with representatives of various departments in the company. The meetings ended at noon after which he proceeded to his office. Stepping in, he came face to face with his mother. She was seated on the couch in the visiting area and had her attention on her phone. Colton slightly rolled his eyes. If only he knew his mother was waiting for him, he would have gone somewhere else instead of coming back to the office. Nonetheless, he shut the door behind him and proceeded to his desk area. ..... Seeing that her Son was around, Victoria kept her phone aside, then rose to her feet. She app
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
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
