Thankyou for reading.
Mia.Distress. Extreme suffocating pain keeps pulling at my heart.I should have never indulged in matters of the heart without knowing how to handle them.I didn't even give myself time to grieve over my father. I depended too much on Rico, and he left.I was ready for him.I thought he was into me but no. I fell for the wrong guy.The man simply left me on his bed, helpless and crying, and just disappeared. Today marks the third day, and I haven't seen or heard from him.I lack the strength to call Rico. Carl reaches out though. He tries to make me understand that he is just confused and he will be back.Carl said that they don't know where he is either, and everyone is trying their best to find him.I believe if the man cared even a little bit for me, he won't be doing this. Rico won't be comfortable hurting me without a valid reason. I finally close my laptop with a tired sigh. I chose to bury myself in work, it was the only way I could think of to lessen the pain. If I can't ha
Mia.Hesitantly, I alight from Carl's car and cautiously look around me. I am not confident with my decision.What am I going to say when I enter that house?"Don't leave without me please " I tell Carl and he nods in affirmation. He is my ride here and in case his brother kicks me out, I will need a lift back home.With slow unsure steps, I trudge toward the cabin clutching at my jacket and pulling it together to my freezing body. It's crazy how cold it is out here.The breeze is harsh on my bare thighs, causing goosebumps to appear and I blame Carl for not giving me a heads-up. I should have dressed warmly. I slowly push the front door and I'm thankful it's not closed. Where could he be?My question is answered when the slow rap music leads me to the balcony. The man himself is sprawled on the sofa, eyes closed, and with this horrid weather, Rico doesn't have a shirt on.I can't get over his body.I was so ready for him the other day but he chose not to touch me. I can't wake him u
Mia."Are you okay, did I hurt you?" he whispers, gently running his thumb on my flushed cheek. His eyes are so tender and the way they stare down at me, makes my heart swell with immense joy.I can't believe I just did it and it was amazing."No" I shake my head leaning into his touch.Fuck! I love him so much. I want this man to myself all days of my life. "Thank you for trusting me, baby. I..I...i" he quickly looks away when he couldn't complete his sentence and I know why."You don't have to tell me anything" I whisper pulling his head to my lips. "It doesn't matter to me, Rico. You are all I want, with your every flaw and the darkness that surrounds you""But you deserve so much better sweetheart, you deserve the world" "Then be my world. I don't want to exist in a place you aren't. " I sincerely murmur and it silences him. For the first time since I met rico, his eyes hold a different emotion other than the obvious ones.Determination.After taking a warm shower with his help,
Rico.Her eyes were so pure, they held no judgment or repulsion toward me.Mia still looks at me the same way, and I feel like a jerk for even making her cry.When my brother told me she was in love with me, I didn't believe him until I found her in my kitchen. The sadness and the hurt in her eyes made me curse myself countless times for being so dumb.How could I be so blind?How could I make her pay for something she did not do? Carl opened my eyes. He said there are many eyes out there directed at her and if I'm not careful, I will easily lose her. It's true.Mia is a treasure and I won't ask what she sees in me anymore. Instead, I will treat her like the Queen she is.I'm ready to give her my all, and that starts today when I ask her out. She trusts me.If she could let me touch her. Mia has faith in me, and it's time I step up and start viewing the world from a different angle. At least there is still some good in it and I will hold on to that one good thing. If Kay pushed thro
Mia."Mia" Kay shouts immediately we step inside and I let go of Rico's hand to embrace her.Looks like I'm not the only one Rico kept on their toes. His mother is hunched in her seat looking out of place.I wish she never heard what he said.Rico goes straight to his mother and kneels in front of her. The woman immediately breaks into tears and places her son's head on her lap, and starts rubbing his head and shoulders."Come on, let's give them time" Kay whispers and I follow her out of the room. Yesterday after I had the strange call, I had it tracked but unfortunately, my IT team couldn't locate it. Even Alessio who I trust to be the best tracker didn't find the location of the caller. This only means the person on the other end is either smart or dangerous. I will wait for her to call again because it doesn't go through either."Boss, we spotted Ryans's car at the company "Fabio mumbles through the phone and I quickly stand up. Does that man think because I let go of the arena,
MiaMy meeting with Fabio has been rescheduled to later because of my sleepy head.I can't blame Rico though, I was extremely exhausted and I needed that rest.I appreciate his care more than anything. So, against my will, my first guest had to be Massimo, and I'm not ecstatic about meeting him.He's not a threat, I know that, but I don't trust his intentions either. My relationship with Rico is still young and we can't afford any kind of misunderstanding right now. Rico insisted on accompanying me, and immediately after we arrived, he opted for a tour around first. Speaking of Massimo, the man enters, pride oozing from every step he takes.Same as the first time I saw him, he is in a dark suit that is Ironed to perfection.His dark hair is sleeked backward on the sides and the middle is left messy.His eyes are on me. He has a calm and collected look like he is here for business."Massimo" I acknowledge pointing to the seat in front of me when he reaches my desk. "Reina," the man
Rico.The way she stares down at me is beautiful. The green eyes are so tender that it goes straight to my heart.I knew that idiot would somehow appear. The way he eyed Mia at the cemetery, especially when she teased him. I noticed how he dryly swallowed the moment she lifted her dress.He fucking had to make a damn move.I know I should remain positive but it's hard when you have a woman like this one on your lap. She is a smart, independent, and beautiful young woman and such people are not so many out there.Mia will always attract men of high caliber because every male in business wants a woman like her on their side.I should step up my game if I want to keep her.I need to make sure that all she sees is me. She has dignity and that assures me of her loyalty. But I can't relax or keep making silly mistakes like I have been doing."Mind telling me how you plan to end this fucker?" From the first day I saw that idiot, I knew there was more to him. Particularly with how he kept givi
Mia The fury inside me is bubbling like a raging volcano. "I can't believe he got away. I was supposed to end this today," If I got godfather, I would have gladly dropped my guns. I know he took those files, and he could have led me to the person he is working for. But everything is different now. In fact, I just made it worse. I killed his beloved wife and I know he will retaliate. This means Rico will be in danger. Fuck! he is the only person I care about and my enemies will go after him to hurt me. Someone ratted our plan out. There is no way he could have escaped the countless snipers surrounding the building. This only means he discreetly left before my men got there. Why leave Martha behind though? I still have a rat in my midst. Maybe it's time I do a loyalty test for every fucker I'm paying. They can't keep fucking me up. I violently take my jacket and weapons off and aimlessly throw them around my office."Easy boss, at least we got his wife," One of the guys around say
