Rico. I wake up early dawn, only to find her missing beside me. She slept a while ago. I quickly get up and pull up some clothes before checking the bathroom. I don't think with the security around here, someone will infiltrate our room and kidnap her. No one is awake yet, so I search the corridors and around the house. When I step into the kitchen, the sight I meet renders me speechless. The girl is sitting beside the fridge with an ice cream plate in her hands. To make it worse, she is fast asleep and her neck is bent in an uncomfortable position. Isn't that stuff cold and the tiled floor too? "Oh! you found her" A voice says behind me and I turn to see one of the guys from yesterday. He is familiar but I can't recall who he is. I furrow my brow deep in thought only to trigger a headache. Blinking severally, I turn to the sleeping girl and gently pick her up. Fuck, she weighs nothing. "Does she do this every day?" I ask the guy and he nods following me to the dining room. "Y
Mia. Kay promised after the first three months, I would start behaving normally but no. I just ate six fucking pancakes and I am about to cry about it. At this point, I think the only thing keeping me sane is work. This is so embarrassing. More reason to believe the kid inside me is a girl. She is causing so much trouble already. Neera arrives with my ringing phone and I thank heavens for saving me from the embarrassment. It's a call from my secretary. This reminds me I have a meeting at ten. "Yes?" I put the phone on speaker and place it on the table. "Boss, the representatives from Bentley will be here in an hour. I am calling to remind you that" her urgent voice comes through. "Thank you" I look at my watch and hastily get up from Rico's arms. As a growing company, I have been receiving offers from different brands and since our client's demands are variable, I am left with no choice but to sign partnerships with different brands. My initial plan was to keep 100% of my compa
Rico I watch her leave and walk back to the living room where everyone else is waiting. "Tell me everything I want to know. From the day I was born to this day," I face the people sitting around me and grab a cancer stick from the table. No one stops me this time, and I am glad because I won't have to be rude to anyone if they try to. My emotions are all over the place right now, and smoking is the only thing I know will ease the tension. Fuck, I am hurting that girl, and It's clear she is just putting on a brave face in front of me. Among the people in the room are my mother, Carl, and his wife, and the three guys that claim to be my friends. "These are yours" Marcus passes me a phone and a wallet. The ID in the wallet reads Ricardo Moreno. What a dumb name. There is also a picture of Mia. The girl in the picture is smiling brightly as her eyes sparkle in delight. I find her smile contagious. I grab the phone from the table and after switching it on, I have no idea what the pa
Mia. "You don't look happy, "Matt says as soon as I hang up and I sigh sitting up in my bed. "Are you happy, Matt?" I ask back and he seems perplexed by my question. Matt glances at my stomach and deeply sighs before running his fingers through his hair. " I Just wish things were different" He mutters and I nod walking to my closet. "Me too" I came home hours ago and he decided to keep me company. Though I was on the verge of falling asleep before Rico's call.It's been a while since I was here and I just thought it would be a good idea if I gave Rico some alone time. I know he feels obliged to be with me because I am pregnant and I don't want that. I want him to want me and not because he feels guilty for not being there for me and his baby.I didn't expect him to call. And of all the excuses I could give, did I have to say I wanted to see Mum? I haven't seen her for a while and I don't plan to any time soon. I am scared that she will act bitchy again and I will be tempted to hur
Mia. Wow, today seems different. At least I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with crazy cravings. That shit does embarrass me a lot. What didn't change was my waking up time. It's 10 a.m. and I still feel drowsy. I drag myself to the bathroom only to find Rico taking a shower. He must have been working out. He does that a lot . After my morning routine, I get undressed and slide the bathroom door open. It's not the first time we have taken a shower together but today seems different. "You are awake" Rico turns around and pulls me to him by my waist. My sensitive body instantly reacts to his soft touch and my mind starts wandering. We have been apart for a long time and standing naked in his arms makes me feel so horny."Yes, how are you?" My voice quivers as I drape my arms around his neck. "I am fine, baby. Been waiting for you" He whispers, and as if he just read my mind, Rico delicately presses his lips on mine and gently, make love to me to my satisfaction. I am bec
Mia. [Warning: There is mention of blood and torture in this chapter]"Thank you," I mumble, getting out of the car when Rico opens my door. Ask me how he got here. Well, I don't know because I left him at home. Did Fabio alert him when I was being followed?"Why didn't you tell me you were going after him? " Rico grumbles, gently holding my shoulders to stop me from walking."Don't even think about grounding me again, Rico. In case you didn't notice, my stomach is getting bigger every passing day, and I can't give birth when these people are still roaming around" I angrily yell jerking away from him. Fuck, I hope he is not planning on locking me in his room again."Who said I was going to ground you, Mia? I want to know where you are and that you are safe" He yells back and I dangerously glare at him."Oh! The way you have been doing it for the last three months? " I lowly chuckle walking away."Is that why you have been avoiding me? " I don't answer his question. Rico angrily hits
Rico. [Warning: Mention of blood, torture, and death]My eyes remain on the girl in my arms. She silently watches as Fabio beheads the man in the torture chair without batting an eye or showing remorse, or fear. I don't remember what she is fighting against but I can tell it's something dangerous. If they erased my memory before I could do anything, they sure know how to play. That must be the reason she always has heavy security around her.Mia is not an easy target either. Fuck, she is merciless. "Good job, Fabio. Now we only need to get Maxim and be done with" Mia smiles and Fabio does the same putting away the machine. "What do we do with her? " he points at the unconscious woman on the floor. I can't believe her mother was willing to kill her to protect her lover. "We can't leave loose ends, Fabio. We both know she will come back if we let her go, and we can't start from zero again" She whispers kicking the woman. "It's all about survival, so we will do what we have to""Shou
Mia. Waking up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty, I gently slide from Rico's arms, careful enough not to wake him. Thankfully, I don't crave ice cream anymore. That stuff was cold, especially in the middle of the night. I press a lingering kiss on Rico's forehead and smile at his cute sleeping face. I would want to wake up at this face for the rest of my life. Was he seriously proposing yesterday? Getting married at eighteen is crazy and in case he proposed to me right now, I would wait until I am at least twenty to marry him. And I am not popping any more babies for him until I am married. However, Rico is a gentle lover and I would hate being away from him or letting anyone else have him. Even when I wasn't pregnant, he has never treated me roughly in bed and I still wonder how he does it with all the hard muscles on his body. Has he been holding himself for my sake? Since there are always men around the house, I walk to the closet to dress appropriately before heading
