Of course he wasn't, it was just her eyes playing tricks on her. Surely she would have known by now if he was, after all they were together most of the time. With a shake of her head she stood up and padded barefooted to the bathroom. After using the bathroom she returned back and sank down on her bed to face him. She suddenly did not feel like going back to bed. It was still early for her to be awake but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep without him. "Where did you go Mia?". There, he finally asked her the question. She knew that it would come but why now when she was yet to think of a suitable answer for him?. When she looked at him and her eyes met his, she froze and could not say anything. "Answer the fucking question, Mia"Uh oh, his voice was cold and sharp and he called her by her name. She was definitely in trouble. She moved up on the bed until she was at the middle Mia looked away from him, her hands twisting the bed cover nervously. Her head
Two days after Adrian gave her the freedom to leave her room and walk around the house including going to the office with him, Mia found the opportunity to go to his underground base with him. She had just stepped out of her room to go for a walk around the house to clear her head and think of a way out of her predicament when she met Adrian coming out of his room with Lucas. Both of them were dressed in black slacks and black button up shirts and there was a dangerous air around them. It was already late since Adrian worked an extra hour at work so she knew that they could only be going to one place dressed like that. A meeting with his mafia's patterns or his underground base. "Where are you going?". She asked him."You stay at home sweetheart, I'll be back soon". He leaned down to drop a kiss on her lips, surprising her. Since she got back he only touched her when he wanted to cuddle with her on the bed. Mia pressed her lips firmly against his and grabbed on the colla
"He has refused to say anything. The rest of them got away and the second one we caught put a bullet in his head". " How do we know who sent him if he's refusing to say anything? Maybe you have not been doing a good job of torturing the information out of him, Owen". Lucas said as he dropped into the chair close to Adrian's. " I've been doing my job boss but this one is a tough nut to crack". Owen said, his eyes drifting from Lucas to Adrian. "We want answers not complaints. Many could have died". Nicole said from where he was standing behind Adrian. " You think I don't know?". Owen frowned at Nicole " maybe you should take over then we'll see how much time you can use to prey out the necessary information". Just as Nicole was about to make a comeback which Adrian knew would lead to the two men arguing, he raised his hand to stop them. "He had the tattoo of FF so we already know he's from the new organization. What I want to know is who his boss is and their loca
"Boss, I think you need to check this out". Adrian was about to drop his phone when a new message popped in with a video attached to it. He clicked on it and within some seconds of watching it, his eye flicked to the woman that was lying on his sofa. "Mia". He called. "Hmm". She answered without sitting up. "Help me take this file and deliver it to the HR office". He tapped the files on his desk with his finger. Mia sat up quickly and gave him a strange look, "you are not commanding me to do it?". Adrian scowled at her words, " take this file and deliver it to the HR office". He rephrased his words. One minute they were in harmony and then the next, she was giving biting remarks to infuriate him. Mia stood up and approached his desk, "now this is the Mr Osiander I know" The scowl deepened, "shut up and do what I asked"."You are not asking, you are commanding". She gathered the files in her hands. " Where is the office?". "On the floor directly below ours"
On the twenty first floor of the Brown entertainment company. Rose was sitting on her office chair with a deep frown etched on her face as she signed and stamped documents after documents. Since she took over the company from her father six months ago, she had been trying to mold the company to her own way. It had been working so far but it wasn't as easy as she thought. It required her to work over time and sometimes she ended up sleeping in the office. Thanks to God that her father was kind enough to build a small bedroom inside her office. She would have given up after a week of working but that was not like her. She has always loved being on top and in power. If she had given up, her father would have immediately passed the company over to her cousin sister who was the vice president. She and her cousin sister have always been at loggerheads from their childhood days. She would die before she allowed her cousin's sister to take over what is rightfully hers. She knew
"No" Mia, who was about to walk out of the company, paused and whirled around to face Amelia in surprise. "What do you mean by no?" "Let's just have lunch here with everyone" Amelia tried to grab Mia's hand. Mia moved her hand behind her, "hey, I'm not going to disappear again. Don't worry". Mia tried to reassure her but Amelia was having none of it. She was shaking her head negatively as she stood her ground. Mia sighed before coming to stand in front of Amelia. "That day was meant to happen and it was no one's fault. Today is different." "No". Amelia replied stubbornly with a haughty toss of her head. "Why don't we go to the same place with other people?" When Amelia looked like she was going to day no, Mia added, "I won't go to the restroom I promise." Amelia continues to hesitate for a while as she mulled over Mia's words. No one could come and grab Mia in the middle of the crowd and she would be there too so she nodded. The both of them followed Am
Mia's throat went dry at Adrian's words. She did not know the content of the message he received but his question was enough to enlighten her. He knows. She was struggling to breath, not in a sensual way but because she was afraid as he had her pressed to the wall. He also grabbed her elbow with a bruising grip. "Boss". The guard who told Adrian about the bug called him. Adrian turned around and snarled at the man, "what?".The man flinched back at Adrian's tone. "The person, whosoever they are, would be tracking us right now. Should we prepare to change location?". Adrian looked around at his men. Their eyes were on him as they were waiting for his instructions. He knew that they were prepared to fight to death with him. Not only had they been trained for battle, many of them were indebted to him as he has helped them one way or the other. He had never been the one to run away from fights and he was not prepared to now. He opened his mouth to tell them to get ready to f
It's been three days since she refused to answer Adrian's question. He had gotten so angry and nearly choked the life out of her but in the end he didn't kill her. Instead he dragged her here where she had been tortured emotionally since then. She would have broken down if she had not been through much worse but then, one could never get used to being like this. Her days were spent trying to cover her ears from the screams of pain from the man that was being torture in front of her and her night was spent trying hard not to dream of the man's face or hear his painful screams. It was impossible. She kept drifting in and out of sleep because of her old nightmare and the new ones coming together in her head. Her head was aching and she felt sick to her bones. She had wronged him. That much she knew as she had seen the pain in his eyes and the hurt when he had brought her over here and watched her being strapped to a chair. His jaw and hands were clenched as he instructed the
