"I know about Dustin too”.He knew everything already, so what was the need of coming to ask her? What was the need to still hide it from him? She might as well just tell him everything from the beginning. He might take pity on her, or he might think that her story was not his cup of tea and still return her to Gideon because whatever Gideon had given to him was far more important than her touching story. Or maybe after hearing about Dustin, he would understand why she did what she did. Perhaps he would take pity on her because of the little guy. There were too many maybes going through her mind. What will, will be, so there was no need of prolonging the inevitable. "You want to know everything?”. There was a pathetic smile on her face as she asked him. She refused to meet his gaze, her eyes remained fixed on the floor that was still bright red with that man's blood. It hadn't been cleaned up. She hates the smell of the room and would have thrown up a long time ago, except that s
The sound of the gunshot was still echoing in Mia's ear, and the picture of Enzo's lifeless eyes refused to leave her mind. She trudged after Marco in a daze as he led her somewhere. She stopped when he did and when he began to move again, she forced herself to go with him. He led her into a room and stopped to face her. Mia looked up at him." Did you see what happened to Enzo? You should keep that tough girl character, if not, you'll die before your father gets here. Now sit down and wait”. The bile that had been rising in the pit of her stomach rushed to her throat, and she opened her mouth and retched on him. " What the fuck”. Marco yelled in disgust as he jumped away from her. He raised his hand to hit her, but on remembering what that had cost Enzo, he held himself back. “Stupid thing”. He watched in disgust as she continued to vomit. When she was done, Mia looked up at Marco. It was almost as if she could not see him. " Go and sit there. The maid will clean this mess up”.
Mia looked at the hand that was roaming around her body. Fingers pinched her pink, dusty nipples before moving on to scrub her body clean. Mia followed the hand up to look at the owner of the hand. His brows were furrowed in concentration as he washed and at the same time groped her. Her brain was still lagging a bit, and she could not understand why she was back in her room in Adrian's house? Why was she in a hot tub and Adrian was washing her body clean? But that's undoubtedly what was happening. Adrian's hand did not pause as he looked up from her body to meet her eyes. He only arched one bushy brow at her," what?”. " Are you bathing me or groping me?”. Mia asked him. " All of the above”. Then he went back to looking at her body. Mia sighed and said nothing. She didn't understand why he was doing what he was doing when he was going to take her back to Gideon soon. She looked down at the foamy water that was already getting cold. Soon Adrian was done bathing her. He carried
When she woke up again, she was not alone, Adrian was behind her. She could hear his steady breathing and she knew that he was awake. She was using one of his hands as a pillow while the other one was pinching her breast. Not only that, but she could feel his erection pressing against her bottom. Her breathing quickened, but she remained still, waiting to see what he would do. "I know you are awake”. His hand left her breast, and he used the hand to wrap around her to hug her close.Mia turned around to face him, thinking about how he knew that she was awake when she had not moved. Her head was under his chin, so she could not see his face. She inhaled deeply, breathing in his familiar and soothing scent. His hand caressed her back before moving to push her hair out of her face. His hands then moved down to her breast, but he did not stop. He caressed her stomach and she held her breath in anticipation, thinking that he would move his hands downwards, but he kept his hands on her st
“ I still don't trust you”.Adrian fixed his blue eyes upon the man who was sitting on the other side of the table opposite him. FBI agent Henry Bradford. The man he has been working with to bring Gideon down for years. As much as he wanted to storm over to Gideon and put a clean gunshot wound in his head, he wanted him to suffer before his death. Killing him was too easy.“ You don't have to”.“ I hate this place”. Henry looked around the dimly lit room. They were in an underground club filled with drug Lord's and different criminals that the FBI had been searching for. He was itching to arrest them all. “ It's riddled with the likes of you. You should have come to me”.Adrian's lips curl up in a cold smirk at Henry's words," I don't go to people, they come to me, and what is my type?”.“ Drug Lord's, mafia bastards. You need my help”.“That's where you have gotten it wrong, Bradford. You need my help, not the other way round”. Adrian raised one hand to stop Henry when he opened his
She shouldn't have said it. She regrets saying it, but it was already too late to take it back. All the way home, he had stared out of the window and not said a word to her until they got home. She trailed after him wanting to apologize, but she couldn't bring herself to say a word. He had never looked so distant from her. His face was calm and stony and unapproachable.When he entered his room, she wanted to go after him but on remembering a certain memory of the first time she entered his room, she decided against it and went to her room hoping that he would come. He didn't. She stayed awake all night, tossing and turning. Waiting for him to push the door open and come to bed to wrap his hand around her, nothing. She finally fell asleep but woke up screaming in the middle of the night and couldn't go to sleep. She was half expecting him to come bursting through her door to hold her in his arms because of her screaming and he would whisper comforting words to her like he always doe
Satisfaction and triumph flared within Mia, especially when she saw the way Rose's hand curled around her fork until her knuckles turned white.Mia continued to eat like nothing that was happening was any of her business. She could feel Poppy's eyes and Rose's eyes on her. She was waiting for what Rose would say; ask her to leave the room or swallow her bitterness and move to stay in a guest room.“ Keep my things in a guest room until Adrien returns. He would solve this”. Rose told Poppy with her eyes still on Mia, who was pretending like everything that was happening had nothing to do with her. But she could see the tiny smile on Mia's lips. It made her chest fill with anger. She wanted to lash out. She was not even sure what Adrian would say when he got back and met her here. He has never cared before, but no woman has ever lived with him before. By the way, he behaved with her in his office the other day, she was not so confident, but she won't go down without a fight. He might be
" I'm sorry about my outburst the other night”. Mia immediately apologized when they got into his car. She noticed that his security had doubled and in one part of her mind, she knew that it was because of her.Adrian was surprised. He had not expected her to apologize. He had been angry that night because of what she said, but after thinking about it the whole night, he finally understood where she was coming from. She had done literally everything she could to get back her child, so she won't think twice about spying on Gideon. He rubbed her head and brought her close to his chest," it's okay, sweetheart. I understand why you said that, but I just want you to know that I would do everything I can to help you get your baby back. But I don't want you to get in trouble. If you die, then who will take care of your baby?”.Mia sighed as she listened to his slow but steady heartbeat under her ear. She felt her heart melting at his promise to help her get Dustin back. Even if she did no
