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
"I already said it the last time that we are not going with this idea. Are you trying to piss me off, Bradford?” Adrian asked in a cold tone when Amanda was done explaining the plan. Henry tried his best to maintain eye contact with Adrian but failed. He could feel a heavy pressure in the air and the place was cold, like they were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Henry cleared his throat before explaining, “we stayed up all night thinking of better solutions, but this is the best we could come up with and Amanda here is willing to go in with Mia”. Adrian held himself back from banging his hand on the table in their middle. “Well, your best solution is not working. Are you trying to push all the work on the ladies while you take the glory at the end?”. Adrian asked with narrowed eyes. Henry squirmed uncomfortably under Adrian's gaze. Adrian had seen through him, and he was right, he knew that the ladies could lose their lives if Gideon was to suspect a thing. But if the plan
“Did he lay his hands on you, pretty one?”. Mia was squirming uncomfortably under Gideon's wandering hands. He was touching her all over and she felt disgusted. All she wanted to do was shove him off, but her hands were still bound together behind her. He has not loosened her. "Don't worry, you are safe now. I won't allow him to come close to you. You know that I will always rescue you no matter what”. I can be safe anywhere in the world apart from where you are, Mia thought silently. He was the only person she needed to be rescued from. She bit her tongue as she willed herself to say nothing and do nothing as he kept touching her everywhere. She felt tears pricked at the back of her eyes as the disgust she felt. She never felt like this when Adrian was touching her. She would give anything to be in his arms, but she won't know peace until Dustin was also safe. For now, she would endure. Mia's shoulder sagged in relief when, after touching her to his heart content, he finally st
Satisfaction curled in the pit of Mia's stomach when Gideon turned to Marianna and Marianna gasped in fright. "What the hell did you do?”. Gideon screamed in anger at Marianna, causing her to flinch back in fear. "The make-up is good. She is just trying to get me in trouble. I got all this make-up from the store and I have used it on other girls. I…”. Marianna rushed to explain. "You stupid bitch, she already agreed to go to the party. You are trying to ruin her pretty face”. Gideon threw a leg and kicked Marianna to the ground. Marianna fell with a plop, and tears filled her eyes at the pain that spread through her body. “I did not try to destroy her face”. She cried. This was not what she planned. She had told Gideon that Mia was refusing to do her make-up because she did not want to attend the party. She also reported that Mia tried to stab her. "You are still not apologizing, you stupid slut”. Gideon kicked her again. " Owww, I am sorry”. Marianna cried. "Get me Hannah”
