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”
All she wanted to do now was to drink until she passed out. She could not believe it. Adrian had chased her out of his house without even so much as a second thought, all because of a woman. A slutty woman at that. A whore who has slept with so many men, but Adrian had chosen that whore over her. It would have been laughable if she was not the one caught up in this situation. He had been so angry when he came back and met her in his house. His veins were bulging out as he asked her why she was in his house and if she met Mia. It was almost as if he were scared of her hurting Mia or saying something that would make the other woman leave him. Adrian was correct. She had not done anything that night, but she would do something soon. Something that would separate Mia from Adrian, and she just knew the person that would help her out. An evil smile graced her lips as she remembered her well-thought-out plan. Her eyes filtered through the dimly lit club where she was. She was here to cel
“We might need her twin sister in the future. Ask someone to keep an eye on her”. After she calmed down, Rose told Harper as she watched Malia with a deep and penetrating gaze. "Alright". "Do we still have to attend this part if Adrian has given Mia back to Gideon's? Shouldn't we be looking for ways to get back together with Adrian? I don't trust Madeline one bit". Mia told Harper. "We can't trust that Adrian doesn't have any hidden motive for returning Mia back to Gideon. With the way he has reacted to you twice and from what Gideon said about Mia having a child with him, do you think Adrian would really return her back? What if they are looking for a way to get her son?". Harper asked Rose Rose mulled over Harper's words for a while before she nodded, "true. So we would be attending this party to find a way to talk to Gideon and strike a good deal with him. Make him know that he stands a chance of losing Mia and his son if he wasn't careful of Adrian. If he keeps Mia a
