The 20th of January- Liam and Logan's birthday- we were doing last minute preparations for the surprise party. Lewis- one of the security guards- was driving, Logan and I in the backseat of the SUV. I'd tried leaving Logan home with his grandparents but he'd cried when he realized that I was going out. Having no choice, I brought him along with me. He didn't like staying home at all.
I wonder where he got this from!
The cakes would be delivered in a few hours; the house was being decorated; guests would be arriving early enough so Liam would not be suspicious; and on top of all this, Logan's very excited.
I chuckled seeing him in the car sea

Mia NovakI stared at the chest in hesitation and reluctance. I'd never opened it before, scared of what could possibly be in there. After all these years, I'd never expected a time that I would've found myself having no choice but to open it. What could be in there?The others stood surrounding the coffee table, anticipating the contents of the chest- just as I was. Taking a deep breathe, I opened the chest. I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked at the contents inside. Nothing seemed strange.There were a number of items in there, and I looked through it wondering what they were. Finally, I pulled out a cloth, and unwrapping it, I noticed that it was a baby onesie that said 'Daddy's Little Princess'.

Mia NovakI'm awakened by the insistent poking of my cheeks, forehead, eyes and nose. I frown, but opening my eyes, I'm greeted by my cheeky little baby boy. Liam must have kept him here all night. His piercing hazel eyes that he got from me, are sparkling, and to me, he's the most adorable little being in the world. And I'm not being biased at all.I crawl out of bed, not really wanting to get up, but knowing I should. Liam's probably left for work by now, and my angel and I need breakfast. I help Logan out of bed, and he follows me into the bathroom as I brush my teeth and put my hair up into a ponytail.When I'm done in there, I change into a sweater, a pair of blue skinny jeans and cotton socks. I carry Log

Mia NovakAs we drive to the FBI department building, I look out the window at nothing in particular. We pass buildings, people, and cars, but I'm not aware of anything but my thoughts. I'm thinking about my life; my past. It's completely selfish, but there's more baggage to my life than most celebrities in the tabloids.I wish I could change the hands of time; go back to being one day old, and possibly in a happy home.Possibly.I'm not sure. I don't even know myself anymore, and the truth- I've neveractuallyknown myself.How could my childhood have turned out? Can I even find out about myself and who I am, or am I too late? I feel like I've been living a lie my whole li

Liam NovakI gaze at Mia as she sleeps soundly in our king-sized bed. Her usually untamed hair is beyond tussled from sleep, but she looks completely adorable. She hasn't had a good night's sleep in two days and I frown remembering her waking from nightmares during the night. Her nightmares have certainly taken a toll on her. It's usually of a man chasing her or killing everyone she loves; Neil Jones.To know that my wife is going through this is not at all comforting. Actually, it's theexactopposite. 'Where has my lively, bubbly wife gone to?' I often ask myself. She's normally so full of life, and laughter, but this man has affected her in more ways than one. It's almost like he's taken her life away from her, and all that's left is her memories.

Mia NovakHe's back again!Back to bring my life more sufferings. Back to take away all my happiness; joyful memories. He won't rest until he's destroyed me. Until all that's left of me is a mere memory. And he's succeeded. Our chase has gone on for too long, and by the look on his face, he's here to end this journey. He shows not even an ounce of mercy. And I can tell that this fight will not go so successful for me.What he's taken away from me far outweigh what I've been given; what I've achieved in my life. He gives me that sly smirk and I shiver in disgust. A man who has shadowed me my whole life, and seen me grow from a baby to a woman. A man with secrets. A man who has murdered, and threatened others to get what he wants. A man I'm disguste

Mia NovakI dreaded going to this book conference today, but simply, I had no choice. My fans were depending on me, and getting out of the house did help putting my mind as ease- even if I didn't feel as 'ease' with myself. I'd been cooped up in the house for too long, and I needed exposure- according to Liam.I walked into the George's Hotel with Caleb and James following behind me. People smiled, waved, and I did so in return, putting on my brave face, and a few smiles to mask my emotion. No one needed to know what was going on in my life. No one needed all this baggage.I was dressed as formally as I could; baby-blue dress shirt, black pencil skirt and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Black Suede pumps. It was pre

They were probably the most crucial months of my life-to say the least.I thought when we'd caught Neil, it would be easy to find out the truth about my past. However, things don't necessarily turn out as we plan- does it? That's always how life is. You think you're at the end of it all, and that you'll move on from whatever it is that you've been faced with.

Mia Novak-8 years later-My eyes flutter open and I'm greeted by rays of sunlight shining into our bedroom from the glass windows. As I sit up carefully in bed, I take in what's supposed to be Liam's half of the bed. His side is cold, which means he must have left a while ago. I frown at the clock. It's 9:00 am on a Saturday.Liam didn't allow me to fall asleep until it was past midnight. He's still this amazing man I met all those years ago-eleven, to be exact. It always amazes me that we've known each other for that long. He still made me blush like a love-sick teenager, and his touch still made me shiver. He certainly knew what he was doing to me, and he loved it as much as he did al

Mia Novak-Two Years Later-I stare at the pregnancy test in disbelief. It told me all that I needed to know. Again, the signs were all there; nausea, vomiting, tender and fuller breasts, cravings and increased urination.Déjà vu?Actually, I'd known for a while, but I refused to believe that this was actually true. I thought that maybe if I waited a little while longer, it would all be a mere memory, and it would all go back to normal. Now however, there was no questioning the test.I was pregnant, and it would no longer be a 'mere' memory.It's been two long years. Not much occurred during those two years for the Nov

Mia NovakEver felt so invisible that you can conquer the world? Well, that's how I felt. Everything that occurred made me so certain that they were fortunate. ThatIwas fortunate. Along the lines of 'better than ever'. As the months went by, so did my relationship with my newly discovered family improve. They were a lovely bunch, and I learned to love them more and more every day. After living a life of sufferings, and all the scary things I'd been through, things were finally pleasant,for a change.I spent a lot of time with my family as Liam traveled on business trips, and the first time I saw the mansion, I cried. Everyone there was so lovely, and welcomed me home after almost 23 years. I met my parent's bodyguards
Loving Mia Chapter 34
Mia NovakMy family decided to stay over for the night and I was elated. I wish they could stay forever, but I knew that they had their business to go back to. I was married now, with a kid, so I needed to stay here.They spoke about their home, and I felt sad not being able to grow up there. I knew I would have a loving family just by how they were. My parents have been married for 26 years, and were still madly in love with each other. They met in college and my mom got pregnant with Wyatt. Mom was nineteen at the time, and dad, 20 years old. They got married months after finding out that mom was pregnant and have been together ever since. They then had the twins two years later, and I came a few years after the twins. From what they told me, I was an unplanne

Mia NovakThe first thing I recognized as I awoke from my slumber was the intense silence of my surroundings. It was almost impossible for the house to be so quiet with a one year old around, unless he was asleep. So, it led me to think that heisasleep. As I turned to look at the clock, I realized that it was time for dinner, and our weekly barbecue. 'I'd slept that long?' I wondered.Getting up from the bed, I went into the bathroom to take a shower. After my shower, I stepped into the walk-in closet and picked out a pair of thick black leggings and a silver colored Mickey Mouse sweatshirt that went mid-thigh. As I dressed, I couldn't help but smile even through my earlier experience. I knew that I needed to be strong, and that's just what

Liam NovakMia surely handled herself tremendously well throughout the 'interrogation' with Neil, but when she broke down, it pained my heart seeing her like this. I wrapped my arms tighter around her, never wanting to let her go. I wanted to keep her in my arms, where she'd be safe for eternity, but I knew I couldn't.As we drove away from the headquarters, she sat on my lap, her face buried in my chest and my hands surrounding her protectively. I placed tiny kisses on the top of her head, and whispered words of love to her as she continued to cry.I could only imagine what was going through her mind. Her parents were alive. She could meet them after 23 years of her life, and she surely deserved to. She deserv

Liam NovakListening to Mia and Neil's conversation, I couldn't help but want to be in there with her now, holding her in my arms as she speaks to the man who took her away from her parents. Finding out all this information about her life must be difficult or at least challenging, but she didn't even cry. She was angry, I could tell, but I knew she wanted him to see how tough she is. She's one strong woman- my wife.I'd seen such a huge improvement since her therapy sessions and I was happy that she's at least getting back to being normal. Shedeservesnormal. Her life had always been filled with things that she had no idea of their existence. Now that she had a chance to redeem herself, I was happy for her. She needed joy and happiness. She n
