-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

Loving Mia Prologue
Mia Belle We all have to face the consequences of the mistakes that we make in life. Sometimes, the consequences far outweigh the actions, and therefore, those who are fortunate enough, get away with their mistakes. Others? Not so much. What do they say? 'Life's a beach and we're just playing in the sand?' I guess you never really value sayings or quotes until you're the one on the other side of reality; the one in the heat.However, when those mistakes result in an unplanned pregnancy, what choice do you have left? Pregnancy brings a new series of lessons, decisions and plans. It becomes a totally different era that we've been introduced to; lessons to be learnt after sleeping with a stranger with no protection, decisions to make as to whether or not you'd like to keep the baby, and planning on how to secure a future for your unborn child. I was definitely in the second stage. I always thought that when I'
Loving Mia Chapter 1
Liam Novak I gazed at the city from my office floor-to-ceiling windows. Everyone on the sidewalk rushed to wherever they were heading. They all had a plan- a purpose, an objective to accomplish, somehow. The city however, never changed as time went by. Well, except the clouds in the sky. It always amazed me when I had the opportunity to recognize the constant and varied things in life. They seemed to keep me calm, and I'd always appreciated the littlest things in life before. But, today I was lost. Lost in colors and movement. A knock on my door brought me out of my reverie. Turning towards the door, I said, "Come in." My best friend, Jason, walks in- dressed in a suit, as usual. We'd been best friends since forever, and we basically grew up together. Being an only child, my childhood was never filled with any peers, other than Jason. Our parents had been best friends since high school, so the friendship just kind

Liam Novak It was a relatively short drive from NHI headquarters to the NYU campus. When we arrived, Gordon got out, along with my other bodyguards. Students were walking around campus, others sitting under a tree or on a blanket on the grass outside. It reminded me of my days here at school when I would hang out with Jason and my other buddies, not forgetting the number of girls who were with us. Everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at us. A few girls off to our right giggled as we passed by. They had been in a conversation before but stared at us and blushed. Jason winked at them, but I continued to make my way towards the entrance of the building. We entered the main building which I remember housed the auditorium, and entering the auditorium, I asked the angels above to bless me. After a rather tedious forum, and the constant ogling sent my way from the women in the room, I was overjoyed at leaving
Loving Mia Chapter 3
Mia BelleI'm brought out of my deep slumber by the need to pee-really pee. The kind of pee that accumulates only for a few hours, but feels like you haven't been to the toilet in months.This baby will be the death of me.I was so caught up in hurrying to get out of bed and rushing to the toilet, that I didn't even realize that there is someone in my bedroom. By the clearing of a throat, I jump, and my heart nearly leaves the confines of my body. Looking up, I see that Liam is sitting on a chair and is staring at me intently."Hey," I whispered, still a little startled. 'When did he get in and how does he know where I live
Loving Mia Chapter 4
Mia BelleThe next morning, I woke up wrapped in Liam's arms-again. But this time, he was no longer a stranger, and I was quite relieved and comfortable, actually. The warmth radiating from his body made me very delighted, and I smiled, thinking of all the possibilities ofthisworking out between us.Looking up at his face, I see that he's still fast asleep, and his face is totally adorable. I imagine having a son who looks just like Liam, and there's nothing to do but smile.Adorable.I'm about to get out of bed, but is pulled back into his arms. When I look up at him, he's wide awake and grinning, showing his white dazzling teeth.
Loving Mia Chapter 5
Mia BelleI was slightly confused when I saw the neighborhood we were driving in, but the gates and walls that surrounded the houses told me all I needed to know. All the homes here were mansions which meant that the people who lived here were either millionaires or billionaires, hence the reason we were driving through this neighborhood.We drove for a few minutes until I felt the SUV slow down, and realizing we were here, I looked at my surroundings. Looking ahead of me, I gasped when I saw the 'house'. The vast land surrounding the mansion could've possibly amounted to an estate, but I couldn't be too sure. When we arrived at the gates, security there immediately let us through- recognizing Liam's vehicle. The drive from the gates to the house was ra
Loving Mia Chapter 6
Liam NovakWaking up the next morning, I tried cuddling a little longer with Mia, but realized that the spot where she'd once been was replaced by a pillow.Her pillow. She was gone once again.But the only difference was that we weren't drunk last night and we hadn't had sex. We'd merely cuddled and it was indeed an amazing feeling.The only intimacy I'd known was to have sex with girls and leave right after, but I never let girls into my house, unless it were my mom, grandma or aunts. I didn't have much friends that were girls. What do you expect? I'd eventually end up sleeping with them, anyway.Mia however, had amazed me since the first night we met. From the moment I'd smelt the
Loving Mia Chapter 7
Mia BelleI'd never had so much fun in such a long time-especiallywith being pregnant and all. Spending the weekend with Liam was absolutely remarkable. We spent Sunday at the pool and watching TV shows of Liam's choice- of course. He was very cautious about my health and was always willing to take care of my every need. From this, I knew he'd be a great dad, and I could only hope that he was.Being aware of his reputation with the ladies kind of made me uncertain about what we were trying to do for our unborn child, but I had to keep on reminding myself that it wasn't just me anymore. I was doing this for our baby, and he needed to have a chance to be a dad, whether he was willing to take up the responsibility, or not. Liam was a p

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
Loving Mia Chapter 33
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
Loving Mia Chapter 32
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
Loving Mia Chapter 31
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
Loving Mia Chapter 30
Mia Novak-Two months later-To say that everything went superb during these two months, would be a huge lie, and frankly, I loved being honest. 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. However, life throws a curve at you, and you realize that you're back where you started. That's exactly how I felt.Neil refused to speak
Loving Mia Chapter 29
Mia NovakLiam has been sulking ever since our little exchange of words in the bedroom. Okay, maybe the exchange of words no matter how brief of a conversation it was, wasn't aslittleas it seemed at the time. And I probably overreacted too.What? I'm a girl.Girls overreact all the time. And it wasn't entirely true that I didn't want more kids. Truth is I did want a few more miniature Liams running around the house and creating havoc.Spending time with Logan, and seeing him grow, made me so proud at being a mom. It's like no matter how much pain I went through to give birth to him, seeing my little boy so energetic and adorable, made it worth every single pain. However, I was
