Mia's pov.Xavier carried me in his arms and took me to our bedroom. I was so lifeless, like putty in his hands. I had no strength to walk after very intense and heated lovemaking. He fucked me so good that I saw the moon and stars like I was in heaven. He was my heaven.He made me feel crazy things I never thought could happen in this world.His wicked tongue could make any dirty thing sound so tempting and desirable, and I was ready to obey his every order and command.He kicked open the bathroom door and put me down on my feet. He ran the warm water to fill the tub and added my favorite bubble drops to it. I was so sticky with vanilla and chocolate all over me and, not to mention his cum between my legs still dripping out of my sore pussy.He checked the water temperature and helped me to get inside the tub. I settled in and relaxed when bubbly warm water eased my tired body.Xavier kicked his shoes away and removed his socks. He opened the buttons of his shirt impatiently and quic
Mia's POV The following day came with a beautiful sunrise. I never felt so different in my entire life. I felt content and happy lying in Xavier's arms. He was holding me as if I was the most precious and special thing to him in this whole world. I slowly lifted my hand and trailed my fingertips on his stubbled jaw, gently caressing his skin. I carefully slid out of his arms and was about to get up. My head suddenly started spinning, making me hold the bed frame. It was only for a fraction of a second. I blinked to clear my buzzing head. I wrapped my robe and tied the sash to my waist. I headed towards the bathroom. As I entered the bathroom, my stomach churned, making me puke. I covered my mouth and ran near the sink to throw my guts out. I have been feeling strange for the past few days. But today, it really made me feel sick. I had to see a doctor now. But I couldn't tell Xavier about this. Otherwise, he wouldn't let me leave home. Nowadays, he had become more possessive.
Mia's POV We were sitting in the library again on a break between classes. "Xavier is throwing a party for me in two days, on Sunday." I whispered carefully so as not to be heard by the librarian. "Wow, that's great!" Emma chimed, and we had to gesture to her to keep her voice low. "Oops, sorry! I became excited." She apologized, wrinkling her nose. "What's the occasion, by the way?" Adam asked this time. "Ummmm... he wanted to announce my legacy of the Valerio Empire." I said. I still could not believe that I had an empire to manage. "Oh my my! Her highness! We forgot that now we are friends with one of the richest girls in the country," Emma bowed dramatically. "Shut up. It's not like that," I said, blushing. "Yeah! So what will it be like having an entire empire to own, your highness?" Adam teased. "If you both don't stop making fun of me, I won't talk to either of you ever," I said with a sullen face. "Ok... ok... Sorry, your highness," Adam started again.
Mia's POV. I tried so many dresses in the shop. I was still confused. Matteo had mentioned that I was Mrs. Mia Xavier Leonardi, so they showed me the best collection in their store. I tried a red halter neck gown that was flowy at the bottom. It looked nice, but I wasn't happy. Then I tried a black strapless gown. It was gorgeous, but I couldn't decide. Every dress was so beautiful, and it confused me more each time I tried a gown. I still wanted a second opinion on what I should wear for the party. Then I tried a peach-colored bodycon mermaid dress with sequin work, making it glitter at night. I came out wearing this dress from the trial room. Matteo was sitting in the waiting area. "So? You’re done," he asked, observing me from head to toe. "No, I'm still confused. I like this dress but still want a second opinion. What do you think? Will it be good enough to wear at the party?" I asked him for his help. He giggled awkwardly and wiped his forehead. He cleared his throat befor
Mia's POVI was getting ready for the party. Xavier's mother had sent some makeup artists to help me prepare for the night. I wore my peach mermaid gown, and the makeup artists worked magic on my face, enhancing my features. They gave my blue eyes a winged look and applied shimmering eyeshadows. They used a peach color on my rosy cheeks and a peach-shining lip gloss on my lips. They styled my hair in a perfect bun adorned with a diamond crown, leaving a few strands loose around my neck.When I saw myself in the mirror after they were done, I was mesmerized by my own reflection. I couldn’t wait for Xavier to come and see me. I actually looked like a model, just like his ex-girlfriend Diva used to look. Just the thought of his ex-girlfriend made my happy mood turn gloomy. I slipped on a pair of shimmery white stilettos to match my dress.I used to wear heels because Xavier was almost a foot taller than me. He was practically 6'8" or 6'9"—I didn’t know exactly. But God, he was huge, li
Mia's POV. "You are too young to take the responsibility of this Empire. Why don't you give power of attorney to your father, and when you are capable enough to take the responsibility, you can take over the Empire, and he will happily give it to you. After all, he's your dad." Andrea proposed. And I didn't know how to reply to her proposal. But before I could say anything, my dad replied on my behalf. "No, Andrea. My mother gave this Empire to Mia, and she is the sole owner of the Valerio Empire. She doesn't need to give me power of attorney to run the business successfully. Until she graduates and has her degree, I will happily manage and run all the business and the Empire. Because I am a Valerio, it's my foremost duty to take care of the Valerio property and Empire." My heart was filled with pride for my dad for the first time in my lifetime. My eyes prickled with tears hearing he would be happy to help me. I had always missed my father throughout my life, and after fin
Mia's POV I was sitting alone and getting bored. So I decided to roam around. I saw everyone was busy gossiping, drinking, and enjoying a meal. In the hall's center, they made ballroom dance arrangements where some couples were dancing gracefully. I smiled at the memory of my first dance with Xavier. My eyes began to search for him. I wandered through the hall, looking for him amongst the crowd. Finally, I found him standing in a corner with Diva. They were talking like old friends. What was he doing with her? He said he had no feelings for her and had gotten over it. I stepped towards them. My heart stung, and my eyes widened when I saw Xavier was hugging Diva. What the hell? I hurried towards them, and when I reached them, they were separated and holding hands. I abruptly pulled Xavier's hand, making them break their connection. Xavier's head snapped towards me. "Mia?" The surprise was all over his face. "What's going on?" I asked, narrowing my eyes and carefully curling
Xavier's pov. I had to leave Mia alone with my mum when my dad asked me to meet some of our business partners. When I was done meeting them, I went to the bar to get something for myself. "Xavier!" I heard a voice and cringed mentally. I knew that voice and never wanted to meet this girl again. But now I had no escape because she was standing before me, my ex-girlfriend Diva Rossi. I remembered the last time, what she tried to do. I didn't want to create a scene at my party. So, I just ignored her, and I turned my back on her. "Xavier, are you avoiding me?" She called me from behind. I cursed mentally and turned towards her. "Do you leave me a choice? Do you remember what you did to me last time?" I scowled at her. "I really want to apologize for that day, Xavier. I truly regret it. Will you please forgive me? Please..." She begged. "Diva, every time I try to forgive you, you have always done something I could not forget. How can I trust you that you won’t do it again
Xavier's POVI kissed her deep and rough. It wasn't gentle. It was meant for punishment. I was letting her know that she belonged to me and was not allowed to leave me. These kisses were meant for owning her.I knew I was a possessive lover. It was her fault. She made me feel like that.I pressed my lips to hers firmly. I took her lower lip between my teeth, slightly tugging on it, taking it into my mouth, plunging my tongue into her sweet mouth, tasting every corner of her, making her tongue submit to me on my command and let me win over her.She curled her hands around my neck, supporting her weight. She was kissing me with equal passion and the same hunger I had for her.I had to take her right now. My body was craving her. I was hard as steel in my pants.I picked her up in my arms and strode toward the bed. Reaching beside the bed, I gently placed her on it. I pulled away, and she was watching me with her half-hooded eyes.I pulled my shirt over my head and threw it on the floor.
Xavier's POV My eyes were craving to see Mia's face as I landed in Florence. I was in a hurry to reach home. Every fiber of my body was in pain. I couldn't survive one more minute staying away from her. I wanted to see her, feel her, and make sure I was alive. Every second without her was literally killing me. I rushed towards the exit at the airport. My car was waiting for me. I quickly settled inside and ordered them to drive faster. The long drive to my home was unbearable as I was out of patience. As soon as the car stopped before my mansion, I quickly stepped down and ran inside. I saw my father and my uncle sitting there talking to each other. My cousins were also there. But my eyes wanted to see only her face the first thing when I entered. I looked around to find Mia, but she was nowhere. She must have arrived hours before. Being anxious, I could not help but shout her name. "MIA!" Her name sounded like a prayer leaving my mouth. Everyone's attention was
Mia's POV Xavier had sent me with Matteo. When we exited the mansion, a private jet was waiting for us. "I think you should go back and help him. I will be alright," I told Matteo. I was worried about Xavier. He was alone there, surrounded by so many armed men and that cruel Don Nikolai. I prayed in my heart that he should be safe and come to me soon. "Don't worry. He will be alright. He is Xavier Leonardi. No one can touch a single hair on his head," he said with confidence. "He is alone there and surrounded by fifty armed people. Don Nikolai is also very dangerous. I am scared for Xavier's safety. Please, I request you to go back to him," I pleaded with him. "I am sorry. I have orders to take you home safely. Your safety is my first priority. Otherwise, he won't forgive me for ignoring his orders. Only you and your safety matter to him and nothing else," he paused and sighed. "Don't worry, our men and Sam are standing outside the mansion; they are only a signal away." I
Xavier's POV Don Nikolai became mad in anger. His plan didn't work, and everything went wrong, opposite his expectations. He thought he could make me agree to his demand. How foolish of him. No one in this world can make Xavier Leonardi bend down. He was also going to learn very soon that he had made a big mistake by calling me there. He was fuming red and lost his mind as he ordered his men to point their guns towards me. Anger indeed makes us lose our ability to think correctly. Did they not know that Xavier Leonardi is the second name of death? Did he really think I would give up in front of him just because he could keep my wife away from me for a whole day? In his fuc.king dreams. I watched as they held out their guns towards me. I leaned back on the couch and laughed at their stupidity. They looked at me dumbfounded. These idiots can never get into my brain. I took a quick glance over the room, and before they got alert, I lunged forward swiftly, picking up the broken gl
Xavier's POV As soon as we landed in Russia, my heart craved to see Mia. When we reached Don Nikolai's mansion, his men stopped us outside. I couldn't wait to see my Mia. I was ready to agree to their every demand. They really made me work up this time. Don Nikolai dared to refuse to let me see my wife, and I was going to fuc.king burn this place. After getting permission, they only allowed Matteo and me inside. My men remained outside, waiting for my next order. Just as my eyes landed on Mia, I forgot everything. Don Nikolai was screaming to stop me, but I didn't care. My hands craved to touch her, my body wanted to feel her, my lips wanted to have her on mine, and my tongue wanted to taste her. I could not stop. As soon as I had her in my arms, my lips landed on hers fiercely, roughly, with hunger and desperation. When I pulled away, I looked at her face. She was looking weak. Her eyes were dull and red, as if she had been crying for hours. I searched for any injury to her bod
Mia's POV I was in a vast hall with a dining table full of different foods. I noticed Emma and Adam sitting there. Emma looked at me and smiled cunningly, but I averted my eyes. Adam wasn’t looking at me at all, completely ignoring me. To my surprise, Don Nikolai pulled out a chair for me. I settled into it reluctantly. Some butlers arrived and began serving the meal. I glanced at the food on my plate, then at Don Nikolai. He chuckled before saying, "I ordered them to prepare all your favorite dishes for dinner." I wasn’t surprised that he knew my favorite foods—Emma and Adam had all the information about me. I chose to remain silent and started eating from my plate. Don Nikolai kept staring at me with his dark eyes the entire time, making me feel uncomfortable. Suddenly, I heard noises coming from the doorway. A man rushed in and whispered something into Don Nikolai’s ear. He nodded and said, “Bring them inside.” My heart began to race as I heard footsteps approaching. My ey
Mia's POV I couldn’t believe Emma and Adam could do this to me. I trusted them. We were best friends. But they used me as a pawn in their games. I was so unfortunate to have always been betrayed by my trust. Was trusting and being emotionally attached my mistake? Was this why I always ended up in trouble? Why can’t I be heartless and selfish like the people around me? I was locked in a room. It didn’t feel like a prison—it was a luxurious room. I kept wondering why they had kidnapped me and kept me here. What did they want from me? I came out of my thoughts when I heard the sound of the door opening. Emma entered, holding a tray in her hand. "Who are you exactly, Emma? I’m sure you’re not my friend. Why have you kept me captive here?" I shouted in anger, hurt by their betrayal. "Keep your voice low," she said in a bored voice. "If Don hears you, you’ll be in great trouble. Just some friendly advice, Mia," she added, winking at me, making me scowl. "Why did you do this to m
Xavier's POV We were finally able to track Mia's location. I reached her just in time, before she could leave the city. I was shocked to see her looking at me with hatred. Some people were helping her escape. I couldn’t see their faces as they were wearing masks. Who were they? Why the hell were they helping her run away? All I wanted was for Mia to listen to me, just once. But she didn’t want to. She tried to run away, her innocent blue eyes filled with hate and disgust for me. That broke my heart. My Mia hated me? Before I knew it, I was begging her to come back, admitting how much I loved her. I was ready to do anything to convince her. She stopped running but began crying even more. I furrowed my brow. She covered her mouth with her hand and closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks. I couldn’t understand. She opened her eyes and started to say something. Just then, her voice became inaudible as the loud sound of a chopper drowned everything out, and its he
Mia's POVThe van was running on the road towards an unknown place. I had no idea where we were going. Emma said they would take me to a place Xavier could not reach. But I doubt it. Though I lived with him only for a short time, I got to know how and what he was capable of."Oh no, they are chasing us," Adam said suddenly."Who is chasing?" I asked in confusion, trying to look outside.He didn't reply to me but looked at Emma with a horror-filled face."Drive faster," she instructed the driver. Then she turned to me, "Do you have any tracker with you?" she asked me in a surprisingly rude tone."No, I don't have anything like that," I replied.I didn't know what they were talking about because they made me leave my phone midway on the road."Who is following us?" I asked again."Your husband, Mia," she yelled at me, to my surprise. "I don't know how they tracked our location to reach us so fast," she said more to herself."But why are you shouting at me, Emma?" I asked her annoyingly.
