Mia's POVXavier was hiding something. I didn't like that he wasn't sharing his problems with me."Xavier, I haven't seen you smiling so much in these years," Anna's voice caught my attention. "I didn't think you smiled throughout your life as much as you are smiling today," she said sarcastically.A frown reappeared on Xavier's face, and his cold aura was back. The scary and dangerous Xavier Leonardi had returned."That's none of your business. I won't act according to you," he warned her in his dangerous tone.Why did she have to mention that? Did she not like her brother smiling?"Yes, brother Xavier, you are behaving differently today," the twins Enzo and Lorenzo said together and began laughing.Xavier stopped eating and glared at the twins."Xavier!" Xavier's father called.Xavier's head snapped towards his father. "Yes, Dad!" His voice was emotionless."Finish your dinner and meet me at the bar. I have something to discuss urgently with you," his father said, and Xavier nodded
Xavier's POV I refilled my glass and took a sip. Closing my eyes, I relished the smoothness of the oldest scotch from my father's collection. When I opened my eyes to take another sip, I saw Matteo staring at me with some amusement on his face. "What?" I scoffed and asked. "I know. You were not pretending at the dinner," he said with a smirk on his face, and I wanted to punch him to wipe that smug smile off his face. I narrowed my eyes and raised my eyebrows. "What do you mean?" "I mean, the way you were behaving with Mia, it wasn't an act, was it?" He raised his chin in a challenge. I didn't want to answer this question because I couldn't. I myself didn't know why I felt different when I was with Mia. I was supposed to be heartless and ruthless with everyone. All my ego and anger subsided whenever she came in front of me. I couldn't understand what was happening to me. Then how could I tell him? I ignored his question, swirling the drink in my glass, and took another sip. "X
Xavier's POVMia raised her head towards me when I entered the living room. Her eyes shine as a smile flashes on her beautiful face.How could I not smile when my stone heart becomes alive every time I see her innocent face. I like the way her eyes glow seeing me. She looks at me like I am the center of her entire world.Fuck!How would I survive if she decides to me one day?Mia's smile vanished, and a worry took place on her face. Then I realised that I must have unconsciously frowned.Oh, Angel. Your smile means everything to me. I know how to get it back on your face.I shook my head and started walking towards her."Xav! Wait" Anna called, halting me in my steps. I turned to look at her."Come with me. I want to talk to you." She said and took me to the corner of the hall.I waited for her to speak. She stared at me, narrowing her eyes for a few seconds."What's wrong with you, Xavier? Why are you taking sides with that slut?" She spat, and my blood started boiling."Mind your
Xavier's POV I held Mia's hand and guided her towards the parking lot. We settled inside the car, and the driver started towards our place. Mia was very quiet and seemed to be lost, I can practically see her thoughts running in her mind. "Mia? How was your first meeting with my family? I hope they weren't mean enough to scare you." I tried to lighten up her mood. I know Anna must have bothered her. Because she definitely hadn't approved Mia as a daughter in law of the Leonardi family. "Non, no, they are very sweet, especially your mum. She reminds me of my mother." She said and again became silent, looking out through the window blankly. I sighed and looked at her pale face. "So, what's the problem, baby girl? Tell me, what is bothering you?" I took her chin between my fingers and turned her face towards me. "I was..... I was thinking about Diva Rossi." She said hesitantly and bowed her lashes down, not meeting my eyes. I lifted her face to have her look me into my eyes. "
Mia's POV As soon as the car stopped, Xavier opened the door in haste. He caught my hand and hurried inside the house. We ascended the stairs and headed towards our room. Just then, we reached our room, and Xavier closed the door, pinning me against the door. I was trapped between the door and his large body. His hands fell on my waist, his hard body pressed on me, and his eyes dropped onto my lips. I gasped as he dipped his face down on me, and a strong smell of alcohol hit my nose, sending shivers and rising panic inside me. The scene from the past replayed in my head, where my drunk father used to beat my mum. As an instinct, I instantly pushed him away. However, he was very strong and didn't budge. But my sudden action startled him because he pulled away, furrowing. "You.... You are d... Drunk" I swallowed hard before speaking. My heart was pounding in my chest because I knew I had offended him. "Yeah, I had some Scotch, but I am very sober, baby girl not drunk. My alcoh
Mia's POV Trailing his eyes over my naked body, he started removing his clothes. Quickly, his suit jacket was removed, and the tie was tugged and thrown somewhere in the room. He impatiently opened the buttons of his shirt, and within seconds his pants were also gone, leaving him only in his black boxers showing his hard boner in its full glory, poking the material of his boxers shots and pressing against it. I clenched my thighs in anticipation. I could feel myself becoming wet and dripping just by looking at his hard muscles well built body abs and his hard dick. He crawled on the bed, making me lie on my back. His lips found mine, sucking and biting. His tongue invaded my mouth in search of my tongue again, finding it and pulling it into his mouth and sucking on it. Tasting every corner of my mouth, making me breathless with his mind blowing the way his kisses me. His lips started going down towards my neck, nipping and sucking on my soft skin. I was sure some pink an
Mia's POV As I came down from the highs of my orgasm. I felt As he kept pumping his fingers in and out and sucking my clit with his wicked mouth and the anticipation started building inside me again. I rose on my elbow to look at him and saw his boxers slide down to his knees, his hand stoking his hard cock with one hand and while the other one fingering fucking inside my pussy. I wanted to pleasure him just like he was pleasuring me. However, I had no idea what and how to do it. But I felt like my body was reacting on its own. I sat on the bed making his fingers slide out of me and took hold of his erection from his hand, wrapping my fingers around his thick cock. He was so big that it was impossible to fit in my small hand. I started stroking it in my hand, the way he was doing it while looking into his eyes. He groaned, closing his eyes as he rolled his head back. I moaned in satisfaction that my touch was bringing pleasure to him. As if my body has its own mind, I
Mia's POV When I woke up, Xavier was not in bed. I quickly got up and sat on the bed. I searched for him throughout the room. But he was nowhere in the room. I knocked on the washroom door before opening it. But he was not even in the washroom. I tied my hair into a ponytail, brushed my teeth, and freshened up before going down. As I went down the dining room thinking he must be there. But, he was not there. House helps were doing their routine jobs. I asked a maid about Xavier, "Excuse me, did you see Xavier this morning?" She bowed in front of me and greeted me "Good morning Ma'am! Sir left early in the morning and told us that we would inform you and make sure that you would get whatever you needed. Please tell me what you will have for breakfast?" I was annoyed because Xavier didn't wake me up before leaving for the office. He should have told me. I wanted to see his face when I woke up in the morning. I got used to the wicked kisses he used to give me when he used to
Xavier's POV "Please, Dad, leave her and the Valerio Empire alone. She has suffered all her life and now, finally, has something she deserves. We have no right to own her empire. I promise you I will work harder than you and never disappoint you," I said, surprisingly calm. Mia had definitely brought positive changes in me. My father sighed. "Okay, son, I think we can work on that." After my dad left, I thought about our conversation once more. I really needed to confess my love to Mia before it was too late. I had planned to confess my love and propose to Mia to marry me again. I told Matteo to make the arrangements perfectly. By now, everything should have been done. I just called Matteo to check on the progress. "Hey, Matteo, I hope you’ve made all the arrangements because tonight I am going to surprise Mia. I can’t wait another day," I asked impatiently. "Yes, Boss! All the arrangements are made as you wanted. Everything is according to your instructions. All the best for to
Xavier's POV I didn't know why my father came to my office today to meet me and why he was talking about Mia and her mother. What did he want to tell me? "I'm sure you have heard about Mia's mother and how her character was. You already know why Antonio despised his wife," my father said. "Dad, you don't need to remind me of that." I was getting frustrated now. What did he want to prove? I didn’t like to hear anything bad about Mia. After a long silence, Dad spoke again, "Xavier, I hope you remember that you have to be in this marriage only for three years according to the contract." "I know that very well, Dad," I said in my bored voice. If only he knew what I had in mind for this three-year contract thing. "So you know that you don't have to pretend to be in love with Mia," my dad said. If only he knew what I truly felt for her. "I am not pretending anything, Dad," I said sternly. Because I actually loved her. "So why haven't you taken her signature on the power of attorne
Mia's POV What if he didn’t want this child? This thought shook me to my core. I wouldn’t let anything happen to my baby. My baby will not have to live a life like me. I would go far away from here. Nobody could search for me. Nobody could reach me. Yes, I had decided. First of all, I had to get out of here. Xavier had assigned so many bodyguards. How could I alone be able to trick these bodyguards? I needed help. I thought of making a call to Emma. She picked up the call instantly. "Mia, where are you? What did your doctor say? Are you OK?" she asked worriedly. "Emma, I need your help. I cannot trust anybody here. I want to go away. I want to run away from here so far that nobody can reach me," I said, sobbing on the phone. "What happened? Why are you crying? Mia, calm down and tell me in detail," she tried to soothe me over the phone. "Xavier doesn’t love me. He only wants my Empire. I am pregnant, Emma. I want to go away from here. I don’t want to live with these selfish peo
Mia's POVI was so happy. I wanted to tell Xavier first about my pregnancy. I could not wait. I went straight to his office.His secretary tried to stop me."Ma'am, Mr. Leonardi is busy. Please wait for some time. Let me inform him about you," Xavier's secretary said."No, no. Please don't inform him. I want to surprise him. Because of the news I have, I can't wait to tell him anymore," I said, grinning and walking directly towards his office.I was his wife, and this news couldn't wait. I was sure he would be as happy as I was this time. I held the doorknob and was about to twist it to open the door when I heard someone saying,"I am sure you have heard about Mia's mother and how her character was. You already know why Antonio disgusted his wife," I heard. It was Xavier's father."Dad, you don't need to remind me of that," Xavier's frustrated voice came through the cracks of the slightly open door.After a long silence, I heard his father again saying,"Xavier, I hope you remember th
Mia's POV After school was over, Emma and Adam accompanied me to the shopping mall. We searched through so many shops, but I couldn’t find anything special for Xavier. Actually, he had everything. I couldn’t think of what to give him as a birthday present that would be unique and meaningful. Then I realized we didn’t have any wedding pictures or pictures together in our house. I found it exciting to make some collages of our wedding pictures. Of course, I had a whole month, so I could secretly capture more of our romantic moments together, get them printed, and fix them in some beautiful frames. Yes, that would be a great idea. So, we decided to visit some photo shops to select frames and book them for Xavier’s birthday. After returning from the shopping mall, I felt exhausted and tired, as if I had been away from home for a full day. But in reality, only a few hours of outings had worn me out. That’s why I thought it was necessary to see a doctor. I was just waiting for the re
Mia’s POV I have been feeling unwell for two weeks now. My condition was getting worse. I had ignored it so far. I hated visiting hospitals and taking medicine, but I had to go for a checkup before it was too late. So, I decided to see the doctor during the break between classes in the morning. I had an appointment. I was sitting in a gynecologist's clinic, waiting for my turn. My name was called. “Mrs. Mia Leonardi?” the receptionist asked. “Yes,” I replied. “You can go inside,” she informed me. I stood up and thanked her. I went to see the doctor. I knocked on the door and entered. She was a brunette in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging from her neck. “Mia Leonardi?” she asked to confirm. I nodded. “Please take a seat,” she gestured toward the chair opposite her. I settled on the chair, and she asked, “So, tell me, what kind of trouble are you facing?” “Doctor, nowadays, I’m feeling kind of sick. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I start feeling nauseous, and m
Mia's POV He left me on the bed and stormed into the bathroom, not answering me. I heard the faucet run, followed by the sound of soap pumped from a dispenser. He reappeared in the doorway moments later. He stalked back to the side of the bed in a demanding posture, and his urgent movements told me he would not stop. I lifted myself on my elbow to watch his next move. He picked up the strip of condoms and tore one package open. Oh, God. When had he done all the preparation? The air in the room thickened, and I felt light-headed. I was anxious yet excited to try something new with my husband, the love of my life. I am ready to discover new means of our relationship. He made me feel bold and brave enough to try forbidden things. He climbed onto the bed and flipped me again on my stomach. He straddled the back of my thighs. He unbuckled his belt and left it hanging on his waist. Popping out the button, he dragged the zipper down and dug his cock out of his boxers. He put the cond
Mia's POVI jerked at his dirty touch. He placed his hand flat on my belly and said, "Relax, baby"Is he serious? how can I relax when he is touching my forbidden hole?He watched me intently and said, “Today, I am going to claim this virgin hole of yours. But before this, I want to remind you that we have set some rules. If you don’t like me to proceed, you can say your safe word, and I will stop. Tell me, love, what is your safe word?” He wanted to be assured.“Red,” I whispered.“Good girl.” He smiled, paused for a few seconds, and looked deeply into my eyes.“I will never do anything in which you are not comfortable or scared. I want you to be relaxed and free from any restraint. Okay?” He finished placing his condition in front of me, and I was speechless.Though I knew he would never hurt me, I was still afraid to try new places.I pressed my lips before asking him my fear.“What if it hurts more than anything, and I cannot bear it?”He nodded in understanding and said, “It wi
Xavier's POV"Get ready for the punishment, baby girl," I said in a warning tone.Mia sucked a breath in. Her eyes widened."How are you going to punish me tonight?" she asked, biting her plump lips."We will see, baby. You are a very bad girl, and I have something for you which you will also enjoy," I said with a smirk as my mind was engaged in fantasizing about her punishment.I turned her to press her back on my front, and we swayed slowly. I rested my hand on her slim waist. I leaned over and rested my chin on her shoulder.She threw her hands on my neck and started grinding, sensually swaying her hips to the music.Just as I started enjoying her small act of seduction, the music stopped, and a voice disturbed us."Can I dance with you?"Mia abruptly turned towards Kara, who was standing there and smiling at me.Mia possessively wrapped her arms around me, leaning more on me. I really found it strange now that she had become insecure and possessive. I also encased her in my arms a
