Mia's POVThey ran the car at full speed and I was clueless where they were taking me. The car stopped and they dragged me out of the car and pulled me with them to a place that looked like a warehouse. They threw me into a dark, damp room. They injected me with some sedatives and I passed out. When I woke up again, I found myself in a dark room lying on the floor. My hands and legs were tied up. I tried to get up but failed in my attempt because my legs were tied. I prayed to God to please help me. I didn’t want to die like this. I still didn't get why they kidnapped me and brought me here. Nobody was going to give them money in exchange for me. Nobody was going to come and save me. I felt so helpless. The door opened and that scary man came in front of my eyes again. "So, you woke up? Good for you. Boss will be coming to meet you and then your fate will be decided, whether you will live or die." He smirked at me dangerously. He stalked near me and grabbed my chin. He leaned o
Xavier's POV "We are the Mafia." I said and Mia's eyes showed horror, which hurt me more. "What… what.. do you mean ? D..do you work for M… Mafia?" She stuttered. I didn't know that I should cry or laugh at her question. "Listen Mia, don't freak out." I paused for some moment to form the right words. So that I wouldn't scare her more than she already was. "I … don't work for the Mafia. In fact, I… am… a Mafia king… as a leader of the Mafia Empire."Her eyes grew wider if that was possible, and she covered her mouth as if she couldn't believe it. Her breathing became irregular. She was Litreally shaking with fear. I hated myself for this. I couldn't bear hatred and her being scared of me. Fuck "Listen, baby girl, and listen to me very carefully. I could never harm you. I won't ever hurt you. Always remember." I said in my pleading voice, and I never thought in my whole life that I would be pleading in front of someone, even a girl who was also my wife. "Trust me once, Mia, and
Xavier’s pov. My sleep was disturbed by the ringing of my phone. I groaned and picked up my phone from the side table to see who was calling so early in the morning.I groaned more when I saw the name of the person flashing on my phone screen to spoil my mood. As much as I didn’t want to take this call, I had to pick it up.I swiped the answer button and slid out of bed as I didn’t want to disturb Mia’s sleep. I slowly opened the door and went to the balcony.“Dad,” I said over the phone.“Xavier! I heard Mia was kidnapped. How did that happen? How could someone kidnap Leonardi’s daughter-in-law?” He roared on the phone.“I haven’t found out, but I am working on it, dad. My people are trying to find out who is behind Mia’s kidnapping.” I told him but I knew he wouldn’t calm down.His ego was bigger than anything in this world.“It’s a shame. Xavier, if people know about it, they will think that we are not as powerful as we could protect our ladies . You have to find out the culprits
Mia’s pov. After lunch, Sam came with a designer and makeup artist. They brought so many dresses and accessories with them. I was thrilled to try these dresses on. They were so beautiful, just like I had seen in my dreams. Kara also used to wear those expensive and limited edition dresses and I secretly wished to try one of hers that time, but I never got any chance. They both introduced themselves. The designer’s name was Ronnie and the makeup artist was Mackenzie. Mr Leonardi… I mean Xavier went into another room for his conference call. Ronnie, my designer, asked me to try on some dresses. First, I tried a silver one-shoulder short dress which came to my knees. The dress was nice but it was too shimmery for me. I told them that I didn’t like this dress on me and they agreed. Then I picked up a long red gown with a halter neck and it had a high slit towards my mid thighs. I wore that dress and it hugged my body very well and it made me look somewhat sexy and gave me s
Mia's pov.I couldn't be wrong about Diva. She was looking at Xavier like she was still in love with him. She was watching him as if she wanted to swallow him whole. Hell!! She was literally drooling on my husband. When Xavier introduced me as his wife, I saw a burning gaze in her eyes for a moment, as if she wanted to kill me with her looks. But she masked it with a smile on her face. What an actress! No doubt she was a successful model. "Nice to meet you, Mia." She said, stretching her hand towards me. "It's a pleasure meeting you as well." I said and stretched my hand ,but Xavier caught my hand midway and held it possessively. "Excuse us ,Diva. I have some more important people to meet. I will catch you later." He said in his cold voice and took me towards the other side of the hall to introduce me to many people in his society. They were all looking at me like I was an alien. But then they saw Xavier glaring at them, their expression changed and they didn't dare to look at
Xavier's pov.I ordered our drinks and waited to get them ready. "Xavier!" Diva came and wrapped her hand around my forearm. I rolled my eyes at her being stubborn and slowly peeled her hand off my arm. I could see her scowling from the corner of my eyes. But I didn't bother to look at her. I pretended to ignore her. "Xavier, I want to talk to you. Please come with me." She said, leaning on my shoulder. God, this girl was so shameless to flirt with a married man. I shifted and moved away from her and said, "Why don't you get it that there is nothing to talk about between us. So better you stop playing your games and move on.""Please Xavier, talk to me once." She pleaded again. "Okay! I am listening." I said, and turned to face her. I had to finish it all over. I didn't want anything to be left between us. "Not here." She glanced over her shoulder. "I have so many things to tell you. There are so many people around us. If someone hears , it will be news." She said with her pup
Mia's pov. O my God! He kissed me in front of everyone. My brain was still dizzy and not working properly after his soul snatching kiss. Everyone was shouting and cheering around us as if they were enjoying the little show Xavier had put in front of them. He explained to me the incident with Diva that happened in the mall and how she tricked him again in the room. He didn’t have to explain, but he still did. And it touched the bottom of my heart. "And you have reminded me that I have to punish you for running away after seeing me with another girl. Whereas you should have come and slapped that girl who dared to kiss your husband." He said and my eyes widened in shock. Was he serious? Was he really going to punish me? I was really scared. Because I knew punishment could be so bad. But then he leaned over and whispered into my ear in his low, deep and husky voice so sensually that it took my breath away. "Be ready for your punishment, baby girl." My breath hitched in m
Mia's pov. "Are you ready, baby girl for your punishment?" His eyes darkened as he measured my body from head to heel. I could not speak, just stood there licking my dry lips waiting for his punishment. He sat on the edge of the bed and parted his legs wider, resting his elbow on his knees. He watched me for a long moment and said, "Come here." He gestured his head to come near him. His eyes darkened more dangerously. And I obeyed like a lovesick fan girl. My body was acting on its own as if he had done some kind of hypnotism on me. "Over my knees." He ordered in his dominant voice and I moved ahead and sat on his lap. He flipped me and bent me over his lap. My head was hanging down in the air and my ass was up over his knees. I gasped when he pulled my dress up to my waist. My black lace panties would be visible to his eyes. His large palm caressed my ass. I shivered as a sensation ran down my spine. "Beautiful." His voice was deep and low, filled with desire, making
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.
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
