Xavier's POV Finally, I sat in my car on my way to go home. It was a really long day for me. Mia called me when I was in the middle of an argument between the gangs. They were not ready to listen. But they had to go according to my rules. Otherwise, I would have thrown them out of the country. I knew that because I had been busy for the last few days and could not give Mia proper attention and time. When Matteo picked up her call on the phone and talked to her, he said that she was fuming in anger and threatening me to come home right then. I was amused to think that only she could threaten me in this whole world. I was helpless because I could not leave two raging gangs there to kill and die. I also knew that she was not actually having a problem because guards were twenty-four seven on duty outside the mansion. Inside the house, servants were continuously checking on her. She might be feeling lonely. I missed her too. I sent Matteo to check on her. I knew I could trust
Xavier's POVFinally, she said what I wanted to hear. How could I stop myself after hearing her confession? But today was not the day I would claim her. Bending my face down, I touched my lips to hers and kissed her with everything in me. It only ignited more desire in me. When I pulled up, she was breathless and panting, looking at me with her mesmerizing half-open blue eyes. "Baby, I'm dying to. But I am too tired. I doubt I can satisfy you with my hundred percent," I said with a smirk. Her eyes widened before she squeaked, "Ewww." She pushed me to sit on the bed and hid her face between her palms. I couldn't help but laugh at her cuteness. I peeled her hands off her face and held her beautiful face in my hand. "Look at me, angel," I pleaded. But she kept her eyes closed. "Look at me, love," I insisted again in a gentle voice, and she slowly opened her eyes. "Tell me, what do you want?" I asked, looking at her beautiful face. I was dying to give her what she needed.
Mia's POV I stirred on the bed. My whole body was aching so good. I blushed to remember last night Xavier made me cum so many times with his wicked tongue and long fingers, and his hot mouth until I passed out because of exhaustion. Suppose he was so hot when he was tired, how he would be in his active form. I blushed hard thinking about that. When I opened my eyes and searched for Xavier, he was not there again. I felt slightly disappointed. I quickly freshened up and went down the hall. My gloomy mood quickly brightened up to see Xavier at the breakfast table. He was working on his laptop, and his coffee was untouched and turned cold on the table. "You haven't left for your office?" I asked, taking my seat to his left. A smile did not leave my face. After all, it's been a week since we had breakfast together. "Why, baby girl? Are you not happy to see me?" He teased me because he knew how happy I was to see him there. "No, I didn't mean that. I am pleasantly surprised to se
Mia's pov. I got admission with the help of Matteo and joined my old college. I didn't miss many classes. I could pick up where I left if I did extra studies. I was nervous on my first day at school after marriage. Before my marriage, I used to go by public transport, and now I ride a Mercedes followed by a car full of bodyguards. They also followed me to my classroom; everyone looked at me as if I came from another planet. This made me more nervous. Because I wasn't used to getting so much attention. Everyone in the school knew that I was Kara's half-sister, and they treated me nothing less than crap. They enjoyed treating me as low as they could. And the worst thing was they ignored me. But I was relieved in that way, so I didn't get much attention. I was happy living in my own space. I didn't have a single friend because nobody wanted a poor, ugly girl to be friends with. While Kara was a very popular and famous cheerleader, good at extracurricular activities and studies, s
Mia's POV "Hey, I am Adam." A boy came and took a seat next to me. I recognised him. He was one of the scholars. He was very good at studies and always got higher ranks and the highest marks in every subject. This meant Xavier definitely brought something good into my life. Now everyone wanted to be friends with me. And the teacher came, and the class went silent. After the class was finished, I packed my bag. I had some free time till my next class. So I decided to go to the library. Both the bodyguards followed me. "Hey, Mia!" Adam came rushing and holding his bag on his shoulder. A bodyguard stopped him at some distance. "Please don't stop him. He is my friend." I requested that bodyguard, and he glanced between Adam and me, then removed his hand from Adam's shoulder. "Wow, dude, you got your security following you everywhere." He said, widening his eyes in surprise and rubbing his shoulder where the bodyguard had caught him. I just shook my head and smiled. "Emma said tha
Mia's POV All the classes were over, and I was going towards the parking lot when I saw Kara flirting with a famous swimmer of our school. As much as I knew, he might be very rich and famous. Otherwise, she hadn't given him time and attention to him. Her eyes snapped towards me, and I bowed my head down. She still had her effect on me. "Mia?" She shouted my name. "What are you doing here in college?" She left that boy there and walked towards me. I halted at my steps, holding my breath, afraid of being insulted by her again. She and her friends used to make fun of me at school. "I... I... I... joined the college again to complete my course." I stuttered nervously. "And Xavier allowed you?" She said as if she couldn't believe me. I just nodded my head. "What have you done to make him agree that he allowed you to join the school?" She said, mocking me, and soon, her gang also joined. They started laughing at me and taunting me about my marriage. "Wow, I didn’t think he’d be
Mia's POV I kissed him with everything in me. I didn't care that everyone was watching us at school. At that moment, Xavier and I only mattered, and everything else faded. I heard someone screaming Xavier's name. He pulled away to see who was disturbing us. Kara was standing there looking at me, shooting daggers from her eyes. Her eyes moved to Xavier and changed from showing hatred to happiness. Our bodyguards were stopping her from coming near us. "Xavier!" she called again. But Xavier didn't respond. "Let me go. She is my sister," she pleaded to the bodyguards. I looked at Xavier, and he wasn't in a good mood as he was a few minutes ago. His face had turned expressionless with his intimidating aura emitting from his body. I gestured to the bodyguard to let her come. She ran towards us, looking between Xavier and me. "Oh God, Mia!" She turned to me again. "Can't you just stop making us embarrassed? He is your husband, for God's sake. Leave your habit of making out in publi
Mia's POV Xavier wrapped a hand around my shoulder and started towards his car. But Kara jumped to come in front of him. "Wait, handsome! Are you still angry with me? Look, it wasn't my fault that our parents changed the bride at the last moment," she said, making her voice low and seductive and batting her eyelashes. Oh my god! She was flirting with my husband in front of me. And that boy who was with her a few minutes before was also standing there watching her as she changed 180 degrees, just in a few minutes. "Ms. Kara Valerio, you don't need to mention that. I am happy that Mia was my bride, and now she is my wife. I don't need anyone. If everything is clear between us, I will take my leave." I was scared to look at Xavier's cold and stone face. Now I could understand why many people in this world were afraid of him, hence making him a mafia king. Taking me with him, Xavier again began to walk. But Kara placed her hand on his chest. Xavier's eyes turned red as his fac
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
