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
Mia's POV Xavier made an appointment with the city's best OBGYN for my regular checkup. He was getting impatient waiting for an appointment in the doctor's clinic. I could feel that from his body language and the way he was anxiously pacing around the room. When the doctor called us in, I finally took a breath of relief. "Okay. So you are approximately six weeks pregnant," the doctor said, and I looked at Xavier's face. He frowned. "What do you mean by approximately? You have test reports. Can’t you tell us the exact time? Calculate and tell us exactly how many weeks she is pregnant," he asked in his cold and intimidating voice. The doctor looked at him. "Mr. Leonardi, we can't calculate the exact timing in the test report. We only get to calculate the approximate weeks or months according to the growth and development of the fetus and the last date of the menstrual cycle," she tried to explain. "If you can't tell an exact time, then why bother to take out blood for those stu
Mia's POV He promised my dad that he would keep me safe. He was damn serious. I knew that he never failed to protect me. He even risked his life for me so many times. I was so blind not to see his love for me until he confessed himself. Maybe this cruel world, the betrayal of people, and their inhuman behavior towards me made my heart shut for any hope. That was why I could not see his love and care every time, while he always put me before everything in his life, showing that I was special and important in his life. And I knew he would always protect me. I could never be safe anywhere more than in his arms. "I know, Xavier. I know that very well, and I understand living with a Mafia supremo is not so easy. I accept that I myself gave you my daughter. But... I want assurance. I want you to keep her safe and fine, and how do I believe you are not after the Valerio empire? How do I believe you are not as greedy as your father?" My dad asked again, making Xavier frown. "What do you w
Mia's POV He never hesitated to confess his love for me. For the first time in my life, I felt wanted and loved. He used to worship my body so lovingly, like I was made of glass and could be broken by a hard touch. I really liked to be pampered by my husband. I couldn't believe that Xavier was really asking me to marry him again. I felt like I was in my dreams. I never thought my prince charming would propose to me in his bed while making love to me. How could I say no when I had already given my whole life to him? I so eagerly wanted to confess my love as he did, and finally, it was out of my mouth. But what surprised me was that he didn't react when I told him I loved him very much. After our intense love-making session, we were lying there on the bed, soaking in joy and satisfaction. I rested my head on his chest, and he stroked my hair. I could feel his heavy breathing. His chest was moving up and down as he stopped himself from doing something. I trailed my finger on his
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
