Andrea Valerio's POV. I got a call from an unknown number saying that if I wanted to know about the missing will of Lady Valerio, I had to come to the given address. I found it fishy at first and didn't want to believe that unknown phone call. But then I decided against my conscious mind. What if he was true and really knew about the will? I was desperate to know about the will and was curious why someone was so interested in that will. I wanted to meet that person and find out why he wanted me to meet him. I hid my gun in my garter belt under my dress. I didn't tell Antonio anything about this. I sent my driver off duty and drove the car myself to the address. I reached the mentioned place on time. My heart was pounding in my chest when I took steps toward a big building. I still could not guess the name of who could have known that I would be interested in Lady Valerio's will. Because I successfully maintained my clean image in society. My main concern was why he called me ins
Mia's POV Xavier returned after taking that call. He seemed somewhat off. I tried to talk to him about what was bothering him, but he changed the topic every time, saying nothing was serious enough for me to worry about. After breakfast, we went to our room and had a jacuzzi bath together. It was so hot to sit on his lap, being all naked and touching skin to skin, while he washed me. He enjoyed bathing me in the tub. He took a loofah and began gently rubbing my back. His hands glided to the front, grabbing and massaging my breasts. His other hand moved under the water and squeezed my butt. He kissed my neck, nibbling my skin, making me moan. I didn't realize it when he entered me and began thrusting. I let myself get lost in our intimate bath. After our bath, he made love to me in our bed. This had become our favorite bath time routine. He was slowly making me crave him more. My body began responding to his touch and closeness. We used to sleep together, wrapped in each other's arm
Mia's POV We spent the whole week on the yacht. Xavier made love to me in every corner and in every room of the yacht. He was so hot, wild, and dominating. I liked this side of him. But at the same time, he pampered me and showered me with care and affection. I was really lucky to have him as my husband. Before our marriage, I was scared to think that marrying a rich and handsome man like Xavier would be the nightmare of my life. I was so wrong. I was happy that he was nothing like my father. Not every man in this world is heartless. He showed me so many times that he had a heart, but only for me. He was so gentle and spoke so softly to me, unlike when he was with others. During our stay on the yacht, Xavier kept switching between a stressed and happy mood. But I knew something was bothering him. He didn’t want me to be worried about anything. He told me to be stress-free, happy, and always ready for him. Oh my God! He can make me come just by talking with his dirty tongue.
Mia's POV I woke up hearing the sound of the main door opening. Throwing my legs down, I sat up straight on the couch. Xavier came in. He was holding his jacket in his hand, and the tie hung low around his neck. He had folded his sleeves to the elbow, and the top buttons of his white shirt were also open. He was looking tired and exhausted. "Hey!" He smiled at me and then glanced at his wristwatch. "You are awake. Why didn't you sleep?" I stood up and went towards him. I took his bag and jacket from him. "I was waiting for you," I replied. He wrapped an arm around me, and we headed towards our bedroom. Ascending the stairs, I asked him, "How was your day?" "Hmmm... it was... good. How was your day?" he asked me back. "I went to school and brought so much pending work home. I spent the whole evening completing my pending work," I was blabbering, trying to make an excuse to ask him about coming with me to my parents' house. "Ok. It seemed to be a long day for you. But the good
Mia's POVI was full of mixed emotions when I reached my parents' home. I was going to see my father after almost a month and return to the house where I lived for eighteen years of my life. The car stopped at the door of the Valerio mansion, and my heart started thumping loudly in my chest due to nervousness. My old family never liked me. I was reconsidering my decision to come here for lunch, and Xavier wasn't with me. Oh God, help me. Since childhood, I used to be nervous around them, and this habit couldn't change in a few days. I took a deep breath. I was now Mrs. Leonardi, and I didn't need to be intimidated by anyone.The bodyguard in the front seat of my car stepped out and held the door open for me. When I slid out of the car and placed my feet on the ground, looking at the house, all the memories of my past years in this house came flooding back into my mind, making me more nervous. I didn't have good memories here.When I entered the hall, Andrea and my father were sitting
Andrea Valerio's POV The drug we added to her juice started working, and she passed out. When she mentioned that Xavier would also be coming, I literally panicked. I had to think and do something quickly before he arrived. I didn't want to agree when Marco told me about his plan. I was afraid of being caught and its consequences. But when we discussed his plan in detail, his offer was tempting. He made me believe his plan was foolproof and that we would be unharmed. Only one person would be at risk, Mia. I found that no one would care about Mia if something happened to her. My only worry was Xavier. He had become careful and worried about Mia. But they were only married for a month. He wouldn’t bother about her either and would forget her. She meant nothing to anyone in this world. So what was the need to keep her alive when her death would give us some benefits? After having her sign the papers and taking her life, we would be the richest and happiest people in this world. "Andr
Mia's POV I woke up startled when cold water splashed on my face. I forced open my eyes as I was still half awake. My mind was still not working properly for some reason. This only pointed to one thing: I was given something to lose my consciousness. I saw I was tied to a chair. My hands and legs were also tied. "Wake up, you slut," I heard a manly voice, and when I looked up, I saw Uncle Marco standing surrounded by scary-looking men. "Un... Uncle Marco. Why am I kept tied here? What's going on?" I asked him while tugging at the ropes. "Because you will go to hell, which is the most suitable place for you to reside in," he said with a scowl on his face. The men behind him started laughing at me, making me more nervous. "Oh, you dumb girl, you didn't get my point. I mean, if you want to meet your mother, I can help you with that," he said, mocking me. I frowned as I heard about my mother. Why the hell did he want to insult her even after her death? "Don't you dare t
Mia's POVMy heart stopped beating, and my breath caught in my throat. I could not believe what had just happened in front of me.That bullet Uncle Marco fired was meant for me. But Xavier stepped in between. He took that bullet in his back while shielding me from death."XAVIER!"All the air left my lungs as I screamed his name.He fell to the ground. I knelt beside him and placed his head on my lap. His eyes were closed, his face pale. I couldn’t stand seeing him like that."Xavier, open your eyes. Why did you do that? Why did you take that bullet? Wake up, please," I cried, but he didn’t open his eyes. I gently shook him, desperate for him to wake up and look at me. My tears began pouring down, falling onto his face. But he remained still, not moving a finger. I felt like my own life was slipping away.I heard chaos around me. People were shouting and running toward us."Ma’am, please let us take him to the hospital," I heard Sam asking me to let go of Xavier. But my heart and body
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
