From the VVIP seat Mia was sitting in, she could see the view of Denver from here. Her gaze swept across the fine dining restaurant, but still the feeling of being watched and the curious gazes of all the visitors were so clear that it felt bitter in her mouth as their gazes gave judgment.
Mia glanced at Jaxon who seemed oblivious to his surroundings. He occasionally asked her to talk about anything unrelated to her personal life or the Red Cage organization, even more to ask her personal life.
"Are you on purpose or are you just pretending not to know that people have been watching our table?" Mia finally asked because she was getting fed up with Jaxon's indifferent attitude towards the surroundings.
One of the man's eyebrows raised slightly as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Are you bothered?" Jaxon asked after taking a sip of wine and wiping his mouth with a white napkin.
"Look around, they haven't stopped staring at us," whispered Mia, leaning slig
Rey watched the two men in front of him staring at each other as if they were about to lunge and make a fuss. He took several deep breaths and massaged his throbbing temples. If Jaxon really accepted the challenge that Gavin gave through his eyes, then he was sure Gavin would quickly hide behind his body and make him a sacrifice for Jaxon."Stop giving him f*ck me eyes, you'll be hurt yourself," Gideon said to Gavin, whose eyes couldn't take his eyes off Jaxon.“He started it,” Gavin said as he inched closer to Rey."You were the one who stirred up the commotion first, don't twist the facts." Nicko pulled Gavin out of the chair and dragged him to join Danny and Connor in a game of pool.After the source of the troublemaker was exiled, then Gideon opened the brown folder he had brought and handed it to Jaxon.“Last night Roxane disappeared from Magnolia. After we collected CCTV footage the last time she was seen with a woman.
Henrieta waited for Mia who had just come out of De La Crush. She ignored the confused look Joe gave her as she approached the honey-haired girl who was about to open the car door."Good afternoon," said Henrieta in front of Mia.Mia turned around, facing Henrieta, while Joe stood alert beside her with his arms crossed."Good afternoon," answered Mia confused because she did not know who the woman was."My name is Henrieta. I am Madam Gia Leonore's personal bodyguard, Mr. Jaxon's grandmother," said Henrieta introducing herself which Mia greeted awkwardly."What are you doing here?" asked Joe, looking at Henrieta suspiciously.Getting an accusing look from Joe made Henrieta laugh softly, she was very familiar with Joe's distrustful look.“Madam Gia asked me to take Miss Mia to her house,” explained Henrieta.Joe was about to take the phone, but Henrieta quickly snatched it from Joe's hand."It's okay, Joe. Jax
An elegant old woman was standing in front of Mia.She made Mia have a sense of deja vu by remembering her recent encounter with this woman at De La Crush."Nice to meet you, Mia. Finally I can bring you into this house and treat you as you should. How stubborn my grandson to hide such a beautiful woman in his private castle,” Gia chirped with a happy face even though she was a little irritated at her grandson, Jaxon.Gia smile widely when she looked at Mia while turning the girl's body three hundred and sixty degrees, so Mia felt dizzy for a moment. She had never been treated this enthusiastically from someone whom she had just met for the first time."I don't live with Jaxon, Ma'am," Mia answered half-dizzy, her body turnaround from side to side.“Ah, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that you often visiting the castle,” said the old woman stated the fact and suddenly she scream with happy voice. “Oh
The visitors at De La Crush were not as busy as this afternoon.Seeing that there was a time to stock up on dry goods, Mia went to the warehouse to help Hadley who was cleaning there."I heard you're very close to Jaxon," Hadley said halfway through the errand they were working on."Our relationship is not like the rumors you heard," Mia explained, she didn't want Hadley to misunderstand. It was enough for her to have many questions about her relationship with Jaxon."I just wanted to ask you to help me buy tickets for the show at the Red Cage," Hadley said shyly.Mia looked at Hadley as if the man asked the moon to come down to earth."Just buy it directly, just come to the Red Cage." Mia didn't want to set foot into the building if Jaxon didn't invite her.Moreover, asking for tickets to the show, Jaxon might just poke a hole in her head with his sharp eyes.Hadley took a deep breath.“It's very diffi
Joe instantly back off when he saw Jaxon rushing into the break room where Mia was laid. He looked at Jaxon nervously when he saw the slap mark on Mia's face that came from his own hand. Before Jaxon got near them, Joe caught the man and looked at him straight in the eye.“Mr. Bradwood, before you hit me, please give me a chance to explain,” Joe begged, trying to control his nervousness.Jaxon's brows furrowed when looking at his subordinates who seemed to be standing uncomfortably and looked so nervous.“Go ahead,” said Jaxon in surprise. He glanced at Mia, but the girl's face was hidden behind Slaine's body.“I wanted to wake Mia out of the hysteria, but I had no choice so I unknowingly slapped her hard. I am really sorry.”Hearing the explanation just now, Jaxon pushed Joe's body and walked quickly towards Mia who was still unconscious. He pulled her face in his palms. Soon, an an
Jaxon paced and waited for Timothy to come to Aurelia for several times. He couldn't even wait when the man didn't arrive. Jaxon told Snow to hasten Timothy's arrival there also for several times.“He's here,” said Snow, followed by Timothy from behind.Seeing Jaxon worried, Timothy didn't waste time. He approached Mia who was lying on a King Size bed in Jaxon's private room.Jaxon kept getting close to Mia while ignoring Timothy's questioning face.“There are no injuries on her body and her face will get better in a day. She just needed rest to calm down. If there are symptoms of trauma, please call me again. Right now, we can't do anything,” Timothy explained while examining Mia's body.The sound of Jaxon's breath that had been held back made Snow feel relieved too. Both were silent as Timothy returned to examine the girl in front of them.“It's okay, she's fine,” Timothy said rea
In the kitchen, Jaxon drank almost a bottle of mineral water. He moved restlessly, before finally choosing to sit on the kitchen island chair. His lips still trembled, numb from the kiss. He cursed himself for getting out of control. Luckily, Mia didn't slap him, or even screaming not to show his face again.The sound of footsteps from the living room made Jaxon's shoulders tense, but relaxed again when he realized it wasn't Mia's step. Jaxon could recognize a person's steps, so he knew who was coming before he saw first.“What's wrong Joe?” Jaxon went to the oven and decided to prepare Mia's dinner as promised.“There is an invitation for you Mr. Bradwood,” Joe replied as he placed a silver invitation on the table.Jaxon glanced at the paper briefly then focused back on the task at hand.“Okay,” said Jaxon sounding unconcerned.After Joe left, Jaxon finished preparing f
Mia woke up with a position in Jaxon's arms on the bed. She stared at Jaxon's sleeping face for some minutes. Her fingers touched Jaxon's long eyelashes. The man's body moved to get a soft touch from her. Seeing this reaction, Mia smiled mischievously and touched Jaxon's cheek with the tip of her index finger, then left touches as smooth as cotton along the lines of his handsome face.“Stop it,” Jaxon whispered hoarsely. His eyes were still closed as his grip wrapped around Mia's wrist, stopping the girl's movement in midair. “Don't tease me, Dolcezza.”Mia chuckled, making Jaxon growl and open his eyes immediately.“You know, I haven't been in touch with a woman for a long time, so don't tease me if you don't want to end up under my body.”Jaxon's voice turned heavy and sensual, causing Mia to unconsciously swallow her saliva and immediately pull her arm from Jaxon's grip.“As expec
