“You know, it's my head that's hurt, not my leg,” Mia said while leaning her head on Jaxon's chest.
That man had carried her out of the hospital, even as far as Aurelia Castle.
Once out of the car, Mia protested to walk alone, but Jaxon didn't give Mia a choice so she couldn't help but be in his arms again.
“I know, but I don't want you to be out of my sight,” Jaxon said as he tightened his grip on Mia's lower knees while one hand holding her back.
Mia also sighed, because she felt so comfortable being in his arms that almost made her fall asleep because Jaxon's slow steps slightly lulled her.
“I feel a little tired,” Mia mumbled sounding sleepy.
Jaxon smiled and let Mia fall asleep in his arms. He crossed the living room, towards the second floor where their room was.
Gia who saw the two of them just sat quietly on the sofa without interrupting, as well as Snow who was giving instructions to the tw
One by one, the Red Cage members came with angry and annoyed faces. They had just been contacted by Jaxon and told that yesterday Romero went to the hospital where Mia was being treated. In fact, Gavin, who usually updated with the news in Denver, was also extremely upset because Jaxon told all his subordinates to be silent for a while, so that there would be no unnecessary commotion.“Why are you only explaining all this now? Wasn't that yesterday we were all in Aurelia?” Gavin grunted as he pulled out the sheet of paper that Danny had been reading earlier, but Gavin's brow furrowed in confusion as he read what was there.“Danny, did you change your profession to become a gossip reporter? Why would you bring a paper with a story like this into the meeting room?” slurred Gavin while continuing to read a three-page paper that has a narrative about someone's love story.Danny snatched the paper from Gavin's hands and put it back in hi
Finding two men always following her since leaving the apartment, Mia became extremely upset. She glanced in the rearview mirror several times, at the car Joe and Fritz were driving. For some reason, since leaving the hospital, Jaxon put two bodyguards. He even put Fritz, who was his personal bodyguard, with Mia.“Does he want a fight?” Mia groaned in annoyance while looking for a cell phone to call Jaxon.It was only as soon as her old car was parked in De La Crush's yard that Mia actually contacted him.On the second ring, Jaxon picked up the call.“Dolcezza?” said the man in a soft voice on the other end of the line.“Tell Fritz not to follow me anymore. Just one bodyguard already pisses me off, now you're giving me two. I don't hate Fritz, but I just don't want two pairs of eyes always following me,” Mia explained while looking in the rearview mirror.Now, the two men got out of their
Mia ran into Ruth who was busy serving when she left Grant's office. She saw Ruth's gaze at a glance that the woman was still angry, but she ignored it because she didn't want to make a fuss.Mia still clearly remembered how she had fought with Roxane last time, and she still carried her guild because until the end she didn't get to make up with her before her tragic death. She just didn't want to have the same regrets.After passing through the door, Mia met Vero who was about to go inside.At first, She saw her arrival, and immediately smiled to say hello, but Vero, who had just realized Mia's presence, stopped walking. Mia's smile disappeared instantly, finding Vero's unusually unfriendly face.There was a trace of anger behind the eyes of the woman in front of her, confusing Mia even more.“Hey, Vero,” Mia greeted with a doubtful smile.She didn’t reply her called and just ignore her. In fact, without saying anyth
Joe looked at Vero whose eyes were bloodshot after Mia left with Fritz.The woman looked fragile with obvious sadness, even Joe's anger that had turned into pity. He also handed a handkerchief to Vero who started to sob.“Mia's presence reminds me of the deaths of some of my friends. Yesterday was Julie, now….,” Vero cried, unable to pronounce the name of her best friend murdered a few nights ago.“Should I wait until I become the next victim? While Mia still doesn't know anything around?” asked Vero in a slightly raised voice. “Look what that woman brought to this town.” Vero's hands move in all directions. “The corpse in De La Crush, Slaine, who was almost run over by an unknown person and injured several times in a short period of time! You even almost died! But notice how blind she is going around!”Vero's anger grew even more after she explained at length what had happened there.
Mia’s head turned to Jaxon who was still holding his breath with his eyes closed. Her fingers touched his cheek lightly and asked, “what was that earlier?”Hearing her question, Jaxon’s eyes opened. He glanced at Mia with a furrowed brow in surprise.“How was what?”A blush spreads throughout Mia’s body, including her ears and neck which always amazed him every time she showed an expression of shyness that was completely pure without being made.Mia cleared her throat and whispered softly, “The one just now,” she said as she tried to cover her face with the blanket.Seeing her expression which was having a hard time making eye contact with him, Jaxon began to understand what Mia was asking, and that made Jaxon laugh so hard that he got a small hit in the chest.Instantly, Jaxon tilted his body with his right hand on his head, while his eyes stared mischievously at Mia whose entire skin tu
Mia could hear his strong heartbeat and deep breath his unique masculine scent.There was still a trace of the after-struggle pheromone emanating from his golden-skinned, and she didn’t stop searching for the scent until she pressed her nose against his exposed skin.Jaxon sighed as he stared up at the ceiling, casting a spell to keep himself cool.“Dolcezza,” he whispered hoarsely. “I think we’ll sleep in separate places tonight,” said Jaxon who stopped Mia for a moment.She lifted her head and looked up at Jaxon who was flat-faced with a clenched jaw.Not understanding anything, Mia also looked at Jaxon with a hurt look, as if something was wrong with her until Jaxon’s mind changed not to sleep in the same bed.Seeing her teary eyes and a change in her facial expression that was starting to cloudy, Jaxon exhaled slowly as he hugged her back.“Dolcezza, I didn’t mean to offend you
Jaxon asked Fritz to call Vero to come to the Red Cage that morning because there was something he wanted to talk to her.Hearing Jaxon’s orders, Fritz was silent for a long time and did not immediately respond to his superior’s orders.“Why are you still standing there, Fritz?” asked Jaxon who was gathering some documents on the table.He only glanced at his subordinates briefly, because he was busy sorting the documents that he would bring to give to Gavin regarding the development of their club, GC.Remembering the name of the club, Jaxon felt like he want to banging his head, because he just agreed when Gavin named their club Great Cock, which Jaxon immediately negotiated to become GC, because he couldn’t understand why his best friend had to name the club to sound so ... horrible.Luckily, everyone thought that the club name was the initials of Gavin Caleston, not the real name that was listed in every official do
Vero was standing in the middle of the Red Cage bar room, a place where all the Red Cage members usually gathered and spent their time drinking, playing chess, and billiards.One of her legs moved from right to left or vice versa due to extreme nervousness. Her head looked around, at the rows of pictures, paintings on the walls and the furniture in the room.This was the first time for her to enter the building, because not everyone could enter without the access granted by the members of the organization.Mason who was currently patrolling the Red Cage just watched Vero silently. He was ordered to pick up the woman early in the morning and bring her here confused and frightened.No matter how many times Mason comforted her, she would still cry and say she would not repeat the same mistake, even though Mason didn’t know what it was.“You can sit down, Miss, because Mr. Bradwood will still be here in an hour,” said Mason.
