Mia's POV People have believed in the legend that wishing upon a shooting star makes the wish come true for a long time. I never believed in such myths, I never believed in any myths at all. I never even wished upon a shooting star, I just said a few words in my heart. I only said the wishing words in my heart, I never said it out loud and I never wished on a shooting star. How on earth can this be happening to me?They say drinking to excess can cause you to fall asleep more easily or even to black out. That is exactly what happened to me. The sex and alcohol were like sedatives to me, I fell asleep like a baby, relishing the warmth he provided, and I kept wishing to be in his arms forever. I only woke up when my bladder signaled to my brain that I need to pee. I tried getting off the bed to run to the restroom and ease my discomfort, but I was held in a firm grip by a gorgeous stranger that made my first time a memorable one. His grip on me was firm, and I can’t say that I didn’t
Still Mia's POV“W… W… What are you doing here?” I stuttered. But he just smiled and walked towards us, then he leaned forward and whispered in my ear, “Hello… Sofia. Why did you have to leave so earlyI missed you,” He let out teasingly. My face took on a deep blush as I tried to look away from him, but he wouldn’t let me. He pinned my gaze, his arms went around my waist and he pulled me closer. I should be scared right now…I have no idea what is going on, I don’t know what he is doing here in the Osborne’s mansion. I should be freaking out, I’m supposed to be nervous because my secret affair is about to be exposed. Surprisingly, though, I do not feel any of these things. I feel my blood rushing through my veins, and felt my heart beating like never before. It felt so good to be in his arms again. I did not realize how much I missed him until now. I was lost in his gaze, I couldn’t take my eyes away from him, I didn’t even want to. Being back in his arms felt like being back home
Drake’s POV“You look so beautiful tonight, and you smell delicious too,” I whispered in her ear, snuggling closer to her, on the couch. I chuckled when she elbowed me and shrugged me off, then she moved to the other end of the couch, putting some distance between us. The documents have been signed and the dinner was concluded peacefully. Everything was quiet after Riley left, dad apologized to the Remingtons, and he insisted that the dinner proceeds as planned. And after dinner, the entire family moved to the sitting room where we say in different positions, conversing amongst ourselves, and bonding like a family like my dad always demanded. I have been trying to get her to loosen up, a while ago, I succeeded in getting her to calm down. I got her to think about the time we spent together last night, the pleasures and comfort that we brought each other. I pleasured her right there in the dining room, and she fell for it. She was all mine again, I could see the rapid rise and fall o
Still Drake’s POV“You bastard!How could you play me for a fool?” she yelled angrily as she hit me repeatedly with her soft, gentle palm. She looks furious, and I know hitting me is her way of venting her anger. It feels weird because I don’t feel any pain, on the contrary, her hands are so soft and warm. And when she touches me with her gentle palm, I feel a jolt of electric current flow all over my body. I wouldn’t have stopped her if we were alone at home. But her actions attracted the attention of a few guards and maids hanging around the premises. I held her hand to stop her from hitting me, and I glared furiously at her,“Hit me one more time, and I swear, I’ll make you regret it.” l warned her sternly. From the nervous look on her face, I could tell that she is a bit frightened by my reaction. I didn’t mean to get her agitated, but I had to be strict with her so the others won’t dare to challenge my authority.“Get the hell out of here, I need a few minutes with my wife,” I ord
Carey’s POV“Please, don’t hurt me, I can’t bear it, I can’t…I will never see Drake again, I will never say a word to anyone. Please don’t hit me,” I pleaded hysterically. But he wasn’t paying attention to my pleas, I could as well be talking to a statue because he acted oblivious to my pleadings. He only smirked as he walked closer to me. I tried to take a few steps back, but he grabbed me and forced me to look into his devilish eyes, “I never said anything to him, I promise. Drake was just being curious, he was only looking out for me,Wait,Please stopWhat the hell are you doing, you have no right to order me around, you can’t do this to me.What the hell is this, what did I ever do to you, why are you doing this to me?Wait, stop what are you doing?I never said w word to him, I swear it, I promise, please stop” I continued pleading hysterically. He pulled me down onto his lap, controlling me so I was laying across his thighs. I could feel his rock-hard dick as it touches my sto
Drake’s POVI’ll kill her…I’ll fucking kill her!Yes, you guessed right, I’m referring to Mia Remington. God, she is so stubborn. I thought we were off to a good start, I thought we were beginning to understand ourselves. When I told her we would have a conversation when we got home, she didn’t say a word to me, and I assumed that she is starting to accept me as her husband.Who would have thought that Mia had other plans?She didn’t say a word to me, I mean, not one word. When we got home, I instructed the maids to whip up a light dinner for her. I noticed she didn’t eat much during dinner because of the whole drama tonight. I didn’t want her to go to bed hungry and I need her to feel well-relaxed before I bring up the subject of our marriage.The maids informed me that a few of her stuff was delivered to the house while we were away. I guess her parents wanted her to get comfy in my house. I made mental note to thank them for their understanding later, and I led her to the dining wh
Mia’s POVHoly Shit!What the hell is wrong with me?I just made Drake very angry, but that’s not the main problem now. The main issue is that I am not feeling remorseful about it, I think I love the fact that he is furious with me, it kind of gives me the kick, it kicking turns me on. I’ve been acting like a jerk all night. The thing is, I am not even sure why I’m being angry with Drake, I don’t even feel angry anymore. At first, I was angry because I felt betrayed and used, but I thought about it during the drive to his house and I realized that this is what I’ve been praying for, it’s like a dream come true.I never loved Riley, I only accepted to marry him because it was the only way I could save my family. But after he cheated, I didn’t know what to do anymore, I didn’t even want to be seen standing next to him, let alone marrying him. I hated him for cheating, merely thinking about him makes me want to gag. And after spending just one night with Drake, I felt loved and desired,
Still Mia’s POVI just finished blabbing like a fucking lunatic and I feel so ashamed of myself, but when I looked up at him, he had the brightest smile on his face and I wondered what could be going through his mind. He may think that I’m crazy, what the hell was I thinking, why would I say such words to him, what is wrong with me?“Hmmmm…I never realized that I was this gorgeous, my lady,” he teased, making me blush.“Wait a minute,What if I wasn’t this gorgeous, would you still be attracted to me?” He asks. “Hmmm, let me think about it,” I responded playfully, smiling as I tipped my head, feigning a thoughtful look. He chuckled at my reaction, then he pulled me closer, tipping his head to align with mine,“You’re so cute,” he mumbled and moved forward, closing the gap between us. Time stopped when his lips met mine, but the flutter only intensified. My heart pounded in my chest as my knees got weaker. I could only focus on how soft he felt against her mouth, how addictively he inv
Still Drakes POV“I'm so sorry, Drake. I was right there with you and I couldn’t save your woman. I failed you, and I failed Mia. Riley is a bastard, if he were still alive, I would have killed him myself. I’m glad he is dead, he is a fucking monster!You can’t blame yourself for this, Drake, it’s not your fault and it’s not her fault as well.” Liam let out sadly, trying to cheer me up.“I know it’s hard to believe that you just lost a child, but look on the bright side. Your wife is okay, and your brother will never hurt her again because you took care of him already. She is going to wake up in a few hours, and she is going to be okay, I promise. I was a bit busy when you walked in, that is why I couldn’t attend to her myself. You can relax your mind, Mr. Osborne, I’m going to take care of her, I’ll make sure she is okay, that is a promise.” Doctor Larry assured me. I could see her lying peacefully on the bed while the nurses cleaned her up. I can’t call her parents yet, I’m too asha
Still Drakes POV“You are Mine, you bitch!” he let out harshly as he kept hitting her across the face. After a little while, he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a towel and he placed it on her nose, forcing her to breathe on it. I’m guessing that it is soaked in chloroform, and he wants her to pass out so he can rape her, just like he did with the other girls that Casey spoke to me about. “Riley!Please, stop!Please…” she cried miserably. He ignored her and he kept pressing the towel to her nose while his other hand skillfully worked on her button, trying to take off her cloth. I don’t know why my guards are taking too long, but I know I have to do something right now, or in going to regret this for the rest of my life. I gazed around me, and I saw my guys being held down just like me. Liam and I had the most guys, we had four guys on each person, and they were so rough and mean. But I know I can break free from them easily, I just need little assistance in taking them ou
Still Drakes POV“Kill me, Drake!You can hurt me if you chose to, lock me up and kill me if that would make us even. But leave them out of these, they are just my business partners, and they have no business with you. Let them go, Drake!I could get the Russian government involved in this, I could use you for assaulting my foreign business partners, and you could go to jail, Drake. Let them go and I promise…”“Oh, Really?Do you mind telling me what kind of business partners they are to you?Like, seriously, I want to know why you are pleading for their lives when you have never done anything like this for your family. Are your business partners more important than your family?” I asked him mockingly, earning me a hard look from him. His girlfriend was standing behind him, tapping on her phone. I guess she is trying to reach someone, or maybe she is trying to call the captains and confirm if they are truly in danger. I guess she doesn’t want to believe that her coalition with them is
Riley’s POV“Get the fuck out of here, Riley, and stay the hell out!I don’t want to deal with your silly ass today, I ain’t got time for shit!” he yelled in my face, making me snicker in disgust. I got reliable information from a trusted source. I was informed that Austin Foster is in Drake's custody, and I’ve been asked to take him out as soon as possible. He is a threat to everything we have worked so hard to achieve, so he has to go. I’ve been trying to force Drake to fight back, I wanted to see how far he would go, I want to see if he would hurt his own brother. I know he would never treat me like he treats his other enemies. But I want to know the length he can go to hurt me, and that is why I’m daring him to fight back. The last time I’d dared him this way, I ended up in jail for a while, and then I was out again. If throwing me in jail is the worst my Mafia brother can do to me, then it’s safe to say that I own this city. I can do whatever I like in this city and he would not
Still Drakes POV“Loretta fooled me into thinking that she loves me. She came up with this perfect plan to steal from her bias and elope together. I fell for her tricks and her lies, I never knew she is such a terrible person, I never knew she could turn around and betray me. We had so much in common, and I was so stupid to think that it is true love. But now I know better, she never loved me and she would never love anyone in this lifetime because her heart is filled with greed and evil. If you want to get to the Bratva insurgencies and your brother as well, I would suggest you seize her and force her to spill everything she knows about them.” Justin told me firmly, then he handed me a briefcase that contains all the information he just shared with me, and even more than that.“Loretta stole these files when she used to work for Austin Foster. The plan was to get everything we could lay our hands on, then when we are safely out of this city, we would use the information on these file
Drakes POVHe has been daring me since Austin left this city. I guys the rumor is true after all. My own brother Riley is now a pawn to some freaking Russians who only wish to kill use him and then kill him. He abandoned our family just to become a puppet to these bastards.Wait, what the hell am I even saying?He did not abandon our family, if he did, then he wouldn’t be trying so hard to destroy everything our parents have worked so hard to achieve all their lives. His determination to ruin this family is so great, if I were one of his bosses, I would give him an award for being so tenacious. I get the reports of his attacks every fucking day. He keeps killing my boys, sending me a message that I don’t even understand. My boys are so fucking pissed off by his actions, they keep watering me to give them the order to take him out, but for some weird reason, I can’t seem to do that. I don’t think I can ever give them that order, I can’t even begin to imagine it. He may be an idiot, but
Loretta’s POVJustin left me…He set me up and ran off with all the money we were able to gather after Austin was deported to Russia to face justice in his homeland. He tricked me into believing that we are in this deal together, I never thought I could be outsmarted by a guy, I never even thought that Justin would ever betray me, I never saw him as a guy that could hurt a fly, I thought I could use him, but he ended up using me, and then he set me up with the Bratva insurgency, the same guys that dealt with Austin Foster and forced him to flee out of the city.The last time I had a decent conversation with him was when I told him about my sexual attraction to Drake Osborne. I indicated my interest in Drake, and I told him I wanted to get him to screw me, but he had been so pissed about it. I could vividly recall his exact words to me when I first mentioned it to him. He was like,“Now you’re making me angry and jealous, Rett. Why would fall you for another guy when you have me all to
Still Mia’s POV“I’m not sitting around for you to do everything for me, Drake. I’m bored and I’m so fucking tired of sitting around the house, doing nothing. I need this contract, you know what this contract means to me and my family. I don’t know what I’ll do if the contracts are not awarded to us. I need to be there, I need to be sure that I did everything possible to get that contract, please Drake, just take me with you. I promise, I won’t do anything stupid, I won’t do anything to ruin your hard work, I’ll be good, I’ll be reasonable, I promise.” I kept pleading with Drake as he sat in the dining, having his dinner. Charles, Casey, and their kids were sitting around the dining table as well, but I couldn’t care less. I just want to leave this house and I want to resume work. I’m sure they understand my frustration, they know how long I’ve been enduring this boredom and they sympathize with me as well. But Drake doesn’t seem to care about my feelings. Sometimes I feel he is still
Mia’s POV“I told you to sit back and let me hand this contract, Mia. I got it under control, I can get you that contract, I promise you. I’ve gotten past the initial stage and I’m confident that my pitch is too great to be dismissed. You can stay back and let me get you this contract, then after I secure your contract, you can resume at your new office building.” Drake implored, trying so hard to convince me to stay back at home and rest.It’s been five months since I had that terrible encounter with Riley and his whore Loretta. Drake has been by my side all this while, and I’m so glad that was able to heal faster than anyone expects. The doctor had been so amazing to me and my family. When he saw that I was ready for the surgery, he didn’t wait for Drake's permission before he could take me into the theater. He carried out my surgery, even before my husband could sight the consent papers. He took a great risk, just to save my life. Drake said he is being so nice to us because he want
