MIA’S POV:“Can you let me in now?” he asked.“No freaking way,” I said while blocking the entrance with my body.I didn't know why I did that but all the hairs on my body stood up at the mention of his name and his dark aura.There seems to be a lot more to this man than meets the eye.“You won't even offer your visitor in,” he said with a dark chuckle.“You haven't started your purpose of coming and I barely know who you are,” I said standing my ground.“You are quite fierce,” he said more like to himself as he forced his way in while pushing me out of the way.The maids rushed towards me to catch me before I reached the floor.When they confirmed that I was okay, I signaled them to leave and call Liam.I discreetly opened the sound recorder on my phone before walking towards him.“You are quite rough for your age” I spat at the man who offered himself a seat on one of the couches.“What can I say? I don't need you to offer me before I come in. I do what I want in this world, and I
LIAM’S POV:I was just coming out of the boardroom after an intense meeting with the board of directors on some issues concerning the company when my phone rang.I sighed exhaustively as I pulled out my phone from my pocket.I checked the caller and it turned out to be Anita.I raised a questioning brow at my phone as to why Anita was suddenly calling out of the blue. She doesn't call unnecessarily unless there was a serious matter that needed my attention.“Has something happened to Mia while I was away?” I questioned myself as I hurriedly connected the call before it disconnected.“Anita, what's wrong?”I asked as soon as I connected the call.“Sir, a strange man barged into the house after pushing Miss Mia out of the way,” she replied.I gazed into space for a while as I thought about who the strange man might be.“Do you know the identity of the man?” I asked as I walked into my office and shut the door.“I overheard him telling Miss Mia that he was Charles Roberts,” Anita replied.
LIAM’S POV:After spending time with Mia downstairs, when the time was a few minutes after seven, we both headed upstairs to shower and get dressed for our dinner date.I had a few clothes ordered for Mia so that she could wear the one she likes among the few clothes.I wore a white shirt with a black denim trouser coupled with a pair of white shoes.It was a casual date, I didn't wanna over dress cause it was kind of hot today.I sighed as I looked at the stairs. Mia had yet to come downstairs.Soon after, I heard footsteps approaching me and I immediately looked up to see Mia wearing matching outfits with me.“What a surprise,” I said while walking towards her.She wore black leather pants, a pair of white shoes, and a white shirt. She also applied some light makeup on her face making her look dashing as always.“I know right? I'm sorry if I wasted your time, I had to wait for you to get dressed so that I can wear matching outfits with you. You know, we haven't gone on a date wearin
LIAM’S POV:I stared shockingly at the piece of paper that I was holding. “This can't be happening again when things are finally back to normal” Liam murmured while ruffling his hair in frustration.“These people know when to strike at the right moment. They waited for me and Mia to reconcile and then separated her from me after a few days just so to hurt me and take away my happiness” I thought as I slumped on the floor nearly on the verge of tears while resting my back on the wall.I got up and dusted my trousers while crumbling the piece of paper in my hands.“Whoever did this knew our exact location and must have been watching us the whole time. No wonder Mia felt like we were being watched the whole time” I gritted my teeth at that thought.“If I could at least know the identity of the person behind this,” I thought as I looked around to know if I would find any clues but I didn't find any.I sighed in frustration as a lady came to use the restroom but stopped in her tracks when
LIAM’S POV:I heard muffled sounds as I traced the sound to a room that was tightly locked.I peeped inside the room through a small hole and saw Mia being tied up to a pole with bounded eyes and mouth.“Bingo”I looked around to see if there was anyone around and fortunately, there wasn't.I looked at the locked door as I thought of ways to break the lock, but the lock looked unbreakable.I tried pulling but failed woefully as the lock refused to break.I sighed frustratingly as I peeped through the again and saw Mia struggling to untie the ropes.I smiled inwardly. At least she's making an effort to escape and survive.My eyes caught something when I was peeping through the door.An open window. Maybe I can sneak in from there and save Mia.Just then, I heard fast-approaching footsteps as I quickly found a hiding space.“There's no way he will know where she is, so don't worry” I heard Riley’s voice echo through the silent and empty space of the building.“So much for underestimatin
MIA’S POV:I stared shockingly at Riley as she displayed her true colors in front of us.“How can she think of killing us just because Liam divorced her? So this is really how she behaves, She's a complete disgrace to womanhood” I thought while staring shockingly at her.Liam hasn't fully untied my hands yet because he was always distracted by Riley who seemed determined to accomplish her mission.I secretly struggled with the ropes binding me as Riley seemed distracted and thankfully, she wasn't noticing any of my movements.I finally untied Myself and I gasped happily when I finally freed my hands which hurt a little as blood started circulating fully on them.I still kept my hands backward as I pretended to be still tied up. I didn't want Riley to know that I freed myself as I paid attention to their conversation because Liam suddenly stood in front of me protectively.“Oh really? Then I'll show you what childish looks like” Riley said as her hands went to the trigger.We heard a s
MIA’S POV:I woke up to a space on the bed. I groaned as I covered myself properly with the duvet.I was about to cuddle Liam so that I could share his body warmth with me because I was kind of feeling cold, but too bad he had already left.I shivered slightly at the sudden wind that blew on my skin from the slightly opened window.I was too tired to get up and close it, so I just wrapped myself with the blanket like sushi. Still, I was feeling extremely cold.I placed my hands on my forehead and noticed that I had a high fever.I exhaled heavily while staring at the door waiting for Liam to come in anytime and it seemed like God heard my prayer as the door swung open and Luam walked.“Liam” I muttered weakly as he placed his other hand on my forehead to confirm that I was having fever.“I'm so cold,” I said with clattering teeth as another round of cold wind threatened to burst through the slightly opened window and blow on my skin.Liam noticed this as he rushed to close the window.
MIA'S POV:I groaned as I covered my head with the duvet to avoid the ray of sun that was shining on my face.After a few minutes, I sat up while searching for my flip-flops sleepily.I found them and wore them before walking into the bathroom. I eased myself before standing in front of the sink while staring at my reflection in the mirror by the sink.I checked my temperature and noticed that my temperature had gone down and I wasn't feeling cold anymore.I smiled when I remembered how Liam took care of me yesterday when I was sick.He looked very worried as he watched me shiver in cold and burning up with fever.“I wonder how he's fairing now,” I thought as I grabbed my toothbrush, and applied toothpaste before brushing my teeth.I took my bath after that as I wore my clothes, and applied some lip balm because my lips felt somewhat dry before walking out of my room.I stood in front of Liam’s room as I contemplated whether I should go in and tell him that I'd recovered or I should w
