MIA’S POV:I woke up to the soft lips pressing in my cheeks. I smiled inwardly as I knew who was doing that.I opened my eyes to see Liam grinning at me with sparkling eyes.I smiled as I sat up on the bed while pulling the blanket against my chest to avoid any further temptation because my middle was already sore from last night's lovemaking.He also sat on the bed without taking his eyes off of me. His eyes followed every one of my movements as he gave out a smirk as if he wanted to continue from where he stopped last night, but I wasn't going to let that happen.“Liam, what is it” I asked with a smile while pulling his cheeks.“Just wanted to see you wake up with a smile before I leave for work.“You have seen me smile, now hurry and go take a shower before you run late,” I said while checking the time on my phone.“I don't need to hurry so I won't be late. I'm the boss remember? And there's nothing much to do a work today, how about I spend the day with you today.” he said while a
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.
LIAM’S POV:“Who was it?” I asked curiously.“I think it was Charles Robert”“What” I gasped in shock at the mention of that name.“Mia, are you sure of what you saw? Maybe you didn't see his face when he took the mask off so you might have assumed him to be someone else” I rapped while staring intuitively at Mia who gently shook her in disapproval.“I'm sure of what I saw Liam, I saw his face when he took his mask off. It was Charles Robert” Mia said.I exhaled heavily as I thought of the reason Charles would try to harm me. Was it to spite me or was it totally for a different reason?“If it's truly him, then why did his shoulder feel so soft when I got a hold of him in the passageway? He almost seemed like a girl to me if not for the masculine way he was dressed” I said pensively.“What happened in the passageway?” Mia immediately asked.“Nothing, just that I saw him leaving your room while I was coming back from the restroom so I got a hold of him because he seemed suspicious but h
LIAM’S POV:“I think it's high time you separate yourself from my daughter,” Mia’s mom said with a stern look on her face.I looked shocked as I stared at her unbelievably.“You don't mean that,” my mom said, stepping forward to us.“Yes, I do. I don't see my daughter benefitting anything by staying with Liam. Instead, she keeps getting hospitalized despite being pregnant” Mia’s mom retorted.I looked spaced out as I stared between my mom and Mia’s mom while at a loss for words.I didn't know how to reply to her request more like a command Mia’s mom just issued now.I can't deny that the thought hasn't crossed my mind at all, but I just shrugged it off as nothing.Now, her mom had voiced out her thoughts on her daughter's safety.I couldn't blame her after all Mia was the only family she had and it would be so painful if she eventually lost her.I thought about her command for a while and remembered the warning she gave me beforehand that I should think of what was best for Mia and ou
LIAM’S POV: I went to the doctor's office hoping to meet the doctor again but couldn't.Instead, I met a nurse walking out of there and she told me that the doctor wasn't available at the moment.I sighed before heading back down because it seemed like the doctor wasn't around.Just when I reached downstairs, I bumped into someone and the person quickly apologized while rushing off before I saw his or her face.I shrugged while looking at the retreating figure of the person hastily walking away.I don't know why, but I felt like I knew the person from somewhere and the person probably didn't want to see me that's why they reacted the way they did” I thought before heading towards the reception room to ask the receptionist where the CCTV camera room was. I was directed to a room hidden almost at the back of the hospital which was the CCTV camera room.I slowly entered the room and noticed that it was unusually empty.“Shouldn’t the security men in charge of monitoring the activities
MIA’S POV:I groaned in pain as I woke up and immediately shut my eyes because my vision was kinda blurry coupled with the light shining directly on my eye.“Miss, are you okay?” I heard a voice ask.I opened my eyes and noticed that the light shining on my eyes had been switched off.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” the voice asked yet again.I didn't reply as I looked intently at the person standing in front of me and asking me questions.“Blink once if yes and blink twice if no” the voice which was that of a doctor said.“I can talk” I replied while trying to sit up on the bed but a sharp pain gripped my stomach making me groan in pain before falling back on the bed.“You shouldn't try to get up for a while because you have not fully recovered,” the doctor instructed as he reached for my wrist and checked my pulse.He connected an IV fluid to my wrist before telling a nurse beside him to come to check up on me every hour.After a few minutes of instructions from the doctor, he
LIAM’S POV:“Stop right there” I half yelled as I gripped the person by the shoulder and surprisingly the stranger whom I thought was a man had soft shoulders making me doubt his sex.The stranger stood rooted on his spot for a few seconds as I slowly turned the person to face me.Suddenly, he shook my hands off his shoulder before taking to his heels. I noticed him limping while running as I chased after him, making me raise a questioning brow at him.Halfway through the chase in the hospital that was already drawing attention from people, I stopped as I watched the stranger escape.No need to chase after him when there are CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the hospital.I needed to go check on Mia first to know if she was alright because her safety was now my priority.I could easily catch the stranger who entered her room while I was away because he wasn't running as fast as I expected, probably because he had a wound on his leg.I sighed as I rushed back to Mia’s ward to
LIAM’S POV:I woke up earlier than usual and walked into Mia’s room to check on her.I met her all cuddled up in the bed with the duvet wrapped around as she was still asleep.I walked closer to her and slowly sat on the bed careful not to wake her up.I checked her temperature and noticed that her fever had died down and was now mild.I sighed in relief while lifting myself from the bed. I covered her well with the duvet before leaving.“Her fever dying down doesn't mean that she has recovered right?” I thought as I slowly closed the door behind me after walking out.“Maybe I should go purchase more drugs for her in case she is still feeling cold or her fever suddenly accelerates. After all, prevention is better than cure” I thought as I walked into my room and grabbed my black card before heading downstairs.I met Anita on my way out of the house who immediately bowed in greeting as soon as she saw me.“I'm heading out for a while to go purchase some drugs for her. Tell her where I
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
