MIA'S POV:I couldn't help but wonder why Ava would have that kind of look on her face. I mean she possibly can't be jealous of a girl who got pregnant out of wedlock and lives with a man she barely knew. That didn't make sense right?My mom touched my shoulders, making me snap out of my thoughts."What had you so spaced out?" my mom asked." Nothing Mom" I quickly covered up."Are you sure?' my mom asked with narrowed eyes."Yes, I'm sure" I quickly replied to avoid suspicion from both Ava and my mom." If so, then I will take my leave," my mom said as she headed towards the door." Bye, mom. Too bad you can't stay for breakfast" I yelled after her."Bye," she replied with a small smile as she left through the door.I faced Ava with a small smile who was now sitting on one of the chairs in the dining area."Dig in" I said to her as I reached for a seat opposite hers.She nodded in response as she took her cutleries and dug in. I joined her in eating and moaned in ecstasy as soon as
LIAM'S POV:I couldn't concentrate on work, thinking about Mia all day. I just couldn't get her out of my mind. I was almost done reviewing the pile of documents stacked on my table, and there was nothing much left for me to do at the company.I left the company a few minutes later after supervising a few things.It was getting dark as I drove home. I parked my car in the garage and I hurriedly went inside the house.The living area was quiet like no one resides in it. Maybe the maids have retired to their quarters.I headed upstairs to my room and took a cold shower. I wore a pair of loose pants and a shirt.I left my room and stood in front of Mia's room. I leaned my ear on the door to know if she was still awake, but it was dead silent."Maybe she's asleep," I said as I shrugged and left.I got to the living area and was startled to see Anita standing by the door.I held my chest in fright as I gasped."Mr. Liam, are you okay?" she asked as she hurried over to me."I'm fine. When d
MIA'S POV:I woke up to gasp beside me. I thought it was my mom beside me, but I remembered that I was in Liam's house.If I was in Liam's house, then who was lying beside me because I didn't remember sharing a room with anybody?I inhaled and a familiar scent hit my nose. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Liam lying beside me with his face squished between my breasts.I gasped inwardly as I immediately moved away from him and an ear-splitting scream erupted from my mouth."What are you doing here?" I asked as I grabbed the duvet and covered my body feeling conscious of myself."I… I was…. Nothing" Liam stammered."What do you mean by nothing when you dipped your face between my boobs," I asked somewhat angrily."Look Mia, I didn't mean to do that. This is all a misunderstanding" Liam said while getting down from the bed.I somehow believed what he said but I didn't wanna show it. "Prove what you just said" I retaliated also getting down from the bed."Look, I watched after you all nig
LIAM'S POV:After the kiss with Mia upstairs, I couldn't get the feel of her lips on mine off my mind.I trotted down the stairs and headed towards the living room. I sat on a couch cough opposite the television as I grabbed the remote.I watched a TV show to get my mind off Mia, but I failed woefully because I wasn't understanding a thing being done on the TV.I heard a footstep coming into the dining area where the maids were setting the table. Soon, I heard Mia's voice as she seemed to want to lend a hand to the maids.I looked over at them and saw that she had given up trying to help the persistent maids set the table.She turned and sneakily headed towards the stairs in other to avoid me, but I wasn't having any of that.I called her over to come sit beside me on the couch, which she grudgingly agreed to do as she walked towards me.She sat on the couch beside not without creating measurable space between us. She focused on the movie and I couldn't help but look at her.How she b
MIA'S POV:I choked on my saliva as soon as Liam said that. Honestly, his words took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to hear him ask me that.I thought that he wanted me to tell him the truth about how I got pregnant with his child without our meeting.I was kinda trying to come up with an answer to his question, and now this?"A date?" I asked as I stared at him."Yeah. You know it's the weekend, and it wouldn't be fun to just stay at home all day doing nothing. It's okay if you don't wanna go, I won't force you" he said in one breath looking exhausted.The idea sounded fun to me and seriously I needed some time to blow off steam and release myself from stress."No! I mean I'm cool with it." I said with a nervous laugh."Hope I didn't sound too desperate?" I asked myself in a murmur."Great, then it's a date," he said with a small smile."Yeah, I guess so," I said as a light yawn escaped my mouth."I'm getting sleepy, I better head to bed now. Good night," I said while rising to m
LIAM'S POV:We went to a fancy restaurant to have a meal together. We talked about random stuff while eating and I can now admit that there is never a dull moment with Mia. I enjoy every minute I spend with her laughing my lungs out or staring at her pretty face. She looked extremely sexy tonight. The sight of her wearing that dress turned me on. It looked like the dress was made for her. I never knew that the dress would suit her perfectly. I just imagined her wearing the dress and I thought that it would suit her, so I just bought the dress together with some shoes and jewelry.When we were done eating, I led her out of the restaurant and into the car with no actual destination in mind.We drove around the city enjoying the night view since it had already gotten dark.“Uhm.. Liam, where are we going?” Mia asked.“I honestly don't know,” I replied while gulping in.When Riley and I were still married, she was the one always taking me out and I was the one paying at the end of the
MIA’S POV:After pleading for Liam to spare me some seconds to go meet the seer, he agreed and I happily rushed to the center of the crowd to meet the seer.“Good evening ma'am” I greeted the seer as soon as I got to her not wanting to waste time there.“Good evening young miss” the seer greeted back.“I'd like for you to read my future,” I said as I brought out my palm for her.She nodded as she took my hands into hers. She stared at my palm for a while as she traced the lines on my palm slowly.She dragged in a deep breath as she finally let go of hand and looked up at me.“You have a very complicated future my dear” the seer sighed with sagged breath.“What does it say?” I asked curiously.“The path to happiness and misery lies in the heart of the man you are with now, but it's up to you to discover the right path that will lead you to your happiness. But if you choose the wrong path, it will be your doom.” the seer said.I stared wide-eyed at the seer too terrified to say another
LIAM’S POV:I woke up to the ray of sunshine that seeped in through the window and shown directly in my eye.I groaned as I covered my head with the duvet. I was not in a hurry to wake up since it was the weekend.Deciding to sleep some more, I closed my eyes as I lay more comfortably on the bed.After sleeping to my satisfaction a few hours later, I woke up and grabbed my phone by the bed stand to check the time.I gasped as I looked at the time. It was some minutes past eleven in the morning.I immediately rushed out of bed and I headed to the bathroom to have a shower. I came back to the room refreshed minutes later. I dressed up, grabbed my phone, and headed downstairs.I met the maids setting the table for breakfast. I walked over to them to have some breakfast. They greeted me immediately they saw me walking over to them. I responded to their greeting with a nod.They dished out my food and I was about to dig in when I remembered that Mia wasn't downstairs yet.“Where's Mia?”
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
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 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
