MIA’S POV:I slammed the door on Liam’s face as I rested my back on the door trying to calm my angry self.“How the hell did he think that he could get back with me after messing around with Riley? Does he think that I'm that cheap that I will jump up at the idea of double timing with him even if he's New York's wealthiest billionaire” I thought angrily as I slumped on the floor.A flash of the video I just watched came into my memory and I couldn't help but break down in tears.No matter how hard I tried to get rid of the thought of Liam from my mind, I simply couldn't because I came to admit that I was in love with him.But being in love with him doesn't mean that I will agree to stoop so low and become his mistress or whatever he considers me.I cried my eyes out as I still sat by the door trying to get rid of every thought about him.I managed to get up from my sitting position after two hours of brooding thoughts about Liam. “I can't possibly let him ruin my day, even though my
MIA’S POV:I stared wide-eyed at the shivering person lying beside my doorstep.I couldn't believe my eyes as I walked a step closer to the person. My eyes widened when I realized that the person I saw wasn't just my imagination.It was an unconscious Liam, shivering nonstop as he cuddled his wet body.“Liam?” I called out still unsure of what to say.He didn't reply instead he continued shivering heavily.It looked like he was caught in the storm last night. But didn't he leave before the storm because I heard the sound of his car driving off?“Oh God Liam” I called as I rushed to him. I shook him many times but he wasn't responding.I knew I had to do something because I couldn't just leave him like this on my doorstep even though he had badly hurt me. Besides, he was starting to draw attention from the neighbors.I took off my coat leaving me in only my singlet as I draped the coat around his cold shoulders.I tried getting him up on his feet, but he wouldn't budge. I took in a de
LIAM’S POV:I woke up to the feel of a nice smooth warm body curled around my shivering body. It felt so good that I wanted to live in the moment.But then, I didn't recall going back home or wrapping myself up in someone’s arms. I tried to recall where I was at the moment but couldn't until I got a whiff of that tantalizing citrus smell that I was learning to get addicted to.I opened my eyes and saw an almost naked Mia cuddling me in her arms with a blanket covering our bodies.I smiled inwardly at that as I inhaled yet again her intoxicating smell.I wrapped my hands around her tiny slender waist before pulling her closer to me.I felt her tense at my touch before calling out my name.I knew that it was improper to do this even though she hasn't considered me a part of her life probably because I cheated on her which I deeply regret now.But she hasn't given me a chance to explain myself. If this is the only way to do it and make things right between us, I will do so.She tried to
LIAM’S POV:I left Mia’s house in despair as I wandered around her house waiting to see if she might change her mind and call me back. But unfortunately, she didn't.After hanging around, I decided to leave for good because I was tired of always being the one chasing after the women in my life.I opened my car and was about to leave when someone called my name from behind.I looked back immediately with a hopeful glint in my eyes as I expected to see Mia when I turned but was slightly disappointed when I saw her mother standing behind me.“Liam, what are you doing here?” she asked while approaching.“I came to see Mia” I replied a bit unsure if I should tell her about yesterday's and today's occurrence between us.“Have you seen her yet?” she asked as she finally got to me.“Yes,” I replied nervously.“Have you settled things with her?” she queried.“Not exactly,” I answered nervously. “Liam, you can tell me what's wrong so that I will know if I can help you convince her to forgive y
MIA’S POV:I spent the rest of the week in tears and despair as I locked myself up in my room.I couldn't believe that Liam would just leave like that without a second thought, and not even trying to call or text me.When I finally got out of the room days later, I met my mom waiting for me by my doorstep.She spent the rest of the days convincing me to give Liam a second chance even after I showed her the video of what he did to me.She simply told me that there was an explanation for everything and that he might have a good reason for doing that.I refused to listen to her but she kept trying to convince me so hard that I ran back right into my room before slamming the door shut and locking it.I lay on my bed as I thought about what my mom said. Maybe she was right somehow but I just couldn't bring myself to call Liam, not since he left without a single word and didn't text or call.I debated on this till daybreak. Finally making up my mind, I decided to go see him and maybe we co
LIAM’S POV:I finally got off work because I spent the rest of the hour thinking about Mia that I asked my secretary to send away.How was she feeling right now? Is she hurt or mad at me right now? Gosh, I couldn't get her out of my mind throughout the remaining hours I spent idling away in my office upon the stack of files waiting for my review.I grabbed my briefcase as I left the office. I met my P. A waiting for me by the door. He immediately took my briefcase from me as he led me toward my private elevator.I got in my car after I got downstairs and drove home as I couldn't wait to submerge my tense body in a cold bath.I loosened my tie when I finally got home. I slumped on a couch in the living area as I ordered a cup of water.While I was gulping down the glass of water, I was approached by a maid whom I often heard Mia call Anita. They seemed to get along just fine.“Ughhh!! Why am I always filled with thoughts of Mia every time I find a minute?“Sir, we had a visitor while y
MIA’S POV:I woke up to a gentle touch on my hand. I moved my fingers a little, and it seems like the person holding my hand noticed my movements.I felt a piercing gaze on me as I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Liam staring expectantly at me looking dead worried and having a guilty look on as a lone tear rolled down his face.I felt sorry for making him worry and abandoning his sleep before rushing here.I leaned into him before capturing his lips in a slow kiss.To be honest, I wasn't asleep. I just felt slightly uncomfortable and I tried to force myself to sleep by closing my eyes before Liam walked in.I heard him sniff before I opened my eyes and engulfed him in a kiss.I broke the kiss as I stared at him who had a surprise look on his face.“Mia, I… I thought that you were mad at me and that you would push me away when you see me” Liam said while looking into my eyes.“I thought so too, but changed my mind” I replied, also staring back at him.“What made you change your mind?” he
LIAM’S POV:I woke up to the scent of the familiar and addicting citrus. I inhaled a handful of the scent as I pulled the delicate body that was cuddling mine closer to myself.I smiled inwardly as I remembered the sweet memory we shared last night.Mia wouldn't stop screaming my name. It seems like she missed me just as much as I missed her.She screamed so much that I became afraid that she might tear the house down with her screams. I'm sure the maids must have heard her last night.I felt her move in my arms and I slightly opened my eyes to find her awake and staring at me with a smile on her face.“Morning sunshine” I greeted as I pecked her nose.She giggled at that before pecking me on the lips.“Morning Liam” she greeted back.“Ughh, why didn't you give me a part name?” I asked faking to be hurt.“I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to call you since you know I'm new to this type of thing and it may seem awkward to me if I just blurted out a pet name.” Mia explained in one brea
