Alexander's POV
Few hours ago.
I took long strides to my sister's party. I was beyoubg mad.
I had been checking the account details when I noticed a huge amount of money, 1.2 million dollars to be exact was missing from Victoria's account which I manage.
What could the gurk possibly use that huge sum for? That was the question I was going to ask her.
" Hey, bro... I thought you're not going to come to my par..."
" What did you use that much money for?" I asked interrupting her from talking.
I already told her that I wouldn't be attending her party, but this was urgent.
"Er..." She began to stammer as she bowed her head fiddling with her fingers.
"I'm talking to you". I said in a cold voice and she flinched.
I rarely talk to her like that, in fact I could count the times I've ever gotten angry at her in one finger, but this was just really huge.
But if she had a good reason, I could possibly let this go.
" Alex, pe... People are watching". She muttered in an almost inaudible voice looking over her shoulder at some of the guest who had already arrived, but I cared less about them.
"Answer my damn question Victoria, what did you use over a million for?" I glared at her my voice extremely cold.
" Fine, fine... I bought a dress, a dress for myself and Lilly's maid, that, that Mia girl". She said shaking,her voice breaking.
A dress?
She bought a freaking dress with over a million dollars?
That was when I noticed the dress she was wearing. A beautiful designer body hugging gown that touched the floor, with a long split starting from the mid thigh.
Mia would look amazing in a dress like this...
My eyes widened when I realized what I was thinking about.
Oh God... How deep were my feelings for Mia?
"Bro... Bro... Alex, Alexander!"
"What?" I unconsciously answered.
My mind was not in the right place to continue this conversation.
"We'll talk about this later". I turned to leave when I remembered something.
" By the way, I know you were in my study... We'll have to talk about that too".
I saw the way Victoria's eyes widened when she heard that I knew she went to my study, she really thought I would have no idea.
That girl, but what could I do to her? She was my sister.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt someone soft hit my chest.
I looked down at the figure, it was Mia in an incredibly sexy dress.
Shit.
My eyes trailed across her body, from her face which was extraordinary beautiful right now, to her chest, down to her slim waist.
My hands itched to touch her slim waist which the dress revealed.
Down to her long legs which were on display. Those legs and that attitude that made me buy her that day at the auction.
"Em... Mr... Mr Hamilton". It was then I noticed the lady standing beside her, Alice right?
I returned my gaze to her face, and her eyes caught mine.
"Em... I... Er... I guess, I'll leave you, Mia". Alice said and I thanked her in my mind.
I really wanted to talk to Mia alone. We were yet to see each other or even talk to each other since that day at my study.
I said alot of bad things to her that day, things I really regret now but I had no idea how to apologize.
" If you're not saying anything, I'm just going to le... "
"I'm sorry"
I said shocking both myself and Mia.
" You're what?" She asked again in disbelief.
I rolled my eyes, Dargh... I don't want to repeat myself... But this was Mia.
And I owed her an apology.
" I said I'm sorry. I should have at least listened to your side of the story, I could have heard you out but I believed my sister". I said nervously. This was the first time in over three years I was apologizing to someone, I was a bit rusty.
"Ha... Ha... Ha..." I raised my head up when I heard her uproar laughter.
"God... You should see your face right now..." She mocked pointing at my face while holding her stomach.
What was so funny?
I rolled my eyes again crossing my hands on my chest.
" What's so funny huh?" I scoffed glaring at her.
She shook her head her head trying to stifle her laughter by biting her lips.
My eyes caught her actions and my expression changed.
" Really?" I asked my voice low and hoarse before walking closer to her.
Her laughter completely disappeared and hee face turned serious, but that wasn't able to dismiss my already aroused body.
I looked at her lips and then her chest which exposed the top part of her breasts and then back at her lips again.
My breathing began haggard and I struggled to keep my consciousness intact.
Her face flushed in a deep red color arousing me even more, I took two steps closer to her. I was so close to her, I could feel her shoulders on my nose. My mouth itched to be on her smooth white skin, but I held myself, inhaling her sweet breath.
She took a step back to get away from me.
" Mr Hamilton..." I heard her call.
No, no way. I didn't want to hear that honorific from her.
"Call me Alexander, please". I begged, slowly loosing the last thread of sanity preventing me from pouncing from her here and now.
She looked so perfect right now and all I wanted was to kiss the hell of those plump lips of her's.
She walked back, taking few steps away from me while I walked towards her.
A smile grew on my face when her back touched the wall, and I placed my hands on both sides of the wall completely putting her in a corner.
I brought my face close to her neck and left it there inhaling her scent or was it a perfume... Or shampoo? I don't know whatever it was, it felt good.
" Alexander, you're..." I took in a sharp breath interrupting her from speaking.
She was doing stuffs to me that no woman had managed to do in a very long time.
" You really don't know what you do to me, Mia..." I said to her, my voice revealing how aroused I was.
I could tell she wanted to come up with a witty remark but she didn't... Why didn't she?
Did she feel the same way?
I brought my face lower to meet hers, my eyes searching hers for a disgust or reluctance, but I found none, so I gently lowered my lips to touch hers.
I saw her shut her eyes right before I placed my lips on hers.
If felt... Wonderful, but then my senses returned and Immediately released her.
She opened her eyes, staring at me. I pinched the bridge of my nose trying to think of a reasonable explanation I could give her.
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." She began but I shook her head. It was not her fault, I kissed her.
" I shouldn't have done that... " Her big glossy eyes looking at me for an explanation.
" But I don't regret it". I whispered before walking away from her. There was nothing I could say, I indeed don't regret what I just did.
Plus, she didn't look that mad.
Maybe she wanted it too...
Shit... Shit... Shit... I need a drink.
I stayed in my study the rest of the day working, at least trying to get some work done, but I couldn't even think properly. All I could think about was Mia and that kiss. God, her lips felt so...I slammed the documents in my hands back on the table. I was not going anywhere with this. I got up from my chair and walked to the mini wine bar I had in my office. It was quite hidden so it was hard to notice. I picked up a bottle of whiskey and a glass and went back to my chair, before pouring the whiskey in the glass. How deep were my feelings for Mia for Christ sake? All I could think of right now was her and what she was doing right now. My mind went to the sexy dress she was putting on, and how it made my body feel... Shit! I drowned the glass and poured myself a new one.Mia was unlocking feelings that I never knew I still had and it was driving me crazy no knowing how and why and if she even knows what she was doing to me. I drowned the second glass before dropping it with a
I winced shutting my eyes immediately after opening then because of how bright it was. "What's the time?" I asked myself before checking my watch which was still tied to my hand. "Shit!" It was half past seven. I had falled asleep in my study thinking about what I had to do to keep Victoria from saying anything about Mia to my old man.This was the longest I've ever slept ever since my wife, Lilly's mother died. My body some how managed to develop an insomnia after Grace died. I had to take bunch of sleeping pills ever night, but even with that I wasn't able to sleep past 4am in the morning. Only on one occasion, and Mia also happened to be the same person I was thinking of, the day she told me of Lilly coming back home crying. She was so close to me... Just like last night. A smile unconsciously creeped on my face when I thought of yesterday's kiss. It was short, extremely brief but I could still remember vividly how her lips felt on mine. It was soft and her lip gloss tasted
Alexander's POV"What do you mean it's your money? Remember, I'm the one who put you in the position you're in now!" My father yelled, his face red with rage. We had been arguing for almost two hours, and I could see the vein in his forehead bulging. Victoria must have told him everything about Mia, and he looked like he was about to have a heart attack."You'll bring that girl to me, and I'll take care of her," he demanded, his eyes blazing with fury.I narrowed my eyes at him, clenching my fists. "I won't," I said defiantly. "Mia is my responsibility. I bought her with my money, and I'll take care of her."My father's face turned purple with rage. "How dare you speak to me like that! I'm still your father! I put you in your position!" He gripped his walking stick tightly, his knuckles white with anger.I smirked, trying to control my own anger. "Yes, you did, but I earned it. And I'm not letting you get your hands on Mia. She belongs to me."My father's eyes flashed with anger. "Al
Alexander's POV"Father, I'm not in the mood for this. Tell me where Mia is right now!" I thundered, glaring at him. Can't he see how mad I am?"So, you do care for her?" He shook his head, looking at me in disappointment - a look I'm so used to seeing on his face whenever we speak."Just so you know, I don't know where this Mia girl is, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." I smirked, shaking my head at his calmness."Father..." Or could it be that Victoria did this on her own?"Next time, before you come here all fired up to make accusations, make sure you know for sure who you're accusing and have evidence. I thought I taught you better, but you disappoint me every time. Maybe your half-brother would do better."My lips hooked up in a sinister smirk. "You say that every time, yet you've never brought that brother of mine back into the family, have you?" I said, provoking him.He gave me one of his calm smiles that had been on his face since I stepped into the office. "The way yo
Mia's POVMy heart raced as I shivered in fright. I was standing backstage, blindfolded, hands tied behind my back, and naked. Not the type of naked like you're wearing an open swimsuit and feeling insecure, but freaking butt naked."We've saved the best for last. Here's Mia, a twenty-four-year-old ready to fulfill all your needs."He just called my name! I thought it was a mistake - if he was who I thought he was, how would he know my name and age? I questioned myself, my heart still beating in terror of what's about to happen.Two men came forward and dragged me onto the stage. The first one untied my hands before following the other one to drag me.No, I don't want to go. I struggled to set myself free from their iron grip, but my efforts were completely useless because I was thrown onto the stage like a ragdoll."We don't need to mishandle our product." I heard the guy with the microphone warn the two guys who threw me on the stage.Product! That darn bastard called me a product! I
Mia's POV"I'll buy her for a million dollars." For the first few seconds, I thought it was an angel speaking before I realized it was the handsome man from earlier who was looking at me.The normal me, you know the me before knowing that my tongue was about to be cut off, would sneer at the price, but my tongue was on the line, so I kept quiet. Can't argue with my savior. Plus the price was mouth watering. "Are you sure about this, Mr. Hamilton? As you have seen, this lady can be quite brazen." The MC said, addressing the man with respect.I could bet that all the darn auctioneer wanted was for me to suffer, but maybe the price would be worth more than that."Are you questioning my decisions, Williams?" The handsome man raised a brow as he threatened. He was terrifying, even more than Williams, the MC, and auctioneer.Was I making the right decision choosing to be bought by him? But I literally had no other choice. It's either this or my tongue gets cut off, and the way I see these p
I followed, more like allowed myself to be dragged by Mr. Hamilton, down to where he parked his car. Which was quite far from where he caught me.So the man ran all the way there just to catch me? I found it amusing. He left his expensive car, which I could bet cost way more than a million dollars, to catch me, who only cost one million? What if his car got stolen or worse, wrecked? Didn't he think about it before chasing me? But then again, rich people have no worries. They're rich."Where are you taking me to?" I asked once inside his car."To my house." He answ curtly, getting onto the driver's seat.I was surprised when I saw Mr. Hamilton open the door to the driver's seat and hop in.I thought rich men always had drivers or chauffeurs to drive them about. Why was he doing it himself? Could it be that Mr. Hamilton was not as rich as he portrayed himself to be? I glanced at the man on the driver's seat, carefully scrutinizing his every expression. Or could it be that he just loved t
"Be my daughter's maid." I blinked, trying to decipher his words. Was it code for something?"I don't get it." I shook my head, confusion etched on my face.Alexander crossed his legs, his gaze piercing mine. "What don't you get?" he asked, his tone firm but curious.I took a deep breath, my nerves tensed. His stare was unsettling, making my heart race. I clutched the blanket, my eyes darting to my clothes. I was no longer wearing Alexander's suit jacket but a silk extremely comfortable nightgown.My eyes widened as I looked to look at Alexander. "Did you..." I trailed off, my voice barely audible.Alexander's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What if I did?"I could feel the heat rising up to my face. I didn't could be embarrassment, or anger or both, but all I knew was that I was wronged. Alexander had seen me naked few hours ago, but that still didn't give him right to undress me.My temper flared and I lost control of my mouth. "You perverted..." " It wasn't me". We said at t
