Chapter 17 Chris’s Monologue

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Plunging into the water, Chris starts his daily workout routine. He tries to clear his thoughts while doing the laps. Last night changed so many things.

What should he do with Mia? Did he act impetuously by taking her here and claiming her? He sure doesn’t regret making love to her. What happened between them last night was amazing and mind-blowing.

He never felt so jealous in his life when he saw Anderson sitting so close to Mia. Anderson likes Mia more than just a friend. Chris could tell that from the way he looks at her. He almost lost control there. He nearly barged in, tore Mia away from his stepbrother, and warned him to step back even though he knows that Anderson is a good and respectable guy.

Instead, he walked away because reason took the upper hand. Maybe this was for the best. He was not ready to confront himself about his feelings for Mia. That was a dangerous territory to go into. He was not familiar with the feelings swelling in his chest. Jealousy and even anger.

    Sunlight streams through the window onto the bed Mia is lying on. A sweet aroma wafts to the bedroom. Mia’s eyes flutter open. For a moment, she is lost in the unfamiliar room. Then she recalls everything and blushes at the memory. Chris is not on the bed. She needs to pee, but she has no clothes to wear. Her dress is nowhere to be found. She vaguely remembers Chris taking it off her in the living room. Her mind wanders to his touch on her body. She is wet between her legs. Focus, don’t go there. Maybe she could just use the sheets to cover her body. “I prefer you not wearing anything.” Chris suddenly appears at the door. He is wearing a simple black T-shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. His muscles are visible under the simple outfit. His rumpled hair gives him a casual sex appeal. His eyes roam all over her naked body with intense heat, which makes her stomach flip. Before she has time to wrap the sheet around her body to cover her nudity, Chris walks to the bed in long strid

    Mia has entered a new chapter in her life. She has a nice apartment she likes very much, a job that pays well, and most importantly, a man who makes her toes curl at night and her heart pounding whenever she sees him. She has never been happier in her life. She starts to see Chris in secret on his property in Brooklyn. It is a 3-story residence with an industrial exterior design. The tall trees surrounding the house seclude it from the peering eyes of busybodies in Summer. And the most wondrous part of the house is it is just 3 blocks away from her apartment. When Chris said they were going to meet there for their dates, Mia couldn’t help wondering if Chris knew the location of her apartment. But how? “This cannot be a coincidence. Do you know where I live? Or have you been stalking me? ” Mia asks jokingly. “I have no idea where you live. It just happens that one of my properties is close to your apartment. My houses and apartments scatter the city and I lose track.” An argument M

    The minute Mia opens the door to their secret love nest in Brooklyn, she is welcomed by Chris’s hot and warm kisses. The sight of Chris shirtless and his toned muscles make Mia’s body ache with want, and the kisses only make it worse. They haven’t seen each other for almost four days. She wants him so desperately. Just then Mia’s stomach gives out a loud growl and stops Chris’s hot kisses trailing on her collarbone, her sensitive spot. Mia is afraid that the sound her stomach makes spoils the mood. “Hungry that much? Miss Not-Afraid-Of-Danger?” Chris teases Mia who is running out of breath from the kisses. “A little bit.” Mia blushes, a little embarrassed by herself. “Come with me. I prepared some food for us.”“You did that again, Mr. Chef?” Mia smiles, letting Chris hold her hand and leading her to the dining room. “So are you going to call me Mr. Chef from now on?” “I might be. I’m still thinking of other options.” Mia teases him back. “Oh, I’d love to know what the other op

    “You are glowing. I want every detail.” Sophia says the minute she steps into the door of Mia's new apartment. Typical Sophia. Always looking for the juicy stuff. “Hush. I haven’t told Calvin about Chris yet.” “Oops, sorry.” Sophia grimaces. Mia shakes her head. “Sophia, is that you?” Calvin wheels himself out of his bedroom. “Hi Calvin, you look good.” Sophia bends over and hugs Calvin. “You look as fabulous as always.” “Oh, Calvin, you are the best. Can I have a room tour first?” “Come on, let me show you around,” Calvin says proudly. Calvin has been in a good mood since they moved in. The facilities in this apartment make movement much easier for him. His condition is improving, fewer sleepless nights, and less complaining of pain. The rehabilitation sessions seem to have some effects. And most important of all, he hasn’t to constantly worry about their rent or being kicked out as before. The landlord signed a five-year lease with zero rent with them. This is a huge relief

    Mr. Powell is still in the operating room when Mia and Susie arrive at the hospital. They are ushered into a private room where Mrs. Powell and her two sons have been waiting. The room is shrouded in ominous silence. Mrs. Powell sits on a gray sofa with both her back and shoulders straight, calm and graceful as usual. Her shrewd green eyes give out zero clue what is going on in her mind. Sitting in the corner of the room with Susie, Mia catches a glance of Anderson and gives him a gentle smile as reassuring as she could muster. He smiles back weakly with worry written all over his face. Just then Anthony stands up from the sofa abruptly and starts pacing back and forth in the room. “The operation should be done already. Why hasn’t anyone come to us? Don’t they know who we are and who our father is?” He shouts angrily. “Anthony, calm down. The surgery could go on for hours. Have patience.” “Patience? Are you asking me to have patience? For god’s sake, this is our father we are ta

    Snuggling against Chris’s firm and muscular body, Mia feels content and sighs satisfyingly. The past few days have been hectic. Mr. Powell’s health condition is all over the news. Pinnacle’s stock price continues to plunge. There are doubts and speculations about whether Anthony can lead the company. Mr. Powell hasn’t regained consciousness after the cardiac arrest. The doctor says he may remain in a coma for weeks or even be in a persistent vegetative state. Mia and Susie have to stay at the hospital most of the time, just in case Mr. Powell wakes up. The presence of Anthony makes it hard for Mia to endure the time in the hospital. He throws fits constantly because of the media’s unfavorable reports on him. She tries her best to avoid meeting him and has to be on guard at any time. It wears her down and exhausts her more than anything. Now lying on the bed with Chris, she feels safe and relaxed again. “What are you thinking, pumpkin?” Chris’s fingers gently circle her round brea

    “I’m afraid things are not going smoothly as we planned,” Jack says and sits in the armchair next to Jason Wayne, Chris’s uncle. “What do you mean?” Jason raises an eyebrow and asks. Chris sits behind his desk facing them silently. “Anderson somehow got to know Anthony’s plan to sign the deal with Royal Airlines. He intervened and called Soltani personally saying there wouldn’t be a deal. Now Soltani wants to have further talks with us.” Jack says. “How is it possible? How could Anderson find out? Did Anthony tell him? I didn’t expect him to trust his brother so much.” Jason shakes his head. “I seriously doubt he would do so. Maybe one of his men who held a grudge against him leaked information to Anderson. He has plenty of subordinates who are disgruntled under his reign.” Neither of them knew that it was Mia who informed Anderson about Anthony’s secret talk with Soltani and hence foiled their plan. When Chris heard her talk with Anderson, he knew Anderson wouldn’t sit back and

    When Mia enters the ICU ward, Mr. Powell has been awake from his usual afternoon nap for a while. His health has improved significantly over the last two weeks. There was a time when he kept relapsing into a coma after briefly regaining consciousness. That period has finally passed and doctors say his condition is stable now. He is lying on the bed with his eyes open and blank. He seems to fail to notice the creaking of the door when Mia enters this VIP ward. He neither moves nor says anything. He aged quickly after the heart attack. His eyes have lost the usual sternness and sharpness. Lying alone in this clean ward with various medical apparatus, his authority seems to have gone as well at this moment. If you do not know who he is, you probably will think he is just like a harmless old man who is sick. Right now, he reminds Mia of an old lion. A lion that has conquered, killed, and bred, but is alone on its journey to death. “I dreamt of her.” Mr. Powell whispers, surprising Mia

    The long hallway is dim and quiet without a single soul in sight. Mia walks in the hallway cautiously, wary of any movement. After a few minutes, she finally reaches the elevator hall. Pressing the down button, she waits for the lift to arrive on her floor. She steps into the elevator when the door opens, without giving much thought to the man standing in it with his back on her. At the exact moment, the elevator door closes, fear grips her heart, and the hair on the back of her neck stands up. She pushes the open button furiously but it doesn’t work. “Got you!” A familiar and sinister voice sounds behind her. A cold ugly hand comes from behind and drags her to the corner.Mia tries to scream, but no sound comes out as if she is mute. Tears begin to roll down her cheeks. She feels so helpless. The man is too strong to fight off. “This time you are not gonna get away. I’m gonna make you pay!” the man whispers gruffly, his one hand starting to tear her clothes from her. No, no, n

    “The tracker has been installed in your watch. They will search your body and probably will make you take it off. But it’s worth a try.” Agent Thomson who is in plainclothes says calmly, handing Chris his watch. Chris nods absentmindedly. All he could think about right now is Mia. He squeezes his eyes shut and doesn’t dare to think about what she is suffering now. It is all his fault. He only brings her pain and misfortune. First her sister, now her. He is going to let that son of bitch really pay. “The call clearly requires you to go alone. We’ll tail you but keep a safe distance so that Anthony won’t cash in his promise.” Thomson continues. “I get it. I only want her safe and sound even if it's at the price of my life.” Chris says solemnly, thinking of Anthony’s threat. “Come alone. I know you have called the police. But if I see any sign of police showing up when you come, I’ll shred her into pieces, believe me or not.” Anthony warned when he called this morning at 6 am. Chr

    “What the hell are you talking about, Tara?” Chris snarls, anger simmering in his eyes. He pushes her off of him and steps back to put distance between them. Tara stumbles onto the desk, hurt written over her face. “You said you have something concerning Anthony that you want to talk with me about. But instead, you are putting on this little show and saying nonsense. What is wrong with you?” Chris waves his hands in frustration. “I…I just want to be with you. I love you.” Tara mutters, tears starting welling up in her eyes. “Don’t you get it that nothing is going to happen between us? I love Mia. As I said to you before, you will always be my friend. But don’t make me end our friendship because I won’t hesitate if you make another advance.” Chris threatens. “But that is not what you said to me when you had that mental breakdown. You said I was the only one who truly understood you. You said you love me.” Tara cries out in desperation. Heaving a sigh, Chris runs his hand down his

    Mia stands in front of the mirror and does the last check of her light makeup. Everything looks perfect. She is ready to go downstairs. An arm snakes around her waist, pulling her closer to the owner of a strong body that screams masculinity and sexiness behind her. Chris buries his face in her bare shoulder, nipping at her slightly, sending a shiver down her spine. “You look breathtaking,” he mumbles while continuing to suck the sensitive spot between her neck and the collarbone. Mia bites her lips hard to stifle a moan. “You don’t look so bad yourself,” she manages to say breathily, peering from the corner of her eyes at him. He wears an expensive tailored black suit that fits him nicely, showcasing his muscles and long legs. “Like what you see?” his lips pull into a mischievous smirk. Blood rushes to Mia’s cheeks. Chris presses his body tightly against her, letting her feel his hardness poking at her bottom. One of his hands slides up to squeeze her breast underneath the thin

    Lily enters the study with her usual elegance, the only thing changing is her attitude. She acts less haughty. She sits down crossing her legs in the chair facing Chris, who sits behind the heavy oak desk with an unreadable expression. She takes out a small black object from her white Chanel bag. Squinting her eyes, Mia recognizes it as a flash drive. Lily stares at the flash drive in her hand, hesitating to hand it out. Looking up, she gazes into Chris who stares at her with a pair of cold eyes. “Here is what you want,” she slides the flash drive to Chris’ side. With a gesture from Chris, Jack grabs the flash drive and disappears from the room. “I’ve done what you demanded. You must honor your promise.” Lily says, straightening her shoulders. “Usually I’m a man of words,” Chris says, his lips curling up into a smirk. “But we still have things unsettled, Casey.” Lily’s lips twitch, and her expression changes into shock. She tries to move her lips but nothing comes out of her

    Drumming his fingers on the desk, Chris presses his lips and reads the document in his hand carefully. “So what do you think?” Tara asks in anticipation. “Has our legal team given it a green light?” Chris raises his head from the document. “Yes, they looked into the open letter and the list of newspapers and their contacts. They okayed it yesterday. We can send the open letter to the newspapers in the afternoon. ” Tara says. “Put the plan on hold until I give it a go.” Chris pinches the bridge of his nose. “So what are we waiting for? Everything is ready.” Tara says, looking confused. “Waiting for a lethal secret,” Chris says. “What?” Tara sounds even more confused. Mia knocks on the door lightly, “Am I interrupting?” “Not at all, come in, Mia,” Chris lights up at her. “I thought you guys might need a cool refresher,” Mia says, putting two cups of iced coffee on the desk. “Right on time, thank you, beautiful,” Chris beams and grabs her hand for a kiss.

    “Good morning, pretty,” Chris’ husky voice sounds near her ear, his breaths fanning on her neck, making her body tingly. “Morning, Mr. Sexy,” Mia turns to face her, stretching her body lazily. “I have good news for you,” Chris raises himself up on one elbow. The other arm pulls her closer to his naked torso. “What is it?” Mia’s curiosity is piqued, distracting her from Chris’ tempting hard chest and bulging muscles. “Kimberly is in,” Chris grins.“Really?” Mia says with excitement.“And here is more, she wants to write an open letter with Ruby.” Mia screams with delight. “Schuh, little monster, you are waking up our neighbor,” Chris teases. “That is so far better than I thought. I thought she was going to reject joining us.” Mia beams. “She said you and Ruby gave her courage, especially your promise on my behalf.” “Are you mad that I made a promise without telling you and acquired your consent first?” “Not at all.
