Mia’s pov “Put me down.” I demanded for the tenth time but Lorenzo didn’t seem like he was paying me any heed once again because he only chuckled against my ear and proceeded to spin me around, emitting crackles and screams from me until I was too dizzy to do anything but let out gasps of breaths.It was clear that Lorenzo was in a good mood, since the moment he woke up this morning. I had been the one to wake up first between the two of us, probably because i fell asleep first after waiting for Lorenzo to emerge from the zoom meeting he had been having in his office.He had woken up this morning and had instantly accused me of watching him like a creep.He seemed to be in a very bubbly mood, one which I couldn’t really place my finger on, but I was glad that he was currently free mind and having some sort of fun.He finally put me down as per my request, but what happened after that? Because I was still hella dizzy, I instantly tripped and was already falling on the gr
Mia’s pov When Lorenzo and I stepped out, it was like the entire world stopped.One moment and everyone were doing something else, the paparazzis were taking pictures and interviews certain people, but in the next moment, a fleeting moment after we exited the car, all eyes were on us.It was like the world stopped and then right after that, we were being rushed at. I held my head high because I knew I looked extremely good and because I knew I was no longer held against my own will by Lorenzo, but instead, I’m staying with him of my own accord.Before the paparazzi could get close to us, Lorenzo’s guards were already there to shove them away, which I was grateful about because I wouldn’t want cameras or microphones thrusted right in front of me.The people who the paparazzi had been taking pictures of and interviewing before we arrived all got abandoned at once as soon as we arrived and that made me snicker in my head. All eyes followed us as we walked into the hall where the
Mia’s pov My heartbeat slowed down before halting for a few seconds. As I stared at her right now, I felt my eyes began to sting as so many emotions began to run through my mind in that moment.She hasn’t seen me yet and I wished I could turn around and exist this place at once because I knew that seeing me tonight was only bring her more pain. As I stared at her exchange some words with two more women, my heart went out to her because in a way, she ended up losing her two and only daughters at once. To me, she looked like she had aged from the last time I laid eyes on her, which was on the wedding day.The lines on her face which had barely been present back then are now very prominent and it made me feel so gutted. I bit on my bottom lip while wondering if Lorenzo would let me go over to her and engage in a conversation with her if I ask him, because the urge to engulfe her in a hug consumed me so much in that moment.I was still deep in thoughts when her eyes moved sideways
Mia’s pov I stared at him in disbelief while panting hard. The shock and fear at the thought of him killing my mother along with my father coursed through me even as his response was still reechoing in my head and my mind.Somehow, I couldn’t bring myself to believe his response.“You’re lying.” I whispered as I slowly sant against the wall behind my back. Tears were brimming my eyes and as I stared at Lorenzo through my blurry eyes, it began to dawn on me that he was indeed an heartless monster.Lorenzo remained silent after a few minutes and slowly, the tears fell out of my eyes, rolling down my cheeks.“Please don’t kill her.” I whispered through the sob bubbling in my throat. My entire body felt like it was engulfed in iced water and the thought of my mother winding up dead because of something she isn’t aware of kept making me feel like I wanted to puke.“Please don’t kill her.” I continued to whisper over and over as the tears continued to fall, and I didn’t realize when Lorenz
Lorenzo’s pov My hand was massaging my forehead and once again, I realized that I had tuned the meeting out. One of my men was saying something, all of which I hadn’t caught because I had zoned out.“Sir, what I said was, what if we kill his wife? We could make it as gruesome as possible.” He repeated himself and at once, the pounding of my head only managed to intensify drastically.“I actually think this is a great idea.” Another one spoke up and the rest of the men hummed in support.From the onset, Mia was the one who was supposed to be killed and sent back home to her father. But, the plans somehow got changed, which leaves us with almost nothing to work with.“You all are a bunch of fools.” I finally spoke up and everyone slowly cleared their throats and averted their gazes.“Did that monster looked like he give two fucks about his wife? Absolutely not, so how do you think it’s gonna create the thinnest dent in his heart? Hm?” Once I was done speaking, I could see the gears tur
Mia’s pov I stretched my hand out, fingers slowly brushing against my twin’s fingers while we both giggled. The entire place reeked of gasoline, but neither of us minded. The expression I could see on my twin’s face is one I was certain I was mirroring. There was not a single care in our minds, all we cared about was about each other’s wellbeing.“What’s that?” My twin asked and I stared down at what I hadn’t noticed on my hand. It was a knife, a thin one, and my fingers were tightly wrapped around it. I hastily dropped the knife in horror and took a few steps away from it.When I glanced back at my twin, she was grinning and rolling her eyes as she closed the distance and picked the knife up.“Stop being such a baby.” She hummed out as she rose to her full height while staring at the knife in facination, eyes gleaming In curiosity.“Stop looking at it like that, discard of it, it’s a dangerous thing to be cradling like that.” I whispered slowly while staring at her. When sh
Lorenzo’s pov “Wanna come with me?” I asked with my head pillowed against Mia’s soft stomach. Her fingers which had been moving around the scalp of my head slowly stilled almost immediately.“I know you wouldn’t let me know but I’m still curious, you know I can’t help it, which is why I’m still gonna ask where that is.” She mumbled in response and I scoffed before tilting my head backwards till I was staring at her face, but in an upside down position.“Does it mean that you wouldn’t agree to come with me because you’re curious?” I asked and she pursed her lips before shaking her head in response. Her hands reached down and clasped my cheeks as she began to speak.“You know I’d still come with you, so just tell me where!” She whined and I chuckled before pulling away from her and rising to my feet. I held a hand out for her and tugged her off the bed in the next moment.“I’m going to pay my aunt a visit.” I explained and I watched as she blinked in surprise.“Your aunt?” She ec
Lorenzo’s pov “What? You wanna act clueless right now?” I taunted on a laugh filled with disbelief as I stared at her lean against the wall behind her.“Isn’t that why you’re so shocked to see Mia right now, because you also tried to kill her at a point.” I continued easily and I felt Mia stiffen even more against me, meanwhile the entire color had disappeared from my aunt‘a face.Her mouth kept opening and closing for a few seconds with nothing coming out, which made me roll my eyes and scoff in irritation.“You aren’t gonna say anything?” I demanded on a snort.“I- I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She finally managed to get out, voice cracking along the way.“There’s no use for you to deny it because I have the proofs of that, okay?” I continued. Mia glanced up at me after that, eyes filled with confusion and worry. She was chewing at the inside of her mouth at first before speaking.“What are you talking about?” She whispered. I stared at her after that, eyes taking
