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
Mia’s pov “You… you didn’t mean all of that back there, did you?” I found myself asking before Lorenzo could even start the car. The question had been eating at my insides since the moment they left his mouth and that why I hadn’t been able to control myself to wait before asking said question.Lorenzo didn’t respond and instead motioned for me to do my seatbelt and in no time, he was driving out of the neighborhood, right into the busy road.The car ride was silent and it made me have the time to lose myself into my thoughts. I was still yet to recover from the fact that woman had tried to hurt Maeve and I just because of our father. It was clear that people in the mafia world don’t usually care that a child doesn’t have anything to do with said situation, all those kinds of people care about is getting their revenge, dosent matter if an innocent child would be the one to pay for it.That took me back to the point where Lorenzo’s aunt had called me a monster for defending a monster.
Mia’s pov When Lorenzo licked into my mouth once again, I tried to stop any noise from slipping past my mouth, but it got impossible when his mouth latched unto my tongue and suckled on it, causing me to mewl into his open mouth.Lorenzo is currently on a call with someone important. He had asked me not to distract him and had been pretty serious about it, but I couldn’t help myself because he was sitting right there in bed, completely shirtless and looking like an actual wet dream.And so I carefully approached him. His eyes had narrowed at once as he shook his head once, but I paid a blind eye to it and crawled over his laps until I was perched atop him. It wasn’t a zoom call so it wasn’t like the person he was talking to was gonna know what’s currently happening at this side of the phone.Lorenzo mouth was pursed as he tried to shove me off more than once. He was clearly irritated, eyes motioning for me to get off and leave him, but I only giggled in his face and clung unto him ev
Mia’s pov “Seriously, just tell me what’s in there.” I said without glancing back at Lorenzo because I was still busy staring at the closed door which I’ve been curious of since I could remember. I’ve never seen Lorenzo open the door before and whenever I tried the doorknobs, it never gave.Lorenzo snorted in response as he rolled off the bed and come to stand beside me.“Take a guess. What do you think is inside?” He asked and I shrugged because nothing was coming to mind.“I honestly have no idea, so just go ahead and tell me, or open it already, cause you’re killing me this way.” I continued and Lorenzo let out a small laugh while shaking his head.“You know what I think? I think you’re way too dramatic for your own good.” He murmured and I rolled my eyes as I pointed at the door.“Just open it already.”He nodded towards the door. “It’s not locked.” He responded and I blinked at him in confusion.“It’s not? Cause I’ve tried opening it countless times and nothing ever works.” I po
Mia’s pov “What is a dom and a sub?” I asked after a few seconds. Lorenzo let out a long breath after that and then he glanced up at the roof.When Lorenzo glanced down at me, he let out a small breath before starting to speak. “More like ‘who’, not ‘what’.” He corrected and I slowly nodded my head in understanding.“A dominant is someone who’s always in control, someone who’s in power, or superior to the other… while a submissive is someone who tends to seek for guidance, control and confidence from the dominant. A submissive is someone who’s ready to put their trust in a dominant, because they know that the dominant wouldn’t ever hurt them or lead them astray.” He paused and I swallowed emptily, all what he had just said was still flying around the inside of my head but I was gradually digesting them all.“That’s where bondage, discipline and sadism comes in.” He continued after a few moments and I nodded at him, watching as he launched into a very detailed explanation of every
Mia’s pov “I had a lover back then, I kept it away from you because I wasn’t sure you’d approve. He was a little bit older back then, but was very good looking and brilliant. We were in love. After I realized that I was betrothed to Mr. Romero, he suggested we eloped, he was ready to turn his back on his family for me, and I followed him, because well, our lives were already miserable, so I took the first outing I saw. It killed me doing that because then I knew you’d be subjected to my fate, but I just had to be selfish, you know?”As she spoke, I felt shocked to the core on realizing that I really didn’t know my twin like I used to think.It made me feel chills run down my spine as I stared at her right now.I used to think we were best friends, that we didn’t keep secrets from each other. But, it’s very clear that I had been wrong.“I wouldn’t have been selfish though. I’d never have done that to you,” I ended up whispering after a few moments because it was the truth. That was
Mia’s pov “There’s a little traffic but we should be at our destination in no time.” One of my guards who was today’s designated driver called out and I nodded in response, flashing him a warm smile.“Of course, thank you.”I relaxed into my seat after that, letting my mind wander around. I had left the house almost two hours ago, because I wanted to get something for Lorenzo amongst other things. Lorenzo had taken it upon himself to make my birthday the best day I’ve ever experienced in my entire life, and till now, it still manages to make me giddy whenever I think about it.It started with a birthday sex. Lorenzo said that’s the best way to celebrate being a year older and I really couldn’t agree more. After that, we went to the various locations Lorenzo had listed out. He managed to arrange surprises in every single location that I kept smiling from ear to ear as we exited each location. It felt insane to even comprehend. He showered me with so many gifts that still makes
Lorenzo’s pov I found myself drawing up into a sitting position along with her. Her eyes were wide open and she was staring straight ahead. Her mouth were parted in what I’d term as shock, and I wasn’t sure of what to make of her reaction to the brought up topic.Wasn’t I supposed to bring it up? Or, is this also a part of the bunch of stuff she read online?“Is something wrong?” I asked as I reached for her hand. Her eyes were still blown wide when it locked with mine.“I- I didn’t come to your office, it wasn’t me at all, I swear.” She breathed out, grip tight around my fingers. I nodded my head as I tried getting her to relax.“It wasn’t a bad thing, Mia. We were just having fun, weren’t we? Is this also a part of the stuff you read online? For you to act this way when the topic gets brought up, hm?” I asked, watching as her eyes widened even more before she frantically shook her head.“No, no. Lorenzo, you’re not getting what I’ve been saying. You’re yet to understand.” She be
Lorenzo’s pov Mia’s lips were slightly parted as she slept peacefully atop me. We had been lazily discussing about a bunch of random things before she slowly drifted off to sleep. I was sitting on the couch in the sitting room and she was perched over my laps, curled up in a cute ball. I felt my heart sting flutter a little as I let my gaze wander over inch of her face.She was so gorgeous that it sometimes hurts to look at, it makes me wonder how her peers hadn’t been ridiculously jealous of her while they had all been growing up together.She let out a small yawn as she snuggled into me even more, causing me to smile fondly as I reached out to brush the small strand off her out of her face.I was madly, stupidly, ridiculously in love with her that it was ridiculous to sometimes to think about. It was ridiculous before it had never crossed my mind that I’d one day ever have this much raw, intense person got someone, for someone whose father had ruined my life decades ago.I lo
Mia’s pov I was busy cleaning the counter when Lorenzo said most unexpected thing ever.“I love you.”It was just three words, but it made everything stumble to a stop in my mind as soon as it registered in my mind. I blinked once, shock resonating in my mind as I slowly glanced up from what I was doing to blink at Lorenzo. He was standing at the other side of the island, hand lastly wrapped around a glass of drink.His eyes was lazily trained on me and I blinked once while wondering if I had heard wrong. He hummed as he lazily walked around the island till he was standing in front of me. One of his fingers tipped my head backwards until I was staring into his eyes.“I love you.” He breathed out softly and I felt my lips tremble in shock.“I- I thought I heard wrong.” I whispered and he snorted, a small grin tugging at his lips.“You clearly didn’t.” He hummed, eyes glistening.The words swirled around my mind, right into the middle of my heart to settle there.I love you.
Mia’s pov “I guess I understand where you’re coming from, I’d just be lying if I claim to not understand, seeing as I also grew up with so many dumb stereotypes.” I breathed out before pulling away from his grip, back facing him as I folded my arms around my middle.“But I still don’t like it though. Why do random women have to sit on you like that? That should always be me and no one else.” I breathed out. It took a few minutes for Lorenzo to be blanketing me with his large body from behind as he spoke.“You jealous, princess?”I scoffed and almost pulled away from his grip but his hold was unmoving.“Of course I am. Who wouldn’t be jealous? You tell me, wouldn’t you be jealous if you see me perched on a random man’s laps?” I asked and I felt his grip tightened around my waist almost immediately as he nosed at the side of my throat.“I wouldn’t be jealous.” He finally mumbled in response and I scoffed because I knew he was lying through his teeth. He hated the thought of othe
Mia’s pov I had just returned from the mall where I had gone to shop for knitting supplies when the text had arrived in my phone.‘Come over to my working spot, miss you’Along with an address attached.The text had arrived from an unsaved number but I could tell Lorenzo had been the one who sent the mail because the address was one of his clubs which I haven’t been to yet. It was already early evening and I wasn’t really doing anything; so I decided to go get ready because I miss him and couldn’t wait to see him.I’d have put a call through to him first but I didn’t any to do that, I wanted to just arrive there like that, and that’s exactly what I had in mind as I got ready. It didn’t take long for me to settle on something to wear, and putting a light makeup on as well. Once I was done, I gave the address to one of my guards and we were driving over to the location almost immediately.The drive was a bit long but as soon as we pulled up at the location, I felt energized al
Mia’s pov After Lorenzo went to his meeting, and that was had to convince me to stay in the office and not come into the neighboring room where the meeting was taking place in. After he left, because I was bored. It didn’t take long for me to fall asleep. My initial plan was to ignore his words and walk into the meeting, but because he had sounded quite serious while asking me not to come in, I decided to obey his instructions like a good girl xxWhen I blinked my eyes open, Lorenzo was crouching in front of me, fingers moving through my hair strands and a soft look in his eyes as our eyes locked.“Why did I think you weren't gonna listen to me and was gonna come into that meeting?” He murmured softly as his hand brushed over my cheek to rest a thumb over my bottom lip.I couldn’t help the snort that escaped my lips. “You’d be surprised by how well i can listen to instructions.” I breathed out and he laughed softly. When I sat up moments later, I arched a brow at him.“Was th
Mia’s pov I was accompanying Lorenzo to the office today and I was very excited about that. This decision came up after I complained about being bored to Lorenzo. He decided that the change of scenery would do me good, and that he’d also like me to be to his office got the first time. I had been hyped as soon as he informed me that he I’ll be going with him, which is why I’m currently bursting with excitement. We’re currently in the car which and as usual, I fiddled with the radio while trying to settle on what to listen to.“Do you have anything in mind that you’d like to do today?” Lorenzo asked and I turned the question around in my head for a few minutes.“Something like what?” I asked and he shrugged one of his shoulders.“Anything, it doesn’t have to be something special or serious.” He suggested and I contemplated on what he said after a long while before responding.“We could go play a game.” I suggested and when he snorted, I glared at him.“You told me to pick anyt
