Mia's POV After my experience at the party that Lorenzo took me to, I didn't want to attend another one any longer. Along with the fact that I’ve always hated socializing, while my twin drank up such attention perfectly, I was more of the isolated type that likes to stay indoors with a good book and music playing in the background.But the next morning while I was having breakfast downstairs, Lorenzo casually walked over and told me that I should start getting ready and mentally prepared, because there’s another party that he was going to take me to very soon.I stared up at him with wide eyes, while I held the fork in my hand, hoping that it would not fall from my trembling fingers. The moment I pictured myself back in any place where people would be looking at me like a circus animal, my heart sank down to my stomach and the food that I was eating became tasteless."Is there a problem?" He asked me as he settled down on the seat that was adjacent to mine. I swallowed emptily and
BREAKING NEWS: Mr LORENZO DOMENICO’s GIRLFRIEND TRIED TO HARASS MISS LAURA, THE ONLY DAUGHTER TO GOVERNOR MICHELLE MARCUS. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT WHEN MISS LAURA TRIED TO DEFEND HERSELF, Mr LORENZO INTERVENED AND THREATENED HER.Lorenzo’s eyes darkened as he saw the news, it was very obvious that he was going to destroy the news management and whoever had masterminded it.“I need you to find out who got this news released. Before this news goes wide, ask Dave to do everything in his power to take it down,” he said in a low but very authoritative tone to a man dressed in black.“Alright,” the man replied and walked away.Lorenzo stood up and began to head for the stairs, at the other end of the staircase, Mia could be seen walking down.“Have you seen the news going on about me harassing the governor’s daughter?” She quickly asked, not waiting to get to him.“How did you find out about the news?”“The television of course.”Lorenzo didn’t say any other thing until he got to her. “I
Mia's POVI really didn't want Lorenzo to kill the man so I had to intervene. "Don't kill him!" I screamed, rushing forward and standing between Lorenzo and the man who was cowering with fear on the floor.Lorenzo regarded me with an icy expression before he spoke. "And why shouldn't I kill him?" he asked coldly. "He has spread the story of a false rumor about you and you expect me to let him go? I can't and I won't! That is final and don't question me on it," he concluded."Please, Lorenzo. Don't kill him. He only did it because of money. And if you look at it very well, he doesn't know who the woman is no matter what you do to him. So please, just spare him. Let him go. We should focus all our attention into looking for this phantom woman," I pleaded, giving him an innocent wide eyed look so that he could accept my pleas.His face was still stone hard, bearing no trace of an emotion on it so I couldn't guage his reaction to my words. I didn't have an inkling of what he was thinking.
Mia’s pov That night, my room didn’t get locked.And, I took that as a good sign. It was my second night in Lorenzo’s main house, and of course, I was still nervous as hell.Heck, I’m always extremely nervous around Lorenzo.I had expected the door to get locked, but now that it didn’t get locked, I’d take that as a good sign.It hadn’t gotten locked last night, but I just assumed that it was because he had forgotten.Or perhaps, he wasn’t going to be treating me like a prisoner here, since apparently, I’m going to be his plus one from now henceforth.I wouldn’t keep my hopes up though. Knowing how fast Lorenzo’s moods change, it would be pretty dumb of me to hope for something good from him.And also because he clearly still hates me because of something which my father had done to him, something which I had no idea of, and technically, I should have no business in.But, Lorenzo didn’t see it like that.I turned around in my bed and tried to get a better position to fall asle
Mia’s pov “I-” I began to speak but trailed off after a few moments. His stare was so intense and unnerving, it made me feel extremely uneasy.A few moments passed and when I didn’t attempt to speak again, I watched as he let out a loud scoff and a shake of his head. Thinking he had already dropped it, I let out a long exhale, right before he began to inch towards me. My eyes widened and I tried to still hold the eye contact, but once he took another step closer, I hastily averted my gaze and took a step backwards.“Did I say you could look away?” His voice echoed around me almost immediately and once again, I found myself forcing myself to stare up into his face. My heart was pounding harshly against the side of my chest and I have a feeling he can currently hear it, from how loud it was echoing in my ears.“You’re getting real mouthy now, aren’t you?” He finally breathed out, standing a few feet away from me. My heart heaved was I shook my head hastily.“You’re not? But you had
Mia’s pov When I finally exited the bedroom, I hesitated briefly before slowly making my way down the stairs. I glanced down at the shirt I had on to make sure my nipples weren't poking through, like I had done a few times in the bedroom, moments ago.As I slowly walked through the house, and into the kitchen, I glanced around for Lorenzo, and then I let out a relived breath once I was in the kitchen on realizing that he’s not hovering around.The second thing I realized moments later, was that the house was void of any maid. Unlike how the house I had been held in right after I had been abducted was always bursting with maids, this one was completely empty of them right now.I remember seeing a few maids on the day Lorenzo and I had arrived here, and even the day after.Perhaps he had excused them, just so he could have the satisfaction of making me slave for him.The bastard. I let out a long sigh as I glanced around the interior of the kitchen. It looked really slick and
Mia’s pov TW: mild humiliation.. You can skip this chapter if you’re uncomfortable with that, but please keep in mind that this is a dark mafia romance book. This book would get quite darker and spicier henceforth. You’ve been warned lol.All my love, Ivy.~~~ Lorenzo shook his head, still looking very pissed off, and then slowly, he made his way into the kitchen.His eyes scanned the kitchen and I felt more mortified at the irritated look on his face as he took in the flour that’s literally everywhere in the kitchen.When he focused his gaze on me again, I felt the breath lesve my lungs on a whoosh, especially when he began to inch towards me.He didn’t stop even when he got close to me, forcing me to inch backwards, and to my horror, he kept taking a step closer to me until my back hit the edge of the counter and I couldn’t go any further.A small smirk pulled at the side of his lips as he regarded me like I was an annoying pest here in the kitchen.His body waa caging mi
Mia’s pov The word ‘humiliation’ has never applied to me in my entire life like it does to me right now.I wasn’t sure I'd ever want to actually disappear from the face of the earth like I really want to at this very moment. I watched through wide eyes as Lorenzo exited the kitchen without sparing me another look, and shame so intensely engulfed me. My heart was still racing and it didn’t seem like it was going to slow down any moment from now. I glanced down at my cloth, wrinkling my nose at the dirt all over it. My eyes wandered around the kitchen and I let out a long sigh after a few seconds, knowing that I was going to clean up all the mess I had made by mess. Without wasting much time, I decided to get to work, because I know damn well that Lorenzo was going to flip should he come down here once again to realize that I left the kitchen the way it currently is.I let out a long sigh as I picked up the rag next, and as worked, I couldn’t get the thought of what Lorenzo
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
