Mia’s pov

Lorenzo’s face was void of all emotion, which unnerved me in a hundred ways at the same time.

The incident that had occurred between us back in the kitchen, hours ago, drifted into my mind in that moment and I found myself flushing in embarrassment as I glanced away.

I clasped the edge of my towel and pulled it tightly, feeling completely bare in his presence right now.

“Why are you staring at me like a fish out of water? Like you’ve seen a ghost or something.” He rasped out, eyebrows arched and I found myself blinking in confusion, while trying to figure out if he was being for real right now.

The reason why I’m currently staring at him right now should be plain as day to everyone who’s a little bit smart. Lorenzo was far from being a little bit smart, he’s a whole lot of smart, so I’m very sure he knows exactly why I’m staring at him the way I currently am.

I shifted my weight from foot to foot, chewing at the inside of my cheeks as I made to speak.

“You’re staring–” I be

    Mia’s pov The relief that flooded me at Lorenzo’s was intense and I instantly tried not to make it obvious on my face.I had begun to feel hungry and the strength which I had used to clean the mess I made in the kitchen had made me drain the little energy I had.I had thought he was going to make me starve for the entire day especially after he seemed to have been extremely angry at me while we had been in the kitchen, but I guess one thing Lorenzo really likes, was to do the unexpected.And this right here, is why it’s extremely hard for me to fire him out. There was no way I’d be able to do that if his personally keeps changing at different intervals.“Oh.” I finally mumbled and then I glanced around for a few moments before slowly nodding my head. Lorenzo was still regarding me pointedly and the look in his eyes made me squirm a little, right before he rolled his eyes in what I’d term as irritation.“You’re still yet to get some damn shoes on.” He pointed out and I jumped a

    Mia’s pov “You need to dress extravagantly tonight.” Those were the first words that left Lorenzo‘s mouth as soon as he turned off the accelerator right in front of the large black gate of the mansion.As soon as we finished in the restaurant, Lorenzo didn’t waste time in clearing off the bills. As the bills were getting cleared, he didn’t stop staring at me, making me squirm beneath the intensity of his gaze.As we exited the restaurant, Lorenzo had nodded his head at me before starting to speak.“Go on. I’ll walk right behind you.” Not liking why he was already turning that into a habit, I squared my chin and demanded why he was asking me to do that, but he had warned me to stop asking him stupid questions, forcing me to swallow the rest of words bubbling .in my throat.As I walked right in front of him, I felt his gaze on me the entire time until I got into the passenger seat of his car.“You can catch a little bit of sleep now.” He said right before he started the engine of the

    Mia’s pov “Come closer some more.” His voice was husky as he spoke, and as each word slipped past his lips, so did my nerves increase a notch higher.When he had begun to explain where it was that he was taking me to, without me having to ask, had left me feeling extremely shocked because that was something Lorenzo would never do. Even if I had asked him, he’d choose to not reveal any details to me, so it had shocked me to the core to listen to him give me an actual explanation of where we were headed to tonight.On getting to the said destination, I had thought we were going to head into the building almost immediately, not expecting what he said next about me inching close to him.The look on his face unnerved me so much, making it completely impossible for me to hold his gaze. When he had slowly and thoroughly looked me up and down on arriving to pick me up hours ago, I had felt so unnerved on feeling his gaze glide over every inch of my body, that I had wished for the ground

    Mia’s pov As we drew closer to a very tall duplex, Lorenzo shook my grip off his bicep, and before I could wonder why he did that, his arm was slipping around my waist, tugging me firmly against his side.And next, the doors got thrown open before I could even attempt to get myself together.Lorenzo had said this was important.He had said it was important that I play my part well tonight. Color flood my cheeks at the realization that everyone who take a look at me would see how disheveled I look, thinking I had done something really improper with Lorenzo in the car, not knowing that he had made me look like this on purpose. I didn’t want to ruin tonight. I want to do a good job, not because I’m currently enjoying doing this, but because I didn’t want to get on Lorenzo’s bad side should I ruin tonight’s plan.He had informed me that he was going to be touching and being all over me in the presence of the people we’d be having dinner with, so I really shouldn’t have felt my h

    Mia’s pov “What do you think you’re doing?” Lily’s sickening high voice wasn’t scratchy as she demanded angrily, while regarding me with so much hatred in her eyes.If her intent of killing me with her sharp gaze ends up being possible, I’d end up beneath the ground in an instant.When I had excused myself from the table, I already had a feeling she was going to come after me like the spoilt daddy’s girl that she is.“Checking my makeup to see if it’s still intact, obviously.” I responded, sounding absentminded on purpose as I used my fingers to trace my eyeshadow. The scowl on Lily’s face darkened as she stepped into the restroom and pushed the door shut behind her.“If you weren’t being such a cheap slut, you’d have realized that your lipgloss had been smeared since your arrival here.” She pointed out, folding her hands over her chest, making her large boobs get more exposed. Her dress was just as exposed as mine, and if I hadn’t dressed this exposed, I’d appear underdressed c

    Mia’s pov As soon as the door closed in our faces, I felt myself tense up in Lorenzo’s arms, making it almost hard for me to breathe as we began to walk towards his car until he dropped his hand.I was looking at everywhere but at him, while wondering if I had overstepped in there, not knowing how Lorenzo actually felt about the girl, and if he had liked that I had gotten into a fight with that Lily girl.After a few moments, I blurted out the next words that came to mind.“I wasn’t the one who started the fight.” Lorenzo remained silent after that, and the only indication that he had indeed heard what I had said was the little arch of his eyebrow as he regarded me with a flat look, which made me avert my gaze. “I wasn’t the one who hit her first, or—” I continued after a few seconds because I couldn’t stop the words from coming forth, but the words died on my tongue when Lorenzo abruptly stopped walking.Not knowing what to expect from him, I stopped walking as well, and al

    Mia’s pov On blinking my eyes open, I stared up into the roof for a few minutes while thinking about multiple things at once. I let out a long breath and rolled to the side, eyes landing on the window whose curtains were slightly parted in a way that let the sun into the bedroom a little. I let out a long sigh and glanced away from it, and then I slid out from the bed, tugging the curtains shut completely as I walked past it, heading towards the bathroom. As I cleaned my teeth, I found myself lost in thoughts while staring at my reflection in the mirror.After taking a quick shower which left me feeling extremely refreshed, I checked out the side of my face where I got slapped in last night by Lily, which I had thought was going to end up bruising. Thankfully, it didn’t end up bruising, only purpling a little. I patted it gently and lattared the ointment over it, and then I regarded it in the mirror once again.As I did that, I noticed the bruise at the side of my throat, and

    Mia’s pov Surprisingly, he didn’t force the food into my mouth like he had done yesterday. But, he also didn’t invite me to come eat out with him.Instead, he ignored me and ordered food for himself, eating it by himself and leaving me to starve, which made annoyance brew inside of me.I knew it was pretty absurd of me to be feeling entitled to this extent; but I don't even care.I’m being held against my own will, being forced to prepare a bunch of stupid ass food which I’ve never been made to prepare in my entire life. It’s only fair that he fed me, since he had literally kidnapped me in the first place.I didn’t bother to hide my scowl each time our eyes met.I diligently cleaned up the entire kitchen which I had turned upside down when attempting to prepare breakfast this morning, and as usual, it was extremely stressful. The smell of Lorenzo’s food which kept wafting into my nose wasn’t helping matters as well.I let out a sigh every now and then as I worked, wishing there was

    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

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
