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 It took a few long seconds for me to get my bearings together, and as soon as I did, I realized a lot of things at once.Which were firstly; I was on top of Lorenzo, splayed out on top of his body, and secondly, I could feel all the hardness of his body underneath mine, that even the hard surface of his stomach burned the skin of my palm through the material of his shirt.Thirdly, my face was a few inches away from Lorenzo’s in this state, and before I could even think, I let out a startled squeak and attempted to pull away from his grip at once.The grip he had on my right wrist prevented me from doing that, along with his second hand sliding across my waist to pin me against him and color flooded my cheeks at once in the next moment.My heart was pounding super fast and it was unnerving for me to keep staring into Lorenzo’s eyes in this position, and so I tried to avert my gaze, choosing to focus on the exposed skin of his throat, which I realized almost immediately
Lorenzo’s pov As I watched Mia flee, it took everything in me to not go after her, like she was a prey who was edging me towards some kind of mock race.I let out a harsh breath and glanced down at my hand which had been wrapped around her waist minutes ago and I clenched that hand tightly as a low curse slipped past my lips.Her waist had felt ridiculously tiny in my grip, that I wanted to shove her shirt up to come in contact with her warm skin but had to stop myself from doing that after a moment’s rethinking.She had felt so damn good on top of me, a welcomed, pleasant, warm weight that I didn’t want her to ever get up.I knew I was already in deep than I even realized, which isn’t a good thing at all.I had long established the fact that I wouldn’t be able to kill her like I had planned to, despite how much I want to. But, lusting after her wasn’t what I was supposed to be doing. I should instead be looking for multiple other ways in which I could still make her father p
Mia’s pov As I carefully climbed down the stairs, I made sure to be as quiet as possible. It’s past midnight and I’m currently creeping towards the kitchen because I couldn’t ignore the hunger pangs any longer.The last meal I had was the one Lorenzo had forced me into accepting, right before the weird encounter between us had taken place. After I fled the sitting room once I was able to; I made sure to remain in my bedroom throughout the rest of the day, because I didn’t want to come across Lorenzo no matter what. The large wall clock in the sitting room clearly read 12:26am.It’s quite late, and I’d have been fast asleep by this time on a normal day.As I made my way into the kitchen, my stomach began to growl at once. I knew there wasn’t any snack or easily prepared food laying around in the kitchen, I can tell because I’ve thoroughly turned the kitchen around the two times I had been forced to prepare breakfast. The only reason I’m here right now, is because I had hop
