Mia’s pov As I watched Lorenzo leave, a scowl settled on my face. He hasn’t even bothered to inform me of where it is that I’m accompanying him to, so I’d know what to actually dress in.I scowled down at my plate, slowly losing the interest to keep on eating my breakfast now that my mood has been ruined. With a long sigh, I pushed my chair back and rose to my feet, and then I began to clear out the table at once. After making the first trip to the kitchen, the chef hurried out along with me and hastily began to assist me with clearing the rest of the table.“Was there something wrong with the food, ma’am?” She asked once the table had been completely cleared and we were both in the kitchen, standing across each other.I felt taken aback and instantly began to shake my head.“What? Why would you think that?” I asked in shock and she gestured to the counter behind me where the reat of the food was splayed out on.“I noticed you didn’t eat yours well, and same with the boss
Mia’s pov Once the dress pooled around my feet, it took a few moments for me to step out of it because I was trying to get my bearings together. My heartbeat has accelerated and my face felt hot enough to fry an egg due to how much mortification I’m currently feeling.I could feel Lorenzo’s eyes on my back, on the curve of my ass in the flimsy underwear I had worn beneath the dress. I hadn’t worn a bra underneath the dress, which is why I’m still yet to turn around to face him.I swallowed emptily while wondering if he expects me to turn around and walk over to the closet with my chest completely bare while he’s in here right now, but as the train of thought was still going on in my head, the sound of his footsteps retreating echoed around the room, tugging me out of my thoughts at once.Next, I heard the familiar sound of the closet getting opened and I felt a weird feeling settled in my stomach at the thought of Lorenzo finding what he wants me to wear tonight by himself.Becau
Mia’s pov After the heads up Lorenzo had been considerate enough to give me, the little bravado that I had managed to muster, completely crumbled at once. I bit on my bottom lip while glancing around. Lorenzo was still situated beside him, a glass of untouched drink in his hand while his second one was still firmly pressing into the curve of my hips like a searing iron. I puffed out a small breath and tried to get my bearings together. A few stutters kept going on around me, which is indication enough that our pictures are being taken at different intervals by the press, and I’m sure Lorenzo wouldn’t be pleased one bit should I appear anything but confident and in my element, in the pictures.As I worried my lips once again, I wondered which unfortunate person– or people is going to be Lorenzo’s prey tonight. Someone walked up to Lorenzo and whispered something into his ear, in which he gruffed at before giving a tense nod of his head right before the person disappeared into
Mia’s pov Lorenzo tugged the dude who had been trembling in his seat in front of us and asked that he say his last words, right before he shot him at the side of his throat. At this point, everything had scattered completely and blood was splattered on the front of Lorenzo’s white undershirt. At that point, he had already killed over five people, and I could barely suck in a deep breath without trembling in fear while still curled in my seat and taking everything in all at once with wide eyes.I had almost gotten shot at once by a dude who began to shoot back at me, but Lorenzo hurled me out of the chair and pinned me against his side as he emptied his gun in the person’s chest, grip tight around me. “Get my other gun out from underneath my shirt, the left part.” He ordered urgently as he moved us sideways and shot at a dude that was about to reach for his gun which had fallen from his hand after Lorenzo had shot it. My entire body was trembling in fright and my head felt woozy fro
Lorenzo’s pov “Now, get out.”I wasn’t surprised when she jolted, having been clearly lost in her thoughts a few moments ago. She turned around in her seat and blinked a couple of times.“What?” She whispered and for the life of me, I couldn’t help but think about leaning towards her and slotting my lips with hers.“We’ve arrived, so off you go. I have somewhere important to be at.” Her eyes darted everywhere for a moment as realization dawned on her, and then she mumbled an inaudible ‘oh’ as she proceeded to unbuckle her seat belt. “Uh, thanks for the phone, I guess?” She said next, voice unsure and when I kept staring at her without saying a thing, she gave a few nods of her head while audibly berating herself over slipping once again and thanking me when I had informed her about not liking it over breakfast, yesterday’s morning.She pushed the door open and closed it a fleeting moment, and then she began to walk towards the house without a backward glance. Of course, my eyes da
Lorenzo‘s pov At first, I hadn’t realized it was in that direction that I was driving in, until I was almost there, was when it dawned on me that I had began to drive towards there without even realizing it.As I exited the meeting office, a lot of thoughts filled up my head at once, and even though I hated to admit it, I had actually taken what Drake had said to heart a little. When he had said people might see me as weak for not killing her yet.I knew it was fruitless for ne to attempt considering killing her niw, cause deep down, I knew I won’t end up doing it. Thinking about her large green eyes blinking up at me right now was enough to remind me that there was no way in hell I’d be able to actually kill her.So many thoughts ran through my mind as I left the building in my car, and as soon as I began to drive, I hadn’t realized where I was heading to, until a few minutes ago.I was driving towards my childhood home.The house where I had grew up in. The home where I had
Lorenzo’s pov “Bella?” I called out in nothing but surprise as I watched the brunette whom I haven’t set my eyes on in months, saunter her way towards me to plop into the spot in front of me.“Enzo! You look surprised to see me.” She said with a giggle and I almost let out a grimace at how the sound grated on my nerves. I had been in so much thought before she arrived, and that said thought was about none other than Mia.After I exited Alex‘s place, I got a few things done and even attended a quick meeting. I had just rounded the meeting up about a few minutes ago before Bella has reappeared unannounced.“Of course, I am. You suddenly disappeared.”She giggled once again, hand moving up to twirl a strand of her hair as she blinked her eyes at me a couple of times before speaking. “So you did miss me enough to notice my absence.”I almost snorted at her absurdity because frankly, I hadn’t thought about her for once since the moment she suddenly disappeared, but I decided to keep
Lorenzo’s pov The scene I walked into on getting home, was so unexpected, it made me come to a standstill at once. It was a scene of Mia, kneeling on one of the couches beside the window. She was looking out of it and singing a song while filled up the entire room. It was a familiar song that forced out some of the memories which I had shut down so many years ago. Her voice sounded like that of a siren, beautiful, melodic and oh so soothing.She didn’t know she wasn’t alone, because she kept on swaying from side to side as each verse rolled off her tongue. I leaned my head against the doorframe and let out a low curse. The fact that I had hoped to have fucked her out of my system a few hours ago, only for me to arrive here to an image like this which has only made me to once again be thinking of her over and over again.She was singing a familiar song which my mother used to sing to me when I had been young. The song was in Italian, a language which I had no idea she was flue
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
