Mia’s pov It just turned out to be that the man whom I’m supposed to charm is ugly as hell and reeling strongly of cigar, which was enough to want to make me run to the other side of the room at once.There were four men present, along with Lorenzo, who was clearly the youngest one in their midst. Lorenzo wasn’t the only one who brought along a woman, another person whom I heard being referred to as Alex, also brought along a woman who was dressed in an attire identical to mine, but instead of a top, hers was a sports bra. Of course we weren’t introduced, because we weren’t important enough for that, and of course I didn’t mind, if that meant I wouldn’t be paid a lot of attention to. But I knew that wouldn’t be possible because we weren't on the open field right now, and there weren't enough people on the field to take every attention off me.When Lorenzo gave me the look which he had informed me of beforehand, I dutifully walked off to the man and began to do what I hoped was comi
Mia’s pov I stared at the images flickering across the television, not following what was currently happening on it because my mind had been wandering around for a while now. I let out a small sigh and shifted around in my seat, feet curling beneath my weight on the couch. I remained in that position before letting out an exasperated huff as I reached for the remote and switched off the television at once, finally plunging myself into a quiet sitting room.A few moments after doing that, I proceeded to switch it back on, because the quiet noises coming from the television were better than the sitting room being completely silent.A lot of things have been on my mind and even though the noises from the television were making my focus wane, it was still better than the sitting room being completely silent. I regarded my phone which I had been rubbing my thumbs against, atop my thighs. After I figured my way around the phone with the help of the internet, the first thing I did was to
Mia’s pov My mouth dropped open in disbelief as I took in Lorenzo’s entire appearance. He didn’t even seem to be in pain from the look on his face right now. Instead, he looked like he was annoyed as hell. Blood was seeping out of his left hand over the tiles here in the sitting room, and a large part of his chest area was also colored a dark red. I felt a wave of dizziness washed over me in that moment, which I made sure to fight away at all cost.Lorenzo took one look at me before stallkimh over to one of the couches and sinking into it, and then he began to take his shirt off. I bit on my bottom lip, not knowing what it was that I was supposed to be doing right now. Lorenzo let out a low groan as he tugged the shirt off his arm and I felt myself flinch a little while unconsciously shifting backwards.I felt my heart tightened at once as soon as my eyes settled on the bleeding wound on his bicep. It made me get engulfed in a feeling of queasyess, which I fought off at once, be
Mia’s pov “Did you mean I’m supposed to mesh it this way?” I asked without glancing away from the bowl of potatoes staring back at me. I was starting to learn how to prepare some food, and on telling Kat about it, she was only too happy to help me learn.I had no idea cooking was this pleasant until after I actually got involved in it, even though I’m just still learning. I wasn’t doing this because I used to have a passion for it. Cooking was something that has never crossed my mind before. Apart from the times Lorenzo forced me to cook, I’ve never attempted it: but now that I was trying it out of my own free will, without any sort of pressure, it felt really nice. Girls born into mafia families aren’t even expected to learn how to cook, because it’s expected that every family would have their personal cooks and maids. While growing up, I learned multiple languages at once, how to play three musical instruments and some other things, which was why learning how to cook was never
Mia’s pov Once again, he had refrained from telling me where it was that we were going to, and I was almost tempted to scream at him as I watched him slowly climb down the stairs to asked him if he’d die should he actually tell me where it was that we were going to tonight.If I had felt like asking him how his wound was fairing, the urge to do that was already out the window at this point.With an irritated huff, I whirled around and made my way into my bedroom, slamming the door close and sinking down behind it. I contemplated on what I could possibly dress up in, in an hour's time and then I let out a long sigh because nothing came to mind.After about ten minutes of still being seated against the door, I reluctantly pulled myself up in order to go get ready, because I remembered that he had asked me to not keep him waiting, which means he’d definitely not be pleased should I delay him at all.I took a quick shower and decided on a dress which I looked up and down a few times. Th
Mia’s pov “To begin with, what even are you doing here right now?” I demanded while regarding her and shaking my head at once. She had two girls with her, girls were were obviously some sort of followers to her.“We’re here to teach you some lessons.” One of the girls who had short, blonde hair responded while folding her hands at once. She looked like she wanted to pull my hair or something right now, which is very wild to me because I’ve never met her before. “You know, for one, it’s not only ridiculous that you and your minions have decided to come corner me here in the restroom, you had to also arrive with two followers. Tell me, Lily, are you that scared of me?” I continued, eyes gleaming on purpose as I spoke, while knowing it was going to get on her nerves at once. A scowl gathered on Lily’s face as soon as my words sank into her head, and I watched as shock crossed her two follower faces, which proved that indeed, Lily had kept the details of the both of us getting in
Mia’s pov My mouth fell open but nothing could come out of it. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard, which was why I’m currently rooted in this particular spot while trying to wrap my head around what I had just heard.Lorenzo said he was going to be killing me tomorrow.Which means he’s finally putting his plan into action like he said he was going to.It felt like my ears were ringing right after that, which prevented me from being able to listen to the rest of Lorenzo’s call. It also prevented me from moving away till Lorenzo turned around and sighted me.A surprised look crossed his face as he shoved his phone into his pocket before reaching for me. My heart hammered harshly against the sides of my ribs in crumbling fear as he tugged me against him. The fact that he’s currently acting like he isn’t planning on taking my life tomorrow was enough to make me sick to my stomach. “Where were you?” He asked as his hand slid down my hips and I swallowed down something that
Mia’s pov I wrapped my arms around my middle even more while pointedly staring at my feet as I quickened my footsteps, feeling like I was being chased even though multiple frantic checks had proved that I wasn’t being chased and was only being paranoid.After successfully exiting the mall, which took way longer than I expected because I didn’t know my way around the mall and got lost a few times while trying to find the back entrance.When I finally found it, I thought somehow, the guard must have figured out what it was that I was trying to do and would be there waiting for me outside the back entrance, and even though he was nowhere in sight, every veins in me was still strung tight in nerves as I hastily began to wap away from the mall while hoping that the guard wouldn’t notice my absence quickly.As soon as he does, he’s definitely going to alert Lorenzo at once, and then he’d order that they all go out to search for me, and then once they do, I’d be dead meat at once.That tho
