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
Mia’s pov My heart was beating so erratically that it felt like I was about to puke from all the fright running through every inch of my body at once. I glanced around once again and breathed out a choppy, shaky gasp on realizing that I was indeed stuck between these men, which in order words, means that I was completely doomed for.I couldn’t believe my sheer luck, but I knew damn well that I really shouldn’t be shocked right now, knowing fully well that I’ve never really had a good luck in literally everything thst has to do with my life.Of course I didn’t end up getting caught by Lorenzo. Instead, I had to walk straight into the hands of some bad guys.I wasn’t sure which is worse for me right now. Dying by Lorenzo’s hands or by these guys’ hands.They were still all surrounding me and when I threw another frantic glance around, one of them let out a chuckle that sounded muffled as closed the distance between us. “You have no escape point, you’ve walked right in here, so don’t b
Mia’s pov I refused to call him at first, too scared to actually hear his voice over the phone, but a quick click of a gun made me scramble to accept the phone from one of the guy to call Lorenzo at once, putting it to loud speaker as ordered.“H- hello?” I whispered tentatively minutes after the call got answered on the second ring and neither of us had breathed out a word.“Mia.” Was all Lorenzo said. It wasn’t a question, it was a statement and it made my stomach tighten even more.Feeling unsure of how to continue, I glanced up at the guys who shook the gun in a silent reminder, which prompted me into spilling out that I had been abducted some time ago and that I’m being threatened to be killed if he doesn’t show up.Even as I said those words, I knew Lorenzo wasn’t going to show up. Lorenzo doesn't care enough about his plan to use me in his revenge plot to actually show up, and I was proven right when Lorenzo only snorted. Probably feeling fed up, one of the guy whisked the ph
Mia’s pov If my heart hadn’t been beating fast before, then now it’s threatening to fly past my lips at any given moment. I blinked slowly while I tried to stop my heart from racing. I slowly pushed myself to my feet while my mouth remained parted in shock. The men who had held me hostage still continued to snicker amongst themselves as Lorenzo alighted the motorbike and placed his helmet on it before turning around and leveling the guys with a blank gaze.The lights in this part of the almost empty street was very little, but it still managed to illuminate Lorenzo‘s face. I felt a shudder run down my spine at once as soon as his gaze landed on my face.He stared at me for a few moments and I swallowed emptily, feeling extremely unnerved in his presence right now. I couldn’t believe the person I had ran away from is the person who had shown up for me right now. Although his plans was to kill me, it still made me feel unnerved that he actually showed up.I averted my gaze from his a
