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
Mia’s pov I let my eyes full shut for a moment while I tried to figure out if I was hallucinating or not. Blinking my eyes open and seeing the shock look still plastered on Lorenzo’s face as he raked his eyes over the man who had spoken and the rest who were all slowly taking off their masks.Lorenzo slowly huffed out a breath, eyes slowly trailing over the bared faces and I watched as more recognition dawned on him.“Marcus?” A disbelief laugh escaped his lungs this time as he slowly moved his feet off the throat of the dude trapped underneath it. “What the fuck?” Lorenzo whispered and I watched as the leader who supposedly went by Marcus closed the distance between Lorenzo and tugged him into an embrace. My confusion tripled when Lorenzo returned the hug tightly, a throaty laugh leaving his mouth.It took a little while for the hug to be over and one after the other, Lorenzo exchanged hugs with them all, except the last one whose throat Lorenzo had stepped on. Lorenzo held him at
Mia’s pov As soon as I sighted the familiar building which is Lorenzo’s apartment, immense fear instantly lodged itself in my throat, just as his motorbike slowed down to a stop. The door slid open almost immediately and Lorenzo smoothly droved in, and my heart lodged further up my throat. Once the engine got killed, I let out a long, stuttered breath and tried to stop my heart from speeding erratically. It took a few seconds for me to realize that my arms were still wrapped around his waist. With a startled sound, I yanked my hands away and almost fell off the bike if he hadn’t reached behind himself to grasp my arm.That sent a wave of embarrassment through my veins as I carefully alighted the bike.I knew I was in deep trouble. I didn’t need a soothsayer to point that out to me. If the blank look on Lorenzo’s face wasn’t indication enough then the way he was gripping the handles of the bike should do. I awkwardly took the helmet off and smoothed my hair down with my sweaty pal
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
