AUTHOR POV She was willing to work hard to make sure that his entire family fell in love with her if it means that it will ease the relationship he had with his family. "You don't need to worry about that. And you don't need to work hard to get along with any of my family members too. They and I have never gotten along with each other from the start. My father...he never saw us as his kids. We were just investments to him. He wanted to marry Anna off as soon as possible to the richest man that he could find and he wanted me to run the mafia group for him. As for my sister Anna, she had always been ambitious. And she never cared about me from the start so it's safe to say that we don't care about each other. It's fine anyway. I have already gotten used to it" Marco said. Maybe when he was young, he craved family. He wanted to be with his family members but he had learned the hard way that it would always be a foreign concept to him .His so called family does not care about him. The
AUTHOR POV Marco really wanted to know this. She had always been very tight-lipped about her sister. All of these things lead him to believe that there's something else more serious going on with the family. It wasn't just a simple accident. Mia sighed in her head. She had no idea if she should be happy or sad at the fact that he could always read her mind. "No.... nothing happened. It was just an accident. It's just....my sister Danielle and I have always been close to our parents. Danielle was really sad when it happened and she did not recover at all. I tried to get her to talk to me but she never wanted to talk. I even tried to get her to talk to a therapist but she did not want to talk to one too. I had no other choice than to take her to someplace where she could recover. It's a small town and I heard that it was good for people who were grieving. She told me that she liked it there and she had never talked about coming back all this time so I just let her stay there. I miss
AUTHOR POV Those people are still watching her. What should she do now? Tell Marco the truth, or leave him alone? Or maybe, continue to use him? Mia loved Marco, and she wanted to stay with him forever. She did not want to think too much about anything. She just wanted to live a simple life with him. But then, she thought about her sister Danielle. Her sister was still with them. Danielle was the only family she had left after they had killed her parents. Now she had to choose between her sister and between the man she loved. The man who now loved her back. Mia decided to ignore the text message. For now, she just wanted to continue to lie to herself and live in the bliss that she had created in her head she had no idea of she will lose Marco or not by the time that all of this is over and so she was determined to spend whatever time thar she can with him for now. ....Reed was pacing up and down in his office. He had been thinking about getting revenge on Marco while planning o
CHAPTER 163No! I don't believe this! I refuse to believe it! We have our own standing! I have been running my company even before he was born and I refuse to believe that he can topple me so easily!" "Sir, I understand that you are under a lot of pressure right now but you need to face the truth. We were fine before he decided that he wanted to break off the relationship that he had with us and he wanted to stop all of our business partnerships on his own. Everyone who had called to cancel basically said the same thing . They said that they did not want to get involved in this fight because they already knew who was going to win. This should tell you that Marco is not playing and that he is really going to destroy us if this keeps up. You don't want to see the company that you have spent your entire life building be destroyed right? You just have to suck it in and talk to him and I am sure that he will still forgive you for his father's sake" the assistant said. Reed shook his he
AUTHOR POV They are wise to see that you are just a sinking ship and they got their money out of you as soon as possible. If they did not get out then they would have been destroyed alongside with you" Marco said. From the day Isabella slapped Mia, he had already decided that he is going to end her father's company. The reason she had been proud all these years was because her father had some money. He knew that if she took that money away then she would be left with nothing. Cutting up her face was just the beginning. He wanted Isabella to experience what true despair was.. he wanted her to find out what it was like to lose everything. Reed seemed to understand what Marco was aiming for. His only punishment wasn't to destroy her face .no, that was just the beginning. He wanted her to lose it all. Reed was the one who raised Isabella and he knew that he had raised her to be a spoilt brat. He knew that she thought that she could do whatever she wanted to anyone because of his mone
CHAPTER 165He saw that Marco was not going to back down and he thought about everything that his assistant told him. He can't go against Marco because he is going to lose. Maybe he should just take a step back. Isabella would be mad if she saw that she can't get revenge on Marco and Mia but it is better for her to go without revenge than for her to lose everything that he had and live a life of poverty. He knew his daughter well and he knew that she won't survive it He may be able to survive living a middle class life but his daughter could not. He knew how he raised her and he knew that she couldn't suffer the simplest difficulty. She is going to lose her mind. "You are the one who's supposed to be mad at me and attacking me? Have you not already planned to do that? You were threatening my sister yesterday when she went to see your daughter right? You told her that you were going to destroy me. Well I would like to see how you can do that. You wanted to use everything that you ha
AUTHOR POV You have completely gone mad because of that woman. Do you think that she will stay with you if she doesn't have anything that she wants from you? Don't be fooled. Women like her always going to want more" Reed said. "Yes. I have gone mad. When it comes to Mia. I don't mind if I go crazy. I just want her to be by my side . That's all. I don't mind either if she only wants me for what she can get from me. I am just happy that I am a billionaire and I will never run out of money for life so this means that she would never leave me" Marco said Reed really had nothing to say when he heard this. He wanted to let Marco know that the woman that he was willing to do everything for both probably just a gold-digger who only wants him for the money and power she can get from him but he already said that he doesn't care about that. If she wants money from him then he is going to make sure that it gives her money so that she never leaves him. What else could hw say to that? He h
MIA POVPlease marry me Mia. Please give me a chance to show you how much I can love you " he said to me. My eyes went red ad he said this to me. I could not help but cry. Of course, I wanted to get married to him. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Marco in blissful happiness. But how am I supposed to do that when those men still have my sister and when they are current after me? "Why are you crying Mia? I understand if all of this is a bit too early for you but I just want you to know what I am thinking about. I really want you to be my wife. Besides we have been talking about marriage and I thought that you were okay with it because you've never said anything so make you think that you are not happy with the thought of being married to me" Marco said. He was just so caring and thoughtful to me that it made my heart physically hurt. He doesn't deserve to be with someone who has too many baggage. He should be with a woman who won't draw him down even if she can't help him
AUTHOR POV "What happened? Is Marco on his way here?" Isabella turned to him and asked. "What exactly did you say to Marco? He already rescued Danielle!" Mia's eyes perked up when she heard this. Her heart beat fast against her chest as she thought of her sister. She felt happy that Marco had saved her. She should have known that Marco would never abandon her. No matter what, he was going to come help her. Isabella turned to glare at Mia. "What the hell are you laughing about?! Do you think that Marco will come here and save you? In case you don't know, we already have this place surrounded! You won't be able to get out without us! Even if he does come here to save you, he still won't be able to do it. So forget about leaving this place!" Isabella yelled at Mia. "Don't worry Isabella. I believe that Marco will have a way to save me! I believe that he is going to get me out of here alive. I don't need you to tell me anything!" Mia said to Isabella. "You are just delusional if yo
MIA POVWhen I opened my eyes, I immediately felt myself tied to a chair. I looked around the darkness, trying to make out my surroundings. I tried to make sense of what was going on but I could not understand it. I had been sad after Marco told me that you won't be able to trust me after what I had done and I had cried my eyes out for a few hours before I stopped. I ended up going to sleep after I was done crying. So how did I end up here ? Was Marco the one who brought me here? He told me that he won't forgive me but it doesn't mean that he would be so cold to me right? He won't do this to me. "Hello....is there anyone here? Please.... please somebody come help me. Marco, I am sorry for what I did. I know that you are mad at me. I know that you hate me but I promise you that I will never do that again. I will always tell you the truth from now on. I won't keep anything from you. I thought you said that you loved me. So why are you doing this to me? Can't you just forgive me?"
ISABELLA POVI lay on m bed thinking about the words that my father had been saying these past few days and how he was going to force me to go abroad. I cussed him in my head. Just because he was weak does not mean that I was weak too. I was never going to leave this place if I didn't get my revenge. News had reached me that Marco and Mia were preparing to get married and I no longer felt anything for Marco except extreme hatred right now. Who does he even think he is to reject me and to go after someone like Mia? There are so many other people who would give anything to have me in their lives but he pushed me aside for that woman and he is even going to marry her. I don't think that I had ever been this embarrassed in my life before. I have to get my revenge on him if I am ever going to let go of what he has done. I was still fantasizing about my revenge when my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was the number of the person who had promised me to get revenge on Mia and Ma
AUTHOR POV Mia was the only one left in the room with Marco. He still at that blank expressionless look on his face and it made her really scared what is he thinking? "Marco, I know that you are mad at me full stop and I can understand if you hate me full stop in fact I know that I don't deserve a chance to apologize to you but I just want to tell you that I am sorry. At the beginning I was really going to do what they asked me to do because I didn't know you and because I just wanted to save my sister. My parents had just tired and I didn't want to lose my sister along with my parents. But then I started to fall in love with you and I feel too guilty every single day that I spent with you. But I still did not know how I was supposed to talk to you about this or even bring this issue up. I felt that I was going to lose you and I really did not want to lose you. But then, I started to think that you were going to abandon me anyway once you find out the reason why I was with you in t
MIA POVI was in my bedroom pacing up and down. I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to get Marco to see that I really did not mean to hurt him. The worst part was that I did not even know what he was feeling about all of this. I had no idea if he was mad because he just asked me to go back to my room in a calm voice. Was he planning to kick me out of his life for lying to him or was he planning to torture me before he let me go? I was still worrying about this when my door was pushed open and someone barged in angrily. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I think I should be the one asking you that question. What are you doing? No, just tell me exactly what it is that you are trying to do Mia. You have already been exposed. You've been trying to kill my brother ever since you were with him. Since he already found out about it, you should be getting the heck out of here right now! But you are still here and you are still pretending to be the victim! You know
MARCO POVI looked at Mia with a cold gaze that made her shiver. She was probably wondering what I was he going to do to her. "Get out and go to your room Mia" I said coldly. Mia looked at me with a confused look on her face. She looked like she had more to say but she bowed her head and just walked out slowly. "Marco! What the hell are you doing right now? You should be kicking her out and making sure that she can never step a foot into this house again! Do you not realise the extent of the damage that she would have caused to you if I did not find out about what she has been doing? Even if she was indeed doing all of this to save her sister and even if she did care about you, your life is very important. Her sister's life is not the only important life here. Are you really going to forgive such a crime?" Anna asked me. I glared at her as she said this. I knew that she wasn't saying all of this just because she cared about me but because she wanted to get rid of Mia. Anna must
MIA POVThey never cared about me before and thet won't care now. Don't worry, I will never let her break the both of us up" he said..I shook my head. "That's not it...Anna is right" I said. Marco looked at me in shock. "What are you talking about Mia? What do you mean by Anna is right? I said that you don't need to be scared. If she really did frame you then I am going to stop at nothing to expose her. I thought that she was going to stop since I already taught Isabella a lesson. But Anna doesn't want to listen. She seems to want to go on the same path as Isabella so I am going to make it easier for her" Marco said. I was sobbing loudly now. I could not keep it in my heart anymore. "No, you don't understand Marco. Anna really did not do anything wrong. It was all me. I have been lying to you about where I came from. Remember I told you that my parents died in a motor accident and my sister and I were the only ones left in my family? I lied about that my parents did die but they
MIA POVI really don't want to hurt your brother at all. As you said he has done a lot for me and I love him very much. I won't be able to live if he dies"Anna looked at me with disgust in her eyes as I said this. She had always looked at me with disgust because she look down on me and thought that I will never be good enough for her brother but it was a different kind of disgust this time. It was as if I was dead and she could not stand to look at me any longer. "Do do you think that I am an idiot? Or do you really take my brother and I for fools and believe that we will believe whatever nonsense you tell us ? there was money I mentioned to which means that you are doing this willingly if you are going to get money from them. You know what? I don't want to talk to you anymore. Marco is the one who should deal with this because he was the one who refused to listen to me no matter what I said. He believed that you are the best person on Earth and he did not want to accept that y
MIA POVI was in the bathroom for a long time. Seeing all of those wedding gowns but a lot of memory for m. There was a time that my sister and I had talked about our wedding and we had said that we both wanted to be the bridesmaid at each other's wedding. We were so excited talking about it back then. But now she has been kidnapped and I don't know if I would get to go through with this marriage or not. My entire head was a mess as I thought of the many ways that this could go wrong. I wanted to just run away but I can't do that. My sister is still in the hands of those people and I love Marco too much to just leave him without a word. I decided to go back to Anna. I knew that she was probably bad mouthing me with her friend but that was the least of my worries then. As soon as I got there however, I met her rambling about me. "You can never tell what is going on in the heads of these women. But since I now know what is going on, I am not going to let this be. I am going to ex
