MIA" Why would you get me sneakers for twelve thousand dollars?" I demanded. He looked down at the sneakers I was referring to and back at me. He didn't have any exact expression on his face but I could tell that he didn't give a shit." And what exactly are you implying?" He asked. I opened my mouth wide, confused by his sudden gesture and how he's acting so much like he doesn't even care one bit about what I'm saying." I'm saying that you shouldn't spend so much money, especially not on material things like this," I stated.He looked at me like I just said the most stupid thing because the next thing he did was burst into a fit of laughter. I was annoyed with the way he was taking things lightly but just tried my best to maintain my composure." Can you be serious for once? This is no joke," I demanded. I had forgotten to give him what he had always demanded from me. It took me a while to realize but what was more surprising was that he didn't seem to care. A smirk slowly crept o
MIAI was watching television and binge-watching my favorite shows. I was having a free day and Marco was yet to be back and thinking about it now, I always have free days since there's nothing available for me to do. I thought about what happened with Isabella that day.I could tell that she was mad because urs been two days and she was still giving me the silent treatment which was very annoying. I should have known, she was rude from the start but I got so distracted with the little kindness she showed me.It was her problem anyway because we weren't all that close and she was just trying to force her way into my life turning both of us into some sought-after besties. I did like the idea at first but now she's just proving me wrong.Getting the thoughts out of my mind, I looked back at the clock to check the tone. I realized that it was almost midnight but Marco was nowhere to be seen. This wasn't the first time he's coming in late but now he isn't even picking up my calls which is
MARCO POVAfter drowning myself in lots of workload that even I decided that I was going to take a day or two off. I kept thinking in my head whether to shift it to weekdays or weekends but I just wanted it to be a time that I could fully spend with her.I've been getting more and more attached to her lately. There was something much more that I wanted but I was yet to try to figure out just what it was. I drove steadily back to my house.Arriving at the door, I was eager to see her because I got her a gift. It was a diamond bracelet I saw earlier on a mission today. I knew that it would be just the perfect size for her and there was no doubt that she would love it.Making my way into the living room. I saw something that broke me. There was some sort of feeling that I felt but it wasn't the pleasant type. Anger filled me as I stood there completely awestruck by the sight that stood before me.I couldn't take it anymore and the anger in me was more than I could withhold. " What's goin
MIA POVHe tried breaking our hug but I wouldn't let him go instead I held onto him tighter. He didn't want to hurt me and that was probably the reason why he hadn't pushed me off already because that was something I would have been anticipating." Let go," he ordered at once. Hisvouxe was harsh and firm and it intimidated me a lot that I had no choice but to let go of myself.He looked at me but I could see pure disgust from his gaze. He was still upset and it wasn't like I was expecting him to suddenly forgive me overnight. It hurts though but I was going to respond to his decision right now." If you have anything to tell me, make it quick and short," he told me.I was feeling very nervous because it was almost like he was adding a lot of pressure to my situation that even I couldn't speak up for some reason, almost as if my tongue was tied up.His gaze lingered on me, waiting to hear what I had to say." Are you going to say something or just stand there and watch me?" He beckoned.
MIAThe table was all set but Marco was no where to be and it wasn't a literal surprise since he's been like that lately. He doesn't talk to me and as hard as I try not to notice it, it doesn't work because I miss the old us that was just starting to get along.All of it finally dawned on me as it was starting to get clear, it was all just one big assumptions from my side and it was me thinking that we could ever have anything together when he doesn't even show me real affections.I let those little gestures get into my head and now I'm the one paying the price. It's been a week now but he hasn't even come to touch me which was weird because I knew that he couldn't stay three days without touching me and even if he was upset, he would vent it by having sex with me..But after thinking it through, I realized blankly that this was just crossing the limit. I blamed myself, wishing that I could turn back the hands of time wishing that that day had never occured but what's been done been d
CHAPTER 99MARCO I sat in the bar drinking. I could not believe what I had seen. Mia...she was...I thought that among of all the people in my life, she will be the one that is most loyal to me. I thought that she will never do anything to hurt me but it seems that I was wrong again. There is no person in my life that I can trust! But why did she have to go do that with Lucas? What is she going to get from it? Am I not good enough for her? What is seriously going on with her? Just then, someone sat next to me. "What is going on with you? Why are you drinking like someone who's heart just got broken? I thought that there wasn't a person alive who could break your heart!" I could recognize that voice from anywhere. And just like I had suspected, it was Isabella. I turned to give her a glare. What is she doing here? "What are you doing here?"I asked her. "Do you think that I followed you here? Do you think that I don't have anything to do with my time?" She asked me. I rolled my
CHAPTER 100MIA"I can't believe this....I can't believe that you actually have a fiance!" I said in shock. I was still surprised over what Lucas told me. He just did not seem like the kind of guy who would want to settle down. He just seemed....I don't know. Really carefree. He looked like someone who liked his freedom a lot. Lucas rolled his eyes at my shock. "What do you take me for Mia? Do you think that I don't know what love is just because I work for Marco? I really do love my fiance and she's pregnant now. If she finds out about this and she misunderstands the way that Marco did then it's going to affect her badly. You don't see me freaking out like you right? I am not freaking out because I know that I am not doing anything wrong. The way you're acting, even if you did not do anything wrong, people are going to suspect you" Lucas told me. "Then what do you want me to do? What should I do?" I asked. "You should calm down and stop worrying too much. He will be willing to l
CHAPTER 101MIA"I don't know if he cares about me or not but I do know that he already broke up with you!" I said to Isabella angrily. Isabella smirked. "He may have broken up with me but has never forgotten about me at all! He still loves me a lot. I just need to remind him of how good we were together and he will fall back to me. And as for you, you can go do whatever it is you want! He will never love you the way that he loves me! You are just making a fool of yourself at this point!" Isabella said to me. I rolled my eyes at her. "If you really do think that he loves you, then you will not be talking to me like this. You won't be trying to get rid of me. Actually, you aren't sure of the so called love that you are talking about. Do you think that he will suddenly see the good in you and turn dump me to go after you? Please! You are just lying to yourself at this point!" I said to her. "You don't know what you are talking about! Who do you think you are to tell me this? And why
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
