Reed is standing near his car with one leg propped on the door and leaning towards the car. It's been two hours from the time he left Mia inside that basement. He made Matteo go and check on her ten times by now. But still, he is waiting patiently for her to come to terms with their reality. It's high time she accepts it and moves on.

He looked up from his phone when the door opened. There, under the bright sunlight, she is standing with her gaze fixed on him. He straightened up and pocketed his phone.

'What is wrong with her? Why is she looking at me like that? Neither anger nor hatred is simmering in those baby blues. She is looking at me differently ' he thought feeling a little unsettled by the look in her eyes.

"Are you ready to go princess?" he asked when she didn't make a move to come closer.

As if his voice propelled her into motion, she ran towards him and wrapped her arms around him tightly. Belatedly Reed understood that Mia Vitiello is hugging him. He froze on the spot.

    "Are you alright?" Reed asked Mia softly. It's been ten minutes from the time she stumbled into his lap. And she is still sitting there with his arms protectively wrapped around her waist.Mia sighed. She is feeling tired and sleepy. She ruled it off thinking that it must be because of work and disturbed sleep. Sometimes she still experiences nightmares, not as intense as they used to be. Those nights, she would slip inside his room and will sleep beside him. That helps a lot."I am fine, just a little tired and hungry" she muttered.Reed frowned. "You didn't eat your lunch yet?" he asked her. It was already ten past two in the afternoon and she didn't eat yet."Did you?" She countered.He was busy with work and did not think about his lunch."No" he muttered.Mia pulled back with a grin."Then let's go. I know a very good deli nearby. You will love their deep-roasted turkey sandwich" she said excitedly and pulled him along.When Matteo saw that his boss is going for lunch, he frown

    Reed caught her again before she could fall."Well, I feel like a babysitter" he muttered.He is not angry because he had to take care of Mia. He is angry that she is not taking care of herself properly, resulting in her present situation.Mia heard his words, which upset her. She is beginning to like Reed, and his comment made her feel bad."Then don't babysit. I will go to my apartment. I can take care of myself" she snapped with anger, but in reality, she is hiding how upset she is over his comment.Reed rubbed his temple. He can see that she is upset over what he said. But he doesn't know how to tell her what he is feeling. He is not the kind of man who opens up with anyone. He angered a lot of people and made so many others cry, including his underboss Matteo. But their feelings never mattered, so he never bothered to pacify them. But Mia is different and he doesn't want to make her sad."That's not what I meant princess. Come, drink this soup" he coaxed her softly.But Mia is st

  • Tied to the mafia man 3 : Mia   Video

    The next morning, the video of Reed carrying Mia out of the deli broke the Internet into awe. Women are going gaga over Reed. But as fast as it was released, someone removed it. No matter how many times the video was uploaded, it was deleted. Someone hacked into the host systems and even deleted the video from the host who uploaded the video. This process went on for a while until they removed all the traces of the video. Reed likes his privacy. Even though he is a public figure, he likes to keep his personal life away from the eyes of everyone. Moreover, he is leading two lives and wanted to keep his other life hidden from everyone. It is good that way. His enemies wouldn't know who he is, and that is a plus point for him. The next morning, Mia woke up and found herself alone in Reed's room. She noticed that her pencil skirt is gone leaving her only in a shirt and panties. She understood that he must have helped her out of her skirt. She noticed her breakfast is sitting on the beds

    "Ahh..."Mia jumped with anxiety when the tsunami struck the coast taking away so many people along with it.Reed gave her a lazy look. They are in his home theatre watching a movie about how Tsunami stuck on an island and how many people survived it. He doesn't like to watch movies. But she insisted upon it, so here he is. Sitting right beside her and watching her more than he is watching the screen.Thankfully the movie came to an end."Amazing, isn't it Reed?" She asked him excitedly.He gave her a nod. He didn't see the movie at all. He was working on his mobile when he was not looking at her. She is still wearing his shirt, which barely reaches her upper thighs. Her long-toned legs are on display, distracting him continuously.That's when his mobile rang. It's Nero."Hello Nero" he greeted his friend.Nero has seen the video which popped up just a moment before it was taken down. He doesn't have to think about who must have done it. "Hey man, what happened to Mia?" he asked dir

    Two days has passed, but still no sign of Reed. Mia tried not think about him, but she failed miserably. She began to feel that he is avoiding her intentionally. "I didn't kiss him, but it's the other way round. If he wanted to avoid me after kissing me, then i would have been happy not knowing how good his kiss felt. How can i miss that cold as*hole who doesn't care that i am alone here? Why should he care about me anyway? He is just my brother's best friend, not mine" she muttered to herself feeling bitter and sad. She became used to him. Sleep became difficult without him beside her. As if her nigtmares have foundout that he is not around, they began to haunt her nights, giving her little rest. She simply miss having him around. She miss being fed by him, and miss sleeping with him. She swallowed her pride and stopped his office once, but he was not there either. When she began to lose her mind staying alone in his penthouse, she started going for work. Being around people and

    "Boss, miss Vitiello is now going towards her apartment" Matteo shared Mia's details.Reed frowned."Her apartment? Why is she going to her apartment? Where was she for the past two days?" he asked his underboss.This time Matteo is prepared with all the details."Boss, she stayed in the penthouse for the last two days. She started going to work from yesterday. She even dropped by your office this morning. I don't know why she is going to her apartment this evening" Matteo shared.Reed's frown cleared out. His lips twitched when he understood that she is angry with him. 'So the princess is throwing a temper tantrum?

We think she is going out with someone" one of the guards who were arranged for Mia shared with Reed as soon as they saw him.Reed did not like the idea of Mia going out with anyone.

    Mia gave him a skeptical look. "You went out of the city?" she asked with a doubtful frown. He nodded. She remembered Matteo saying something about finding someone. 'Did he go to take care of this man they were searching for? So is this not about that kiss? I am an idiot. He must have kissed countless women in his life. Why will he go out of his way for one kiss? He might not have remembered it in the first place she wondered. The women in their families will not interfere or ask for details about the work they do. Even though she wanted to demand an explanation for disappearing like that, she didn't. As this is her first proper kiss apart from the kiss she shared with Alesso which she doesn't even remember, she felt it to be special. But he doesn't have to feel that way. 'He is affecting me too much. If i stay with him for much longer, i don't think i can survive him. It is better to stay away from him at least until this thing with Alesso could be canceled. After that, even if

    "Doctor Mia? Are you alright?" Susanna asked with concern. She noticed that Mia is zoned out quite a lot lately. She is dull and so preoccupied. The charm she used to carry in her eyes is lost somewhere in the past one week. Every time her mobile rings, she looks at the caller id with hope, only to sag her shoulders with disappointment. Apart from attending to the patients and doing her duty, she is barely speaking anything to anyone. "I am fine" Mia replied distractedly. After that night, Reed disappeared again. When he saw what he was about to do, she saw a myriad of emotions playing on his face. This is the first time she has seen so many emotions in him. Regret, repulsion, and horror were the major emotions among the others. After he left, she lay on the bed in the same position as he left her for hours thinking about what happened. She should be angry, she should be scared of him and she should have killed him, or at least try to kill him. But that's not how she is feeling. Sh

    One year later ... "Mia, why does the baby keeps crying?" Reed called out for his wife. He is panicked and he is not understanding how to console the hysterical little munchkin. Mia walked out of the kitchen and looked at the father-daughter duo. Their daughter is three months old. Reed was by her side throughout her pregnancy. He was more worried about her during her labor than she was. After their daughter is born, he is adamant to take care of her all on his own. But sadly he tends to panic if she starts crying. "Aww. Looks like our baby is hungry" she cooed and gently took the baby from Reed. She sat comfortably on the couch and began feeding her. Just then, the doorbell rings. "I will attend the door" Reed volunteered. When he opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law along with Chloe and their baby. "Hello Reed" Emma greeted him with a warm motherly smile. "Hello Mom" he leaned in and kissed her cheeks. In this one year, he began to like Emma very much. She treats him ju

    "No, how about this one," Chloe said pointing at one of the wedding dresses in the designer store.But Mia shook her head. She did not find anything to her liking. They have been sitting in the store for over an hour now. The store designer is showing dress after dress, but Mia did not like anything. Each dress is unique and stylish, but Mia did not find the one she feels perfect. "I feel like I might not find the perfect dress," Mia told her mom feeling sad.Emma smiled at her daughter's concern."Don't worry dear. There are many stores out there and so many other designers.

She married the man she is in love with, but at the same time, her marriage strained her relationship with her parents. She would have preferred to stay with her parents rather than marry Marcus and make them feel like she betrayed their trust. "Here, eat this" Blade brought some food for her to eat. She looked at him blankly and didn't make any move to accept the food. He sighed heavily and placed the plate in front of her. "I don't understand women. You love my boss. Now you married him. But still, why the hell are you upset?" he asked, really confused and curious to find out what she is thinking. Sabrina pushed the plate away. "I love him, but I never wanted to go against my parents and marry him. His father insulted my parents in the worst way possible. And me? I married Marcus and lost their trust. Marcus only thought about himself. If he would have thought about me

    In NY, the screams of pain echoed around the walls of the torture chamber. Reed, Nero, and Alesso took turns torturing Victor. The biker has touched their family, which made this personal. "Please, let me go" Victor begged for the hundredth time. But his plea is ignored. He is not innocent and he doesn't deserve mercy. He is bloody all over. Now he lacks all of his fingers and he has been cut open in various parts of his body."Kill me" Victor is now begging for death. He is in so much pain, that he passed out several times. But Reed made Nash inject Adrenaline injections into Victor, which forced him to stay awake."Killing you means showing mercy. If the roles are reversed, you wouldn't have shown us any mercy. You wanted to kill us all. Your death would teach everyone out there who wanted to go against us, that they shouldn't even dream about it" Alesso sneered and slashed Victor's forearm, effectively cutting a nerve.Blood gushed out of his wound, making Victor even paler.

    On the Island "Mia, I think this decor will suit you both" Emma pointed at a wedding decor from the brochure the wedding planner brought for them. Mia peeked into the brochure and their eyes sparkled with excitement. The decor her mother is showing has an altar made with upside-down flower baskets with a ceiling made of red roses, tulips, and white lotus flowers. There is a pathway in the middle which is set for the bride to walk down towards the altar, on either side of which are seating arrangements made for the guests. What is more beautiful is this, it is all made of water."Wow mom, it's so beautiful" Mia gushed. Chloe looked at the decor when she noticed how much Mia is impressed."Oh dear, this is perfect. He is like the unpredictable waves in the ocean and you are the peaceful and calm floating altar on the top. It describes you both perfectly" she said, obviously impressed by her mother-in-law's choice."Mom, you are the best" Mia hugged her mother lovingly."Looks like my w

    In Texas, Marcus is in a bad mood. He is fuming with anger. His fight with Sabrina just hours after their marriage made him feel irritated and frustrated about the mess his father started. "Blade" he called for his underboss loudly. Blade rushed inside his boss's office with a hint of fear. Marcus's bad mood is like a ticking time bomb. Blade became a scapegoat more times than he would like to. "Boss, you called me?" he asked hesitantly. Marcus rubbed his temples tiredly. It was almost 12.30 in the night and Sabrina refused to come out of that room and eat anything. On top of that, her words from earlier are stinging his heart like sharp barbs. 'I never wanted to marry you ' He doesn't know if she spoke them out of anger or if she never wanted to marry him.

    In NY, Victor is trying to escape from the hospital before anyone could find out that he is gone. He easily reached the ground floor undetected. But he had this nagging feeling that something is wrong. Everything is too easy. He easily came this far without being stopped by anyone. What made him suspicious is that the corridors, stairs cases, and elevators are all empty. It is the middle of the night, but he should have stumbled upon someone in this huge multistorey hospital. When he reached the ground floor and began searching for the fire exit to escape, he found something black and familiar lying on the floor. "A gun? Here? Did someone lose it?" he wondered with a frown. Nonetheless, he picked up the gun and checked if it is loaded or not. "Am I truly lucky or is this something I should worry about?" he murmured to himself. But he needs this gun to protect himself. So he hid that gun under his hospital gown. He proceeded farther but stopped short when he heard someone approa

    In NY, Victor gained back his conscience. As his senses began to take in his surroundings, he remembered where he was and what happened the last time he tried to escape. He sat up with a start and winced when his bruised body protested. 'No, i cannot stay here any longer. I need to escape before one of these nurses comes and finds out that i am awake ' he thought as fear began to creep down his spine and make him jittery and desperate. Slowly Victor pulled all the pipes and wires that are attached to his body. It took him a couple of seconds to get a hold of himself after his feet touched the cold hospital floor and his legs bore the weight of his body. Slowly he crept outside his room, after making sure that no one is around. But what he doesn't know is that everything is planned and they are allowing him to escape so that he can be killed soon. The nurse who sedated him and who is also working for Reed dialed Nash's number. "It's done. He is coming out from the back door now
