Natalia’s POVThe indistinct chatter of hospital patients thundered down the hallway and into the room where Azek was on bed rest. Mia still sat there holding his hands like he could wake him up. She consistently brushed her fingers against his face. The burden and heavy weight of despair was written all over her face.As I watched Mia intensely, my phone rang. I threw a glance at the screen and saw a familiar number. It was my parents. My stomach twisted when the thought of how Mia would feel hit me. She had never wanted to be in contact with parents. The fear of her losing it gripped me and my chest crushed under the pressure of my anxiety. “Hello ?” I picked up the phone call and tried not to disturbed the tense silence in the room“Natalia?” a shaky old voice said from the other end of the line. The voice sounded even older than I can remember. “We saw the news, hope Mia is ok” my mum added. I was conflicted within me, the relationship between Mia and her foster parents had alwa

Mia's POVI walked into the premises of my duplex with my phone between my face and shoulder as I juggled the goods in my hands.“ Yes, I'll try and make it for the opening of your bookstore,” I said to Nita, my best friend, over the phone.“ Are we still meeting up today?” She sounded disheartened as she already knew my answer.“ I'm afraid not. I have to take Natalie out to shop for dinner gowns, her prom is coming up soon,” I sighed.“ I understand, prom night is every girl's dream,” Nita got lost in her imaginary world. “ It reminds me of my time in school, though nobody liked me,” she said dramatically.“ That's because you are and were crazy,” I spat out.“ I liked scaring and harassing boys. It was fun,” she said. She could be creepy and weird as fuck sometimes.“ Anyway, I'll call you back later on. I'm heading in now,” I said turning the door knob and opening it.“ Alright, see you later,” she blew a kiss from her end and I quickly hung up on her. Crazy.I walked into the liv

A week laterMia's POV“ Mia, do you want to get married? I mean, this is so sudden,” Natalie was worried sick about me getting married. She suspected that something was fishy but of course, I wouldn't let her know.“ Especially since you never told me that you had a boyfriend,” Nita twisted her lips. She didn't believe any nonsense I spewed to her.“ You both shouldn't worry, we were both dating before but it was sort of a secret thing because of his identity,” I clenched the perfectly white wedding gown I was wearing and tried my best to hold my smile up as the make-up artist did her work. Deep down, I wanted to cry but that would have to wait until I wasn't around these two.“ If something is going on, you can always tell me,” Natalie had tears gathered in her eyes already. I waited for the make-up artist to finish up my makeup before getting up to look at Natalie who was on the verge of breaking down in tears.“ Naty, I'm fine. I've told you that I love him and we've been having s

“ Sir, ma'am, we're here,” the driver of the limo we were in announced as parked within the courtyard. His butler opened the door for him to get down, and he left without saying a word to me.“ Sir, aren't you going to help her out?” The butler questioned. He had to be close to ask such a question given Azek’s temperament.“ Her legs aren't broken, she can get down on her own. Even if they were, she might as well just crawl her way into the mansion,” he shrugged as he walked towards the mansion’s main door - his bodyguards following him.“ Azek is a bit on the cold side so don't take it to heart,” his Butler gave me a reassuring smile.“ I'm alright,” I lied as I beamed at him. He took me by the hand and helped me out. I walked hurriedly in an attempt to catch up with Azek.“ Welcome, young master!” There was a long line of maids and workers bent at an angle of ninety as they greeted. I hadn't expected this at all.” Get Ms. Mendez settled in. Help her get out of her dress and show he

Mia's POVTwo weeks later“ Erm... Aren't you going to have breakfast? I... I made you breakfast but of course I got help from Madam Lisa,” I said feeling awkward. I wasn't sure if I said that I prepared it alone, he would want to eat.“ Jeena, throw away the food she made,” he ordered. He was going to throw away the food I had spent my time and effort making just because he didn't like me. I clenched my fist and fought back the tears that wanted to flow so badly.“ Yes, sir,” the maid was hesitant but she couldn't lose her job because of me of course.“ Don't ever cook for me. I never asked you to, to begin with so stop playing wife,” he frowned. Did he think I was insincere? Besides, wasn't he the one who told me that even if it's just on paper, I should still perform my wifely duties?“ I-I’m sorry,” I stuttered.“ Neo, get the car ready,” he said walking out of the dining room.“ Yes, sir,” Neo, his secretary replied.“ W-will you be back early?” I looked away the moment I asked,

* * * *We got back to doing our duties quietly and eventually, Lizzy's obsession left the store, not forgetting to flash a smile before leaving. Evening came quicker than I had imagined and all I could think of was how to prove myself to Azek. How to make him see that I'm not who he thinks I am and that I would never hurt him.“ The best time in our job is when it's evening. Little customers to attend to and most importantly, time for clocking out is approaching,” Lizzy yawned and stretched in gladness.“ Your eagerness to get off work sometimes makes me wonder why you even accepted the job to begin with,” I chuckled.“ I guess, I need the money,” she rested her head in her palm which was propped up by her arm. “ Mia, lover boy is back,” she whispered as she stood upright. I turned towards the glass door only to see him walking in. He had come back.“ Hello, Mia and...,” he paused looking at Lizzy as he tried hard to remember her name.“ Lizzy,” she reminded.“ Yeah, Lizzy,” he scrat

“ You're hurting me, let go of me,” I begged as he kept pulling me by the hand. Getting to his room, he nearly threw me ahead of him making me fall. “ This is a misunderstanding,” I tried explaining. “ I am the victim, not what you think,” I tried to reason with him. “ Of course you are. You always are,” he said taking off his shirt. “ Strip,” he ordered. I stood there in shock and confusion. “ Didn't you hear me? I said S-T-R-I-P, ” he broke it down. Before I could oppose his command, he helped me rip my clothes off before pinning me to the wall. “ You're my property and I'm not the type to share even if the property is scrap,” he said kissing my neck. “ Maybe I didn't mark out my territory. I should probably do it tonight,” his hands were everywhere as he bit my neck and sucked unto it making me gasp. “ From now on, whenever you're going out, put on the ring,” he instructed. “ But first, I need to teach you a lesson you won't

Mia's POVI got back home early from work purposefully just to prepare dinner for Azek. I would give him the good news over dinner. I obviously felt a bit nervous since I wasn't exactly sure how he would react to the news given that he currently hates me but still, I don't think Azek would ever hurt his child. “ Madam Mel, I want to use candles and candleholders tonight,” I informed her. “ I already sent some maids to prepare it,” she was quick on her feet. “ But now, I'm sorta curious as to the reason for this good mood you're in today,” she pried in a way a mother would. “ It's nothing really. I just want to talk to Azek about something, you'll find out eventually,” I scratched my head.“ If you say so,” she chuckled.Once everything was set, I sat on the dining table checking the time every five minutes. He should be here by now, what was taking him so long? “ It's been thirty minutes past the regular time he should have been back,” I mumbled to myself. “ Ma
