Mia’s pov He clicked his tongue for a moment and then one of his hands moved upwards and next, the tip of his index finger was being ghosted over my jaw. My mouth fell open and I blinked up at him, not knowing what to say or do in a situation like this. Nothing could have prepared me for this when I had been asked to go shower and I was still yet to fully wrap my head around the fact that he’s currently atop me even though our bodies were only slightly brushing.“You know… I used to think you were a smart girl.” He continued, eyes revealing nothing this time and I swallowed emptily because I didn’t know what to think of what to make of what he had just said.A dumbfounded ‘oh’ left my lips in a small voice. If Lorenzo heard it, he didn’t indicate.“Do you realize what you did today?” He asked after a few seconds in a low voice and I shivered as the question sank into my head. It was supposed to be a simple question if we were in a completely different situation, but that wasn’t the

Mia’s pov Bodyguards weren’t a foreign thing in my life, seeing as I literally grew up around them since I could remember. Which was why it wasn’t hard for me to pretend that I wasn’t being monitored by the newly assigned bodyguards by Lorenzo. It was right there in the note beside my head which I sighted as soon as I blinked my eyes open. My father had assigned new bodyguards to me right before I got married so they’d accompany me to my new husband’s house, but they hadn’t even gotten the chance to guard me because I got taken that same night.I had been without a bodyguard of my own since then and it had felt extremely freeing. You indeed never realize the worth of something till you lose it, because now that I had guards breathing down my neck every now and then, it made me realize how I had taken those months where Lorenzo hadn’t assigned guards to me for granted.The fact that Lorenzo had arrived that night to come save me still makes me feel from shock no matter how much I thi

Mia’s pov My eyes felt extremely heavy when I tried to blink it open and so I patiently waited until it didn’t feel so heavy and that was when I finally succeeded. The room was dimly lit, it was obvious that it was no longer night time seeing as the sun was penetrating into the room through a very small gap in the curtains. I let out a long sigh and glanced around the room, everything was in its usual position, but that was until a heap of blankets and clothes caught my attention at the far end of the room and that was when a gasp tore through my throat at the moment because that was when everything began to return to me at a fast speed.Images of Lorenzo mopping my head with a cloth in order to reduce my fever, images of Lorenzo holding me in a sitting position and forcing me to recite various things in order to prevent me from fainting, images of him helping me to the toilet in order to pee because I was too tired to walk, and so many more.a loud gasp tore past my throat a

Mia’s pov As I curled my hair, so many thoughts kept rushing in and out of my mind. I had thought today was gonna be event free like the past one week had been, but that was before a text came in from Lorenzo. The text had been simple and straight to the point.‘Get ready for a birthday party tonight at a highly respected mafia boss. Dress sexily. Will come pick you up by 9.’ The text had arrived by some minutes after seven, which didn’t leave me with enough time to get ready. My hair was a mess because I was still yet to pay much attention to it apart from washing it while showering. It’s been a week since my fever vanished and my full strength was just returning. Lorenzo hadn’t been at home all that much, but we’ve managed to share a few meals during the week. I spent time with Kat whenever she came by and always managed to learn something new from her whenever she was here.After that text from Lorenzo came in, the first thing I did was to pick out a dress. I thought hard on wh

Mia’s pov “We’re going to watch a car race today.” Lorenzo said after pushing my door without knocking, as expected. I had been sitting in bed when he appeared at the doorway and delivered that news.“What’s that?” I mumbled in response after a few seconds of me digesting what he had just said.“It’s some sort of sport. So get dressed.”I sat up straighter. “Wait, right now?”Lorenzo let out an exasperated sigh. “Isn’t that obvious?”“But… the time –”“The time has nothing to do with it, so go ahead and get dressed already.” He continued and I pursed my lips and nodded my head before dragging myself out of the bed. I had been in bed almost throughout the entire day because I didn’t have anything important to do. I hadn’t seen Lorenzo throughout today, but I had a feeling he had been locked in his office until minutes ago when he made his way to my bedroom.“What do I dress up in?” I asked as I threw my closet door open. As I looked through the clothes in there, a few seconds passed
