All Chapters of Accidentally In Love With You: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Mia squeezed his arm once then removed her hand and waited for him to explain. He seemed to be struggling to find the words. He ran his hand over his newly cut hair and rubbed his neck, tipping his head back to the sky before he spoke. “The reason I was late this morning was because I had a meeting with my manager and coach.” “Okay,” Mia replied slowly. “Is there a problem with the blog?” “No,” he shook his head and even managed a crooked smile. “That’s actually one of the better things in my life at the moment.” “Okay, so what’s going on then?” “There’s someone threatening to go to the press,” he said. “They have….photos of me.” “Photos of what, exactly?” Mia asked, trying not to judge him but also being fully aware of his past behavior. “That’s just it,” he said. “I don't know and they’re not saying. All they’ll say is that they’re embarrassing for me and may bring disrepute on the game.” Mia knew that was a cardinal sin for a football player. Bringing the game into

Liam knocked on Mia’s door. “Mia, it’s me. Please open up and talk to me.” Mia had avoided and ignored him all day. He knew he fucked up but he couldn’t apologise if she wouldn’t talk to him. He knocked again, the bag of takeaway Thai food swinging in his hands, all but forgotten. He’d even bought her a Vodka Cruiser because he remembered she didn’t like beer. He could hear the soft noise of the television, so he assumed Mia was home, but so far he hadn’t heard her moving around inside. “Come on Mia, sweetheart. I know what I said was wrong and I want the chance to apologize to you face to face. Please let me in.” “Do you really mean that?” Mia’s voice came through the closed door. “That I was wrong?” he asked, leaning his head against the door. “Yeah, I do. I acted like a bastard and I’m sorry.” “And what if I do decide to go out on a date with Darius to help him out? Will you be okay with that?” Liam gritted his teeth and tried to keep his breathin

“How was your week?” Liam asked his mother after they’d sat down at the table. “Pretty fantastic, actually,” Loretta replied. Liam tried to be happy for her, but it hurt that she had been in Melbourne for a couple of weeks and he’d only seen her at Sunday lunch. At least this time Jonathon wasn’t with her. He wanted her to get to know his brother, he really did, he just wanted it on his terms. It felt like she’d forsaken him for Jonathon. In every way Jonathon was better than him; he had more money, he was more famous, he had a bigger company, he had rich and powerful friends, and now he had their mother too. Not to mention Jonathon grew up with the benefit of a father and grandparents. All Liam had was his mother and now he felt like he was losing her too. “Tell me about it,” he managed to choke out before reaching for his water glass. “It’s actually why I wanted to see you today.” Huh. He’d thought she wanted to see him just to, you know, see him. Obviously

She made her escape and ground her teeth together. Her mother was trying to set her up with one of her friends’ sons. And she was doing it in front of Mia’s brothers. Mia felt sorry for Jason, but it didn’t stop her from being mad. Why was Maria so determined to marry Mia off? It wasn’t like she was a burden on the family. She was financially responsible for herself and had been for the last few years. She worked hard and was taking her first steps toward her career of choice. The very last thing Mia wanted was to settle down and have a family. Okay, sure, she might like the idea of settling down with someone, but she wasn’t ready for marriage and she definitely didn’t want to be with someone who was afraid of his own shadow. She needed someone who could stand up to her brothers and her parents and not be bullied. She needed someone like Liam, who saw her worth and wanted to make sure everyone else saw her worth too. Mia shoved the flowers into one of her mother’s crystal vases and

Frankie stormed out of the apartment, leaving her to crumple into a heap on the floor. How did this happen? Mia finally felt like her life was going in the right direction. She’d finally begun to feel like everything was coming together and the years of study and hard work were about to pay off and then this. One insecure bloody footballer who wanted to save his career more than he cared about the fallout he would create, and her life was crashing and burning before her eyes. Not to mention what damage this would do to the fledgling relationship she had with Liam. Fuck it all to hell.Mia rushed across the office floor to Liam’s closed door and knocked, not even bothering to drop her stuff at her own desk. She knew he was inside, she could practically feel his anger throb through the wooden door between them. As it was, Mia was almost fifteen minutes late to work because she’d been dodging paparazzi all morning on her way to work. It was the first time she actually wished she coul
