When it was almost time for their lunch date, the duo dressed up and took their leave. Colton was so damn serious about inspecting Mia's outfit before they stepped out. Well, he made things easier for them by picking out her outfit. He didn't want her to be gawked at by anyone.
By the time they arrived at the said restaurant, Theodore and Sammie were already there. Upon seeing them approach the table. The duo rose to their feet to welcome them.
"Oh my God, Colt. You didn't tell me she was so fucking Gorgeous." Sammie said.
"Hi, love. I'm Samantha but you can call me Sammie. It's so nice to finally meet you, sweetheart." Before Mia knew it, Sammie pulled her into a warm hug. She smiled, returning the hug. "It's nice to finally meet you too, Sammie. I'm Mia."
Days later.Colton needed to make some phone calls so he went to the living room for privacy. Once he was done, he went back to the bedroom to join Mia. They would be leaving Sicily tomorrow morning so they had to gather their things.Stepping into the room, Colt saw Mia sitting on the edge of the bed. She was deep in thoughts and she had a sad look on her face. She hadn't even started packing because Colton didn't see their bags anywhere.He went over to where she was, took a seat beside her, and made her sit on his lap.He raised her chin with his thumb so she could look into her eyes. "What is it, my love?" He didn't like the fact that she looked unhappy."The v
With a confused mind, Mia picked up her handbag from the couch and proceeded to her bedroom. Based on She and Colton's agreement, she was to complete her packing immediately she got home but now that he was angry at her, she had no idea what was going to happen.Mia Edwards picked out her outfit for work the next day after which she undressed and got into the shower. The moment she finished dressing up for the night, there was a knock on the door so she went to answer it."Look who just came back from Sicily? Mrs soon-to-be Colton Royal. Gosh, I missed you." Hailey pulled her bestie into a hug."I missed you too, babe," Mia mumbled.Hailey could tell something wasn't right so she pulled away
Getting up from where She was sitting, Mia ended the call. There was no TV in her office so she went to the nearest place where the TV was and that was the break room. She was grateful that no one was there. She turned on the TV and lo and behold every fucking news channel had the same headline.COLTON ROYAL ALLEGED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, RAPE & KIDNAPPINGMia had to hold on to the table beside her because her legs were almost giving up. Her brain was also fuzzy. She had no idea what the hell was going on. As far as she knew, her man didn't rape anybody. It was Colton who was raped.The reporter on the news stated as follows: "Famous influencer and Billionaire's daughter, Natasha McGregor was sued by Colton Royal for several offenses amongst which rape was on
"If only you allowed me to send some thugs to beat the shit out of her, she wouldn't have the guts to say nasty things in front of the judge about my brother! God, I feel like strangling the shit out of her. She's nothing but a devilish beast." Caleb said, walking up and down Colton's office, running his fingers through his messy hair at intervals.Colton was sitting on the chair behind his desk, massaging his temple. It was okay to say today was one of the worst days of his life. He didn't have a good sleep because of the fight he had with the person he loved most in the world, he woke up late with a killer headache, managed to come to the office and then BOOM, discovered that Natasha had created another Scandal.His lawyer, Zach, came over to the office. They both discussed and made some necessary calls. Colton had them
Colt heaved a deep sigh as he took his seat. The people from different media houses were ready to live stream. It was Colton's first time being in this kind of a position, having to address a scandal. He hated the fact that this happened to him but he was so keen on clearing the air."Good day, Everyone. I'm not a man of so many words so I'll keep this short and go straight to the point. All that Natasha said about me was a lie. She made everything up so she wouldn't go to jail for all the crimes she committed.""I'm not a violent individual, I'm not a kidnapper, I'm not ruthless, I don't owe anyone any explanation about my sex life but for the benefits of doubts, I promise you all that I'm not into BDSM. I don't derive pleasure from my woman by watching her suffer."
"Decline the call. We will use my laptop for facetime." Colton said.While Caleb did as his elder brother instructed, Colton went over to his desk for his MacBook and he dialed his Mom immediately, going back to the couch to join his brother. He placed the lappy on a table right in front of the couch.Victoria's worried face came through and beside her was her husband, Derik, who looked worried too."God, Colt, we've been trying to reach you the moment your father started receiving calls. Why didn't you tell us about the evil thing Natasha did to you. Christ, I can't believe I thought so well of her and wanted you to get married to her. I would have made the biggest mistake of my life." Colt could see that his Mother's eyes were glossy.
"Mom, Dad, Mia is here to see me. I'll talk to you guys later."Colton rose to his feet after saying goodbye to his parents. Chad opened the door for Mia and she literally ran to hug Colt. She instantly buried her face in his chest and started sobbing.Colton hugged her tightly and placed a long kiss on her forehead."She told me she was going to cut off my balls if I don't bring her to you so here we are!" Chad smiled sweetly at the duo.Colton nodded. His eyes were filled with gratitude."Let's go have some wine, Chad. I've got a few things to discuss with you anyways!" Caleb said as he approached Chad. They helped themselves out of Colton's office, giving the duo their privacy."It's okay, love. You know how much I hate seeing tears in your eyes." He said, gently patting her back.Mia eventually looked up and Colt didn't hesitate to wipe her tears away with his thumb. "I'm sorry!" She sniff
Seeing that it was almost closing hour, Mia started rounding up with work. Her attention was divided when her phone buzzed on the table beside her. A smile crept to her lips when she came face to face with the caller ID."Miss me?" She said to the other side the moment she answered the call."If I have my way, I would bribe you to come work for me.""Oh really? I don't remember anyone offering me a job opportunity. Perhaps I might consider it if the benefits are more than my present job.""For real?" Colton asked hopefully,"Maybe!" Mia smiled."Don't tease me, Mia. I'
