LIAM'S POV:After the kiss with Mia upstairs, I couldn't get the feel of her lips on mine off my mind.I trotted down the stairs and headed towards the living room. I sat on a couch cough opposite the television as I grabbed the remote.I watched a TV show to get my mind off Mia, but I failed woefully because I wasn't understanding a thing being done on the TV.I heard a footstep coming into the dining area where the maids were setting the table. Soon, I heard Mia's voice as she seemed to want to lend a hand to the maids.I looked over at them and saw that she had given up trying to help the persistent maids set the table.She turned and sneakily headed towards the stairs in other to avoid me, but I wasn't having any of that.I called her over to come sit beside me on the couch, which she grudgingly agreed to do as she walked towards me.She sat on the couch beside not without creating measurable space between us. She focused on the movie and I couldn't help but look at her.How she b
MIA'S POV:I choked on my saliva as soon as Liam said that. Honestly, his words took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to hear him ask me that.I thought that he wanted me to tell him the truth about how I got pregnant with his child without our meeting.I was kinda trying to come up with an answer to his question, and now this?"A date?" I asked as I stared at him."Yeah. You know it's the weekend, and it wouldn't be fun to just stay at home all day doing nothing. It's okay if you don't wanna go, I won't force you" he said in one breath looking exhausted.The idea sounded fun to me and seriously I needed some time to blow off steam and release myself from stress."No! I mean I'm cool with it." I said with a nervous laugh."Hope I didn't sound too desperate?" I asked myself in a murmur."Great, then it's a date," he said with a small smile."Yeah, I guess so," I said as a light yawn escaped my mouth."I'm getting sleepy, I better head to bed now. Good night," I said while rising to m
LIAM'S POV:We went to a fancy restaurant to have a meal together. We talked about random stuff while eating and I can now admit that there is never a dull moment with Mia. I enjoy every minute I spend with her laughing my lungs out or staring at her pretty face. She looked extremely sexy tonight. The sight of her wearing that dress turned me on. It looked like the dress was made for her. I never knew that the dress would suit her perfectly. I just imagined her wearing the dress and I thought that it would suit her, so I just bought the dress together with some shoes and jewelry.When we were done eating, I led her out of the restaurant and into the car with no actual destination in mind.We drove around the city enjoying the night view since it had already gotten dark.“Uhm.. Liam, where are we going?” Mia asked.“I honestly don't know,” I replied while gulping in.When Riley and I were still married, she was the one always taking me out and I was the one paying at the end of the
MIA’S POV:After pleading for Liam to spare me some seconds to go meet the seer, he agreed and I happily rushed to the center of the crowd to meet the seer.“Good evening ma'am” I greeted the seer as soon as I got to her not wanting to waste time there.“Good evening young miss” the seer greeted back.“I'd like for you to read my future,” I said as I brought out my palm for her.She nodded as she took my hands into hers. She stared at my palm for a while as she traced the lines on my palm slowly.She dragged in a deep breath as she finally let go of hand and looked up at me.“You have a very complicated future my dear” the seer sighed with sagged breath.“What does it say?” I asked curiously.“The path to happiness and misery lies in the heart of the man you are with now, but it's up to you to discover the right path that will lead you to your happiness. But if you choose the wrong path, it will be your doom.” the seer said.I stared wide-eyed at the seer too terrified to say another
LIAM’S POV:I woke up to the ray of sunshine that seeped in through the window and shown directly in my eye.I groaned as I covered my head with the duvet. I was not in a hurry to wake up since it was the weekend.Deciding to sleep some more, I closed my eyes as I lay more comfortably on the bed.After sleeping to my satisfaction a few hours later, I woke up and grabbed my phone by the bed stand to check the time.I gasped as I looked at the time. It was some minutes past eleven in the morning.I immediately rushed out of bed and I headed to the bathroom to have a shower. I came back to the room refreshed minutes later. I dressed up, grabbed my phone, and headed downstairs.I met the maids setting the table for breakfast. I walked over to them to have some breakfast. They greeted me immediately they saw me walking over to them. I responded to their greeting with a nod.They dished out my food and I was about to dig in when I remembered that Mia wasn't downstairs yet.“Where's Mia?”
MIA’S POV:I woke up to find myself seated in an abandoned house. I looked around my surroundings and saw that it was deserted.I tried to stand up to avoid the rays of sunshine that shone directly on my face but I couldn't. It was then that I noticed that I was tied up on the chair I sat on.I cursed inwardly as I thought of who kidnapped me. I tried to untie my hands which were bound up and with luck, I was able to loosen the rope.I rejoiced inwardly as I finally loosened the rope. I have to admit, whoever tied me up must have little or no experience on how to tighten a rope firmly.I quickly untied my legs as I stretched them because they seemed to be cramped out.“How long have I been tied up?” I asked myself while still stretching my legs.I remember falling unconscious last night after inhaling the substance that was placed over my nose.I stood up and walked towards the window. I looked around the environment and found out that the building I was in was surrounded by bushes. I
MIA’S POV:I couldn't believe my eyes when I finally saw my kidnapper's face.The girl I have trusted for years, the girl who I considered as more than a friend, the girl who was a part of my life, the girl who knows all my secrets.I stared dumbfounded at her, unable to utter another word as I still couldn't believe that Ava would have the mind to kidnap me for no particular reason.“Don't look too shocked darling” she said with a smirk as she regained her composure.“Ava?” I muttered again, still unable to believe it was her.Maybe I was hallucinating or seeing things because I hadn't had breakfast yet.I rubbed my eyes again to confirm if I was still dreaming or hallucinating, but the results were still the same.“You still look confused sweetheart,” she said with a cunny smile that irked me so much.“How could you do this to me, Ava?” I asked as I slowly took a step back trying to get away from her as soon as possible.“I haven't even started darling, this is just the tip of an ic
LIAM’S POV:I arrived at the location where the unknown person had texted me. It was an old-storey building surrounded by bushes. The foundations looked old and I feared that if there was a heavy breeze, the building would collapse.I cautiously walked into the building trying not to draw attention to myself as I thought of silently reaching Mia before the police arrived.I went up the creaky wooden old steps trying hard not to make some noise.I passed the corridor and started hearing faint voices from one of the numerous doors in the corridor.I traced the noise to a particular door that was located on the right wing of the corridor.The stranger's voice didn't sound like Riley’s own because Riley was the only person on my mind that I thought would do such a thing.I heard Mia’s voice and I gasped as I tried to rush in and save her but the next words I heard from the stranger's mouth made me stop on my tracks.“I took you clubbing and forced you to drink alcohol. I spiked your drin
