Mia's POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open and I let out a yawn. I remained in the same position for a while before the memories of last night flooded my brain.I blushed violently and bit my lips to prevent me from grinning like a teenager. Last night was perfect. I didn't even know why I promised not to let anything like that happen again when we did it in LA. I should have made it happen sooner. And hearing those words from Allen, that he had been restraining himself from bending me over, made my want for him even bigger. Kara was right afterall, he had wanted to sleep with me again. And we finally did it.I turned on the bed to see if Allen was still there, and much to my disappointment, he wasn't. I guessed he had left for work.Feeling unmotivated, I stood from the bed but as I was about to go into the bathroom, a piece of paper on the table caught my attention. I moved closer to it and picked it up.'You were so sound asleep, I couldn't bring myself to wake you up. I have some ma
Mia's POVI grabbed my box from the closet, dropped it on the bed and packed some clothes in it. I picked a few things from the bathroom too before zipping it up. I changed my clothes into a flowery yellow dress and picked my phone to see if there was any reply from Kara.There was none. I slumped on the bed and curled into a fetal position. Bella crawled up the bed and positioned herself between my legs and my chest.‘I’m a strong girl, I won’t cry because of a man.’‘I’m a strong girl, I won’t cry because of a man.’‘I’m a strong- no, I’m not a strong girl.’I let the tears fall freely from my eyes and sobbed silently, but it wasn’t enough, I needed to let it out, I needed to cry and I needed to cry loud and hard.I stood from the bed and ran into my bathroom, I locked the door and turned on the shower. Then I let out a scream before crying out my heart. I wasn’t going to stay in this penthouse for another day, else I would find myself killing Allen in his sleep.I came out of the
Mia's POVMy life was officially over. I just got fired from the only job I had just because I spilled ketchup on the floor. Alex, my boss or should I say ex-boss, had been acting cranky lately, every little thing annoyed him and he had been firing people since the beginning of the week. I had really hoped that I wouldn't be part of them, but then here I was with my faded blue jeans and black top, dejectedly strolling back to my apartment, thinking of a way to get another job as soon as possible else I'd be doomed.It's not easy for a college dropout like me to get a job anywhere. My parents died in a car accident when I was 20 years old. I had to quit medical school because none of my relatives were ready to help me. I've gone for several job interviews, but the moment they realize that I was a dropout, they would tell me that I wasn't needed. Alex was the only person kind enough to offer me a job and I had been working with him for a year now. The pay wasn't much but I had no choice
Mia's POV"What do you mean? I'm not following." The other man, named Ian said.I wasn't following either. I was impatiently waiting for Mr gorgeous to open his mouth and answer Ian's question but he just kept staring at me with a stupid smirk on his face."I'm gonna marry Red over here." He blurted out."What?" I didn't intend for my voice to be that loud, but I couldn't help it. This was the most hilarious thing I've heard today."Since you've been eavesdropping on us for a while, you probably already know that my fiance has been cheating on me. I'm supposed to get married to her tomorrow but I can't because of what I just found out." He explained slowly like I was a little kid who wouldn't understand if he talked faster than that."I still don't get why you want me to marry you." I said to the man, as I took a step back. I knew I should have run away when I had the chance to."It's so simple, Red. You damaged my car but you don't have the money to pay for the repair, that's fine wi
Mia's POVBang! Bang! Bang!Who the hell was knocking on my door so early in the morning? I ignored the sound as I wrapped my hands around a soft pillow and pulled it closer to my body, sinking further into the soft bed. Wait! My bed wasn't as soft as this.The person knocked again, interrupting my thoughts. "Miss Mia, we have to get you ready for the wedding." My eyes flung open and I shot up from my sleeping position. I looked around and remembered everything that happened last night. Today was my wedding, my fake wedding. I sprang up from bed and tamed my wild red hair before making my way towards the door. I pulled it open and three ladies walked into the room. I guessed they were the people Ian told me he was going to send. One was holding about four wedding dresses and a small suitcase, another was holding a make-up box while the last one was empty handed. "Good morning, Miss Mia. I'm Penelope and we are here to get you ready for the wedding." The empty handed lady said.
Mia's POVI finally got to where Allen was and I stood in front of him. He had not taken his eyes off me since I entered the church. Strangely, it made my cheeks flushed. Most guys I had dated back in college barely succeeded in making me blush, it made me surprised how my cheeks were all warmed up because of a stranger's gaze.The doors of the church were closed and Allen proceeded to lift my veil. His eyes widened and he blinked twice when the veil was completely off my face. Had he forgotten that I wasn't Sophie? Or was he surprised for another reason? I honestly didn't know.I heard someone gasping loudly in the congregation and when I turned to look, other people mimicked the person's action and soon the whole church was filled with murmurs. I looked at Allen's parents and saw that they looked confused too. How could they not be? Their son was marrying a stranger.Sophie's father rose to his feet and angrily marched out of the church, closely followed by her mother and some peopl
Mia's POV"Why? I thought I was only a substitute bride for today. What do you mean we have to stay together?" I asked him, my voice getting louder with each word."Let's talk in my car, people are watching." He said as he made me enter the car before he got in and closed the door."Should I take you to your house, sir?" The driver asked Allen."No, you're taking me to my house." I blurted out before Allen had the chance to answer."Just keep driving." Allen told the driver before he raised the privacy barrier."I'm not gonna stay together with you," I said before I removed the expensive ring in my face and threw it in his lap. Then it hit me. Shit, I shouldn't have returned that ring, I should have sold it and used the money to pay for my rent. He would probably not ask about it anyway."I'll pay all your debts. I'll even pay you five million dollars if you come and live with me." Allen said as he stared at me, hoping I would agree.The money was really catchy but I wasn't ready for
Mia's POV"Should I call him or not?" I asked myself as I paced about the room, the card Allen had given me was tightly squeezed in my hands as I thought of what to do.There was a high possibility that it was him who paid for it. Kara wouldn't do something I asked her not to do. If it was him who paid my debts, was he the one who also rented the house so I could be chased out and would have no choice but to run to him? He was more desperate than I thought.I typed his number on my phone and dialed it. It rang twice before he picked up."Hello." His deep voice filtered through the phone, sending chills through my spine. I was suddenly nervous to speak."Hi, this is Mia." I said after I had cleared my throat."Oh! I've been expecting your call. Have you made your decision?" He asked, his voice sounded so calm and I hated it, there was nothing calm about the situation he had out me in."Yes. But first, I want to ask you something.""Go ahead.""Was it you that paid my rent?" I asked as
