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 The drive lasted for about an hour and throughout that duration, I made sure to lose myself to the coolness of the breeze mining through my hair and brushing over the bareness of my arms and thighs. The jumpsuit I had on wasn’t a long one, so when I sat, it got ridden up.I sneaked glances at Lorenzo every now and then because all what had happened these past week still feels like it hadn’t happened.His jaw was clenched and that only made his jawline become more prominent. He had a hand around the steering wheel and while the second one was loosely resting his lap. He didn’t seem to be in a rush to get to his destination, because rhe road looked free but he wasn’t speeding like a maniac like he’d usually do. When the car finally pulled to a stop, I glanced outside the window at once, eyes darting everywhere at once as I slowly alighted the car and closed the door after me. Once Lorenzo locked the car, he pocketed the key and began to walk forward, and I fell in
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 Aisha was a very bubbly girl, way more bubbly than I anticipated, and I was living for it. We had both some weeks ago, on that particular night whereby I had overheard that cursed phone call of Lorenzo which had made me come to the conclusion that I was the one being referred to in the phone call. That same night I had been ganged up on in the bathroom by Lily and her other friends, but I had thankfully been saved by her arrival.We had exchanged contacts after that and had both promised to keep in touch. Since she was yet to reach out to me and I was bored and had nothing else to do, I decided to reach out to her. It didn’t take her long to respond and she made sure to reveal how excited she was to have gotten my text. We talked for a few moments before we both agreed to meet in a few days at a restaurant, and here we are right now.We exchanged a hug on meeting each other and after the hug, something told me that we were gonna be great friends. My guards had been adama
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
Mia’s pov As soon as the car pulled up at the house, I hastily alighted it with all my intent being fleeing away and hiding in my room till I recovered from what had been the best three seconds of my life. I was about to take the first stair leading upstairs when a hold settled on my wrist, causing me to freeze up because I knew even without having to turn around, that it was Lorenzo. The sound of me gulping could definitely be heard outside from how loud it sounded as I slowly turned around till I was staring up at Lorenzo. I was in a pair of sneakers this time which left a lot of height difference between us this way. Right now, he towered over me even more, and whereas I was supposed to be scared shitless right now, all that was going through my mind right now was that three seconds kiss which took place about thirty minutes ago in his car.I gulped once again and forced my mouth to move.“Uh… hi.” I whispered.If Lorenzo found me funny right now, it wasn’t all that obvious, exc
Lorenzo’s pov I had finally done it.This one thing which I’ve been fighting against since I could remember, I have finally done it.Since the first moment I laid an eye on Mia, I had known that she was gonna be trouble, but I never counted on it ever being to this extent. I had been attracted to her since I could remember and I had fought that attraction from the onset, refusing to acknowledge it until till i couldn’t pretend any longer.As I watched her run up the stairs, I wanted to do nothing more than to go after her and thoroughly ravage her. There was nothing I’d want more than to kiss her more and more until I had embedded her taste in my brains. She had tasted way nicer than I expected and I had been drunk on her taste almost immediately. I’ve kissed her twice in the past, but those moments certainly do not count because the kisses had merely been light lips grazing.She had tasted so fucking exquisite that I hadn’t want to stop kissing her. The kiss was supposed to
Mia’s pov It was obvious that Lorenzo was in a good mood tonight. Perhaps it was the alcohol he had before we exited the house for the wedding, because I know damn well that it wasn’t because of anything he was served at the wedding because I know he’d never est or drink anything served to him in public. As we danced, I felt like I was trapped in a completely different world with Lorenzo whereby we were completely alone there. It was easy to lose one’s self to Lorenzo’s eyes because they were so beautiful yet so intense.When I had spotted a few of my father’s men, I had instantly felt nervous to my bones. I had thought my father was also around somewhere, but it turned out to be that I had been paranoid for nothing. At first I had thought my father finslly wanted to fight back against Lorenzo in order to rescue me, and my stomach had tightened with nervousness so fast that I grew dizzy.To me, that wasn’t gonna seem like I was being rescued. It was gonna seem like I was being t
