Mia’s pov A smile was on my face as soon as I opened my eyes, and I tightened my hold around Lorenzo’s warm form. I had expected him to have pulled away before I woke up, and got a pleasant surprise to realize that he was still here, fast asleep. His face was still buried in my chest and I felt my heart flutter a little as I took in how relaxed his face looked.I began to wonder about what his nightmare could have been about and if this was a regular thing for him. It made my heart ache because no one deserves to leave with scents horrifying enough to trigger nightmares.The sun was already shining through the tiny cracks in the curtains which indicated that the day had already broken. I knew the best thing to do is to shake him awake, since I’ve known him, he was always awake early, and if I leave him to sleep in, he might wake up pissed.But he had a nightmare and deserved to sleep in this morning. Who knows? The reason why it seems like he barely gets enough sleep might be be
Mia’s pov Sadness clung heavily to every space in my chest as I dragged myself out of the bed.I had woken up with my thoughts of my twin sister hanging heavily in my mind, and it had come along with a wave of sadness. As I bearily washed up, my mind soured even more as various memories began to flood through my mind.Maeve and I used to wash up together like this, standing side by side since we were very little. We had a bond so beautiful, it made so many kids envious.The school we went to, we were popular in it, not just because we were twins, but because of the family we were from. It made us quite popular. We had to get accompanied by guards everywhere; even to school, but the guards stayed outside of the classes. That prevented us from socializing with other kids our age while growing up, but because we were two, it didn’t affect us, we were never bothered by it, because we had each other to keep ourselves company.Thinking about it now was making me sad because I had com
Mia’s pov I loosed myself into the sound of the music pouring from the keys I was playing on the piano with my eyes closed and my body swaying from side to side. This particular tune was one which I learned since when I was a child, barely a teenager at that period.As descendants of a very prestigious Mafia family, we were required to know a lot, like a lot of languages for example, which made me fluent in more than 4 languages. The reason why Maeve and I had to learn something related to music was so that when we’d get married, we’d be able to entertain our husbands’ guests by playing the piano and the violin. That had rubbed me off the wrong way when I had still been young, but I barely put a lot of things into that train of thought back then because I still used to think that I had a lot of time left before I got ripe enough for marriage. In all honesty, I was still yet to fully dwell on it, not until father sprang the news on us so unexpectedly that it had completely caught
Lorenzo’s pov At first, I ignored the call when it came through. It was unusual for Mia to call me, but I had told me I wanted to go take care of something important, so she knew not to disturb me. I slipped the phone back into my pocket and picked up the bloodied knife once again.The man who was bloodied was held firmly in place by men, began to trash while sobbing and a laugh crackled out of my throat.“This is certainly a sight for sore eyes, don’t you guys think so?” I asked and my men all laughed along once I was done speaking. The man, who had made his greatest mistake ever which was to attempt going against me and outsmarting me.“I’m so sorry, I promise, I really am.” The man cried out, his words were muffled and unclear as he spoke which is because he’s currently missing a few teeth and the pain of those teeth being pulled out with the help of those pliers must have hurt shitless.I closed the distance between us and delivered a resounding also on his face. H
Lorenzo’s pov ‘Enraged’ was an understatement compared to how I’m currently feeling.I’ve never been that bothered about any of my enemies going to my house when I wasn’t around, and that was because I’ve never had anyone important waiting for me back at home before. I’ve never had anyone ever waiting for me back at home to begin with. Whenever I fuck some women, I either do it in one of my clubs or I take them to one of my other houses, but never the main one that I reside in.It made me extremely furious that a bunch of unfortunate people had killed my guards and broken into my house just to leave a clear warning. As I drove home, I kept imagining slaughtering those unfortunate people head one after the other, no matter how plentiful they were.As I drove, I kept thinking of how scared Mia would have definitely been when those bastards broke in. Perhaps that was the exact moment that she called me, and I had ignored it because I had been torturing that useless excuse of a
Mia’s pov Despite how much I tried to prevent it from happening, my anxiety still managed to bled through my mind, causing my hands to tremble every now and then. I let out a long breath and glanced through the window at the moving buildings.The car was silent, neither of us had said anything since we settled into the car. It’s been over thirty minutes but I’ve been yet to get over how scared I had felt when those people had busted into the house. The ringing sounds of those gunshot still rang through my head every now and then and I hated it.Now that I was with Lorenzo, that crippling fear had managed to subside drastically. As soon as he had showed up to my bedroom, that fright had instantly melted away, leaving me to sob in his arms for long minutes. Thinking about that right now made my cheeks pink up and I let out another sigh, I should’ve have behaved like that, sure, thingsss are not the way it once used to be between us, but that’s still not an excuse to act like we w
Mia’s pov “Confused in what sense? I think you need to elaborate further.” He responded and I let out a huff as I brushed my hair out of my face. I don’t need to stare into his eyes right now to know that his eyes are currently gleaming.“You know what I meant.” I pointed out, refusing to turn around and glance at him. A snicker rang through the sitting room and I felt my stomach flutter in response to that tiny sound.“I don’t think so, which was why I asked you to elaborate.” He explained, clearly lying through his teeth.A sigh eased out of my lungs as I glanced at the roof for a moment while my fingers massaged my forehead as I contemplated indulging him or not.“You can’t say things like that cause it affects me.” I finally spoke up after a long stretch of silence. I didn’t need to turn around to know that Lorenzo’s brows are currently arched.“It affects you?” He continued and I bit on my bottom lip and nodded my head. My back was still turned to him but I know that it do
Lorenzo’s pov When I finally kissed her that night, it felt like everything had finally fallen into place, like a puzzle finally falling into its tight places, like what I had longed for for a long while had finally happened.As she whimpered softly while her small hands moved up to grip my shirt, I realized once again that I couldn’t lose her. My grip moved from her chin to sink into her hair as I tilted her head sideways in order to deepen the kiss. She responded beautifully as usual, soft, sincere sounds spilling from her each time I broke the kiss.Whether I kissed her, I always made sure to break the kiss every now and then, because I was extremely obsessed with the sounds she usually made. It drove me crazy more than I’d like to admit. Mia is someone who had never experienced any of this with no one until my arrival, which proves that all of her reactions were always real and not feigned like some people’s, and that alone was enough to drive my crazy.She whined when I s
