Mia’s pov The shock on his face was so comical that I’d have laughed if I wasn’t in a situation this tense. His hand which was hanging in the air beside my face shook, as his teeth grind against one another. He was breathing hard through his nose, it was clear that he was more than furious right now.When he still hadn’t retrieved his hand, I squared my jaw, ignoring the pounding of my heart as I continued. “Remember that my guards are outside too. Should anything happen to me in here or should I not leave this room after a couple of hours, they’d come find me. You can’t do anything to me any longer, you can’t scare or hurt me like you were once able to. You have no control over me any longer, father.” I informed him on a calm tone, watching as his hand shook for a few seconds before he finally pulled his hand away to drag it over his face while swearing underneath his breath and pacing around.I turned around to my mother who had a horrified look on her face, and I didn’t blame

Mia’s pov I was currently watching knitting tutorials on the internet. I had nothing else to do and having to do nothing all day was starting to get really boring and tiring. When I had brought this up to Lorenzo, he had instantly informed me that I wouldn’t be allowed to work, if that had been my reason for bringing that topic.I had huffed and rolled off the bed to fold my hands. “Why not?” I had asked. Lorenzo, unfazed, had just tugged me back into the bed till he was holding me against his body.“That’s because you do not need to work since I’m working for the both of us. So you don’t have any reason to work, because I’ll always provide for you. Why are we even talking about this? I know for a fact that your the money in your card has barely gone down at all so far.” He pointed out and i couldn’t help but pout at him even though my heartbeat fluttered at his words.“But I’m bored. I spend the entire day alone at home without doing anything. You know I don’t have any fr

Mia’s pov After Lorenzo went to his meeting, and that was had to convince me to stay in the office and not come into the neighboring room where the meeting was taking place in. After he left, because I was bored. It didn’t take long for me to fall asleep. My initial plan was to ignore his words and walk into the meeting, but because he had sounded quite serious while asking me not to come in, I decided to obey his instructions like a good girl xxWhen I blinked my eyes open, Lorenzo was crouching in front of me, fingers moving through my hair strands and a soft look in his eyes as our eyes locked.“Why did I think you weren't gonna listen to me and was gonna come into that meeting?” He murmured softly as his hand brushed over my cheek to rest a thumb over my bottom lip.I couldn’t help the snort that escaped my lips. “You’d be surprised by how well i can listen to instructions.” I breathed out and he laughed softly. When I sat up moments later, I arched a brow at him.“Was th

Mia’s pov “I guess I understand where you’re coming from, I’d just be lying if I claim to not understand, seeing as I also grew up with so many dumb stereotypes.” I breathed out before pulling away from his grip, back facing him as I folded my arms around my middle.“But I still don’t like it though. Why do random women have to sit on you like that? That should always be me and no one else.” I breathed out. It took a few minutes for Lorenzo to be blanketing me with his large body from behind as he spoke.“You jealous, princess?”I scoffed and almost pulled away from his grip but his hold was unmoving.“Of course I am. Who wouldn’t be jealous? You tell me, wouldn’t you be jealous if you see me perched on a random man’s laps?” I asked and I felt his grip tightened around my waist almost immediately as he nosed at the side of my throat.“I wouldn’t be jealous.” He finally mumbled in response and I scoffed because I knew he was lying through his teeth. He hated the thought of othe

Lorenzo’s pov Mia’s lips were slightly parted as she slept peacefully atop me. We had been lazily discussing about a bunch of random things before she slowly drifted off to sleep. I was sitting on the couch in the sitting room and she was perched over my laps, curled up in a cute ball. I felt my heart sting flutter a little as I let my gaze wander over inch of her face.She was so gorgeous that it sometimes hurts to look at, it makes me wonder how her peers hadn’t been ridiculously jealous of her while they had all been growing up together.She let out a small yawn as she snuggled into me even more, causing me to smile fondly as I reached out to brush the small strand off her out of her face.I was madly, stupidly, ridiculously in love with her that it was ridiculous to sometimes to think about. It was ridiculous before it had never crossed my mind that I’d one day ever have this much raw, intense person got someone, for someone whose father had ruined my life decades ago.I lo
