Mia's POV I was lost as to why he had made me put on my wedding dress that was already ruined and looked like it had been run over by a dumpster truck, but the silent question that I didn't ask was answered as he began to stride towards me.Then, in one swift and smooth motion, he leaned down closer to me since he was much taller than I am.Then, before I could even blink, his lips locked with mine to my shock. I was supposed to pull away. I was supposed to shove him away from me instantly, because not only was he the man who had made my life miserable, but he was also Lorenzo, who was more or less a monster.But, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. At first, it was the fear of him getting annoyed at me for attempting to shove him away and shooting me with anger – but soon, it stopped being because of just that.His lips slanted over mine and I couldn’t even find the strength in me to keep my eyes open. Tingles shot through every inch of my body and when his hand came up to tug on my j

Mia's POV "A good person…" I repeated after Maria as if that was the first time I've ever heard those words being used, while also trying to imagine Lorenzo in my head as a supposedly good person.The word ‘good’ and Lorenzo in the same sentence seems like the most unbelievable combination to ever exist.Even though he was yet to hurt me, he has shown me several times that it was not something that was difficult for him to do, but for some reason, he always seemed to hesitate when it came to me. I had concluded that it was just part of his mind games.Because, that most definitely hadn’t made him a good person in my books.The more time that I had spent in the house and I kept hearing his name over and over, I realized that it actually rang a bell.Actually, it rang several times. When I was living back with my parents, I had heard his name several times but I had not paid much attention to it. However, his name was always spoken with a tone of fear between harsh whispers.I decided

Mia's POV The next house that we went to was even bigger than the last and it had more people. The realization that this meant that the little privacy that I had before would be completely evaporated because of this, made my mood drastically."We are going shopping in about half an hour," He said as he walked past me, after telling a maid to show me to my room that had been prepared before my arrival.No. I couldn't let things go like this even, if I was a prisoner. I still had some say in my own life and so before he could take another step, I grabbed him or at least I tried to grab his hand but was only able to catch a bundle of his V neck top.He looked back at me instantly; it was as if everything froze when he asked me what I was currently doing with my fingers on his shirt. I hastily bit my bottom lip, wondering if this was a good idea to begin with. I didn’t want him to yell at me but then my frustration of living like a lifeless doll overpowered my fear at that moment."Can

Mia's POV The moment his blue eyes focused on me like laser rays, I felt a bolt of awareness course through my body instantly.He had not really paid me much attention after I had stepped out of the spa, or while I was getting ready, because he had been so focused on his phone.But now that he was looking at me like this, it was as if it was the first time he was seeing me. I instantly felt self conscious, because even his men would see how he was literally trying to drill a hole through my body with his eyes alone.It was so bad that one of them had to walk up to him and ask him if they were going to the party or not.He seemed to have woken up from a dream as his eyes snapped over to the tall man that had spoken to him."I don't remember saying that we weren't going, so of course we are all going. All of you should get ready…"He then turned over to me and he looked like he was about to say something, but his eyes only once again raked my entire body up and down, right before he ave

Lorenzo's pov Why was she looking at me like that with those green doeish eyes which were ridiculously mesmerizing as fuck.For a moment, I considered just ignoring the meeting and staying with her, but that would be completely ridiculous. I was needed at the meeting for a lot of reasons and I knew that I would make a lot of people uncomfortable by just attending so of course, I needed to do so.As I finally left her side, I took one last look around he hall where the party was being held and some of my men strategically-placed in different directions, enough to give her space to enjoy the party but then with enough proximity that they would all be shielding her in case things went south at any time.Finally, I left her side and after breaking my way through the crowd moving up a flight of stairs and then spinning around a little bit, following the directions that the waiter had left in the encrypted note. I was standing in front of a steel door sometime later. I opened the door and t
