Mia’s pov “To begin with, what even are you doing here right now?” I demanded while regarding her and shaking my head at once. She had two girls with her, girls were were obviously some sort of followers to her.“We’re here to teach you some lessons.” One of the girls who had short, blonde hair responded while folding her hands at once. She looked like she wanted to pull my hair or something right now, which is very wild to me because I’ve never met her before. “You know, for one, it’s not only ridiculous that you and your minions have decided to come corner me here in the restroom, you had to also arrive with two followers. Tell me, Lily, are you that scared of me?” I continued, eyes gleaming on purpose as I spoke, while knowing it was going to get on her nerves at once. A scowl gathered on Lily’s face as soon as my words sank into her head, and I watched as shock crossed her two follower faces, which proved that indeed, Lily had kept the details of the both of us getting in

Mia’s pov I wrapped my arms around my middle even more while pointedly staring at my feet as I quickened my footsteps, feeling like I was being chased even though multiple frantic checks had proved that I wasn’t being chased and was only being paranoid.After successfully exiting the mall, which took way longer than I expected because I didn’t know my way around the mall and got lost a few times while trying to find the back entrance.When I finally found it, I thought somehow, the guard must have figured out what it was that I was trying to do and would be there waiting for me outside the back entrance, and even though he was nowhere in sight, every veins in me was still strung tight in nerves as I hastily began to wap away from the mall while hoping that the guard wouldn’t notice my absence quickly.As soon as he does, he’s definitely going to alert Lorenzo at once, and then he’d order that they all go out to search for me, and then once they do, I’d be dead meat at once.That tho

Mia’s pov I refused to call him at first, too scared to actually hear his voice over the phone, but a quick click of a gun made me scramble to accept the phone from one of the guy to call Lorenzo at once, putting it to loud speaker as ordered.“H- hello?” I whispered tentatively minutes after the call got answered on the second ring and neither of us had breathed out a word.“Mia.” Was all Lorenzo said. It wasn’t a question, it was a statement and it made my stomach tighten even more.Feeling unsure of how to continue, I glanced up at the guys who shook the gun in a silent reminder, which prompted me into spilling out that I had been abducted some time ago and that I’m being threatened to be killed if he doesn’t show up.Even as I said those words, I knew Lorenzo wasn’t going to show up. Lorenzo doesn't care enough about his plan to use me in his revenge plot to actually show up, and I was proven right when Lorenzo only snorted. Probably feeling fed up, one of the guy whisked the ph

Mia’s pov I let my eyes full shut for a moment while I tried to figure out if I was hallucinating or not. Blinking my eyes open and seeing the shock look still plastered on Lorenzo’s face as he raked his eyes over the man who had spoken and the rest who were all slowly taking off their masks.Lorenzo slowly huffed out a breath, eyes slowly trailing over the bared faces and I watched as more recognition dawned on him.“Marcus?” A disbelief laugh escaped his lungs this time as he slowly moved his feet off the throat of the dude trapped underneath it. “What the fuck?” Lorenzo whispered and I watched as the leader who supposedly went by Marcus closed the distance between Lorenzo and tugged him into an embrace. My confusion tripled when Lorenzo returned the hug tightly, a throaty laugh leaving his mouth.It took a little while for the hug to be over and one after the other, Lorenzo exchanged hugs with them all, except the last one whose throat Lorenzo had stepped on. Lorenzo held him at

Mia’s pov As the hot water poured down my body and washed off the sweat and grime off my body, I still couldn’t find it in me to be relaxed. Everything in me was taut with nervousness and it was for a very reasonable cause. After Lorenzo had asked me to go take a shower, I had done just that, because I knew I was in no place to ask questions. It felt like I was a sacrificial lamb that was being washed before it got slaughtered. That made the fear inside of me to triple, which prompted me into shoving that thought away from the front of my mind. He had clearly been furious. Despite his face being blank most of the time, it wasn’t hard for me to notice the anger burning in his eyes. This was unlike the other times whereby he had been mad at me here and there. Tonight’s own was definitely a completely different thing, which in other words, means that I was totally done for. I let out a sigh as I exited the bathroom and toweled my hair dry. The shower felt very relaxing a
