Rico. I can't stop thinking about what that woman said. Is it true I had an affair with my brother's wife? I don't know what to think. The screams from down the hall make an uncomfortable feeling form in my stomach. Carl and his wife are fighting. Mia hasn't approached me yet, and I have no idea what I will tell her. My gut tells me the woman was lying. If I had a woman like Mia with me, what would possibly make me look at anyone else? The girl is everything and more, and how she just handled business downstairs makes her more beautiful. I will never want to lose a girl like that for something that does not belong to me. I felt nothing when I saw my brother's wife. It can't be true." Hey," I quickly turn around to the sound of her soft voice. She is now changed from the work clothes, and only has a white shirt that I'm assuming is mine from how huge it is on her smaller body. Her eyes are clear, they hold no accusation nor sadness as I expected. "Hi, how was your day?" I ask m

Mia. Kay promised after the first three months, I would start behaving normally but no. I just ate six fucking pancakes and I am about to cry about it. At this point, I think the only thing keeping me sane is work. This is so embarrassing. More reason to believe the kid inside me is a girl. She is causing so much trouble already. Neera arrives with my ringing phone and I thank heavens for saving me from the embarrassment. It's a call from my secretary. This reminds me I have a meeting at ten. "Yes?" I put the phone on speaker and place it on the table. "Boss, the representatives from Bentley will be here in an hour. I am calling to remind you that" her urgent voice comes through. "Thank you" I look at my watch and hastily get up from Rico's arms. As a growing company, I have been receiving offers from different brands and since our client's demands are variable, I am left with no choice but to sign partnerships with different brands. My initial plan was to keep 100% of my compa

Mia. "You don't look happy, "Matt says as soon as I hang up and I sigh sitting up in my bed. "Are you happy, Matt?" I ask back and he seems perplexed by my question. Matt glances at my stomach and deeply sighs before running his fingers through his hair. " I Just wish things were different" He mutters and I nod walking to my closet. "Me too" I came home hours ago and he decided to keep me company. Though I was on the verge of falling asleep before Rico's call.It's been a while since I was here and I just thought it would be a good idea if I gave Rico some alone time. I know he feels obliged to be with me because I am pregnant and I don't want that. I want him to want me and not because he feels guilty for not being there for me and his baby.I didn't expect him to call. And of all the excuses I could give, did I have to say I wanted to see Mum? I haven't seen her for a while and I don't plan to any time soon. I am scared that she will act bitchy again and I will be tempted to hur

Mia. [Warning: There is mention of blood and torture in this chapter]"Thank you," I mumble, getting out of the car when Rico opens my door. Ask me how he got here. Well, I don't know because I left him at home. Did Fabio alert him when I was being followed?"Why didn't you tell me you were going after him? " Rico grumbles, gently holding my shoulders to stop me from walking."Don't even think about grounding me again, Rico. In case you didn't notice, my stomach is getting bigger every passing day, and I can't give birth when these people are still roaming around" I angrily yell jerking away from him. Fuck, I hope he is not planning on locking me in his room again."Who said I was going to ground you, Mia? I want to know where you are and that you are safe" He yells back and I dangerously glare at him."Oh! The way you have been doing it for the last three months? " I lowly chuckle walking away."Is that why you have been avoiding me? " I don't answer his question. Rico angrily hits

Mia. Waking up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty, I gently slide from Rico's arms, careful enough not to wake him. Thankfully, I don't crave ice cream anymore. That stuff was cold, especially in the middle of the night. I press a lingering kiss on Rico's forehead and smile at his cute sleeping face. I would want to wake up at this face for the rest of my life. Was he seriously proposing yesterday? Getting married at eighteen is crazy and in case he proposed to me right now, I would wait until I am at least twenty to marry him. And I am not popping any more babies for him until I am married. However, Rico is a gentle lover and I would hate being away from him or letting anyone else have him. Even when I wasn't pregnant, he has never treated me roughly in bed and I still wonder how he does it with all the hard muscles on his body. Has he been holding himself for my sake? Since there are always men around the house, I walk to the closet to dress appropriately before heading
