" You're what?" I asked again to confirm if I had only just imagined it. Alexander rolled his eyes, which I must admit was a bit sexy. " I said I'm sorry. I should have at least listened to your side of the story, I could have heard you out but I believed my sister". He said with his head bowed. This was the first time I was seeing this side of him, nervous and uncertain. My lips twitched. I wanted to smile but I had to stop myself from doing so, but he looked so funny that I couldn't help myself. "Ha... Ha... Ha..." I burst into laughter."God... You should see your face right now..." I said in midst of my laughter. He looked like a child who was just told he'll never eat ice cream in his life ever again, pitiful." What's so funny huh?" He scoffed, his face turning back to his usual cold and expressionless demeanor. I shook my head trying to contain my laughter by biting my lips. " Really?" His voice turned low as he walked towards me, taking one slow step after the other.My

Mia's POVI felt my entire body froze up as I heard that. Look here Ria... There's nothing going on between Mia and I, and there would never be.Look here Ria... There's nothing going on between Mia and I, and there would never beLook here Ria... There's nothing going on between Mia and I, and there would never beThere was nothing going on...There would never be...Alexander's words kept ringing in my ears over and over again. He openly just said there was nothing going on between us!But that was the truth, wasn't it? We only kissed and for just a split second and that was it. There wad indeed nothing going on between us. I bit my trembling lips trying to keep it still." I've told you this before... I'm not over Grace yet, and even if I was, I can't date Mia". Alexander added breaking my heart even more. My eyes turned red and my lips I was trying so hard to stop from trembling released silent sobs. He was not over Grace... His wife, his fucking dead wife, and even if he wa

I stayed in my study the rest of the day working, at least trying to get some work done, but I couldn't even think properly. All I could think about was Mia and that kiss. God, her lips felt so...I slammed the documents in my hands back on the table. I was not going anywhere with this. I got up from my chair and walked to the mini wine bar I had in my office. It was quite hidden so it was hard to notice. I picked up a bottle of whiskey and a glass and went back to my chair, before pouring the whiskey in the glass. How deep were my feelings for Mia for Christ sake? All I could think of right now was her and what she was doing right now. My mind went to the sexy dress she was putting on, and how it made my body feel... Shit! I drowned the glass and poured myself a new one.Mia was unlocking feelings that I never knew I still had and it was driving me crazy no knowing how and why and if she even knows what she was doing to me. I drowned the second glass before dropping it with a

Alexander's POV"What do you mean it's your money? Remember, I'm the one who put you in the position you're in now!" My father yelled, his face red with rage. We had been arguing for almost two hours, and I could see the vein in his forehead bulging. Victoria must have told him everything about Mia, and he looked like he was about to have a heart attack."You'll bring that girl to me, and I'll take care of her," he demanded, his eyes blazing with fury.I narrowed my eyes at him, clenching my fists. "I won't," I said defiantly. "Mia is my responsibility. I bought her with my money, and I'll take care of her."My father's face turned purple with rage. "How dare you speak to me like that! I'm still your father! I put you in your position!" He gripped his walking stick tightly, his knuckles white with anger.I smirked, trying to control my own anger. "Yes, you did, but I earned it. And I'm not letting you get your hands on Mia. She belongs to me."My father's eyes flashed with anger. "Al
