Mia's POV "I can't do this anymore, Mia; I'm done with you." I'm done with you? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. No. We can't be done this way. "You're done with me?" I asked sarcastically."You can't do what exactly anymore? Tell me what it is you're not doing anymore Dylan! I want to know. You know how much I like you and you know I kept my virginity for you. I kept it for you, and you gladly took it; now you're telling me you're done? Is this some sick joke?.""I'm not joking right now Mia, and you should get over this whole "I let you take my virginity" shit for f*cks sake. I didn't beg you to keep it for me and it's not anything special anyway. It was just a tight fresh p*ssy then. Now it's less tight, thanks to me", he smirked.I scoffed, feeling my cheeks heat up. "It's nothing special? Really? That's all you have to say? I can't believe this. Are you ending things because you can't stop seeing me as your best friend's sister? Is that it?"He laughed. "You sent me to t
Ten years later Mia's POV"Welcome, Miss Jason. We're so excited to finally have you here with us. Thank you for making it" I smiled at her. "Thank you, too, for welcoming me. I'm glad to be here, and I can't wait to work with you all." They had no idea.She laughed a bit, using her hand to cover her mouth. "Although we've already spoken a couple of times on the phone, I'll introduce everyone to you, starting with myself!"She touched her chest. "As you already know, I'm Kira, the head of resources and welfare, and I've been working here for the last six years, then this is Mr. Scott's assistant, Bella. She's been here for four years" She gestured to a petite pretty woman sitting beside her who looked bored. Of course, his assistant is this pretty; I'm sure he's f*cked her, too.Kira nodded toward a man sitting nearby. "This is Sheldon, our Vice President. He practically started the company with Mr. Scott, so he's been here the longest out of everyone in this board meeting, and he k
Dylan's POVI didn't know I'd missed seeing her beautiful brown eyes this much and for a moment, I'd lost all control of my senses. I wanted to rush over to her and kiss her, but the indifferent look on her face brought me back to my senses."It's nice to finally meet you, Mr Scott.", she said smugly"It's Nice to meet me?", I scoffed in disbelief. How can she comfortably act like this is the first time we're meeting each other?She nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face. I couldn't help but notice how damn gorgeous she was now. She'd always been a pretty girl, but now– she was a full-grown, sexy woman with perfect curves. I wonder how she'd look beneath me again."Dylan, Miss Jason here is-""Save it. I know who Mia is, Sheldon.""That's Good then. Although, I wasn't aware you knew who she was.", Kira said with a confused look on her face."I know her very well, Kira", you all have no idea.Mia showed no emotion over me or my claiming to know her. She looked like she couldn'
Mia's POV Dylan is still a horrible person; well, it's not like I expected him to be a changed man or anything by now, but how could he act all familiar and cosy with me like we're long-time friends? Okay, maybe we were, but not anymore. Not after what he did to me.I'm only here to do my job, and when I'm done with that, we'll go our separate ways again. This is all about business so I'll just have to do my best to put up with him for as long as we're working together. I keep having this feeling he's going to be unnecessarily difficult, but that's fine; I came prepared for his bullshit.I was more than exhausted by the time I got back to the hotel room Dylan's " assistant" kindly arranged for me; I could bet anything he was fucking her secretly, though, but I don't care; that's the kind of man he is. I just hope she doesn't make the same mistake I made.I groaned as I threw myself into the bed. Another day, another stuck-up, arrogant client. This has been my life since I graduated b
Dylan's POV She opened the door for me with a look of annoyance or maybe, disgust? on her face, but I was more than ready for any confrontation. I know her better than she knows herself, whether she'd like to admit it or not."You do know you shouldn't be here right now?" She said as I walked in, "We are business partners, but this isn't in any way part of business.""We were more than just business partners at one time, weren't we?", I smirked."Oh my gosh! That was ten whole years ago. Can you not bring that up?" She slammed the door behind her in annoyance."Well, you can't blame me for remembering our beautiful past, Miss Jason." I said as I took a seat by the table."Can you please just leave already?!" She paced the room muttering stuff to herself, one of the things she did when she was pissed. My eyes watched her full boobs with pointed nipples, bouncing up and down as she marched round the room.When she looked up at me and noticed where my eyes were, she stopped moving and f
Mia's POV I was waiting patiently in his office the next morning with the contract in my handbag."Good Morning, Mr Scott.""I wish we could drop the formalities, Miss Jason. Wouldn't that be more comfortable?" His icy blue eyes locked with mine, challenging me. Unfortunately for him, I came prepared."I'd feel better if we could keep the formalities during and outside work, sir," I said in a mocking tone.He scoffed and was about to say something when he glanced at his assistant Bella, who was there to take notes of our meeting."During and outside work huh?" He smirked, leaning in his chair. "Okay then, Miss Jason. Let's see how long you keep up with that."I suddenly had the urge to punch the smug look off his face."I'd love to have another meaningless argument with you today but I'm tired from the wild night I had last night. Thanks to you invading my hotel room last night and pissing me off, I went to a nightclub and had hot sex with a stranger. Let's get this over with so I ca
Dylan's POV I wanted to apologise for hurting her and her family, especially her. I also wanted to explain myself and give answers to all her questions from ten years ago. But this wasn't the time for that yet.With this contract, though, I would make sure I have the right space and chance to talk to her about it.I picked up the contract, flipping through each page to see the so-called changes she's made.Miss Mia Jason agrees to spend personal time outside work hours with client Mr Dylan Scott, on all days of the week including weekends. She added under it, For three to four hours a day, weekends excluded.Four hours is more than enough for me. I could work with that.I smiled a bit as I read the next clause. During travel, Miss Mia Jason must sleep in the same room as the client, Mr Dylan Scott. She wrote under it in capital letters... DREAM ON. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.I looked up at her, amused. "Don't tell me you don't trust yourself enough to stay away from me, Miss Jason?"She g
Mia's POV We walked through the building where Dylan's first official interview was being held. He walked with so much pride and confidence that no one would guess that he had not done a live interview before. I wanted to slap his head to bring him down to earth but that would be unnecessary trouble for me right now. He still had the same annoying poker face and closed-off attitude. I used to think I would be able to see through him, know how he feels and what he thinks about. But I could never understand Dylan and anytime I finally felt like he'd let me in, he'd quickly shut me out again. It hurt then because I was open and vulnerable with him. I showed him parts of me my brother is unaware of. I worked hard to strengthen our bond but he worked hard to push me away all the time. I think deep down I knew he didn't love me, but I had hope...I was desperate but that's all in the past now. I walked a few feet behind him, going through the interview questions and our other schedule
Mia’s POVGetting ready to move was taking longer than it was supposed to, so we had to agree to leave tomorrow. Truth wasn’t exactly thrilled, and I couldn’t blame her. The energy around us had shifted, heavier somehow since Dylan showed up. She barely looked at him, barely responded when he tried to start conversations. She gave him one-word answers, avoided eye contact, and stayed close to me.It made things...awkward. And as much as I hated to admit it, a small part of me was grateful she didn’t take to him so easily. I wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t sure if I ever would be.Dylan invited himself to spend the night in my house, claiming it was too late to head back. I knew he could go back but there was no point arguing with him in front of our daughter.He was supposed to sleep in the guest bedroom. Supposed to.We'd been awkward around each other since that time in the plane, but that's clearly his fault. I wish we didn't have to do any of this but it wouldn't be fair to him a
Dylan's POV I was getting really anxious and impatient waiting for Mia to come out, so I considered letting myself in. I was still thinking about it when the front door opened, and I saw my daughter running out.I was stunned at how she looked exactly like her mother when she was that age. No wonder no one could guess I was her father; it's like my genes went on a vacation because she looks nothing like me. Mia really pulled a copy and paste on this one. She rushed to where I stood and stopped in front of me. She cocked her head to the side and looked at me from head to toe like she was assessing me. We looked at each other for a while, saying nothing, but then she smiled a bit and said, “Hi, I'm Truth Lynn Jason.”I smiled back at her widely, “I know who you are, Princess. And it’s so nice to finally meet you.” She doesn't know it yet but soon she'd bear my name instead.She glanced back, probably to check if her mom was coming but she wasn’t there yet. Then she gestured at me to
Mia's POV When he came back to sit down in the cabin, he tried to talk to me again, but I shut him out completely, so we didn’t talk for the rest of the flight. Which was absolutely fine with me. I needed to prepare myself to face my daughter.Soon after landing, we were sitting in the backseat of his car, Dylan was on the phone yelling at someone while I stared at my hands, trying to calm my nerves. I couldn’t believe I was able to resist him earlier. I didn’t think I would be able to. Unfortunately, my body was betraying me, and my feelings are all messed up now, too.I can't let him get to me this time. I'm only moving in with him for our daughter’s sake. This shouldn't be a chance for us to get back together. I know I'm not all that but still….Dylan doesn't deserve me. I took slow, deep breaths which seemed to help pretty well. I should have never let him get to me again even in the slightest bit. Why didn’t I try to fight him in court first? I could've won somehow.“Kira, I do
Mia’s POVOnce again, we were on Dylan’s private jet. Just the two of us. Except this time, we weren’t heading out for anything work related.We were going to see my…our daughter.The air was too quiet, as if the plane itself knew we weren’t just dragging luggage, we were also dragging years of painful things better left unsaid.It wasn’t just the thought of Truth waiting for me when I got home that made my stomach twist. It was knowing Dylan would be there too when I saw her. That he’d be meeting her for the first time ever in his life.I called her but I didn’t even tell Truth he was coming. I just couldn't bring myself to tell her over the phone.What was I supposed to say? “Hey baby, guess what?! That man you’ve asked me about a few times…yes, I mean your father ….Oh, he's coming home with me today, so look your best for him.”I glanced at him from across the cabin. He looked too calm for a man about to meet his child. His eyes were shut, his hands folded behind his head like he w
Dylan's POV She scoffed, “Can you just try to be reasonable right now?”“I'm always reasonable, Mia. I'm being patient with you right now too. So, why are you being like this? Why can't you just trust me or something?”She muttered, “I'd rather chew wet grass than let myself trust you again so easily.”“For fucks sake, move on from the past! Holding on to it is only going to draw us back.”She stood up like she got pinched on the ass, glaring at me like she wanted to strangle me, “You don’t get to tell me to move on, you arrogant insensitive piece of shit.” “Look, you can choose to keep ranting all you want but that isn't going to help us in any way right now. Just trust me, Mia. I swear I'm a changed man”She scoffed, “You're definitely a changed man. You changed in the worst way possible and I'd be a fool to just trust you again. Now you’re back talking about love and marriage? I craved these things from you years ago, but what did you do? You disappeared!”“You're making it seem
Mia’s POVHe couldn’t even give me a little time to think about all of this. To figure out how to introduce him into my daughter's life.I thought he was being dramatic or trying to emotionally blackmail me when he said he'd bring his lawyer but he was dead serious about it.I told him it wouldn't be fair for my lawyer to be absent and he only said fine and asked for his details. The next thing I knew, he flew both our lawyers here on his private jet first thing in the morning.First-class manipulation dressed up as efficiency. That was Dylan Scott for you. Always the strategist. Always five steps ahead. Always making decisions for both of us even when I'm supposed to be the one in charge.He rented out a huge conference room, which was so unnecessary because it's just four of us, but I didn’t bother to suggest a smaller, less expensive meeting place. It's his own money to waste after all.He sat at the head of the table like a CEO ready to close a billion-dollar deal, but this wasn’t
Dylan's POV “Her daughter?” I managed to ask after a brief silence, I couldn’t believe my ears. There's no way I have a daughter I don't know about. My eyes shot to Mia.“Mia, I'm going to ask you as calmly as I can right now. What is your brother talking about?”She stared at me with wide eyes and confusion on her face while she held her chest like her heart was beating so fast it hurt but I couldn’t care about that at the moment. “Mia.” I stepped toward her, trying to remain calm. “I don’t want to beg you to speak up so fucking say something before I finally lose it.”She looked towards Amah, who shook her head sadly with pity in her eyes, and I could see Mia was still hesitating, but I didn't have the time for that. I need to know what's going on. I walked closer to her so our faces were inches apart.She glanced at her brother, probably for help, before looking at me, “Dylan, please, I can't…” She looked down at her feet.“You can’t what, Mia? Look, I don't have the time for you
Dylan’s POV I was done playing her games. Done waiting for her to admit what we both knew was still there. So once again, I took control. She had no idea I’d been tracking her brother for weeks, well, if she did, she'd definitely freak out and get pissed at me. I hired a private investigator the second I found out through my secretary that we would have to come home. Through the guy I hired, I memorized Michael’s habits, the places he visited, the people he saw, when he went to and came back from work, and the times he was alone. Eventually, I got the perfect opportunity to meet him with Mia. A dinner reservation at a restaurant. That’s where I'd staged the coincidence. That’s where I decided to finally confront them both. It was sneaky. Bold. Maybe even insane. But I was way past caring about that. I’d do anything for her now. I'd do anything for us. And now that I was standing face to face with the man who used to be my best friend, my adopted brother, the man who now looke
Mia's POV I smiled nervously at the unexpected person in front of me. “Michael, Why–I mean what are you doing here?” I noticed he was with his wife so I smiled at her too. He ignored my question and said angrily. “I should be the one asking you that.”His wife, Amah, sighed. “We're here on a date; we heard the food here is great, and it is.” She smiles.“That's nice.” I smiled back before facing my brother, “I didn’t want to come here, but he didn't give me a choice; it's not like we're here on a date, too or something.” Dylan chuckled. “Come on, babe. There's no need to pretend in front of your brother.”I would've slapped him if we weren't in a restaurant. Instead, I said to him coldly. “Please don't play your dumb games in front of my brother. Stop embarrassing me every chance you get.”“I'm not trying to embarrass you, sweetheart. Your brother knows about us already so we don't need to hide our relationship.”Michael scoffed, “So you two are really together. Wow, that's just…wo
