Mag-log inMIA“Dad, I know you're angry but please. Listen to me. You know Xavier, you've been with him for over a year. Please, don't let his father deceive you. You know Aemond has always been against us for the longest time and he never wanted us to be together. Will you let him win?” The tears that I'd been trying to stop were finally coming down my face but my father was fixed. He had gotten up from his chair and was pacing about. I could tell that it would take a lot for my tears to move him. Whenever he was in this mood, he wasn't my soft father anymore. “Mia, you know I will do everything to protect you. And this is exactly the situation that I will have to show my power as your father. From the beginning, I knew that that boy was no good but for you, I decided to give him a chance. While he has proven himself to be able to protect you and take care of you, it's obvious that his father still has a strong hold on him and he still cares about his father's influence. I will NOT give my
MIA“What are you doing here?”Hearing my father's voice, my heart sank. Not that I was caught doing anything wrong. I'd taken a seat, looking innocently in his office. “Waiting for you. I heard you had a meeting so I decided to wait.” He looked around his office, his eyes scanning for something like he was hoping to find that I'd moved something. “Did you touch anything?” “Of course not, why would I? I have no business with your things.” With my tone, he chose to believe me or maybe he just didn't have the strength to argue. Whichever it was, he let it go and walked over to his desk. “What are you doing out of bed? You should be resting, you just got out of the hospital. Do you need anything?” “I’ve been home resting for weeks. If I stay in bed anymore, I'd get back sores and I don't want that. Plus, I wanted to see you and speak to you about something. But first, how was your meeting?” He sighed. “Same old boring thing. Don't worry about it, you won't understand it either w
MiaI've been home for almost a week now. Not once had I seen Xavier. When I asked about him, his uncle said that he had to do something so he was going to be away for a while. In my head, I figured that maybe they were talking about the fact that he had to check Otis's house for the papers but I'd been trying to reach him for quite a while and there was nothing. His phone wasn't going through and I hadn't heard anything from him. Falcon came around at some point to see me, actually she had been around since that day. Her presence made me feel some sort of edge because it had been a long time since she had been around for this long. She was always with Xavier's father which meant that since she was away from the house, there had to be a problem but the way they kept trying to hide the truth let me know that something was wrong. “You are wrong. There is nothing wrong. Xavier just needs time with his father and they're trying to settle their differences.”If Xavier was going to go
XAVIERAs he poured me a cup of whatever he was drinking, I sat still, the smell of his cologne filling my lungs. Him being close to me had always intimidated me in a way or two, maybe it was the memories of when he used to be mad at me and he'd raise his voice and stand over me and breathe down fire on me. He filled the cup to the top and I could feel his eyes lingering on me for a second. “You don't know how this news you brought me tonight is the icing on the cake. I mean, I just closed a discussion with someone very important to the company over dinner and things went smoothly. And now, I hear that that little while is out of the way. Could this night get any better?”He genuinely looked very happy and elated at the news and that's how I knew the plan was going well. He had eaten it up. What was next was the final straw, the final seasoning. “Actually, I've decided to marry Madison.”This was the part where he began to get suspicious. His smile faded as he turned around to lo
XAVIER“So tell me, what was that stunt over at Jenkins's ball? What issue do you have with his kid?” This isn't the reason I'm here but he was bringing up things that I didn't want to think about. How the hell did he remember what happened that night? I had completely forgotten about all that. “Oh, that. Um, it was about Mia. He was being too friendly and touchy with her.”He scoffed, swivelling in his chair. “That little girlfriend you carry around is the problem and I don't understand how you don't realize that. She had you wrapped around her finger or maybe she possessed you. But if you weren't so in love, you would have seen that she is the problem. I'm sure she flirted with him first and tried to use her charm to get to him.”I faked a gasp. “He said the same thing but I didn't believe him. He said she texted him first after seeing her at school, even showed me proof but I didn't believe him. She said the texts were doctored.”When he leaned in and rested on the table, I kn
XAVIERGoing to my father's house was something that needed a lot of mental prepping and exercises. Mainly because he would take away every ounce of joy you think you had. Well, there was nothing to be happy about right now so I didn't have anything to worry about. In my head, I thought of several ways to start the conversation, trying to figure out his responses in advance. They all ended up in bad ways .But I had to start at some point. Firstly, I confirmed from Falcon if he was home and in a good mood. She didn't know about the plan, I'd tell her about it when I got to the house. “Yes, he just had some guests over for dinner and they seemed to have a good conversation. Business partners. He's in his office right now.”The perfect place to have a reasonable conversation with him. He must have had one or two glasses of whiskey and that's only when he would be able to be reasonable. When I was about to leave the house, I didn't tell my uncle. Mainly because I didn't feel like
