Love me Again Chapter Twelve ~ Am I Cursed?
Mia's POVI sat quietly, smiling sheepishly as I watched my team members celebrate our win with such jubilation...The joy in their hearts and the smiles on their faces felt immeasurable. I wished I could feel the same, but the burden in my heart was a roadblock to this moment of bliss.“Hey everyone, let’s raise our glasses and make a toast to the woman who made this possible. Cheers to Mia Lud, who brought us this win!” a man called out, raising his glass.They all lifted theirs in unison.“A toast to Mia Lud, to success, to more wins!” Emily echoed, and everyone chanted, “Cheers!” as their glasses clinked joyfully in the air.I was overwhelmed. I’ve had a tough life—who would’ve thought this is how I’d have my first taste of liquor? I started drinking and couldn’t stop. The sensation it gave me made me feel alive. I laughed as a tear slid down my cheek at the silliest jokes... we were all, quite literally, drunk.We danced to the music and ate to our fill. Emily, who had her fair s

~Mia~ I stood opposite my father as I tried to fathom the gravity of his words in my heart. “What do you mean, Dad?” I asked, not wanting to believe my ears. “You have no choice, Mia; you must marry him.” The surrounding atmosphere began to choke; my breath became heavy. “Listen to me, Mia, he's not as bad as you think." “But I don't want to get married,” I said, widening my eyes as the whole event seemed to be turning my life upside down. “My life depends on your marriage, Mia. Maybe this is the last straw of your tolerance towards me because of everything I have done. But please give me an opportunity to live.” He was calm with a voice of remorse and his back turned to me. “Let's go back inside; he's waiting for us.” He walked out lacking the courage to look at my face. I stood blankly in the direction he followed and wished he was never my father. I walked back inside and sat adjacent to Mr. Robert Lud. He is a man with chiseled features, dark piercing brown eyes, and sl

~Mia~I stood before the ornate mirror in the Celeste gown by Oscar de la Renta. The strapless mermaid-styled dress hugged my curves, displaying my toned physique. The soft ivory silk cascaded down my body. Embroidered with special floral and beading that glittered like moonlight, as I looked at my reflection, I was dazed by my outlook. The woman staring back is now a version of elegance, wealth, and poise.“Is this what my father wanted? " To sell me for wealth?” I questioned with a perplexed expression. I wonder how much he has now in his bank account, how much he has to lavish on his alcoholic lifestyle. I wish I had the heart to leave him like Mom did. " Why must I pay for his debt?""I felt my anger boiling up. But my thoughts were interrupted as Emily walked in. She was dazed with astonishment at seeing me.“Ma’am, you need to step out now; it's time.” She said as she moved close to help me make my way to the altar.“It's fine; I can walk on my own,” I said, objecting to her att

~MIA~“You're not invited,” Robert said, glaring at her, his teeth clinging together as he spoke. “I'm part of the family, Robert, and as my humble and kindhearted brother isn't well enough to attend, it's just so right I represent myself as a family member, right?” Victoria said as her gaze slowly moved in my direction.""Nice choice,"" she said as she moved her arms to touch my face, but Robert held her arm halfway and pushed it off.“Stop it. " Not another word from you, Victoria.” Robert said with unease, reading through his expression. “Oh! My bad. " I could be a loudmouth sometimes.” She said sarcastically as she moved slowly towards his ears. “Well, your little secret is safe with me as long as you give me what I want at the board meeting; then I won't chase away your little princess.”She tapped his shoulder and walked away majestically, leaving Robert with a disturbed expression.“What is she talking about?” I asked as I pulled my arms out of his grip. He looked at me rat

~Robert POV~ I couldn't believe I finally got her. It was an easy catch indeed, and I wondered how much she had endured at the hands of her father. I sat in the study, and her image kept on coming into my head. The way she smiled while at the altar, she looked so stunning. A knock interrupted my thoughts, and I knew the reports of the research were ready. “Sir, here's the document you asked for,” Dennis, my private investigator, said to me as he dropped the file on the table. “Have you gotten the person responsible for the accident?” “Not yet, sir, but evidence is pointing to the black wolves. It seems a member of the club has a grudge towards you.” “Then find out who the hell it is, or else all the members of the Black Wolf will pay; no one dares mess with the Venoms.” “Yes sir,” Dennis walked out of the office swiftly to follow up with my commands. I tore open the file, and my suspicions were confirmed. The DNA test between Johnson and Mia was negative. He's not the rea

~Mia POV~I woke up to a sunny morning the next day. The rays of the sunset shined softly on my face. I turned reluctantly, not wanting to get out of bed.As I stepped out into the dining room, I saw Robert carefully setting the dishes. He smiled warmly at me as I walked towards the dining. The table had different kinds of dishes on it. The aroma from the dish greeted my nose, making my stomach grumble. “You made this?” “Well, I do try sometimes to do some dishes.” He said and smiled.“Humm,” I nodded as I took my seat. We sat opposite each other, and I could sense his gaze was fixed on me.The elegant table had a freshly squeezed grape juice, poached eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce on toasted English muffins with a bottle of Bellini.“Eat!” Robert said to me as I sat still admiring the dishes.We began eating, and the clattering of the cutlery filled the air. “I saw you first on a rainy day in the countryside in California.” I chewed slowly as he spoke.

~ Mia POV~ I rushed downstairs when I realised time was far gone and I might miss the board meeting. I was to be at work today by 9 am, and it's already 8:30. “Good morning, ma’am, your breakfast…” “I'm so sorry, but I won't be having breakfast,” I calmly said to the butler with a tone of anxiety. “Get me the car, fast!” I said, raising my voice slightly higher than normal at the chauffeur as I glanced at my wristwatch. “Yes, ma’am,” he said as he stepped out to get the car ready. “Where's Emily?” I asked, looking around. But no one seems to have an answer to that. I took my bag and dashed into the car. As I stepped into the office building, I was greeted by Emily. “Why weren't you at the mansion?” I asked as we both walked in. “That's because I needed to set up your office, ma’am, but you're running late at present for a board meeting holding prior to your new position.” I stopped abruptly as she mentioned the board meeting, reminding me of Robert's words during dinne

~MIA~I stepped out of the Bugatti as we walked into the Luds luxurious mall. The opulent atrium had a gleaming marble floor with crystal chandeliers. The golden light illuminated the upscale boutiques, casting a sophisticated glow. As we strolled into the mall, the sweet scent of designer perfume wafted through the air.Robert held my hands, which made me a little startled and uncomfortable. “We are in public, so we need to paint a perfect picture,” he said through his teeth as he forged a smile.I scoffed as I flowed with the charade.

Love me Again Chapter eleven ~ Costly Truth ~
Robert’s POVI held on tight to her as she wept. My heart stood still, breaking into a million pieces all over again. Her tears made me clench my fists—I felt like giving Mr. Johnson a real blow. But not here, not now.I gently led her to the car, and we drove home in silence. Her face was turned toward the windshield, and I could tell a lot was running through her mind.I’ve watched Mia work tirelessly since she joined the company. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m the reason behind her intense drive. Am I the catalyst? Does she want to leave me that badly?I still couldn't believe I had confessed my feelings to her in front of my father and Victoria. Gosh! I had no idea how to escape the situation at the time, so I just… confessed. For crying out loud, I married her against her will—to pay off the debt of a man who isn’t even her father.We got home, and I watched as she quietly walked to her room. I wanted to ask if she was okay. I wanted to know if she needed me to stay by her side. I wa

MIA POV"Gosh!" I let out a frustrated sigh when I just couldn't find the perfect dress to wear. Following the fact that Robert had been acting all weird since the last night.I did felt ackward but his been uncomfortable around me. His distancing towards me had been on another level it self.I quickly wore something simple and met Robert in the sitting room, waiting for me. He wanted to officially introduce me to his father. Although he didn't seem happy about it, he kept saying his dad insisted on seeing us both.As I met him, he gave me no compliment on my dress. He had a sad face and barely threw me a glance."Are you alright?" I asked as we stepped into the elevator, but he said nothing and didn't even look at me.I just don’t get his attitude. One day he’s all nice and clingy, and the next minute he’s acting all weird and distant. Or was it because of the incident the other day? When he saw me naked… No, I should be the one acting shy, not him.The door opened swiftly, signaling

Mia POVI was filled with joy over the progress my team and I had made. Emily had been working hard to ensure this contract was sealed. I arrived at the restaurant where I would be meeting Jake Hickson, the general secretary of Richard Cops Investment Limited.A waiter greeted me at the reception and took the reservation card from me. "This way, ma'am," he said, directing me to the VIP section exclusively booked for our meeting. I must say, this is no small contract. Seeing how I am being treated at a proposal finalization meeting. I sat down calmly, waiting for Jake.The waiter offered me wine, but I declined, opting for a Virgin Sunset mocktail instead. I heaved a sigh of relief as the mocktail was brought.“Thanks,” I muttered and sipped quietly staring at my watch repeatedly The warm glow of the traditional candles cast a golden light on the intimate two-table setting.As I waited, memories flooded my mind. "El Patio" had been my favorite restaurant since childhood, a place my

~Robert POV~ Victoria sat on the cushion with her legs crossed as she gently sipped a mug of creamy tea. “What do you want this time?” I asked as I stood backing Victoria with my arms crossed behind me as I glanced at my newly purchased painting. “You know, I've always loved your paintings and how top-notch your choices have been. But I'm scared as the man behind these paintings is becoming weak.” I turned to face Victoria with a grin on her face, knowing she had finally gotten the kind of attention she seeks. “I'm not weak.” I said in a defiant manner “I'm afraid you're becoming one Robert Lud.” She placed the mug of creamy tea on the table and walked towards my position. “It's been three days since you discovered Mia is not the daughter of Mr. Johnson, yet you kept quiet and hid the truth away from her.” “I need more time, Victoria.” “Oh really? More time being lovey-dovey with her, or more time trying to sleep with her…” “Victoria!” I yelled, gazing at her furi
