Zadenâs POVâŚI allowed the water to run down my spine. I needed the cold shower after everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours. To top it all, my grandmother was just a few minutes away from the house. I forgot that I had moved Milaâs things to mine, so I didnât mind leaving my door unlocked. She never came here anyway. Not until her scream echoed through the house. She was wrapped in a towel and a shower cap. I didnât understand why she was screaming when she had already seen and touched every inch of my body. Even though it was just one night. It counted for something, I donât expect her to be shy in private matters.Mila had turned her back to me. I was sure her cheeks were burning red as usual. A smirk played on my lips at how shy she easily became with her facial expression giving her away. I grabbed a towel, wrapping it around my waist, but the towel still required my support, so I held it with one hand. I stood behind her trying to excuse her from the bat
Milaâs POVâŚAt first, the sound of his voice on the phone woke me up, but even when his call ended I couldnât go back to sleep. Rather, I stared at him from the bed, admiring his physique. For a moment, my mind wasn't fixated on the dull ache in my chest or the pain in my eye from constant crying; instead, my eyes traced from Zaden's muscular arms, where his polo shirt hugged him tightly, to the loose grey pants that hung from his waist. Just his presence alone messes with my head like an addictive drug that makes me forget my current situation. âSorry, if I woke you up.â His husky voice reached my ears, breaking my gaze from his body to meet his eyes.âIt's fine, I slept for quite a while, so I am okay.ââOkay.â Zaden sat on the chair beside me with his eyes still on me. âHow do you feel?â It was surprising to see that Zaden cared so much, after how he acted all day. A part of me wanted to believe he cared about me and was scared for me, but even I knew it was the baby he was con
Zadenâs POVâŚâMr Blackwell, Miss Grayson, I would have said good to see you both, but given the situation, I would rather not.â My chest tightened at her words, I was scared for both Mila and the baby. I wrapped her Mila's hard in mine, I wasn't sure if it was to calm her down or to relieve myself of the dull ache in my chest. Milaâs panic attack and bleeding had stopped. While they carried out tests on her. I didn't move an inch, I was right beside her the whole time. âThe baby is fine, there is no need to worry. She had a threatened miscarriage, which is normal given it's your first pregnancy so there's no cause for alarm yet.â I gulped at her last words, my gaze still on Mila, her eyes were so tired from her constant crying. âSince this is your first pregnancy there are some things you both don't understand yet. âThere are various causes of a threatened miscarriage and one of them is hypertension. You have to keep your mind clear throughout this pregnancy, don't allow anythin
Milaâs POV⌠Zaden turned me towards him, blocking me from the person's view. The person must have only seen my hair, with how fast he turned me. We were still in each other's arms. Anyone who would see us would know we were just doing something intimate. âCanât you see this is the VIP elevator?â Zaden barked at the person. âI am sorry Mr Blackwell, I wasnât looking when I pressed the button.â The person practically ran off, I am sure Zaden's voice scared the shit out of the guy.âDo you think he saw my face?ââHe didnât.ââThank goodness, that would have been the wrong way to be seen on the first day, donât you think?âHe just gave a casual shrug of his shoulder without actually answering. What was with the sudden attitude? It was so funny how his mood changed in seconds. Mr grumpy was back again without a trace of the man who just massaged my feet and kissed my neck a few seconds ago. I got off at my floor in a hurry, practically skipping from the elevator to prevent anyone from
Zadenâs POV...Milaâs presence at home was intoxicating and now I get to see her at work too. A sigh escaped my lips as I got ready for work. It was at least better than her being involved with that guy Richard. I was glad my nerves were at an end and I decided to look into him, elseâŚI shivered at the thought of Mila and Richard together, it was the best option for Mila to work for me. She has a knack for running into trouble, besides I doubt any other man has the level of self-control I have when it comes to her, I canât just leave her to work for some other person, not when she was carrying my child. I was her best bet. I went over to the kitchen for my morning coffee. Mila was having toast and coffee. She was all dressed up in work clothes. She and Alberta were deep in conversation that they hadnât noticed my presence, I used the opportunity to allow my eyes to roam freely over Mila. She was dressed in a knee-length pencil skirt that had a slit in front that exposed a bit of h
Milaâs POVâŚZadenâs rejection last night stung more than I cared to admit. What did I expect when trying to kiss him? Of course, he wasnât going to welcome it. I blamed myself for reading the meaning into his kiss the day before. I pushed every thought of Zaden from my mind for the rest of the day. My agent had scheduled my meeting with the landlord at one of the properties that caught my eye last night. I just hoped it was within my budget, the building was situated in a really busy place, and the location suited my description. I studied the building in front of me from the large glass in front that showed a complete display of the whole restaurant, to the old painting. If the place eventually fit into my budget, I was still going to spend a sh*t ton of money on renovation. A sigh escaped my lips and my chest tightened at the thought. Zaden had to speed up his investigation; I needed access to my account to see my plans for opening the Cafe.âYou must be Miss Grayson,â a young m
