LOGINMila's pov..The air sizzled with tension."What are you talking about?â I tried to mask the quake in my voice as I stared hard at Zaden for help, rescue, anything at all.âYou are both faking; pretending to be alright when everything's not⌠clearly.â She gestured to my belly.I raised my brows still confused about what was going on.Zaden is secretive, but Mila, darling, even if I don't know you much. I don't expect to participate with Zaden in such an act.âI am sorry I lied to youâŚâ Zaden cleared his throat, interrupting me.âWhat exactly are you talking about?â He asked his grandmother, still feigning ignorance, like he wasn't bothered at all.Mrs Blackwell let out a sigh, as she came closer to me, she took my hands in hers, âI know about your pregnancy being a high-risk one.ââPhew.â I let out a cool breath instantly calming my heaving chest. I almost gave myself up.âYou both should have told me from the start.â Her eyes were glossy as she fixed her gaze on me.The poor woman wa
Zaden's POVâŚâWhere the f*ck was she?âI ran my hand through my hair as I cracked my brain for possible locations.Beads of sweat trickled down my face even though the air conditioner was blasting cold.Her phone was currently being tracked, but was taking quite some time to pinpoint her exact location because it was switched off.Nine whole hours had passed and she still wasn't back.I tried calling her phone again even though I knew it would say the same thing it has been saying.Voice mail. I threw the phone against the wall, causing it to shatter.I grabbed my car keys to begin a physical search.Then the door clicked softly revealing a drenched Mila from head to toe.She was wet and shivering from the cold. I didn't even realize it had started raining as I was so engrossed with tracking her location.âMy God. Mila!â I half glided across the room, taking her in my arms, transferring some of my body heat to hers.She buried her face in my chest, and I lifted her chin, causing her e
Milaâs POVâŚStanding in front of the Grayson mansion in oversized pants and a baggy tee was definitely not how I thought I would face my father after our last meeting. I gripped the hem of my shirt tighter, it was so big that it reached all the way to my knees, swallowing me whole. What was I thinking, leaving the restaurant this way? I should have at least gotten dressed.I thought to myself as I stood in front of the large mansion gates to the house I grew up in.I pushed every thought of Zaden away. Though something deep lingered within my chest, probably guilt from how I left the restaurant abruptly.There's no reason to feel guilty. We're not dating and he's not entitled to know my movements. We both needed that reminder, and it was high time we stuck to the boundaries we had set.I didn't know why I was pissed at Zaden, after all he was fulfilling his end of the contract by showing me.I switched my phone off because I knew once he noticed I was gone, he would be buzzing my
Zaden's povâŚI sat on the sofa watching her sleep. She was finally resting after spending the whole night crying in my arms.I held on to her all night like I could mend the broken pieces of her heart together. I was used to betrayal and pain, but not Mila. I wasn't surprised when Alex confirmed she was framed by her sister, but my heart ached for her all the more. Every day I spent with her, I didn't recognize myself anymore. We spent most of the night worshipping ourselves orgasm after orgasm.I was silently grateful for Alex's call, interrupting us; otherwise, we would have crossed the line. Rays of sunlight rested on her back while her flowing hair waves covered her face completely. She looked like a goddess entangled in my sheets. Oh, what I would do to wake her up and take her in different positions without a care in the worldâŚthe f*cking contract be dammed. But including sex in our arrangement will only make things hard and complicated especially after our contract per
Milaâs POVâŚAt first, the kiss started light, but something in both of us snapped, and then it grew hungry.We kissed frantically holding on to each other like we were each other's last breath.His hand grasped my face, with his thumb tilting my chin to kiss him deeper. A soft moan climbed up my throat as both our tongues rolled in perfect harmony.He tasted like alcohol and sin. I felt high from our kiss alone.He supported me with his free hand steadying me, while the other roamed and traced the curve of my body. The way he kissed was madness, it felt like being devoured and savoured at the same time. I heard nothing but the wild beating of my own heart in my ears, maybe his too.âI need you,â I whispered in his ear between kisses.I gripped his hair tighter, pulling him closer. A groan reverberated from his chest, and his hands dug deep into my hips.The sound of his groan spread a warmth across my chest, he was enjoying this as much as I was.Nothing ever felt so right, yet so
Zaden's POV⌠I took out my frustration on the bean bag, punching it until its contents burst on the floor. My knuckles dripped with blood, but I couldn't feel the pain. It was nothing compared to the deep pain settled in my chest when I saw Mila wince as the doctor examined her. She had a second panic attack because of me. I gripped my knuckles around the glass tighter, with my blood dripping all the way down to my elbow. I allowed the smoke of my cigar to envelop me as I stood in my man cave, not so far from the room where Mila lay asleep. I hadnât smoked in a while, because of Mila and the Baby I decided to quit. But watching Mila wince in pain was absolute torture.I probably wasn't pained at the mere fact that she was hurt, it was a reminder that I failed her. I never fail when it comes to anything or anyone. I had been so distracted with my thoughts centered around her.That night at the hotel didn't cross my mind as a deliberate action by someone.I never treated anyth
