"I need to..." I try to explain, but honestly I just needed to put some space between me and Mia. "I am just going to make a call." I hold up my hand in a manner of keeping her from getting of the bed and nearing me. I remove my phone from my dress shirt's pocket with my other hand keeping my eyes on a pissed and moody Mia who sits glaring at me through her long lashes. God, even in her condition she was beautiful. I scroll through the conatcts on my phone in search for Sofia's number and once her name appears i press down on the call icon and place the phone to my ear. The lines rings to no avail. i needed her to see Mia, why was she not answering the phone? Itold her that she needed to be here when Mia comes. "Fuck." I blurt out a little too hard making Mia's body jerk in reaction. She was so jumpy and it scared me. The mere thought of the trauma she must have adhered to scares me. Was she ever going to be my Mia again? "She is probably with Angela." Mia frowns moving her eyes from

After Sophia did a thorough inspection of Mia who perceptibly insisted on taken a shower first, confirmed that she was only a little dehydrated and gave her a sleeping tablet for apprehension and some ibuprofen to minimize the pain in her ribs where some bruises were still visible, which of course Mia insisted was not painful at all, but flinched a little when touched. Luckily she didn't have any severe or lasting damage, and no one drugged or raped her and to hear her say those words to Sophia was a blessing to my ears, but I was still intending on killing everyone that manhandled, slugged, and bruised her. They all are going to pay."How is Angela?" Mia asks concerned while Sophia writes down the prescription resulting in a quick pause. Something wasn’t right."There wasn’t much we could do." Sophia tilts her head as she upsurges her eyes to Mia. “She bled out before we were able to find the source of where she was bleeding. I am sorry honey." Sophia takes the piece of paper she jus

"What is all this?" Mia inquire very curious about what I obtained from the grocery store, glancing into the bag as I place it on the small kitchen counter next to the old stove. "I told you I was going to get us some food didn't I?" I swat away her hand from the bag that she tries to open. She was so inquisitive as always, but she seemed different, better. "I know." She removes her hand from the bag for a moment just to attempt at it again using the other hand this time. "I just thought that you were going to bring us Burgers or chips or something." She shrugs pulling out the bottle of extra virgin cooking oil which I remove from her hand and place on the counter. "Not fresh ingredients." She really does sound surprised as she tangles the diminutive bag of garlic cloves in the air. "Give me that." I once more remove the item from her hand placing it next to the oil. "Take this one." I shove the other bag towards her to empty it. "What is this?" A huge smile spread over her lovely

"Who the fuck are you?" The small figured man with his dirty blonde hair cut into a boyband type of style tries to act tough even though he is bound to a chair in the middle of a storage unit on the outer part of the resort where no guests are allowed and no one would hear him scream when I start to strip away his life tissue by tissue. "You don't know who you are messing with." He continues to threaten me and Achille as we stood to the side waiting for Achilles's new companion to bring the piece of scum that actually pulled the trigger that launched the bullet into Angela. "100 Dollars he screeches first." Achilles chuckles trying to make a bet that would ensure he wins. Of course, he will start talking first. He isn't a part of this long enough to comprehend what he got himself into. He will take the easiest way out, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to have fun first."Too easy..." I shake my head. "100 Dollars says I can make him yell like a little bitch even before firs

"Thank you for doing this." Mia round the corner of the kitchen entrance with an empty glass in her hand, she scan across the room, she was referring to me cleaning the kitchen. "Join me." I invite her to sit on the opposite side of the table from where I was sitting, appreciating a well-deserved espresso while scrolling through the emails on my phone, but I quickly exit placing the phone face down on the table to be able to give all my attention to Mia. I needed to have a very important conversation with her and I am afraid if she stood or sat, for that matter, too close to me I will easily be distracted and we needed to have a lightheaded and serious discussion of what we were doing and what we wanted from each other. "I expected that much." She grins planting her little ass down on the wooden chair on the other side of the table and placing the glass next to a second bottle of wine and although I would much rather not open the bottle I go against my own desire and pick it up to d

"Damian." Mia breathe looking at me from under her lashes as she opens the white-laced box on the foot and end of the bed. "This is gorgeous." She holds up the emerald-colored designer dress in front of her inspecting every detail, her eyes that match the dress so generously tell me that she loves it. "This must have cost a fortune." She gently hugs it to her body mouthing a silent 'thank you' my way. "Of course." I admire her expectations for the little things. "There is one more thing." I tread carefully knowing that we had this conversation once before and it didn't go down as easily as I have hoped. I hand her a small package containing a new cellphone and the look in her gaze immediately changes."We spoke about this." She warns."I know, but before you decline. I spoke to your dad and he agrees that this phone might be a better choice for you.""Damian." She grits through her teeth. "I need you to stop buying me things, please! I am not your kid or some poor helpless girl in nee

"Antonio." I greet the man responsible for the completion of the hotel. "You have outdone yourself." I compliment him shaking his hand the process. "Thank you, Ben. It was no without its own challenges." He reminds me. "Oh... I know." I chuckle. "Miss Mia." He divert his attention to my beautiful guest that is accompanying me. "You look lovely." He compliments her kissing past both her cheeks. "You can call me Mia." She blushes a little. "This place looks amazing. You really did an amazing job." Her eyes scroll over the white sparkling tiles where the last time blood spills stained them. "Thank you, Mia." He nods appreciating her kind words. "They are waiting for you to cut the ribbon outside." He reminds me of the little tradition that goes back decades. "I will join my parents, while you do your thing." Mia pulls out her arm from mine, but I was faster and promptly grab onto her arm lugging her closer and then cape my arm around her lower back. "Oh no..." I gently place my
