Find out more in this gripping billionaire story of Mia's ordeal.
もっと見るLiam was losing his patience as time went by. He didn’t plan on coming to meet Mia and threaten her like that in the female toilet. But it seemed to be that his plan was working after all. She was now looking at him with fear in her eyes. He was already planning on going to meet up with a wedding planner since Mia was going to give birth soon. He was already planning on using everything that he could to get married to her. Whether she wanted or not, he was definitely going to take that child and get his hands on the inheritance that was solely his. Shaw was looking around, wondering where Mia was. “She couldn’t have probably run away because she didn’t want to dance with me, could she?” he thought to himself. The coordinator and the host were already arranging the dancefloor for the people that were auctioned. He decided to hold on, since there was no sign of her. Or maybe she was just taking a long time in the bathroom. He went outside and tried calling her, but she refused to answ
The usher helped her stand up, with her hands firmly on Mia’s lower back as she led her to the back room, where other rich women were standing, adjusting their makeup, and complimenting each other on their perfumes. She knew that there was no need of saying a thing to those women. Mia knew she would never fit in.She stood at a corner of the room, waiting to be called to the front. The usher came into the room again, attaching numbers to the clips of their dresses. Mia was number 17. It was boldly clipped to the front of her expensive dress. She swallowed hard, knowing that she could help donating a whole lot of money to a group of children that she didn’t even know. She was mulling over getting another job. She knew how much her sister needed money, but she didn’t know if Shaw was going to be okay with that.She was barely even aware that the auction had already started.“And now, we call on Lady M, Number 17.” Everything was muffled in her head. Somebody had to tap her for her real
Mia’s heart was in her mouth as Liam’s smirk increased. She watched as he took a huge gulp of his drink and duped the glass cup on one of the tables close by.“We can leave if you don’t want to meet him,” Shaw said, looking down at her with an expression that she couldn’t quite place. She tipped her chin. The last thing she needed was the help of a murder accomplice. “I can obviously handle things myself,” she said in a tense voice before adding “Sir” as if that would soften the effects of her words. Shaw on his own part couldn’t help but wonder what was up with the new attitude that she was giving to him. There was nothing more that he wanted to do for her than to help. And he just needed to hear one thing from her. The one thing that she wasn’t willing to spill just yet. He took a step away from her, glad that the media had already captured everything that he wanted them to. He didn’t miss the way Mia flinched. “What does she want then?” he found himself asking. His hands were ba
“You look stunning,” Grace said. She was on her day off and Mia couldn’t help but be happy about it. she needed her best friend to give her the confidence she needed. She felt weird in such an expensive dress. And she was going to be in the midst of popular people once more. She couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Thank you,” Mia said, as she stood up, admiring how the dress kissed her curves, leaving her flawless back for show, before tightening at the lower end. She had also found the black heels that he had gotten for her. She quickly tied the straps around her ankles as Grace helped her tie her hair in a high pony tail, displaying her baby eyes. Her makeup gave dark feminine vibe and she couldn’t help but love it.“Shaw would be speechless,” Grace said, smiling to herself. “He bought the dress anyway,” Mia said, shrugging. She couldn’t help but wonder how he always knew what her size was. Even her shoe size. He never got it wrong and disappointed her for once.They heard a car honk
Mia took a deep breath as she found a place to park her car right in front of the company. She had been gripping the stirring wheel the whole time. Her knuckles had turned white. She quickly wrung them together and looked at her face through the rear view mirror. If she was going to find out the truth and deal with Shaw just the way she wanted, she had to behave normal. Just that she didn’t know how to do that anymore. She was expecting her baby. She knew that it wouldn’t be long before she started showing. How long was she going to hide? How long was she going to keep the fact that Shaw might actually be the father of the baby?“Grace would have known what to do,” she whispered to herself. She smoothened her hands over her dress before walking right into the office. She had a fake smile plastered on her face as she knocked on the door to Shaw’s office. The office was half open, so she saw how his pupils darkened across the room, his eyes running though her body. She felt her toes cu
The soft glow of Mia’s desk lamp cast long, flickering shadows across her room. It was late, well past midnight, but sleep was a luxury she could no longer afford. The muted hum of her laptop filled the quiet space as she leaned over it, her eyes darting across the screen, her mind sharpening with every discovery. The past few days had been an exhausting whirlwind of revelations, each one more shocking than the last. Yet, despite the weight of it all, an unrelenting energy coursed through her veins. She was close—closer than ever to unraveling the truth.A nearly empty coffee mug sat precariously close to the edge of the desk, a testament to her sleepless nights. Stacks of papers, hastily scribbled notes, and highlighted printouts surrounded her. This was her war zone, and she was determined to win.Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, pausing as she opened yet another file from Ahmed’s seemingly endless cache of emails. Each message was like a puzzle piece, and she was piecing them
Once again as usual, evening moonlight seeped through the thin curtains of Mia’s small apartment as she unpacked the last of her bag from her visit to Anna. The short time with her sister had been a much-needed reprieve, but it also left her feeling uneasy. Anna’s probing questions about her work, her growing involvement with Shaw, and her parents’ deaths only made Mia’s internal turmoil worse.By the time she closed her suitcase and stuffed it under her bed, she felt no more clarity than she had when she’d left. Sighing, Mia glanced at the clock. It was late, and she would need to wake up early for work. Shaw would surely want updates on the project, and with everything happening lately, she needed to be sharp.The next morning, Mia’s alarm blared, jolting her out of a restless sleep. She rubbed her eyes and pulled herself out of bed, dragging her feet to the bathroom. As the warm shower water ran over her skin, she tried to prepare herself for the day ahead.Her reflection in the mi
Mia woke to the gentle hum of her alarm,the final day before she resumed work, the light of dawn passing through the gaps in her curtains. She stretched languidly, her muscles protesting after a long night of restless sleep. With a sigh, she swung her legs off the bed and padded to the bathroom, her bare feet sinking slightly into the rug.Standing before the mirror, she looked at her reflection. Her eyes looked tired, a faint shadow of exhaustion beneath them. She grabbed her toothbrush, spreading on some minty toothpaste, and began brushing. The rhythmic back-and-forth motion was both calming and mechanical, allowing her mind to drift. The cool, refreshing taste of mint woke her senses, helping her feel more alert.After rinsing her mouth, she stepped into the shower. The water was warm, cascading over her like a gentle waterfall, washing away the fatigue and tension from her body. She lathered her skin with fragrant soap, the scent of lavender filling the air and soothing her nerve
The boardroom was abuzz with the hum of tense negotiations as Ahmed sat at the head of the long table, his dark eyes scanning the faces of the executives before him. His posture was commanding, and the suit he wore fit perfectly, as always. He was in control. A seasoned businessman, no longer the young man he used to be, but with the same hunger and ambition that had gotten him this far.Today, he was finalizing a merger with one of the most prominent companies in the industry. It was a deal that would secure his dominance for years to come, but as he listened to the presentation in front of him, his mind wandered.His thoughts drifted back to a time long ago, before the suit, before the deals, before he became the man he was now. Back to a time when the world felt smaller, when he was just a young man trying to prove himself.Flashback:Ahmed was barely twenty-one when he first understood the power of money. His family’s wealth had always been a background hum in his life—his father’
Mia wakes up in the night to find out Liam is not in the room. His side of the bed was empty, "Liam?" She called out, but when she got no answer, she got out of the bedroom and saw him sitting on the couch in the living room."Happy birthday darling". Mia said and closed up the distance between them to hug and kiss him. But Liam ignored her."What is it?”Did I do something wrong? "Nothing, just thinking about my inheritance." Today is my 28th birthday. I'm scared the company might not be handed over to me. My grandfather is a weird old man. I don't want to lose this opportunity of a lifetime.Mia sat beside him immediately, smiling as she placed her head on his shoulder.“ Don't think too much, darling; you are the only legitimate grandchild he has and the direct heir to inheriting the company.” I believe in you. Mia encouraged him.Liam let out a deep breath and turned to her, his eyes twinkling with enthusiasm, "Do you know what that means? Mia, if I win this, our lives will change
