Mia’s pov My heart had stopped functioning in that momrnt as I watched the man fell back, eyes rolled into his head and mouth parted as blood looked around him. At this point, the party had stopped as well, everyone had witnessed as Lorenzo had shot someone because they had tried to have their way with me.When Lorenzo glanced at me, I felt a sob bubble in my throat, beart constricting with so many feelings at once as he approached me. Once he was close enough, I flew into his arms, uncaring that he had just killed someone right now, all that mattered right now was that he was present and then since he was, nothing could happen to me, because I’d always be safe.It felt like he was saying those exact words to me right now even though he was silent, but his hands were doing the talking just fine as it stroked my hair and held me close to him. I knew that what he had just done could have consequences, but I wasn’t sure he cared about that right now, especially as he spoke next.
Molly’s pov ‘Gonzales encounters immense downfall, one could almost say that he fell from Grace to grass’.The journalist speaking in the tv spoke up right before a picture of my father got displayed. I felt my heartbeat sped up as I sat up straighter, watching as slides of my father getting arrested for questioning got shown. I bit on my lips as I switched the channel, but the next one was also giving news about my father, explaining that his new worth had now dropped drastically and that the company he’s running has now been seized due to it being a collectoral.It felt like a joke how everything was now falling for him. After poundering on the matter for a while, I kind of figured out who was behind it. It was Lorenzo, of course. It just has to be.I had been expecting him to strike for a while now because he was still gonna undoubtedly get his revenge on the murderer of his parents no matter what: this has even taken way longer than I had expected.As I read through a bl
Mia’s pov A slap landing across my cheek was when I felt right from the back of my mind before a gasp flew out from my mouth as my eyes flew open. As I blinked a bunch of times to get the dark spots out of my eyes, it didn’t take more than a few seconds for everything that had happened to hit me right in the face.When it did, another gasp tore past my throat as I blinked at Aisha, the person I had genuinely thought was a friend of mine. Her brother was sitting in the far end of the room, and two other people were standing beside him, they were all staring down at something. When I glanced back at Aisha, she had a brow arched at me.“Still speechless? Still in shock?” She crooned before letting out a laugh, one which made me flinch. That alerted her brother and the guys bent around him before he glanced in our direction the next moment.“Sleeping beauty has finally risen.” He mused before letting out a small laugh. I shook my head to try cleerly out the woodsy feeling, it felt like I
Mia’s pov Lorenzo ordered his men to look through the location, clearly searching for me and my kidnappers and after nothing was found. Aisha was standing beside me and after a little while, she let out a long sigh and glanced down at me.“Isht he so damn good looking?! Even though a cctv?” She asked with a dreamy sigh but I remained silent while wishing i could get free right now just so I could dig my fingers into her eyes and pull out her eyes from her sockets. When I glanced back at the large screen, he was scrolling through his phone.“He’s gonna call the number we used in sending him a text, because now he’s undoubtedly more worried about you. Remember when you said he didn’t love you and that it wouldn't work? Do you think it wouldnt work out now?” She asked but before I could even respond, she was cracking to herself and walking away from me.Moments later, the sound of a phone ringing startled me. It was the phone which was used to text Lorenzo, it was put on loud speaker.“
Mia’s pov A startled gasp flew out my mouth and when I glanced at Aisha, I realized that she had gasped as well. Her eyes were wide as saucers and her hand was over her mouth as she regarded her brother who looked like he was frozen in the same spot, phone still gripped tightly in his hand.Lorenzo had asked him to come outside.That could only mean one thing, that he was right here in this location.But, how?Aisha’s brother was yet to send him an address of this location, so how? When I glanced up at Aisha and her siblings, they still seemed to be frozen in spot.“Do you really think he’s outside?” Aisha whispered in horror and I watched as her brother swallowed emptily. He whipped out a second phone and dailed a number, phone pressed against his ear while Aisha began to pace once again. It was something she clearly usually do whenever she was worked up.“No answer.” Aisha’s brother declared, forcing Aisha to stop pacing.“Who were you calling?” She asked.“The guards I had p
Mia’s pov It’s been a couple of days since I got kidnapped by people who I trusted and believed were my friends. Thinking about that incident, how it had all played out, still makes me get shivers. It made me wonder what would have happened to me if poison had been in thzt drink and not sleeping medicine.I glanced through my phone, eyes drifting to the last text my mother sent me. I had thankfully been able to get my phone back, thanks to my guards who Lorenzo didn’t end up firing like he told me he was going to at first, but ended up changing his mind after I convinced him not to change them because I was just starting to get comfortable around them.I felt a space in my chest, one that was hollow and in need of filling. The urge to visit my mother had been on my mind for a while now, but after I got abducted and released, I bag wanted to visit her so bad because thr fear of dying without getting to spend time with her left a very bitter taste on my tongue.Lorenzo was out sin
Mia’s pov. My forkful of sticky rice got frozen mid air as soon as father’s next words echoed around the dining table.“One of you is getting married to Mr. Romero the Third of the Romero family, an underboss of the mafia in a few days.” His voice was void of any kind of emotions as usual, but the authority behind those words wasn’t absent. I glanced up at my identical twin, Maeve, who was sitting directly before me at the table, she had her knife frozen in the air while her mouth was parted in nothing but shock. I slowly placed my fork on my plate, feeling my hands tremble a little as I dragged in a deep breath and glanced at the head of the table where father was seated at. He has carried on eating like what he had just said wasn’t something heart shattering in the slightest way.My heart was thudding hard against my ribs as I glanced at mother whose lips were quivering as she made to speak. I beat her to it, knowing that I was automatically crossing a line this way.“Which one
Mia’s pov Later that night, after Maeve had quieten down, we had all headed upstairs, leaving the mess for the maids to take care of, and I was glad that none of those broken plates managed to hurt Maeve.As we prepared for bed that night, brushing out teeths alongside each other in the bathroom we both shared, was when I began to feel the changes. I tried to push that nagging feeling aside, coming to the conclusion that she was probably seeming emotionless because of all what she had gone through tonight.I hugged her tightly that night and reminded her of how much I loved her before retiring to my bedroom, and even through she had hugged me back just as tightly, I still had that nagging feeling of something being off about her.That feeling only got more intense the next morning, that was when it was obvious that Maeve had turned into a complete different person overnight. Her smile was nowhere to be found, the light in her eyes was completely out and a dull pain lingered in it
