"Try to understand Mia. What if i try to hurt you again?" he asked trying to convey to her why he doesn't want her to stay near him.Mia looked at him intently. She understood why he is not willing to let her stay here. He is worried about her and is not trusting himself around her anymore. What he is not realizing is that his guilt about what happened is so strong that it will never allow him to hurt her. A mischievous glint entered her eyes."You know what, if you want to see me naked again, then this time you ask me. I can give you a show" she whispered with a wink.Reed groaned at her words. He is not at all find her words funny. "You are not understanding what you are talking about. Who will give an offer like this to the man who tried to force her?" he muttered.She snorted."What do you want me to do then? I am still a virgin at twenty-five. I do have some needs you know" she muttered and pulled away from him before laying back on the bed with a sigh.She dated a few men in th
In Texas, Reed got himself a job as one of the workers on a Ranch named Joe's Ranch. This is the place that is right beside the mansion Bowman owns. Matteo feels like they should kill Samuel Bowman and be done with it. But Reed wanted to make Samuel Bowman suffer as much as he made Reed's parents suffer. So he gathered everything that is to know about Bowman and the businesses he owns. Reed digs into Bowman's past to gather proof about his involvement in the death of the late Willaim Carter and his wife. Now he made his men install cameras all around Bowman's property to keep a constant eye on Bowman. Now all he wanted to know is Bowman's bank passwords so that he can scam all of his money and bring him onto the streets, just like how Bowman did back then. First Reed wanted to kill the reputation Bowman owned in this small town where everything he says goes and no one dares to go against him. Here he is a well-reputed businessman who does so many charity works for the well-being of t
Reed and Matteo began to work on the ranch like the other employees there. They got the hang of the work easily, but Matteo is not so pleased. The work on the ranch is more physically exhausting. But Reed liked the work. Joe brought them their lunch on his horse, while they were to go back to the main house for dinner. Taking the horses and cows for grazing, and cleaning their sheds apart from training the horses is the work on the ranch. But Reed is hired to train horses to listen to simple commands. As he likes horse riding and horses, the work is not much difficult for Reed. But Matteo is struggling to clean their sheds. On the other hand, Mia learned some simple dicing of the vegetables and to cook spaghetti and meatballs, which they cooked for dinner. "Hmm, this smells yummy" Mia commented. Jane and Sabrina smiled at her enthusiasm. Jane is so nice and she accepted Mia's request when she asked the elder woman if she could cook under Jane's guidance. Jane instructed Mia to do e
Inside the Bowman's mansion, the security is heavy. But a black figure is tripping all of their security systems with an expertise which will be make the highly experienced security officials bewildered and doubt their own talent and vigilance. Reed Carter did not simply make everyone fear his name. He has the talent to match. He makes even the toughest things look easy and work on them seamlessly. "Boss, two security guards coming your way. And there is another one behind you" Matteo cautioned Reed through the blue tooth device Reed is wearing in one ear. Reed is in a corridor where there is not much scope for hiding or escaping. He used his upper body strength to jump and catch the deer head showpiece hanging to one of the walls. He walked up the wall and became still, easily blending I'm the shadows of the dimly lit corridor. The dear head is not strong enough to hold his weight. If it gives in, he will be forced to kill the three bodyguards. That would make Samuel Bowman suspic
In Joe's Ranch, Mia walked inside the cottage she is sharing with Reed. She found Matteo sitting there while seriously looking into the computer. She noticed that he is watching surveillance footage of a house. On close observation, she saw the big mansion which is sitting beside Joe's ranch on one of the screens.'Oh, so Reed came to here because of the man who is living in that Mansion? Is he the same person for whom Reed is searching for? Didn't he mention that he was in Texas the last time when he disappeared for two days? Who is this man? ' she wondered. But she didn't ask Matteo about anything. Like always, she pretended as if she didn't see anything.The cottage they were given is small with only two rooms. A small living room where Matteo is working, and a small bedroom with an old bed which is just good enough to fit two people side by side. Mia walked inside the bedroom and softly closed the door after her. She picked up one of Reed's shirts from the suitcase and locked hers
The next day Reed woke up to an empty bed, which he didn't like. He always wakes up with Mia snuggling beside him. Her soft feminine body always reminds him that he has someone more important to him now than himself. More often lately than ever. He checked the small cottage and did not find her anywhere. "Where is she?" he wondered out loud. He walked out of the cottage wearing only his pants. It's early in the morning and the sun is just rising in the east. Usually, he wakes up early, but of late he is preferring to sleep a little longer because of the woman with whom he shares his bed. He noticed Joe's daughter speaking with a girl. He ignored them and looked around for Mia, who is nowhere to be found. He spotted Matteo who is just coming out of the adjacent cottage. "Matteo" he called his underboss, attracting the attention of the two women in the process. He was not at all paying them any attention. He is worried about Mia. Matteo looked at his Boss who is looking a little w
When Reed is about to leave, she saw the better around his neck. Mia's eyes became bright with mischief."Reed" she called him.He stopped and turned his head to look at her."What?" he asked when he saw the twinkling in her eyes. He knows she is going to do something mischievous.Mia dipped her finger in the batter and rubbed it all over her lips and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Reed laughed with mirth when he understood her meaning. Just like he licked the batter off her cheek, she wants him to lick this too. He wouldn't have done that if his heart is not so full of some kind of unknown emotion for her. This new feeling is demanding him to be close to her always. He doesn't deserve her kindness, but damn if he let her go. He is going to keep her in his life in whatever role he can. He is ready to become her bodyguard if that means he can stay close to her.He walked closer to her, erasing the little distance that separates them. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist and
"You take a nap for a while. I am going to the town to help Joe pick up some stuff. Matteo will be close by and call him if you need anything. I will be back by lunchtime" he told Mia.Her shoulders sagged with disappointment."This is just a small blister. Why do I need to take a nap?" she complained.Reed was in the process of buttoning his shirt when she asked that. He paused in what he was doing and gave her a look."You are weak and the doctor advised you to rest well. Moreover, last night you slept late and woke up early. Now stop behaving like a kid and rest" he pointed out. His words made Mia upset. She doesn't want to rest. She wanted to go with Bianca and Sabrina and look around the town. Reed finished buttoning his shirt and looked at her pouting, he sighed."Princess, you cannot help Mrs Jane in the kitchen with a blister like that. Then why are you so against what I asked you to do?" he asked patiently."I want to go and take a look around town" she muttered still poutin
