After Reed left, Mia fell asleep with difficulty. But soon she began to dream about the dead men again. She dreamed that she is back in the basement again. This time there are more snakes and scorpions along with rodents crawling over her body. The four dead men tried to touch her like how they tried before she killed them. She searched for the gun to kill them again, but this time she didn't find anything. She clawed, she kicked and she struggled to escape, but in vain. 'President wants us to keep her alive. Don't be too rough with her. Make sure she stays alive ' she heard the same words which were spoken from the basement entrance on the day when she was taken. Luckily she snatched a gun from one of the guys that day and killed them all. But this time she didn't find any weapon to protect herself. The men came at her and unintentionally she cried for Reed who protected her the first time. Reed is a light sleeper. The room he is staying in is the one which is right beside Mia's
Mia woke early the next morning and is relieved to see that Reed is nowhere to be found. "I should kill that asshole. If I could kill four grown men, then I can kill him too" she muttered angrily.She could smell his cologne all over her body, which irritated her. She took a bath and dressed up in blue denim shorts and a sleeveless white top. She left her wet hair down to let them air dry. She went downstairs and saw her father sipping his morning coffee while reading the news on his tab. What she didn't realise is that she woke up refreshed after a full night's sleep, and the face of those four men is not the first thing that popped into her mind. Instead, her anger on Reed overrode all the other bad memories. "Morning dad" Mia greeted Luca and kissed him on his cheek.Luca is pleasantly surprised to see Mia smiling after one week of misery. 'Hmm, does her cheerful mood has any relation to Reed staying the night? ' he wondered. His decision to send Mia back to the city with Reed
She wanted to punch him like last night, but she remembered what he did and refrained from doing so. Unable to do anything, she laid her head and accepted the comfort from the man who is the reason why she is crying.After a while, she calmed down from her embarrassment. She pulled away from him and stood up to her feet. She wanted to go as far away from him as possible. So she walked towards the door and opened it, only to find a maid standing outside holding the breakfast tray in her hands. For some reason, Mia doesn't want the maid to find out that Reed is inside her room."Miss, you missed your breakfast" the maid said.Mia gave the maid a small smile."Oh, yes. Thank you. I will take it from here" she mumbled and accepted the tray before closing the door.Mia sighed. She turned and glared at Reed who is now sitting on the bed while resting his hands behind his back."Get out" she snapped angrily.He gave a pointed look at the breakfast."Eat it" he commanded, making her grit her
Mia made it a point to express her displeasure during the entire flight to New York. She didn't speak with anyone, most importantly she ignored Reed. Now even after reaching their destination, she is cooped in her room and refuses to explore her new surroundings. Reed showed her room as soon as she walked inside his penthouse. She walked inside her room and banged the door shut so that he would be irritated. She doesn't want to come here, and she is huffing and puffing at everything.Now the day has come to an end and she is still sulking inside her room. She skipped her lunch and dinner. She thought he would come to feed her, but the house is dead quiet, as if she is the only resident inside it.'Where did he disappear to? Didn't he supposed to take care of his guest? Shouldn't he make sure that her stay is as comfortable and she is well fed? He is being mean ' she thought to herself.She knows she is not making any sense. It's she who is avoiding him the entire day, and now she is
The next morning, Mia woke up surrounded by warmth. The feeling of being safe washed over her, making her snuggle deeper into the warmth, seeking more safety, especially after her recent experiences. "Stop wiggling" Reed muttered. She is sleeping almost on top of him. One of her thighs is between his and her breasts are squished with his. When she is wiggling like a cat, her hard nipples are innocently rubbing over his torso, making him hard. When Mia heard his voice, her eyes snapped open and she came face to face with none other than Reed. Her head is resting on his naked torso, while she is snaking her arms around him like he is her favourite soft toy. "What are you doing in my room?" She asked with alarm and swiftly pushed away from him. Reed was already expecting this question. So he carried her to his room after he woke up this morning. "Well princess, I should be the one who is asking that question" he pointed out. Mia looked around the room which has black drapes, black
"Good Morning Doctor Mia""Morning doctor"Mia smiled at her colleagues who greeted her and she greeted them back. She is feeling good to come back again. "Doctor Mia" Susanne cried with excitement.Mia grinned at the head nurse who is her assistant as well."Hey, nurse Sushi" Mia teased the head nurse with a teasing grin.Susanne playfully rolled her eyes. When Mia and Susanne went to have lunch one fine afternoon, Mia noticed that Susanna loves Sushi. She loves the cuisine so much that she could eat it in her every meal and every day. From that day onwards Mia gave her a nickname over her favourite dish.Susanna is holding a file and began to walk with Mia."How was the honeymoon?" She asked mischievously while wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.Mia became stiff and pale at that question. The memories of her captivity threatened to break her composure. But she did not let it show on her face. She already knows she has to answer these questions because everyone knows when her wedd
In the downtown, there is a huge 43-storey building with glass walls. It is so tall and intimidating. As the sun's rays are falling on the outer glass walls, the reflecting rays are giving an illusion that the building is blazing in silent fire. The name 'Carter's construction ' is written in bold letters outside the building.On the fortieth floor of that building is where Reed Carter's office is."Is she alright?" he asked Matteo, who works as his assistant in his legal company apart from being his underboss in his illegal company.Matteo doesn't have to ask about whom his boss is talking about. 'I cannot understand my boss's unhealthy obsession towards Miss Vitello. She hates his guts and he wants intel about everything she does. I don't know what he wants to do ' he thought to himself, but wouldn't dare to voice it out loud. He knows his boss would punish him for that."Are you sleeping, Matteo?" Reed snapped when his assistant did not reply to his query right away.Matteo snappe
Reed dialed Susanna who is a coworker of Mia in the hospital. He learned what happened from the head nurse."She became pale all of a sudden and ran away from there. I am so worried about Doctor Mia. Is she alright?" Susanna asked with concern.Reed doesn't want to indulge in small talk. But he knows he has to make it look like Mia is not well to evade suspicion."She is fine now. You know after everything that happened with her, she is a little disturbed" he said vaguely and covered up for Mia.Susanna nodded sadly."Yes, poor thing. Please take care of her" she requested."Sure" Reed replied before disconnecting the call.Matteo is waiting for his boss to tell him where to go."Go to her apartment" Reed instructed.Matteo frowned.'What is wrong with him? She is missing and now he wants to go to her apartment? What does he think he would find there? ' he wondered inside his head."If you are done talking in your head, then i suggest you start the car right away" Reed snapped impatie
