"Ahh..."Mia jumped with anxiety when the tsunami struck the coast taking away so many people along with it.Reed gave her a lazy look. They are in his home theatre watching a movie about how Tsunami stuck on an island and how many people survived it. He doesn't like to watch movies. But she insisted upon it, so here he is. Sitting right beside her and watching her more than he is watching the screen.Thankfully the movie came to an end."Amazing, isn't it Reed?" She asked him excitedly.He gave her a nod. He didn't see the movie at all. He was working on his mobile when he was not looking at her. She is still wearing his shirt, which barely reaches her upper thighs. Her long-toned legs are on display, distracting him continuously.That's when his mobile rang. It's Nero."Hello Nero" he greeted his friend.Nero has seen the video which popped up just a moment before it was taken down. He doesn't have to think about who must have done it. "Hey man, what happened to Mia?" he asked dir
Two days has passed, but still no sign of Reed. Mia tried not think about him, but she failed miserably. She began to feel that he is avoiding her intentionally. "I didn't kiss him, but it's the other way round. If he wanted to avoid me after kissing me, then i would have been happy not knowing how good his kiss felt. How can i miss that cold as*hole who doesn't care that i am alone here? Why should he care about me anyway? He is just my brother's best friend, not mine" she muttered to herself feeling bitter and sad. She became used to him. Sleep became difficult without him beside her. As if her nigtmares have foundout that he is not around, they began to haunt her nights, giving her little rest. She simply miss having him around. She miss being fed by him, and miss sleeping with him. She swallowed her pride and stopped his office once, but he was not there either. When she began to lose her mind staying alone in his penthouse, she started going for work. Being around people and
"Boss, miss Vitiello is now going towards her apartment" Matteo shared Mia's details.Reed frowned."Her apartment? Why is she going to her apartment? Where was she for the past two days?" he asked his underboss.This time Matteo is prepared with all the details."Boss, she stayed in the penthouse for the last two days. She started going to work from yesterday. She even dropped by your office this morning. I don't know why she is going to her apartment this evening" Matteo shared.Reed's frown cleared out. His lips twitched when he understood that she is angry with him. 'So the princess is throwing a temper tantrum? ' he thought."Go to her apartment" he instructed his underboss.They reached Mia's apartment."Boss, Miss Vitiello is in the basement. We think she is going out with someone" one of the guards who were arranged for Mia shared with Reed as soon as they saw him.Reed did not like the idea of Mia going out with anyone. The image of her holding another man's hand left a sour
Mia gave him a skeptical look. "You went out of the city?" she asked with a doubtful frown. He nodded. She remembered Matteo saying something about finding someone. 'Did he go to take care of this man they were searching for? So is this not about that kiss? I am an idiot. He must have kissed countless women in his life. Why will he go out of his way for one kiss? He might not have remembered it in the first place she wondered. The women in their families will not interfere or ask for details about the work they do. Even though she wanted to demand an explanation for disappearing like that, she didn't. As this is her first proper kiss apart from the kiss she shared with Alesso which she doesn't even remember, she felt it to be special. But he doesn't have to feel that way. 'He is affecting me too much. If i stay with him for much longer, i don't think i can survive him. It is better to stay away from him at least until this thing with Alesso could be canceled. After that, even if
"Doctor Mia? Are you alright?" Susanna asked with concern. She noticed that Mia is zoned out quite a lot lately. She is dull and so preoccupied. The charm she used to carry in her eyes is lost somewhere in the past one week. Every time her mobile rings, she looks at the caller id with hope, only to sag her shoulders with disappointment. Apart from attending to the patients and doing her duty, she is barely speaking anything to anyone. "I am fine" Mia replied distractedly. After that night, Reed disappeared again. When he saw what he was about to do, she saw a myriad of emotions playing on his face. This is the first time she has seen so many emotions in him. Regret, repulsion, and horror were the major emotions among the others. After he left, she lay on the bed in the same position as he left her for hours thinking about what happened. She should be angry, she should be scared of him and she should have killed him, or at least try to kill him. But that's not how she is feeling. Sh
By the time Mia reached her apartment that evening, it was almost eight in the evening. She was assigned a last-minute delivery case and she gladly accepted it. Anything to keep her mind off the man who refused to leave her alone. The marks he has given are yet to fade away from her body and his memories refused to leave her mind. She stepped out of the elevator onto her floor while rummaging her flat keys in her handbag. She did not immediately notice the man standing in front of her apartment. When she finally did, she froze. He doesn't look like the Reed she knows. The Reed she knows is always put together and well-groomed. But the Reed standing in front of her has a beard that badly needs a trim. His hair needs to be combed and his clothes are wrinkled. His eyes look haunted and the arrogant man whom she came to know is nowhere to be found. The man in front of her has his eyes filled with guilt and so much sadness. Mia wanted to hug him. But her reaction shocked her. She should
Mia is sitting in the middle of the bed with her arms folded on her knees and her chin resting on her knees. After she fainted, Reed carried her inside her apartment and called for a doctor. The good doctor is not very pleased that she is skipping her meals again resulting in her intestinal walls developing rashes because of her stomach acids. He evaluated her condition and said that her body is too weak to function and she needs good food and rest to bounce back to her normal self. Reed became withdrawn after he heard what the doctor said. He did not speak anything, but she saw guilt in his eyes. He is blaming himself for her deteriorating health. He fed her breakfast which he cooked himself and then he is in the process of packing her luggage. He is sending her back to the island for a while. He requested an extended leave on her behalf from her boss as well. "Reed" she whispered. He paused in what he is doing, but he didn't turn around to face her. In fact, he is not meeting her
"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
