Mia. I swear, I sense trouble. I haven't seen Sean for the last three months. He didn't even attend Dad's funeral, what flashed him out today? I stop two steps away from him and he sighs standing up straight. "What are you doing here?" There is a bit of coldness in my voice that makes him furrow his brows. "Really?" Sean takes a step towards me and I hold my stance." Drop the attitude, princess" He covers the distance between us and I take a step back. I think I have been leading him on for a long time. This needs to stop. Sean sighs in irritation and goes back to leaning to his car. " The bombing of the famous club in LA is all over the news. I had to check if you are okay" His grey eyes quickly rake over my body before settling back to my face. "Well, as you can see, I am. You didn't have to come all the way here" "What's gotten into you? You have never been this rude Mia" He complains ruffling his blonde locks and I feel bad. I am acting bitchy. Fuck! What is wrong with me

Mia. I slowly open my eyes to the warm golden rays of the morning sun. The beige curtains are pulled apart, allowing sufficient air to envelop the room through the large glass windows. I always oversleep when I share a bed with Rico. His room is spacious, with high ceilings and white-painted walls. It doesn't hold much stuff though. Across the room, is a single armchair with a reading lamp, and a side table with a laptop on top of it. Two doors that lead to the bathroom and closet are on the other side. Overall, the room feels cozy, though, maybe in the future I would wish to rearrange it or perhaps add more stuff. Staring down at the man beside me, today I am the one clinging to him like a koala. Yesterday was amazing. Rico is so good at what he does and he always leaves me yearning for more. I hope he tries for us like promised though. However, today is a busy day for me. First, I need to hit the gym, hopefully, this house has one. Then later meet with Fabio. We are going to hun

Rico. "You know it's impossible to stop her Rico, it doesn't work that way, at least you should know this" I hit the punching bag harder before double-kicking it. I fucking know that, and I can't help but deny it. I almost had a heart attack when Bella called, and to find her in that situation, Fuck, I nearly died I swear. " I know Carl, you should have seen her" I tightly hold the bag and press my forehead on it. I am trying to eliminate this anger but it just can't go away. "I know how it feels, trust me. The only solution here is to help her settle this down. Only then will you live in peace." He says and I nod in understanding. We have been through this before. Right now Carl and his wife are living a drama-free life. If I want the same with Mia, then it has to be done. "Rico, did you see this?" I look behind me when Kay comes rushing in with Mia's laptop. I had called her earlier because I thought Mia could use a friend. They became close when we were at Mum's. Also, I don't

Mia. I quickly sit up and glance around me in confusion. How come I am back to Rico's room? Last thing I remember, we were in that warehouse where Mum was supposedly held captive. Oh, mum. My mother needs me, and I don't know how to get her back. I am sure even when I give them what they want, they will still kill her. They are still keeping her alive because she is the only thing they can use against me. Well, apart from Rico. Who took that parcel anyway? If they don't have it, then who? The room is cleared of the previous luggage, and I wonder for long I have been out. I rush to the bathroom to take a shower because I look like crap. I don't want Rico to see me this way. I dress in one of his black hoodies because It's big enough and uncomfortable. I am feeling cold so I grab a beanie and white knee-length socks and leave his room. I need to decide on my next step. Today my head hurts like hell. I am afraid I will die if anything happens to her. I had contemplated reaching o

Mia. I slowly sit up with a tired sigh. My body feels like it was run over by a track.The headache is almost gone but I am weak. I remember what Marcelo said before I collapsed, and I feel like my heart is leaving my body again. God no. This is what I was scared of. Rico can't cheat on me, right? Fuck, is he really a father? But how? His family should know if he had a girlfriend and a kid. Kay should have told me. I hold my head because the more I think, the worse the headache develops. I need to find out before I die for real. Why would she be here then? Rico lives alone, and her coming here is not a mistake. Oh no. It's true. I stand on my wobbly legs and exit his room. This is only becoming worse. When I reach the middle of the stairs that will lead me to the living room, the front door slams open and I instantly stop walking. Angry Rico walks inside holding a gun, and my heart stops. Did they find my Mother? He is enraged. Rico is behaving the same way he did the day
