บททั้งหมดของ Married to my Ex's Father: A tale of revenge : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 38

Mia's world had become a gilded cage. Immediately after the proposal, Logan moved her from their current house to another one of his luxurious mansions. Devastation curled in her chest when Logan broke the news to her. He was going on a business trip that would require him to be gone for weeks, and to ensure her safety, he had moved her to another house that was miles away from the first mansion. "This is where you'll live from now on until I get back from my business trip." Logan had said to her when they arrived at the new house. "How long will you be gone for?" She asked. "Might take weeks, but I promise I won't be gone for long."Unknown to her, Logan had brought her down to this place so he could restrict her movements and ensure she wouldn't leave while he was gone. Ever since Logan found her along the road that led to Fred's house, he'd had his suspicions. The mansion he had brought her to was well packed with all the things Mia would need to survive, so she didn't have a

A loud thud erupted from the floor as Mia fell onto her knees. Her shoulder blade strained when the guard thought Mia was trying to escape, doubled his strength in the hold, accidentally yanking her arm with force while she fell to the ground. The pain shot through her body like electricity. The only sound she produced was a muffled whimper. She pretended to ignore it—to ignore that the pain from her sprained shoulder didn't amount to the cash she felt in her chest. "Logan, I beg you. Don't do this to him, please.""This is the punishment he has to endure for tarnishing my image.""Why does he have to get punished alone?!" She let out, her tone rising. She gritted her teeth before the next words escaped, "What about the lady in the tapes, doesn't she deserve to be punished too?!"There was silence in the air for a moment before Logan responded, "I have no business with the woman. I don't know who she is, so I don't wish to punish her."Mia stopped herself before she said anything

The low beeping of monitors filled Mia's ears as she stirred in her sleep. She flung one hand over her eyes, blocking the rays of sunlight from getting in. The sound of the door opening caused Mia to awaken finally, despite her work to remain asleep. She opened her eyes slowly to see a lady, who was around her age walk in with a tray of food in hand. The lady was dressed in black leggings and a black crop top. Her luscious hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail, with some strands falling across the side of her face. Mia hoisted herself to a sitting position, the sleep completely gone, staring wide eyed at the woman who paid her no heed. The woman looked familiar, but Mia had a hard time remembering where she had seen her before. It was highly unlikely that the woman was a nurse, owing to the fact that there was a basket in the tray which held a bag of drip, injections and some antibiotics. She kicked the door close behind her, making her way across the room. She kept t

Ava's concentration was fixated on preparing and administrating the injection to Mia that she didn't even notice that Mia had been staring at her for a long time. She turned and from the corner of her gaze, she saw Mia's eyes on her. "You got any problems?" Ava said coldly without looking up at her. "Ugm..." Mia swallowed, "I..I was just wondering if you had any idea about medicine, do you know what you're doing?" "Of course..." Ava said simply. Mia thought that was all the response she was getting from her, but then, Ava added, "I have a degree in medicine, you know." She tore open another injection needle, setting it down inside a tray, before she placed her hands on her laps and looked up at Mia. "You don't need to worry, I'm going to treat you just right." Mia's struggled to hold gazes with her. When Ava focused her concentration back on her work, Mia silently heaved a sigh of relief. Something about what she had said didn't sit right in Mia's guts. But there was
