Semua Bab The Billionaire's Proposal: Falling For Her Crazy Charms: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Mia slammed the door of her room shut, before getting on her bed and under the duvet. Her lips were still parted, her brain absorbing everything that just happened. Did she push his button that hard? Why did he flare up so much at the mention of his mother? But he started it, he had been the one to... Her phone began ringing, interrupting her thoughts. Having an idea of who it might be, she picked up. "Tam, are you home already?" Mia asked immediately, checking the time. It was 9:36PM. "No, Mia. I don't know what's happening, they're moving mom out of the private ward," Mia could hear the strain in her voice and she swallowed, her fists clenching into a tight ball. "Just be calm, Tam. I'll fix this. Mom will still be taken care of, okay?" "Okay," Tammy mumbled, her voice calm now. After ending the call, Mia buried her face in her pillow, "Arrgh! I hate you Xavier Singh." She screamed, the pillow muffling her shrill voice. Trying not to think about him, she tossed and

Irene turned pale, her face as white as sheets, as if she's just seen a ghost. What does Mia thinks she's doing? Going against Xavier's order?"I'm.. I'm sorry, ma'am... I can't stand up without Mr Xavier's permission," she stammered, her head still lowered, her eyes fixed on the delicate marbled floor of the living room.Mia folded her arms, a tight frown on her face, then she looked at Xavier whose forehead puckered, his earlier hardened expression replaced with a squinted glint in his enchanting grey orbs.She suddenly wished to know what he was thinking in that head of his."Xavier, I really need to talk to you," she repeated her words, more calmly this time, then she added meekly, "Can nanny Irene stand up?"A scoff escaped Xavier's lips, his gaze expressionless. The effrontery she had to stand up to him and say words without any hint of fear stirred something within him... the urge to see her break.A dark thought crept up in his mind immediately, "I didn't ask her to kneel in t

Her gaze lingered on the black exclusive card that was in her right hand for a minute longer, with the other hand hoisted on her hips. Biting down on her tongue, Mia shoved it into her purse, with a sneer on her face. "Use the card from now on," she mimicked how his deep voice would have sounded if he were right in front of her. Stripping out of her nightwear, she ventured into the luxurious bathroom, shutting every thoughts from creeping into her mind. She isn't the type to depend on a man, so if he thinks he's doing her a favor, he better snaps out of that reverie. After brushing her teeth, she filled the cozy bathtub with warm water, adding and inhaling the sweet scent of strawberry and lavender. When she was done, she stepped out of the bathroom, and wrapped a towel around her body and another around her wet chestnut brown hair. Mia entered the boutique- like closet and selected a simple cream- colored laced frock and packed her hair in a simple messy bun. Since she

She dared ask for a divorce? After everything he's done for her? Her words hung in the air, hitting him like a ton of bricks.In a swift motion, Lucas struck her hard across her face again, and her head snapped to the left direction."Don't you ever repeat that again," he spat venomously, his eyes blazing red.Mitchell kept mute for a moment, recovering from the slap, then she slowly turned to look at him again."I'm tired, Lucas. I'm tired of everything. You've never treated me like your wife, except in public. I can't do this anymore. I'll send my lawyer."With that, she turned to leave, but he grabbed her roughly from behind and spun her to face him."Mitchell," he growled, locking eyes with her intensely."Do not test me."His grip around her arm was like a vice, and she winced painfully, her bones crushing slowly."Please let me go, Lucas," she whispered.But he only jerked her towards him harshly, and she winced again.Then he held her chin tightly, "Tell me. Do you want to go b

"I'll be out in a sec," she smoothened her gown as she said this, then she left her room.As she climbed downstairs, she saw him seated in the living room, on one of the cushions facing the TV and her heartbeat quickened."Hi, dad," she greeted the imposing man and he looked up from his phone, a small smile gracing his lips.The maids were not present, and Mia was glad for the privacy."How are you doing daughter-in-law?""Very well," she replied, waiting patiently for him to speak.Then he sighed softly, fixing his grey eyes on her, "I came to talk to you about... Xavier."Of course, who else was she expecting him to talk about if not Xavier?He continued, "I know he's really not in good terms with me, and he might not be delighted to see me here either, but you can't be see outside right now.""I understand," she nodded in affirmation."I have never seen Xavier look at a woman the way he looks at you since six years ago, and I must commend you for making him love again," Mateo Singh
