Chapter Five: I will make them pay

With trembling hands, she picked up the fountain pen and hesitated before she sealed her fate on the paper.

Carlo thought that Mia had changed her mind and fear gripped him for a second.

"Uncle, please do your best to make sure my parent's company survives", she sniffed gently.

"You don't have to be worried, the company is in safe hands", he rubbed her head and patted her shoulders.

The old lady was full of excitement.

"Quickly, get some rest and enough food. I bet you have not been sleeping properly these few days".

An order was given to the kitchen staff to prepare whatever she felt like eating.

Her 360-degree change in behavior made Mia shocked. For the first time in her life, she felt sweet and loved the feeling of being cared for.

For as long as she could remember, the old woman was her paternal grandmother. However, the way she treats her makes her think that she is not her granddaughter.

This is because there has always been a clear difference between the way she treats Aurora and her.

Does it mean that her behaviour for these past eight years has been terrible? 

Well, she would cherish the sweet moments while it lasted.

Mia's footsteps which were supposed to be sloppy became lighter. She bound the steps with vigour to her room.

"That child called Mia is so naive and silly. It's best to keep her engaged so that she has no time to think about anything good", the old woman whispered fiercely. Her serious and vicious gaze on Carlo made him shiver slightly.

Aurora, whose presence was not visible earlier, cleared her throat gently. The trio communicated with their eyes.

……….

The following days were uneventful and Mia had some rest. Perhaps she didn't know that it indicated peace before the storm.

That weekend, Aurora dressed to the nines while Mia kept a low profile. She didn't want to attract so much attention to herself. After all, she fulfilled her promise to attend the party.

Arriving at the Passalacqua Hotel, they waited in the car for some time before stepping out.

"Later on, stay by my side. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. You know you have been through a lot" recently". Aurora deliberately passed by where the reporters gathered.

The limelight fell on her as she smiled at the camera. After saying a few words, she entered the venue. 

Mia had taken slipped away and another route into the venue. Sitting comfortably at the back, she munched on I'm a strawberry cake.

Aurora was almost out of breath when she finally located her. To calm her fiery temper, she took a flute of champagne from a waiter and gulped the drink at a go.

………..

While the party was at its peak, an expensive but low-profile car stopped in the top-tier parking lot of the hotel.

A tall and extremely eye-catching young man took a private elevator to an A-class suite.

"Boss, should I……?" the subordinate's ears and face turned red as he looked at his boss' enchanting look.

"Get out", his cold aura did no justice to his beautiful facial features.

His slender and smooth fingers gently unbuttoned his shirt. The subordinate who was there had a smitten look on his face.

Our boss is capable of charming both men and women 

He felt the atmosphere had become colder so took to his heels. Lorenzo sighed and wondered if his subordinates thought he was gay.

Stepping into the shower, he let the cold water flow gently on his body. Lorenzo tried his best to keep the beast side of him from showing up.

No one knew what he was thinking about. But on opening his eyes, they glowed with murderous intent.

"They dare to drug me? I will make the pay", Lorenzo hit the wall and let out an earth-shattering roar.

By then Mia had drunk more than ten glasses of champagne and her body swayed.

She started making a fuss and few people began to notice her. 

Aurora apologized to the people around before giving a waiter an eye signal to take her away.

No one would ask questions, especially after seeing a drunk lady with a man. The scenery is present at every party. 

On getting to the room, the waiter threw her on the bed. The impulse to satisfy his desire was evident but he had to obey orders. 

When he heard the shower running, the waiter knew that the other person must have been arranged as well.

He slipped out of the room quietly. Lorenzo never expected that someone would barge into his room. 

He was still dripping with water when he came out of the bathroom. The white robe outlined his perfect and sexy but strong abs.

The soft moaning and tugging of clothes caught his attention. Lorenzo blinked and found a delicate figure on his bed.

Smirking, he almost picked up his phone to call his subordinate. 

He must be tired of living. How dare he send a woman to his room?

His first impulse was to shoot Mia and throw her corpse out later. On second thought, he took a closer look at Mia.

Lorenzo's lower body throbbed more in pain with her constant moans and tugging of clothes.

While he was contemplating what to do, Mia had successfully removed every piece of cloth on her.

She skipped happily towards him in relief and her drunk state made her more attractive.

"Ouch!" she twisted her ankle and let out a loud moan that caught Lorenzo's attention.

The scenery before him made his throat dry.

The self-control he had always been proud of flew out of the window. Lorenzo's raging desire and true self came out.

Picking her up from the floor, Mia pouted and hit him on the chest. 

Since both were inexperienced in such affairs, it took him quite some time to used to her body.

What followed was bouts and bouts of pleasure they had never experienced.

Lorenzo had overstretched himself inside of Mia. He never had an idea that a woman could be so soft and accommodate his length. She was like a glove made just for him.

He knew about the dirty words the media used in describing his lower body. Anyway, he wasn't interested in any of those women with fake faces and bosom.

Lorenzo left hickeys on every inch of her smooth and beautiful skin. Unknowingly, he was marking his territory.

After going through several rounds, he let her rest. He could remember that Mia clung to him throughout the process.

So Lorenzo who was yet to reach his limit took another opportunity to satisfy himself again.

When Mia couldn't take it anymore, he finally allowed her to rest. The soft breathing beside him gave him some sort of contentment.

Looking at the scratches on his shoulders, he couldn't believe that he had his first time in such a manner. That's when reality dawned on him that he didn't twitch in the last few hours.
