Mia's POV"Should I call him or not?" I asked myself as I paced about the room, the card Allen had given me was tightly squeezed in my hands as I thought of what to do.There was a high possibility that it was him who paid for it. Kara wouldn't do something I asked her not to do. If it was him who paid my debts, was he the one who also rented the house so I could be chased out and would have no choice but to run to him? He was more desperate than I thought.I typed his number on my phone and dialed it. It rang twice before he picked up."Hello." His deep voice filtered through the phone, sending chills through my spine. I was suddenly nervous to speak."Hi, this is Mia." I said after I had cleared my throat."Oh! I've been expecting your call. Have you made your decision?" He asked, his voice sounded so calm and I hated it, there was nothing calm about the situation he had out me in."Yes. But first, I want to ask you something.""Go ahead.""Was it you that paid my rent?" I asked as
Mia's POV"Where is my room?" I asked, not beating around the bush. I wasn't going to sit with him and chit chat all day, I bet he didn't have time for that either."You look eager." He said as he placed the wine glass on a table in front of him. Really? Was he serious? I looked eager? My expression was the complete opposite of eagerness."Your room is upstairs. The room you slept in yesterday. Come down after freshening up, we have things to discuss." With that, he walked up the stairs, leaving me alone.I huffed as I dragged my suitcase across the room and headed for the room I slept in yesterday. I opened the door and saw that the room had been tidied up. It was in a cleaner state than when I left it this morning.I opened the wardrobe and found it empty. I was too tired to arrange my clothes right now, so I closed the door and picked out a pink shorts and white tank top, dropped them on the bed, then I headed to the bathroom for a quick shower.I wrapped my wet hair in a towel af
Mia's POV"You know how much I despise cheating and yet you went ahead and cheated on me." Allen continued. I wanted to know what Sophie was saying so badly, I wanted to hear her pleas. I wanted to know if she sounded genuinely sorry or not."I don't know if I can ever forgive you for this. I don't want to have anything to do with you again, goodbye." He said and ended the call. I felt a bit sorry for him when he ran his hand through his hair and almost pulled them out of their roots. Should I go in and comfort him? No, I think it was best if I didn't, it was part of the rules of the contract to stay out of each other's businesses. Allen was a big man, he can handle himself.I noticed he was about to turn around, so I quickly tiptoed away from the place and hurried up the stairs to my room. I shut the door softly and rested on the door for a while. Then I heard Allen's footsteps approaching, my heart beat erratically in my chest as I rested on the door. When he got to the front of
Mia's POV"Good morning, Mr Walker." Jerry greeted him, but I noticed he didn't bow.Allen ignored him and he pressed a kiss on my left cheek. I froze again. "Good morning, baby." He said in a low, deep voice.Baby? What the hell was going on with him this morning? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Then I remembered one of the rules of the contract. We had to pretend to be real couples in front of other people. I looked up at him and saw him staring at me with one of his brows raised. His eyes swept all over my body and it stayed on my legs for a while before moving to my chest. I looked down and registered that I was only wearing my white tank top, nothing else. I wasn't even putting on a bra, which made my nipples poke out through the thin white fabric and my big boobs were almost popping out of the sides of the tank top."Oh shit!" I cried out in horror as I wrapped my arms around my chest. No wonder Jerry couldn't look at me. The poor guy could have been fired for loo
Mia's POVA smile appeared on my face as I kept staring at the paper and the dress. Allen put this here, I knew that. But why was I smiling like an idiot?"Get your shit together, Mia." I smacked my cheeks so many times before I picked my phone so I could text Kara.Me: Hey.I waited for a while but she didn't text back, so I stripped off my clothes and went to the bathroom for a nice long bath. I used the strawberry shampoo to wash my hair before coming out of the bathroom. I heard my phone ringing so I rushed over to my bed to pick it. I smiled when I saw that it was Kara. I mean, who else would call me?"Hey, what's up." I said as I put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table."I'm fine. I just came back from a class and Andrew left this morning. I'm so bored right now. Can you ask Allen if I can come and visit you today? I miss my best friend.""Aww, you can't come today. We are going to LA for our honeymoon." I told her as I applied lotion on my body."What? You guys are
Mia's POVAs soon as we entered the car, Allen's hand was off my body like I was dirt. The scowl on his face was so evident that I swallowed hard as Connor shut the door, waiting for his next action."I told you not to say anything." He said in a harsh voice as he turned to look at me. I avoided his gaze and maintained my composure so he wouldn't think I was affected by him."But I had to say something." I replied to him, finally meeting his gaze."No, you didn't have to say anything." "Really? Because if I had decided not to say anything, we would still be out there with those reporters and they'd keep asking you questions about Sophie, which was clearly affecting you-""That's none of your business." He stated coldly, his eyes matching his voice. I pretended I was unbothered despite my racing heart. "Why? I'm your wife, shouldn't I be helping you with all these things? Do you want the public to know that you're still in love with your ex even though you're married to me?" "Get th
Mia's POV"Do you want me to get one for you?" Allen's voice was soft as he spoke, his thumbs continued to trace circles on my hands and my eyes stayed glued to our locked fingers. "A cat?""Yeah, do you want one?" He asked again, his grip on my hands tightened. I glanced at him and met with his hazel eyes, staring at me like I was a piece of art. A little shiver worked its way down my back and I remained tongue tied. Allen raised a brow at me, expecting me to give him an answer, I opened my mouth to talk but nothing seemed to come out."I'm sorry to interrupt, but here are your drinks." The flight attendant said as she stood beside Allen. I immediately yanked my hands from Allen's grip like I had been caught doing something bad. I gave her a warm smile and grabbed my orange juice, "Thank you." I told her, before taking a sip from it. Allen dismissed her after he had taken his glass of champagne. I felt his eyes on me but I refused to look at him. I brushed a non-existing strand of
Mia's POVI turned towards the other side of the soft bed and pulled the plush pillow towards my chest. I smiled in content and sank further into the bed. The bed was exactly like the one in my room, at Allen's penthouse, except this one had more pillows.Since we got to LA and ate an early dinner, I had gone straight to bed after a quick shower. I had to explain to Allen that I was tired after the flight and just wanted to rest when he started to talk about the details of the event we would be going to. And now I was awake and it wasn't even morning yet.I grabbed my phone to check the time and saw that it was just twelve o'clock in the midnight. I decided to listen to some music, hoping that it would make me feel sleepy again. But I started to feel thirsty, so I left my room, closing the door quietly behind me so I wouldn't wake Allen, who was sleeping in the room next to mine. I tiptoed and walked past his room, his light was off so he was probably asleep. I walked into the kitchen
