Chapter 152: Stucked
Mia's POV
I didn't want him, no, I wished to be rescued there and then but the feelings of mave was taking over that I was letting him have his way.
When he stopped, he directed his face to look at him.
"Everything's about to change mia...this is the beginning of your misery!" He snarls as the skin on his face wrinkles and I widen my eyes at him.
"I know where she is!" I cried shutting my eyes and shivering.
He was scary as i limply sat on the ground, my head resting on his knees. He got me. I was still weak in his presence.
He lowers to my position, cupped my cheeks and said:
"Bring my daughter to me in 30 days or you become mine and I promise you Mia that aiden of yours won't be left out"
"Get ready to see my wrath love" he concluded and kissed me of the forehead.
There was a feeling that wasn't an empty threat. Why does he have to come now? At a time when I had found my solid ground.
I clenched my teeth and attempted to stand but he aided me up.
Hastily, I rudely pushed his hand away as I felt cold. However, he suddenly took me in his arms and I was pressed to him.
"I can walk!" I barked trying to break free.
I was wrapped in a blanket, standing at the pavement and waivering from the cold.
Then his car drove in, the blinding flash light from his but it went off almost immediately.
"Mia!"
"Aiden!" I called as I ran to embrace him. The tears I held began to drool down.
I just wanted to be buried in his arms.
"Where have you...been?" I wept as my tears choked my words.
"It's okay, I'm here now" he assures as his body enveloped mine.
His palm rubs my hair as I was so scared to speak.
He sat me on the sofa, brew coffee for me and gosh, I was lost wishing he was a werewolf to mark me, not my ex.
"Let me guess, you were missing me" he began. That was my least worries, I took the mug from him and gulp down despite the hotness.
I didn't reply as I began to scratch my fingers and body. He quickly pointed a tiny bottle of lotion at me.
"You're always forgetting this" Aiden scold.
He was behind me now and his lips lowered to my ear.
"Do you mind if I apply it on your skin?"
I shrugged him gently restless and he wouldn't like my next statement.
First, I took the lotion from him, gestured to him to face me which he did.
His peering eyes at me.
"Let's call off the wedding"
***
Aiden
That was my fear, calling off the wedding. She had her reasons and it hurts me to say that.
What if she doesn't love me but just playing around with his heart.
She was so insecure, I sensed it and that's why i wants to be her solid ground, her mirror and knight.
When I had asked her why, her respond was;
"I'm not ready"
However, her wish was my command and I would do anything for her. When i looks at her, I couldn't read her emotions.
Heaving a sigh, I drew near and she ducks her head away, avoiding my gaze and tightening the blanket on her body.
My eyes evaluates her. I was curious to know if she figured out something about me.
The only thing I told her was about my ex-wife who she never met. However, I never told her the story behind our break up.
Her words were killing me as fear crossed his mind.
"I love you...mia" I bluntly said wanting to hear her respond but she didn't.
A sudden sadness cross my eyes. I tried not to get lost in Lydia's words that mia was just using me.
It was that feeling which I doesn't understand that stopped me from going ahead with my intended plans.
"Let's just leave this place to an isolated island, far away..."
I held her face to look straight at me after sensing her restless nature. It was as though she was hiding from someone, something or anything.
I noticed her eyes going to and fro, for the first time, i saw an orange ring around her eyes.
She claims to have told me about myself but I doubts if it were everything she spit out.
"Mia, everything is in control, tell me, is anyone threatening you..."
"No"
"Did something come up in your world and..."
"No! Aiden! You would never understand because you're a mere human!" She retorts, harshly dropped my hand from her cheeks and stormed upstairs.
I folded my fist and gulps hard. I loosen myself and rake my hair with my fingers.
It wasn't as though I didn't have his worries, I had a daughter whom i havd to save within 30 days.
When Jane my daughter had found me acting all tough on Lydia, I had to cover up by pretending to massage her arms.
It took another lie for me to escape my daughter's questions on the reason I'd be leaving her again.
The only reason I was roped around Lydia was this child.
I could neither gain custody of her because of my ex-wife father's influence.
He was a politician and judge at the same time. He knew his daughter must have been aware of my relationship with someone else.
That's because Lydia will not leave that part out. I wonders how bad she had painted my name for his daughter.
Nevertheless, the naive child still appreciates my presence. With so much thoughts in my mind, I only wants to come home to mia.
However, coming home to feel comfort and consolation from her, she only happen to shatter me.
Sometimes, I wonders when she would understand my feelings and not concentrate on herself alone.
Soon, she might want a break up and that was the least of what I should be thinking.
I strolled to his study room, paced towards the window. Whenever I felt heavy at heart, the view of outside was my comfort.
However, my eyes suddenly caught sight of a shadow glaring at me from the garden.
Puzzled, I rubbed my eyes to get a lucid vision of what I saw but the shadow was gone.
