All Chapters of Mia’s Fortune : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Leave?" She said, the word sounding off and heavy as it escaped her mouth, she pinched her wrist and sucked in a sharp breath."I can't, I renewed the contract some days ago, another two years, I have to spend that with him!" She replied, I didn't argue back and just placed a steak into my mouth."And when she returns?" I asked all of a sudden and she went stiff."Who will return?" She asked, my smile stretched and I wiped the edge of my lips."She will return, and when she does, you will have no place in his heart. Celeste, prepare to be disgraced, dragged and insulted by his real love," I announced and watched as she swallowed hard, she sucked on her bottom lip."I know," she said, I knew her heart felt heavy and all... she was in love, she was taking a risky decision, I did the same thing too and refused every man for him, for Christian, but he ended up doing all that to me."Celeste, it's from experience. Leave when that time comes, before he hurts you beyond repair," I advised a

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked and he shook his head, but he suddenly stopped the car.I lost control and my head landed straight on the car bonnet. I gritted my teeth and cursed him in my mind, he had done this on purpose, all because I asked about Laura, about my death."Are you okay?" He finally asked, but it took him long enough.I forced a smirk and flashed it at him, then gently touched my hand to the hurting spot. "No, did you do that on purpose?" I asked straight up and the smug smirk he had on disappeared."I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to, I sighted something on the road and lost control," he lied and I scoffed.Now I was going to let my irritation show, after all getting me too easily was going to be suspicious."No need to tell me such nonsense. You did do that because I asked about your ex-fiancée's death? Why are you getting worked up over it if you did nothing wrong?" I snapped and rubbed faster at the spot that hurt.He wasn't shocked by my outburst and only st

The driver's eyes widened in shock. I pulled away that second and pressed my lips into a thin line. I dared not utter a single word.I pulled away and walked out of the car that instant, pushed the door open, and ran off. As soon as I arrived at the living room, I rushed to my room and shut the door closed. I took in a deep breath and touched my lips.That dumb driver... why did he suddenly stop like that? What even caused it?I placed my hands on my head and paced around, so confused yet still lost in thought."Arghhh!"Just then, a knock came on the door. My heart hammered wildly, thinking Vincent had followed me up, but upon opening it, I saw it was only Cassidy outside."Mum," she called out again.I breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. "Yes, do you nee—"I stopped in the middle of my words when I noticed she was hiding behind Vincent."Why did you run away just like that? Uncle said he had something to say to you," she added softly.Then she stared at Vincent, her smile

I stared at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t blink, nor could I gasp. I looked breathtaking.“Your face has become viral. What did you do?” the makeup artist asked.The hair stylist nudged her elbow, giving her a warning look to back off, I just chuckled lowly.“I got slimmer,” I lied.They exchanged looks, then turned back to me. Their eyes widened slightly as realization set in...I did look slimmer.Just then, the curtains opened completely, and Vincent walked in, both hands in his pockets.I stood up immediately and rushed toward him. “How do I look?” I asked excitedly.I had always wanted to do this, but Christian never let me..not once. He never even complimented me. How did I not notice it before? I stayed with a man who constantly brought down my ego, made me feel less of myself, and I still let him control everything…I blinked slowly, “Breathtaking,” he replied. I snapped back to reality, staring at him in confusion.“Sorry, what did you say?” I asked, his gaze stayed on me,

The knife pressed against Cassidy’s neck, the blade glinting under the dim light. My heart slammed against my ribs, I couldn’t breathe. One wrong move and my little girl would bleed out right there on the screen.“No!” I screamed, my voice cracking. The whole hall went dead silent for a second, then burst into shouts again.The masked man laughed low and cold. “Tick tock, Mia. Thirty minutes almost up. Choose.”I stepped forward without thinking, but a hand rested on my shoulder "Stay!" Vincent words echoed in my ear, but how could I not? Cassidy’s eyes were wide, tears rolling down her cheeks. Austin sat beside her, his small body shaking, while Sloane groaned in pain from the stab in her leg, blood pooling on the floor under her chair.Then the screen split again. Xena appeared on the other side. She was tied up too, in a different room maybe, her face already bruised, my stomach dropped, he had hurt her too“Xena…” I whispered.The masked figure moved to her side. “Oh, you care abo
