Dark Love

Chapter Seventeen

A new day,a new expectation for your life.Mia opened her eyes,it took her a little while to realize where she was.Todd's arms were around her,and her head shoved in his chest.He was still asleep,not aware that Mia was gawking at him like an owl.

Just looking at him erupted butterflies in her stomach.She was actually proud of what she achieved.She presented a good-looking man to her mother.She couldn't have felt any prouder.

What she didn't know was Todd knew she was awake,and staring at him.He too,felt proud of what he achieved.Mia was a breathtaking woman.She was strong and independent,the kind of women that knows what she wants in life.That's all he wanted.

He was relieved when she didn't leave him because of his son.The little bastard,he was a mood-swinger with issues and a corrupted brain.Todd didn't know what to do.He surely couldn't send him back to his mother,that wouldn't work considering his mother is never in.She's always working,she's what he called a 'night crawler' or 'woman of the night'.That's right,she was a stripper.He met her at some bar in L.A.,not a big deal.He was drunk,she wanted money and boom,Donald was the fruit of a drunken moment,a mistake.

Part of that was why he was such a troubled kid.His mother was always out,and worst...he knew what her profession was.A.stripper.A hooker.A whore.Sometimes he wouldn't eat her food,he said the money she earned was dirty.That happened when he was about twelve.He stayed two days without eating,but then he realized that it was worthless.

Todd was aware of all of that.He might've been a screwup but he cared for his son.He knew that if it depended on Casey,the kid would've been drowned in the bathtub by her a long time ago.Basically,all Donald had was Todd,and that bothered him slightly.Mia seemed to like Donnie,they got along.Donald liked her,too.That was something he could live with.He loved the fact that she was open-minded,and that made him fall deeper for her.He would never let her go,only until death tore them apart...

A few hours later...

Mia was rushing to work.She hated Todd at the moment.He kept her in bed and now she was late for work.And worst,she was supposed to be meeting her new boss.As his new PA she was obligated to be there first.She just hoped he wouldn't think little of her,that wouldn't be too good.

She didn't even get to wash her hair properly.She looked a little messy and disoriented,and by the look Jade gave her when she walked past thw office doors,that wasn't a very good thing.“You're late."she murmured as she walked beside her,“Luckily Mr.Olivera didn't arrive yet or else you'd be fired."

“Lucky me."Mia mumbled.

She stood behind her desk and took a deep breath.Looks like she was lucky this time,but next time she wasn't going to allow that to happen.She hated not being on time.It made her feel like an irresponsible person,and that was the last thing she needed.

She began reorganizing her desk.She needed everything in order,just the way Sunny liked it.She would definitely miss him,he was the best boss she'd ever had.Everybody loved him in the office and now that he was gone she would have to get on the new boss's good side.Go figure!

Jade rushed over to Mia's desk,“He just arrived!"she said and squealed.Mia eyed her carefully.As far as she knew,Jade was engaged and she wasn't supposed to squeal because her new boss was hot.

When the man finally walked in,Mia froze.Her head was spinning and her heart was racing.Fear overtook her,and blocked out all her emotions.Her worst nightmare was came true right before her bare eyes.Horrible memories flashed through her brain,memories she had fought for too long to block out.How could someone's life change in seconds?Was the universe playing a trick on her?

Her new boss wasn't her ex-fiancé,it was his own diabolical father,the man that turned Mia's life into a subterranean hell.She would always remember his face,never would she forget those sharp features and that salt and pepper beard.

It wouldn't be long before he would see her,and make her life a living hell again.She wouldn't be able to escape him this time...she would work for him.
