"My husband is my best friend, my greatest support, my biggest comfort, my strongest motivation, my truest smile, my deepest love, my favorite, my forever. He has me. Entirely." - Unknown

Mia Miller's POV

My husband got home and he looked so tired and upset. I can't explain what it was but I know something was wrong. I asked him but he was trying to hide it from me. I finally convinced him to tell me what it was and I found it funny. He was so serious. I joked him of his company's bankruptcy and he was so serious. But, I was true to my words. If ever that it happened am not gonna leave him I can't lose my husband, he is my life especially now that I am carrying his child.

Our things are already packed. I'm just waiting for him to arrive and we will fly to Illinois tonight.

I'm sitting here in our living room while waiting for him.

"Honey...I'm home..." He calls. Hmm. Seems he's happy.

I look at his direction and he goes near me. I smiled at him.

He grabs my waist and gives me three pecks on the lips.

"Honey you made it!" He exclaims.

"I made it? What did I make?" I know he's referring to the report.

"The report. Thank you so much baby, you saved me! I have presented it well, your advices on how to present it worked!"

"You can present it though I didn't tell you how, you were just so worried."

"Hmm...so humble my love. So shall we?"

"No. You take a bath first. We will eat on the plane."

"Aye..aye...Queen of the..."
I prop my arms on my chest and raises my eyebrows to him. What kind of stuff is this man thinking?

"Queen of the what?"

He smiles as if enjoying a private joke.

"Uh honey Queen of the... My Queen."

He kisses me and ascends the stairs.
I'm giving it to you Lukas Carlisle but I'm not buying it.

It's been three days since we landed here in Illinois. Like him, I am also done with my presentation. I decided to formally introduce him to my employees.

"Anna, ask someone to arrange our boardroom tomorrow. We will gather there. Call for the caterer also. Send me the food lists, we will have a simple lunch at Andrea Hotel."

I intruct my PA to do the arrangements.

"Yes, Ms. Miller."

A day ago...

He drove me to the office. He was carrying my bag while walking on my way to my office. My employees were saying "Hi, Ms. Miller.", "Good morning, Ms. Miller.", "Hi, Sir.". Those were everywhere and all we can hear.

He placed my bag on my office table. When I feel that he's gonna say something, I walked him inside my office's room.

"Babe, are you gonna say something?"

He looked at me and asked.

"Honey, why are they still calling you Ms. Miller? Aren't your employees aware that you are married? Babe, are you ashamed of my surname?"

It made me frown.

"Honey, it's not like that. It just happens that they are used to calling me Ms. Miller. They are addressing me that for a very long time. And babe, I'm not ashamed of your surname. Actually, that's the best gift you've ever given me."
