Chapter 154

Rico.

I can't stop thinking about what that woman said. Is it true I had an affair with my brother's wife?

I don't know what to think. The screams from down the hall make an uncomfortable feeling form in my stomach. Carl and his wife are fighting.

Mia hasn't approached me yet, and I have no idea what I will tell her. My gut tells me the woman was lying. If I had a woman like Mia with me, what would possibly make me look at anyone else?

The girl is everything and more, and how she just handled business downstairs makes her more beautiful.

I will never want to lose a girl like that for something that does not belong to me. I felt nothing when I saw my brother's wife. It can't be true.

" Hey," I quickly turn around to the sound of her soft voice.

She is now changed from the work clothes, and only has a white shirt that I'm assuming is mine from how huge it is on her smaller body. Her eyes are clear, they hold no accusation nor sadness as I expected.

"Hi, how was your day?" I ask moving closer to her.

" Work was okay, how was yours?"

Mia takes the last step, completely covering the distance between us.

" Mmmh listen, about what Bella said, I..." I point at where the noises are coming from and I don't know what to say. It's frustrating as it is.

" Hey" she softly places her warm palms on my cheeks " Whatever those two are arguing about, has nothing to do with you"

" I know my Rico, and he would never cheat on me whatsoever. You were a God-sent babe, and you spent every minute of your life showing me how much I meant to you". She starts and I sigh in relief. The worry I had a while ago is easing up.

" Your love was tangible. Every night when you made love to me, I felt it on my fingertips. You would always worship every part of me. Every touch and caress from you was like a silent promise. Every lick on my skin was a murmur of love" Her words always get to me. I don't remember doing all that, but from how she is saying it, the sincerity and the raw emotions in her eyes, make me want to fall on my knees and worship her.

Even in my state of darkness, there is no doubt in my heart that I love the girl standing in front of me.

"I.." I murmur not knowing what to say. Fuck my head.

" I love every part of you Rico and no matter what anyone has to say, it's not going to change"

Mia pulls away and walks to the bed and sits down. I don't want her away from me, so I follow her.

"We had just discovered my pregnancy when you left" I slowly kneel in front of her and wound my arms around her body. I wish I knew what happened on that day. " Your phone was off and I knew something was wrong. I sent my men to look for you but it was like you were erased from the earth's surface, until yesterday when Fabio showed me those pics"

" Don't worry about anything around here" she whispers running her hand through my hair and slightly pulling it. " Our lives have not been easy but we have each other. You have a great family Rico, your mum, Carl, Kay, and your three friends. I don't know what would have happened to me if they were not here" Her face suddenly saddens, and I am about to ask about her family but I hold myself from doing so. I will learn everything I need with time. I don't want to ruin this lovely moment with silly questions.

" I love you so much, Rico. You are my world, our baby too" She takes my hand and gently lays it on her tummy. I swear, I feel like crying. She's making me so fucking weak right now. " It doesn't matter how long it will take you to remember us. I will wait all my life for you"

"Baby, stop" I breathlessly whisper. This is too much, I don't deserve this.

" I won't Rico. When you left I regretted not appreciating you more, and I won't repeat that. I don't want to take your presence for granted again''

" Please, make love to me" She finally whispers the words I dreaded hearing from her. I knew she would. Mia slowly unbuttons her shirt and tosses it away. She gently lays on the bed and I dryly swallow. Her smooth delicate body is bare in front of me and no matter how much I want to look away, my eyes can't stop wandering.

I'm conflicted though, will I be taking advantage of her weakness if I touch her without the memory of us? On the other hand, I can't say no to her. She is on the verge of crying and I won't be myself if I let another tear drop.

She has been alone for three months with crazy pregnancy hormones. I have let her down already and I won't do it again.

" I don't want to hurt you. " I don't trust myself to do this. She looks so delicate and one wrong move might hurt her and our baby. I don't know if I can go easy either.

"I trust you, Rico, please" Her eyes are enough to lower my walls. So tender and begging.

Bewitching.
