Chapter 162
Rico. 

"Hey, wake up" I am startled from my sleep by persistent tapping on my shoulder. 

"Mia is in trouble, Rico, wake up" The voice comes again, clearing all the drowsiness from my eyes.

"What?" I whisper in alarm as I quickly sit up and get out of bed altogether. I stare at the teenage boy in front of me with furrowed brows trying to ignore the murderous headache I just woke up with.. Fuck, she is not here. 

"Where is she? " I enquire pulling on a shirt. Fuck, I shouldn't have slept.

"Downstairs, her mother came back and ambushed the guards. We need guns, everyone there is armed" He says running to the closet and I quickly run behind him. 

The boy opens one of Mia's drawers and gives me two guns before grabbing two for himself. Without another word, I rush out of the room, and just before I can take the stairs, the wicked voice reaches my ears, and my blood runs cold. 

"I am going to rip out the bastard in it and behead you the same way you did with Ryan" 

No. I skip two stairs at a time, and before I can get to Mia, the men knock her from behind, and everything else appears to be in slow motion to me. 

No. 

I can't let her hit the ground. She will get hurt. 

"Mia" the boy behind me yells, leaping through the stairs, and just when she is about to touch the ground, he catches her and I take that momentum to get in action. 

With my guns raised in the air, I aim at anything in sight and take clear shots. The boy holding Mia covers her and since the intruders aren't many, it doesn't take long to put them down. 

My eyes shift to the bitch who hasn't moved an inch. The woman starts clapping her hands as she approaches me and since I don't have her time, I empty the remaining bullets in her body and run back to Mia. She needs a doctor.

"Go start the car, we are going to the hospital" The boy passes the unconscious girl to me and I gently hold her following him out. 

Where is everyone in this house anyway? No one is in sight, let alone dead bodies to show they were attacked. And how can a mother be so insensitive to her kid? 



"Thank you" I mutter, sitting beside the boy who is continuously tapping his feet on the ground in the waiting room. I don't know who he is, but he just saved me a great deal of pain. 

If at all that woman had succeeded in what she had said, I would surely die beside Mia. 

"She is my friend. If she got hurt, I would hurt too" I eye the boy a minute longer and get up. I need to smoke. My head is killing me, and my ringing phone just made it worse.

"What?" I ask in annoyance without looking at the caller ID. 

"Where are you? Fabio just called saying they are in trouble and they can't find Mia" I pull my phone back to confirm the caller before pressing it back on my ear.

"Just bring me something strong to smoke, Carl. I feel like my head is about to burst right now" I say, gently massaging my forehead. Ever since that boy woke me up with the disturbing news, I felt as if someone was repeatedly hitting my head with a fucking hammer. 

"What's wrong, brother? Is Mia okay? " Carl worriedly whispers and I painfully grunt.

"I am still waiting for the doctor. How long until you are here? " I groan clutching at my head. My forehead is sweating and I have no idea what the hell is happening to me. 

"Are you, okay? You don't sound good" I ignore my brother and hang up when the doctor calls for me. 

"Is she okay? " I rush to her ward and carefully sit beside her. 

"She will be okay, the hit didn't cause major damage. She will wake up anytime from now" I take her hand in mine and gently press a kiss on her palm. I can't help but notice how the boy is longingly staring at her. 

Whoever he is, he doesn't stand a chance because I am not going anywhere. I gently rub her tummy and sigh in relief. They are safe.

"Is the baby okay? " I face the woman and she brightly smiles nodding at me. 

"Yes. Are you the father? " I quickly nod and the boy excuses himself out of the room. 

"Congratulations, you are having twins" The woman exclaims, and an involuntary smile breaks on my lips. Just fucking perfect. 

"Can we tell the genders" I eagerly ask and she nods. This is great news.

"We will check when she wakes up. She deserves to share the joy" I agree staring back at my sleeping beauty. I don't think I have ever felt this way before. 

Fuck. I love her with everything in me. I will have to protect her and from now onwards, I will not let her out of my sight ever. 

Another sudden groan leaves my lips and it attracts the doctor's attention. I let go of Mia's hand and hold my head instead. 

"Are you okay, son?" The woman asks holding my shoulders and I shake my head. 

"No. Give me painkillers or something. My head is killing me" I whisper breathing hard. My vision starts fading and It appears as if I am deep in a dream. 

A dream about me.
