Chapter 163

Chapter 163
Mia  

I open my eyes and gently touch my stomach with a relieved sigh. Thank God I am not dead or in any pain. 

"You are awake" I look beside me and nod at Matt. Fabio, Kayla, and Rico's mother are also here.  

"Oh dear, you got us worried" Rico's mum quickly takes my right hand in hers and Kay takes my left. Both women sit on my sides as they worriedly stare at me.  

"I am, okay" I mutter ignoring the slight headache. I try sitting up and Rico's mum quickly helps me up and places pillows behind me to lean on. This reminds me of the cruel woman who gave birth to me.  

"What happened?" I question looking at Fabio, no one was home when I was attacked.  

"When we took your mum, we were attacked on the way by Maxim's men. We were fighting them when she took the chance to escape with some of the men. We lost them and we didn't know where to search so we went in the wrong direction. When we came home, the guards we left at the house were all tied up in the cell. We didn't find you so I called Carl and he told me you guys are here" 

"Does that mean all of our men are incompetent?" I question in dismay. I am always surrounded but not one of the hundred men in my house was there to protect me. Why do I fucking pay them when they can't do their job?. 

"They were drugged, Mia. One of our men was working for your mother and we identified him from the cameras" Fabio explains and I sadly chuckle. There is always a rat. 

"So, who saved me?"  

"Rico and Matt did. Matt hid in his room during the intrusion and he was the one to alert, Rico"  I stare at the boy who is still worriedly staring at me, and gratefully smile at him. That was close, my mother would have killed me for real. 

"And Rico, Where is he?" I haven't laid my eyes on him yet, and it's unlike him to leave me. Unless he stupidly went after Maxim again.  

"He is in the next room with Carl and the boys. He suddenly blacked out after complaining about a severe headache" His mother explains, and I quickly sit up feeling alarmed. 

No. 

"What happened to him, I am going to see him right now" I start getting up but the woman pushes me back with a soft chuckle. 

"No need sweetheart, he is coming to you and he has good news to share" 

"But you just said.." 

"He woke up minutes ago, the doctor is still checking on him and he will be here after that" Kay explains and I sigh in relief leaning back on the pillows. What could be the good news?  

"What is the news?" I face Kay but she shakes her head laughing slightly. 

"Rico himself will tell you," She says, sharing knowing looks with Mother. Speaking of mother. 

"What happened to that woman?"  

"Rico ended her, we had to, Mia" Matt utters in concern and I nod rubbing my stomach. She was never my mother anyway. No matter how bitter that pill is, I have no choice but to swallow. Even if I don't have blood relations anymore, I am thankful for the people around me. At least I am not alone. 

"Thank you. All of you, thank you for being here" I gratefully tell them, and they stare at me with nothing but concern. 

"We love you, Mia. You can always count on us" Kay whispers, and I quickly fall into her arms and hug her. More arms wrap around us and I sniffle when I realise everyone joined the hug. 

"You are my daughter, honey, and I will always be here. Nothing will change that" Rico's mum whispers, running her hands in my hair and that breaks me. I bite my lip to stop myself from crying but my tears fall freely, landing on Kay's back. I have friends I can trust, a mother who cares, a boyfriend who loves me and I will also be a mum soon. It doesn't matter if everyone else left. 

"Thank you" 

 

Rico. 

"Can I see her now?" I ask the woman running tests on me. I don't feel the headache anymore, and I want to be there when she wakes up. God, I miss my girl like crazy. 

"Now that you remembered shit, you are going to pay for all the stress you caused me," Diego says and I glare at him. I shouldn't have told them. I woke up and Mum was crying beside me, I couldn't just hold it anymore. So I told her and she immediately stopped crying. 

"You can go now..."I don't wait for the doctor to complete the sentence before running out of the room. My baby is carrying our twins and I put her through hell. I need to make sure she is okay. 

Opening the door to her ward, the sight I meet breaks my heart. A crying Mia is embraced by everyone and that causes my heart to squeeze in pain. 

"What's wrong?" I ask approaching the group and they pull away making room for me. "Sweetheart?" The girl looks up at me with wet red eyes and starts crying harder. 

Hormones. 

"Rico?" I carefully pick her up and set her on my lap. 

"Sweetheart, I am sorry I wasn't here for you" I gently kiss her head and hold her head to my chest. I run my fingers through her hair and wait for her to calm down. " I love you so much, baby, I'm never leaving you again" I whisper, repeatedly kissing her head. What was I even thinking leaving a pregnant girl alone to go search for Maxim? I can't believe I was that stupid. 

"You love me?" Mia stops crying and hopefully glances at me. I wipe her tears and nod with a smile. 

"Yes, very much, baby. From the moment I saw you on the dance floor, my heart started beating for you" 

"OMG! Do you remember? You remember us?" She brightly smiles and I nod with a soft chuckle. " Do I have my Rico back now?" 

"Yes, baby. Your Rico is back and he is going nowhere" Mia instantly presses her lips on mine and kisses me vigorously.
