Chapter 165
Mia. 

After making the phone calls, the guys decided to meet up at Rico's for further discussions. I am lucky because all of them agreed without a second thought. 

"Should we check now?" Rico begs and I shake my head in refusal. He is more eager than I am.

"No. Let it be a surprise, Rico. We will know their genders when I give birth" I sweetly smile at him and he frowns instead. I am going to frustrate this man until he gives up on getting me pregnant again. 

"But what about buying baby stuff? You know we should start preparing earlier, right?" I wish I shared the same enthusiasm for kids as my man does. He will be a perfect father, just like mine. However, both of us should be okay with every step we are taking. 

Rico needs to consider what I want in this life too. I have been living in a criminal world all my life. I am about to liberate myself, and I should be able to enjoy the freedom of a free world without having to pop out babies every now and then. I wanna enjoy my young years too.

"Okay, I can think about it if you promise me one thing" My smile doesn't waver and Rico quickly shakes his head. 

"No fucking way, I am going to be patient" I laugh, but I feel the opposite inside. He knew what I was going to ask before I did. I won't give up though, I will make sure my goal is achieved. If he doesn't consider, I am afraid I won't be able to give him what he wants.

"Let's go home. I am craving your food" I rub my tummy and he chuckles picking me up. 

"Whatever you are thinking in this pretty head, it won't work baby. I am a resilient man" Rico amuses, kissing my head. 

" And I always get what I want, always" I peck his cheek and he smirks at me. Almost like a silent promise. Okay, Mr. Moreno, let's see who will win this game of the two. 

 

Rico's home is more joyous than ever.

Men are scattered everywhere and the aroma of fried chicken is calling out for me. 

" Is there a party going on here? " I whisper looking around through the window. How first did they assemble?

"That's mum for you. She thinks we should celebrate my recovery and the twins. She is the most excited. Oh! And she is dying to know their genders" 

" Why don't you grant her wish, Rico? Just a word from you and everything will work as magic" Rico chuckles and steps out to open the door for me. 

"Do you hate me that much? Tell you what? How about we revisit this topic later when we are married? But for now, let's just enjoy the moment, yeah? " Rico takes my hand and I nod. 

"Yeah, that's better" I mutter, feeling relaxed. At least that will be years from now and after the needed negotiation. Also, Until I complete my dream home and ensure I have peace with everyone, I am not rushing into anything. 

"Boss, sorry we were caught off guard" Neera and Niko's guards meet me halfway, and I groan untangling myself from Rico. 

Just a little patience and I won't need security to freely walk around or peacefully sleep in my own home. 

"I will join you in a minute, babe" I peck Rico's cheek and motion for the guards to follow me. After moving to a more secluded area, I gesture for Neera to continue with her explanation. 

"Sorry for being incompetent, boss," She says and I eye all the men that don't know a thing about doing their job. 

"I understand. You don't have to follow me around anymore. You can go back to the club Neera"I face Niko's guys and they quickly look away "I will call Nikolai, so you can go now" I take a step after dismissing them but Neera quickly grabs my hand.

"Mia, I am sorry but please, give me a chance to prove myself, okay? " She pleads when the guys leave and I feel pity for her. 

She was sold into slavery when she was twelve years old. She worked as a sex slave for eight years and when we found her, she had given up on herself. 

I know working in the club under men's lustful eyes reminds her of her previous life but in this world, we can't afford mistakes. I am also not that cruel to let her suffer. 

"Look Neera, apart from this job, what else can you do? " I gently hold her shoulders and stare into her teary eyes. 

"I don't know. I didn't even finish school, Mia. All I know is what you taught me" Her voice trembles and I quickly pull her in a hug when a tear slips.

I am handing the mafia to Fabio, he will be able to take care of her if he is able to reciprocate her feelings. She won't suffer anymore.

"Did you get to talk to Fabio? " I pull away and use my fingers to wipe her tears. 

"Yeah. And he turned me down before I could even complete the sentence" My eyes widen at her words and I regret asking her. "He said he has no time for relationships, and if he did, I am not near the type of a woman he wants," Neera says sadly chuckling. 

That is unlike Fabio, or maybe I just don't that part of him. That was so rude.

"It's better knowing than keeping your hopes high. The right person will surely find you, Neera. You can keep your job, but be careful from now on, okay? "

"I will, I promise" Neera beams hugging me again, and I wonder why that dufus doesn't see how pretty she is. It's his loss. 

"Let's go. I need to feast ASAP" I rub my stomach and we chuckle heading to the house. 

"Long time, Mia" Ed, Rico's cousin approaches us and I groan again. Does no one care that I am hungry? That reminds me of that idiot Marcello. I haven't seen him since the day he lied to me. "And congratulations" He pats my back and pulls away. 

"Yeah, you should follow their lead" 

"I know. Maybe you should introduce me to one of your hot friends" He says eying Neera and I roll my eyes pulling her away with me. 

Men will just be men. 

However, before we can enter the house, a figure from a distance catches my eye. 

Sean the fucking cop.
