Chapter 20: The Hearts

Mia Duncan's POV

"Oh. My. god. That's was insane. Totally insane," I said as I was looking straight at the ceiling of the bedroom. Liam was nuzzling my neck as we cuddled after burning a few calories throughout the night. I was panting but also was smiling happily as I can finally see the stars that my colleagues were talking about.

"what are you thinking, love?" Liam asked as he kissed my ear and pulled me closer to him. I was chuckling at his caveman style in the bedroom that I just let him does what he wanted.

"come on, tell me those secrets," he said as he caressed my flat stomach.

"I…I…I have something to tell you," I said as I rolled to my side to face him. My breast was in full view of Liam's eyes.

"what is it?" He asked as he was fondling my breasts back and forth. I can feel that my nipples instantly hard against his caress.

"I found out about the truth of your parents' killer and your father's true identity," I whispered at him. I was waiting for him to lash out on me. I looked at him and he urged me to continue.

"and?" He asked. I sighed as I don't want to tell the truth that might kill our feelings for each other after battering for so long.

"Mia, tell me. I think I can handle it," Liam said chuckling as he saw my reaction before he shut up completely.

"my uncle was the one that killed your father and… and…" I said as I was looking at my fidgeting hands.

"and your father was one of the founders for the organization that I worked for now," I said as I looked into his eyes. He was silent as I looked into his emerald orbs.

"I'm sorry," I whispered as I caressed his face. He was looking at our tangled sheets before his dark eyes were looking into mine.

"I already know about my father and your uncle's involvement in the organization. They were colleagues back in college and best friend at that. My mother was the one that introduced them but it was my father that married her. Your uncle trusted that my mother would be happy with Eric Hunt, but," he said as he was getting up from our cuddling.

"he was also the reason my mum died," he said as he gripped his knuckles until it turned white. I held his hands as I kissed them before putting my head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," I whispered at him. I held his shoulder and his hands.

"I did not know that part. They only have the killings that your father did and my uncle was the one that killed him," I said as I was caressing his broad shoulder.

"he went crazy after his taste of bloodlust and killing. He went out of control and my mum has to suffer it all. She did not want me to worry, that's why she send me to boarding school and when they went to their 5th honeymoon, they…" Liam's voice was breaking before I took her into my arms.

"shh, it's okay, you don't have to say it, I understand. And I'm sorry," I whispered into his ear as I was caressing his hair and he was holding me tightly as he went away with the sobs and the tears and I just sat there, taking all in.

After that little session we have in the bedroom after the act, Liam was acting better than usual. He got up and took me into the shower for our next act.

"You need to learn how to satisfy a man, Mia," he said as he had his wicked way with my body. The panting, grunting, groaning can be heard all the way to the coast of Aegean Sea. Good thing the room was soundproof.

"I have to learn all that. Why?" I asked Liam after he took me out of the shower and was wrapping me in the fluffy towel that as provided by the hotel.

"because, my love, you can never know when your man is changing his heart," he said jokingly before I took the towel and wrapped it around his neck, brought him closer as he can hardly breathe.

"If you ever think of cheating on me, Liam, I swear to God…" I said before Liam continued my dialogue.

"You will kill me with your own bare hands. I get it, love. Can you please release me?" He said as he was choking. I smirked as I knew that his heart only belongs to me and I was to him.

"Good, now kiss me," I said and he happily obliged to my demand.

"what are you smiling about, love?" Liam asked as he served me the omelet that he made. It smelled delicious as my stomach growled. I blushed at how loud it can get. Liam just chuckled as he handed me the fork for eating and I mumbled thanks to him.

"a toast to our better future together and forever," Liam said as he took out the wine glass and poured orange juice in it. I tossed to it as well as our glasses clinked.

"for a better future together," I added before drinking the juice. I put down my glass before picking up a fork to cut the omelet.

"does it taste good?" Liam asked as he was waiting for me to taste his cooking.

"let's see," I said before I took a bit of his veggie and cheese omelet. My eyes went big as a saucer as I chewed the eggs. I chewed and chewed as I swallowed. Liam was waiting for my testimony to see if it's good or not.

"well?" He was fidgeting trying to get testimony from me. I wiped my mouth with a napkin and looked at him seriously.

"well, it's hard to say if it's good or bad," were the words that came out of my mouth before Liam interrupted my speech.

"for god's sake, Mia, just tell me if it's okay or not," Liam burst out as I was trying to construct my words at him. I chuckled as I think he was acting really cute right now.

"really? You're laughing. oh, you are so dead, Mia Duncan," he said as he went to my side and scooped me from the chair. I was laughing really hard as Liam was twirling me around.

"you're such a tease, you know that, Mia Duncan," Liam said as he looked at me dearly in the eyes.

"hmm, no one has ever said that to me. It's either deadly, dangerous or femme fatale. No one has ever said I was such a tease," I said as I looked at him. He was smiling before kissing me as he put me on the ground.

"that's because they did not know you at all," Liam said before the ring of the suite was ringing. We looked at the door as Liam was moving toward the door.

"get ready," he mouthed as he gestured to ready to fight. I went to the other side of the door and get ready. Liam signaled me that he will open the door. As soon as he opened it, Marco was coming through as he was panting and heaving, probably from running.

"Marco, what was going on?" I asked as I saw he was ready to faint.

"Ivan, Ivan… he escaped. I tried to stop him but he escaped from the room, Mia," Marco said as he was panting at me.

"who's Ivan?" Liam asked. He was looking at me and Marco. My face grimaced as what I have fear for the worst has come.

"Ivan was my uncle and with him running the streets right now, there will be hell to pay," I said monotony as I looked at Liam and Marco respectively.

"really? Right now, you decided to call my uncle bitch," I asked him.

"he was scary in person," Marco said in his defense.

"Where will be finding him?" Liam asked the reasonable question. I smiled as I looked at him.

"the warehouse, of course," I said as we went out of the door.

"Wait, should we brought guns?" Liam asked. "I mean, he is psychotic," he reasoned. I sighed as I went out of the door.

"You need to learn more about her, bro," Marco's voice was fading as I walked out faster to make sure that Ivan did not make any more damage than he already has.
