Chapter 843 Honeymoon Over

Chapter 843 Honeymoon Over

After Tom had slept off, Lucy remembered that she has promised Mia that they could give Sonia and Bryan a call after dinner, so she quietly got out of bed and picked up her phone.

She moved silently as she walked out of the bedroom, careful not to disturb Tom's sleep since she knew he was feeling pretty exhausted.

Once she got into the hallway, she called Sonia on Whatsapp and waited patiently for her to receive the call.

"Hey! Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Sonia asked the moment the call connected.

"I should. How are you?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Hm. I'm fine. Just that Bryan insists on no phones and stuff. I can't even write. And he is scowling at me right now as I'm talking to you," Sonia said and Lucy sighed.

"I understand. And let him know I apologize for intruding on your personal time. I won't call again after now. But it's about Mia..."

"What happened to Mia?" Sonia asked in alarm as she sat up.

She would have called Mia by now to check on you, just that she submitted her other phone to Bryan and only this one which Lucy and her editor could reach were on.

"Calm down. Nothing happened to her. At least not yet. And hopefully nothing will happen to her. She moved in with us. She wants to talk to Bryan. You know, like tell him everything. Did you tell him about it already?" Lucy asked and Sonia glanced at Bryan who had been staring at her with a worried frown since she mentioned Mia.

"No. Let me ask him if he can talk to her. I will call you back in five," Sonia said before hanging up.

"What happened to Mia?" Bryan asked watching her.

"She moved in with Tom and Lucy," Sonia said and Bryan frowned.

"Why? What for? Did something happen at their apartment? What about Jeff?" He asked, different thoughts running through his head.

"She wants to talk to you. I think she wants to tell you what's going on. I know you said no calls and all, but I think we should call Lucy back so you talk to her," Sonia said and a worried line formed on Bryan's forehead.

"Okay. But why don't we call her instead? Why Lucy?" Bryan asked and Sonia shrugged.

"That way you don't have to turn on your phone or break the law. See how my emergency phone comes in handy?" She asked with a grin and he scowled.

"Call her then," he said and Sonia dialed Lucy's line.

"He will talk to her," Sonia said and Lucy who was already downstairs and standing in front of the guest room knocked on the door.

"Mia, it's Lucy," she announced so that Mia wouldn't be too startled that someone was at her door by that time of the night.

"Lucy?" Mia asked as she opened the door, "Is everything okay?"

"You wanted to talk to Bryan. He is on the phone," Lucy said as she handed the phone to Mia.

"I will be waiting at the dining," Lucy said before walking away to give Mia the much needed privacy.

"Bryan?" Mia called as she returned inside the bedroom and shut the door behind her.

"Yes, Mia. I'm here. What is this I'm hearing about you moving in with Tom? Did something happen between you and Jeff? Why did you leave the apartment?" Bryan asked curiously.

"No. Nothing happened. Everything is fine," Mia rushed to assure him.

"I have you all in my corner. I had no one three years ago, but now I do, and he doesn't know it. I know Henry Rosewood but he doesn't know me. He knew Vanessa, but he doesn't know anything about Mia. I am confident that things will be different this time. I am playing to win," Mia said and Bryan frowned.

"You never can tell how much he has also changed in the last three years. You shouldn't be so confident that you know what you are getting into," Bryan warned.

"Some things never change, Bryan. I didn't call so you can change my mind. I wanted to let you know I might not be here when you get back and the reason. And to also bid you and Sonia goodbye," Mia said and Bryan scowled.

"Why are you saying goodbye? If you plan to win against your ex-husband, don't you plan to come back here? We will be waiting, so it shouldn't be goodbye," Bryan said and Mia smiled.

"I may not have to work for you when I come back. Working for you has been frustrating," Mia said and Bryan smiled.

"I have enjoyed working with you and I hope you work with me again when you get back. I promise to cause you less headache. I'm sure it will be easier to keep the promise now that I'm married," Bryan said and Mia rolled her eyes.

"If you were married to someone else, I would have believed you, but Sonia is even more crazy than you. Where is Sony? I need to talk to her so I can give the phone back to Lucy. It's pretty late over here and not all of us are honeymooning," Mia said and Bryan chuckled as he rose to go get Sonia.

"So, what if he doesn't come to get you, Mia? Or should I call you Vanessa?" Bryan asked as he walked out of the bedroom.

"No. Vanessa is dead. I'm Mia. And I know he will come," Mia said confidently.

"Babe, Mia wants to talk to you," Bryan said when he saw Sonia pacing at the balcony of their suite.

Sonia quickly took the phone from him, "What's going on, Mia? Why are you going back to him? Did he threaten you?" Sonia asked, worry coloring her voice.

"No. It's my own decision. Thank you, Sonia. Thank you for being a sister I didn't know I needed, and for being a good friend..."

"Don't do that, Mia," Sonia hissed.

"Don't do what?"

"Stop sounding like you are saying goodbye and I'm not going to see you again," Sonia said and Mia sighed.

"I won't be here when you get back..."

"So, you said. I want to know what you plan to do, Mia. Tell me," Sonia said and Mia went on to tell her what she planned.

The writer in Sonia didn't take too long to process the wisdom in her plan, "I think it's a genius idea," Sonia said and Bryan frowned while Mia smiled.

"I guess reading so many crime novels is paying off after all," Mia said and Sonia sighed.

"I'm going to think more on your plan and see a way to make sure it works perfectly, okay? But promise me you will be fine. You know you are my sister," Sonia said, and Mia nodded as tears of gratitude gathered in her eyes.

"I promise," Mia said and Sonia sighed as she hung up.

"Before you get mad and say..."

"I think we should go home," Bryan said, and Sonia frowned.

"Why? You are cutting short our honeymoon because you are mad at me for keeping this away from you? I only knew about it on our wedding day and I didn't know how to bring it up. We said we were going to focus on us and not talk about anything else..."

"Quit rambling. I'm not mad. Disappointed, yes. But not mad. I want us to send her off properly if she is leaving with him. I consider Mia a friend to me, and I know she is a friend to you too. I haven't been a good friend to her, but I want to at least see her off when she leaves. Is that okay?" Bryan asked and Sonia nodded.

"Totally. She needs us too. I would like for us to see her off. We can always go on a vacation some other time, but we don't know when next we might see her," Sonia said and Bryan smiled.

"Relax while I pack our bags."
