Chapter 113

[ALEX]

I knew Mia considered my house a hellhole and while I knew that my job enthralled her in the start, from being disgusted by the bloodshed to being turned on my the man holding the gun, she seemed bored of it now.

Yes, bored. She eyed the guards patrolling the house with a normalcy I disliked, and then looked at me straight and said, “I prefer the

Whitlock house.”

I really had given her too much freedom by letting her speak her mind around me.

Dom, who happened to follow us inside had snickered, covering it up with a cough when I glared at him.

I had given him too much freedom too.

Bored or not, she wasn’t leaving. Life fell into a pattern for the days after that. It had been a month since she lived under my room, and she had gotten used to the daily routine. We had dinner together, and she usually spent the day annoying Lana and baking.

We had sex. A lot of it.

Sometimes, I had a hard day and fucked her against the wall, on the kitchen counter, in the dining room, wherever and whenever I pleased, and my Mia loved it. She took every bit of me like a good girl, and still looked at me with arousal in her eyes for more.

Hospital to home, home to hospital. She has a few friends, and I had the PI do a search on them too.. Everyone’s clean,” He repeated. “There’s no connection between Mia and June except the fact that June works at Bakshi’s hospital.”

“There is something more than that, Dom,” I shake my head. “My gut feeling’s telling me we’re missing something. I don’t believe Mia really spent her free time visiting kids and she likes it so much she actually called June to check on the kids.”
