CHAPTER 111: BACK IN PLACE

Ryan had gotten into his car immediately he received the call from Jason and just when he was about to enter his car,matt came running to tell him about the meeting he had . Ryan ignored him but knew his assistant can either postpone the meeting or take over in his absence.

He couldn't describe the anticipation that bubbled up in his chest,it felt like forever as he wanted to see her and here her voice. Initially he wanted to stay by her side all through today but he couldn't neglect the company,while making sure she was in good hands he left for the company.

On his way as 'luck' would have it,there was traffic that delayed him but now he was here.

He couldn't describe his happiness and he immediately rushed to hug her , embracing her in his warmth,a wave of relief washed through him , glad that she was alright.

"sorry I took so long " he apologized in a low voice kissing her by the side of her head,mia smiled "I missed you"

"Me too" Ryan pulled away then caressed her face, whilst looking at her lovingly " are you feeling better?" he asked with worry while scanning her,she had already lost weight and was looking a little pale and weak " I better, thanks to the bitter medicine,you don't have to worry the others already fed me food ".

Ryan took her hand in his and replied "I know they have but I still need to see and hear for myself how you are doing " he said to her,it would be a lie if he said she hadn't come to his mind all through the day. She was one more person in his life he wishes not to loose, especially now that things were now getting solved and better. He had made sure his grandfather was sent back to his mansion to relax,he was already old and didn't need to stress himself out.

"Did I worry you?" Mia asked , feeling him caress her cheek,she knew ryan had saved her at a risk of his life, somewhere she felt like she had been a burden but at the same time mia couldn't deny sbe wanted him to save her if not someone else , Ryan replied with " worry is an understatement,the word ' scared ' can't even describe what I felt ".

Mia felt a strong emotion inside her and it was enough to want to make her cry but she held it in and without warning Ryan captured her lips catching mia by surprise who was soon quick to respond to him. It was one that was rough and passionate almost demanding and mia kissed him back with the same Intensity but ber breathing soon turned labored as now she wasn't able to breathe properly , it wasn't because she couldn't keep up but because she was still weak

Ryan immediately pulled away and apologize "I'm sorry" he brushed his thumb on her lips ,mia didn't say anything and only nodded her head. She can still feel his lips on hers and faint blush appeared on her cheek which Ryan didn't miss. Mia already knew that Ryan wasn't going to go back to work for the rest of the day and she wasn't even planning to convince him to go, truth be told,she wanted him by her side and she didn't see the problem in being a little selfish with him.

"What happened to Sasha's parents?" Mia asked , staring at their interlocked fingers. Ryan sat beside her on the bed while she rested her head on his shoulder. She had seen what happened to Sasha and even though mia didn't like her,she didn't want the woman to die regardless of her plans to kill her in the past. And no matter how she thinks about it ,she realized Sasha only paid for what she did.

Ryan responded "they are left with nothing, their daughter is dead doesn't mean they can't pay for their deeds after all they involved with the entire thing that has happened so far" the man didn't show any hint of sympathy as he spoke.

"What about their properties and company?" there were either two choices in her mind, either Ryan let the company to go full bankrupt or he transferred everything to someone,but mia didn't know which, either choices has the equal chance if happening. When she was asking these questions to the other family members,no one had answered her and told her to ask Ryan instead as he's the one who handled everything including her own company and she was grateful he filled up for her absence.

"everything is Carl's name" Ryan replied

Confused she asked "Carl?"

Ryan smiled and responded "he's young but fit to handle the company and save it from it's already falling state, there's no need for you to worry, things are slowly falling back into place and I know he won't help the ones who hurt us".

Mia knew that too,Carl had been neglected and treated badly before that made him despise his father, even though the young man had sometimes wished to be love,his wishes never did come true and he grew to be satisfied with ones who have cared for him.

"I'm just glad everything is over"mia hummed the kissed runa in his cheek who responded by kissing her back on the head.

There was a comfortable silence between them as they have each other's presence to keep them company. Mia felt her lids turned heavy, thanks to the medicine she has been fed ,she felt sleepy and let out a long yawn before closing her eyes while in Ryan's arms
