99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 81

After a few minutes of driving, finally Mia arrived at Michael’s apartment. She immediately led the man into the apartment has gone to great lengths to lead him across the corridor to enter.

“You in a very bad state and it’s all because of me,” Mia muttered as she sat Michael down on the gray living room couch.

“It’s better than you suffering from mental illness physically if he managed to rape you,” Michael said in a tone like he was in pain. He leaned his shoulders and rested his head on the sofa, while his hands slowly unbuttoned his shirt. “Sorry I had to take my clothes off because my body wasn’t comfortable.”

“It’s okay. I’ll look for something in the kitchen,” Mia said then stood up. she walked into the kitchen across several rooms, trying to imagine what she would do to make Michael crazy about her. ‘I can’t ask him to make love because now he’s very weak. Maybe I’ll compress the wound, then cook for him, prepare everything he needed,’ she thought with a smile.

In the living room, Michael took out his phone which was tucked away in his trouser pocket. He looked at the clock on the phone that it was 11 p.m., which made him think that it was better for Mia to stay here than go home alone because it was late.

“Maybe I’ll tell Oskar later so he won’t be looking for her,” Michael muttered.

until a few minutes passed, Mia came back to the living room with a container of warm water and a small yellowish-white towel. She sat down beside Michael placing the container on the glass table then immediately wringing out a small towel inside.

“I thought about cooking because I’m sure you must be hungry because since back from the office you’ve been straight to the bar maybe,” Mia muttered while compressing the bruised part of Michael’s temple. “But it’s a shame there are no groceries in the fridge or cupboards.”

“I’m not hungry at all… so you don’t have to bother cooking. But if you are hungry, maybe I’ll order food via food delivery for you,” Michael said occasionally grimacing in pain while compressing the blisters on his face.

“Sorry … .I’ll be more careful,” Mia said with an uncomfortable look.

Michael just nodded, letting Mia compress his face again and again very carefully. Occasionally he glanced at the girl, so close to her, her natural beauty coupled with make-up, seemed to make her more attractive and of course, he began to be tempted.

“Can I ask you something?” Michael asked.

“Of course,” said Mia.

Michael sighed, then straightened his seat. “You once said that you can’t love another man but me. But why are you often with other men these days….even the man who was with you earlier was acting like your lover while you were still sitting chatting with your friends? What’s your relationship?”

Mia sighed. “We don’t have any relationship…I try to be close to him because I think he is good and maybe I can make him my boyfriend. ..we were only close to understanding each other before deciding to commit, but as time went on, I never fell in love with him, I can’t give an answer that I can commit to him.”

“Is that why he got angry and wanted to rape you?” Michael asked.

“Yeah, I guess so,” Mia replied with a crook of her face.

“Then why are you trying to be in a relationship when your heart is still locked to continue to love me?” Michael asked again with a very intense look. he looked down at Mia who was looking down, then touched her chin, making her look up slightly and look into her eyes. “Are you looking for an outlet so you can stop loving me?”

“Ehh ….” Mia removed Michael’s hand from her chin, then she looked away with her head down. “You don’t need to ask much because I think you already know the answer from me. The message that morning was clear enough.”

“Mia… You should understand my situation. At that time I felt sorry for Casey…I keep thinking about how she will be when she wakes up, while we are already very intimate, I always think about her feelings, I always feel sorry for her. I feel I have a debt of happiness to her,” said Michael sadly.

“Until now you still feel it, that means between us will never happen again because I don’t want to expect too much from you,” Mia said then stood up while grabbing her branded bag which was located on the sofa. “Please don’t pay attention to me, because it can make me misunderstand. I don’t want to be too confident, I don’t want to expect you while you belong to Casey and always prioritize her … I’m nobody to you,” she continued then walked towards the main door.

“Mia, wait!” cried Michael as he got to his feet.

Mia continued to walk at a brisk pace, but in her heart said, ‘hope he understands me and then keeps me here.’

“Mia, wait. We have to talk…I want you to know that I feel something different in my heart,” Michael said as he continued walking through the door, seeing Mia who was walking down the corridor. “MIA… MIA, I THINK I LOVE YOU!” he continued by shouting because he couldn’t go any faster to catch up to Mia.

Immediately Mia stopped, fell silent with a smile that soon faded, then turned to look at Michael who was walking towards her slowly. She just stood there, waiting for the man who seemed to be about to confess to her.

“Mia … I told you that this is a very complicated thing, this is about feelings that are difficult to describe,” said Michael when he arrived in front of her. he looks so restless then grabs her right hand and holds it. “I think about you two all the time. I can’t forget that night… I was stressed… I throw my phone away when the moment I got a message from you…I started thinking about who I felt most comfortable with, about who made me the happiest… I thought about who I loved and who I only had pity on,” he continued.

“So?” Mia looked up, looked at Michael who was so serious at her.

“Don’t stay away from me,” Michael shouted.

“Only that?”

“No … Not only that. I want you to be my partner, to be my love … And call it like dating,” Michael explained a little nervously.

“But what about Casey?. I don’t want to be in a relationship with you just because Casey is in a coma, because I’m never ready to get hurt.” Mia let go of Michael’s grip on her hand.

“I want to be the only one, not a shadow … Not a sweetener or an outlet, avoid filler…I want to be fully owned, not to be thrown away after Casey wake up!”

“Mia…”

“You’re still having a hard time making up your mind, right?” Mia asked with a sarcastic smile. “Then let me go.” She continued walking towards the elevator but Michael immediately grabbed her hand.

“Mia, Please don’t go!” cried Michael pleadingly.

“But I …”

“I think this is love, but I have plans for our love,” Michael said before Mia finished her sentence. “Come with me, let’s talk about this and come to a decision tonight…I promise I won’t let you down…”

Mia was silent but her heart was very happy because Michael seemed to be begging her. He accepted the man’s offer to return to his apartment unit, imagining what he would talk about later.. .hmmn, I Wonder What’s Michael’s plan?
