99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 82

Michael invites Mia to rest in his room. He sat on the edge of the bed, while the girl was standing by the large and wide glass window, talking on the phone with her mother.

“I’m staying at my friend’s apartment, Mom. You don’t need to worry, I’m not a kid anymore and there won’t be any problems just because I’m staying at my friend’s apartment,” Mia said seriously.

“Friends who? Boys or girls… You can’t just stay overnight at people’s places… .sometimes even what you say, friend, can do unpleasant things to you…”

“Mom … Never mind. You just trust me. Nothing will happen. Tomorrow early in the morning I will go home, and now I will follow my friend’s event,” said Mia before her mother finished speaking. She made up the story that she was staying because she had an event with her friends, because if she said that she was with Michael, then her mother would scold her because Michael is Casey’s lover.

“All right then. Take good care of yourself,” Jane called over the phone, sounding disappointed.

“Yes, Mom…”

The phone connection is lost. Mia turned back to Michael who was walking towards her at a slow pace, looking at her very seriously, making her suddenly lose the courage to start a conversation.

“Sorry for having to make you make up stories about your mom, but I promise one day you can spend time with me without having to lie without having to be afraid of being found out by others even by Casey,” Michael said in his baritone voice. he took Mia’s hand then pointed at his bare chest, looking so athletic and a little hairy, while his gaze remained fixed on her.

“What do you mean by that?” Mia asked with a frown, slightly looking up at Michael who was much taller than her. “Why did you say you weren’t afraid if Casey found out about our relationship…?”

“Because after Casey wakes up, I’ll slowly leave her and tell everyone that you’re the only one I love, then maybe we’ll get married If you want,” Michael explained very seriously looking at Mia’s gray eyes. “You can feel my heart pounding right now because this is my decision that I didn’t take lightly.”

“So now we’re in a backstreet relationship?” Mia confirmed.

“Yeah..but backstreet or not, it will feel the same because we can continue to be together without them suspecting. I’ll often come over to your house to see Casey, but from now on my main goal is you.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, I will prioritize you over her because you are the one who can make me comfortable and happy. I can’t say to end my relationship with the current one because it will make me look cruel and I also feel sorry for her.. she looked like she was sleeping, but maybe she could hear and feel my presence. That’s why I don’t want to make her sadder by leaving her.” Michael explained very seriously then clasped her hands. “I promise….When she regains consciousness and her condition stabilizes, she can take care of herself, I will leave her and marry you.”

“Really?” Mia couldn’t believe what she just heard.

“Yes, Mia…I’m not a man who can easily get close to women, but you managed to make me comfortable and finally I realized that I need you, I love you while my feelings for Casey might just be compassion and responsibility as a lover who must always take care of him because. now he’s in a coma,” Michael explained confidently then kissed Mia’s hand.”Please don’t try to get close to other men anymore because I’m jealous. I don’t want you to get along wrongly so things like that happen.”

Mia nodded and slowly put a smile on her lips, but the smile faded again because of the dissatisfaction she imagined if Casey continued to be in a coma.

“But what if she stays in a coma-like that, Are we going to go on backstreet all the time? Will our relationship never get serious if he hasn’t woken up? There should be a time limit to publicize our relationship or stay backstreet.” Mia wondered.

“For that, we can think about it together later, the most important thing now is that we have to promise each other to be faithful and start this relationship,” Michael said, joining his right hand with Mia’s left hand which was raised to shoulder height. “Starting tonight, let’s just say that I’m yours, I decided to love you and stop loving her… I’m yours, and you are mine.”

Mia lowered her head with a smile, then wrapped her arms around Michael and rested her head on his broad chest. there was a sense of victory that swept through her heart, not just a victory over the success of winning love, but the success of getting the man of her dreams so far.

“Thank you,” she said spontaneously.

Michael smiled faintly, returning Mia’s hug gently. “You don’t need to say thank you. I’m the one thanking you because you still love me even though you hurt when you see me dating Casey. I love your patience, and I know that maybe it’s called true love ….You love me in silence, but maybe your love is deeper than her.”

Mia kept smiling and tightened her arms on Michael. She didn’t feel her tears just falling, because she was emotional because her love was reciprocated.

Michael let go of his arms then looked down at Mia who was crying a little. He immediately wiped the girl’s tears then kissed her forehead and brushed her hair.

“Don’t cry,” he said.

“I just … .I’m just touched because my love is finally reciprocated,” Mia said, bending her face. “But I’m also crying because this is also wrong because I snatched you from Casey. I’m evil… But I can’t fight this feeling,” continued very hypocritically.

Michael sighed. “Actually I’m the worst here, but I have to decide who is the best for me.”

“I hope you never regret choosing me.”

“Never.” Michael shook his head, then cupped Mia’s cheeks with both hands. he smiled warmly, looked at the girl’s beautiful face very intensely then kissed her lips very gently. “I will never regret because I chose you who never tire of loving me even though you don’t know whether love is reciprocated or not…And of course, I prefer you too. Because my relationship with Casey was often marked by bickering and maybe that was a sign that we weren’t compatible anymore.”

Mia nodded, then hugged Michael very comfortably again. Michael took her to the bed and made her lie down, then kissed her lips gently.

“Michael …” Mia pressed against Michael’s chest, to stop moving away from me and stop the kiss.

“Why?” Michael asked.

“I guess we don’t have to…no need to make love because I know you’re not okay,” replied Mia with a shy smile.

“But I’m still able to satisfy you.”

Mia shook her head with a smile. “No, that can’t be happening. You should rest.”

“But I want to.” Michael insists, is about to kiss Mia but Mia keeps preventing him.

“I don’t want sex tonight because I want to sleep with you comfortably just hugging each other. I want you to be comfortable with me not just because of sex,” she said casually, looking at Michael who was above her. She touched the man’s cheek, then pushed him to sleep beside her and hugged him.

“Well … If you can’t tonight, maybe tomorrow morning,” Michael said with another smile.

“That may be negotiable,” said Mia with a shy smile.. she hugged Michael so tightly, as if she would never let him go, felt like she already owned him and didn’t care if maybe Michael meant it or was just toying with her, and once again she didn’t think about the feelings of Casey who was the owner of the wealth all along he enjoys with her family. huh, what an ignorant girl!
