“Why did you run away from home?” Misha asked. He didn’t look at Kia at all when he inquired her.
The question surprised Kia quite a bit, but on second thought, nothing was impossible for Misha.
“That’s none of your business,” Kia said curtly, her head still aching and her eyes heavy. She wanted to sleep, but wasn’t sure if she could sleep peacefully now, with Misha right in front of her like now.
Misha was silent for a moment and then he said something that left Kia quite surprised. “Daniel works for Tordoff’s company.”
Kia gasped as she just stared at Misha’s face for a moment, trying to figure out if what he said was true, but she couldn’t see even the slightest hint of dishonesty in his eyes.
And when she thought about it, why would Misha lie to her? It wasn’t something he normally did and he didn’t have any advantage by doing so.
“It’s his right to work wherever he wants to,” Kia said in a low voice. She looked uncomfortable, despite what she said a few seconds ago.
It had been a long time since she thought about her family and moreover, she didn’t think that her family thought about her either.
“Why did you run away from home?” Mika asked the same question again because Kia didn’t answer him earlier and this made Kia even more uncomfortable. She didn’t want to tell Misha about her past or talk about it when her head felt like it was going to explode.
So she decided to just sleep. “I’m tired, I want to sleep,” Kia muttered. She then closed her eyes and pulled the soft blanket up to her chin.
It had been a long time since she had slept on a bed as soft as this and with a soft and comfortable blanket covering her.
Only, Misha was still not satisfied. He wanted to talk to Kia, but this woman was hellbent on avoiding him. “Did they kick you out of the house because you were pregnant? They know you’re pregnant and that’s why they haven’t been looking for you for the past four years?”
According to the information Misha got, the Kia family was indeed looking for her, but what they were doing could hardly be deemed as putting in serious efforts.
“They kicked you out of the house because you were pregnant with Mika.” It wasn’t a question, but a statement because from how Kia’s expression changed, Misha could tell that what he said was true.
Her family threw her away when she was in need of them and acted as if nothing had happened, because they felt Kia had tarnished their reputation by getting pregnant out of wedlock.
“Should we announce that Mika is my daughter and make her legal?” Misha asked again and this made Kia glare at him. It was obvious that she wasn’t a fan of Misha’s suggestion. “You don’t have to say that she’s not my daughter, because I know that Mika is mine.”
Misha cut off Kia’s words before she could deny that Mika wasn’t his daughter. Even people who didn’t know them could tell how much they resembled each other.
“You don’t have to do anything. I just want to go back to the way it was and for you to stay away from our lives,” Kia hissed. She still remembered very well what happened to her four years ago.
She felt the image of the incident becoming clearer now when she looked at Misha, as if it had just happened yesterday. Maybe it was because of the drugs and the pain in her head, but the heartache came back again and she couldn’t stand it.
“Of course you didn’t think I would do that, did you?” Misha asked calmly. He folded his legs and now looked at Kia seriously.
“I made a mistake four years ago and I’m sorry, I want us to put it behind us and start all over again.” Misha didn’t want to take this lightly, but he couldn’t change what had happened in the past.
He would fix it in the future, but that could only be done with permission from Kia.
But, it seemed that the girl had absolutely no interest at all in starting something new with Misha.
She snorted very sarcastically. “Put it behind? You think I can just let a womanizer like you into Mika’s life? What kind of example can I give her showing you?”
Kia pushed herself up from the bed and glared at Misha. She didn’t want to be near this man, but moreover, she didn’t want this man near her child. He didn’t prove anything by coming back into her life four years later.
He came and just wanted to take over Mika and offer everything that could provide comfort to the child just because he had enough money to do so.
What would Mika be like when she grew up? Kia couldn’t imagine someone like Misha would be able to take care of a child, or educate her or nurture her into an adult with a good personality.
“Kia, can we stop talking about that?” Misha asked. “I want us to be one family.”
Let alone Kia, even Misha himself was shocked when he heard what he just said out loud. Family? Since when did he think of having a family?
On the other hand, Kia could only shake her head in disbelief at what she had just heard. What kind of nonsense was he spouting?
“Am I not clear enough until this second?” Kia said through her gritted teeth, she gripped the blanket around her so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She was trying really hard to contain her emotions. “I don’t want you to be Mika’s father, Misha. I don’t want her to learn that a man can treat a woman as he pleases, the same way you treated me.”
Misha wanted to refute those words, but he didn’t have a single word to say at this point and realized that what he did to Kia was really an asshole move.
He couldn’t say he wasn’t like that, because he was fully aware of what an asshole he was.
“What can I do to make you forgive me?” asked Misha earnestly. He would do whatever it took.
Although for now, Misha still didn’t understand the concept of family that he mentioned earlier. He wanted it. After all, the thought of living together with Mika and Kia was not a bad image.
No, he yearned for such a shadow. He wanted that.
“Get away from us and I’ll consider forgiving you,” Kia said irritably. She felt the pain in her head becoming more and more intense because of this chat with Misha.
If only she could, she wanted to kick this man out of this room, but it was a shame she couldn’t do that, because this was his room while Kia didn’t have the strength to do that.
Physical contact with Misha was not an advantageous situation for Kia right now.
“I can’t grant that request of yours.” Misha shook his head, as if regretting that he couldn’t grant the condition. “You should try asking for something else.”
Kia gritted her teeth hard and tried to get out of bed, but Misha moved much faster than her and pushed her body back onto the bed with a gentle push.
Kia struggled to try and get up again, but Misha grabbed her shoulders and made her lie on the bed, rendering her unable to put up any resistance.
“Think of another request. Do you want a house, money, or an investment? I can give you everything,” Misha said.
Usually women would be very happy when they heard this and immediately smile while listing out a series of unreasonable requests about what they wanted, but that didn’t seem to be the case with Kia, because she looked at him very cynically and sharply.
“Get out of my sight!” growled Kia angrily. She was very annoyed when she saw their position, with Misha hovering above her holding her hands by her sides. This position was very uncomfortable and would lead to wrong speculations if someone suddenly entered the room, but it seemed that was Misha’s last concern.
“I don’t want to,” he said curtly. He frowned, as if what Kia said was a very unreasonable thing. “There’s going to be a party for the Tordoffs in two weeks from now, I’d like you to come with me.”
If at first Kia doubted that Misha was crazy, then now she no longer doubted it. She wanted this man out of her life and not bother her anymore, but the solution he offered was to introduce her to the people in the Tordoffs?
He seemed out right crazy.
“I would never come to an event like that,” Kia hissed, but the look in Misha’s eyes seemed to challenge her to do otherwise.
=========================
“I had urgent business last night, so I couldn’t come to the specified restaurant,” said Misha to Daniel.
The first thing Misha did when he got to his office was to call Daniel and explain why he couldn’t come last night to the restaurant at the promised time.
Daniel smiled amiably and shook his head, not thinking it was worth bringing up.
“No need to say that, your business must be very important,” said Daniel.
“Thanks for understanding, because it’s true, the business I have to deal with is very important.” Saying this, Misha looked at Daniel with judgment.
