Verona's POV" What are you saying Verona? I thought you didn't want this plan to even work?" Victoria asked looking at suspiciously. I coughed, looking away from her. I couldn't let her know I planned on using her plan to get closer to Alexander and possibly help him get his revenge on her later. " I just" I cleared my throat. " I just can't believe Mia would turn her back on you guys, I thought you all had this planned. "Victoria sighed shaking her head. "I thought the same thing too. I was actually starting to like that daughter of a bitch, but then this. I heard from the head kitchen maid, which is my informant in the house that Mia and Alexander are getting to close to each other". What?" We... We can't let that happen. What if, what if she snitches on you guys? "' And Alexander forgives her? ' I kept the rest of my questions in my head and I pondered on what to do next, pacing across the room. " Em... What if, what if we just em... Tell Alexander the truth now?" Victori
Verona's POVI woke up the next morning with a huge smile on my face.I had spent the entire night thinking of how to execute my plan, and thankfully just in the early hours of morning I had an idea. After going about my daily morning routines which was a bit uncomfortable because of the cut on my leg, I went outside only to see the broken pieces of bottles still scattered on my floor. "Shit". I cursed remembering that I was yet to clear the place. That Mia girl really got to my nerves this time. Whatever, she was going to be taken care of soon enough. I went back to my room to pick up my phone. " Send someone over to my apartment to clean it, I won't be home so the keys are in the flower vase outside". I said to the person I dialed on the phone before ending the call as soon as I was done talking. " Now, the first stage of my plan, get Mia out of Alex life, is a go". I muttered to myself as I left my apartment to Victoria's house. ..." Hey, what are you doing here? " Victori
Alexander's POV"I'll just go visit Amelia, I don't want her to be lonely all alone in the hospital". Mia said to me as she came down from the stairs to stand beside me. It was Monday morning and I was getting ready to go to work when Mia just suddenly came down, looking beautiful in a bright pink crop top and black jeans which showed off her long slender legs. I smirked admiring the beauty in front of me. After the stunt Josh pulled off two days ago, Mia and I have gotten closer, though I was yet to fully confess my love to her, but it was obvious she knew. I made it really obvious. We hadn't done anything yet, apart from kissing and hugging, but I just couldn't help but love her more every passing day. "Hey Alexander, stop drooling I'm talking sbout something serious". She said with a light chuckle gently pushing my shoulder. I snapped out of my daze on her face and pouted. " Why do you have to go? "" What is that? You know Amelia is all alone in the hospital, like I said I d
Alexander's POVMy eyes went back up to Josh. Could this be his plan?" The note says who you're really living with " I stated and it took a while for Josh to understand what I meant. His eyes widened and he immediately shook his head. " Do you think... I didn't, I didn't send this ". He asked in disbelief and hurt. "I don't want to suspect you, but you gave me every reason to two days ago when you came over to my house and yelled at Mia". I said calmly to him. " But I apologized sir, I didn't do this ". I sighed breathing out deeply. " Play the recording. " I ordered after a while. Josh hesitated staring at the recorder. "But, I'm not your employee any longer and...""If you say one more word". I threatened and he immediately shook his head and clicked on the button. " By the way Victoria, how about Mia? Have either you or that half brother of yours, have you both heard from Mia since yesterday?" A familiar voice came out of the recorder. Who was that? I wondered plopping my
Mia's POVI smiled watching Amelia's sleeping face as I tucked her in. I was just coming back from the doctor's office and he confirmed that she had been showing enormous progress. " You hear that Amelia, you are going to be fine". She was out of coma and harm's way. The doctor even confirmed that she might wake up in a few hours. I smiled again staring at her beautiful face. The bruises on them had subsided greatly and her pale face had regained some color. " I've always known you were a fighter. And I'm glad you came back to me, to Lilly and to Alexander". I sighed looking away from her and around the hospital room. She has been moved from the ICU unit yesterday night and was transferred to this ward, that was if it could be called that. It was bigger than my entire apartment back when I was in queens. And apart from the IV tube by the side of the bed, and the few other medicines on the cabinet, it would be almost impossible to point out that this was a hospital. " The room
Mia's POVAnother tear slipped away from my eyes and I smiled wryly. " I still remembered what she said. ' This is all your fault you little devil, I should have never listened to your father and just aborted you. If your dad dies, it's going to be all your fucking fault! ' then she shoved me again, and began pleading to the doctor to save my dad's life "I brought my hands to my face wiping my tears. " Thankfully my aunt, my dad's sister, sent money for the surgery and my dad got back on his feet in about a week, but I never forgot what she said ". " When I tried to get close to my dad after he recovered, he just looked away and ignored me while my mother smirked. It was then I understood that she had finally gotten into his head. She turned the only family members I thought I had on my side against me. Or maybe I was the one who did it. "I stared at space the same feeling reminiscing how I felt back then. " My older sister, she tried to love me, she tried to make me feel loved, bu
Mia's POV" I had no idea you were the one coming to pick me up". Lilly said in an amused tone as she followed me out of the school."Neither did I". I said with a shrug. I was not supposed to be the one to pick her up, but I wanted to. After speaking for that long with Amelia, I wanted to talk to a person that would respond. Don't get me wrong I had fun talking to Amelia, but as good of a listener she was, I hated seeing her so silent. So to cheer myself up, I decided to hang out with the most talkative person I knew, Lilly. I almost did a double take when I saw her school. I had to check the address Alexander sent me again, and even darn map I followed here just to be sure. The place was like one of those Disney princess school, like that animated Disney cartoon, Sofia the First. " Did daddy send you? " She asked before immediately shaking her head. " Forget I asked that. "Forget? Why?I stopped in my tracks, which made Lilly that was walking right next to me stop too. " What
Alexander's POV...FEW HOURS BEFORE MIA CAME IN... " Sir, this is the washed audio " Josh respectfully dropped the recorder on my desk before taking a step back, his head still bent low in a bow. I looked down at the recorder before picking it back up from my desk.After the incident with the anonymous recorder and me unfiring Josh, I just couldn't continue my peaceful day in the office any longer.I stood up, picked up my jacket from the chair and walked out of the office. Unlike how I came into the office, I left using my personal elevator so none of the staffs saw me leave. I just couldn't get pass the fact that Mia might actually be working with Gregory. The thought consumed me to the point I just stood by my car thinking of reasons the woman I loved so much would choose to betray me, and sincerely, I didn't find any reasonable one. After leaning on my car and staring at space for over an hour, it became obvious to me that driving in the condition I was in would be a problem,
Mia's POV"Ladies and gentlemen, the renowned artist who came hand in hand with the owner of ALM industries and Hamilton's Enterprise, Mia Andres ". The master of ceremonies of the event announced as I walked on the red carpet and into the event hall. Claps sounded from every corner of the room, and I smiled, waving the guest with my left hand, while my right was held by Alexander who was walking right beside me. " O. M. G, that's Alexander Hamilton". A group of women exclaimed jumping up and down like over excited teenagers. " Really? He is so hot!" Another person in their group said eyeing Alexander. I held his hand even tighter in mine before throwing the women a small smirk and then walking pass them with Alexander and Josh who was behind him. We walked pass them, and after a few more minutes of waving, settled at a far corner. " Imagine how those girls were looking at you just now " I huffed, still glaring at them. " It was almost as if they wanted to eat you alive ". Alexa
Mia's POVHe was here, right here. He came for me. I stared at Alexander who also was staring back at me.His black orbs were staring straight at me as we walked forward. For the first time since I knew him, I was able to read every single emotion in them. Anger, hurt, worry, guilt... And the one I had gotten so familiar with over the last few days before Verona destroyed everything, love. " Alexander". I muttered as I blinked back the tears that had began forming again in my eyes. " Mia, are you alright?" Alexander asked walking towards me. When Gregory and Killian dragged me here, I didn't cry. After getting slapped by both of them, I still didn't cry. Even when my hands felt numb because I've been up here for a few hours now, I still didn't cry... But now, just seeing Alexander's face and hearing his voice which was filled with so much concern for me, and my were already getting teary. " Stop right were you are " Gregory commanded pulling a gun from behind his pants. " Wha
Mia's POVMy cheeks stinged even more and I winced in pain growling under my breath. My entire face felt so sore. Why wouldn't it, in the last hour I had been slapped more than five times by Gregory's huge hands. It was a miracle my head was still stuck to my body right now. And my hands... I wiggled my hands which were handing just above me firmly tied together with a strong rope. The only difference from how I looked right now and a picture of a madman being hanged... Was the fact that my head wasn't the one on the rope. My face had begun to swell from the constant slaps, while my hair which I had previously tied in a pony tail was scattered around my face looking so disheveled. I sure as hell didn't think this was exactly what was going to happen after I left the old lady's house. It has taken me a bit over an hour to get here because of how late it was and how hard it was to find a taxi, and after I did arrive what welcomed me was a hot slap from Killian!My face was pushed
Alexander's POV" What makes you think I care about here?" I growled at Gregory on the phone. I was just with Amelia in the hospital, who had surprisingly woken up when I got a call from the bastard.He said he has Mia and was going to kill her... Why was I going to care about that? I thought.But the truth was that I immediately became terrified." Dear brother, I heard a good source that you're in love with this woman, so... I think you do care ". Gregory said sounding nonchalant. I could bet he had a smirk on his face right now.I clutched my phone tightly and I gritted my teeth in anger.This sounded way to fake to be true.Mia was working for him, she was his ally, why on earth would he kidnap her?" Mia is in my hands, and I advise to come quickly, or else..."

Mia's POVAs soon as I saw the door close, my eyes went back to the food on the table and I rushed it into my mouth. "Uhmm..." I moaned in delight. It was fucking delicious. Or was it just because I hadn't had anything to eat since morning. My stomach had started to hurt, but instantly calmed down as the food went down my stomach. " I did not die from a heart break, I did not die from a car crash, there is no way I'm dieing from ulcer ". I said to myself, taking more bites of the delicious porridge in front of me. After I left Alexander's house, my ulcer cramps became worse. Because I was an artist and public figure, I wasn't allowed to eat much, sometimes not at all, all for the same reason, ' you have to maintain your figure 'For fuck sake I have had this figure even before I became famous and rich. My stomach had suffered a lot, and even after coming here, I hadn't had time to just treat myself to a good meal. Though the ones I ate at Alexander's this past few days, were ama
Mia's POV" You can sleep here for the night Ms". I walked into the small room, but not before flashing the old lady a thank you smile.She turned around to leave, but hesitated turning back to face me " Please, whatever is bothering you, I doubt it's worth you taking your life. " Actually it is. But I kept my mouth shut and just nodded, forcing a smile to my face. The old lady smiled back and then left, leaving me alone in the small room. "Oh shit " I cursed collapsing on the bed. Few hours ago I had walked out to the road, willing to end everything, my entire life... When suddenly I heard someone yell at me to quickly cross. It was then I became aware that I was in the middle of an high way, surrounded by fast moving cars. All the feeling of suicide disappeared from me almost instantly and got replaced with fear, fear of death. It took my almost ten minutes to cross the damn road, and thankfully I did because a huge truck began passing though. If I was still there at that t
Gregory's POV"Mia? No ". The lady shook her head. This time she was trembling for real, so that meant she was lying. I snickered shaking my head with a small smirk on my face. "You gave her a head up didn't you?"She dropped the pretense, and her face turned stern. "This wrong. What you're doing, and I just wanted to help "Help? I laughed shaking my head. " How is it in your position to help? "Killian grunted behind me in annoyance. " Should I take care of her boss? " He asked with a small whisper, and I could tell the receptionist heard it because she began moving backwards I moved forward copying her steps, and she kept on walking backwards until her back touched the desk and she couldn't go any further." You people... You people can't do anything to me. I'll..." Her hands moved around the desk probably looking for her phone. Oh I was right. The second she got it, she waved it at me, " I'll call the police if you come any closer ". "Police?" I snorted in laughter. " Should
Gregory's POV" Killian, I promise you that after this is all done, and I'm sitting on the Hamilton's throne, I'll give you Mia to play with " I said all of a sudden as we walked into the hotel. " Mia? " Killian repeated looking surprised. " What do you mean? "I glanced at my usually emotionless bodyguard who now had a pink stain on his cheeks. He looked away when he noticed my gaze on him. " I'm not blind, I've noticed that you harbor designs on her for a long time now"Though Killian tried to hide it, I could tell he wanted Mia. Who wouldn't? The girl has an amazing body figure and the face to match. " But Ms Mia is your woman boss, I wouldn't dare ". Killian argued shaking his head firmly. " You already have, and I don't mind it. " I stated. " After I've defeated Alexander, Mia would be of no use to me any longer. I would most definitely kill her, but I wanted my longest bodyguard to have his wish with her first ". I said nonchalantly. If the new plan works, Mia would litera
