Third person POV

One year later.

The night was cold and dark, yet the colorful lights from the party brightened up the night, and everyone present was chatting and laughing, even dancing. Everyone had a smile on their face, whether fake or forced, all except one person who had been gloomy and cold all year.

"How much longer do I have to be here?" Alexander asked his assistant for the tenth time this hour, checking his watch impatiently.

"Em... Sir... You still have an hour left," his assistant affirmed with a stammer.

Alexander's cold expression turned even gloomier. One hour. He still had to be here for a whole hour! He tapped his feet impatiently on the floor.

A chauffeur walked past him, and he stretched out his hand to grab a drink from the tray. He gulped it all down at once, putting the glass back on the tray.

"Mr. Alexander..." Two girls dressed in very revealing outfits rushed in front of him. The younger one batted her eyes while biting her lips seductively, while the other, o

    " Fine..." Janice agreed." But I'm only telling you this because I don't also want to go for him..." " Then why are you telling me this?" Verona sighed eying her sister while taking a step back. That was the reason she was suspicious when the girl said she wanted to help her. Janice had an eye for hot guys, and Alexander was smoking." Relax, sis" Janice rolled her eyes. I'm telling you this because despite the fact that he is incredibly handsome and rich... Unlike you I don't fancy being a step mother at such a young age... Plus the guy is way too cold and complicated for me". Good. Verona breathed in relief. She was already competing with so many women for Alexander attention already, she couldn't afford to have one more, talk less her sister. " Okay... Tell me then. Wouldn't it be so cool to have a guy that hot as your brother in law?""Fine... Fine, listen close". Verona leaned in again. " Okay, I heard that Alexander was once nice and friendly and even funny, that was until

    As the bell rang for recess all the kids in the class rushed outside to play, all except one. Lilly was seated in her usual seat, at the very back of the class reading a book when she saw a shadow looming over her. She looked up to see two boys, both her classmates standing in front of her.

    " I heard you saw everything that happened between those two boys and I earlier today, I'm telling the school authorities that I've been bullied " Alexander eyes widened when he heard his daughter's voice from the recorder. Verona secretly smiled. Now she definitely had his attention. " Lilly, If you inform the authorities, other children in the class would just pick up from where those boys stopped. You need a permanent solution, and I can help you with that if you'll allow me." " Ms, I'll go with whatever you decide.

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.

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.

    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.

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..."

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

" 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

"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.

" 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.
