Mia's POV " You want to drive? Really Mia, that's too much". Gregory exclaimed shaking his head in defiance.I flinched at how loud his voice was. He has almost never raised his voice on me, only on rare occasions. It was either Alexander got in his head, or he noticed that I already knew his worst enemy. I brought my hands up to his shoulder to calm him down. Being with him for almost a year now had thought me a lot of tricks. " Look... " I began in a calm sweet voice. " I know you're annoyed you saw me with your half-brother, but he came to meet me saying he wanted to get away from the party and that was all, I didn't even know who he was until you introduced him". Well, I didn't know you two were related until you said so, but no need to add that. " You two were standing so close to each other and..." " And nothing ". I interrupted. " We hardly even said anything to each other. I was just surprised to see such a handsome guy away from the party ". I added. Gregory stared at
Mia's POVLilly kept silent and kept her head focused on the road, refusing to answer my question. "Do you think I'm joking? Answer my question Lilly " I questioned still keeping my eyes on the road. I couldn't go back to the hotel I was staying at because it was the same one Gregory was lodged in though different rooms, obviously, but could probably not come back.He was with his family, the people who he had always wanted to be among... This was so stressful. I looked at Lilly who was now looking at her hands which was on her laps. " Lilly, I know your dad can be too much at times, so I won't just blame you for whatever is happening right now, but you got to tell me what happened if not I can't help you". I muttered in a low voice but loud enough so she would hear me. Although my previous resolution, Alexander drove me mad to the point I left his mansion in the middle of the night while a party was going on, it was no doubt he could do the same to his own daughter... But why? A
Few hours agoAlexander's POV I glared at Mia's and Gregory retreating back until they were completely out of sight. What was she doing with him!My phone rang interrupting my glare and I picked it up without looking at the ID. "Whoever this is better have a very good reason for calling, if not you're fired". I declared still staring at the path Mia and Gregory took even though they were no longer there. "Boss, em... The little miss, she, she's missing". What!My eyes widened and I pierced my eyes away from the empty space I was looking at, bringing the phone down I checked the ID caller. It was one of the house guards. " What did you just say?" I asked in a low and dangerous tone. They better not be serious, but if this was a joke... This person is dead!" Boss, we... We've searched everywhere for her, but..."My hand holding my phone grew tighter and I shut my eyes, before opening them again. "Since when?" I asked I asked as I began walking out of the garden. " We only dis
Alexander's POVIt was getting really dark out. The lights from the street and some shops lights were the only thing stopping the entire city from plunging into complete darkness, and Lilly was still nowhere to be found. I shut my eyes tightly before opening it back again. That Alice should better pray I find her, if not..." Boss we're here" Josh exclaimed parking the car in front of a shop. I had some of my men ask around if they had seen a little girl around here, though most of them were incompliant immediately but as soon as they were given money, their mouths opened like a leaking tap, and they said they saw a little girl wearing expensive and good looking clothes walk into that shop."Sir, should I go interrogate the shop owner?" Josh asked coming to stand beside me at the foot of the shop. I shook my head. " Let's go in together, I want to see the person". Josh nodded and we walked inside the shop, with him opening the door for me. The guy was too much of a gentleman, and
Alexander's POV"My hands... No, no I already told you everything I know, please". He begged holding his hands tightly into a fist. I smirked taking a step away from him and talking another huge drag from the cigarette. "Please... Please..." The begging increased as Josh left his back and walked towards him. "No...." The brother yelled as Josh held his first had and twisted it sharply to the back. Then he did the same thing to the other one, but yet I still wasn't satisfied. "Lau out his hands. " I ordered and Josh dragged both hands that were already dislocated and laid them on the floor. The sound of bones breaking and the man shouting could be heard from a mile away as I stepped on both his hands crushing the bones with my feet. " Noooo". He cried making my roll my eyes. Pitiful, that's his punishment for laying his filthy hands on my daughter, my Lilly. " Boss your phone is ringing". Josh said removing his hands from his pockets and bringing out my phone. I checked the ID,
Mia's POV I laughed again shaking my head at Lilly. She had been telling me all what had happened in my one year absence and now my feet was barely holding me up. "No seriously, Mia. This was the first time I've seen a man go crazy without actually looking the part..." She shook her head and shuddered. "It was terrible". I smiled bringing a hand to my hair and removing the pin that kept the bun in place. My hair cascaded down my face and down to my back. "Oh my goodness... Your hair is so long now" She exclaimed standing up from the sofa and walking towards me." Hey... " Lilly touched my hair, her blue eyes sparkling. Then she walked around me sizing me up, her eyes still holding the same sparkle. " And your dress, why am I just noticing this now? Where are you coming from young lady? " She asked crossing her hands on her chest and staring at me like an over protective mother.I giggled brushing my long hair back with my hands. " From somewhere ""Mia tell me. You're dress looks
Mia's POVI sighed again for the fifteenth time in this hour. Alexander should be here by now, and time was running out. What if Gregory just suddenly changes his mind and comes back to the hotel?There would be no words to explain Lilly's presence here and to think of what he might do to the little girl... I shuddered shaking my head. I had changed into a huge shirt and shorts, while Lilly had discarded her jacket somewhere leaving only the armless shirt she wore inside and the black pants. Taking one more look at the window again, I turned around to face Lilly who was seated on the sofa playing a game on my phone. Lilly turned on the sofa to face me. " Do you think is he's going to come?" She asked and I sighed again. " He is. He has too". I said with a low voice more to myself than Lilly who raised a brow at me. "But he didn't look for you when you left, what makes you so sure he's going to come for me". I narrowed my eyes at her. " We already had this conversation. Alexande
Alexander's POVI looked up at the hotel scanning the surroundings. Grand Manor hotel, this was the largest hotel in the whole country and what people didn't know was that I owned the darn building, one of my few possessions that were hidden from my old man.The hotel wasn't only for rich people, one had to have alot of connection in other to secure a room, and the kidnapper said to come here. My hunch was correct, the kidnapper was really not someone poor so this was not for money. "Josh, my phone". I said stretching out my hand and the man placed my phone on it. I dialed the kidnappers number and after three rings she finally answered."Hello?" Hee sweet familiar yet unfamiliar voice came out from the other side. I could swear that I knew the voice from somewhere, it was so familiar yet I couldn't place it. I shook my head remembering why I was here. " I'm at the hotel, where are you?" I asked coldly as Josh came to stand beside me. I frowned when no sound came out from the oth
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
