Mia's POVWhy?I've been staring at the damn television set for almost 5 hours now, straight. Watching a marathon of a love movie of some sort when the girl falls for her best friend, but then he rejects her saying they can only be friends and then she goes ahead and falls for another guy who is crazy in love with her. Few months passes and then her best friend realizes that he indeed had feelings for her and didn't mean what he said months ago so he looks for her and tells her how he feels. At first the girl refused, told him she was in a relationship now and was happy, but then when she gets home she finds out the guy she was with had a sister she didn't know about. He apologized and promised never to hide anything from her again... Not like he was hiding anything. That damn girl never asked! Anyways, the girl refused and ended everything, on the basis that she didn't know him well enough to continue dating him so she went ahead and got together with her best friend and they lived
Victoria's POV" So what's the reason for this meeting?" I asked my half brother, can't call him a bastard because that would just be hypocritical. Gregory sat in front of me in the restaurant which he booked for this meeting, wanted no one to now about it, couldn't blame him.After the surprise call he gave me on Monday, he asked for us to meet up, saying he had something important he wanted to tell me. I wanted to refuse, but curiosity got the best of me and here I am, two days after seated right in front of him in a very expensive restaurant, something I hadn't been able to afford these days because of how low I was on funds. I stared straight at Gregory, who had a smirk on his face as he played with his chopsticks on his food. Though I rarely admitted it, but I hated him too. He just came out of nowhere and got a position in the company, not just any position, the seat of the COO, a position only second to the CEO, and the chairman, which was grandpa. What was so special about
Victoria's POV"How do you..."" Are you shocked?" He smirked again taking another sip of his wine. " That woman, Mia. Just from your reaction I can tell that you know her and you don't like her. "I gritted my teeth in anger. "She is golddigger who only wanted to steal Alexander's money" I said remembering that ugly wretch's face. Well, she wasn't really ugly but she was annoying and had a huge mouth and disrespectful and... And stupid! Just the thought of her infuriated me to the point of wanting to pull my hair. " Why do you have her? How do you have her? " I asked seating back down on my chair.If Mia had any sense of shame, or dignity or even value she wouldn't agree to help the bastard son of the Hamilton's especially since it was against her savior Alexander. "I found her after she ' escaped ' " He air coated the escaped. " She ran away to another country, she was cold and broke and then I found her, took care of her and made her something. I'm surprised you haven't heard o
Victoria's POV" Get the hell out of my house!" Alexander shouted at me as soon as he came out of the house. I had spent over ten minutes arguing with Josh trying my best to give him reasons why he should let me meet Alexander, but he wasn't budging. That darn guy almost threw me out of the house. And then when I thought I was finally saved and I saw Alexander coming down from the stairs, he just gave me a chilling stare that almost brought my knees down. " Alex, I need to..."" Get the hell out of my house". He commanded in his chilling voice. I shivered in fright taking a step back. " Alex I wanted to...""Dad?" Lilly's small voice sounded from the top of the stairs. Immediately she saw me her countenance changed and and she scoffed. "What's she doing here again?" She said with a scoff coming to stand with her dad. They were on good terms? That meant he really had met Mia, was she in this house? That meant that Gregory sent her as a spy in Alexander's house!" Hey you, how ma
Mia's POVAnother day of staying at home was slowly passing away again. Today was Wednesday, tomorrow would be Thursday and by next tomorrow, I would have officially stayed in this country for a week. "Dargh!!!" I yelled grabbing my hair tightly with my hands while screaming in frustration. Everything was not going according to plan and it was frustrating!By now I ought to have been back in England, and on Saturday I had an event I was meant to attend...My eyes widened as I remembered the art gallery event this Saturday that I was meant to be in attendance. "Oh please, don't be this Saturday ". I prayed as I got up from my bed and ran to the wardrobe to find a calendar. The event was on the 15th of this month and today was... Today was 12th!"Fucking shit" I had to be in attendance, I was personally invited for fuck sake. If I failed to attend this event, I would lose a lot of clients, I couldn't let this happen. "Should I talk to Gregory?" I thought out loud dropping the cale
Mia's POV " You know I won't do that, is there another option?" I said sarcastically turning my back to him and moving away from him. " Mia!" He grabbed my hand and turned me to face him forcefully. Because of the strength he used to grab my hand I had no choice than to move backwards, almost tripping of my feet. " Stop talking like that to me! I literally have you life in my hands". He shouted his face all red with anger and his eyes blazing. I smirked adding more fuel to his anger. Good, now he can feel my frustration too. " You don't have my life in your hands Greg. You can't kill me because you think that I would help you to bring down Alexander, even if I won't you still think so, plus I'd be your biggest help if I do". Greg smiled, then his lips grew wider and wider until he began to chuckle. " Do you think I really need you to take down Alexander?" He said with a scoff. I stared at his laughing face in amusement. He was a bad liar. " If you don't need me, why am I st
Mia's POV" Hey please who are you?" I heard a female voice and the footstep stopped. What... What's going on?My entire body was trembling in fear and my heart was beating loudly, but still I leaned a little to see what was going on. The guard has stopped and was talking to a woman, one of the hotel attendants and she looked familiar. " I asked, oh you just be that rich gentleman upstairs bodyguard. He really have a nice taste of choosing people". The woman said again before her eyes suddenly met mine. She slowly tilted her head to the side while looking at me, before returning her gaze to the guard. " What is this?" I questioned myself looking back at her. She was nudging her head, trying to tell me... Fuck, trying to tell me to leave. I immediately ran, fast but softly towards the only other door that was close to me and shut the door softly. " Thank goodness...". I breathed out holding my chest. I thought for sure I was going to get caught. Who was that woman? I thought an
Mia's POV I glanced at Ethan from the corner of my eyes. His gaze was so focused on driving that it was unbelievably annoying and uncomfortable. Why hadn't he asked why I called him all of a sudden? Or why men in black suit were chasing after me?His nonchalance was almost driving me insane. It was killing me to not know what was going on in his head. ' Not like I ever knew 'He was the most impossible person to read in the entire world because he almost never showed any information or expression on his face. I glanced at him again before taking my gaze away to look at the window. After a few more minutes I couldn't take the silence any more so I coughed. Alexander glanced at me before looking back at the road. " Are you alright?" He asked his eyes still on the road. " I'm fine. " I replied curtly waiting for a follow up question, but none came.When I was about to give up, that he was not going to ask about what happened he cleared his throat and i turned towards him. "Yes?" I
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
