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
Alexander's POVI switched on the lights and Mia jumped in fear. "What are you doing?" I asked her and she turned sharply towards me before letting out a relief sigh.Why was she so jumpy? " Er... The... The lights were off. Why did you turn off the lights?" She changed the topic trying to make her voice steady. But I already noticed she was uncomfortable. I took a step towards her glancing at the hanger she held firmly in her hands. What did she think she was going to do with those? " Because I didn't want the neighbors to know I was around" I said answering her question before pointing at her hand. " Why are holding a hanger?" I asked even though the answer was obvious to me. She immediately hid it behind her. "Nothing. I was just wondering why the lights were off " She said and from her tone I could tell she was nervous.I walked closer to her just so I could see her face clearly, but before I could reach her she held her hands in front of her and shouted. " Okay that's enoug
Mia's POVI slammed the door shut and rested my back on it. I just let myself be vulnerable in front of Alexander. It was not my intention, seriously. I was just going to get a plate to put the fruits I wanted to eat in, but then I just started to imagine what Gregory would do to me if he found me and I just couldn't help myself and the glass fell down from my hands. Gregory was not a nice person, he was anything but that word... Nice but he has never shown his other side to me until this Saturday when he found out that I knew Alexander. I have seen him deal with someone before, well not him but his shadow bodyguard, Killian. That guy was ruthless and once he was given an order he didn't stop until he carried it out. And just thinking of what could happen to me if Gregory found out that I was with his brother... I couldn't help but be emotional. And when Alexander suddenly showed up I let myself just be vulnerable for once and immerse myself in his warm comforting hug. But I shou
Mia's POVThe men dragged, well couldn't be called dragging because I willing followed them, it was that they pushed me sometimes and it was freaking annoying. Hello? I just got reality give me a huge slap on my face, can't you guys be alot more gentle! I screamed in my head but didn't say anything in fear that they could just turn back and give me an actual slap. The men came down from the car when the car came to a halt at another location. Why didn't they take me back to the hotel? I wondered but came down along side the other guys and stood by a corner looking down at the ground. " Boss we found her". I heard one of them say and i looked up to see an angry looking Gregory walking towards me with Killian right behind him looking as emotional and expressionless as ever. It seriously won't surprise me to find out the guy was a robot. " Mia you little...""Calm your horses, I was coming back to find you". I said interrupting him with a calm and bored tone while rolling my eyes a
Mia's POV " Where have you been?" Alexander exclaimed his voice filled with anger or worry... I couldn't tell with him at all. He rushed towards me checking me for any injuries, not like he should care, before holding my hands and making me look straight at him. His long black hair was disheveled and his black eyes, his black eyes actually had concern inside them... Or was it just what I thought. " Mia are you alright? What happened to you?" He asked in a panicking yet relieved tone. I don't know why he does this. If he doesn't like me and I was not his type why the hell was he looking at me like that?Maybe he was worried that his ace card against Gregory had escaped and wanted to get me back as soon as possible. Just the thought of it made my eyes blurry again. I blinked them back shutting my eyes tightly and taking a deep breath. ' Mia, just breathe, you can do this ' I told myself before opening my eyes and gently shrugging his hands off me. " I only went for a walk outs
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
