Mia's POV I let out a breath and took a step back from Victoria. "That's none of your business and just for your information, I was not brought to the auction house conscious or willingly". I said coldly. Victoria lips just hooked up in a smirk that I desperately wanted to slap out of her lips. That was one striking similarity between her and Gregory, their smirks were terribly annoying and I felt like just punching their faces so it would disappear." What are you even doing here? " I asked again looking around. She dragged me into a changing room? I thought before returning my gaze back to her. Thankfully it wasn't occupied. Victoria scoffed rubbing her injured hand again. " I came here to shop, but then I saw you and Amelia and then I decided to deliver the message Gregory sent me "." Oh you're a messager now..." I said sarcastically crossing my hands with an amused smirk. "What did your boss send you here to tell me". Victoria smirk vanished. "He didn't send me here, didn't
Mia's POVWalking towards Alexander study again to do the same exact thing I was almost caught by Amelia for, spy on Alexander. It was even more this time because it was late, past seven for fuck sake, if anyone caught me I would be done for. There was no possible excuse. Deep breaths Mia, Amelia is with Lilly and Alice, there is no possible way she would just come out now. We were all watching a movie in Lilly's room when I snuck out to do my duty to Gregory. I better get something now or else Gregory might just rat me out to Alex. The fear of what he might do when he finds out still haunted me. I arrived at the door, and just like last time I couldn't hear anything, but this time it was different, I already knew what to do. I slowly turned the knob and opened it ever so slightly, placing my ears at the open space. "Gregory is moving fast sir, I believe we have to get on with the plan as soon as possible". I heard the guy named Josh say. Which plan? What plan? That was probabl
Mia's POVGregory went silent on the other end, probably taking his time to think of the next step he would take, that was good, in fact really good but the thing was, we... we didn't have any time goddamnit! Alexander was going to do everything tomorrow and then... and then, I might not even be alive to see Saturday!!!" Gregory speak the fuck up, what are you thinking about? You know what I have a suggestion that I think would benefit the both of us. " I said and paused waiting to hear any sign of a go ahead from Gregory but he was still being quiet. Whatever I had to tell him my idea even if it was cowardly."Look, for you not to end up getting disgraced in front of all the other shareholders or stuff, I don't know what you call those kind of people but... Just so you can keep your face, I advise you back out now. Just stop trying to compete with Alexander and let's go back to England in peace". I begged at the end. I wanted to leave, maybe just as much as I wanted to come back w
Mia's POV"Aunt why can't you stay? " Lilly asked for the one hundredth time. This was the first time I had seen her so clingy with someone, she wasn't even like this with her father, she must really really love Amelia. She was in her school uniform, all ready to go to school. Lilly was only able to get an offday yesterday so even though her father and aunt were leaving today she still had to go to school, and luckily it wasn't too late yet. Amelia had insisted that she left this morning and Alexander agreed since he also had somewhere to go. I on the other hand couldn't sleep a wink last night just pondering over what Gregory said. Eliminate the competitionI didn't want to think really bad of Gregory, but he wasn't giving me anything else. What the hell did he want to do?" I really wish I could stay longer but I can't, my patient needs me " I faintly heard Amelia reply, the same thing she reply ahe had been giving Lilly anytime she asked the same question. I just stood by the
Mia's POVAmelia was what??? "Where? When? How?! " I asked all at once dropping the bottle of water suddenly in panic.Where did the accident take place?When the did she get involved in an accident? And the main questionHow the hell was it Amelia!"Few minutes ago, she has just been rushed to the hospital and I thought to inform you". Alexander not so calm voice came through the phone. He was panicking too though he tried not to show it, but why the fuck was I to care about that now, Amelia was in the hospital!" Which hospital? " I asked literally running out of the garden and out of the house. Immediately Alexander told me the name of the hospital, I ended the call about to leave the mansion." Mia where the hell are you going?" Alice asked running after me."Amelia just got involved in an accident, I have to go". I said hurriedly running back towards the house and to the underground garage.It was impossible to hail a taxi from here since the entire ground, even for the next few
Mia's POV" Where are you going? I'll take you there " Alexander offered but I shook my head. " This is a place I would have to go alone, but I'll come back here I promise" . I promised giving Alexander a nod before walking away, taking determined steps. I could still feel Alexander's worried buy skeptical eyes on me but I refused to turn back, if I did I might just spill out everything to Alexander and i couldn't risk that especially not now.The hospital Amelia was rushed too wasn't too big, in fact it was just a regular size hospital which didn't have a lot of floors and steps so I got out pretty quickly, but not as quick as I got in.I met the nurse again at the counter and she flashed me a smile. I would have returned it if we met on normal circumstances, but my mind was too round up to even care.I walked outside to see Simon resting by the car, probably waiting for me. "Ms Mia". He stood up straight as soon as he saw me. I tried my best to force a smile to my face but faile
Gregory's POV" Tomorrow why?" Mia asked cautiously. That was early, really early, but I could manage that. " Good. Just keep doing what you're doing." I said removing the phone from my ear, I was about cutting the call when Mia scream came through from the phone. "Gregory don't you dare hang up, what do you mean? What are you going to do? " She asked sounding even more anxious than before. Should I tell her? I wondered, then just decided to. She was the one informing me of Alexander's plans, if she wasn't there I would have been completely taken by surprise when suddenly grandpa would call me and remove me form my position in the company. " I'm going to take care of Alexander. " I asked curtly. " Just tell me what the fuck you're going to do Gregory! " She said again this time with frustration. What couldn't she understand here?" Since I can't beat him, I'm just going to eliminate the competition." I said with a sigh, frustrated that her brain wasn't catching what I was dropp
Alexander's POVFew hours agoAmelia and I got into different cars both driving towards the same place when all of a sudden, the call Amelia was in broke down.A Rolls Royce phantom car, just suddenly break down? I wondered suspiciously as Amelia just stood beside the car. "How is this even possible? " I asked out loud carefully surveying the car again. It was in good working condition when we left the house, how could it just suddenly break down in the middle of the road?Amelia came to stand beside me looking at the car also"Like, it's literally impossible but it has happens and I need to get to the airport. So could you give me a lift?" She asked smiling at me cutely. I couldn't pin point it but I felt like this was her doing. It was impossible to think that she made the car break down, but she was acting way too suspicious so I couldn't tule that pass her.But why would she do that?She wanted to get to the airport more than anything so why would she just slow herself down?" A
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
