Mia Pov
I was asked to go to talk to my suitor Mr Ben, I was in a total mess, he was not a good guy as I have seen him so far, he had dirty look, for Megan, I think even Danny noticed it, he looked so devastated by the way he was gazing at him, if it was some other time, Danny could have ripped him apart... but now due to family respect, he's quite, as I was thinking... suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, I was so stunned by Mr Ben... He saw me the first time I have seen him just a few minutes ago and he dares to touch me... I moved away from him fast and asked
"What are you doing...Mr Ben"
"What... we are getting married, can't I touch you"
"it's our first meeting... we need to try knowing each other, it's unethical to behave the way you are behaving"
"I heard that your family is already was ok with our marriage, so what's more, I want a wife, that's all"
I was so sad, at what he said... just a wife, I smiled at my bitter fate, but I confidently asked
"Mr Ben, who all live in your family"
"It's me and my Mom, my Dad, dead a few years before"
"Oh, I am sorry, why do you want to marry me"
"Why do you ask this question, you're a woman, look good, I heard your good in households, what more I want, I have been said, that you're in good in health, and can give me a hire... in a year, so you're qualified to be my wife"
I stood thunderstruck, it was such a humiliating thing he said, in his eyes, a wife was just a maid, a sex partner, and a childbearing machine... I remembered how Ray treated me, my eyes started to tear as I thought about him, he was so good, respected me, but I don't know whether he loved me... the man in front of me, he doesn't deserve my life, I will listen to my heart, what if Ray doesn't love me, I love him... I will tell him, that I love him and I want to be with him... only with him all my life.
As I thought, I said
"It was nice meeting you Mr Ben, I leave first..."
I walked down before Mr Ben reacted, I didn't care what he thought or what will happen after that, the only thing now I wanted was, to see Ray... I need to call him now... as I walked down, my Mom smiled at me and asked
"All ready for the wedding, Mia, I am so happy for you"
I was so very overwhelmed...
"Yaa Mom, your so happy, why will you care about my happiness"
"What the hell are you saying, what's wrong with you... Mia"
"What's wrong with me, it's all wrong with that guy... so-called the suitor, the way of him thinking about a wife is nonsense, I can't marry him"
"What are you talking about, Mia... You don't want to marry him"
as my, mother yelled, dad walked in and said my Mom,
"Abel, can we first send off the guest, and talk all this after that"
Mom gave me a stare and walked out with my Dad, I sat there, not knowing what to do...
Third-Party Pov
The guest was sent off by Reid family members, and was back to the living room, When Mia walked out of her room, to Megan, and asked
"Megan, can I talk to you"
"Yaa for sure"
"Mia... stop right there, we need to talk"
Mrs Abel called out, Megan and Mia tured to see... Abel came forward and dragged Mia to the couch and asked
"Now you tell, Ben wants to have the wedding in another few days"
"I am not marrying him, Mom, he thinks too cheap about a woman"
"What nonsense are you talking... he's a well-established man, he wants a wife, what's wrong in a man wanting his wife to be obedient, all can't be like your brother"
"Mom, stop talking about Danny and Megan, ok... I don't like Mr Ben"
"Mom, even I don't like that guy, he's not for Mia"
Daniel voiced out, while Mr Reid said
"Abel, if Mia, doesn't like him why do you force her, let's give her some time"
"Give her some time, I have a deal with Mr Ben, that we will be in partnership after the wedding, What about that Sis"
Mr Smith asked Abel, Abel turned to look at her brother, was thinking about what to say, while Megan said.
"Then get your daughter to marry him, why Mia, you're the one who wants the deal, and Mia is not a product to deal"
"Who the hell are you to say that, who you think, your"
Becka yelled... at Megan, who stood like a rock there, unmoved from Mia's said...
"I am Mia's friend, I want her happiness, not like your family, selling her for your business, if you want a deal with that Ben, then you should marry him, not Mia"
Mia looked shocked at Megan's quick tongue, and didn't know what to say, but was so happy, Daniel said
"Yes Dad, if Mia doesn't like that guy, no one is here to force her, Marriage is her decision"
"Danny, What about Uncle's word to Mr Ben"
Jovel asked, looking into Daniel's eyes, Megan opened her mouth to answer, Daniel held her hand and said
"Don't talk, Meg... be quiet"
"Why shouldn't I speak, isn't it my family, Danny"
Megan looked at Daniel with a questioning look, but to her disappointment, Daniel said
"No Megan, it's not... it's my family issue let us deal with it, you be quiet"
Megan glanced at Daniel, with tears brimming in her eyes, while Becka, gave a mocking smile, which made megan feel more terrible, as she wanted to leave that place, her mobile rang, she picked it to see, it was a call from an unknown number...Megan picked it with some hesitation and answered
"Hello, who is this, how can I help you"
at the back the Ried family was argued on facts....while Daniel heard Megan shouting at her phone, he was panicked, he just cut her not talk, by saying her, she was not his family, he just wanted to protect her from these people, but now her screams made him scared... Megan was screaming on her mobile
"Yes, Iam Megan Felix, Yes, what are you saying... stop talking nonsense and I don't believe you, My aunt and uncle are all good, shut up... No...No...No, it can't be, they promised me, that I can see them once they are in B city"
Hearing her Daniel and Mia, ran and Daniel took her mobile while Mia held crying Megan in her arms, Daniel asked the other person on the call
"Hello, I am, Daniel Reid, Megan's husband, what's happening who are you"
"Hello Mr Reid, we are calling from Z city, military headquarters, Mr and Mrs Felix, were killed in a bomb blast this morning, and the first contact was Miss Felix number, so we called to inform the family"
"What...what are you saying"
"We are sorry for your loss, their bodies will be sent home to K city, in a week after all the formalities are done, please don't try to come, as the situation here is not good"
"Ok, thank you will keep the Family informed"
By the time Daniel finished and tired to Megan, she was wiping in Mia's arms, Daniel went and took her in his arms and rubbed her back slowly, to calm her down, after few minutes Megan, stopped crying and asked for her mobile and called her dad,
"Dad, where are you, ok... Come home, I will be there in few minutes"
and she made another call after she hanged the call with her father
"Hello, James Brother"
"Hai Little devil, how are you, is Olivia with you"
"No, am at Daniel's house, James bro, was there any bomb blast in Z city"
"Yaa megan, it was a huge one, there were many casualties... few dead"
"My Uncle and Aunt, were there for some confidential Military project, that my uncle was investing in, and I got a call... that, that their both dead in that bomb blast, can you check and call me, I am going home now"
"Megan, I am so sorry, that investor from B city was your uncle, he and his wife were so good and nice, but I am so sorry, they are dead in the bomb blast"
"James bro... you met them"
"Yaa. I was with them for a few days ago, today they both went to buy something for their Goddaughter... to market, and got into the blast"
Megan started to cry, again after the confirmation of James, Daniel again took the mobile and asked
"James, it's Daniel... what the status"
"Daniel don't worry, I will finish all the formalities and come with the bodies, I understand how Megan must be now, take care of her"
"Ok I understand"
Daniel held Megan again and said his father
"Dad, Megan's uncle and aunt passed away in a bomb blast in Z city, I need to leave, to her house, her parents are not aware still, so please sort out this, for now"
Mr Reid, nodded in understanding, while Mia tured to her a Dad and asked
"Dad, please can I go with Megan.... just to be her mental support"
Mr Reid understood, that in a short time, Mia as become really close to Megan, so he nodded his head in understanding, while Mrs Abel came to say something, and was stopped by Mr Reid. Daniel held Megan, in his arms and led her out, whole Mia followed them... Becka stood there with an angry face, today finally, when Daniel was on their side by saying, Megan was not the family, which could have made a big misunderstanding, this death news ruined all, and that Mia...she said to herself,
"Wait Mia, I will ruin your life, you choose that bitch over me, You are unaware what kind of person Mr Franklin Ben is, that's the reason he's not married yet again, as his first wife was abused and killed by him, which, we kept from your family, your going have the same fate, as his first wife, because you supported that Megan"
She sneered, while Megan, was crying in Daniel's arms... for her loose, she wouldn't even believe, that her Aunt and Uncle passed away like this....
