Chapter 3 - The Replica

"I know this is done by you. What the heck do you want from me? What have I ever done to you?" Mia barged towards him and clutched his neck in the same way he did.

The minute she clutched his neck, almost 20 guns were pointed towards her making Mia gasp in surprise.

"Okay, I left his neck. I did nothing, see I am stepping back. Please put your guns down" she requested.

She observed how everyone looked at the man who choked her, the minute he nodded his eyes all the guns were taken back in total sync.

Even though Mia didn't understand a thing happening over there, looking at the well-built men following that psycho's orders, she understood that he holds some power.

"Why am I here?" Mia put forth her question with trembling legs. She received no response to the question but the men present in the room kept ogling at her.

Victor observed how Mia kept biting her nails, he understood her nervousness. He signaled the men to leave and everyone exited the room within seconds leaving Mia with Victor and Travis.

Mia felt a bit relieved seeing the men leaving her relief didn't even last a minute when she saw how Victor and Travis kept ogling at her from top to bottom.

"Will you people for God's sake stop staring at me and tell me why the hell I was brought here?" Mia screamed unable to take their continuous ogling.

"How could you do this to him?" Travis questioned pointing towards the bandage which is aiding Victor's wound.

"How can he do this to me?" Mia spat back throwing away the scarf that covered the bruises on her neck.

"God, you have rashes. We can't entertain that. Travis call a medic," Victor ordered.

"Excuse me; will someone explain to me what the hell is happening here? Why did he choke me in the first place? Why did he call me names? Why did you bring me here and why the heck is he worried about the rashes he gave me? What is wrong with you people? Are you insane?" Mia screamed at them not worrying about any consequences.

Travis looked at her with shock while Victor's lips curled into a smile.

"Not at all her" Travis managed to speak looking at Mia from top to bottom. Even though his looks didn't look any bad, she felt conservative about herself. She kept pulling her dress in every possible way.

"She is actually the one you should have chosen, fierce and daring," Travis said with a smile.

"Chosen? For what I should be chosen? Look, if you people are trying to kidnap me let me tell you I have nothing to give you. No one will pay you anything or beg you for me," Mia yelled but it came out as a request.

"Then our work will be more easy as the way is clear" Travis smirked walking towards her whereas Victor didn't move an inch.

Mia stepped back with fear until she hit a wall. Travis stood exactly opposite to her. When Travis raised his hand until her chest level Mia kicked him in his groin without giving a thought about other consequences. She tried running away but stopped hearing a burst of infectious laughter.

Mia was shocked to see Victor laughing clutching his stomach.

"Does this psycho know how to smile too?" Mia wondered to herself.

"You asshole, even Almighty won't forgive you for this sin" Travis screamed at his best friend who is laughing at him.

"Why should I be the only one tasting her medicine" Victor winked pulling his friend up.

Travis limped feeling pain; he passed a sharp look to Mia who stood unfretted.

"Look at her, she is still growling at me. At least explain her now, or else she will kill me" Travis requested making Victor chuckle.

Making him sit, Victor walked to Mia who is standing at the door unable to escape as the door was secured by his people.

"Hey" Victor's smile was not received by Mia who stood there with a scowl.

"Sorry for what I have done earlier, I confused you for some other. I am sincerely sorry, I hope you forgive me" Victor smiled a little.

"Are you insane? You choked me and tried to kill me, you called me whatever names possible, you sent some men and kidnapped me, that person tried doing something to me and now you are hoping me to forgive you? Is something wrong with you?" Mia screamed at him.

"Shut up," Victor yelled at Travis who is clearly enjoying the show taking place out there.

"When was the last time I got to enjoy someone trashing you?" Travis chuckled. Mia was unable to understand anything kept looking at him with confusion.

"Sorry, you might have thought I might be bad, but.." Victor was about to continue but was cut in the middle by Mia.

"I sincerely feel you are an insane psycho who needs treatment. It might be more than an hour you brought me here and you are wasting my time without sending me back. Can you for the Lord's sake tell me why the hell am I here?" Mia was unable to stay patient anymore.

"She needs to be trained a lot" Travis commented.

"Will you stop the commentary all by yourself or do you wish to taste my kick for once more?" Mia's warning made Travis shut his mouth while Victor stood grinning.

"Seriously Travis, keep your calm. Our aim is not to scare her," Victor signaled Travis to keep calm.

"Will you please take a seat?" Victor requested her.

Mia looked skeptical and was totally against following his orders.

"Don't let me repeat things, I hate doing that. Please take a seat" even though Victor said politely but it sounded more than serious to Mia. Without posing any further questions Mia sat on the sofa opposite Travis.

"So Ms. Jannison" Victor smiled sitting on the table lying opposite to her.

"Actually, it's Mrs. Jannison" Mia corrected, which shattered every hope of Victor. His smile came to a standstill and earth slipped away from his feet.
