"Hello, who is this?" Mia questioned picking the call she received from an unknown number.
Mia's head spun after what she heard on the call, her whole body was covered in sweat; she was unable to catch her own breath. Mia failed to compose herself.
Without giving any other thought she ran inside the room where Victor is sitting in the middle, sprinting near to him in less than a second, Mia stated with a batted breath, "I will do whatever you want me to do"
Victor smirked looking at her while Travis let out a chuckle which was more like a taunt to Mia.
"Why are you passing time now? I said I will do whatever you want right? I promise you that I will stand on my word. Please save my husband" Mia requested with tears in her eyes.
"So now you came to beg us? Now we should fall for your tears? What have you done while he requested you helplessly?" Travis screamed at her.
"Travis, stop" Victor ordered.
"Why should I? Did she care while you were crying?" Travis questioned back.
"We don't want this. Stop it now" Victor was serious now.
"Look Mia, I never had an intention to hurt you. It's your adamancy that made me do this. If you would have cooperated with me, things would have not messed" Victor shrugged.
"Just because someone doesn't agree along with you that doesn't give you any right to play with their lives. You need to understand the basic concept of rejection" Mia cried.
"I know all of that Madam, but the thing is I am not in any such position to weigh all these things. Now if you give us your word, we can proceed" Victor sounded business.
"I need to make sure my husband is alright before all these things. His safety is important" Mia put forth her point.
"I will take care of it, you will receive a call within seconds about your husband" Victor pulled out his mobile to make a call.
"No, I can't trust you. I need to see him in person only then I will cooperate with you" Mia stated.
"Don't be so adamant, I will assure his safety and security" Victor assured her.
"Why do even think that I will be believing in a person who changes his colours like a chameleon? If you want me to cooperate with you, I need to see my husband, that's it" Mia gave her ultimatum.
"Why are you still wasting time by participating in a wasted discussion with her? Let me handle her" Travis jumped on to Mia
"Travis, keep your cool buddy. We don't want to harm her or any other. Just be calm" Victor stopped Travis who was about to pounce on Mia.
"She has a point, any wife would be worried about her husband. It is fair to take her to him. Only if every woman thinks like her" the irony in Victor's words was clearly understood by his best friend while Mia's throbbing heart didn't even pay heed to their talk.
"Let's move" Mia ran out even before Victor stepped out.
While Travis took the wheel Victor settled beside him. Mia who sat in the back seat continuously kept chanting prayers.
Victor kept staring at the exact replica of Hazel who is in nowhere the confident girl whom he fought all the while.
"Don't worry, we are not harmful people" Victor assured Mia who is in tears.
Mia gave him a disgusting look that pierced his heart. He knew he deserves that for troubling a poor soul who has no relation with him, but he had no option left.
As soon as the wheels came to a stop, Mia jumped out of the vehicle. She was about to run inside but stood in her tracks looking at the place she was brought to.
"Why are we here? This is not the place I am supposed to be, what have you..." Mia's questions were cut short by Victor.
"You speak a lot, for once give a break to your chatter and follow me" Victor started moving without waiting for her reply. Mia followed his footsteps like a lost puppy whereas Travis walked beside them along with the other people.
Mia kept looking at the premises with awe. She was stunned when she saw how everyone moved away when they saw Victor.
Victor signaled others at the door and they didn't move an inch from there while Mia and Travis followed him inside.
"Here you go" Victor pointed at the closed door.
Barging the door open Mia ran inside, tears brimmed her eyes.
"He is doing alright, don't worry" Mia looked up when she heard a voice. Looking by his attire she understood he is a doctor.
"What are the chances of his recovery?" Victor questioned in his infamous cold tone.
"He was admitted here just a few minutes back, we can't assess his situation in such a short span but we can assure you that we will do our best for him and revive him. It's rare but not impossible" the one who looked older than all the doctors present in the room replied.
"Take good care of him, put the best doctors to deal with his case. He is my man and his life is my priority. His treatment should stay confidential no matter what, if any news about this gets leaked you will have to face the wrath of this Victor Cunningham" Victor commanded the doctors who just nodded their heads.
Mia who was a silent spectator to all the things taking place was stunned hearing his confession.
"Cunningham? Did I hear correctly? Is he really the Victor Cunningham? So is he from the Royal Family? Is this the reason everyone is bowing down to him? Is that his wedding which is making the whole country wait in anticipation? So, I am the replica of his fiancee who is nothing but the heiress of the Wesley Royal family who tied alliance with the Cunninghams as a peace agreement? So did I just accept to be a Royal Queen?" Mia's mouth dried once she got a clear picture of what is lying ahead for her
