"Do you have threats?" Mia questioned with disbelief.
"Do you even live in this normal world like us? God, you need to be trained a lot. Let's start with your damn training" Victor jumped out of the bed.
"I need truth before everything," Mia announced.
"Everything, aren't you expecting a little much?" Victor snickered pushing the bread into Mia's mouth, which was slightly open.
"I am giving days in my life to aid you, and I can't even know what I am working for and why? You want me to learn many things but you can't tell me anything?" Mia questioned seriously pushing away the bread.
"Your question is as confusing as you are Mia if you want me to tell you everything; I will be expecting the same from you. Will you tell me what made your husband land in such a situation? Will you tell me what made you marry someone who is fifteen years elder to you?" as soon as Victor posed the questions Mia turned blank.
"See, how you are throwing daggers at me, there is something which lies personal as we are strangers but I will be telling you everything you need to know for turning into Hazel," Victor assured.
"I need an answer from you," Mia questioned.
"That depends on the question you pose," Victor replied.
"So you have threats, then what if something happens to me?" Mia quizzed.
"With the security personnel and bodyguards, no one can lay an eye on us. No one can do any harm for you" Victor assured.
"Then what happened to your fiancee? Where is she? Why is she not here for her wedding that is going to take place in a few days?" Mia questioned that one question to which Victor had no answer.
"This is something for which you won't be receiving any answer, you will know everything you need to know without questioning for that and it would be better if you stop questioning those which won't be answered back" the seriousness in his voice made Mia feel threatened.
Victor observed how the colours on her face changed. He understood that he increased her fears more by being too much of himself
"Listen Mia, the thing is pretty simple, you just hear and follow my words, act accordingly. You will get everything you need, good treatment for your husband, life settlement for you but if you try showing unwanted smartness, you will get to see the Victor Cunningham" Victor spoke what he wanted to convey in simple terms but that was enough for Mia to understand that she has nothing to do except being a puppet to his orders.
"Now, I will send the dress and people, they will assist you in getting dressed. It will be better if you throw no qualms" with that Victor walked out of the room.
"How was the fireball now?" Travis questioned Victor as soon as he stepped out.
"She thinks I suffer from Split Personality Disorder" Victor sighed.
"What is there to think in that? Wasn't that the truth?" Travis mocked his best friend.
Victor rolled his eyes at Travis.
"Okay, tell me why did she refuse to wear that?" Travis questioned.
"She was scared, with all the new developments around. She was unable to understand anything just like us, so behaving weirdly. She turns into a fighting tiger one minute and in the next minute, she behaves like a scared lamb. I just can't understand how she changes in seconds. I feel she is the one suffering from Split Personality Disorder," Victor stated.
"What is your sudden concern with her? Just because she is Hazel's replica, she can never be Hazel. She is married, remember that" Travis warned.
"No, are you mad? Do you think I am attracted to her? I was just concerned about her. I can feel her pain, she is kind of into big loss. That's it, now you stop thinking with your pervert brain and think about hiding all these things perfectly to the family" Victor smacked on Travis's head.
"Okay dear Prince, here's the thing. You did the right thing by travelling on a regular plane under a fake name. No one has any idea about your arrival. All the security camera footage of yesterday was erased. The hospital floor was highly monitored and no one will spill any beans. Everyone in the family still thinks you will be arriving in two days. So we need to get Mia ready by then" Travis assured Victor that made him feel relieved.
"I just hope Mia just agrees with us and makes things smooth," Victor prayed.
"Me too, I hope Mia does her duty well hearing to Victor, without facing the wrath of the Victor Cunningham" Travis chuckled pointing at Victor's chest.
Travis is the one who knows Victor since childhood. He knows what Victor's anger can do. He really wished that things go smoothly.
"Mr. Cunningham..." hearing a sweet voice both the men turned back.
Mia stood there wearing the floor-length red ball tulle gown, with frills on both ends. The gown tucked perfectly making her body look more beautiful. The pearls adorning her ears made her face shine. Mia was unable to look straight into the eyes of
Victor who is staring at her with intensity.
"Stop gawking at her" Travis snapped Victor.
Victor who was feeling some different kinds of emotions in him was unable to think any other thing, he took close steps near Mia who was standing there rooted.
"Hazel..." Mia felt his hot breath on her cheeks. She was petrified to look up at him. Victor lifted his left hand and tried reaching her blush coated cheeks
"Mr. Cunningham, I am Mia" Mia stopped his hand in the middle fearing what he meant to do.
"No, you are Hazel, you are exactly the Hazel I need. Now it's time for the lessons" Victor stepped back.
Travis looked at the flushed out Victor and raised his eyes. Victor was unable to understand what happened to him, he was so confused about feeling some emotions towards Mia.
"What happened to me? Why can't I avert my eyes from her? Do I really suffer from a split personality disorder?" Victor questioned his not so sane mind.
