"Mia..." both men stretched.
Cursing under her breath Mia stood up and sat back when she saw Victor and Travis being seated.
"Go ahead" Victor smiled pushing the food towards her and Mia screamed horrified, while Victor smirked.
"Why don't you say it in simple words? Hey Mia, I want you to be Hazel so that I can torture you minute by minute and kill you eventually. What is this? What did you even serve me?" Mia shrieked.
"Didn't I tell you she can't do anything without drama? And you wanted me to deal with her patiently losing whatever time is available to us" Victor grunted at Travis.
"Why are you being angry at him? Didn't I make it clear that I can't even stand nonvegetarian? Then how can you serve that to me? Do you understand the feeling of nausea? I can't ever eat them," Mia said once again trying to make Victor understand.
"You repeated this to me since the time I got you breakfast, but as I said Hazel's diet pattern had the things you hate. She loves munching on the chicken wings and seafood is her go-to food. She loves different varieties in it and if you all of a sudden exempt these things, you will surely be questioned, and let me warn you that once the questions start, they will just don't stop. They dig you until their every single doubt is clarified and you know that according to the Royal etiquettes you have to answer every one, which will be impossible for you. So better than that, I would suggest you to have this food, I don't want anyone to have a benefit of the doubt" Victor pushed the food tray near to her.
"Psycho, don't do this to me, please. I will have complications. Then you might have to deal with a bigger problem" Mia hunched a quick plan to escape.
She remembered how she used to cry when the cute little chickens are being sold in markets, she always had this hate inside for the people who eat animals or living creatures. In the littlest of little conversations she had with her husband, Mia requested him to give up on meat, and all he got to hear a maniac laugh.
Though she was never able to make anyone give up, she herself never ate it even for her husband, and now a stranger who is going to be her fake husband in a few days. Mia dreaded the idea of having meat and more than that she doesn't want to be a doll who keeps nodding to Victor's every order.
"You can do anything you want, but I can't do this. You asked me to wear this life chocking out dress, I wore that. You wanted me to roam around in these pointed heels, I am doing that. You have given me a million instructions about how to move, how to walk, how to smile; I am following every single thing in that but I can't do this one. You said you and your fiancé lived together and it's been four months since your family or her family saw her right? Then cook up a story like we went to a retreat and hearing to the holy talks I gave on the meat" Mia stated which sounded more like a command.
"Mia, there will be lots of questions, Hazel's parents know she can't give up on meat. They know her since childhood. You can't just say anything you want" Victor stressed.
"No problem, from the videos you made me see I understood the pampered girl she was, they will surely but my story, as they know once Hazel takes any decision she sticks on that. You too just support me in that but I am not going to touch this no matter what. If you force me by taking my husband's health, I will go down on a hunger strike" Mia declared her mind.
While Victor looked at her with amazement, Travis was stunned to see how the lamb has suddenly turned into a lion and gave it back to the people whom she can't even look directly into the eyes until then.
"So you won't change your decision?" Victor questioned.
"Sorry, but I won't and I can't. Let's cook a better story together and stick to it so that your prestigious Royal family who lives with spying eyes hopefully won't be able to catch us" Mia's voice held command.
"This is actually how a Royal Daughter in law should sound, as much as she stay rooted to the ground, she should also be able to have this commanding demeanor. Do maintain that, The Queen would highly appreciate that" Victor smiled.
"Until now I had a doubt, but now I am sure about your split personality disorder. How do you keep changing shades like a chameleon?" Travis chuckled hearing Mia.
Victor glared at Travis who was chuckling uncontrollably.
"Until the time you are doing things that would not bring unwanted problems to me or us, I will be happy. I got that you can't take meat, just because I gave you exemption from that don't think you can repeat this on other things too. There are certain things, that need to be done no matter what," Victor stated with a pinch of seriousness.
Mia pushed the plate away from her and called out the staff.
"Will you please get me a cilantro soup and stuffed vegetables along with flavored yogurt?" Mia requested the staff with a smile.
"Eww.. what's that combination? Who even eats that?" Travis questioned looking at Victor who is grinning.
"Why the hell are you grinning?" Travis quizzed victor.
"Did you observe how quickly she is learning? She is going to shine and I am happy we at least have one problem solved" Victor whispered to Travis.
"Excuse me Sir" hearing a voice Victor turned to his left.
"Sir, there is an emergency situation" the person announced giving a letter to Victor.
"Why the fuck is life playing with me? What the fuck do you want?" Victor groaned throwing the letter on the floor.
