"Remember that no matter what this matter shouldn't reach the third person's eye. I will take care of the hospital people. I will erase your records of the job and your previous certificates will be sealed. No one should know a thing except the three of us in the room" Victor asserted for one more time.
"What if someone catches me?" Mia questioned petrified.
"In this span of six days, you will be trained enough to look manageable, you will have to imbed the qualities of Hazel. The Royal etiquettes, the rules will be taught to you all you need to do is managing without being caught, I will be with you most of the time, and we will shift to my personal mansion after marriage so that you won't be answerable to every question and you can have your freedom. As you will be in the place of Hazel, the daughter-in-law of The Royal Family, you can't be working anywhere" Victor's every word made Mia more petrified.
Victor who had no answer to that question looked at Travis for help but he too held the same confused expression as Victor.
Mia stood with a confused expression all the while listening to him.
"So tell me how much do you want?" a slap landed on Victor's cheek as soon as the question rolled out of his lips.
While Victor stood astonished, Travis pulled the trigger and placed his Gun on Mia's forehead.
"Do you even know who he is? Do you know what will you be going through for pulling such an act?" Travis screams echoed in the whole room.
"Didn't you hear what he said? He is asking a married woman to take the place of his fiancee and he negotiated to pay me so that I can be his wife. What does he even think of me? As a prostitute?" Mia screamed back.
"Travis, stand back. Take the Gun away from her head. I will talk to her" Victor ordered him.
"Travis, this is my order. Step back," as soon as he heard an order from Victor's mouth Travis stepped back.
"Hear me out Mia, there is no escape route for you. I don't encourage unnecessary fights, it will be good if you let me know about your husband and your family. I will personally talk to them and assure them," Victor stated.
"What will you assure them, when I am not into the thing you are saying. How can you even ask me to act as your fiancee? How can I even believe in you? You tried to kill me a few hours back and now you kidnapped me. How can I know that this is not any fake story of yours?" Mia kept posing questions without a break.
"Look Lady, in no way do I have time or interest to create a fake story and make you believe in that. I wouldn't even have thrown a glance at you, if you weren't her exact replica. Now stop wasting any more time and let me know about your family, it will be better for both of us," Victor warned her.
"She will be here in few days, you don't need to worry about that" Victor assured her even though he was unsure about the happening of such thing.
"What if she doesn't?" Mia questioned unsure of her future.
"Then we will find one or another way, that is not the thing we should be worrying about right now" Victor tried changing the topic.
"It might not be important to you, but it is most important to me. I have a life, by Almighty's grace my husband might start reacting to treatment soon, what will I do if he becomes normal? How am I going to answer him? How long should I be living as a doppelganger of someone who is in every way different from what I am?" Mia was serious while questioning.
"Your husband is not suffering from a cough or cold, that he will make an entry. He slipped into coma six months back and is suffering from Chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease with several complications. His body is not reacting to any medicine. You know that it is almost impossible at this stage"
"How dare you speak like that?" Mia clutched Victor's collar.
Travis was about to pull her back but Victor signaled him to stop.
"Mia, calm down. I am just presenting the truth we both know. Didn't you hear from the doctors that treating him is nothing but a waste of time and money? Yet I am willing to do that, I put the best people on your husband's case. All I want you to know is that it is not going to be easy" Victor saw how her grip loosened on his collar.
"Whatever time it may take, I can't keep living as your wife even if it is an act. I need to know how long it will go" Mia questioned directly.
"Six months. If Hazel returns before that it is well and good, even if she doesn't return after six months you are free to leave and you won't have any strings attached. I will officially divorce you citing some reasons, but a minimum of six months is needed. If your husband gets well in this period, I will talk to him and make him understand. You don't have to worry about that. I am telling you time and again, I will pay for your husband's treatment, I will take care of your expenses, I won't trouble you in any way. All I need is you taking place of Hazel" Victor cleared what he needed.
"This is not as easy as it sounds, please leave me" Mia requested though she knew he won't do that.
"For sure, but if you want me to leave you in that case even you have to leave hopes on your husband's life" Mia was not surprised now as she expected this from him.
Though she didn't know anything about him or why he was so adamant about the wedding taking place, she understood that he too have some vulnerabilities just like her.
"Dear Psycho, if my husband is my vulnerability, your fiancee is your vulnerability, if you are going to play with me using my vulnerability, I am not going to take a back step" Mia smirked to herself finding a way.
