Chapter 43 - The Best Plan

"Stay silent as much as time you want, let me know if you need something. I will be in the other room" Victor pointed towards the adjoining room and walked away signaling Travis who followed him.

"This is Mia no one can scare her" Mia squealed to herself and settled on the couch in a comfortable position. The minute she closed her eyes her mobile started ringing.

"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"

Mia kept staring at the floor not replying to anything, she didn't move an inch.

"This is Hazel, my fiancée" Mia just nodded when Victor explained.

"Due to some issues she was unable to make it here, my wedding is fixated after a week from now and I need you to take her place until she returns. I will pay as much as you want" Victor put his words without beating around the bush.

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.

"I am not devoid of problems in my life that I wish to add a few more to my list. I am not going to do anything. If you leave me, I do have other work" Mia used the same tone he used on her.

"You can only step out from here when I get all the things I need" Victor warned her.

"Good, do whatever you want. I am not giving you any information"

"We have the whole day to fight, go and fresh up" Victor ordered in a cold tone.

Mia stood in the same place not moving a bit.

"Move" he ordered.

"And how am I supposed to get ready psycho? Is this my place? Where are my things?" Mia screamed.

"Enough, we have more important things to deal with rather than fighting. I need you out within ten minutes" Victor dragged Mia towards the bathroom.

"I can walk, leave me you psycho" Mia punched his hand but failed to free her hand from his strong grip.

Mia glared at him with anger and shut the bathroom door on his face.

"She is going to be a pain in my ass" Victor scoffed walking out.

"Looks like you had enough for the morning" Travis joked when he saw Victor's fallen face.

"I pushed her to get ready. I should talk to her and make her understand the seriousness of the situation. She needs to know that I am not doing this to play with her or use her. Only then she will cooperate with us instead of picking a fight for every little thing" Victor leaned back in his chair.

"We need to do that really fast, we literally have no time" Travis stated fact.

"If she obliges without creating a drama, then it's well and good. If she tries playing with me, she will know what I am" Victor was serious.

"So did you find anything related to her?" Travis questioned.

"Don't worry, we will make her understand this, and we will train her" Travis assured.

"Can you believe, there are no past records about her? All the information we are able to find was from the time she turned 20, none of our sources was able to find any information about her past. The proofs she submitted for work include only a few details. Her marriage registration certificate has the signature of an old man, information found out that he is her grandfather. But there were no proofs, the proof for her driving license too didn't give any clue. I am having various doubts in my mind. Are Hazel and Mia related in any way? Why is everything about her past was such a secret?" Victor tapped on his knee while speaking.
