Victor slowly lifted Mia and made her stand straight. He observed how her chest heaved with every breath.
"I am Mia," Mia whispered to Victor thinking that he is looking at her with red eyes mistaking her for Hazel.
"Yeah.." Victor fluttered.
"What was that?" Victor questioned.
"I am trying to walk holding my head up and my heels twisted, I always wore plain shoes," Mia answered.
"Remember the past Mia, you are no longer that. You are Hazel; instill that in your brain. Your talk, your walk, your habits, even your thinking should be like Hazel. Get ready for being her from inside only then you can do things right" Victor ordered.
"What will be the reason for living when I become someone else?" Mia muttered under her breath.
"What?" Victor questioned unable to hear Mia clearly.
Mia just shrugged.
"Go and start the practice again, no mistakes need to be rolled again" commanding Mia, Victor walked towards the couch placed in the room and took a seat.
Mia who was already comfortable with the dress and heels felt a million times more uncomfortable when his eyes didn't leave her. Though she tried concentrating on her walk his eyes made her quiver and she tripped down a few more times.
Victor was beyond frustrated with the new threats, new worries, and Hazel's naked photos with someone shattered him enough. He was unable to take any more stupidity. He barged towards Mia who just had a bruise on her knee due to slipping down near the table.
Pulling her up in swift by clutching her near elbow Victor sharply looked at her. "Do you think all of this is a game? Do you even understand the seriousness? Why are you not concentrating?" Victor's voice sent her shrills.
"This is more than what a human can learn in a day, if you would be in my position you would be unable to learn even a half. You should be at least happy that I am trying" Mia answered back trying to pull her hand from his grip.
"Do I look like a fool to you Mia? Just because I am being all normal to you that doesn't mean you can benefit from that. Remember every single mistake from you here will reflect on your husband's treatment there" Victor's words immediately brought tears to Mia's eyes.
Looking at her eyes, Victor understood the hatred he just instilled back in her heart. All the hard work and sweet talk he did in the morning to make her at ease went in vain.
With the things surrounding him, Victor pushed away the thought of guilt she had for Mia.
"Now listen, I will be watching you and I need you to walk all over the guesthouse covering every room and return here within half an hour that too without any bruise or wound. Go," Victor commanded.
Giving him a disgusted look Mia took a deep breath before leaving the room. Victor stopped the instructors and observed Mia's body language on the screen where the output is being played, which is being recorded by the secret cameras instilled in every corner of the mansion.
Mia felt like kicking away everything and run back to her place, but she knew she was trapped with that psycho who changes his colours for every moment. Though she felt like crying, she didn't let the tears slip out of her eyes and give Psycho one more reason to have the winning smirk.
"Hey Mia, why are you crying?" Travis who was passing from there questioned her.
"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.
Mia chose to ignore the question, but remembering the schooling she received, she immediately formed a fake polite smile on her lips.
"I am just strolling over. Do you need something?" she questioned with a smile.
"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.
"Her husband, what happened to him? How did he end up in such state?" Travis questioned.
"Sources found that some accident took place that made him end up in bed and his obsessive drinking habit deteriorated his health, but I was unable to believe in anything. All this looks unbaked. Mia is a young and beautiful girl, why she had to end up marrying such an old person who has been to prison more than 10 times, and why the hell is she fighting for him? There are many layers to this story. I can't understand anything" Victor went on speaking.
"Something is missing, something is definitely there, Mia is a mystery. Her house owner is a creep who is trying to get into her bed, her husband is psychotic who had issues, she is working nights and days to save him, her mobile or her house has none of her pictures or past memories. Her certificates are fake. All this says something big Travis, we need to find that out" Victor was serious.
"Victor, Mia is not our concern, Hazel is our concern. We need to find reasons for Hazel's sudden exit. We need to know whether she is safe or not. We need to concentrate on her," Travis explained.
"Yeah, I do know that and we have put almost all of our people on that, no one should have any idea about that. I just wish all issues get sorted.
