Chapter 49 - Fake it till you make it

"I told you this is not the way to deal with her. Tell me who the hell are you and we want your details" Travis pointed the Gun on her forehead and this time Victor didn't ask him to avert it.

"Maybe people fear the power you have and not you" his subconscious mocked him taking it as a cue.

"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.

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 fiancée 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.

"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.

"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.
