Mia
Eyes so dark and cold stares right back into mine.I flinched and dance my eyes around the floor to Avoid his gaze. How can someone be this handsome and at the same time, his eyes were just too cold to look into. Who the hell is this guy?
Gosh! Is he human? How can his eyes be so dark and cold? I couldn't help thinking about these.
I heard retreating footsteps and I lifted my eyes to have a peek. He stood at the window staring into space with his hands tightly crossed behind him.
I took in his features, he's so well built and glittering golds were around his neck and wrists. It seems he's a lover of gold and there's sentily no doubt about it.
"You are late, Josh!"I suddenly heard a cold voice and I wondered whose voice it was that. Don't tell me that voice belongs to that handsome dude? Damn.. he's surely full of surprises.
"So sorry, my lord. Something came up and had dalayed me for a while." Dad bowed his head a little and my brows seized in surprise.
"Lord?"I mumbled underneath my breath as I stared at the Demigod standing a few distance away from me. Why is he called a Lord? Is he some kind of prince or a king? Damn, these people are driving me crazy with curiosity. Why can't they make me understand these things? I scoff inwardly.
"Leave" he ordered and dad immediately turned around to walk towards the door and I followed suit immediately.
"And where do you think you're going?" The handsome dude suddenly sneered, which halted our movement as we turned around to stare at him. I especially wondered if he was insane.
I stared at him, pondering if he wasn't the one who asked us to leave right now.
"I asked Josh to leave,not you!"he barked and I flinched back, almost missing my footing. Why did he have to react that way? Something must be fishy right here.
"Huh? No..t me? Why?"I asked, stuttering as I stared at Dad for an answer but then, he couldn't look into my eyes. What the hell is going on here? This shouldn't be what I'm thinking right now, right? He wouldn't do something like that to me right?
"Didn't you tell her she now belongs to me?"he suddenly inquired, directing the question to dad. While the mouth drops open in shock and surprise.
"I..I haven't lord. There wasn't enough time to do that" Dad muttered. His answer wasn't actually what I was expecting him to say. Something is definitely wrong right here.
"What are you talking about Dad? What couldn't you tell me? What does he mean by I belongs to him? How dad!" I yelled as I stared into his eyes. forgetting he could beat me up at that very moment if he wishes to. I just didn't care anymore. I needed an answer to these questions and only he could give me these answers.
"You heard right, Mia. Your ears weren't deceiving you. You now belong to lord Bryan and you don't have a place in my house anymore. This place is where you belong to now, Mia."dad yelled back with no sign of guilt. He immediately turned and walked out and I tried running after him but was stopped by the cold dude words.
"Don't you dare think of doing that shit!" Those words made my feet stop on their own accord. My back was turned to him and I wasn't aware he was standing closely behind me.
He placed his hands around my waist, I jerked and turned fiercely towards him. Before I could register what's happening, my palm already landed on his flawless cheek. His bloodshot eyes stared right into mine and I cringed.
Mrs Johnson Chapman
I sat in the restaurant patiently waiting for Mr. David. I suddenly saw him walking elegantly towards my table.
"Welcome Mr. David" I stood up from my seat with a bright smile plastering my face and shook hands with him.
"Thanks Mrs Johnson"he beamed and we settled on our seats. "Do you wanna place an order? Don't you want anything?"I gestured to one of the waiters.
"No, no Mrs Johnson, I'm perfectly okay. Let's just get down to business." he smiled and I shrugged my shoulders then waved back at the waiter not to come over.
"Let's get to the point then."I smiled and he nodded, bringing out some files from his bag as I watched with curiosity.
"That's his will, Mrs Johnson" he placed it on my side of the table and I picked it up with shaking hands as I hoped this was for good. I flipped through the first page before reading the contents written on it.
"What?"I shrieked loudly. I just couldn't believe what was written right there.
"If he doesn't get married, he won't inherit the CHAP'S company?"I ask surprised and Mr. David nods positively to my question.
"That's it, Mrs Johnson. He's gonna give it to your step son Dave. Bryan doesn't get married. I guess he wants him to get married on time and become more responsible"he explained and I hit the table angrily. How dare that man decide her son's life?
"How could he do this? I won't let this happen!" I gritted out with my fist clenched tightly as they turned white.
"I also don't want that, Mrs Johnson. Dave isn't best for Mr. Chapman's inheritance." Mr. David uttered. I searched my handbag and brought out some bundles of cash which I passed to him.
"Thanks for informing me about this, Mr David. I truly do appreciate your kindness for reaching out to me."I shook hands with him again before walking out of the fancy restaurant.
I hopped into my car while dialing Bryan's number but it wasn't connecting. I angrily ignited the car engine and drove off in a hurry.
