Mia by Chinda Stephanie

"Miss he is here," Liam said bowing down before Mia Baska

Mia Baska is his boss. She rules the underworld. No one has ever seen her face but she is known worldwide as the dreaded Baska. Her only background detail found was that of her family. She is the last child and daughter of Louis Baska, owner of Baska's Industries Limited. She lived with her family for fifteen years as a rebel. She always hated her father because he mistreated her mother right in her presence. Due to his behavior, Mia lost her five siblings; Liam, William, Lucas, Sophia, and Isabella in a fire accident which was caused by her father to punish her mother.

Mia had enough of his behavior and left the house and no one heard of her until one day when she matched with a group of people which comprised of ladies and guys into the Baska's Industries headquarters after four years of disappearance. She wore a black balaclava which covered her face leaving only her brown eyes.

The security guards present were unable to stop her troop from going into the premises as they looked stronger than them. Mia raised her hand as she got to the entrance of the building. Her troop responded immediately by halting and she walked in with two men also putting on the balaclava. Everyone in the reception office stood up as they stare at them in awe. Mia looked not at them but her path. The receptionist a blonde-looking lady who seemed to be in her thirties smiled sheepishly as she stared into Mia's eyes. She looked away noticing that she might be annoying her.

The guy at the right of Mia spoke "Where is Baska?" he said

Everyone shrieked as his voice sounded cold and uncaring. The receptionist glanced at the three people in front of her and nodded "He is not around" she said

The guy at Mia's left spoke "You would not want us to go and search for him ourselves, would you?" he said with the same intensity just like the right man spoke

The receptionist directed her attention to the unmoving lady in front of her. "Ma'am believe me he is not in his office. He will be back soon" the receptionist said looking unsure

Mia placed her arms behind her back making it the only movement she has made ever since she stepped in. That gesture only made everyone in the room tense. The receptionist's eyes dilated as she began sweating profusely. The two men beside Mia paused and glanced at their boss and then to the receptionist "You are sure he is not in his office" the right guy said

"Yes, a hundred percent sure. He stepped out a while ago" the receptionist said wiping off the sweat flowing down her face

The two guys stared at Mia who now is staring at one of the corridors in the room. The receptionist's office had four corridors. Two at the sides of the receptionist's table and another two facing the receptionist's table. She stared at the one on the right side of the receptionist before she began moving towards it. Her troop trailed behind her but before she go into the corridor she halted and snapped her finger and a man came into the receptionist's office. She snapped her fingers again and pointed each of the corridors and the three men with her dispersed and stood before the corridors. She ensured they were all standing at the corridors with their weapons ready before stepping into the corridor.

The receptionist dialed a number on her telephone but it did not go through and it only made her sweat the more as she glanced at the men standing at each corridor except for the one Mia walked into each holding AK-47 firmly. After a few minutes, a ruffling sound was heard as things fell to the ground before a man ran out of the corridor Mia walked into leaping and bleeding. He ran to the exit but another man stood glaring at him and he stepped back panting.

Mia stepped back out of the corridor with her arm still behind her back. She walked calmly and briskly towards the man and he fell to the ground and folded his hands. "Please, please leave me alone. Who are you?" the man said

Mia squatted before him and glared at him. He moved back but Mia also moved forward. He intended to stand and run but one of the guys walked to him and held him firm as Mia stood and walked to them and everyone finally heard her voice.

"Don't you remember me, dad? Mia your daughter" she said with a commanding and manipulative tone

"Mia? Wha... what is all this about? And... and why did you... you shoot me?" Louis Baska said stammering

"Questions. He dared ask me questions" Mia said looking at her troops and slapped Louis Baska and he began crying

Mia snapped her fingers and a lady dressed in a black and white suit stepped in and gave Mia some documents which had a pen attached to them. Mia handed the papers to Louis and said "Sign them and your questions will be answered"

Louis Baska hesitated and smiled which showed his bleeding gums as a result of Mia's slap. "I won't," he said

Mia brought out a gun and directed it at his forehead. "I'll kill in just thirty seconds if that document is not signed within that time," she said and immediately the lady in a suit began counting

"One, two, three, four..."

A scream was heard which made the lady pause counting. "Mia stop this. Is this how you treat your father after four years?" Marie Baska, Mia's mother said

"Look at how old you look even though you are just in your forties. Tell him to sign it and I won't kill him"

After a lot of pleading from Marie and torture from Mia's troop, Louis Baska signed the papers and was kicked out of the premises.

“What papers are those?" Louis asked as he finally dared to ask again

“Property papers," Mia said and turned around

Louis Baska leaped as he walked away. “Stop" Mia yelled and Louis Baska halted and turned around

“Remember me," Mia said and walked back into the company's premises
