Father and Daughter

"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.

"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" Mia was adamant.

"Look Mia, don't be like this. Understand my helplessness, just hear me. My wedding is not just an alliance of two people it is an alliance of two powers, it has much more to do. If that doesn't happen it will result in damage which will affect a lot of people than you can imagine. I just want you to be in the place of Hazel until she returns, I will give you anything you want. I will treat you with respect, I will talk to your family and clear their confusion. Just give me their details and I can explain to them everything clearly" Victor requested.

"What does he mean by his marriage affecting a lot of lives? Who the hell is he? Why is his fiancee an exact replica of mine? How is that even possible? Is he even speaking the truth or is this a fake story? Whatever, it is not safe to give our details to a stranger. I will keep my calm no matter what," Mia thought to herself.

"It's not the time for you to stay calm, speak up" Victor shrieked yet Mia kept looking at every possible side ignoring his angry stare.

"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.

"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.

"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.
