Dream On, Cinderella

"Where are we?" Giovanna led the way, and Becca couldn't help but admiring the area. 

"Good evening sir." She greeted the tall old man standing.

"Hello, Miss. Giovanna Salvatore." The man led them, till they reached a long hallway. There were doors of different color.

"Mummy, I feel like Alice In Wonderland!" Becca danced, as she held tighter to her mum.

Giovanna opened the white door, and there was a comfortable bedroom. There were silver drawers, with a huge ice cream bed. There were ice cream pictures on the wall. In the corner, there was a fridge with juices and different flavored ice cream.

"Aunt Giovanna, is this for us?" Becca asked eagerly.

"Yes, of course my love." Mia screamed and hugged her sister.

"Am so happy!!! I can't believe you arranged this all for me and my daughter!!!"

"A cab will bring your stuff into the room. And here there's a private cleaner and maid to do things for you. You just have to put a call through her, and request for foods you desire." Giovanna explained.

"Without payment??"

"Eat for free, sis. The mansion owner will pay for everything." 

"Who's the mansion owner?" Giovanna left with the men. Mia and Becca were delighted to see everything. They could go out of their rooms to see a movie, and even swim in an elegant looking pool. It was more like an hotel.

Suddenly, a lady burst out of her room. It was opposite Mia's. She stormed into Mia's room, and she was dumbfounded to see her.

"Sheila?? What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that question! Bright's birthday night is tonight, and you're here." She folded her arms in so much anger.

"You gave me two days."

"Like I promised, am not gonna take things light with you! I'll call the police! You wasted my fucking time!" Sheila slapped Mia immediately without thinking. Mia burst into uncontrollable tears.

"Am sorry Madam." She knelt crying.

"GET UP AND DO THE NEEDFUL!" Sheila kicked her knee.

"Am sorry..." Becca was so scared, she locked herself up in the bathroom.

"If daddy was here, he would have saved mummy." Few hours later, Mia rushed to Sheila's room with the outfit in a box, sweating heavily.

"Am...am sorry for taking too long." Mia pleaded and gave Sheila the box. A handsome looking guy was sitting on the bed comfortably, and his eyes were rolling up and down Mia's body.

"How old are you, needlewoman?" He asked, and his question angered Mia.

"Sir, am a fashion designer, and not a needlewoman."

"Did you just disrespect me?" The guy took off his dark sunglasses angrily.

"Yeah, and I respected myself." Sheila took a good look at the dress. She had to accept it was perfect. 

"I...I...I love this."

"I didn't expect that.."

"And now you heard it. She handed a huge dollar bundle to her.

"Keep this. See you next week." Mia left her room in silence.

"That dressmaker is really rude." The guy fumed.

"She does her job well. Bright would really love this outfit." Sheila smiled once more.

"Hmm...rude but attractive. I like her too." He folded his arms.

The new house was a little farther than Richardson Textiles, and Mia had to drive extra miles to get there.

"Aaaaaa!!!"

"I don't need another mummy!!"

"Who are all these dogs around you, daddy!" Mia could hear yells right from the gate.

"Who are those crybabies?" Mia entered. She hugged Archie as soon as she saw her.

"What's up? Who are those kids crying?" 

"They are Mr Red's kids."

"Mr Red?" Mia saw the kids and to really mention, they looked like skipping ropes. 

They were the children of a very popular Instagram influencer and billionaire, Red Mercedes, yet they looked like those suffering from a terminal disease. 

"Who are you fucking woman? Here to kiss my daddy? Go to hell!" One of the little girls told her. She was shocked.

"Hello, protein deficiency. We need our daddy! Where did you keep him?!" Another child thundered.

"Who are these children?" The workers murmured. Suddenly, Red Mercedes, accompanied with personal assistants and secretaries, walked down the stairs towards the workers.

"DADDY!!!!" They yelled in unison.

"Hello children!" He reciprocated his kids' hug by kneeling.

"We missed you daddy."

"Good day everyone. Meet my lives, Dolores, Bridget and Bonnie." He introduced each, pointing to them. Their visuals were amazing, but their appearances irritated Mia the more.

"They disturb me a little, that's why I need a nanny for them." Red smiled.

"Mr. Red is so dashing..." Selena and Iris admired him.

"Mr. Red, can I be your kids nanny? I promise I'll do whatever they wish." Iris winked.

"NO!!!!! WE WATCHED IN A MOVIE, A NANNY LATER BECAME THE BABY'S MUMMY! WE DON'T WANT THAT!" Dolores barked. 

"I won't do that. I have a boyfriend already."

"SWEAR!" Bonnie spat on Iris.

"Sir, please."

"As you can see, they don't want you."

"Yes, POLIOMYELITIS!"

"What?!" Iris gasped and everyone burst into hysteric laughter. Dolores and Bridget nodded in agreement to what Bonnie said. They stormed upstairs. Mia and Archie followed to their offices.

"I don't wanna go to school!!!" They screamed crying.

"Hoarse voices...hm." Mia rolled her eyes and worked. Oliver entered her office, and her heart jumped. She had not seen him up close in a while.

"Mia, draft the dress and send it to Sheila's best friend Kayla. Here is her inbox." His fragrance filled her nostrils and before she knew it, he left her office.

"CRAP!" She just threw away the papers and fell asleep.

The atmosphere was all red. There was a red rose garden, with roses slowly falling on the soft green carpet grass. In the middle of the large grassland, there were hummingbirds chirping. Mia was barefoot in a string bikini running and screaming. Oliver was running after her, shirtless. She ran into a rose decorated bedroom and jumped on a bed laughing. Oliver jumped on her and she cackled, nearly crying.

Oliver covered up her mouth with his left palm. She pulled him close and kissed him passionately. He slid his tongue straight into her mouth. She gave a responding sound.

"I love you!" Oliver claimed her waist. He pinned her against the wall near the bed and dominated her.

Mia opened her eyes immediately, shocked and irritated.

"What...me? Eww!" She itched her eyes, picked up her papers and continued her job.
