MasukMIAI didn't leave immediately. I waited till my dad woke up. I'd be spending a lot of time at the hospital so it won't be nice for him to wake up and not see me by his side. He woke up that afternoon, groaning as he moved around and I reached forward to help him sit up. As he saw my face, he smiled and pulled me in for a hug, holding me very tight like I would disappear. “Hey dad, it's okay, I'm here. You're safe. You're safe.”He was breathing heavily in my ear and I knew he was trying so hard not to cry. That bastard had made me see my father in a way that he had never been before. It scared me but I had to be strong for him. “Mia, did he hurt you? Did anything happen to you? He told me you came to the house. What happened, are you okay?” “Dad, you're the one who got kidnapped. Why are you worried about me? Silas crossed the line, he did something I never imagined he would do. I should have known that he was a scum bag and nothing good would ever come out of him. I underestima
MIAThe doctor had come to take a look at him. He was dirty, he had been beaten up terribly and he was on the brink of death. He couldn't even open his eyes to see that I was the one speaking to him but the fact that he was back home comforted me. Silas just couldn't send him back in one piece could he? He just had to hurt him. Regardless, that would be dealt with later. My dad was home. I stayed by his side while he slept. One of my main problems was out of the way, the other,I didn't know how to deal with because how was I supposed to heal Xavier's uncle. I felt this obligation to do something. At this point, Xerxes is going to die if something isn't done. There's little to nothing that can be done if we're being honest. Except I suck it out with a straw…As I sat at my dad's bedside, I called Magma asking for help. She was still back at the house, clearly she was enjoying the pack a little too much. “You want to heal what?”Of course she would find it ridiculous. “Magma,
MIA“What's the time?” Xavier was sitting on the bed with his phone so I was expecting him to answer. He remained silent but my mind was too focused on the gate. I'd been standing there since I got back. My heart was racing in my chest. What if Silas refused to let him go just so he could pass a message to me? What if we had gone about it in the wrong way? Maybe he got pissed about the whole thing and decided that he would definitely not return my dad. It just bothered me to death. “Xavier, what is the time?”I finally turned around to face him and I saw that he wasn't actually on his phone. He was sitting down at the side of the bed with his fingers intertwined between his legs and his head dropped down, very lost in thought. “Xavier.” He finally looked up, his face was red, his eyes equally the same color. The vein in his head was bulging and I could tell he was fighting back something. “What's wrong? What's going on?” He sniffled, wiping his face with the back of his hand
MIAHe froze, not knowing how to react. “Mia…”Tears gathered quickly in my throat as I looked at him, not knowing that my sweet boy was going through so much internal trouble. “I'm sorry. I've not been very fair to you. You've been doing so much to fight for us and I don't appreciate you. You deserve better. Much better than I can possibly give to you. You've sacrificed so much, your inheritance, your father and everything you could own if only you let me go but you left all that for me. You're a good man, Xavier. I don't know what I did to deserve you.”He was still wearing a confused look, trying to figure out what emotion I was wearing. He reached out over the console to hold my hand. “Mia, are you okay?”“I'm not done. Please. I heard what you said, the other night. When you said you loved me, I wasn't asleep. I heard everything you said. I only acted like that because I didn't know if I was ready to say those words to you. I know how I feel about you but hearing you say thos
MIA There was only one thing Silas loved the most on Earth and it was me. He had said it when we first met, and he had kept saying it since that day. He valued me greatly and if he had married me, he would have treated me good in his own oppressive and possessive sick way. Even though I will just be a property to him, I knew that I won't lack food. He would dress me up as a trophy is parade around because he never saw me as a human being. Rather an accessory on his arm. “I will destroy my bracelet and there is nothing you'd do about it.” I spoke without any hint of wear. “Then, I will kill myself. Let my father go by the end of the day or else, you would have yourself to blame.” “Don’t ever say that again!” He looked very angry, very very angry that he stalked over to me and stood in front of me, grabbing my hand. That made Xavier step closer and stand between us. “Let go of her hand. Now.” Since Xavier was taller than me, I didn't see what was going on. I could only hear
MIAVery early the next morning, we set out to Silas’ house. The plan was to catch him unaware and get him to slip up so we had to go early. We had barely gotten out of bed and into our clothes so we were still very much groggy when we left the house and it was impossible for us to even find anything to talk about but we had to just try our best. If we managed to find out that Silas was responsible for this, then we had solved a very big issue. If he was not, then we knew that Aemond was the next person. “Is there any line of action? Is there a certain way you would like to go about it?” I thought about it. “Not exactly. We're dealing with an animal, there's no way to speak to him. Just go in, ask him questions and make sure you notice everything. Silas is very smart, I learnt the hard way. I've spent time with him so I can tell you for a fact that he's cunny and you won't even knle what hits you by the time he comes for you.”If my dad had ended up getting me married to Silas, h
MIA“What did you go to her house to do?” “To talk to her. I wanted to see if I could call her out on her bullshit and get her to drop the claims once and for all. We both knew she was lying, our friends knew it, Xavier knew it. None of them would believe her. She was jealous and evil, that's what
MIA“That’s her father?! Well shit. No wonder he's been asking to meet.”Wait what? That came out of nowhere. “Really? Since when?”“I don't know. But he's been calling my office non-stop. I thought he just wanted to talk about business. I had no idea her name was Madison Pierce.”He placed his ha
MIA“Tell me. I can handle it.” She refused to make eye contact with me,helping me mix my salad. “I just can't do it, Mia. Xavier said to take away your phone and keep you away from the whole case entirely. Now you want me to tell you what people are saying?” They don't understand that I may be
MIAAs soon as we got to the station, they started with their questions. There were two detectives in the room, both sitting down and facing me. Apparently, Madison had been shot. “Miss Winston, I understand your close connection with the Volkov family so it would be in both our interests to coo
