XAVIER

Every time I closed my eyes, I pictured my father sitting across from Mia and asking her questions.

‘For research purposes.’

What the fuck did that mean?

I’d been trying not to be paranoid. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was calculating, sure. Strategic, yes. But he was still my father and I knew him well enough he didn’t do things just like that.

Showing up at the library the second I left was already suspicious enough. Because he made sure I wasn't there for a reason.

    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

    MIAWe looked like we were in school. Xavier was the teacher and I was the student. He stood in front of a board with a marker in his hand and a pointer in the other. We had been drafting out different things that important to the investigation. Wesley still hadn't found anytbing about him and neither had Xerxes. I wasn't putting a lot of pressure on Xerxes due to his health so I just hoped that Wesley would have good news for me. It had amskt been a week since we got back and we didn't have any good news. Since the first day, I hadn't heard anything about the kidnappers or what they wanted and my dad's phone was still turned off. I didn't want to believe that anything bad had happened to him. “Tell me, what do we know? If Cornelius says he didn't do it, who else would be able to do such a thing? We need someone with a grudge against this family to do that.”That made me burst out laughing and Xavier turned to look at me like I'd gone mad. “Forgive me but my family has too many e

    MIA“Mia, there is someone at the gate to see you.”I looked away from my phone. “See me? Who is it? What does he want?” I initially thought that it was Xerxes but he would have driven into the compound already. I followed the maid outside to see who it was. He was standing outside his car in an all white suit with his hands in his pockets. There was a smile on his face we he saw me come out. It took just a second to recognize who he was but it eventually it auddnely clicked. There was an unsettling feeling I had in my stomach, leaving me feeling very cold. Xavier came out of the house and I didn't even know he had been following me. “Is that not-”It was him. He had the audacity to be here after what he had done. How did he even find this place, of course, it wouldn't have been very hard for him. I made a move to go over to him but Xavier held me back. “What do you think you're doing? You want to go to him and then what? You'd hit him?”“Why don't you let me go first?” He

    MIAIt had been two days since we got back to the city. We still hadn't found any vital information on where he was or where we could find him. I didn't want to believe I was losing hope but I was beginning to feel it. Coupled with the fact that I'd found out Xerxes secret, I hadn't been able to think properly. Since we got back from the house, he had been quiet. His shoulders hung low and he didn't eat last night. He just walked to his room and closed the door. I wanted to reach out to him and tell him that he wasn't alone but I couldn't. He didn't come down for breakfast the next morning and I waited for him at the table but I still didn't see him. There was no way I could eat so I went up to his room. At first, I placed my ear at the door to check if I could hear anything movements inside but when I didn't, I knocked. There was no response so I knocked three more times. That was when he came to open the door. His eyes were puffy, his hair was rough, he leaned against the d

    MIAThe next day, we went to see Xerxes. Originally, I didn't want to go because of my anger but I needed to know what they had found out and if they had my new information so against my own will, I dragged myself to the house in silence..Xavier and I still hadn't said anything beyond the context of the case. It felt like me asking him to come to bed the other night hadn't happened and I liked it that way. I didn't want him to feel comfortable so easily and he'd think we were on good terms all of a sudden. I had showed him his room last night and he walked slowly to the door. “Goodnight.”As I turned away, he called my name. “Will you be able to sleep alone tonight?” I actually wanted to say no because I knew I would be up all night thinking about the whole thing but I didn't want him to think I needed him to sleep. “Yes, goodnight.”He must have known that I didn't sleep a wink from the eye bags under my eyes but he didn't say anything. As we pulled into his uncle's house, it b

    MIAI could feel life draining out of me. My eyes had closed for a bit but that was only until I heard Xavier's voice outside. He sounded very angry and I wanted to go check to make sure that there was nothing wrong and he wasn't fighting with anybody. But my legs wouldn't work, for the life of m

    MIAXavier strolled in like some hero who had just finished a mission, breathing heavily, sweating profusely, looking like he had truly just come back from hell. “How on earth did you get here before me?”I scoffed. “Don’t ask.” “Why didn't you come with me? I looked for you around but I couldn'

    MIA“Are you ready? You can't back down now.” Elara gave me a look and sighed. “I should be asking you that. What if you get caught? What will we say?” That won't happen. That can't happen. I won't allow it. Xavier surely won't allow it either. The plan was simple. Get in and get out. As simpl

    XAVIER“What-what are you telling me? What does that even mean?”My brain wasn't processing thoughts right now. And certainly not what she was saying. She remained silent, staring at me like she hadn't just said words that confused me. “I’m saying…she's here. Mia. Well, not her.”The frown on my
