Chapter 00003

Mia Point of View

This is the first time I haven't been beaten after being sent out of the house. Other days, I'd be beaten before being allowed to enter the home.

Maybe this was my lucky day; this was also the first time I'll be going out with my father. It appears that my day has been both pleasant and unpleasant.

I'm thrilled and intrigued about where my father is leading me. He paid the cab driver who had driven us to our destination, and we got off.

"Dad, where's this?"I enquired when he rang the bell outside the huge structure. I was excessively curious and couldn't keep my lips quiet.

"Why can't you just be quiet for once? "Just keep it shut!"He ordered, and I kept my mouth shut to avoid infuriating him.

He has never been courteous to me, so why would I expect him to answer my questions? The gate opened, and two big men stepped out, their expressions menacing.

They're so large and tall that I look like an ant beneath them.

"Josh, are you finally here? Lord Bryan has been awaiting your arrival." One of them spoke up while cross-checking me from head to toe, making me cringe.

"Is she your daughter?" he questioned, sweeping his gaze about me. "Yes she's my daughter, Mia."

"Well, no doubt she looks really beautiful." He suddenly muttered something, and I couldn't tell what the look in his eyes was.

"I'm truly sorry for the delay," Dad said, completely ignoring the big guy's final statement, and I was astonished.

*Where the hell is this place? I couldn't help but become more inquisitive with each passing minute.

"Come with me," the other enormous guy, who hadn't said anything before, ordered, and dad followed him after beckoning for me to follow suit, which I grudgingly did.

After a while of walking around the magnificent edifice, we came to a halt before a door. I couldn't wait to see who we were meeting. Dad's casual demeanour piques my interest while simultaneously making me nervous.

"Wait here, I'd go inform him you're here," he said, and my father muttered an "okay" as the guy entered through the door and shut it before I could look inside.

I was disappointed, but I resolved to remain cool because I knew we were going in soon. I kept stealing looks at my surroundings.

The residence is immaculately designed and exudes luxury. If given the opportunity, I would not want to leave this area. I giggled as my thoughts were still buried in the splendour of the interiors.

"You can go in now," the guy's voice snapped me out of my stupor. I grimaced a bit for shaking me out of my reverie in such a way.

"Mia, come on, let's go in." Dad urged me in, and I followed him closely. This is exactly what I've been waiting for.

I went literally blind the instant I stepped into the room. I couldn't see much since the blue light was so weak, and I had to avert my gaze before I could acclimatise to the ambiance of the room.

"Wow.." It escaped my lips before I could contain it. The chamber was glistening with gold, and I immediately wanted to know who was in there.

The chamber is enough to make any lady get down on her knees and worship the feet of the room inhabitant. No doubt, the room is dripping with billions of money.

Money I doubt I will ever be able to earn in my lifetime.

"Dad, whose room is this?"I asked my father, whose mouth was wide open as he looked around the room. He probably hasn't been in this room before.

I didn't get a response from him, so I decided to remain silent and enjoy the view while it lasted.

"Boss!" When I heard Dad call, I turned to face him, my dark blue eyes meeting his hazel ones, and my mouth opened on its own. What the hell— is he actually human?

Rukky Point of View

I stared at my mother as if I could swallow her at any minute. What crap did she just spew out of her mouth?

"Mom, you can't tell me that! I need her back here now!" I yelled, angry, as I stood behind her in the kitchen.

"It is for the best, sweetie. At least we're free of her problems," Mom said, without looking at me.

"I don't need those chitchats, Mom. Who'll be doing the house chores, huh? Don't ever expect me to touch those disgusting items with my hands!"I scoffed bitterly, and she eventually gave me her whole attention.

"Of course, you are not going to do the chores; I am here for you. All you need to know is that she's leaving this house for the best baby.” She grinned, and I scoffed before storming away angrily to my room, not believing her statements.

I need Mia to do the ficking chores, not her! She's only fit to serve us, specifically me! And I am alone! How could they do this to me? How can they conspire against me by delivering Mia to a wealthy man while I am here? What are they trying to accomplish? Are they biased towards me? I can't believe my own parents aren't wishing me well! Gosh!

I needed her out of the home, but not like this. Not this easy!

I am going mad right now.

I cannot let this happen! This is a massive slap in my gorgeous face. I'd have to do something about it; all I needed was a good strategy, and I'd be in control.

Laughs…

"Enjoy while it lasts, Mia Donald." I smirked as I looked at the sole picture we had taken together when we were kids.

We were both smiling brightly in that picture and now, I know this is the exact smile that would be on Mia’s face.

It is my duty to wipe it off!
