"Be my daughter's maid." I blinked, trying to decipher his words. Was it code for something?
"I don't get it." I shook my head, confusion etched on my face.
Alexander crossed his legs, his gaze piercing mine. "What don't you get?" he asked, his tone firm but curious.
I took a deep breath, my nerves tensed. His stare was unsettling, making my heart race. I clutched the blanket, my eyes darting to my clothes. I was no longer wearing Alexander's suit jacket but a silk extremely comfortable nightgown.
My eyes widened as I looked to look at Alexander.
"Did you..." I trailed off, my voice barely audible.
Alexander's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What if I did?"
I could feel the heat rising up to my face. I didn't could be embarrassment, or anger or both, but all I knew was that I was wronged.
Alexander had seen me naked few hours ago, but that still didn't give him right to undress me.
My temper flared and I lost control of my mouth.
"You perverted..."
" It wasn't me". We said at the same time.
Alexander face visibly darkened as he growled, his eyes flashing in warning.
I paused my cussing and pursed my lips.
Did he just say it wasn't him? Then who?
My mind went back to the pretty doctor. Could it he the doctor? Amelia?
I glanced at Alexander for confirmation, but his expression was unreadable... Well not exactly unreadable, I could read on expression clearly... Anger.
He took a deep breath standing up and walking towards me, his movements fluid, and checked his watch. "You start work in two hours. I..."
"Work? Which work? " I interrupted.
What work? Coud it be that he wanted me to really be his sex slave...this bastard.
There was no way I would agree to this, even if it meant running away again.
Alexander glared at me, his tone really inpatient. "Did you not heat the part when I told you, you'll be my daughter's maid? Or are you deaf now?"
Oh... That work.
" Sorry, How much do I get paid?" I asked again this time with excitement. Since I've seen how big his house was, I should be expecting a huge amount id money as salary, right?
Alexander's expression turned incredulous. "You're not getting paid."
My eyes widened in surprise as I crossed my arms on my chest, my eyes locked on his. "Why not?"
He loved closee towards me, towering over me, his voice low and menacing. "Can you pay me back the million dollars I used to buy your freedom?"
My breathing increased for two reasons, one he was so close, too I knew I couldn't pay back that amount of money in ten years.
"You're going to be my daughter's nanny without complains until I decide the debt is cleared," he stated, his voice dripping with authority.
I nodded, my eyes fixed on his. He was too close, his breathing sending shivers down my spine.
The door burst open, and a little girl with two cute ponytails and a pink jumper appeared. "Daddy, Aunty Amelia said you were in...here." Her tone dropped when she saw me.
Alexander stepped back, his face softening as he gazed at his daughter. "She's your new nanny, her name's Mia."
Lilly's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with disdain. "I don't want a nanny! They all just want the same thing!"
Alexander crouched beside her, his voice gentle. "Trust me, honey, Mia's different."
Lilly's eyes flicked to me, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "How? Because she's not as pretty as the previous ones?"
I felt a pang in my chest, but Alexander's smirk only fueled my irritation.
"Maybe," he agreed, his eyes glinting with amusement.
I rolled my eyes, my smile forced. "I'll leave you both to talk."
As Alexander left, I turned to Lilly, my voice bright. "Hi, I'm Mia."
Lilly's eyes rolled. "I know, my dad just said so."
I forced a smile, my mind racing. This kid was annoying, but I needed to win her over.
"Ok, what's your name?" I asked, my tone cheerful.
"Lilly. But that would be ma'am Lilly to you," she said, her voice dripping with entitlement.
I bit back my retort, my smile strained. This little brat wanted me to call her ma'am? I'd rather have my tongue cut off!
"Look here, I don't know what you and my dad agreed, but I just want to tell you that he would never like you," Lilly said, her voice dripping with malice.
"Who said I want your father to like me?" I replied, my voice laced with sarcasm.
Lilly burst into laughter. "Of course you do, all of you do."
All of me? What does that mean?
" You better leave now". She whispered as if she had just given me the greatest advise in the world.
" I can't". I dropped the smile, my eyes locked on hers. This kid was indeed her father's daughter – spoiled, entitled, and unbearable.
Plus she wasn't buying my smiles anyways.
" Then..." Her cute voice dropped low "... I'm going to so much frustrate you in this house that you'll regret ever steeping foot here". She threatened.
I won't lie, I was taken aback.
Who is this child's mother?
She glares at me with so much disdain that I shifted uncomfortably on the bed trying to avoid her eyes.
Now I understood the reason Alexander added with no complains when he said I would be his child's nanny.
Because he knew his daughter was just like him both of them being proud and annoying. He was like the devil while she... A little fucking witch!
Mia's POV"Ladies and gentlemen, the renowned artist who came hand in hand with the owner of ALM industries and Hamilton's Enterprise, Mia Andres ". The master of ceremonies of the event announced as I walked on the red carpet and into the event hall. Claps sounded from every corner of the room, and I smiled, waving the guest with my left hand, while my right was held by Alexander who was walking right beside me. " O. M. G, that's Alexander Hamilton". A group of women exclaimed jumping up and down like over excited teenagers. " Really? He is so hot!" Another person in their group said eyeing Alexander. I held his hand even tighter in mine before throwing the women a small smirk and then walking pass them with Alexander and Josh who was behind him. We walked pass them, and after a few more minutes of waving, settled at a far corner. " Imagine how those girls were looking at you just now " I huffed, still glaring at them. " It was almost as if they wanted to eat you alive ". Alexa
Mia's POVHe was here, right here. He came for me. I stared at Alexander who also was staring back at me.His black orbs were staring straight at me as we walked forward. For the first time since I knew him, I was able to read every single emotion in them. Anger, hurt, worry, guilt... And the one I had gotten so familiar with over the last few days before Verona destroyed everything, love. " Alexander". I muttered as I blinked back the tears that had began forming again in my eyes. " Mia, are you alright?" Alexander asked walking towards me. When Gregory and Killian dragged me here, I didn't cry. After getting slapped by both of them, I still didn't cry. Even when my hands felt numb because I've been up here for a few hours now, I still didn't cry... But now, just seeing Alexander's face and hearing his voice which was filled with so much concern for me, and my were already getting teary. " Stop right were you are " Gregory commanded pulling a gun from behind his pants. " Wha
Mia's POVMy cheeks stinged even more and I winced in pain growling under my breath. My entire face felt so sore. Why wouldn't it, in the last hour I had been slapped more than five times by Gregory's huge hands. It was a miracle my head was still stuck to my body right now. And my hands... I wiggled my hands which were handing just above me firmly tied together with a strong rope. The only difference from how I looked right now and a picture of a madman being hanged... Was the fact that my head wasn't the one on the rope. My face had begun to swell from the constant slaps, while my hair which I had previously tied in a pony tail was scattered around my face looking so disheveled. I sure as hell didn't think this was exactly what was going to happen after I left the old lady's house. It has taken me a bit over an hour to get here because of how late it was and how hard it was to find a taxi, and after I did arrive what welcomed me was a hot slap from Killian!My face was pushed
Alexander's POV" What makes you think I care about here?" I growled at Gregory on the phone. I was just with Amelia in the hospital, who had surprisingly woken up when I got a call from the bastard.He said he has Mia and was going to kill her... Why was I going to care about that? I thought.But the truth was that I immediately became terrified." Dear brother, I heard a good source that you're in love with this woman, so... I think you do care ". Gregory said sounding nonchalant. I could bet he had a smirk on his face right now.I clutched my phone tightly and I gritted my teeth in anger.This sounded way to fake to be true.Mia was working for him, she was his ally, why on earth would he kidnap her?" Mia is in my hands, and I advise to come quickly, or else..."

Mia's POVAs soon as I saw the door close, my eyes went back to the food on the table and I rushed it into my mouth. "Uhmm..." I moaned in delight. It was fucking delicious. Or was it just because I hadn't had anything to eat since morning. My stomach had started to hurt, but instantly calmed down as the food went down my stomach. " I did not die from a heart break, I did not die from a car crash, there is no way I'm dieing from ulcer ". I said to myself, taking more bites of the delicious porridge in front of me. After I left Alexander's house, my ulcer cramps became worse. Because I was an artist and public figure, I wasn't allowed to eat much, sometimes not at all, all for the same reason, ' you have to maintain your figure 'For fuck sake I have had this figure even before I became famous and rich. My stomach had suffered a lot, and even after coming here, I hadn't had time to just treat myself to a good meal. Though the ones I ate at Alexander's this past few days, were ama
