New Troubles
"There's some news," Victor looked tensed.
"Your expression says that we should be serious about that" Travis pressed Victor's shoulder.
"Look over here" Victor fisted his mobile in Travis's hand.
"Holy crap, what the shit is this?" Travis shrieked as soon as his eyes scanned the matter
"I think they are fake" Travis muttered under his breath.
"I am showing them to you only after getting the confirmation from experts. I just can't believe my own eyes now" Victor sounded lost.
"I still can't believe in this. How can Hazel be in such an indecent position with some other? Does this mean she wantedly vanished away?" Travis put forth the question bugging his mind.
"That's the one thing I was unable to understand. She had lots of friends and always wanted to make it big in the showbiz, only to make keep her happy I shifted my base to Los Vegas, where she took acting classes. I promised her that I will try hard to alter the rules accustomed to the Royal Ladies. We were doing good in the courtship period, though I interacted less we were able to share camaraderie. She was so open with me about everything, and whenever I questioned her about past relationships she said she had none. She asserted that she never had the freedom to live according to her choice, and she thanked me every time possible for giving her deserving freedom. Until now I was worried that someone absconded her, but looking at this I am at a loss of words" disgust was evident in his voice.
"Didn't I warn you she looked shady since the start? I warned you against the alliance, we should never try entering in relation with our rivals no matter what. You should have paid heed to my words" Travis was beyond angry on the rival Royal family who entered into the alliance just for their benefits.
"Travis, there is no use digging and regretting over the past, the important thing we should be concentrating on now is the threats surrounding us. This picture screams that our every move is being observed, someone is watching us and they know Hazel is not with us, or is Hazel herself doing all this? I am pretty much fucked up now" Victor just fell back on the couch with his hands holding his head.
"Vic, don't worry. We are secured from every corner no one will be able to do anything to us" Travis assured though he too was unsure of that.
"Really? We are secured? Do you realize someone is observing our every move? They know I am not in Vegas, they know I a staying in your guest house and mailed it to this address. They might even know everything about Mia, damn we need to find what the fuck do they want" Victor screamed irritated.
"Maybe they are doing this for some favor or money?" Travis tried to find the reasons behind this step.
"If they need any of that, they would have made a call or at least send us some warning but we got nothing except these pictures. This asserts that the enemies are with a plan, they want something else. Now I don't even know what we should be doing" Victor stomped his feet.
"Vic, if this is done by Hazel herself, we too have proofs against her and this picture is one of those. If there's someone behind this then we should try to find them but until then you should go and follow your plan. Because we all know the extremes we will have to go through if the wedding gets stopped," Travis pressed Victor's shoulders.
"Travis, alert our people. Put detectives on the work. We need to know about the people and their motives behind this. One more thing recruit the top-level spies, we need to have a close look at Hazel's family; more on her parents. This wedding is an alliance from which both the parties are going to be benefitted but I do feel we can find something from them. I felt fishy about their behaviour, we can't call of this wedding now for many reasons and the newest of the reasons being Mia replacing Hazel. I need to find out why Hazel has pulled such an act at the last minute. We need to deal with many things. God…" Victor leaned back on the couch.
"You have an addition to your problems… Mia, she is not giving you any easy time" Travis chuckled.
"I know it's tough on her but why is she literally draining my patience. Do you have slightest of the idea how I am controlling my anger and irritation at her? I just wish she listens to me without waking up the beast inside" Victor slammed the door walking out.
"Madam, no you should not raise the shoulders. Just keep walking erect with a gracious smile, which looks polite. Not like a wide grin. Keep it simple but that should look elegant" the trainer instructed Mia who is trying to learn the things mentioned in the chart.
"I am sorry for cursing you Almighty, now I understood why you didn't make me take birth in a Royal compound. God, their rules and regulations are suffocating. Hearing stories about the big mansions and a world full of servants working under them, I was mistaken that their life is a bed of roses not understanding the fact that thorns do lie beneath the petals of a rose. Please give me freedom, I can't suffocate my soul in this breathtaking away gown" Mia cried to herself walking all the way through the lane as commanded by the trainers.
Though they constantly instructed her to look straight Mia's eyes were on the ground as she feared she would break her bones falling on the marbled flooring. True to her fears her pointed heels titled, and Mia's body immediately lost balance, the minute her body came into the contact with the rock-hard thing, she closed her eyes.
Feeling hot breath of her nape, Mia slowly opened her eyes only to meet the reddish eyes of Victor who is staring at her with unexplainable emotions.
