Relaxing Talk

"Shh, calm down Mia. You are just worrying unnecessarily, just relax for a bit, I think you need to eat something first, wait I will bring something for you" Victor pushed Mia back towards the pillow and walked out of the room.

"What does she meant by going three years back? Was her life good before three years? I found all the records and proofs of her only for the three years? Am I missing anything?" Victor deeply thought.

"Sir... Sir" the staff called him out when he was deeply thinking about Mia's life.

"Sir, the food you have asked for" they gave a polite smile giving the tray to Victor.

"You may leave now" they bowed down a little when Victor ordered them to leave.

"Mia, it's time to eat something" Victor brought a forced smile to his lips and walked inside the room where Mia is looking into the hollow space.

"I don't feel like eating" Mia replied.

"You need to take medicines, you should eat. Come on now be a good girl" Victor requested.

"Please leave me, you have my husband, you know I will have to dance according to your tunes as I have no other option left. So, I will do that, stop showing this unnecessary concern towards me" Mia spoke looking into the wall.

Though it was the ultimate test of Victor's patience, he calmed his anger and impatience. Breathing in strongly he walked near to the bed. Placing the food tray next to the bed on the table he sat, until a few minutes back; he settled on the bed beside her.

"This is why you exactly need to eat. You at least need the energy to fight me right? Come on Mia, please eat" Victor requested holding her hands.

"Can I ask you something and will you answer me the truth?" Mia questioned Victor who is holding her hands.

"Yes you may" he smiled.

"Do you suffer from Multiple personality Disorder?" as soon as Victor heard her question, he broke into splits.

"Lol" he laughed out loud but looking at Mia's unmoved expressions, he understood that she was being serious.

"What makes you think so?" he questioned controlling his laughter.

"You. One minute you speak like you are the Lord who took birth to help me, one minute you look worried for me and tries to do everything to make me at ease and in one minute you turn the psycho who bosses me. I am pretty confused, who is the real you? Why are you playing with me with your behaviour?" Mia looked so pure to Victor's eyes while posing the question.

"Mia, aren't all humans like that? You kicked me on our first meet, I saw a lion in you at that time, but you turned a lamb as soon as you saw your husband. You accepted everything but you are fighting every minute. You are behaving erratic, testing my patience of mine at a minute and behaving like a sweet little girl in another. So in this case, do you too suffer from the disease?" Victor questioned her back.

Mia just stared at him with her enlarged eyes.

"Between, it is called as Split Personality Disorder," Victor corrected Mia.

Mia didn't nod or react just kept looking down.

"Look Mia, let's keep the things straight and simple. We are being insane and stupid since yesterday. At least now behave like normal humans. I want to tell you every little thing. But before that you need to eat, or else I would have to wake up the psycho in me" Victor chuckled.

Mia too chuckled a bit looking at his dramatic expression.

"Have this" he pulled the table near to them and arranged the tray near to Mia's reach.

"Why are you being like this all of a sudden?" Mia questioned Victor.

"I am like this, I am not a psycho, Eat" he pushed the tray into her lap.

Mia tore a morsel and a moan escaped her mouth as soon as she ate that. Victor chuckled looking at her and Mia immediately looked down with shyness.

"Sorry, it was involuntary" Mia spoke with food in her mouth.

"I know, the Chefs here are the best" Victor gave a small smile.

"Chef? You have Chefs to cook food?" Mia questioned shocked and Victor was unable to understand why she is so shocked hearing that.

"Didn't you know I am from the Cunningham family?" Victor stressed again.

"I mean, I thought you would have some cooks, but Chefs, oh my God you are lucky and this is yummy" Mia squealed like a kid munching on to the food.

"Have all that you want, because after the wedding you will have to eat accordingly. A few things are banned to eat, while all the things on your plate right now are always hated by Hazel" Victor stated.

"What? How can someone hate this yummy food?" she pointed towards her plate.

"She is diet conscious and everything right now on your plate will help in nothing but increasing calories. Everyone knows her food preferences, so once you step in the household you have to follow the diet she used to follow so that no one gets a doubt" Victor felt guilty.

"So, I should give up on myself to be your agreement wife?" Mia questioned sharply.

The jab in her words was clearly understood by Victor.

"Not on everything, you just have to live up to the mark. After the first few days, we will shift to my personal mansion and you can have the food you want and wear the clothes you wish to but that should be only done under closed doors. We do have several eyes observing our every move. We have to be alert, and make sure no mistake should be committed due to our stupidity" Victor's voice was serious all of a sudden.

"Do you have threats?" Mia questioned with disbelief.

"Do you even live in this normal world like us? God, you need to be trained a lot. Let's start with your damn training" Victor jumped out of the bed.

"I need truth before everything" Mia announced.
