The Expose
"I pushed her to get ready. I should talk to her and make her understand the seriousness of the situation. She needs to know that I am not doing this to play with her or use her. Only then she will cooperate with us instead of picking a fight for every little thing" Victor leaned back in his chair.
"We need to do that really fast, we literally have no time" Travis stated fact.
"If she obliges without creating a drama, then it's well and good. If she tries playing with me, she will know what I am" Victor was serious.
"So did you find anything related to her?" Travis questioned.
"Can you believe, there are no past records about her? All the information we are able to find was from the time she turned 20, none of our sources was able to find any information about her past. The proofs she submitted for work include only a few details. Her marriage registration certificate has the signature of an old man, information found out that he is her grandfather. But there were no proofs, the proof for her driving license too didn't give any clue. I am having various doubts in my mind. Are Hazel and Mia related in any way? Why is everything about her past was such a secret?" Victor tapped on his knee while speaking.
"Her husband, what happened to him? How did he end up in such state?" Travis questioned.
"Sources found that some accident took place that made him end up in bed and his obsessive drinking habit deteriorated his health, but I was unable to believe in anything. All this looks unbaked. Mia is a young and beautiful girl, why she had to end up marrying such an old person who has been to prison more than 10 times, and why the hell is she fighting for him? There are many layers to this story. I can't understand anything" Victor went on speaking.
"That's what makes you my hero Doctor. It's neither your regular operations nor the speeches that made you Hero to me. It's your failures and the smile with which you start over and over though the failures are pinching your heart every then and now that makes you special. Others are hailed as successful because they never even tried to try something better than what exists. Every genius was once considered a failure by this world and I am proud to say that my Hero doesn't let this world define him. It takes strength, determination, and every bit of nerve to succumb failure with a smile to start afresh, and you do that like nothing. If that doesn't make you a hero, what else will?"
"Something is missing, something is definitely there, Mia is a mystery. Her house owner is a creep who is trying to get into her bed, her husband is psychotic who had issues, she is working nights and days to save him, her mobile or her house has none of her pictures or past memories. Her certificates are fake. All this says something big Travis, we need to find that out" Victor was serious.
"Victor, Mia is not our concern, Hazel is our concern. We need to find reasons for Hazel's sudden exit. We need to know whether she is safe or not. We need to concentrate on her," Travis explained.
"Yeah, I do know that and we have put almost all of our people on that, no one should have any idea about that. I just wish all issues get sorted. Mia has the toughest job to make Hazel's parents believe that she is their daughter. If they get the slightest idea that the one who I am marrying is not their daughter we should be ready to face massive troubles. They entrusted their daughter with us" Victor felt a bit tensed thinking about the consequences.
"Don't worry, we will make her understand this, and we will train her" Travis assured.
"Why do I have this feeling that Mia and Hazel are related? Why can't I get any information about this girl? Why doesn't her house have anything related to her?" Victor kept thinking about Mia.
"Sir, Madam is refusing to wear this" two women walked towards them carrying a dress.
"Looks like your problems have started" Travis chuckled looking at Victor.
"I will see that. You may leave" Victor ordered them taking the dress to his hands.
"All the best buddy" Travis laughed hard when Victor started walking towards Mia's room.
"What is the matter with you? Did you take an oath to say No to each and everything? Why can't you wear this dress? Why can't you just follow a simple order without creating a drama?"
"This is more than what a human can learn in a day, if you would be in my position you would be unable to learn even a half. You should be at least happy that I am trying" Mia answered back trying to pull her hand from his grip.
"Do I look like a fool to you Mia? Just because I am being all normal to you that doesn't mean you can benefit from that. Remember every single mistake from you here will reflect on your husband's treatment there" Victor's words immediately brought tears to Mia's eyes.
Looking at her eyes, Victor understood the hatred he just instilled back in her heart. All the hard work and sweet talk he did in the morning to make her at ease went in vain.
With the things surrounding him, Victor pushed away the thought of guilt she had for Mia.
"Now listen, I will be watching you and I need you to walk all over the guesthouse covering every room and return here within half an hour that too without any bruise or wound. Go," Victor commanded.
Giving him a disgusted look Mia took a deep breath before leaving the room. Victor stopped the instructors and observed Mia's body language on the screen where the output is being played, which is being recorded by the secret cameras instilled in every corner of the mansion.
Mia felt like kicking away everything and run back to her place, but she knew she was trapped with that psycho who changes his colours for every moment. Though she felt like crying, she didn't let the tears slip out of her eyes and give Psycho one more reason to have the winning smirk.
"Hey Mia, why are you crying?" Travis who was passing from there questioned her.
Mia chose to ignore the question, but remembering the schooling she received, she immediately formed a fake polite smile on her lips.
