Chapter 34

Mia POV

"Where again, Mia?" Bryan walked closer to me with his questions as I had my fair getting fixed.

"Doing what we planned much earlier, babe," I responded shortly with a smile at this time.

"Please just be safe for me," he said, giving me a quick peck on myself.

" Okay..." I stood up with a deep breath while Ethan just couldn't get his eyes off me quickly.

His eyes licked into mine with a much more caring face this time.

"You pervert," I smiled.

"You are more of a pervert than I am." We both laughed and ended with a hug.

We walked down the staircase with chatter and laughter towards each other.

"Mommy," I turned back quickly.

"Alexander," I smiled, stretching my arms towards him to receive a hug.

"Mommy, where are you going?" As he embraced him quickly, he made his way to ask the question, which I smiled at.

"Mommy, are you going to get something for the house?" I lied to him.

"But Anita could go, so you can stay," Ethan interrupted.

"No, she's the main mother of this house and needs to get things for herself," Ethan helped by also lying to the young boy.

"Okay, mommy," he said, smiling and giving me a smile.

"Yes, sweetheart," I said, kissing his forehead.

"Mommy," he called as I tried to discard him.

"What, sweetheart?"

"I saw the young man in my dream." Ethan interrupted my words with another look towards him.

" Who?" He questioned, giving a Stern look.

"The man who took me away from the house when you bought it left," he smiled, feeling so free.

" Andrew?"

"Yes, that's his name," I smiled fakely.

"Mommy," I interrupted his word.

"Ethan, I have to go now!" I said it with a smirk.

I quickly walked out, standing in front of one of the Jeeps, packed almost close to themselves. I stood for a while waiting for Ethan to be done with his child and talk, but standing there just gave me a lot of thinking on how to just get Andrew out of my way.

"Why did you take so much time?" I asked as soon as I noticed the presence of Ethan.

"Why panicking?" He questioned.

"You quite don't understand," I said, forcing a quick smile on my face.

"So, just calm down; slow and steady always win," he said as soon as a driver came closer to one of the Jeep's and opened up the back door.

"Have you called him?" Ethan asked again.

"Yes, his home is waiting for me," I said with a quick frown.

"Smile," he reacted, pulling my chick from side to side to give me back my smirk, which was I just hiding, knowing that I was about to do something crazy.

"Wish me luck." As I said those words, I walked out if he were walking into the car.

Ethan didn't even give me a reply but a positive smile. Soon, the driver just drove me off the huge mansion.

As the trip continued, my heart just kept on racing with anxiety and a lot of thought, thinking of what I was about to do.

"Madam," the driver quickly snapped me out of the thinking stage.

" What?" I reacted, looking as if I were angry with him snapping me off.

"Where are we stopping?" he questioned.

"I gave you an address, right?" I hissed.

"Yes, but that's a strict estate, ma'am," he said, still on his wheels. "People hardly go in there.".

"Strict estate?" I repeated, my mind racing fast.

"Well, ma'am, that estate is owned by a very wealthy and influential person. They have tight security, and not many people are allowed in." he said.

My heart skipped for a beat as I processed this information. I had expected Andrew's estate to be luxurious, but I hadn't anticipated it to be this secure and tight.

"Don't worry about that; I have an appointment there," I said confidently.

"Okay, ma'am," he replied, his tone still the same.

As we both approached the estate, I could see that it was surrounded by high walls and iron gates for security.

The driver stopped the car quickly at the entrance and announced our arrival through the intercom for the securities officer.

After a brief moment with the guard, the gates swung open, and we drove into the estate.

The driver pulled up to the front door of the mansion and turned off the engine of the Jeep.

"Here we are, ma'am," he said, turning to me with a hint of curiosity while my heart kept racing.

I took a really deep breath, smoothing my dress and composing myself before stepping out of the car.

The driver followed, opening the door for me and escorting me to the entrance of the huge mansion.

As I walked into the foyer, I was struck by the beauty of the interior.

"Welcome, Mia," a voice called out from the top of the staircase, to which I turned back.

I looked up to see Andrew descending towards me, a smile spreading across his face while mine turned to a frown.

"Andrew," I replied, my voice steady despite my racing heart going faster than I expected.

As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he extended his hand, and I took it slowly, allowing him to lead me into the mansion himself while keeping the driver out.

"I must really say, you look so stunning."

"Thank you," I replied.

We walked into a luxurious living room, and I couldn't help but notice the eerie silence of the estate.

"Can I offer you anything?"

"No, thank you," I replied, my eyes scanning the room for any signs of danger or anything that could take my life.

"Very well then," he replied, his smile faltering.

"So, beautiful Mia, what brings you here today?" He asked with a calm tone.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come at this point.

"I think you actually know why I'm here, Andrew."

His eyes narrowed slowly, but he just said nothing, simply gesturing for me to continue with my words.

"I really want you to leave my family alone," I said, my voice firm and serious.

"Oh, Mia. You really are so naive, aren't you?"

My heart gave a fast race as he took a step closer to me.

"I'm not going to leave your family alone until I have you back," he said, his voice dripping with malice.

"In fact, I'm going to do everything within my power to destroy them and get you."

My blood ran quick cold as I realized the true extent of Andrew's hatred towards whom I love. I knew I really had to act fast or risk losing everything I held close to my heart.

"Andrew,you know I'm not going to let that happen," I said.

"You're no longer a match for me, Mia. I have the power and the resources to do whatever I want and do whatever I choose."

"We'll see about that, Andrew," I said, my voice dripping with confidence.
