“Mia?”Mia stopped and Harrison stopped beside her when he saw her reaction. They both turned around and Mia froze.Harrison traced her eyes to the young man standing a few steps away, dressed in an expensive shirt and a cocky smile spread across his lips that didn’t reach his eyes.Mia stared at Roy, he looked exactly the same as the last time she had seen him, too arrogant, sure of himself, and completely without shame.Her fingers curled at her side, and the color drained out of her face, her expression hardening.Roy’s lips spread into a broad smile, without permission, he walked straight up to Mia, opened his arms and pulled her unto a tight hug.Harrison blinked, stunned to see how forward Roy was and how Mia was still without resisting.“I miss you so much, Mia.” Roy whispered and leaned back slightly, before she could push him away, he leaned in and tried to kiss her.Mia shoved him hard in the chest. “Don’t touch me,” she said, her voice cold.Roy laughed, as if her anger was

Harrison and Mia went to a cafeteria a few miles from Mia’s place, they sat by the window and ordered coffee and sandwich.“What happened to you?” Mia asked after staring at his face for a while, it was faint but she could still see few bruises on his face.“I am fine.” Harrison assured her, but she shook her head.“Janet and David came to my office last night, they said you were at the hospital, I was so worried, I checked the internet but there was no accident that happened at the country side, and I tried calling you multiple times but there was no response, I couldn’t sit still and---“Harrison quickly reached over the table and held her hand, she paused her lips as he squeezed it tenderly and met her gaze.“I am here, see…” he said softly and tilted his head. “I’m right in front of you, I’m good.” He added and she closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.Mia opened her eyes again. “Janet and David made it seem like you were badly hurt, and I began regretting not taking your

The video of Janet’s ridicule at the dinner hit social media and spread fast. David happened to come across the video when he was scrolling through Instagram, and his eyes dilated to see the clip everywhere.It showed Janet at the dinner table, eyes lowered, expression pale, while Harrison’s voice mocked her. Someone who filmed it had posted it, now thousands of strangers were watching, commenting and sharing.“What?” David stopped scrolling, his thumb froze on the screen as he watched the video twice, each viewing made his stomach twist hard. He knew that look on Janet’s face. He had seen it before when they hadn’t let them go into a banquet, this time the whole internet was watching her break.David quickly scrolled to Janet’s number to call her, but hesitated. “No, I should over to her apartment and see her.”He grabbed his keys and drove straight to her place.Janet’s apartment was quiet when he arrived, the curtains were drawn, the lights were off, David entered her key code sinc

Helpless, Anna sent Mia a voicemail instead. “Hello, Mia, it’s Anna, your boyfriend is here to see you, come home once you hear this.” Anna ended the call and lowered her phone.She took a step to head back to the living room, but stopped. “What if she don’t listen to the voice note.” She muttered to herself, and decided to send a text as well.When she returned to the living room, Harrison stood up and searched her eyes, but Anna shook her head.“I sent her message, hopefully she would see it and come home since she isn’t taking my calls.”Harrison nodded slowly. “Thank you for telling me. Can I wait a little?” he asked. “Maybe she will come back when she sees the message.”Anna agreed. She brought him a glass of water and sat across from him. “So I heard about you from my mother, Mia seem thrilled to be dating you, do you love my sister so much?”Her question made Harrison blink, he pressed down his lips and thought back at how Mia had told him they should fake date.He exhaled and

Harrison continued without stopping. “She believes she could take what belongs to someone else through tricks and false promises.”Whispers spread through the restaurant, people stared, and few cameras turned toward Janet. She felt every pair of eyes on her.Janet stood up quickly, her chair scraping the floor. She tried to keep her head high, but shame burned her face. She could not defend herself with real proof.She seethe at Harrison and grabbed her bag, without looking at President Greta, she walked fast toward the exit keeping her head down as she used one hand to cover part of her face, trying to hide from the many eyes and the cameras that followed her.President Greta rose to her feet and lowered her head to acknowledge him, when she met his eyes again, she gave a small, knowing smile.“I was only listening to her, I never planned to change the agreement.” Present Greta explained.Harrison nodded once. “I know, I just wanted to make her leave without much bickering.” He pulle

The next day, Harrison’s phone rang when he was done showering at the room Isabella had given to him, Isabella had knocked and told him to come out for breakfast when his phone rang.He picked the call since it was from his butler. “Sir, I have news about Miss. Mia. She did not go to the meeting with President Greta today.”Harrison’s brows creased. “What do you mean she didn’t go?”“Her assistant Lily haven’t heard from Miss Mia after she left the office looking disturbed. I think this has something to do with Miss. Janet’s visit last night.”Harrison’s face hardened. He already knew Janet was capable of dirty tricks. He did not wait for more details. “Keep me informed of Mia’s location after you successfully track her.”“Understood,”Harrison quickly grabbed his coat and rushed out of the room. Isabella turned her gaze from the dining chair where she had been waiting for Harrison.“Are you going somewhere?” She asked and Harrison paused he turned to her, her brows was already crease
