Chapter 76

Fiona's POV
Fiona decided to let Bryan go since he doesn't even love her one bit. She needs to move on with her life
"Why don't you just do your modeling thing here? Do you have to go to Mexico?" Her mother, Mrs Benson asked
Fiona rolled her eyes, they've spoken about this several times already "Mom, I need to forget Lord Bryan and I need to do that far away"
"But..."
She held her mother's hands before saying with a smile "But I promise to come back with a man"
"You will? Promise me you will"
"I promise, okay? For now let me focus on my career"
"While you find the man" Mrs Benson added
"While I find the man" Fiona chuckled "I'll call you when I get there"
"Please... I love you" she waved at Fiona who just stepped into the car with bodyguards already inside
"I love you too mom"
Fiona drove out. She was travelling out of the country. She had been able to sign a contract with a modelling company in Mexico

Mia's POV
"You know you'll have to see my father before the wedding right?" Mia asked as they ate in Bryan's room
"And why should I? I'm your father and I'm your mother and also your husband to be" mia raised her brow before asking
"So the bride price, you'll bring it to yourself?"
"Correct!" And she giggled
"Seriously, I want to see my dad"
"Hm, okay but what if he refuses. I did a whole lot of bad things that your father might know about . He might not like me" it's not a might, he does not like him that was for sure but Mia's reply calm his beating heart.
"Trust me, I know worse about you and I like you. And forget about my father liking or not liking you. I'll marry you anyways" mia replied and he grinned
"Did you just mean that your husband to be is someone that does bad things?"
"I didn't say that honey" he was taken aback so he looked at her
"You... You called... me honey?" Pointing at himself
"I did honey" she winked and Bryan blushed fire causing mia to burst out in laughter.
He loves to see her laugh. Yes he would only bring laughter into her life from now on wards.
....
Josh was in the sitting room watching TV when he heard a knock,
"Whose there?" He stood up and went over to get the door. The person he saw shook him
"Mia?"
"Hello Father" she smiled
"Lo...lord... Lord Bry...an" he shuttered as he bowed
Bryan let out a smirk
"Come in, come in" he said to them
Mia and Bryan stepped into the house
"Josh, who is-" Linda paused when she saw by herself who had stepped in
"Mia! Mia, my dear Mia"
She fell on her feet, "please my dear daughter Rukky is your sister. Please Mia, please" Bryan frowned, they just stepped in, they've not even be offered seat and Linda was behaving like a desperate cow.
"Mia, I know I've done you wrong in the past, I, I just.... I'm sorry Mia, please" she cried. Bryan ignored her and carefully pulled Mia to sit down. Linda crawled to where Mia and Bryan are now sitted
"Rukky can't cope there, she'll die. Please help me talk to him. Rukky told us you both are a couple now so I came to plead with you the other day but he sent us out, please"
Mia turned to Bryan and saw him smirk. Did that happen? She didn't even know about it. Linda kept pleading and crying till Mia asked the question that's been bothering her since like forever
"I'll like to know why you treated me badly first, mother. I did nothing wrong to you"
"I'm sorry Mia, I truly am-" Linda was cut off by Bryan
"Or you're sorry now because your daughter is in jail? You're apologizing so Mia can set her free"
"No, no I'm really sorry" she was pleading and crying on her knees like someone that has gone mad. Mia stared at her and wondered why she hadn't have something that could do this for her. Her mother wanted her dead and her stepmom never really liked her
"Why did you hate me, mother? I loved you. I treated you like my own mother. I obeyed you at all time, yet you never liked me. Why mother?"
"I did not" she shook her head negatively, indicating that she does not hate Mia
"You did, you and Rukky and father also. Why?!" Mia screamed in tears
"Please, I didn't-"
"It's because of your mother" Josh replied. Mia thought so but she really wants to know how they never knew she died and Logan knew
"Your mother left us. She abandoned me after she gave birth to you. She told me she was taking her baby away too. I begged and begged her not to but she refused. You were not even up to a month. She didn't let me hold you, she didn't let me kiss my baby, she changed. She claimed she loved me, but after your birth she changed.
I didn't know whether to blame her or you who brought out the new her. Even after all my pleading, she left me. I loved her, I loved your mother, Robina" he looked at mia with sad looks making her heart squeezed in her chest. She's not sure she could take it if Bryan left her ever.
"She brought you home once in a while, maybe to see her father and I was glad about it. It made me see her as well she was never in good terms with Linda though. She left me but she didn't want me to have someone else in my life. She was jealous but I can't push Linda away. Someone who has given me a child I saw and held"
"She would stay for three days while you were around, a week sometimes two weeks and after that, she'll leave again till she likes to come back. This continued for five years, five." he indicated with his fingers
"Until one day, you came. I asked where your mother was but you said you didn't know. I took you in and waited and waited if she would come but she never did and slowly it dawned on me that she had abandoned you with us. You looked so much like her, you reminded me of her and it angered me the more" Josh sighed
"I didn't mean to be rude, Mia. But I just couldn't take the fact that she abandoned you and disappeared and went to a new lover"
"Lover" Bryan chuckled. That woman was a witch, she doesn't have time to love
"Yes, we heard from Rukky that your mother tried to kill you Mia. I'm sorry I never knew that"
"Why did you no longer called me Vena? Why did you call me Mia"
"We never knew your name, Mia. Your mother claimed she hasn't given you a name yet and when I wanted to name you, she refused so when you came and I asked, you told me your name was Mia. There was never a Vena". Mia kept quiet thinking deeply, she wondered how someone could be so wicked not to tell the father of her child the name of the child, his own child too.
"I blamed you Mia," Josh brought her own of her thoughts "I blamed you for changing her. Before she got pregnant, we were a loving couple"
Bryan sneer, "she was a witch that was lusting after power, there's no way she could have stayed with or without Mia" and Josh nodded. Everyone was quiet in deep thoughts except Linda who was still sitted on the floor, hiccuping.
Mia knew how much hatred Bryan had for Rukky, she'll just have to give it a try. They answered her questions, filling the gaps she was wondering about.
"Honey..." Bryan froze
He turned to the tiny girl beside him and saw her place her hand on his hand resting on his thighs. She didn't look up at him and kept playing with his fingers
"Can we let her go?" She looked up at him with those sexy eyes
Bryan almost groan, he has been starved sex by Mia who claimed she wasn't going to do that with him until they finally got married. He has to rush the marriage now before the stomach bump.
He swallowed, before saying a "Yes". And Linda gasp
Mia looked at him with wide eyes, even she was surprised. Bryan was getting really soft with her around
"Did you say yes?" Mia asked
"Wasn't your wish my command?" Bryan asked staring right back at her making Mia blush fire.
"I love you" she whispered and that did it
"Rukky will be sent home tomorrow morning by 8am" he said in a hurry as he pulled Mia up with him
"We have to go home" he then turned to Mia "and today you won't escape me" he whispered as he sniff her neck causing Mia's heart to race. She swallowed and said
"We haven't done what we came to do here" she reminded him. They came to inform her father about the marriage
"I think we have, he just cannot refuse" Bryan replied as he wanted to pull her away
"Bryan..." Her voice was soft and tender causing shiver to run through Bryan's body.
'Shit! I love her'
He sat back down and so did she
"I want to marry your daughter" he got straight to the point
Josh's eyes widened. He turned to Mia
"Mia, are you sure?" He has seen Bryan brutal, he has seen him kill, maltreat and do all sort of evil. He knew Bryan to be someone that couldn't stay with a lady. Definitely, he would leave her, Josh feared.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Bryan frowned deeply. That reminded Josh that he was dealing with the almighty Lord Bryan
"I mean, sure, sure. You have my blessings" josh replied. Mia didn't care if it was out of fear or love, she was happy the man has accepted
"Thank you, father" she grinned
"If that's all, we'll take our leave" Bryan stood again only for Mia to pull him back on his seat. Josh kept watching them, Lord Bryan was listening to her every word and obeying her. He could see that Lord Bryan really loves her. She is even calling him by his name
"No, we won't Bryan. Dad, since you're the only one I have now, can you walk me down the aisle?"
"I'll be honoured Mia. Thank you, thank you very much" he smiled and Bryan looked at Mia wondering if they could leave now and Mia smiled
"We should leave"
"I prepared food" Linda announced and Bryan replied
"We have food in our house" he pulled Mia with him.
When they entered the car, Bryan asked the lady beside him
"What do you mean by 'since he's the only one you have left?' What about me?"
Mia giggled "You can't walk me down the aisle, Bryan"
"And why not?" His eyes were fixed on the road. He refused any of his drivers driving them today. He wanted to drive his lady himself.
Mia sighed before she replied him
"It's you I'm going to meet on the aisle, if you walk me down the aisle that means another man has to stand in your position and I'll have to marry-"
"Don't you dare complete that" he warned causing Mia to giggle
