Chapter 3 Kidnapped the wrong Mia

Mara tried her best to drive as fast as she could, trying to avoid the raven car behind her but her efforts were useless, as the car drove in front of hers, blocking her path.

She swiftly shoved her hand into her car's pigeonhole and brought out her gun, hiding it in her black leather jacket.

"Come down from the vehicle now!" One of the tall, heavily bodied men commanded her, and she did as she was told without putting up a fight.

She went with them into the car and they took her to a place she knew nothing about.

The king's POV

Why is it that I am always surrounded by the wrong set of people?.

I was about to go into my room when I saw the men I hired to kidnap Mia 10 years ago dragging a girl into my palace.

"Excuse me, who is this?" I looked so confused and lost as I went closer to the girl who was well-endowed with the features of a woman.

"She is the one your highness," the tallest who was their leader said as he threw her on the floor.

"Mia" I whispered to myself as I looked at the three of them.

"You may live, you will get your money later" I waved my hands in the air, gesturing for them to leave.

"So I have finally laid my hands on my little bunny?" I smiled as I looked at Mia and caressed her face.

"I think this bunny should stay with its mum before it dies" I removed my hand from her face and dragged her along with me, while she walked with me. The look on her face showed that she wasn't expecting my last statement.

"Relax darling, I have kept your mum alive so you both can have your lovely long-awaited reunion'' I smiled at her before I opened the door to Catherine's room halfway and tossed her inside. I locked the door and went away, leaving them to each other for now.

Mara's POV

My mum? What is he even talking about? I looked at the woman in front of me. She looked like a total mess, her hair was tattered and she sat on the bed with her face resting on her knees, she looked like she had been through a lot, although I hadn't seen her face yet.

"Who are you?" I whispered as I tried to get close to her, for a second I assumed she must be mad.

She slowly lifted her head and looked at me with weak eyes, dark marks rounded her eyes and I could easily tell that she had been crying so much, she looked so distressed and when she saw me she pulled me closer and enveloped me in a tight hug, kissing me behind my ear. At first, I wanted to run away from her but I felt so comfortable in her arms. Despite how unkempt she looked, she is still looking beautiful and if I didn't know who my real mother was then I would assume that I am a younger version of her.

I don't know why but she just couldn't stop crying as she laid her head on my lap.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.." she was talking but stopped and at first, I thought she fainted but she just fell asleep on my lap. I tried to place her on the bed but it seemed impossible as she held onto my hand very tightly and clung to me.

I rested my head on the board of the bed. I also wanted to sleep and think that all these scenarios were nothing but a dream, but I remembered that I was still holding my gun. Those fools couldn't even search me before bringing me here, my phone and my gun were both with me.

I somehow managed to remove her head from my lap and lifted the mattress before placing my gun and phone underneath it. I climbed the bed and wanted to fall asleep, at least now the weird woman was off my lap, but I didn't feel comfortable until I placed her on my lap again.

At Mia's and Rose's apartment

"What are you thinking about?" Mia asked her friend who was busy with a textbook.

"Nothing" Rose tried to lie but she would have known better.

"Mason?" Mia took a random guess, Rose just looked at her and remained silent.

"You are in love with Mason right?" Mia asked Rose as she stood up from her chair, and went to sit beside Rose.

"Yes," Rose found herself confessing as she wiped her tears.

"Okay," Mia pressed her lips and went back to her chair.

"Just okay?" Rose was quite astonished by her friend's plain response but she wasn't too shocked though.

"Yes," Mia walked away.

"Mia?" Rose called out to her friend as she wiped her face and followed her.

"Yes," Mia gave a faint yet obvious smile.

"Will you help me find Mason's family?" Rose cried out.

"Sure" Mia walked away from Rose again, and went to sit down in the chair she stood up from initially.

Mia was behaving more strangely than she usually did, normally she didn't talk but something was wrong and Rose just couldn't lay her finger on it. Even Mia couldn't understand what exactly was wrong with her because she just felt very restless all of a sudden.

"I think I'm not feeling fine" Mia said in a low tone and when Rose placed the back of her palm on Mia's neck, she discovered that Mia's temperature was just fine.

"Mia you seem okay" Rose shook her head in some kind of disbelief, as she helped her friend get to the bedroom, as Mia was looking dizzy, and her skin had also turned bluish.

"Mia...you are?" Rose was short of words as she made her friend stand up from the bed and stand in front of a mirror.

"I'm blue" Mia touched her face. She couldn't believe that she had turned icy blue.

"Maybe you should rest," Rose suggested as she placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
