Chapter 3 Three

Jake nodded in response and looked at the lady in front of him. "How did you manage to get here," he asked still with his serious face. "Duh, we walked. How do you possibly think we would use to get here when you left us in the middle of nowhere!" She yelled. Her sadness changed into anger as soon as she remember what she and Lina had gone through. She then suddenly realized the man beside her is her real husband. "Oh, yeah. Can you please open the gate? My friend has been waiting outside," she added. Jake looked at the girl outside the gate who is still wondering what has happened inside. Jake signaled his men to open the gate. "Where's the stairs," Mia asked. Jake pointed the stairs near them and Mia went down to see Lina. "Miss, what happened?" Lina asked as soon as they meet. "Long story," she answered. When she turned, the men are already gone, so was Jake. The only person who is with them is the big man she saw a while back. "Lady, please follow me to your room," the man with beard politely said. The tone of his voice changed, from frightening into a calm one. His serious face also shifted. The man lead them to a hallway until they reached its end. They stopped beside the door. "Miss, this is where you sleep tonight. Your friend will be in another room on the first floor," the man explained. "Wait, can't we be in the same room? I don't trust all of you," she directly said. The man's reaction did not change. "No, the lady should be in the master's bedroom. Her friend will stay in the guest room," the man explained again. Wait, what?! Master's bedroom? Does that mean that Jake is inside this room? She asked herself. The man immediately got what the lady is thinking and said, "don't worry miss, boss went to the hideout to handle some matters. You sleep here alone," he explained. Mia embarrassed herself again. What kind of mind does she have? She's always imagining things. "Uh, thank you. May I know your name?" She asked. "Please call me Sergio," he said. Mia smiled at him and went inside the bedroom. Sergio then lead Lina to her room after the lady entered her room. Meanwhile, as Mia opened the door she was amazed by how big the room is. It was dark but the light coming from the moon let her see the inside. The king-size bedroom is colored black. The sofa and tv are also black. The carpet is black, so is the door beside the tv. She opened it and saw the bathroom. She felt the urge of taking a bath after the long journey she had gone through. She felt sticky and her hair is a total mess. She saw a white Sergioe hanging beside the bathtub. She filled the tub and soaked herself feeling the warmness inside her. "Aaah, so refreshing," she exclaimed. After her bath, she got the Sergioe and covered herself with it. She got her dirty clothes and put them inside the basket. She then saw the walk-in closet and realized she doesn't have her clothes with her. They left it at the van when they followed Jake and his men. "Ha! I'll borrow clothes from him. Besides, he is the reason why I don't have clothes now," she said and entered the closet. As soon as she entered she was amazed by how organized it was. White clothes on the left side and black on the right side. His shoes are piled on another side. She saw a table with a glass cover in the center of the room. There she saw watches, rings, shades, and his ties. 'Wow' are the only words that escaped from her mouth. When she felt really tired she went to the white section of Jake's clothes and grab a shirt. It was really big that it was like a dress on her. She was wearing only the shirt that showed her sexy body and white long legs. After changing she went straight to the bed and slept immediately. ... "Have you cleaned the mess?" Jake asked Dexter, his best friend / right hand. "Yes, I've sent our men. Ms. de la Costa's driver was also there," he answered. Jake just kept quiet and sipped his wine. Dexter then remembered Jake and Mia's marriage. "Jake, what are you going to do? Are you really a married man now?" he asked as he drank the wine Dexter bought from an expensive club. "The old man has already arranged everything. But send Mr. de la Costa's daughter home tomorrow," Jake directly said as he continued to drink his wine. His friend just nodded as he also sip the wine from his glass. ... "Good morning lady," Mia heard a chorus inside the room. She's still sleepy but the voice and the strong brightness kept her from sleeping again. She slowly open her eyes and saw three ladies standing in front of her. "Aaaahhh!" She screamed as she covered her body with the quilt. She looked at the ladies and they're wearing white uniforms. They look like maids in this mansion. They were smiling at her that made her conscious of how she looked right now. "Hello miss, we are here to help you get ready. Master is waiting for you downstairs," one of the maids told her. One was holding a red dress while the other is holding a stilleto. After they dressed her, Lina entered the room while chasing her. It looks like she had run a marathon. "Ahhh! This mansion is really big. I have been looking for your room since the sun went up. AtlastAt lasts able to find you," Lina explained as she went near Mia. She helped her tie her long hair that made her even more attractive. "OMG, you're so beautiful my lady. Mr. Qin should prepare his jaw when she sees you hahaha," she said as they both giggled. "Stop it," she protested, he still doesn't know the man. She should be cautious or she'll never see her father again. Although, she liked the idea of Jake dropping her jaw for her. She admits that she has a little crush on the man as soon as she saw his face yesterday. It's like they've known each other for a long time and have been in love ever since. After preparing, Mia walked down the stairs. She heard amusement and praises as she walk. The maids loved how she elegantly slides down the stairs. Jake on the other hand froze as soon as he saw the lady in red. He eventually got himself together and looked at his laptop again. Mia approached Jake who is busy encoding in his laptop and sat in front of him. "Is everything alright," Jake coldly said. "Yeah," she answered. Jake then closed his laptop and looked at her. "Now that everything is alright you should go back home. And about the engagement just forget about it," he said and stood up. Mia was shocked when she heard what the man said. She just can't believe that he will make her leave just like that. When she was about to talk she saw that the man in front of her was already walking away. She walked fast and blocked Jake's way. "Wait," she commanded. However, Jake ignored her and continued to walk. She doesn't want to go back. She had come this far and her stepmother will only laugh at her especially her wicked step-sisters. She didn't want them to think she sacrificed herself for nothing. She wants to prove herself to them. Mia then used all of her strength and pulled Jake's arm. However, Jake was still stronger. She was outbalanced and due to unexpected force, Jake fell, pulling Mia with him to the ground. She's on top of him again. Jake smirked as they always end up in the same position every time they see each other. "You really like this position huh? Don't you want to do it in bed this time," he said. Embarrassed, Mia quickly stood up and looked the other way. Jake on the other hand stood and continued to walk again. He was already away when Mia shouted. "I'm not going anywhere!" Jake ignored her and went inside his office.
