SHE ESCAPED!.

CHAPTER FOUR

“It's mine, where did you get it from?", She asked.

Mr. Wilson's cold gaze slowly faded away.

“You don't remember?", Mia nodded her head. “We kind of.. you know… .at the hotel”, Mia stared at him trying to understand what he had to say.

" I'm sorry for forcing myself onto you”, He apologized.

" What?! “,He forced himself on to Eleanor?. So Eleanor have the one nightstand with Mr. Taylor but with the youngest billionaire in New York. With Mr. Martinez??.

“I understand the trauma you are going through, that's why have decided to compensate you", He suddenly pulled out a cheque.

“This is a total of 1 billion dollars.. I know it can't pay for what I did but at least I can compensate", Mia collected the cheque, she stared at it.

It was really one billion dollars, just for a one nightstand?. She swallowed hard, why accept the cheque when she can get more.

“What if I want more ?", She asked. “Sure", He said turning to his bodyguard, “Tear me another cheque", He ordered. “Yes boss", He bowed.

“No not money", She said. Mr. Martinez slowly took his gaze to her. “If not money then what?".

“Make me Mrs. Martinez", She said. Mrs. Wilson gasped at her own daughter words.

Mr. Martinez stared at her. “Is that all”, He asked, she nodded briefly.

He stared at her for a while and slowly left without no response.

Mrs. Wilson rushed to her almost immediately. " Why would you ask that?.. Do you think he would really do that”, She asked.

" I dunno mom, I only tried my luck”, She said." And guys what you aren't lucky”, Ethan chipped in.

" As if you are? “, Mia scoffed at him. " But there's one thing I do not get here”, Everyone suddenly took their attention to Mr. Martinez.

“Did Eleanor have the one nightstand with him instead of Mr. Taylor? “, He asked.

" Of course dad”, " She is really disgusting you know”, Mrs. Wilson rolled her eyes.

" But guess what the good news is? “, Mia said. " What? “, They all asked.

" We got the money to pay off Mr. Taylor! “, She announced showing then the cheque.

“Wow..", Mr Martinez collected the cheque checking it out. “It’s really a billion dollars”, He beamed.

" I'm so proud of you princess, you are a blessing “, He pecked her head. " Thanks Dad”, Mia blushed.

" She sure is”.

Eleanor stirred, she slowly got on her feet, she felt superweak. She stared around, this wasn't her room, it was the basement!.

She rushed toward the door, twisting the hinges, and just as she thought; it was locked.

She sighed, banging the door or shouting won't help it will only make matters worse.

She suddenly remembered, her phone. She searched her pocket, slowly pulling it out.

She stared at the alert of the twenty-five million naira with a plan on her mind.

NEXT MORNING

Mia yawned briefly, walking toward the bathroom, she brushed her teeth, took her bath. After putting on her cloth, she slowly trodded downstairs.

“Good morning dad.. Morning mom", She greeted taking her seat.“Morning sweetheart", They both replied.

"Ting…ting", The bell sounded. "Go get the door”, Mrs. Wilson said to one of the maids who quickly left to carry out the task. She returned shortly.

“Miss Mia's presence has been requested”, She announced.

“Wow, who got the nerve to summon me?", She grabbed an apple from the table walking toward the door, munching on it slowly.

She stared at the man who stood right in front of her, he was clothed in black suit and had an envelope with him.

She could hardly figure out who he was. "Good day ma'am", He bowed.

"Mr. Martinez asked to deliver this to you personally”. A mare mention of his name made her mood brighten up.

She collected the envelope, her eyes widened at the content. She rushed into the room, straight to the dinning.

"Guess what?!", She beamed. “ Mr. Martinez sent a letter," She announced.

Mrs. Wilson immediately got on her feet. "What did it say?", She asked. Mia passed the letter to her. It read;

"Dear Mia Wilson, after much consideration I have decided to accept your prize for atonement, I accept your condition. Our engagement would be held in a week time and I hope you'd de accept this conditions. If you do, the driver will bring you home where you would start living henceforth as my fiance”.

Mrs. Wilson took her gaze to her child. Mr Wilson got on his feet likewise Ethan. “Yes!" they all yelled out.

" I'm so excited mom" , Mia beamed. "You should be dear’, Her father chipped you.

“My daughter isn't only blessed with beauty but brain as well”, Mrs. Willson praised.

"Yea sis, mom's right" , Mia flashed him a smile.

" You made the right move of replacing Eleanor, I'm sure she would have ruined everything for us”, Mrs. Wilson chipped in.

"Speaking of her, we haven't checked up on her”, Mr. Wilson said.

"Is that really necessary", Ethan rolled his eyes. ‘Of course, how else do we get the property”, Mr. Wilson raised his brows.

"Right" , Mrs. Wilson smilled. "Go check’, He said to Ethan.

"Why me?!", He winced. “ Now!", He seethed and immediately Ethan left.

“So we should start arranging your box dear”, Mr. Wilson smiled.

"I do not think there's a need for that, your unique and blessed daughter already secured a place in the Martinez mansion, of course, new branded dresses would be delivered to me”, She flipped her hair.

"Right. Then my daughter would be Mrs. Martinez, the wife to the youngest billionaire in town”, Mrs. Wilson clapped her hands.

"Mom!..Dad!, Come check on something!", Ethan suddenly yelled from upstairs. They all dashed upstairs immediately.

“What's it ?!", Mr. Wilson asked concerned. "I…She…..”, He slowly pointed forward.

They all slowly took their gaze there, their eyes widening.

"What?!", Mia frowned. Mrs. Wilson stormed into the room angrily, she walked toward the window briskly.

She angrily pulled the piece of clothing that laid on the window. It was several curtains tied together.

“She escaped!!”, She yelled. "Shit!. How do I get the property now!", Mr. Wilson banged his hand against the wall.

“Calm down dad", Ethan held him back. " Mom…Dad", Mia suddenly called.

“Do we really need her property?", She asked.She asked.

" Is that meant to be a question", Mr. Wilson glared at her. It was the first time he ever did that she swallowed hard.

“I mean... I'm betrothed to the son of the Martinez now, they can fetch us anything we want at any period of time", She said.

"And besides it is in our favour that she flee, she might just walk up to him and tell the whole truth thereby ruining our plan".

" Our main motive is to never let her come back
