chapter 4

Adil couldn't believe what his eyes where seeing, he wondered what a girl like her would be doing in the top floor suites. he knew she was beautiful by looking at her figure earlier but then standing in front of him, even if it was across the hall he saw how gorgeous she was. with her beautiful skin and amazing lips.

Adil realised what kind of compromising situation they where in when he saw her eyes widen after staring at the floor and at his hand then across his men.

" oh shit" she slurred.

While she was in the elevator she didn't expect to come across the handsome guy holding a gun with two dead men on the floor. looking across the hall she realised she must have hit the wrong button.

" yah, no shit habibti" Adil answered. He realised what it looked like with him holding a gun and two men laying unconscious on the floor.

" um, h-hi i was just uh passing through so umh, i'm gonna go now." Mia said then took off like the devil was on her tail, towards the next turn in the hall."

" get her!, i want her alive" Adil commanded his men. not bothering to go after her himself because in his eyes she was just a woman and they could easily catch her.

His men took off after Mia and she could hear there footsteps far behind her. she cursed herself for wearing heals especially YSL heals but she thanked the heavens for making them YSL boots. Mia found the door to the stairs and closed it behind her making sure to drag the ganitor's cleaning cart and move it against the door, making sure to thank the person who left it there in her head.

she didn't want her life to end this way after all she had been through. She hadn't even finished her holiday yet and she would be damned if she went out without a fight. she didn't want to be like the stupid girls in horror movies who practically scream " come kill me!". After making sure it would hold, mia made her way down the flight of stairs, taking them two at a time. she might've been a little light headed but she wasn't stupid. she just hoped she didn't break her leg or her neck. when she was two floors down she started tracking the floors, making sure she didn't miss hers.

when she arrived on her third landing down down, she found a couple making out and almost managed to trip the girl.

" hey watch it" the guy said looking annoyed.

" sorry" Mia said and continued on her way down.

she found her floor and opened the door and quickly shut it behind her. by then she was a sweating mess. she quickly made her way towards her room knowing and hoping her pursuers didn't know where she slept. Mia arrived at her room and quickly grabbed her suitcase and at that moment she had never been more proud of her laziness in unpacking her luggage. she didn't even check to see if she forgot anything because she knew she had to get out of there. she made her way out of the room and hopefully out of Dubai if all went well and in one piece.

Adil couldn't understand why his best men could not catch one stupid little woman and he was very angry. he got his phone and contacted his best IT guy and hacker.

" i want you to go through the airport's database and send me the pictures of all females who have arrived the past week and do it now!" Adil shouted. one could almost hear the person on the other end flinch.

" yes boss, right away boss." the tech guy said and Adil cut the phone call. he couldn't believe what was happening, if they didn't catch her he feared what she and her smart mouth would say to the police and other authorities. she was a catastrophe waiting to happen. he could see it in her eyes. very bad for business. she was a liability and she had to be found no matter who got hurt.

after a few seconds he received a notification on his ipad, which was with his head security guy. the pdf he received showed all women who had checked in and after scrolling down he finally found her under that day's entry. mia solery, even her name was beautiful he thought, it was next to a head shot of her from her passport picture.

after making a few phone calls to make sure she didn't leave Dubai under any circumstances, he got in the elevator with his men after making after making sure they had taken care of the bodies and made there way to the lobby towards the airport.

"what do you mean i've been declined?" Mia raised her voice to the woman behind the desk in charge of tickets.

" listen ma'am, it says here that you are trying to purchase a ticket to America without any money under the pretence that you are a competition winner , i mean, not even i am that stupid so its clear as daylight that you are a fraud and have been put under the no flight list." the lady said not seeming to break a sweat as she rose her perfect winged raven eyebrow and upturned nose towards Mia.

Mia assessed the woman and realised she wasn't joking. she was too sophisticated to have been playing any games with her, with her perfectly ironed uniformed and tight bun. Mia read her name tag and read 'Ayska' in her head, she just hoped she didn't flank the pronunciation.

" listen Aysha"

" its Ayska"

" whatever, listen i need to get on that plane , its a its a matter of national security" Mia pleaded.

" i told you that you cant get on that plane and you expect me to believe that you are a winner of some none existence radio competition? i don't think so, i mean under the circumstances, would you believe yourself?"Ayska asked her.

" yes security escort this lady out, she has been causing such a scene" true to her words everybody was looking at her wondering what was happening between herself and the airport personnel.

" come this way ma'am" the security guy grabbed her arm and started leading her to the less occupied exist. at first this didn't raise any alarm bells in her but when she realised it was completely deserted that's when she really started to panic.

" don't touch me!" at this time it was finally getting to her that she was in real danger and not just make belief, all the adrenaline she had been running on had slowly been sipping out of her and she was just exhausted. she made her way towards the exit and it didn't even cross her mind why the security guy made her use the most excluded exit.

She thought of how stupid she was for believing she could stay in Dubai for a stupid vacation she won. it was just too good to be true but that time she wanted to ignore all the warning bells and simply go with the flow. If only future Mia could slap young Mia in the face and tell her to adress the only big fat cow dancing in the room with cowbells like a huge watch out target. she was embarrassed with herself.

Mia was so lost in mentally slapping herself that she didn't notice when the security guy stopped in front of a very familiar Audi. She gulped and immediately tried to run but this time someone was too fast for her. looking at her, Adil realised she looked exhausted. poor thing, he thought.

" you thought you could run away from me? habibti" Adil said while running a finger down her cheek.

" to be fair, you did cheat" Mia didn't know what possessed her to say that but if it was her last day on earth she might as well say what was on her mind. suddenly growing bald Mia stared at him straight in the eyes which she usually didn't do with people and she backtracked with what she saw. if she thought he was handsome at first than at that moment he was gorgeous really close up. His eyes where the colour of a very cozy stormy day with windswept black hair some of it laying on his forehead.

she had a serious edge to push it back but she was brought back to reality when she realised he was still speaking.

'are you even paying attention? such disrespect, you will be taught a lesson!" Mia flinched and all the fear came rushing back.

" listen sir as far as i know i didn't see anything so what can i say to any one when i didn't see anything?" Mia asked hoping he would buy it and let her go. she wasn't stupid enough to go running around opening her mouth to the most available ear.

" do i look stupid to you?" Adil asked rather calmly and even she knew that it was a little too calm for her own liking.

"no?" she asked, dazed.

"yes sir."

She immediately tried to put up a fight when the guard was leading her towards the Audi, she didn't want to be like a sheep being led to a slaughter house. when the other guard in black opened the back door she maneuvered herself so that she dangled in his hands and step on the edge of the door at the top near the roof. putting all her weight to her legs, she leaned back and pushed with all her might till the guard took a few steps. That was all she needed as she released her arm from his lose hold and elbowed him in the face which connected with his nose.

In no more than a second she was free and ready to take down anyone who stood in the middle of her and freedom. The guy in black tried to hit her but she saw it coming and swerved taking his extended arm and hitting him really hard on the sternum with her heeled boot and finally hitting him behind the head when he crouched, making him fall face down on the concrete and probably causing him to break his nose.

like her self defence teacher always taught her ' the opponent's size or build doesn't matter even though it could come in handy but you have tp be fast and cunning, that's where you have the upper hand then use it.' Even though she was small compared to all the muscles an the men all around her. She knew she atleast take them down in terms of her speed and her personal moves.

Mia was brought back to the present by a very angry security guard with a very bloody nose and a very red face, charging after her. she side stepped him and hit him with her heeled boots on the neck and fell flat on the ground.

" you broke my nose!" the guard in black screamed and tried to lunge for her and he also had a bloody nose.

" enough" Adil screamed like he had just finished watching child's play.

It was clear that she had suprised him. He expected her to put up a fight but not actually hurt his men. It was clear by the looks on their faces that it really hurt.

" i see tha tyou can fight" it was meant to taunt her.

" i do, so back the hell off" she said while she stood in a battle stance and raised her fists.

" you want to fight me?" it was definetely not a question.

" bring it on"

Mia threw the first punch wanting to have an upper hand on Adil and it suprisingly cault his jaw. Adil wiped his jaw and stared at her, Mia wanted to throw a second kick to his pressure point but he caught her leg and threw her on his shoulder.

" hey put me down!" Mia said while pounding on his muscular back.

" do you really think you would fight me?" He asked and slapped her on her butt.

"Hey!"

" sorry sweetie but i don't fight with women" Adil said as he unceremoniously tossed her in the back seat and immediately got in so as to trap her.

" Sexists" Mia mumbled.

Adil just looked at her and ordered his driver who never left his seat the whole time to drive after his bodyguard had entered in the passenger seat.

" what makes you think i wont jump out?"

"childlock"
