Chapter 10: "Ms.Rudi and Ms.One.",

Mia entered the Mansion.

Old Wen took her towards the entrance as she saw a middle-aged couple standing at the door as if they are waiting for them.

"Old Master you are back.", The man bowed.

Old Wen nodded and turned towards Mia who was standing a step back.

"Mia this is Bulter and my assistant Mathis and his wife Elena.", He spoke as he introduced them to her.

"Mathis, Elena she will be the Young Mistress of the house from now on.", Old Wen spoke as a smile appeared in the couple.

"Uncle Matis, Aunt Elena.", She greeted.

"Greetings Young Mistress.", Both replied in joy.

"Did that brat call again...?", Old Wen questioned.

Mathis shook his head in disagreement. Old Wen knew nothing sort of happened.

He held on to his emotions and turned towards Mia.

"Let's get in child.", Soon everyone walked in as the servants in the mansion seemed pretty satisfied with their new mistress.

Mia felt awkward at she felt like she's an animal in the zoo. She awkwardly smiled and followed Old Wen.

"Young Mistress don't feel that they are weird it's just you look so stunning that we people can't help but take another look at you.", Elena spoke as Mia blushed.

Elena saw her as she felt this new young madam is quite cute and innocent.

"Mia feel free to be here. This will also be your house from now on.", Old Wen spoke.

"Thank you, Grandpa Wen.", She smiled and politely replied. Just then a girl entered the room.

"One more thing, Alex will come and pick you up tomorrow. This is Leni. She is daughter of Elena and Mathis. She lives with her husband and child near Alex's villa. She and her husband will take care of house for you.", Old Wen spoke.

"Thank you in advance,Sister Leni.", Mia warmly greeted.

"I will try my best too, Young Mistress.", Leni smiled back.

"Take her to Young Master's room. Mia go and take some rest.", Old Wen spoke as he entered his room.

"Young Mistress let's go.", Leni spoke as Mathis and Elena went back to their work.

They went upstairs in the internal elevator when the elevator reached 3 rd floor.

"This way.", Leni showed the way.

"Can I stay in the guest room...?", Mia thought it was all too sudden she felt it was disrespectful to enter another person's room.

"You'll be married tomorrow. I have already arranged everything for you in the villa. Missy don't be shy, it will be your room soon.", Leni spoke.

"Have rest Missy.", Leni saying that walked away.

Mia gave in and entered the room. The room had a European style that had a cold and distant feel which was similar to Alex she heard of.

She saw that his bedding was in grey which look like it was not touched for a while. She stared at the bedside racks that had books inside them. She was usually a book freak so she couldn't help but walk and see what kind of books that rack has.

She saw various business, Astrological, sci-fi, and many more genre books. her attention then shifted towards the balcony that contained a telescope at a corner. She opened the large window and let the wind hit her. She stared at the starry sky and pulled the telescope into the middle.

"Wahh...", She couldn't help but gasp in shock this model was the same her brother has. James presented them for Lucas's 24th birthday. It was known that this model was very hard to get and it took a whole year for James.

Mia wondered if Alex went through all that struggle too. She fixed the Telescope as Lucas thought of her as she stared at the starry night.

She fixed the angle as she did some calculations and found two stars that shined together.

"Grandma, Big Ma...I finally see you again.", She smiled.

Lucas and James along with Old Chen decided to name the stars when the two important women left their lives. Lucas thought her the angle and the way so she could also find them as he did.

"It's been nearly a year. Ann is back. I survived death 2 times and Brother sent me to Wen's...did you two appear in his dream or what...? Did you both say him to help me...? Grandma, Big Ma how I wish I knew you both at least...!", She warmly smiled as she held back her tears.

Before her thoughts could further drift apart her iPhone ringtone made her come back to the present.

"How is it there...? Are you fine...? Should I come...?", Ann's anxious voice was heard.

"Babe I'm fine. You take care of my brother, he must be very sad after all that happened today.", Mia replied.

"What are you...? His brain...? He's indeed sad. He's in the balcony. Wait I'll put on the speaker mode.", Anna smiled and entered the balcony. Lucas turned to see her but she signaled him that Mia is on the line.

"Mia now that everything is done. I seem to have a question. Don't you have any objection to your brother's decision...? He thinks you don't love him.", Anna spoke as she smiled at Lucas who looked pale.

"What made him think like that...?", Mia's voice came from the phone.

"Pass him the phone.", Mia spoke again as she couldn't bear the silence.

Anna passed him the phone and walked in to leave the space for Brother and sister.

"Brother are you there...?", Her voice was sweat and melody to him like always.

"Hmm.", He calmly replied.

"Do you know what am I doing right now...?", She questioned out of blue.

"Huh..?", He was startled by her question.

"I just greeted Grandma and Big Ma.", She spoke as her lips raised upwards.

"Brother I will love you and protect you until the last breath. Likewise, I trust you and never question your decision. You were my knight, my army, and my ultimate support. In this world, anything might change but not our relationship.", She spoke with all seriousness.

"Mia...I will always protect you.", He calmly spoke controlling the original words he wanted to say.

'I will always protect you and make sure you are fine...I promised mother back then that I would treat you like a little princess and give you all the happiness in the world. I will be your shield while you face the danger...I will never let mother or grandmother's little treasure feel any more grievance.', Were the words he wanted to speak.

"Brother are you there...?", Her words brought him to reality.

"Hmm.", He nodded again.

"Alright good night. Love you. And one more thing Thank you.", She spoke.

"Hmm. Take care and be careful.", He hung up the phone.

Mia smiled in satisfaction and entered the room to check out some history books.

Meanwhile.

Wen group.

"Tomorrow go to the bureau with your young Madam and let her sign the marriage certificate. I've already done signing this afternoon and made necessary preparations.", Alex spoke casually.

Rio was dumb folded. 'Was his boss getting married or making an agreement...?', he was confused.

"But sir...marriage is a happy occasion...and how could I be the one to take Madam to...", Before Rio could complete his sentence Alex gave him a death stare.

"Alright Boss.", Rio quickly spoke as he exited the office.

Alex typed some codes and found a number soon he went into deeper thought as he typed a long text for the first time in his life...but after a second he deleted everything and closed the laptop as he went back to sign his files.

His handsome face had no expression at the moment as he seemed like a heavenly gorgeous robot.

Rio sighed and walked out. He felt his days are going to be more buy now...but he was excited to see this new Madam of his.

Meanwhile.

Anna pressed the remote as the news appeared on T.V.

"One has done magic again. The song composed and sung by her has topped the charts. This is the 10th single of her's yet she gloriously stood on the Top platform. This mysterious singer has gained millions of followers in these 5years...she gloriously stood on TOP as she made people envy and respect her. What makes her more special is her PR team and her Manager Rudi. Who doesn't in the industry dream to have a team like hers and a Manager like Rudi? Anyway, Maybe "ONE" will consider revealing herself this year... a lot of fans are dying to see how she looks because of her amazing vocals.", The News reporter spoke.

Anna's lips raised in a curve as she clicked the off button. Her phone started to ring. She answered her phone as a woman's voice resounded.

"Manager you finally answered your phone...you are so heartless you are back yet you choose not to come to the studio.", The woman from the other side spoke.

"What happened anything important...?", Anna calmly spoke.

"Manager now that "ONE" topped the charts with her new single again there are calls from different magazines.", The woman spoke.

"Julia "One" never accepts interview and also keep everything under pause for a while. "ONE" is busy with other things these days. We'll resume once everything is fine in a few weeks.", Anna replied.

"Manager then you are not going back anymore...You'll be staying here right...?", Julia eagerly spoke.

"Yup...the reason I had to go to abroad is to broaden my connections and learn how to be a good manager. Now that I have a Top Singer like "ONE" do I need to go back...?", Anna questioned.

"Nope...so happy that we can finally see each other every day and I don't need to travel back and forth anymore.", Julia felt relieved.

"Happy you. Concentrate on the work I've allotted. Make sure to complete those documents.", Anna hung up the phone.

Lucas walked in and sat beside her...seeing her smiling.

"What so happy news that your face is shining like that...?", Lucas questioned as he pulled her into his arms.

" 'One' topped the charts again with her new single.", Anna replied as she leaned on his shoulder.

"With an amazing voice like her's and a capable manager like you...that is a given thing.", He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Lucas...It's been 5 years since I become her manager, but it's been our dream since we were 10 years old. To become a pillar for her I had to leave to abroad and she struggled this 5years alone.", Anna spoke.

"Ann without you there is no 'One' today and without her, there is no 'Rudi'. You complete each other.", He spoke as he kissed her forehead.

"Let's inform this news to Mia.", She dialed a number.

The call was answered.

"What you miss me the moment you've hung up the phone. Please darling my brother will be jealous of me too.", Mia's voice came through.

Lucas smiled at her comment as Anna felt helpless.

"Let him feel jealous anyway you are always my first love and my most precious darling.", Anna scoffed as Lucas shook his head helplessly with a smile.

"Okay, you win. What's the matter Ann...?", Mia questioned as she sat on the bed.

"You topped the charts again.", Anna spoke as she entered Lucas's arms.

"Oh oh Manager Rudi...your efforts are appreciated.", Mia's sarcastic voice was heard.

"Ms.One I also appreciate your vocals and Songwriting skills.", Ann sarcastically spoke.

"Okay is my brother beside you...?", Mia questioned.

"Yup. The phone is on speaker.", Anna replied.

"Brother your wife left you for 5 years to become a stronger manager now that she's back I'll return her to you...please help me so that she will not bug me for another song...I already have so many documents to deal with for my Medical college.", Mia begged.

"You traitor...I will deal with you tomorrow. Alright, I've already paused your activities for a while. Tomorrow afternoon let's go and register in the university.", Ann spoke as Lucas chuckled.

"Thank you Ms.Rudi for being such a kind manager...anyway if the Media and communication department of Imperial University knows that the top Manager Rudi is joining as their student they might faint from shock.", Mia giggled.

"Imperial University Medical department is already thrilled to meet a National topper like you. Alright, let's see each other in the afternoon. Take care.", Anna spoke.

"You too.", The call ended as Anna hugged Lucas tighter and Mia fell back onto the bed.

Mia smelled the fragrance. Although it has the fabric scent...the fragrance smell he felt from the bedding was different, it was the fragrance she felt before. Mia closed her eyes as memory stuck out.

'Hey...hey don't shiver, let me take you out. It's all over stop shivering. You are safe now.', The man's voice was like a soothing melody that brought peacefulness to her lost self. He carried her in his arms as she inhaled the unique fragrance that only belonged to him.

Mia opened her eyes and felt shy. Tomorrow will be the day they will meet again. She felt nervous and happy at the thought of their encounter.

'Will he remember me...?', She felt excited and shy as his handsome face entered her thoughts.

She pulled the quilt as she entered the dreamworld knowing this is the last time she'll be sleeping alone on the bed. From tomorrow someone would be there beside her. Her face reddened as she couldn't help but feel her own heartbeat.
