Let's see how Mia is doing lately with everything that's happening at court.
Chapter 3:
(Mia P.O.V)
Flipping through the documents on my desk, I came upon one labeled: Mason Ashford. Sighing, I opened it and saw his whole life story spread out before me. Where he was born and what day. Who both of his parents are.
All the academies he attended and the teachers he had. The people he hung out with. Who he spent more time with. Rose and Eddie. His class schedules for middle and high school. Who his mentor was. Where and when he use to train.
This document has everything related to Mason in it. Even how he...he died. Why did he have to be the one to die? Why couldn't it have been Rose or Christian? Why is it everyone I love either dies or hates me?
First, it's Andre Dragomir, Lissa's older brother who died in a car accident years ago. Then it's Aaron Drozdov who is still alive, but hates me because of his ex-friend Lissa. I had to sleep with Jesse Zeklos and Ralf Sarkozy to get them to spread rumors about Lissa's best friend Rose.
Adrian Ivashkov doesn't even know I exist and Mason is dead. Both of them are friends with Lissa. Wait, a minute! All the guys I love or use to love knows Lissa in some way. Maybe, instead of trying to get rid of Rose, I need to get rid of Lissa.
But, that's going to be a challenge since she's the queen and has a bunch of guardians guarding her all the time. Lissa doesn't have any of her guards around when her friends are with her because she trusts her friends very much.
I wonder what will happen if I disguise as someone who is alone with her all the time? Someone who's parents willingly turned Strigoi and their son might be next. Someone who I never liked then or now.
The problem is how am I going to get a charm that when I wear it I look like the person Lissa and her friends trust dearly. I can't ask Sonya Tanner to do for me because she might catch onto my plan.
Lissa is totally out of the question. Maybe, my old friend Robert Doru can help me. Laughing to myself, I closed Mason's document. Standing up, I walked over to the closet where I keep filing cabinets that hold more documents of people's whole life story.
Rose, Mason and Eddie aren't the only people who's life I know about. The question is...am I willing to go to the extreme to kill the queen of the Moroi world and frame it on her husband?
Oh, yes I am! But, what happens after Lissa is killed and Christian is in jail? What am I going to do then? Taping my chin with my finger, I thought about this for a minute. I could find a way to bring back my mother and maybe even Mason!
But, how am I going to do that? Man, all my plans have their boundaries! I'm determined to do what it takes to finally have my happy ever after with the one I love even if I have to kill a few people along the way.
Someone else who doesn't have their happy ever after is poor Rosemarie Belikova who is pregnant with her and Dimitri's third child. When I said I know her whole life story, I mean her whole life story.
From when she was born to now. Every single detail. I knew her father way before she did. I even knew where her Russian God was living at before she did. I knew everything and still know everything.
I'm using this all to my own advantage. I'm planning on kidnapping Christian. Keep him here and pretend to be him. Causing trouble at court and all that horrible stuff that will make Lissa question him.
Before anyone knows it, poor Queen Vasilisa is no more. I think it will a whole lot easier if I just pretend to be Lissa instead of Christian. Yeah, I think I'm going to go with that plan since Rose and Lissa aren't bonded anymore.
Plus, I always wanted to be queen even if I'm not really the queen just pretending to be one. I don't recall Christian and Lissa having any children at all meaning there are still only two surviving Dragomirs in the family.
Once Lissa is gone, what happens to Jill? That's a good question. She becomes the last living Dragomir. Like I said back then: I'm bound to take down the entire Dragomir line!
But, in order to do that I have to get something of Lissa's. I could compel one of my guardian friends to-
"Mia, sweetheart! Some people are here to see you!" my father's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Coming!" I called, closing the closet door.
I wonder who the people are and what the want to talk to me about. Turning off the lamp on my desk, I grabbed the key to the room and shoved it in my pants pocket. Opening the door a crack, I saw my father standing there waiting for me.
"Aw, Mia," he said, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. "I was starting to get worried that you didn't hear me."
I called loudly that I was coming. "I heard you, father."
Smiling, I closed the room door and followed him down the hall. There were at least four guardians standing in the living room. I tried to figure out what was going on, but with their backs turned to my father and me it didn't help one bit.
Hearing us walk in they stopped talking among each other and faced us. I recognized the guardians as the ones who work down in the holding cells. Now I'm really confused in why they're here at my apartment.
Does it have something to do with Robert? If it is, why does he want to see me? Or is this about the oncoming trial? There are a lot of questions in why the guardians are here.
(Christian P.O.V)
Eddie: I need to talk to you now!
Christian: I have to attend the stupid meeting with Lissa right now. Can't it wait?
Eddie: No!
Sighing, I was about to open the door to go see what Eddie wants when Lissa came in walking in.
"Christian, where are you going?" she asked. "We have a meeting to attend right now."
Turning to face her, I answered, "I...I have to go meet Eddie right now."
She looks as beautiful as ever in her royal dresses, but this one is my favorite. A dark green, medieval dress that fits her perfectly.
"Can't it wait? The meeting is about to start."
"I...I-" cutting myself off, I forced a smile on my face. "Yeah, it can wait. Are you ready?"
"Let me just grab something real quick."
Once she was out of the room, my forced smile dropped. Pulling my phone back out of my pocket, I texted Eddie telling him I couldn't come meet him.
Eddie: It's really important though! I got a few guys who went to you know who's apartment to pull her and her father out so we go in and look around!
Christian: How did you pull that off?
Eddie: I'll tell you later it's kind of a long story, but I thought we were doing this together?
Christian: Didn't Rose say Dimitri knows about Mia working with Robert and all that? Ask him to help.
Eddie: Yeah, sure.
There was a lot of power in just those two words. I felt horrible about not being able to help my friend because I have to go to some stupid meeting where my opinion doesn't even matter.
"Liss, why don't you go to the meeting and I'll see you there?" I suggested, hoping she will say yes.
"Why can't we go together?" she asked, looking confused.
I sighed. "I do want to go together, but why I do I have to go when my opinion doesn't even matter?"
"Of course your opinion matters, Christian. It matters to me and-"
"And only you. You're the queen and everyone wants the queen's opinion, not her husband whose parents-" I cut myself off before I went in too deep. "Liss, I just really don't want to go."
Placing her hand on my cheek, my beautiful wife smiled at me. "Your opinion does matter, Christian."
"So..." I began slowly. "I have to attend the meeting?"
"No, not if you don't want to. But, you have to promise that you'll make it up to me later tonight."
"Oh, I promise," I said, kissing her sweet lips. "There's more where that came from. Will you promise me that you'll text me, so I know you got there safely?"
"I promise, Christian," Lissa smiled. "Now I have to go now or else I might be late."
I walked hand in hand with Lissa until we had to part ways. I'm kind of glad she understood that I didn't want to attend the meeting. She always understood me when no one didn't.
Christian: Are you at Rose's apartment?
Eddie: Yeah. Why? Can you come?
Christian: Yep. I'll be there in a few.
Heading down the hallway toward the guardian apartments, I thought about what Eddie had in mind. I know part of his plan is to get the key from Mia's apartment, but how are we going to get in without her or her father finding us.
Who are the guys Eddie hired or whatever to keep Mia and her father away from their apartment so we can sneak in? My questions were answered when I saw Eddie heading toward me.
"Hey, man," he greeted. "I'm guessing Lissa didn't make you attend the stupid meeting after all?"
"No, thank God," I said, feeling relief that she didn't make me go. "I promised that I'll make it up to her later."
"By later you mean tonight?"
"Yeah...why?"
Eddie sighed. "Because I told Dimitri that you couldn't come with me and that I didn't want to go by myself. So, it might be the three of us going."
Dimitri, Eddie and me going on a secret mission to Mia's apartment to look for a key that unlocks a creepy room. This is going to be something. Let's just say I'm not that positive when it comes to...basically everything.
Coming to Rose's apartment, Eddie unlocks the door. "Just letting you know that Dimitri and Rose are in their room talking right now."
"About what?" I asked, shutting the door behind me.
"Rose thinks her being here is making things lot harder on everyone with the baby being almost due and all."
That makes since. I mean none of us want to see Rose get hurt or anything. Nodding my head, I followed him to the couch. There was absolute silence that I started to wonder where Rosalie and Tyler were?
"Eddie, where's Rosalie and Tyler at?" I asked, looking over at him.
"Sonya has them," he answered without meeting my gaze. "Did you tell Lissa about any of this?"
"Nope. Have you told Jill yet?"
Eddie shook his head back and forth. "I want to keep Jill safe by leaving her out of all this."
"I know what you mean. Where is Jill by the way?"
"She's helping Sonya with the kids."
I've always been good at small talk, expect with Lissa. When we're together we have long conversations that can last all day if either of us had the free time to do so. I sometimes think of Eddie as a brother I never had.
He's been through just as much as the rest of us have. We're all trying to get through life together as a family.
What do you think of Mia & her evil plan?
Good? Bad?
Please, let me know!
Thanks(:
