"I'll go," Mia spoke. She had been living rough in this mansion. How hard could it be to live in another mansion full of danger? Besides, she knew this would save her father's life. She doesn't want to be selfish like her step-sisters. She wanted to show how she love her father. Even if it will cost her life.

She had been living rough in this mansion. How hard could it be to live in another mansion full of danger? Besides, she knew this would save her father's life. She doesn't want to be selfish like her step-sisters. She wanted to show how she love her father. Even if it will cost her life.
...
"Sweety," her father spoke. He was standing beside Mia's door watching her pack her clothes.
Mia looked at his father and smiled. "Dad," she said. Her father went near her and sat on the couch beside her bed. "I'm sorry," he said. "I know you shouldn't be in this situation. I promised your mother to protect you but," he paused.
Mia stopped packing and sat beside her father. "Dad, did you love mom?" she suddenly asked. Before she leaves, at least she knows if his father ever loved her mother. It's important to her.
"She's the sweetest. I loved everything about her," her father answered while looking back at the times when he was still with her mother.
Mia smiled and went back to packing her clothes. "I love you, dad. I hope I can still return to you," she sadly said.
Hearing that sad voice her father stood up, kissed her forehead, and embraced her. "I love you too sweety. Please come back anytime," he said after they parted. "Lina is coming with you. I don't want you to have a hard time at the new mansion," he said about the personal maid assigned to Mia.
Lina has been with her since she came to the de la Costa mansion. They have the same age that made them close to each other. She has been a personal maid and a best friend for her. "Thank you, dad," she replied.
...
Mia is done packing so she sat at her vanity table and looked at her reflection. Her long black hair was tied up while some are down covering her long eyelashes. She looked for the lip gloss that maintained her pinkish lips and applied it on. She then heard a knock from her bedroom door.
"Miss, have you packed everything already?" Lina asked.
"Yes, thank you for coming with me," she said as she looked at Lina.
"Wherever you go, I'll go. I'm your maid you know you can't leave without me," she jokingly said that made the both of them giggle.
Lina then carried Mia's luggage and put it in the van. The family driver will accompany them to Jake's mansion.
As they travel Mia noticed that the path has no sign of houses. It's like they have left the city. Where is Jake's mansion?
"Lina, are we out of town?" she asked.
"You didn't know miss? Your spouse lives in the mountain. Rumors say he prefers living there because he can easily kill and bury the people he wanted to kill in that place. They say that his mansion is murky and terrible. Ahhhh thinking about it makes me scared. What will happen to us now?" the maid continuously explained. These are just rumors but what if they are all true?
Mia kept quiet and continued her nap.
They were in the middle of the forest when the driver stopped. Mia opened the window and looked out. There they saw a bunch of men in a leather black jacket with their shades on, riding in their motorcycles. They are parked in line blocking their way.
'Ahhh, good old times,' she smirked as she was reminded of how she led her gang a long time ago.
The frontman removed his shades revealing his gorgeous face. He was standing out from the men at the back. He went down from his motorcycle and was about to go near the van when a ton of bullets ambushed them. The men quickly hid behind their motorcycles and held their guns, prepared to shoot their enemies.
"Miss! get out from the van, hide behind the trees it's not safe for you two here. We are in the middle of a war. Quick!" their driver exclaimed.
Lina promptly grabbed Mia's arm and lead her to a big tree where no one could notice. They both hid there and watched the two parties exchange bullets without stopping.
It has been a long time but both sides are still not showing signs to surrender. Mia and Lina are still hiding behind the tree waiting for the fight to stop.
Suddenly, a man on a red big motorbike appeared out of nowhere. He passed the tree where the two ladies are hiding. His and Mia's eyes met. Is he the demon king? She asked herself. The man was wearing a mask so she can't see his face. She continued to watch the man as he gets down from his bike. And pulls his gun from his pocket. His actions are very sharp and brisk. It's like she's watching a live-action film with the main lead on fire.
This man was quick and shot all their foes where in no time they were all down. "Woooah!" She heard the men scream with joy. They won the fight!
After their victory yell, they hurriedly drove their motorcycles leaving the two ladies still hiding in the big tree.
When they think no one is around already except the dead bodies lying on the ground they went out. There they saw their driver still in the van but has a shot on the forehead. Lina hid behind her back because of fright. Blood is all around the place but she didn't cringe. She had seen more than this when she was still fighting.
"What should we do now miss? Should we go back and tell your father about what happened?" Lina asked.
Mia knew her stepmother and step-sisters will make fun of what happened to them. And she's determined to make the man who left them in the middle of the forest pay for what he did. She is unwilling to go back. "We'll follow them," she seriously stated.
"What?! But miss it's dangerous. You saw how they brutally killed these men. What if they do that to us too," her maid protested.
She looked at her scared maid and looked in the direction where the men went. "You can go back if you're scared. I'm getting my revenge," she said and started walking towards the motorcycles' trails.
"No, I'm coming with you miss. Wait for me," Lina said and followed Mia.
