SOPHIAOkay I will do anything that you want Candice but is doing this really Right? Aren't we just ruining someone's marriage by doing this?" She asked me. I frowned at Cindy when she said this. How dare she tell me that I'm trying to steal Aiden away from Fiona? I didn't steal him and there is nothing that can change that fact. The both of us we are together before I messed up and he left me I am going to do all that I can to make sure that he comes back to me"What do you mean by that? I did not tell him he is mine originally I am the one who messed up and made him broke up with me now I want him back and you are telling me that he is someone else's husband now and I can't have him? I won't stand for this is going to be mine matter what happens" I said. I didn't go through much to come back just to have the man that I want stolen away from me. Maybe if I had been a little bit more responsible back then or I had not acted like a spoilt wish wish you would not have left me. But I
CHAPTER 40AUTHOROf course she has a college degree. Besides, it's not your company. She has to work in. It's Aiden's company. Get her in for me " Candice said. "You don't want her to work in my company then where else can I get her a job? Do you really think that I am going to make one of my business partners give one of your irresponsible friends a job?" Pascal asked angrily. Although he did not want to, he can give Candice's friend a job in his company. This will mean that if anything happens with her, he can bear the consequences himself because it's his company. If it's not his company though, he can't bear the consequences if Candice friend messes things up there. His reputation will have to take a hit because he's the one who talked a business partner into giving her a job. "Dad! Hoe can you call my friend irresponsible.? And are you also implying that I am irresponsible? I know that you don't like me but I am your daughter. How can you say such hurtful words to me?" Candi
CHAPTER 41AIDENI was in my officer thinking about the discussion that I had with my father the last time I was there. I didn't think that he will catch on to what I am trying to do so easily but he is a smart man and I already know that it won't be easy to fool him. The talk that we had kept coming back to my mind. .....FLASHBACK"Aiden, why do I hear that you are trying to get involved in the mafia again?" My dad asked me. "I don't.....I don't know what you are talking about dad" I said. I immediately denied it. He will never approve of what I am trying to do so I didn't dare to tell him just yet. I was only planning on telling him when I was sure that I am going to be the mafia leader but...."I don't know who or what makes you feel as if you're good at lying but the truth son is that you are very horrible at lying. You can't lie to me at all. You can just come at me with the truth. What do you think you are doing? You can just tell me the truth" Dad said. I sighed. I know
AIDEN POV"Don't worry dad. I won't let anything happen to Fiona or you guys. It will be fine!" I said. My father father shook his head. I can see that he does not agree with this yet. But he decided to let me be and let him do whatever whatever it is that I want because he won't able to change my mind and so I guess it's for the best of everyone. "I just hope that for the sake of everyone that you and for your own safety you know exactly what that you are my son and I don't want any hurt to come to you. When I decided to leave that life, it wasn't because I am a coward. It was far from that. I was just meant to give my wife and child better life since you decided that it is what you want to do, I just hope to God that you know what you are doing and that you don't put Fiona in harm's way because of your selfish motives. She's your wife and she's the one who will have to take the blame if anything happens!" My dad told me.I didn't tell him that she won't be my wife for much longer
CHAPTER 43AIDENDon't worry Fiona. You can leave. I will take it from here. I will deal with your brother myself " I said. Fiona passed a look between me and Houston. It was clear that she did not want to leave the both of us alone. She could sense the tension in the air between us. Anyone can sense the tension in the air between us. I gave her a reassuring look that told her that I have this under my control and that she doesn't have anything to be worried about. She took a deep breath and decided to step back. "Fine. You can talk. But please don't throw punches boys. Or make sure that I don't hear it" Fiona said and walked away. Houston turned to me after she was gone. I pointed at the sofa in my office. "Sit. Let's talk" I said Houston sneered at me. I could feel the rage coming from him. All of this because I am with his ADOPTED sister? I really prayed that my suspicions aren't true at all and that I am just the one overthinking. I really don't know how I will deal with
AIDEN POV"Well, we did have sex when we first met" "What?! You slept with my sister? On the night that you first met her?! My goodness Aiden she's my sister! You said that I am your best friend and that I am like your brother! Since you are like a brother to me my sister should feel like a sister to you! Did you feel okay having sex with her?. How did you even get attracted to her when you first met her?" Houston asked me. It was clear that he was very mad. "Oh please calm down Houston. You know treating your sister as my own sister is just bullshit. It doesn't make any sense at all. I've never met her before and I don't know her. How am I supposed to see her as my sister? Look, dude, I know that it's hard for you to accept this but we are really in love" I said. "I can't.... I just can't believe this. I can't believe that I've treated you as a friend! She is my sister!" Houston said. The suspicions that I had earlier crawled into my mind again. If Houston really has those kind
CHAPTER 45AIDENAnd I was the one who came here to question you. How come you are doing the questioning?" He is guilty. I can see that. And I was starting to get worried. For my self and for him. What am I going to do if he's really in love with his sister? It doesn't matter if I am going to stay married to Fiona or not but I just won't let her be forced to get married to Houston since she doesn't want to. I will do whatever I can to stop it. And Houston....I don't even know what to think about him. How can he develop feelings for his sister? It just doesn't make sense at all. "She is my wife now Aiden. If you are really in love with herself, although you are her brother, it's going to make things complicated between us. I really don't want to have a fallout with you Houston " I said. He gave me a sharp glare but I know that it's just because he doesn't know what to say anymore. "You know that I am the one who's mad at you Aiden. I am the one who's very mad at you right now. Sh
CHAPTER 46AUTHOR "Seriously, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with then. I already told them to leave me alone and that I can deal with my life alone! " Fiona said. She had an angry-looking office she already told her family that they should let her make her own decisions but they just don't know how to listen to herAiden look at Fiona. he tried so guess if she knew about the feelings that are so called brother had for her but he could not see anything in her face apart from pure annoyance. Well, it makes sense that she will not know that the adopted brother that she has always looked up to has those kinds of feelings for her. "Fiona let me ask you a question. Has your brother ever acted weird around you? Has he ever shown you any hints that he might not want you to get married to anyone else except him?" Aiden asked if I knew that it was stupid and dangerous of me to ask her a question but only wanted to know the answers he doesn't think that he will be able to sleep well if h

Author povStanding outside the bar, to a corner with lights but devoid of people, Fiona had her eyes closed as she breathed slowly. She felt tired and dizzy and was incredibly craving for alcohol which she couldn't drink. She had to hold on for a few more months.She placed her hand on her stomach, smiling slowly. "Soon." She told herself."Well, well, well." An irritating gruff voice erupted behind her and her eyes snapped open.She turned to the direction to see up to twenty men. They were all holding guns and pointing it at her.Fiona sighed. She thought that all her problems was over but of course she was wrong."What?" She asked angrily."What an attitude." One of them chuckled and she felt someone grab her from behind.She screamed, kicked straight in the groin and turned to look at him as he fell to the ground."Moron!

Immediately after the marriage, Fiona and her friends decided that they wanted to go hang out at a bar. Fiona's father wanted to stop them but he thought that thet knew what they were doing and that he should not get involved. He also told himself that he should stop trying to get involved in his daughter's life and stop trying to tell her what to do and what not to do. It just didn't sound okay for him to do that to her..He and his wife went back home after the wedding. Fiona's mother could not hike back her tears. She immediately started crying when they got home. "Why are you crying? Aren't you the one who always said tgat I was being too hard on her and Aiden?" He asked his wife. "Of course you were being too hard on them before this! It's just.....my daughter is finally married and I can't help but feel sad about it. I feel as if it was only a day ago when I held her
AUTHORDo you really think so little of me Fiona?" Aiden asked Fiona. He knows that she was saying all of this because of the pregnancy hormones and that she doesn't really mean it but he was hurt that she'd ever consider that he'd leave because she lost her shape after giving birth to her child. "I don't think that way of you at all. I know that you love me but people change right? What if I go out of shape and you decide that I am no longer what you want?! I think that I am going to lose my mind for real if you leave me....I can't handle that for the life of me" she told AidenAiden took her hand in his "I am just going to tell you this once Fiona so listen. You're pregnant with my child. You're putting your life on the hold to have my child. I am never going to leave you just because you lost your shape after having my child.

FIONA'S POV"You know that I am not doing anything and that they are actually right. I don't want that at all. I want to do something to earn my keep. I know that I am pregnant but that doesn't mean that I am handicapped. I can still do something " I said. I don't like the way Aiden keeps treating me like I can't do anything for myself. I think that I am going to lose my mind if he keeps treating me like this for the duration of my pregnancy. I'd definitely lose my mind if this continues itself. "Who said that you're not doing anything by being here with me? Seeing your face everyday motivates me to work harder. And once I am motivated to work harder, it means that I can earn a lot of money for the company and those people talking will get paid on time. So you see, you being here is actually helping everyone. Do you see how much you're helping me out now?" Aiden asked me. I could not help but burst into laugher when I heard this. "You're impossible Aiden! I can't believe that you
AIDEN'S POVI entered my office after I was done with the meeting. I sighed. All of the people who are working for me are really stressing me out. They are supposed to do thier jobs but there's nothing that anyone of them can do right. They keep making mistakes on top of mistakes. They are all starting to get on my nerves. .I took off my tie as soon as I entered my office and lossened the first buttons of my shirt. I saw Fiona sleeping on the couch. I frowned. Isn't she uncomfortable?!I have told her many times that she doesn't need to come here for me and that she can just go back home and rest once the pregnancy gets too much for her and she wants to sleep. Why doesn't she ever listen at all ? "What are you doing here Fiona?" I asked as I tried to position her on the bed without waking her up as quietly as I could.I took a blanket and tried to cover her with it but she woke up anyway. "What are you doing here Fiona? Didn't I tell you that you can go back and sleep whenever y
Author's POVFew weeks later. Fiona groaned loudly as she entered into the fitting room for yet another time. This was the fifth....sixth? Honestly she's lost count of how many it was. Her mom and Eric's wife Esther were there with her. She went out to show her critiques who sat regally on the chair sipping lemonade. She eyed them dubiously and mouth "really??" With an arched eyebrow. They were only sitting there, enjoying a glass of lemonade and scrolling through the magazine while Fiona was made to endure the prickling and prodding of the stylist. "What do you think??" She asked without much enthusiasm. She felt beautiful but she wanted to hear from them. She gasped, stood up and walked towards her with beaming smiles on their faces."Oh my! You look adoring." Esther squealed into her hand and giggled excitedly. Fiona rolled my eyes as her mum and Esther passed a secret look at themselves. It was secretive if they were passing those looks in front of her. She almost facepalm
Author's POV"I suggest you avoid doing anything that could bring back those painful memories." He said to him quietly.Aidan nodded diligently, his eyes filled with a brimming happiness that seemed highly contagious. "She has been greatly traumatized and her brain is still having problem accepting the reality. Care and rest is all she needs right now. And do ensure that she eats a lot of food and makes she doesn't get upset" Rodriguez added calmly. Aidan had rushed out to call the doctor when the initial shock had wear off him. And thank goodness he did. "I congratulate you once again Mr Aiden." He bowed stiffly, before moving out. Since the doctor didn't want Fiona to listen in on his diagnostic, they were conversing in the corridor.The thought of Fiona going through the hardship of accepting the harsh reality was already hitting Aiden.... hard. A trickle pain of hers turned to an ocean of his own. If he could take her pain as his own, he would. Without thinking twice!He str
