CANDICEI rushed into the restaurant to meet with Maria, Aiden's mother. I thought that I will have to reach out to her if I want to talk to her and get closer to her son. But to my greatest surprise, she was the one who reached out to me first and she told me that she wanted to see me. I know that she doesn't mean anything about it. She's a really simple and stupid woman who is not capable of any tricks at all. But just because she doesn't mean anything by her invitation doesn't mean that I am not going to take advantage of it. I'm going to use this as much as possible. I walked over to her where she was seated in the restaurant. "Hello Maria. How have you been doing?" I asked her while giving her a cheerful smile. She took my hand in hers. "I've been fine. I'm sorry that I've not made the effort to see you in a few days. It's just that my husband and son seemed mad that you were at the house. I told them that you are just friend but judging from the history that you have with
CANDICE POVMaria took my hand in hers. "Candice, are you lonely?"I looked at Maria in shock. Has this crazy woman lost her mind now? Out there she asked me if I am lonely? Do I look like I am lonely to her? If not for the fact that I love her son so much and that I will give up anything to get back with him and be his wife , I won't even be wasting my time with our right now what the heck does she think she is out there she asked me if I am lonely? "Mariah I don't understand what you are talking about. How can you ask me if I am lonely? I am not lonely at all I came out to accompany you because you asked me to and not because I am lonely. This something happened? Why are you asking me such a question?" I asked her. I tried my best to sound as confused as possible while keeping the irritation out of my voice. I don't want her to know that I am very upset with the question that she asked me right now. After all she's going to be my future mother-in-law and I have to do all that I
CHAPTER 50SOPHIA'S POVAs long as you want me to, I'll find someone else for you. You'll be happy with him. Do you want that?" I laughed to cover up the intense anger that I was feeling right now. What the heck is wrong with this woman? If I really wanted a man does she think that I won't be able to get one? I can just tell my father about it. Although he hates me right now, he will be just too happy to hand me over to any man that comes across his way just so that I don't have to be his problem anymore. "No Maria. I am sure that I don't need a man in my life right now to stop the Break-Up between Aiden and I was my fault. I just want to work between myself and make sure that I am a better person for the next person that is going to be with me. I don't want to make any more mistakes. I want to do better for the relationships to come. I think that I am not going to meet anyone for now" I said to Maria. She kept nodding her head and hanging on my every word as I talked. I could see
CHAPTER 51 CANDICE POV. I can just pretend that it has nothing to do with her. She won't know anything at all."Okay. I am going to do to just that. I am going to send the food to Fiona and Aiden" I said. ....I walked into Aiden's office proudly. Immediately I told the receptionist that I was sent by his mother and put Maria on the phone for her, she instantly let me in. I walked to his office and knocked on the door. When I heard his extremely sexy voice telling me to come in, I immediately went in. "Hi Aiden" I said and smiled at him. Aiden looked up from the files that was in front of him and his eyes landed on my face. Immediately he saw me, the bored look that was on his face disappeared. He was looking at me with a hint of suspicion. I know that he's wondering why the fuck I'm here in his office right now. "What are you doing here?" He asked me. "You don't have to look at me as if I'm your enemy or as if I came to steal something away from you. I'm actually here becaus
CHAPTER 52CANDICE POV"Aiden? Are you kicking me out of your office now?" I asked him. "What else do you think I am doing? I already told you that I didn't want anything to do with you! I ignored the fact that you went around lying to your friends about the both of us being in a relationship. You even harrased my wife in the process! I decided to let it go based on the relationship that we had in the last but don't think that I am going to tolerate anything and everything from you! I won't do that! Now get out of here before I call security" he said. My face burned in embarrassment when I heard this. How dare he? How dare he bring up that embarrassing incident? Does he really like embarrassing me and making a fool out of me so much? "Hey Aiden, why do you have to bring that up? You know that I did all or that because I am in love with you! I really love you so much that I don't even mind making a fool of myself just so that you can look at me.! But you really think that you can us
CHAPTER 53CANDICE POV"I don't....she asked me to bring lunch to him!" I said. Fiona gave me a look that told me that she did not believe me at all. There was a teasing look into my eyes and told me that she knows that I am lying but she is just going along with it just to make fun of me. I felt guilty when I saw her looking at me like this. I really wanted to salvage whatever image it is that she had of me in her mind. It's not as if I am lying anyway. I really did come here because Maria asked me to bring lunch for both of them. "I am not lying. His mother really asked me to bring lunch to him because she knows that Aiden forgets to eat and she was worried that you don't know how to take care of him so she sent me here because both of us are friends" I said. I failed to realize that I just looked pathetic trying to explain to her before but I saw that now. I should not have said this. "I am not saying that she did not send you to bring lunch for her son. everyone know that
CHAPTER 54FIONA POVI knew that Candice was watching me all the through the time that I had lunch with Aiden. I knew that it was killing her inside to watch the both of us being so lovely dovey with each other but I didn't care about her opinion. She deserved it. How dare she walk into Aiden's office and confess his love so openly? I noticed that I was starting to get so possessive of Aiden but I didn't even care at all. This woman needs to know that she is mine for the next one year and back off. She needs to have some self respect and walk away before I scratch her face and teach her a lesson that she will never forget. I know that she will follow me to the restroom so I went there. As expected, she was waiting for me. She even had the guts to tell me that Aiden will fall back to her soon. She's oozing with insecurity and she doesn't even realize it. "Since you are so sure that he is in love with you and that he is going to leave me for you very soon you should go talk to him.
CHAPTER 56FIONA POVSo go ahead..... go ahead and do what it is that you think you want to do. Go ahead and do your worst you will be the one who will lose everything in the long run" Candice shuddered in fear when I said this. I think it's because she knows that I am telling the truth. Her so called father is definitely not going to watch her go against Aiden and his wife. He definitely won't help her harm me. Besides, I know people like her very well. May be her father's company can't even compare with my father's company. She is just one of those people who can bully the poor and fear the rich. She doesn't pose a threat to me at all. Candice give me one last look that I think that she must have told herself is threatening but wasn't threatening at all. She turned and walked away angrily. It was clear from the way she walked that she just wanted to kill someone to relieve her anger. She must be living with a lot of pent-up anger and frustration right now. She didn't get wha

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! Can't you see that I am a pregnant woman?!" She screamed furiously and snatched the gun away from him, shooting him straight in the head then turned to the othe

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. And for goodness sake, even if you grow old and become ugly, I won't leave you. I am not with you because ot my looks. I am with you because I love you. The
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
