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
CHAPTER 55FIONA POVThen, SMACK! I gave her a loud slap across her face.Candice looked at me as if I had just committed the ultimate crime. But I didn't care about her at all. I am done with putting up with her bullshit. I am not a mother so she needs to know that I will not let her get away with anything and everything that she does. "How do you slap me? Do you know who I am? can make sure that I ruin your entire life. Do you know that my father can make sure that you never ever survive in this city again?" Candice asked me. Women like her are really disgusting to me. All she knows how to do is use her Father's money and influence to threaten other people. If it was someone else who doesn't have the same money and influence that she has, they'll bullied for nothing. "Listen here Candice. I am not your mother and I am definitely not going to condone any of your excesses. Your father may sit back and watch as you treat people the way you want just because you have a bit of mone
CHAPTER 57FIONA POVHe won't appreciate it if we lose our temper on Candice right now"I frowned when I thought of Aiden's father. I remember that man very well He always seemed to have a stoic look on his face and he is a very serious man. He is not someone who takes any nonsense from anyone. But he has a soft spot for his wife. I can see the way that he looked at her her when we were at dinner that day He only had eyes for her at the table. That is the kind of love that I want in my life and to be sincere I really envied it when I saw the both of them that day. But I just cannot keep tolerating all of the excesses of Candice just because of his parents. I don't think that I will be able to do it at all. I don't want to put up with her any longer. He will just have to find a way to talk to his mother and let her see that Candice is a crazy bitch who wants to break up the marriage of her son. Maria may seem like a very naive and innocent woman but from what I saw of her tha
CHAPTER 58AUTHOR POVAiden took a deep breath as he thought about what Fiona said. What she said actually did make a lot of sense. They just can't let Fiona do whatever she wants. They need to put an end to all of her excesses sooner or later. She won't stop. "Don't worry. I will speak to my father about this. He loves my mother a lot. He won't tolerate what Fiona is trying to do. My dad will be the one to take care of this!" Aiden said. He knows that no matter what he says, hid mother is not going to listen to him. .....Fiona left Aiden's office and went back to her desk that was placed just outside Aiden's office. Immediately she was seated a woman walked over to her with a big smile plastered on her . Fiona recognised the woman has the sales department head who was standing outside Aiden's office that day that her brother was at a company. She took a deep breath. she knows that this woman is definitely here for some gossip. And she is not going to leave until she gets what

Even the food she hated as a norm was now her favorite.At night, he had to buy snacks Incase she would begin craving unnecessarily. Sadly, most of the snacks he had gathered, she always rejected.However, she was getting incredibly sensitive."I'm hungryyyy I want pasta!" Fiona cried out from the bedroom.Aiden was in the kitchen which was a complete mess, cooking pasta that she had been crying about for two hours now.She had requested for a sa
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! 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
AUTHORwhat he had always wanted was the happiness of his daughter and he can't be any more thankful for this. 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
