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
CHAPTER 59AUTHOR POVFiona nodded her head. Hopefully, she will get the memo and leave her alone. ciara stood there with a smile on her face. Even though she could not get Fiona to go with her, she did not want to give up just like that. She was still hoping that Fiona will give her something , anything. "So Fiona, I forgot to ask you that day...what is your relationship with the CEO? I can see that the both of you are very close...is there anything that you need to tell me?" Ciara asked Fiona with a wink. Fiona sighed in defeat. She knows that Ciara will never let go of this. She's definitely going to want to dig out everything about her. "I don't know what you are talking about. The CEO is the CEO. What kind of relationship could I possibly have with him?" Fiona asked Ciara. Ciara laughed. She could see that Fiona was trying to avoid the topic. But she wasn't going to let her do that. "Of course you know what I am talking about! I saw the both of you that day! In his office .
HOUSTON POVI was in my office dealing with some work. I could not concentrate on my work though. All I could think about was the fact that my so called best friend Aiden was now married to my sister Fiona. All though Aiden is my good friend and I really like him as a friend, I just could not get past the fact that he had married my sister. I could not get past fact that we are married Fiona. And the worst part about all of this was the fact that he had almost found that a secret that I have been keeping hidden in my heart for so long. Even Fiona and her parents have not been able to find out about this. How he found out will found out his forever a mystery to me. But Aiden has always been a smart man. I had quickly denied it back then but I know that he did not believe you. He is definitely going to try to get to the bottom of this. I sighed again. Ever since he found out about it I had been on pins and needles. I am afraid that Aiden is going to tell Fiona and even worse, I a
CHAPTER 61HOUSTON POVI hated Aiden so much right now. Fiona should be mine. If he are not show up in Fiona's life she will still be my sister she would have already gotten married to me whether she likes it or not and I would have made her fall in love with me. But he just have to walk in and everything. I should never have left Fiona work for Aiden. I thought that it was going to consider the fact that She is my sisters and leave her alone but I was wrong. And now I am sure that he must have probably gone and told Fiona about the fact that I am in love with h r He is definitely going to try to tell Fiona just to get her to stay away from me. But at least I know Fiona very well. Even though she doesn't act like it, I know that she looks up to me as an older brother she probably won't believe anything that Aiden decides to tell her about me right? I just hope that she doesn't believe it. She will definitely run away from me if she knows that I like her. The reaction she h
CHAPTER 62HOUSTON POV"I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you mean?" pretending to be dumb seemed to be the best way to get myself out of this right now. Andrew rolled his eyes. "Do you really think that I am dumb? I have known about the feelings that you have for my daughter since a long time ago. I already knew about it I just decided to let it go and ignore it. It doesn't mean that I didn't know. Why do you think I wanted her to get married to you?" He asked me. My mouth was still hanging wide open because I seriously did not know what I was supposed to say to this. I thought that I had done a stellar job in keeping my feelings hidden away from all of them but it seems that I was wrong. He knew about it. He always knew about it. "I.....I....I really...." I really didn't know what to say. I tried to think of some excuse to give Andrew but the look in his eyes told me that I should not attempt it at all because he's going to just see through me. "Oh please Houston. Do you
CHAPTER 63HOUSTON POVI shook my head. Besides being married to Fiona, is there something else that he is trying to do? Andrew laughed when he saw that I knew nothing about this"I really can't believe that you don't know about this. But still, I guess that he won't tell you about it since he won't want his so called best friend to know what he is getting up to behind his back. I mean, he said that he is your friend so he should at least act like it right?" Andrew asked me..I had a feeling that he was getting at something and it really unsettled me. "What are you trying to say? What did he do? Aiden and I are really good friends and even though he did not tell me that he is getting married to Fiona or that he has hooked up with her when the both of them first met, we are very good friends who don't keep anything away from each other. What is he trying to do that he is keeping away from me?" No matter what happens between the both of us in the future I really cherish my friendship

Sadly, most of the snacks he had gathered, she always rejected.However, she was getting incredibly sensitive."I'm hungryyyy I want pasta!"

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

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
